Chapter 418: Battle of the Ladder (1)
On the Linjia Heavenly Ladder, Shangguan Xiaoyao had already climbed to the ninety-ninth floor at this time.
The coercion on the ninety-ninth layer was nearly ten times stronger than that of the first layer. The soul impact was still useless to Shangguan Xiaoyao, but the pressure of the unicorn coercion on the body made Shangguan Xiaoyao have to stop temporarily.
Even with the reinforcement of the "Immortal Sutra", Shangguan Xiaoyao still felt struggling on the first floor. If you don't fully adapt to the qilin coercion on this layer, if you rashly climb to the hundredth layer, you are likely to be directly blown away by the sudden outbreak of qilin coercion!
"My physical strength is much stronger than those geniuses at the ninefold peak of the King Realm, even the powerhouses of the ninefold peak of the Emperor Realm are much weaker than me!" Shangguan Xiaoyao secretly wondered in his heart: "I have been so struggling at this ninety-ninth layer, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand at all!"
With such a strong coercion, how could those strong people who had not cultivated the "Immortal Sutra" be able to withstand it?
However, what Shangguan Xiaoyao didn't know was that the people who had climbed the scale armor ladder from the major forces began to mobilize the yuan power in their bodies to cooperate with their body strength to fight against coercion as early as around the fiftieth floor, so that they could stand firm on the Linjia ladder. Like Shangguan Xiaoyao, who can still rely on the power of his body to resist the coercion of the unicorn after the fiftieth layer, there is not even half of it!
Behind Shangguan Xiaoyao, the highest to climb was an old man at the peak of the Nine Layers of the Imperial Realm of the Great Jin Empire, who had already stayed on the seventy-ninth layer for ten breaths. Outside of this old man's body, countless green air currents were slightly surrounded, which was the unique wood Yuan Force of the Great Jin Empire.
With the assistance of this life force, the old man's trembling muscles slowly calmed down, and the pure spiritual power in the meridians in his body slowly flowed, resisting the Qilin power steadily. It wasn't until the muscles of the whole body stopped trembling and the physical state returned to the peak that I cautiously climbed to the eightieth floor!
Every ten layers, the Qilin coercion would suddenly erupt, and the old man was obviously already prepared. After he ascended to the eightieth floor, his legs immediately squatted slightly, his arms spread out at his sides, and the green air flow around his body suddenly increased his speed, and his body stood firmly.
Under the pressure of the unicorn, the old man's nostrils saw blood, and the corners of his mouth also overflowed with blood. However, what the Great Jin Empire's wood system Yuan Li is best at is repairing injuries, and after dozens of breaths, the old man's body slowly stood up straight, and the breath on his body gradually stabilized.
"Whew!" the old man exhaled a breath of turbidity and looked up at the top of the Linjia Ladder. I saw that Shangguan Xiaoyao's figure was slightly blurred in the golden light of ten thousand daos, and the location where Shangguan Xiaoyao was at the moment was the hundredth layer of the Linjia Heavenly Ladder!
On the ground, the people who had not climbed the ladder of the major forces watched Shangguan Xiaoyao sit cross-legged on the hundredth floor of the ladder, and a big stone in his heart finally landed.
"Finally stopped, I thought he could keep walking up!" In the direction of the Dayu Empire, a Ninefold Peak Martial Artist of the Imperial Realm raised his hand and patted his chest, and said: "This kid doesn't know how long he will stay on the hundred floors, I think everyone should hurry up and climb the ladder without further ado!"
Yu Jiujie, who was standing in front of everyone, frowned slightly, nodded lightly, and said, "What Elder Bajing said is good, this Linjia Heavenly Ladder has as many as 10,000 steps, and the time required to reach the top must not be short. Although our Dayu Empire has a deep heritage, it should not be delayed for too long, so let's leave now!"
Yu Jiujie's voice fell, and several people behind him responded at the same time. Except for a few people who had already climbed the ladder before, everyone walked towards the Linjia Ladder at the same time.
Seeing Yu Jiujie leaving, the people of the Great Jin Empire, who were allies, naturally could not lag behind. Under the leadership of Jin Qingyang and Jin Wenque, the masters of the Great Jin Empire also began to climb the ladder.
Xia Xuanming and others of the Great Xia Empire followed closely behind, and they all gathered their breath and climbed the Linjia Heavenly Ladder.
During the casual practice, some people hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped before this ladder. Their strength is limited, and they know that even if they climb the ladder, they may not be able to stand out from so many strong people. Instead of fighting for the inheritance of the Cliffless Martial Saint with all his life, it is better to watch from the wall, if it is a coincidence, it may be possible to reap the benefits of the fisherman!
It wasn't just the scattered cultivators who had this idea, all the imperial forces had left at least one or two King Realm geniuses and one Emperor Realm Ninefold Peak Master.
Competing for the inheritance of the Cliffless Martial Saint, the people who make the shot are more expensive than many. If you come out of the nest and exhaust your physical strength on the ladder, even if you get the inheritance of the Cliffless Martial Saint in the end, you must have already exhausted your hole cards compared to that time! After all, the opponents are all strong, and even if the person who wins in the end has some advantages, he will inevitably be besieged by everyone when he escapes.
Leaving two or three strong people to recuperate and prepare for the last-minute response, in this way, it will be free from the hidden worry of not being able to continue, which is a more appropriate arrangement!
Just after Tiangang Zong Wei Shuangjue was the last to ascend the ladder, hundreds of streamers finally flew from the distant sky one after another, and landed in front of the Linjia Heavenly Ladder one after another.
For the thousands of strong people who suddenly appeared, whether it was someone who had already climbed the ladder or a person who stayed behind under the ladder, they were all secretly puzzled in their hearts. However, it has come to this point, and it is useless to think too much, everyone just keeps their minds, or continues to climb, or puts on a defensive posture and responds carefully.
Looking at the nearly 100 figures on the ladder, these thousand powerhouses first observed for a moment, and then regardless of the dozens of powerhouses who had been stationed here before, they rushed towards the ladder one after another!
And among these thousands of powerhouses, the more than ten people with the greatest courage did not start from the first layer of the ladder, but rushed directly to the hundredth floor where Shangguan Xiaoyao was!
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
On the top of the Linjia Heavenly Ladder, the Qilin Phantom roared, and the coercion suddenly descended! The thousand strong men who entered the secret realm later, without exception, were all blown out by heavy blasts! Those who climbed from the first layer were better, and their injuries were severe, but they did not die.
And the more than ten people who rushed to the hundredth layer of the Heavenly Ladder, whether they were masters of the King Realm or several of them were powerhouses of the Emperor Realm, all of them were directly shattered by the power of the Qilin. Whether it is the body armor or the space ring, all of them are shattered into a mass of scum, and they are definitely dead and can't die anymore.
Everyone turned over from the ground and sat up, some took out the pill and took it, and some meditated cross-legged to adjust the disordered breath in the body.
However, without exception, at this time, everyone looked at the Linjia Heavenly Ladder again, and there was no longer the previous contempt, but a cautious expression.
"The aura on their bodies is extremely restrained, and if they want to climb this ladder, it seems that they can't rely on brute force to break through!" Among the crowd, someone stood up first, looked at the Linjia ladder with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "We came much later than them, and the highest they climbed was only on the hundredth floor. It seems that the time required for each level of climbing is not too short. ”
Being able to cultivate to the King Realm or the Emperor Realm, everyone will naturally not be too stupid. After the previous failures, everyone understood under the reminder of this person.
After the state returned to the peak, someone finally shouted: "Let's also restrain our breath and slowly climb up from the first floor." Whoever can reach the top and obtain the Cliffless Martial Saint Inheritance depends on their respective creations!"
This person's voice fell, and everyone responded one after another. Although they belonged to different empires, they did not come on the orders of the empire, but on their own initiative. Compared with the major imperial forces that entered before, these thousands of scattered cultivators have become the most powerful side in terms of overall strength.
However, compared with the major imperial powers, although they are numerous, they are unevenly matched. The weakest is naturally the strength of the ninefold peak of the King Realm, but not all of the powerhouses of the Imperial Realm are the ninefold peaks, among which there are many powerhouses of the Fifth or Sixth or Seven or Eight Levels of the Imperial Realm.
"A rabble, no matter how many people there are, it's just a plate of loose sand!" Looking at the thousands of powerhouses under the ladder, although Shangguan Xiaoyao had doubts in his heart, the Cliffless Martial Saint had never played cards according to the routine, and it was not too surprising that this situation occurred.
Don't look at more than a thousand people, it seems to be a lot, among them, I am afraid that there will be no more than thirty percent of those who really have the strength to climb to the top of the ladder! The vast majority of people will be eliminated by this Linjia Heavenly Ladder, and the one who finally arrives at the Inheritance Temple is the one who is qualified to touch the inheritance of the Cliffless Martial Saint!
And for Shangguan Xiaoyao, except for the few super geniuses and the Tianyin Holy Land Descendant Yin Tianqing who has not yet appeared, no matter how many others there are, it is meaningless!
Sitting upright on the hundredth floor for a long time, Shangguan Xiaoyao finally completely adapted to the coercion of the unicorn on this layer. Standing up and standing for a while, Shangguan Xiaoyao finally set off again and climbed to the one hundred and first floor of the Linjia Heavenly Ladder!
On the ladder, thousands of strong people have begun to climb, the stronger ones stay on each step for a breath and continue to rise, while the weaker ones often need two or even three breaths. However, below the 50th floor, no matter how strong or weak, you can climb it smoothly.
There are also some people who have discovered the benefits of the Linjia Ladder and deliberately extended the time spent on each step to get the most out of themselves.
The coercion of the unicorn that can make the body stronger cannot be found outside the secret realm of no cliff! The smart people among the thousands of strong people will naturally not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Xia Xuanming, Shang Wuxing, Yu Jiujie and the others had already ascended to the ninety-ninth layer at this time, although their apparent strength was only the ninefold peak of the King Realm, but their real strength was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface! Moreover, as the supreme geniuses of the major emperor-level forces, although they did not have as perverted exercises as the cultivation of the Immortal Sutra, they also had their own uniqueness in cultivating their bodies.
True geniuses like them, no matter the Yuan Force, Body, or Soul, may not be too strong in a certain aspect, but they definitely don't have any obvious weaknesses!
