Chapter 1161: 520: Mysterious Ghost Domain! Cultivation breakthrough!_3

Level one hundred and thirty!

At this moment, Lanling’s bloodline seemed truly pushed to its limits, and the energy surging from deep within was unable to withstand the surrounding severe cold.

Lanling’s body began to stiffen and lose sensation.

Level one hundred and thirty-nine.

Finally, Lanling’s entire body lost all sensation and was completely frozen into an ice sculpture by the biting cold.

Then, his consciousness slowly faded away, eventually turning into darkness.

Once again, Lanling was dead!

...

After an unknown amount of time, Lanling awakened once more, revived again.

Then, he tested his arm strength again.

Previously, it was one thousand three hundred and thirty pounds, and this time... one thousand four hundred pounds!

He broke through again, becoming a one-star Demon Warrior!

He was overjoyed, calculating that even if he didn’t gain anything from the Demonic God Ruins, just climbing the steps and practicing at the Spring Door and Winter Door was enough to break through.

Excitedly, Lanling once again stepped into the Summer Door.

But...

He couldn’t enter; the Summer Door was closed, and no matter what he did, he couldn’t get in.

Then, he attempted the Winter Door.

The result was the same; he couldn’t get in.

For others, entering any of the doors meant death was final.

However, Lanling could revive, but unlimited trials were impossible, each door could be entered only once.

His heart suddenly became heavy!

Because his target was the top of the Pyramid, and there were only four doors in total.

He had already entered two doors, leaving two chances.

If he entered all four doors of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and ultimately failed, then not only could Lanling not reach the top of the tower, but he also wouldn’t have any chance of getting out; he’d be trapped here alive.

So for the next Spring Door and Autumn Door, how should he choose?

Lanling chose the Spring Door!

...

Entering the Spring Door!

Immediately, the sunshine was brilliant, the sky was blue, occasionally with a white cloud floating by.

The climate here was pleasant; the spring breeze was soothing, perfectly encapsulating the most beautiful spring.

Lanling looked up; at first, the steps were gray, then gradually turned white, after one hundred steps they turned green, increasingly green, so transparent it seemed.

And the mysterious glow atop the Pyramid seemed to transform into a dazzling, splendid flower.

Lanling began climbing the steps once again, level by level, with his target the top of the Pyramid.

Level ten, level twenty, level thirty...

No sensation at all?

Neither cold nor hot, the temperature remained comfortable.

The spring breeze was always gentle, neither increasing nor decreasing in force.

But after fifty levels, Lanling suddenly felt a slight itch on his body.

After level eighty, Lanling discovered a terrifying thing; his body seemed to be starting to decay.

It seemed as if countless bacteria, countless microorganisms were growing inside him.

After level one hundred, these bacteria and microorganisms became increasingly large, voraciously devouring Lanling’s flesh.

Every visible part of Lanling’s body was rotting.

His Golden Bloodline desperately released energy, trying to restore Lanling’s body, to fiercely protect his vitality.

After level one hundred and twenty-nine...

The devouring speed of countless microorganisms and bacteria far exceeded the recovery speed of the Golden Bloodline.

Lanling completely decayed, turning into a pile of sludge, sprawling on the steps.

Only then did Lanling remember why there were no corpses within the Spring Door.

Because all the corpses had decayed into ash, completely vanished!

This was indeed spring, where the unseen lethal threat was most terrifying.

Spring is the season of growth, so countless micro lifeforms took over Lanling’s body, turning it into their nourishment.

Lanling clearly felt his body rapidly decaying and then being devoured by countless disgusting creatures.

Gradually, his consciousness slipped into darkness.

Lanling died once more!

...

After an unknown amount of time, Lanling revived and awoke once again!

Then, Lanling couldn’t wait to test his arm strength.

The result was still that he could only lift a stone bar of one thousand four hundred pounds; there was no increase in strength or cultivation.

His stairway trial after entering the Spring Door did not elevate his cultivation.

As it turned out, the goal of climbing the stairs remained merely to reach the top of the Pyramid.

As for Lanling’s enhanced cultivation from stair climbing at the Summer Door and Winter Door, it was only due to the peculiarity of his own bloodline, not the inherent function of this Ghost Realm World.

This was not a trial secret realm at all; this was just a Ghost Domain!

In the Summer Door, he climbed one hundred and fifty-nine levels.

In the Winter Door, he climbed one hundred and thirty-nine levels.

In the Spring Door, he climbed one hundred and twenty-nine levels.

And there were tens of thousands of steps to the top of the Pyramid; he hadn’t even completed one percent.

Now, only one door remained in front of Lanling, the Autumn Door.

This was the final chance, and also the only chance!

Not only was it his only opportunity to reach the top of the Pyramid, but also the only chance to leave this world.
