When he reached the 300th step, the pressure suddenly increased. However, Xia Ruofei already had experience, so he was prepared in advance. Although his body was shaking and the Essence Energy in his body was vibrating violently, he still stood firmly on the steps and quickly stabilized his Essence Energy with the help of the powerful Dao Technique.
Then, he climbed step by step with a strong sense of rhythm.
If someone stood at the bottom of the obsidian staircase and looked up, Xia Ruofei's figure would be very small.
He had already climbed more than half of the steps.
However, the top of the stairs still looked unreachable.
The pressure produced by the staircase was getting stronger and stronger, and Xia Ruofei felt that it was getting more and more difficult.
However, his heart was still very determined. He was focused on climbing up and did not consider the gains and losses at all.
He did not even look up at the light screen door at the top of the staircase because he was worried that he would shrink back and feel despair because of the distance and the pressure would be too strong.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei was now staring at the steps in front of him with an extremely determined expression. He climbed up step by step at a slow but rhythmic speed.
330 steps, 350 steps, 380 steps …
Xia Ruofei's expression became more and more painful. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned red. At this time, the pressure was so strong that he could not completely resist it even if he resisted with all his strength. His body was constantly being squeezed by tens of thousands of kilograms of Essence Energy, and the Essence Energy in his body was vibrating more and more violently.
Although it was difficult for him to walk, he still maintained a good rhythm and approached the 400th step step by step.
The 399th step.
Xia Ruofei stood firmly on it. The veins on his face were already protruding, and sweat kept dripping on the obsidian steps. Although his legs were stable, there was no part of his body that was not under tremendous pressure. He felt as if his bones were about to crack. At this position, even if he released all his Essence Energy, he could not completely offset the huge pressure. He was now completely relying on his physical body to withstand it.
Xia Ruofei panted heavily. The Great Dao Formula in his body was madly circulating, and the violently vibrating Primordial Qi calmed down bit by bit.
There was a hint of madness in his eyes. He made an exception and looked up at the light screen door at the top of the stairs.
At this moment, he was still more than a hundred steps away from the top.
If he had just reached level 100, it would have been as easy as eating and drinking.
However, after reaching the four hundredth step, he had to endure a huge pressure with every step. Although the door was not far away, it seemed even more unreachable.
Xia Ruofei caught his breath. His lips trembled slightly as he squeezed out a sentence, "I've never believed in evil!"
In fact, because of the huge pressure, it was strenuous for him to speak, and it was obviously very tiring for him to speak. However, after Xia Ruofei gritted his teeth and said those words, he seemed to have gained some strength.
He circulated the Cultivation Method a few more times before a fierce look appeared in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and stepped onto the 400th step.
Boom!
Xia Ruofei felt a roar in his head. A huge pressure hit him in the face. He felt as if he was at the bottom of the sea, and the huge water pressure that was enough to crush a submarine into scrap metal suddenly attacked him from all directions. At the same time, the Primordial Qi that had just calmed down in his body started to boil.
What troubled Xia Ruofei the most was that the spiritual pressure had increased to the extent that he could not withstand it. His head kept buzzing.
In the secret space filled with dense purple Qi.
Daoist Master Qing Xuan and Zhenren Shanhe clenched their fists. Although their faces were calm, there was a hint of nervousness in their eyes.
Both of them knew very well that the 400th step was a threshold. If Xia Ruofei could not withstand the huge impact, he might be thrown out in an instant and be eliminated. Of course, strictly speaking, Xia Ruofei had already crossed the threshold of the 200th step. Even if he was teleported out, it would not be considered elimination. However, if he could not even reach the 400th step, this result would not meet their expectations.
If Xia Ruofei could withstand the impact on the 400th step, he might be able to go up many steps. This was because after the 400th step, the increase in pressure on each step would begin to slow down. Most of the cultivators who could reach the 400th step would not be eliminated at the 401st or 402nd step. Most of them would be able to go up ten or twenty steps, and some could even persist for dozens of steps.
Therefore, the 400th step was quite important.
In the image of the bronze mirror magic treasure, Xia Ruofei's body swayed a few times, and his face showed a very painful expression. However, he quickly moved his right foot up the next step. However, his body was still trembling involuntarily, and his legs could not stand firmly. This was a sign that he could be thrown out at any time by the huge force.
Daoist Master Qing Xuan and Zhenren Shanhe could not help but secretly worry, especially Zhenren Shanhe. Although he and Xia Ruofei had never met before, he very much admired this young man who had inherited his Mountain River Spirit Map treasure. In particular, Xia Ruofei's performance in the Tower of Trials made Zhenren Shanhe extremely satisfied.
Zhenren Shanhe was naturally full of high expectations for Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei opened his mouth with difficulty, and then gasped for breath. In fact, because of such a huge pressure, it was very difficult to gasp for breath. Under such pressure, many people would first feel suffocated, and feel that there was a serious lack of oxygen. Under the pressure, it was very difficult to open your mouth and breathe quickly under the pressure, and it was also very tiring.
The more tiring it was, the more they would gasp for breath.
This formed a vicious cycle.
However, Xia Ruofei's condition was still good. His physical body was much stronger than that of an ordinary Middle-stage Golden Core cultivator. In addition, his Golden Core was also different. The energy of his vitality was much stronger than that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, so it offset a lot of the pressure.
Although he was in a difficult situation at the moment, he could still hold on.
It was just that the increase in pressure had suddenly increased by a lot, which caught him off guard. Although he was already mentally prepared, he still didn't expect the increase in pressure this time to be so much greater than the previous 100, 200, and 300 layers.
Xia Ruofei stood on the 400th step and adjusted his state with difficulty, trying to stabilize his vitality that was on the verge of going berserk.
Under the situation where the pressure of the spiritual force had a great impact on him, it became very difficult to operate the cultivation method without distraction. Moreover, the pressure of the pressure made him feel extremely painful, which made it even more difficult.
However, Xia Ruofei had always been tenacious and indomitable. What he did not lack the most was persistence.
On the 400th step, he adjusted for a full five minutes before he stabilized his vitality. At the same time, he gradually straightened his back and stabilized his body.
Seeing this, Daoist Master Qing Xuan and Zhenren Shanhe were secretly relieved.
Both of them had sharp eyes and could naturally see that Xia Ruofei was unlikely to be thrown out on this step.
Daoist Master Qing Xuan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Brother Shanhe, your disciple did not disappoint us!"
"He still suffers from the disadvantage of his cultivation." Zhenren Shanhe said calmly, "He's only at the Middle-stage of the Golden Core realm and has just broken through. This level is too difficult for him!"
Daoist Master Qing Xuan nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed. I remember that Xuan Jizi's performance on the 400th step was better than this child's … However, Xuan Jizi is also one of the top geniuses in the Xuanming Grotto-Heaven, and he was already at the Late-stage of the Golden Core realm when he challenged the Stairway to Heaven. "
Zhenren Shanhe curled his lips and said, "A core disciple of the Xuanming Grotto-Heaven … If my disciple was at the Late-stage of the Golden Core realm, his performance would definitely not be worse than Xuan Jizi's! I still have confidence in the 'Dao Formula' cultivation method! If it weren't for the fact that I have no way to re-cultivate, I would even be willing to disperse my cultivation and cultivate the 'Dao Formula' from scratch! "
"Really?" Daoist Master Qing Xuan couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. "I know that the 'Dao Formula' is the culmination of Brother Shanhe's efforts, but I didn't expect you to value it so much!"
Zhenren Shanhe smiled and looked at Xia Ruofei in the bronze mirror's image. He said, "To tell you the truth, Xia Ruofei is the only one among my disciples who cultivates the 'Dao Formula'. He's also the only one in the entire cultivation world who cultivates the 'Dao Formula'. I'm very optimistic about him! At least until he reaches the Golden Core realm, the 'Dao Formula' cultivation method meets my expectations, and even exceeds my expectations! "
If Xia Ruofei heard this, he didn't know how he would feel. He had always thought that the 'Dao Formula' was a mature cultivation method. He didn't know that it was a set of cultivation methods created by Zhenren Shanhe himself, and that Zhenren Shanhe himself had never cultivated it, including some of his other disciples.
At this moment, Xia Ruofei was concentrating on resisting the pressure.
After he stabilized his body, he didn't immediately step up. Instead, he continued to stay on the 400th step. On the one hand, he needed to catch his breath, and on the other hand, he needed to adapt to the sudden increase in pressure.
He would adjust for a while on the 100th step, in order to let his body adapt.
After a few more minutes, Xia Ruofei finally recovered. He secretly encouraged himself, and then stepped on the 401st step …
As expected, the increase in pressure this time was not big.
Although the current pressure had made Xia Ruofei barely able to support himself, he had adapted for a while after all, so he quickly stabilized his body, adjusted his breath a little, and continued to climb up.
Xia Ruofei seemed to have regained his stable rhythm, but the time he spent on each step was a little longer. In addition, his face was more serious, as if he felt that the situation was not good.
In fact, this was the case. Now, Xia Ruofei felt that the most troublesome thing was not the huge pressure that had reached 200 or 300 G, nor was it the invisible force that stirred up the vitality, but the pressure of the mental power.
The continuous increase in mental power pressure had now seriously affected Xia Ruofei.
In the face of such mental power pressure, there was no other way to resist it. He could only release his mental power to resist it.
Originally, Xia Ruofei's mental power was infinitely close to the Nascent Soul realm cultivator's Spirit Transformation realm. It could be said that among the Golden Core realm cultivators, his mental power was definitely at the top level. Most of the late Golden Core realm cultivators couldn't reach this level. However, after reaching more than 400 steps, Xia Ruofei still felt that the mental power pressure was making him more and more powerless.
This also showed how difficult this obsidian staircase was. The mental power cultivation at the top of the Golden Core realm could only hold on for more than 400 steps, which was a bit difficult.
Now, Xia Ruofei had to consume a lot of mental power with every step he took. His sea of consciousness was also constantly under attack, which gave him a splitting headache.
However, Xia Ruofei had never believed in heresy. Unless he couldn't bear it and fainted, he would definitely grit his teeth and persist.
The muscles on his face began to tremble slightly, but the rhythm of his steps was still very stable.
410 steps, 420 steps, 430 steps …
Xia Ruofei continued to climb slowly and steadily.
The mental power pressure was getting stronger and stronger. He felt that his sea of consciousness was about to be crushed. His head felt like it was being pricked by hundreds of millions of needles at the same time, and his ears were buzzing.
Under this pain, he still had to use all his strength to resist the increasing pressure.
At the same time, he also had to keep his mind clear and continue to use the Dao Incantation to stabilize his Essence Qi.
Now, Xia Ruofei basically had no way to stop the cultivation. Otherwise, his Essence Qi would instantly boil and be enough to invade his dantian. It could be said that it was extremely dangerous.
Xia Ruofei finally understood why the obsidian staircase was placed at the last level.
At first, he didn't feel it so strongly. However, when he reached around level 450, he deeply felt the horror of this pressure and also deeply felt the extreme difficulty of this level.
He paused for a while on the 450 steps.
In the secret space filled with dense purple Qi, Daoist Master Qing Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed right! This little kid has the ability to reach level 450! "
Zhenren Shanhe curled his lips and said, "Brother Qing Xuan, you're wrong! My disciple obviously hasn't reached his limit yet, so he will continue to climb. Your guess is not accurate! "
Daoist Master Qing Xuan said with a smile, "You and I both know that this child is already close to his limit! Look, he has been on the 450 steps for a long time. This means that he is already struggling to resist the pressure of this position. Therefore, even if he can continue to climb, I'm afraid he can only last a few more steps. "
Speaking of this, Daoist Master Qing Xuan looked at Zhenren Shanhe and then said with a smile, "Brother Shanhe, you guessed that he was at level 480. In the end, we will see whose answer is closer to this child's real result! Brother Shanhe, do you think that your disciple can last more than 15 steps in his current state? "
