Chapter 450: Chapter 436: The Will of the Tribe Comes Upon You!_1

Step!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Chen stopped hesitating. Breathing deeply, his face became serious, and the hand clutching the Dark Blood War Spear tightened, the veins standing out sharply. He lifted his foot and placed it on the first step.

Boom!

Xiao Chen’s body was as if it had slammed into an invisible barrier stopping him from stepping up. This step was far from ordinary, it was as if he was climbing a Heavenly Ladder.

Hum Hum Hum!

With this step, the sacrificial platform vibrated.

Around Xiao Chen, a significant power of Blood Qi exploded, stirring up an invisible trend. This simple step affected not just him but also the endless momentum of the entire Gu Yuan Tribe.

On top of the Heavenly Ladder, there was an endless boost of the human race’s destiny. True divine power was like a prison while the divine grace was like a sea. Now that Xiao Chen was climbing the Heavenly Ladder, he was in a way contradicting the will of the human race. It was like opposing Heaven itself.

Boom!

A foot finally landed, and it seemed to contain some mysterious power. In the sky above the sacrificial altar, a sudden changes in the weather occurred. Large patches of purple clouds descended from the boundless void, the clouds and mist violently rolled making the Desolate Mountain Forest of thousands of miles vibrate.

In the depths of the ancient forest, many untamed beasts could no longer roar at the sky. Making whimpering sounds, they crawled into their nests and trembled. This was the Supreme Will of the Human World, even the strongest dared not provoke this force, fearing their destruction.

Roar!

An ancient giant dragon roared, its tail whipped with such power that the mountains and rivers were instantly shattered, and the earth moved. A phoenix danced in the sky, the flames that came from it caused great seas to dry and turn into deserted fields.

Numerous creatures that lived in the ancient and desolate era roared, it was as if they had all come back to life, focusing their attacks on Xiao Chen.

"This is the omen of the human race’s destiny, a manifestation that occurred when a tribe is establishing its destiny. It’s a phenomenon intended to stop the warrior from climbing the Heavenly Ladder!"

On the viewing platform that stood hundreds of feet away, Tai Shi Gong had even stood up in excitement, seemingly wanting to rush forward to replace Xiao Chen and experience the human race’s destiny himself.

Boom!

The waves of energy rolled around, the purple waves kept exploding like a roaring tide. Within the purple haze, there were phantoms of a phoenix and a dragon, intertwining, seeming wanting to swallow Xiao Chen in one gulp and burn him down to ashes. At this moment, all the people’s hearts and minds were focused on Xiao Chen’s predicament; their eyes never left the green figure.

In the hearts of the members of the Gu Yuan Tribe, this green figure was their sky, the backbone of the entire tribe, an existence that could single-handedly prevent disaster. But now, amidst the surging purple aura, he was like a solitary boat in the ocean, yet also a boulder that faced the heavy storm unmovingly.

Whisper Whisper Whisper!

The melodies of dragons and phoenixes echoed into Xiao Chen’s ears, as loud as a bell. A deep sense of authority was transmitted invisibly between heaven and earth, hitting Xiao Chen as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, as if it was trying to make him fall off the altar.

"This is a test laid down by the human race in order to climb the sacrificial altar!"

A thought appeared in Xiao Chen’s mind. Given his current situation, according to the scriptures he had received from the Purple Snake Venerable, it was an examination regarding destiny. If he failed the examination and did not reach the top of the Heavenly Ladder, it must be considered that the Gu Yuan Tribe’s establishment of destiny has ended in failure. Not only that, but they would also suffer from the backlash of the tribe’s destiny, leading to the extinction of the tribe.

In Xiao Chen’s feeling, a kind of aura, that was all-embracing yet domineering marched into his soul. This aura was profound and majestic, as old as the ancient desolate era and conveyed a sense of vicissitudes. It seemed to cross endless time and space to come here.

From the moment he stepped onto the sacrificial altar, the human race’s test had began. This infinite aura, with each step upwards, increased.

The dazzling phoenix, appearing both illusory and real, spat out flames that managed to penetrate into Xiao Chen’s body, causing burning sensations deep down in his soul. These were the phoenix’s flames that could burn the soul.

The giant dragon kept roaring, transforming its roar into invisible fluctuations that penetrated his body, reaching deep into his soul, irritating Xiao Chen’s mind, causing him to have illusions of falling from the high platform.

Step Step Step!

The divine dragon was roaring, the divine phoenix was dancing wildly, and a cyan-purple glow erupted from Xiao Chen’s body. In the sky above the mountain city, the several feet thick destiny pillar formed by the members of the tribe began to continuously seep into Xiao Chen’s body. This was the collective power of the whole Gu Yuan Tribe. At this moment, the entire tribe stood together!

On the ground below the Heavenly Ladder, all the members of the tribe unconsciously tensed up, constantly praying in their hearts.

The three elders stood closest to the sacrificial altar, also clenching their fists tight. They understood what the phenomenon meant - climbing the Heavenly Ladder was a gateway, a proof that the tribe had the qualifications to draw down the destiny of the clan.

In this wilderness, through the ages, a considerable number of human tribes had established their destinies. However, only one in ten could pass the clan’s test. Many human tribes possessed the secret method for setting up a destiny-bearing clan, the sacred gold to create a clan artifact, and even built the Heavenly Ladder, most were forcibly pushed down by the rolling waves of the human race’s destiny in the course of climbing the Ladder.

There were even some who directly fell from the Heavenly Ladder and were smashed to pieces on the ground.

Boom!

Xiao Chen had already made his way up to the first level of the Heavenly Ladder. The instant he stepped forward, the entire Heavenly Ladder started to tremble, the dense purple aura even began to transform into black. An indescribable terrifying pressure once again descended upon him.

At this moment, he felt an indescribable will sweeping over him. Under this will, he felt like his whole person was being thoroughly examined, leaving no secrets hidden.

"The will of the Clan!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen affirmed more than ever that the destiny condensed by the human race truly constitutes life, otherwise, how could it give birth to will.

Since ancient times, the human race had proliferated in the great wastelands, it seemed that this will had existed indefinitely, as long as the human race kept proliferating, it could exist forever. Could this be counted as a kind of immortality, another way of eternal life?

"No matter what the test of the tribal will is, today the Gu Yuan Tribe will set up its destiny. Nothing can stop us. The Gu Yuan Tribe will rule the world and dominate the four corners of the universe!"

Two bright lights burst from Xiao Chen’s eyes. Even if there were invisible mountains crushing him, and each step felt like moving mountains and rivers, causing tremors.

But no matter how fierce the surging tide was, his entire body stood firmly on the steps, immovable like a mountain.
