"Step!"
"Seventh step!"
When the heavy footsteps once again landed, Xiao Yan's body was still firm. He was unwilling to lower his head as he stood on the seventh step of the 'Obsidian Tower's' seventh level. He clenched his teeth tightly and a hissing sound was repeatedly emitted from between his teeth.
Xiao Yan had used nearly four hours just to step onto these seven steps. This kind of speed was naturally as slow as a tortoise from Xiao Yan's point of view. However, he had never thought about what those nine star Dou Di would think if they were to see this.
This was especially so for the South Hall Master. Five years ago, he had also stepped onto these steps. However, he had only managed to step onto the tenth step after using two days. It was difficult to imagine what the South Hall Master would think if he were to see Xiao Yan's current speed.
Most importantly, the 'Obsidian Tower' was closing at this moment. The pressure within the tower had become even more frightening. It was completely incomparable to the pressure that the South Hall Master had to deal with back then!
This time around, Xiao Yan stood at the same spot and panted for half an hour. After which, he took another step with great difficulty.
His body was slightly hunched and his movements were as slow as an old man's. When Xiao Yan took another step onto the eighth step, his body suddenly sank and he nearly fell down. However, in the end, he forcefully stood up with a ferocious expression!
"Hah …"
A hoarse low roar was emitted from Xiao Yan's throat. This time around, his movements did not pause at all. He allowed the pressure above his head to descend. When he stepped onto the eighth step, his body suddenly bent down and one of his hands violently pressed against the ground with a 'bang'.
"Rip!"
Under this frightening pressure, the black robe that Xiao Yan was wearing was forcefully shattered, revealing Xiao Yan's bright red body underneath.
"Puff!"
The 'Heavenly Flame' rose. The dense white flame swiftly agglomerated on the surface of Xiao Yan's body and transformed into a flame armor. With this, he once again resisted the frightening pressure above his head!
"Crack!"
However, the flaming armor could only hold on for a short while before a cracking sound suddenly rang out!
"What?!"
He was shocked. He didn't expect the pressure to be so terrifying. Even the Heavenly Flame Armor couldn't withstand it!
Dark red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Under this frightening pressure, Xiao Yan's internal organs had also been injured. If he did not stop, it was likely that he would suffer an even more serious injury!
"Golden Elephant Mantra, activate!"
With a roar in his heart, a domineering golden light immediately condensed on the surface of Xiao Yan's body. The pressure on his body also decreased by a lot!
"Nine …"
Xiao Yan's mouth panted heavily as he once again lifted his foot and landed on the ninth step!
"Tenth …"
"Puchi!"
When he took the tenth step, the golden light that covered Xiao Yan's body rapidly dimmed. This time, Xiao Yan's hands landed heavily on the ground. His arms trembled violently as he forcefully supported his body. His solid muscles had become as hard as steel at this moment.
His four limbs were like pillars that supported the heavens as they forcefully supported Xiao Yan's body. However, just relying on these was clearly far from enough. In just a short moment, Xiao Yan's body began to sway even more. He appeared to be on the verge of collapsing, as though he would collapse at any moment.
"Little guy, can you still hold on?"
At this moment, Xiao Xuan's solemn voice sounded in his heart. The latter could no longer hold on. If he continued to stay here, Xiao Yan would only be seriously injured by the pressure here. At that time, it would really be troublesome.
Xiao Xuan was already prepared. Once Xiao Yan could no longer hold on, he would immediately draw a formation to temporarily resist the pressure in the Obsidian Tower!
"I … I can still hold on!"
Xiao Yan replied in his heart, unwilling to be outdone. Then, he lifted his head that had been pressed down and stared at the stairs in front of him. There were still eleven steps. As long as he stepped on them, he would be able to reach the seventh floor!
"Ha!"
There was a loud shout that was like the roar of a dragon accompanied by the cry of a phoenix. At the same time, the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline and the Dragon-Phoenix Ancient Armor worked together. Xiao Yan's entire body was covered in purplish-gold dragon scales!
At this moment, all the power in Xiao Yan's body frantically condensed on his legs. He took a step forward, as if he had the power to support the sky. A hurricane followed him, and his speed was like a flash, disappearing in the blink of an eye!
"Stomp!"
With a single stomp, he crossed two steps!
Three steps in a row!
Fourth!
Fifth!
"Twenty-first!"
Xiao Yan roared in his heart as his foot landed. Although his face appeared ferocious, it also contained some fanaticism. Both of his eyes were scarlet as he stared intently at the twenty-first step. His foot was finally about to step onto the twenty-first step. At the same time, it was also the seventh step, a place that only Origin Transformation experts could step into!
"The seventh floor!"
"Weng!"
However, just as Xiao Yan's foot landed on the seventh floor, a terrifying pressure suddenly rushed out from the seventh floor. It was like the Yellow River had burst through a dam, whistling past!
Xiao Yan's body was violently struck by this powerful pressure. He was sent flying with a single strike. After spending nearly six hours, Xiao Yan had returned to his original position in an instant!
"Puchi!"
His body heavily crashed into the ground, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, splattering everywhere.
With just a single strike, Xiao Yan was almost heavily injured. It was easy to imagine how terrifying the pressure on the seventh floor was!
"Pfft …"
Xiao Yan flipped his body and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. His flushed red face instantly lost its color and his entire aura became sluggish.
"Little guy, you were too impulsive this time. Even a normal Origin Transformation expert wouldn't have the ability to charge into the seventh floor! You actually … "
"Cough cough, ancestor, there is no need to worry. I only want to know where my limit is. Although I haven't truly ascended, I can be considered to know now."
Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yan parted his mouth and smiled. His face was unconcerned, and there was even a trace of excitement in his eyes.
His actions earlier might have been crazy, but he had done something that even a nine star Dou Di could not do.
On the twenty-first step, which was the seventh floor of the Obsidian Tower, there was a small footprint that was stained with some blood …
With a flip of his hand, a few tier four medicinal pills immediately appeared in his hand. These medicinal pills were precious on the outside, but they were just like jelly beans in his hand.
Xiao Yan swallowed them without cherishing them. Immediately, the dense medicinal strength rapidly turned into a warm current that spread throughout his body. His originally serious injuries rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the injuries he had suffered this time were not light, it was nothing out of the ordinary for Xiao Yan. He had long since become accustomed to it.
Borrowing the medicinal strength in his body, Xiao Yan recovered from his injuries while retreating to the first floor.
As the pressure within the tower increased, Xiao Yan was unable to continue staying on the sixth floor in addition to the injuries in his body.
Although his body was still heavy, Xiao Yan's movements were undoubtedly much lighter than before. It was as if the shackles on his body had been removed.
Unknowingly, Xiao Yan's speed had increased a little. However, due to the current situation, he did not notice this.
A short moment later, Xiao Yan had already appeared in front of the stairs to the first floor. From here, he could see the South Hall Master sitting outside the Obsidian Tower. The latter seemed to be waiting for him. When Xiao Yan appeared, their gazes met from a distance.
