It was an endless staircase that led straight to the clouds. It seemed to be connected to a palace in the boundless void.
Looking at it from afar, how majestic was the Stairway to Heaven?
At this moment, Wang Chen was standing in front of such a staircase.
That's right! This was the staircase of the second round of assessment.
Climbing the staircase to heaven and crossing three mountains was the second round of assessment.
Now, what Wang Chen needed to do was to climb the staircase to heaven.
At the last moment of noon, Wang Chen arrived at this place in the nick of time.
At this moment, powerful cultivators from all over had gathered in front of the staircase to heaven.
Although the number of people was still vast, it was insignificant compared to the number of people in Yin City.
At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of people from thousands of cities on the battlefield who participated in the selection.
But now?
There were less than ten thousand people left.
Everyone standing here had passed the first round of assessment. They were one of the twenty-five people who were selected.
There were even some who had to withdraw due to their injuries. As such, there were very few people left.
Less than ten thousand people stood in front of the staircase to heaven with solemn expressions.
When Wang Chen appeared, he did not attract much attention.
After all, there were close to ten thousand people present, and Wang Chen was only one of them. After all, Wang Chen was very low-key and did not cause any waves.
There were only a few people who noticed him.
Standing in the crowd, Wang Chen panted heavily.
He looked around, but the dense crowd made it difficult for him to see Mo Peng's figure, nor could he see Wei Cheng's figure for a moment.
How are they?
Looking at the battlefield, Wang Chen even thought of his elder brother, Black Robe, and the others.
This time, did they come to participate in the selection of this place? Are they among the crowd?
There were thousands of cities on the battlefield, and there were hundreds of people from each city participating in this selection. Where are they?
There were too many thoughts in Wang Chen's mind, but they were all suppressed by the voice that came from the void.
"At dawn, climb the staircase to heaven. Those who pass the staircase to heaven will cross three mountains.
Those who can cross three mountains will pass this round of assessment! "
A soft snort resounded in everyone's mind!
Hearing this voice, a commotion broke out in the crowd.
Tomorrow at dawn, the second round of the test would begin. This made everyone look at the stairway to heaven with passion.
There were even more people who quickly sat down and began to cultivate after the frenzy.
The first stage had already caused many people to be injured.
They needed to recover from their injuries as soon as possible. They needed to adjust their condition as soon as possible to face the next assessment.
Among the crowd, Wang Chen quickly entered into a state of cultivation.
Circulating the Star Tempering Technique, Wang Chen's entire body was enveloped in a faint layer of starlight.
His injuries began to heal bit by bit under the starlight.
…
Time flowed by, and this night seemed especially short.
The moment the first rays of dawn appeared, everyone in the field opened their eyes.
Almost at the same time, they focused their gazes on the Heaven Stairway in front of them.
In the light of dawn, the stairway seemed to turn golden, emitting a dazzling light.
"I'll make a move first!"
An angry roar came from the crowd.
In the next moment, a figure took the lead and flew toward the Stairway to Heaven.
"Me too! Hahaha … "
Then, there was a burst of laughter.
Figures flew out like a rain of arrows, heading straight for the Stairway to Heaven.
On the empty Stairway to Heaven, figures suddenly appeared.
Looking at this scene, Wang Chen slightly narrowed his eyes.
The Stairway to Heaven had already opened, but he was not in a hurry!
This time, there was no time limit for crossing the Stairway to Heaven.
The Stairway to Heaven would be open for a full day. As long as one entered the Stairway to Heaven, there was no need to care about time. If one could cross the Stairway to Heaven, it would be considered a success.
This made Wang Chen appear exceptionally calm.
In the field, there were many people who looked like Wang Chen!
As the figures flew out, the number of people in the field continued to decrease.
"Brother Mo Peng!"
After an unknown period of time, when a figure appeared in Wang Chen's sight, the corner of Wang Chen's mouth curled up into a smile.
Mo Peng!
That's right. The figure that appeared on the Stairway to Heaven was Mo Peng.
Not only Mo Peng, but Wang Chen also saw Wei Cheng!
Mo Peng, Wei Cheng! Both of them walked to the Stairway to Heaven.
This meant that the final victors of the Lin City assessment were Wang Chen, Mo Peng, and Wei Cheng!
Seeing this, how could Wang Chen not be overjoyed?
"That's …"
However, before the joy ended, a familiar figure caused Wang Chen's heart to tremble violently.
"Brother!"
Eyes widened, Wang Chen's expression was filled with surprise and shock.
The figure in the distance seemed to have frozen time!
That was Wang Chen's brother who had died — Wang Yan!
He appeared on the Stairway to Heaven.
"And … Yoo Shin-yan!"
Then, Wang Chen saw another familiar figure!
Yoo Shin-yan!
She was still dressed in a long white dress, like a fairy from the Nine Heavens. She was otherworldly like a snow lotus, sacred and inviolable.
Yoo Shin-yan, she had appeared too.
Upon seeing this, Wang Chen's heart seemed to have stopped beating.
When Wang Chen collected his thoughts, the Stairway to Heaven was already crowded with people.
As for the empty space before the Stairway to Heaven?
At that instant, there were not many figures left.
Meanwhile, Wang Chen saw another familiar figure.
After Wang Yan and Yoo Shin-yan, Wang Chen saw another familiar figure.
Duan Tianren, Yen Seung-yueh, the Saintess of the Valley of Forgotten Love!
The three figures appeared in Wang Chen's sight.
"What a surprise to see you here! This time, I won't lose to you! "
At the same time that Wang Chen noticed these people, the three of them also noticed Wang Chen.
They halted their steps as they were about to leave.
Duan Tianren turned to look at Wang Chen and said in a deep voice.
Previously, he had lost to Wang Chen in the trial in the Realm of Demons. This time, he wouldn't do it again!
Duan Tianren took a step forward and headed toward the Stairway to Heaven.
Only a single sentence was left as a declaration of war, a sign of their reunion.
As for the rest, they would talk about it after the Stairway to Heaven.
Previously, after separating from Wang Chen and the others at the City of Sin in the Tianxuan Continent, Duan Tianren had returned to the Realm of Demons and obtained unimaginable benefits with the support of his sect!
This time, he was going to challenge Wang Chen.
"See you on the Stairway to Heaven!"
The Saintess of Forgotten Love was still wearing a veil. She nodded slightly at Wang Chen who was standing in the distance, as if she was smiling under the veil.
She headed toward the Stairway to Heaven after finishing her sentence.
In the end, only Wang Chen and Yen Seung-yueh were left.
At that instant, the two were a few thousand meters apart.
It felt like they were the only two people left in the world.
When their eyes met, the entire world seemed to tremble.
"You've improved a lot!"
Yen Seung-yueh finally said after a moment of silence.
Yen Seung-yueh could sense the powerful aura emitting from Wang Chen's body.
"You too!"
Wang Chen said with a smile.
Him and Yen Seung-yueh?
They seemed to be enemies, but not enemies. They were friends, but not friends!
The two of them were destined to compete with each other for the rest of their lives.
However, the two of them were not destined to become enemies who would fight to the death.
Between them, there was more admiration for each other and appreciation for each other!
"I knew you'd be here!"
Yen Seung-yueh said after a moment of silence.
"I thought so too!"
Wang Chen's expression remained calm, with a smile on his face.
The two spoke at the same time. The next moment, they burst out laughing.
"HAHA … Great! Let's see who wins and who loses this time! "
Yen Seung-yueh's eyes lit up.
There was no need for too many words between them.
Sometimes, a sentence or a look was enough.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yen Seung-yueh's aura soared.
"I won't lose!"
Wang Chen's expression froze, releasing a majestic aura.
"HAHA … We'll meet again on the Stairway to Heaven!"
Hearing Wang Chen's words, Yen Seung-yueh laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed, disappearing in front of Wang Chen in the blink of an eye.
The speed was so fast that even Wang Chen's pupils shrank.
"Divine power?"
Wang Chen narrowed his eyes.
That's right! He was sure that the figure Wang Chen and Yen Seung-yueh displayed was a divine power. A divine power that was not inferior to the Soaring Azure Sky.
"It seems like you've also obtained a great opportunity! But, it's not enough! "
Looking at Yen Seung-yueh, who appeared on the Stairway to Heaven, Wang Chen mumbled.
A movement technique comparable to the Soaring Azure Sky? This could not be obtained without a great opportunity.
Obviously, Yen Seung-yueh had his own opportunity.
Thinking of this, Wang Chen took a deep breath. He would not be jealous, because he had his own opportunity. He would not be afraid, because he was confident that he would not be inferior to anyone else.
Yen Seung-yueh wants to compete? Then compete!
"It's my turn now!"
Recollecting his thoughts, Wang Chen mumbled softly. His figure dashed out.
Swoosh …
As if tearing space apart, Wang Chen's figure turned into a stream of light. In the blink of an eye, he appeared on the Stairway to Heaven.
Boom …
The moment Wang Chen stepped on the Stairway to Heaven, his figure suddenly shook.
A terrifying pressure shrouded Wang Chen.
At that moment, his blood seemed to freeze, his body seemed to collapse, and his soul trembled violently.
In an instant, the endless energy in Wang Chen's body seemed to freeze.
"Pressure?"
With a serious expression, Wang Chen mumbled to himself.
The pressure emanating from the top of the Sky Ladder terrified Wang Chen at once!
The powerful pressure shrouded Wang Chen, and at this moment, it seemed like it was going to tear Wang Chen's body apart.
The blood in his body surged crazily, and Wang Chen's face turned solemn.
"There's also the aura of the Great Path. This is a challenge, and also an opportunity! "
Then, sensing the trace of aura contained in the Heaven's Might, Wang Chen's expression changed a little.
This was a test, but it was also a boundless fortune.
After taking the first step, Wang Chen savored it carefully. He was not in a hurry to take the second step!
