Chapter 809: Chapter 809: Both Have a Killing Intent, Fierce Battle

At this moment, Lin Chen was merely a thousand zhang behind Li Chu. Under normal circumstances, such a distance could be covered in an instant.

However, on the eighteenth Heavenly Ladder, imbued with the Power of the Five Elements, the five forces, generating and overcoming each other, filled this ladder with a terrifying oppression, making each step forward extremely difficult.

The disheveled state of Li Chu at this moment was proof enough that this ladder was not to be taken lightly.

At the very front of this ladder, there were twelve steps and at the very top, there was a portal.

Obviously, reaching the front end of this ladder, ascending those twelve steps, and entering the portal would mean completing this trial. The victor would become the true and sole Inheritor of the Descending Heaven Hall, the new master here.

Li Chu had already noticed Lin Chen’s approach. His fists clenched tightly, his eyes filled with hatred towards Lin Chen.

Every time he encountered Lin Chen, he would ruin his plans. He couldn’t understand how Lin Chen, with only the First Layer of Cultivation in the Heavenly Human Realm, could have reached the eighteenth Heavenly Ladder.

He, relying on his Fifth Layer of Cultivation in the Heavenly Human Realm and the Source of Demon Blood granted by the ancestor of Red Soul Hall, could only reach this place with the help of Demon Blood Power. On what basis could Lin Chen also arrive here?

"Lin Chen!"

Li Chu stared at Lin Chen, grinding his teeth, wishing he could tear Lin Chen into a million pieces.

However, facing Li Chu’s strong desire to kill, Lin Chen merely sneered coldly. Li Chu wanted to kill him, and he was just as eager to remove Li Chu. Between them, it was destined that only one could live.

Now, Li Chu was not far from the front end of the ladder. Although his Yin Sha Power was about to be exhausted, if he could make it to the front, climb those steps, pass through the portal, then he would become the Inheritor of the Descending Heaven Hall.

Lin Chen could not let Li Chu succeed. Now was not the time to settle scores with Li Chu. Lin Chen had to speed up, reach the front, pass the trial, and become the Inheritor.

Thinking this, Lin Chen hastened his steps and moved rapidly forward. Lin Chen, who had mastered the true intent of eight powers, faced the conflicting forces of the Five Elements on this ladder but could not be hindered.

"How... how is this possible! You are actually unaffected by this place."

Li Chu uttered in surprise as he watched Lin Chen advance with ease. He had been trapped on this ladder for who knows how long, probably about half a year. Yet Lin Chen was rapidly closing the distance.

Murderous intent filled Li Chu’s eyes as he halted his steps and began to gather his power, deciding to give up advancing and wait for Lin Chen to come to him before settling the score.

About half an hour later, Lin Chen traversed the distance that took Li Chu half a year to cover, reaching beside Li Chu, standing shoulder to shoulder, less than a zhang apart.

"Lin Chen, I never thought you, a piece of trash, could also make it here."

"But since you’ve come today, you might as well stay forever."

Li Chu said with a cold laugh, then released the power he had gathered in his hands, launching it violently towards Lin Chen.

Faced with Li Chu’s palm wind filled with blood-red power, Lin Chen dared not be careless. He had guessed that Li Chu stopped to await his approach, intending to kill him. Lin Chen, too, was determined to put an end to their conflict.

In the last half an hour, if Li Chu had quickened his pace, passed the steps in front, reached the portal, and became the Inheritor, he might have used the status of the Inheritor to call upon the power of this place to eliminate Lin Chen.

But now, Li Chu had lost that opportunity.

Li Chu’s power was indeed strange and formidable, but for Lin Chen, it was not an invincible threat. Lin Chen gathered the True Intent Power of gold and earth, and with a punch met Li Chu’s palm wind.

Boom——

A powerful wave of force erupted between the two, shaking them back dozens of zhang each, nearly falling from the eighteenth Heavenly Ladder.

It should be noted that in this space, one cannot fly, and the ladders connect segment by segment, with the eighteenth being the shortest.

If they fell from the ladder, they could not continue to fly upwards, but would need to return to the place where they entered this space and climb each ladder again, wasting a lot of time.

The two steadied themselves, Li Chu shocked beyond measure.

He could not understand how Lin Chen, with much lower Cultivation than his, could stand up to him head-on.

Moreover, within Lin Chen’s punch, Li Chu felt a familiar aura — the True Meaning of Earth and the True Meaning of Gold, two great defensive mysteries of the Five Elements.

Could it be that Lin Chen comprehended the mysteries of true intent while climbing the ladders in this space?

At this thought, Li Chu clenched his fists tight, because Lin Chen’s display of strength was undoubtedly an overwhelming pressure against his own Talent.

Had it not been for that drop of the Source of Demon Blood granted by the ancestor of Red Soul Hall, Li Chu absolutely couldn’t have reached the eighteenth ladder.

He refused to admit defeat! As long as he killed Lin Chen, eradicated this genius, then Lin Chen would be defeated by him.

With this in mind, Li Chu bit his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of fresh blood, and again operated his Yin Sha Power, which erupted several times more ferociously, producing two blood-red threads of power from his hands, writhing towards Lin Chen.

This was a common Killing Move of Red Soul Hall, the Soul Binding Seal.

"Heh, you think you can bind me with that."

Lin Chen watched the sudden outburst of Yin Sha Power from Li Chu, sneered, and with a flick of his hand, a green, faint Flame appeared in his palm.

Once infused with Spiritual Power, the Green Lotus Divine Fire Lotus Flower began to spin. Lin Chen did not throw the flame in his hand after Refining it but raised his palm in front of him, chanting a Magic Technique.

The next moment, the lotus transformed into numerous petals, scattering and forming a Sea of Fire, encasing Lin Chen within it.

The flame spread, engulfing Li Chu as well.

Seeing this, Li Chu’s expression changed, and he quickly condensed a cloud of Blood Mist to shield himself. He widened his eyes, looking at Lin Chen in disbelief, and stammered, "Fire... Fire Domain!"
