Chapter 708: Chapter 694 Heavenly Ladder Derivation - Second Stage Assessment! (Please subscribe!)_1

Night falls, outside the eastern city wall of the entire Gu Yuan Tribe, for miles around, rows of stone houses stand undulating with the mountain ranges. Ten miles away, there are ten thousand iron-blooded warriors from the Gu Yuan Tribe standing guard.

"No one must take a life in their fight, and only same realm opponents are allowed to fight, anyone who violates this will be killed without pardon!"

Under the shroud of darkness, the figure of Wan Tianxing emerged amidst the gloom, his booming voice echoing across the wilderness.

The words of Wan Tianxing served as a signal, under the silent night, killing gradually rose.

Underneath an ancient mountain, in a stone house, a youth dressed in black sat cross-legged. He was refining a pill he had obtained from a secret realm. The black-clothed youth already possessed mid-phase Blood Refining Realm cultivation and unlocked five Heavenly Meridians.

At this moment he swallowed the pill, and immediately felt the rich medicinal power dissolving in his body. The massive medicinal power filled his Heavenly Meridians completely, even leaving a vast amount of medicinal power rolling towards his limbs.

Caught off-guard, the youth grunted, but he quickly adjusted his body, strenuously circulating his cultivation techniques, refining the massive medicinal power within his body. Even so, there was still a large amount of medicinal power dissipating outside of his body.

Boom!

Finally, the medicinal power accumulated in the youth’s body reached its peak. Like a wild tide, it rushed towards the barrier of the sixth Heavenly Meridian. The airflow mixed with violence, in an instant, busted the barrier of the meridian into shambles, and strong blood Qi immediately rushed into the sixth meridian.

"Phew!"

The youth opened his eyes, a trace of joy appeared in his eyes. He had now opened his body’s sixth meridian, advancing to the peak of the mid-phase Blood Refining Realm.

However, the next moment, the joy in the youth’s eyes slowly disappeared, then he murmured to himself.

"It’s a pity my cultivation technique’s quality is too low, it’s just a top-tier human-grade cultivation technique. If I had an Earth tier cultivation technique, I wouldn’t have wasted so much medicinal power. Perhaps with this one pill, I could have advanced to the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm!"

His pupils briefly reflected regret, then sparkled again, as if he had thought of something, his eyes gradually hardened.

"Hm!"

At this moment, the youth’s eyes shot out the door. In his Soul Perception, two figures came and hid about thirty yards from his stone house, seemingly observing him.

He was born with a strong spirit. The moves of the two outside the stone house were fully exposed under his perception. Although he was only at the mid-phase of the Blood Refining Realm, his mental will had already reached the perfection of the Blood Refining Realm, and his spirit was even more unique.

Corner of his mouth flashing a cold sneer, the youth’s figure gradually became illusory, and in the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared from the stone house.

Boom!

The two figures outside the door rushed into the stone house at the same time, but the next moment, they were stunned because there was no one in the stone house.

Bang bang!

After two soft noises, the two figures that entered the stone house were knocked out, seriously injured and fell to the ground, then the figure of the youth reappeared in the stone house.

"You’re lucky. If it wasn’t for the ban on killing, you would have entered the netherworld by now!"

The eyes of the black-clothed youth flashed with a murderous intent. Suddenly feeling that people were surrounding his stone house again, he withdrew the gleam in his eyes, his figure once again became illusory, merging into the night.

If Xiao Chen were here, he would certainly find that the technique this youth used was not a fleeing technique, but a talent pertaining to the spirit, adding the Soul Power, the figure of the warrior could be undetected, and even his aura dissipated.

Boom!

With a booming noise, blood qi filled the air, and several figures were directly blasted more than ten yards away from the stone house, their bones clashing and breaking, a figure emitting a strong smell of blood, strutted out from the dust, completely ignoring the eyes around him.

At the same time, in a stone house not far away, a youth likewise knocked a warrior who came to sneak attack out of the stone house, the eyes of the two youths met each other, each flashing a trace of fighting will. However, they immediately concealed their own auras and returned to their respective stone houses.

It was precisely Long Tian and Kun Peng, their violent strength immediately deterred the warriors around them who were eager to steal tokens, and they all stopped.

During the three days, the war masters from the Gu Yuan Tribe set up numerous houses within several miles, and tens of thousands of younger warriors, in the meandering low hills spreading for several miles, began a fierce looting.

Whether it was a frontal battle or a conspiracy, the bronze tokens were everyone’s targets as they represented the qualifications for participating in the second round of the War God Temple’s assessment.

Mighty Tower Realm Wu Experts from the Gu Yuan Tribe kept patrolling, and the many young warriors dared not cross the thunder pool, and when they fought each other, there was no life and death fight.

Nevertheless, in just three days, there were as many as twenty thousand warriors seriously injured, among them were warriors who failed the first round and those who passed the first round but were unable to protect their tokens.

Three days later, at the break of dawn, the loud horn sounded again. There were already more than twenty thousand young warriors in front of the houses stretching for miles, each of them holding a bronze token tightly in their hands.

Boom!

All at once, above the sky vault, thunder blasted again. This time thunder was like a sea, continuously rolling, shaking the whole heaven and earth, even all the warriors felt the earth trembling at this moment.

In the midst of the thunderclap, the void vibrated, and an indescribable terrible pressure swept over like a tidal wave. Everyone’s breath became heavy, as if they were facing an ancient divine mountain.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sound of the void barrier shattering echoed out. A black dot appeared in the sky vault above, signifying a crack in space. Then, before anyone could react, the void fractured inch by inch like a spider’s web.

The sky was rupturing!

A curved, winding crack tore open the entire void.

"Could the second test still be a secret realm?" At this moment, all the young warriors couldn’t help but think this.

However, the next moment, above the void, they saw an unforgettable sight. Beneath the fragments of the infinite void, a golden figure, surrounded by golden light and more than fifty feet in size, stood with his hands raised to the sky.

"Mister Xiao!"

With his arms raised to the sky and the ancient mountain’s half-shadow appeared, this sight caused the hearts of countless warriors to surge. The power to hold up a mountain was truly shocking.

Finally, a giant ancient mountain, thousands of feet tall, appeared in front of everyone. The mountain was pitch-black and smooth as a mirror, but steps were carved onto it.

For every unit the ancient mountain descended, the pressure everyone felt increased proportionally. At this moment, in their eyes, this mountain was heaven and earth. It shook everyone’s soul as it oppressed them, causing the air to stagnate and their breaths to choke off. They were immobilized, feeling the ancient aura emanating from the mountain.

"Where on earth is this ancient mountain from? Just this aura alone makes us feel helpless to resist!"

"Such an ancient aura, even those ancient mountains in the depths of the Great Wasteland cannot radiate such an aura!"

At this moment, whether it was the young warriors participating in the trial or the tribal chiefs and elders who had come to witness the ceremony, everyone looked up, their eyes full of shock.

Unlike those young warriors, they could see how extraordinary this ancient mountain was.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the ancient mountain landed, it seemed as if the whole earth was shaking. This mountain, towering twelve hundred feet high and covering an area of seven or eight thousand square feet, weighed millions of pounds. However, with Xiao Chen’s current strength, he couldn’t possibly hold it. This feat was thanks to the help of Luli.

This mountain was a small part of the Wild Mountain Range, which they had purposely isolated. Moreover, the gravitational pressure it exerted was especially suitable for martial artists below the Massive Tower Realm, providing significant benefits.

Xiao Chen purposely carved nine hundred ninety-nine steps on the mountain, which extended from the foot of the mountain to the peak. On top of the mountain, there was a platform. Xiao Chen even left some opportunities for advancement at the peak of the mountain. Those who could reach the top would naturally be able to take advantage of this.

Standing on the mountain peak, Xiao Chen looked down at the people below, insignificant as flies. But for martial artists, such a distance was nothing.

"This ancient mountain was obtained when I accidentally broke into the depths of the void world and entered a peculiar space. It has been drifting in the void world since the Desolate Era. It has a natural gravitational field, which naturally suppresses martial artists!"

In a short while, various tribal chiefs and elders also came to the platform at the top of the ancient mountain. As mighty Tower Realm warriors, although this ancient mountain had a gravity suppression effect, it meant nothing to them.

However, some of the weaker Tower Realm martial artists with unstable physical strength turned red when they came to the mountain. They were obviously under some pressure.

"By the order of the chief, the second assessment of the War God Temple is presided over by me!"

Shortly after Xiao Chen signaled, Wan Tianxing stood in the void and shouted to the martial artists below.

"This Wild Ancient Mountain has nine hundred ninety-nine Heavenly Ladder steps, corresponding to warriors of the Bone-Tempering Realm early stage all the way to the Near Layered Tower Realm. Every time you climb a step of the Heavenly Ladder, the gravitational pressure you experience will increase!"

"There are nine hundred ninety-nine steps on the Heavenly Ladder. The first four hundred steps correspond to the Bone Tempering Realm, the middle four hundred to the Blood Refining Realm, and the final hundred steps to the Near Heavy Tower Realm martial artists. Those who can step onto the platform at the top of the mountain can earn the opportunity to advance to the rank of a Mighty Tower Realm warrior!"

What?!

"Opportunity to advance to the Tower Realm!"

This instantly caused a commotion among the martial artists below. In the hearts of most young martial artists, their dream was to advance to the Tower Realm and become a high-ranking warrior. As for reaching the level of respect, that was simply too far-fetched. Now, the opportunity to advance to the Tower Realm was placed in front of them, seemingly within reach!

"The War God Temple’s test treats everyone equally. Martial artists in different realms just need to climb to the step corresponding to their own realm to pass the test."

Regardless of the bustling discussion among the numerous warriors below, Wan Tianxing continued speaking.

"As long as you can climb to the step corresponding to your realm, you can pass the test. Isn’t the second test too easy?" The remark from Wan Tianxing sparked a lively debate among the young warriors below.

"Is it easy?" There were also warriors who, seeing the debate among the crowd, showed contempt in their eyes. If the Heavenly Ladder test was that simple, would there still be a need for a test?

"The second test of the War God Temple begins!"
