After entering the ghost domain.
Lan Ling was not prepared at all and received an unprecedented visual impact.
Looking at the ghost domain from the outside, there was a season here every day. It was as if time was a hundred times faster than outside, and the scenery was incomparably beautiful.
After entering the ghost domain.
It was dark here, and the sky was torn apart, revealing a strange green light.
"Boom boom boom …"
Bolts of lightning struck down.
Every bolt of lightning was a terrifying pale green.
The entire ghost domain had no mountains, no water, no flowers, no trees, and no white snow.
The only thing was a mountain.
Oh, no!
This was not a mountain, but a pyramid, a black pyramid.
The foundation of the pyramid was a hundred miles wide. As for the height …
Lan Ling looked up and could not see the end at all. Perhaps it was ten thousand meters? Or even higher!
In short, it was not like a pyramid at all, but more like a mountain, even taller than all the mountains on Earth.
"Boom boom boom …"
The sky was still filled with lightning and thunder, tearing the black sky apart and emitting a pale green light.
Lan Ling gathered all his spiritual power and finally saw the top of the pyramid.
Perhaps ten thousand meters, or perhaps twenty thousand meters, the top of the pyramid flickered with a mysterious light.
Lan Ling thought, "Is the so-called Fiendgod's ruins at the top of this pyramid?"
How to reach the top of the pyramid?
Very simple, climb up the steps.
Each step was about a foot long. How many steps were there to the top of the pyramid?
He did not know, perhaps 30,000 steps, 50,000 steps, or 70,000 steps?
In short, it was like a stairway to heaven, leading directly to the dark sky.
Lan Ling turned his head back, trying to see Suo Mo, Constantine, and the others behind him.
In the end, when he turned back, there was only nothingness and darkness.
It was as if this was an independent world, and Lan Ling was standing at the edge of this world.
He turned around and tried to walk out.
In the end, no matter how far he walked, there was still endless darkness and nothingness in front of him.
That's right, he could never walk out of this ghost domain.
When he looked back, he found that it was as if he had not taken a step. The huge dark pyramid in front of him was still in front of him.
If the Fiendgod ruins were at the top of the pyramid, then Lan Ling would have to climb up.
Regardless of whether or not the mysterious light at the top of the pyramid came from the Fiendgod's ruins, what was certain was that it was a supreme treasure. It was definitely something extremely powerful, mysterious, and astonishing.
Taking a deep breath, Lan Ling prepared to climb the pyramid.
…
There were four doors in front of Lan Ling.
The first was green, the second was red, the third was yellow, and the fourth was white.
Obviously, this represented spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Green represented spring, red represented the scorching sun in summer, yellow represented ripe fruits, and white represented the cold snow in winter.
The choice in front of Lan Ling was, which door should he take?
On the surface, the Summer and Winter Gates were the scariest, because they represented high temperature and severe cold.
What would happen if he chose to walk through the Gate of Spring? What about the Autumn Gate? What would it be like?
Lan Ling took a deep breath. He did not make a choice. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to gather his mental energy, allowing his heart to completely calm down.
He wanted to distinguish whether this world was real or illusory. Which parts were real and which were illusory?
However, there was no doubt that this was beyond the scope of his mental energy.
No matter how hard he tried, when he opened his eyes again, it was still the ghost realm in front of him. There was no change.
At least, with his current knowledge and ability, he was still unable to distinguish whether this world was real or not.
…
Since he could not distinguish, climbing to the top of the pyramid was the only choice.
Whether it was to obtain the Fiendgod ruins, the mysterious treasure, or to find the ultimate truth, he had to live.
Now, what Lan Ling needed to do was to choose a door to enter.
Perhaps, once he made a choice, he could not change it.
On the surface, the Gate of Summer and the Gate of Winter should be the most dangerous.
But Lan Ling knew that the danger on the surface was not dangerous. The unknown danger was the real danger.
Therefore, the Gate of Spring and the Gate of Autumn might be the most dangerous.
After thinking for a long time, Lan Ling decided to choose the Gate of Summer.
Because he did not seem to be afraid of the heat. Even if he fell into the magma of a volcano, he would still be safe and sound. He had a Golden Demon Body.
So, Lan Ling walked into the Gate of Summer resolutely.
As expected...
After entering the Gate of Summer, the terrible heat hit him.
It was about 50 degrees Celsius, but this temperature was nothing to Lan Ling!
But when he looked up, he saw countless corpses on the steps in front of him, all of them dried up.
Maybe there were hundreds, thousands, or even more.
They were all lying on the steps along the way, each of them turned into dried up corpses.
Without a doubt, these were the people who had entered the ghost realm before. As expected, no one could come out alive.
Looking up, perhaps from the 100th step onwards, each step began to turn red, redder and redder, and finally, it was the color of magma.
As for the top of the pyramid, it was completely burning with flames.
Lan Ling began to climb.
The first step, the second step, the third step...
He clearly felt that with every step he went up, the temperature increased by about 10 degrees Celsius.
He kept climbing.
When he reached level 20, the clothes on his body couldn't take it anymore and were burnt to ashes.
At the 21st step, the shoes under his feet were burned to ashes.
At the 22nd step, his hair and eyebrows were all burned to ashes.
Lan Ling continued to climb.
The 23rd step, the 24th step, the 25th step, the 26th step...
At this time, the corpses on the steps by the side of the road were getting fewer and fewer.
The 32nd step.
The skin on Lan Ling's body began to melt and burn.
It was constantly being burned, and it was constantly recovering.
The soles of his feet were also burned again and again, and recovered again and again.
If one could see him, they would find that he was like a ghost, his whole body naked, burned to ashes again and again, and recovered again and again.
Endless fiery energy poured into his body.
His Golden Bloodline desperately swallowed and dissolved this energy, greatly reducing the damage to Lan Ling's body.
At this time, Lan Ling's eyes had already solidified into a kind of crystal, like a gem. They were no longer ordinary eyeballs, otherwise they would have boiled and exploded long ago.
Lan Ling continued to walk up step by step.
The 50th step.
The 80th step.
The 100th step.
At this time, the temperature here had already exceeded 1000 degrees.
"Boom..." Suddenly, Lan Ling's body began to burn.
"Ah..." he desperately screamed.
Endless pain assaulted him. This might be the true feeling of hell.
Entering the 18th level of hell and being fried in oil, this might be the feeling.
Lan Ling still stared at the terrible pain and climbed up step by step.
The Golden Bloodline in his body desperately swallowed the terrifying fiery energy, and desperately released energy to protect Lan Ling's life.
Gradually, Lan Ling could not feel the pain anymore. His nerves began to become numb. Even if he completely turned into a man of fire, he did not feel any pain.
He still numbly walked up, up, up...
The 159th step!
Lan Ling lost all consciousness and suddenly fell to the ground!
The flames on his body burned fiercely, and his body completely turned into ashes.
The speed at which the Golden Bloodline protected his life could not keep up with the speed at which the terrifying heat was devouring his life.
Lan Ling's brain became darker and darker, and finally completely disappeared.
In the traditional sense, he was already dead!
...
After an unknown amount of time.
Lan Ling slowly woke up, and found that his limbs were intact, safe and sound.
However, his shoes and clothes had all disappeared, and his whole body was exposed.
Then, he found that he had actually returned to the starting point, which was in front of the gate of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
He was clearly dead just now, but now he actually came back to life.
Without a doubt, everyone else who entered the Ghost Realm had died. Why was he the only one who survived?
Immediately after, Lan Ling clearly felt that his strength had increased.
Then, he began to search. When he entered the Ghost Realm, he carried some scale stone strips on his back to test his cultivation. Before entering the Gate of Summer, he placed these scale stone strips on the ground.
Sure enough, he found these scale stone strips.
He took a deep breath and picked up the 1,300-kilogram stone bar. To his surprise, he was able to lift it with one hand, even though it was a little strenuous.
Although it was a bit strenuous, there was no doubt that his arm strength had broken through the 1300 jin mark.
Inexplicably, he actually broke through to the Magic Warrior! He used all the strength in his arms, and finally lifted the 1300 jin stone strip.
In the terrifying heat, after climbing the 159 steps, he actually broke through to the Magic Warrior? Previously, his arm strength was only 1273 jin, and the closer he was to the Magic Warrior, the slower his improvement in the Hell Trials became. But now, he actually broke through to the Magic Warrior.
Why was it like this?
If the terrifyingly high temperature environment was effective in improving one's cultivation, why didn't Lan Ling's cultivation increase at all in the magma? Instead, he had to fool around with women to vent the excess heat energy in his body?
Could it be that climbing the steps here was a kind of cultivation?
For others, once they died, they would really die.
However, Lan Ling had the Golden Bloodline, the Golden Demon Body, could he actually be resurrected after dying? At least, in this Ghost Realm, he could be resurrected!
Then, wouldn't he be able to try infinitely?
...
The second time, Lan Ling chose the Gate of Winter!
Sure enough, after entering the Gate of Winter, it was a terrifying cold.
The first step was zero degrees Celsius.
And on the steps here, there were even more corpses, each lifelike as if they were ice sculptures.
Looking up from here, after the 100 steps, each step revealed a strange blue crystal color.
Not only that, the mysterious light at the top of the pyramid was like the reflection of the glacier.
Lan Ling braved the cold, climbing step by step.
Level 10, level 30, level 50, level 80!
There were finally no more corpses on the two sides of the steps here, because before reaching this height, everyone had frozen to death.
This was negative 80 degrees Celsius!
It was almost at Lan Ling's limit.
His Golden Bloodline desperately devoured the cold energy, and released heat to protect Lan Ling's body and life.
Lan Ling continued to climb step by step.
He now finally knew that the cold was more painful than the heat.
That kind of painful cold was ten times more painful than being burned, ten times more painful than being cut by a knife.
In fact, the feeling of cold and fire were very similar to a certain extent.
Level 125!
Level 130!
At this time, Lan Ling's bloodline seemed to have reached its limit. The energy that surged out from the depths of his bloodline could no longer withstand the cold around him.
Lan Ling's body gradually began to stiffen, and he began to lose consciousness.
Level 139.
Finally, Lan Ling's body completely lost consciousness, and he was completely frozen into an ice sculpture by the cold.
Then, his consciousness gradually disappeared, and finally turned into darkness.
Once again, Lan Ling died!
…
After an unknown amount of time, Lan Ling woke up again, and was resurrected again.
Then, he tested the strength of his arm once more.
Previously, it was 1,303 kilograms, and this time … 1,400 kilograms!
He broke through again, and became a one-star Demon Warrior!
He was wild with joy. According to this calculation, even if he did not obtain any Demon God ruins, just climbing the steps in the Gate of Summer and the Gate of Winter was enough for him to break through.
Thus, Lan Ling excitedly walked into the Gate of Summer again.
But …
He could not go in. The Gate of Summer was closed, and no matter what he did, he could not go in.
Then, he tried to go to the Gate of Winter.
The result was the same. He could not go in either.
For others, no matter which door they entered, death was death.
But Lan Ling could be resurrected, but it was impossible to go through unlimited trials. There was only one chance to enter each door.
His heart suddenly became heavy!
Because, his goal was the top of the pyramid, and there were only four doors.
He had already entered two doors, and he still had two chances.
If he entered all four doors of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter and died in the end, then not only would Lan Ling not be able to reach the top of the pyramid, but he would also have no chance to go out. He would be trapped here alive.
Then, what should he choose between the Gate of Spring and the Gate of Autumn?
Lan Ling chose the Gate of Spring!
…
Enter the Gate of Spring!
Suddenly, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was blue. Occasionally, a white cloud floated.
The climate here was suitable, and the spring breeze was pleasant. It was the best spring.
Lan Ling looked up. At first, the steps were gray, but then they gradually turned white. After the 100th step, they turned green. The further he went, the greener it became, and the green was almost transparent.
The mysterious light at the top of the pyramid seemed to have turned into a gorgeous and bright flower.
Lan Ling began to climb the steps again, one step at a time. His goal was the top of the pyramid.
Ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps …
I don't feel anything?
It did not get cold, nor did it get hot. The temperature was always comfortable.
Moreover, the spring breeze was always pleasant, and the wind did not get stronger or weaker.
But after the 50th step, Lan Ling suddenly felt a little itchy.
After the 80th step, Lan Ling found a terrible thing. His body seemed to have begun to rot.
It seemed that there were countless bacteria and microorganisms growing in his body.
After the 100th step, these bacteria and microorganisms grew bigger and bigger, devouring Lan Ling's body frantically.
Every visible part of Lan Ling's body was rotting.
His golden bloodline was desperately releasing energy, desperately trying to restore Lan Ling's body, desperately trying to protect his own vitality.
After the 129th step …
The speed at which countless microorganisms and bacteria were devoured far exceeded the recovery speed of the golden bloodline.
Lan Ling completely rotted, turning into a pool of mud and falling on the steps.
At this time, Lan Ling remembered why there were no corpses in the Gate of Spring.
Because all the corpses had rotted into ashes and completely disappeared!
This was indeed spring, and the invisible killing intent was the most terrifying.
Spring was the season of growth, so countless tiny life forms took over Lan Ling's body and became their nourishment.
Lan Ling clearly felt his body rot quickly and then be devoured by countless disgusting creatures.
Gradually, his consciousness gradually fell into darkness.
Lan Ling died again!
…
After an unknown amount of time, Lan Ling resurrected and woke up again!
Then, Lan Ling couldn't wait to try his arm strength.
In the end, he only lifted a stone bar weighing 1,400 kilograms. His strength and cultivation did not improve at all.
The steps after he entered the Gate of Spring did not improve his cultivation.
It turned out that the goal of climbing the steps was still to reach the top of the pyramid.
As for Lan Ling climbing the steps in the Gate of Summer and the Gate of Winter to improve his cultivation, it was only because of the coincidence of his bloodline, not the original function of this ghost realm.
This was not some secret trial land at all, this was the ghost realm!
In the Gate of Summer, he climbed 159 steps.
In the Gate of Winter, he climbed 139 steps.
In the Gate of Spring, he climbed 129 steps.
There were tens of thousands of steps to the top of the pyramid, and he had not even completed 1%.
Now, there was only one door left in front of Lan Ling, and that was the Gate of Autumn.
This was his last chance, and also his only chance!
Not only was it his only chance to reach the top of the pyramid, but it was also his only chance to leave this world.
