Chapter 451: Chapter 437: Passing the Test and Ascending to the Sky Terrace_1

Atop the high stage, Xiao Chen’s eyes were resolute, no matter what kind of illusions appeared before him, whether it was a mountain pressing down on his shoulder, or an invisible will enveloping his body, he was still unable to halt his steps from ascending the Heavenly Ladder.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

At this moment, he completely ignored the menacing roars of the giant dragon and phoenix that emerged from the purple haze before his eyes, as well as the Ancient Wild Beasts rampaging angrily, and carelessly dismissed the invisible thoughts.

Xiao Chen had already arrived at the third level of the Sacrificial Altar. The power exerted on him was increasing constantly. It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, seemingly crushing him to dust with every step forward.

Immediately after, a dazzling brilliance exploded from Xiao Chen’s body. His Bronze Battle Bones kept flashing with a green hue, thunderous reverberations emanated from within his body, pushing his physical body to its ultimate state - ascending towards heavens step by step.

Boom!

At this moment, standing on the third-level Heavenly Platform, each of Xiao Chen’s steps thundered like a giant treading upon the endless earth causing the boundless hills and wilderness within a thousand miles of the Gu Yuan Tribe to tremble violently.

Countless rivers and lakes, valleys, and ponds within the circumference of thousands of miles seemed to be set in motion by this invisible force, vibrating continuously. At this moment, the mountains were roaring, and the lake water was churning.

Amidst this trembling of mountains and rivers, Xiao Chen had stepped onto the fourth-level Heavenly Platform.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Seeing that Xiao Chen had not been driven off the Heavenly Platform, the invisible will became enraged. Between heaven and earth, thunder surged immediately. Countless clouds of deep purple vapor rolled and surged, and within the mist, the Giant Dragon and Phoenix roared endlessly. This time, they directly crashed towards Xiao Chen’s body.

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s entire body was on the edge of the fifth-level Heavenly Platform. This divine beast that lived in the Ancient Wild era was coming straight at him. In front of these huge divine beasts, Xiao Chen’s body seemed so tiny, like an ant.

The Giant Dragon and Phoenix, the exotic beasts of the Ancient Wilderness, were about to swallow this young man who dared to blaspheme the will of the human race.

"Bring it on!"

Xiao Chen gave a faint smile and roared out loud. Arriving at the top of this Sacrificial Altar had brought him to the doorstep of gaining approval from the Human Race Group.

So what if they were the Giant Dragon and Phoenix, or Ancient Wild Beasts? Each of these divine beasts could be called legends. During the age in which they lived - the Wild era, they could even be termed as gods.

So what, this is no longer the Desolate Land of the ancient times, this is the Human World which has endured countless millennia. Since the divine beasts are now mythical legends, what is to be feared!

"No matter how daunting your Divine Might may be, I will remain undaunted!"

Facing the oncoming Giant Dragon and Phoenix, Xiao Chen did not hesitate in the slightest. He took his final step forward, preparing to ascend the last Heavenly Ladder.

The next moment, the Giant Dragon roared out, the Phoenix spread its wings, the flames scorched the sky, and the Desolate Divine Beasts roared, rampaging through the Vault of Heaven, as they rushed towards Xiao Chen, swiftly passing straight through him.

With profound mysteries and good fortune, each of the illusory divine beasts manifested was incredibly lifelike, even the small scales in the corners were not missed. Such might, if faced by one with a faint heart and feeble mind, would be enough to terrify them, causing them to fall backward, tumbling off the Heavenly Platform.

However, Xiao Chen’s expression was calm, his eyes steadfast, his will unwavering, no matter how fiercely the divine beasts roared before him, if they swallowed him, they would be gulping down not his body but his spiritual will.

These illusory divine beasts phased directly through him, all the while attacking his soul deep within. His soul was boundless, and these illusory dragons and phoenixes, ten thousand feet tall with overwhelming divine might, were battering his spirit.

Xiao Chen’s eyes remained firm as always, without a hint of perturbation. Largely unaffected by the roaring divine beasts before him, he unflinchingly stepped upon the very top of the fifth-level Heavenly Ladder.

In the centre of the fifth-level Sacrificial Altar, a gigantic bronze cauldron stood resolutely. It radiated a profound sense of the Wilderness. At this moment, this mighty bronze cauldron sparkled with an unfading bronze radiance, within which a silhouette of Ying Long seemed to constantly stir and churn.

"Success! He made it! He reached the top of the Sacrificial Altar!"

"Our Clan Leader managed to ascend the Heavenly Ladder, passing the trial of the Human Race Group. Our Gu Yuan Tribe has earned the privilege to usher in the fortunes of the human race, and forge our Tribe’s destiny!"

Seeing Xiao Chen finally set foot on the apex of the fifth-tier Heavenly Ladder, all of the Tribe People erupted in jubulant cheers. The three Elders, despite maintaining their dignified expressions, couldn’t help but share their excitement and suppressed anticipation.

What?!

"That’s Heavenly Power!"

"It’s impossible! Clan Leader Xiao Chen actually succeeded. Those are the illusory projections of the ancient giant dragon and divine phoenix manifested by our Human Race Group! Even though they’re mere illusions, how can a mere Blood Refining Realm Warrior withstand them!"

"Exactly! The Ancient Desolate Divine Beasts, each of them is a legend, and even today they are comparable to the supreme rulers of the human race. They are real deities, even the human rulers are mere ants before them. Even as illusions, these divine beings should not within the realm of a Blood Refining Realm Warrior’s resistance!"

"Does it mean that the Gu Yuan Tribe is fated to rule?! Are we of the Battle Division destined to bow under Gu Yuan’s feet, to be at their beck and call, and make tributes to them year after year?"

At this moment, disbelief filled everyone’s eyes. Above the Sacrificial Altar, countless dragon and phoenix silhouettes filled the sky. Their divine might was as oppressive as a prison, forcing all the observers down below to be practically short of breath. Each of them was immobilized by such overwhelming pressure. But in the centre of the storm, Xiao Chen, had managed to pave his own path.

"Could it be that the Human Race Group intentionally went easy on him?"

Some warriors harbored this ridiculous notion in their hearts, attempting to soothe themselves. However, they themselves could not be convinced by such a reason. The human fortunes, the collective will of the Human Race Group, are most pure. They can be said to be the rules formed by the human race since time immemorial.

Finally, one of the warriors came to a realization, looking eagerly at an old man beside him. He said, "Tai Shi Gong, is the trial of the Human Race Group’s will truly that simple?"

"Simple!"

A sneer flashed across the corner of the old man’s mouth. Since all the Clan Leaders here reckon the trial of the Human Race Group’s will as simple, then why don’t they lead their tribes to forge their own destiny, rather than humbly remain under the feet of other tribes with impure hearts?"

Without waiting for a retort from the warriors, Tai Shi Gong retorted, "The will of the race is the most fair and impartial, representing the rules of the Human Race Group’s fortunes. Your opposition to the will of the race is utterly sinful!"

Tai Shi Gong’s words gave no face to these people. Those who are involved are often biased while observers are clearer about the situation. What these Clan Leaders and Elders were thinking, how could he not guess? Deep down, they still harbored an unrealistic fantasy that the Gu Yuan Tribe could not truly forge its own destiny.
