Chapter 664: Chapter 655: Summiting

"Only three hundred steps to go!"

Standing at the six hundredth step, Mo Wangchen looked up.

Despite possessing a Divine King Body, his breathing had already become much heavier.

The pressure was like a mountain pressing down on his shoulders, each step shaking the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder.

He stood still for less than three breaths, then resumed climbing.

Though the pressure here was already immense, it barely affected Mo Wangchen.

"Seven hundred steps now..."

Silence engulfed the arena, no one spoke, but as Mo Wangchen’s foot firmly landed onto the seven hundredth step, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but tremble.

"Where is his limit? With such speed, does that pressure truly have no effect on the Divine King Body?"

"Up to now, the Sky Demon Little King and others have just reached just over five hundred steps. Mo Wangchen is already two hundred steps ahead of them!"

"This is true leading by a wide margin. Today, will the first one to reach the peak be the Divine King Body?"

Everyone discussed, setting aside Mo Wangchen’s so-called taboo bloodline, his potential and talent commanded everyone’s respect.

Even the offspring of Ancient Kings and reincarnations of Ancient True Immortals like Leng Ziming were far behind him, trailing by a wide margin.

"Eight hundred steps now!"

The further they went, the more heroic Mo Wangchen seemed to become. Walking as if on flat ground, his pace quickened, and finally, he reached the eight hundredth step.

The crowd gasped, astonished expressions spread across their faces, "Six hours, eight hundred steps, only the last hundred steps remaining, is he really going to break the record?"

"Doesn’t that mean that his talent is even more terrifying than the one who spent ten hours reaching the top ages ago? Becoming a God is within reach!"

Becoming God!

This was the ultimate realm that every Cultivator aspired to!

But throughout the ancient years, how many from the Divine Realm Great Powers were there?

Excluding the kings of the Ancient Clan from generation to generation, from ancient times to the present, the Human Clan only had a few Ancient Gods that could be counted on two hands.

Moreover, as times had changed, reaching True Immortals was almost at the peak, not to mention surpassing True Immortals to achieve Heavenly Immortals or even Ancient Gods.

"Eight hundred and fifty steps!"

Half an hour later, the arena was abuzz again, and Mo Wangchen reached the eight hundred and fifty step.

At that moment, the entire arena focused. Everyone’s eyes were on Mo Wangchen, including those geniuses who were struggling to climb and had already stopped to meditate in place.

Sky Demon Little King, Leng Ziming, and others were currently at six hundred steps and were moving slower and slower. By now, Jiang Yuhang, Chu Feng, and Ye Fan had caught up with them, nearly walking side by side.

"It’s insane. Up to now, every step we take requires a long rest, but look at him; it seems he hasn’t rested since he started climbing the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder. He’s about to reach the peak."

Chu Feng, sitting cross-legged, looked upwards, showing utmost admiration for Mo Wangchen.

"Don’t think too much about it. We aren’t doing too badly either, right? Aren’t we also at the forefront now?" Ye Fan smiled, seemingly more relaxed. They might not compare to the Divine King Body, but they had reached the same level as Leng Ziming and others.

"Only three hundred steps left, let’s keep going." Jiang Yuhang said, taking a drop of Divine Spring from the Jade Bottle and swallowing it.

Instantly, her nearly depleted Spirit Sea surged once again, like thousands of horses galloping.

She slowly exhaled and stepped up, resuming her climb and obviously feeling much lighter than before.

Seeing this, Ye Fan and Chu Feng exchanged smiles and without hesitation, each swallowed a drop of Divine Spring and continued their climb.

"What’s going on?"

"Has their Spiritual Power recovered that quickly?"

Behind them, seeing Jiang Yuhang, Chu Feng, and Ye Fan gradually ascending, the Sky Demon Little King and others couldn’t help but frown.

Originally, in their view, among the current geniuses of the Human Clan, only Xia Jiujian and Leng Ziming were noteworthy. Jiang Yuhang, Chu Feng, and Ye Fan, although not inferior, still had some gap with them.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, on the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder, these three had actually surpassed them, which was indeed frustrating.

...

As time passed, the atmosphere in the venue seemed to grow even tenser. Many people held their breaths, watching Mo Wangchen who was tantalizingly close to the endpoint.

"Eight hundred and ninety steps!"

"Eight hundred and ninety-one steps!"

"Eight hundred and ninety-two steps!"

With every step Mo Wangchen took, everyone’s hearts would tremble, and they counted along.

By now, only just under seven hours had passed...

Today, they would witness a miracle, a miracle that shattered the ancient record set by an Ancient God Great Power!

"Eight hundred and ninety-five steps!"

"Eight hundred and ninety-six steps!"

"Eight hundred and ninety-seven steps!"

Under the gaze of the entire venue, Mo Wangchen steadily took three steps. Behind him, it seemed as if he carried the weight of 100,000 great mountains, causing his whole body to tighten without any slack.

Had it not been for the blessings of his Holy Rank Divine King Body, Mo Wangchen would not doubt that with his current speed of climbing, his body might have already collapsed and shattered.

"Just three steps left!"

At the eight hundred and ninety-seventh step, Mo Wangchen’s feet felt incredibly heavy, and he could feel his bones groaning under the massive oppressive force enveloping him.

He breathed heavily, his face showing an unyielding expression, and he slightly lifted his eyes to look up at the peak that was within reach.

"Boom!"

Another step landed, and the entire Lingyun Heavenly Ladder furiously shook at that moment. It was as if countless mountains came crashing down.

This step seemed to drain all of Mo Wangchen’s strength. He remained at the eight hundred and ninety-eighth step for an entire quarter of an hour.

"Boom!"

Another step was taken, causing the swinging of the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder to intensify.

By now, most people had already left the Heavenly Ladder, with only a few gifted individuals still desperately holding on.

However, those who remained on the Heavenly Ladder all chose to sit cross-legged in place, not daring to move upward.

The vibrations caused by Mo Wangchen were simply too colossal. If they were not careful, they might be in danger of being shaken off at any moment.

Wouldn’t that mean all their efforts had been in vain?

"The last step!"

The entire venue fell silent, and everyone’s gaze fixed unwaveringly on Mo Wangchen.

Then, after another half an hour, Mo Wangchen seemed to have regained his strength.

At the eight hundred and ninety-ninth step, he took a deep breath, and following that, he took one step up, reaching the nine hundredth step!
