Chapter 508

The Enraged Artifact Spirit

The bright moon hung in the sky and the stars shone brightly. The night of Zhong Ling Mountain was exceptionally cold and lonely. Although there was a bright moon above the dense fog, it appeared hazy and distant under the cover of the fog.

Roar! Roar!

The invisible sound wave spread throughout the entire Zhong Ling Mountain. It was as though it had substance, causing the enormous Zhong Ling Mountain to tremble. The pressure within the mountain was actually many times stronger than during the day under the influence of this beast roar.

"This Zhong Ling Mountain is really strange!

At night, the pressure becomes so terrifying. It's much stronger than during the day!

Looks like it's best not to walk at night. "

Qin Batian, who was ranked fifth, started to tremble under the pressure of the night. At this moment, he had already reached the 650th step and was already somewhat fatigued. Now that the pressure of the night had increased by several folds, Qin Batian was naturally unable to withstand it.

Plop!

Sitting on the steps, Qin Batian panted heavily as he grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Damn it!

This Xu Tianliang is really going all out. Every time, he's ten steps higher than me! "

Looking at the number of steps of Xu Tianliang, who was ranked fourth, Qin Batian was instantly unhappy. Originally, he was ranked fourth, but for some unknown reason, he was suddenly surpassed by Xu Tianliang.

Furthermore, no matter how hard he tried to catch up, Xu Tianliang would always be ten steps higher than him. This result caused Qin Batian to grit his teeth. One must know that in terms of strength, Qin Batian did not lose to Xu Tianliang. Now that his ranking was lower than the former, with Qin Batian's pride, he naturally could not bear it.

At this moment, Xu Tianliang had also stopped at the 650th step. Clearly, he did not intend to walk at night. After all, the pressure during the night was much more terrifying. Continuing to climb up was undoubtedly foolish.

When night fell, all the warriors on Zhong Ling Mountain stopped moving. They all planned to consolidate their cultivation on this night where the pressure was multiplied. Some warriors with good perception even broke through under the pressure.

Of course, such cases of sudden breakthroughs were naturally very rare. However, it was not like most cultivators did not gain anything. Under the effect of the pressure, their strength had an invisible increase.

"Luo Xing and Zhu Chi have also stopped. It seems that they have also felt the pressure of traveling at night."

After skimming past Xu Tianliang's name, Qin Batian's gaze landed on the top two names, Luo Xing and Zhu Chi. Lightly sighing, he had thought that the two of them would still travel at night like they did a few days ago. If that was the case, the gap between them would be greatly widened.

However, when Qin Batian's gaze landed on the first name, a bitter smile unconsciously appeared on his face. He shook his head and said, "Lv Yitao is really strong and willing to go all out. Even at night, he is still moving steadily up Zhong Ling Mountain. I really don't know what his limit is."

Lv Yitao was indeed arrogant enough, even somewhat conceited. For the past four days, Lv Yitao had not stopped at all. Regardless of whether it was day or night, he had always walked towards the peak of Zhong Ling Mountain in a very regular manner.

At the beginning, the other four geniuses naturally did not want to be outdone. They followed Lv Yitao and continued to climb Zhong Ling Mountain. This was also the reason why the five geniuses had pulled apart such a large distance from the rest of the geniuses.

However, as the pressure on Zhong Ling Mountain became increasingly terrifying, Xu Tianliang and Qin Batian gave up on traveling at night after a day. They were very clear that if they continued to follow Lv Yitao, they would probably be eliminated by the pressure in advance.

Two days later, Zhu Chi also gave up on traveling at night. Three days later, even Luo Xing gave up on this action.

However, it was now the fourth day, and Lv Yitao was still moving alone. He simply did not place the pressure in his eyes as he continued to climb towards the peak without stopping for a single moment.

Such courage and strength had practically caused the other four geniuses to feel despair. They finally knew how unfathomable Lv Yitao's strength was. At this moment, the gap between them and Lv Yitao was extremely obvious.

"Sigh!

What a monster.

Lv Yitao is already nearing the two-thousandth step. The pressure in that place is who knows how many times more terrifying than mine. To think that he can still continue to advance at night. "

Looking at the first light dot that was so far ahead in his identity token, Qin Batian really had the urge to curse in his heart.

"Forget about that monster Lv Yitao!

I'd better concentrate on resting and recuperating. Let's see if I can surpass that damned Xu Tianliang tomorrow. I'll already be very satisfied if I can surpass Xu Tianliang. "

After muttering a few more words, Qin Batian no longer spoke any more nonsense. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the steps and silently recuperated, properly preparing for tomorrow's journey.

Within Zhong Ling Mountain, aside from Lv Yitao, all the other cultivators had already sat on their respective steps to recuperate.

However, when they saw that Lv Yitao in the identity token was still climbing in the night, it naturally caused quite an uproar.

The pitch-black night was lonely and lonely. Under the hazy fog, the vast starry sky appeared bright and misty, mysterious and distant.

On the five-hundredth step, Zhuowen sat cross-legged, his entire body emitting a strange golden light. If one looked carefully, the tracks of the golden light were like the meridians in Zhuowen's body, covering his entire body.

This was an image produced by the combination of Mental Energy and meridians. Countless explosions continuously surged out from Zhuowen's body, as if countless bombs were exploding at the same time. It was extremely deafening.

Hu hu hu!

Slow and steady breaths constantly emitted from Zhuowen's nose. Slowly opening his eyes, Zhuowen's pupils were practically dyed with a dazzling golden light. It was much more dazzling than the previous dark golden light.

Boom!

A powerful and terrifying aura suddenly surged out from his body, directly covering Zhuowen's countless meridians in a golden light. In an instant, Zhuowen's entire body had turned into a golden man, appearing extremely dazzling and vast in the pitch-black night.

"In a day's time, I've broken through ninety meridians in my body. Now, I feel that my body is filled with boundless energy. This energy seems to be able to split mountains and split seas."

Looking at the densely packed golden meridians in his hands, Zhuowen smiled, then raised his head to the sky and laughed heartily. Just by breaking through ninety meridians in his body, Zhuowen discovered that his strength had increased by so much.

Just based on the strength of his body, he was probably able to withstand the full force attack of three Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators!

"Kid!

With the strength of your body, it shouldn't be a problem for you to pry open the steps below!

There's still a lot of Spirit Qi here, you've only absorbed a small portion in a day. "Xiao Hei suddenly spoke in his mind.

"Mm!"

Nodding fiercely, Zhuowen was filled with pride at this moment. He suddenly felt that this feeling of possessing great power was really wonderful. Only with enough strength could one grasp one's fate in one's own hands.

Boom!

His right hand, which was covered in golden meridians, formed a claw. His index finger and middle finger joined together to form a sword as he fiercely pressed them into the thumb-sized hole on the steps. With a low shout, countless rays of golden light burst forth, and a powerful energy flowed through the golden meridians and gathered in Zhuowen's fingers.

Bang!

The originally indestructible steps below had been torn apart by Zhuowen. The thumb-sized hole had now become a palm-sized hole.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! As soon as the palm-sized hole formed, countless wisps of blue mist-like Spirit Qi instantly gushed out at an astonishing speed.

Zhuowen stomped his foot and waved his right hand. Instantly, the gushing Spirit Qi endlessly flowed into Zhuowen's body. At an astonishing speed, the Spirit Qi transformed into powerful mental strength in his Niwan Palace, and the powerful mental strength spread throughout his meridians and acupoints.

"Ninety-first acupoint, break it for me!"

The mental strength surged through Zhuowen's body like a hurricane. In an instant, it had broken through the ninety-first acupoint, and the golden meridians on the surface of Zhuowen's body became even more solid and dazzling.

After breaking through the ninety-first acupoint, Zhuowen did not hesitate to use the endless stream of Spirit Qi to break through the next acupoints one by one.

Ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four … one hundred and five … one hundred and ten …

Zhuo Wen couldn't help but let out a long howl as he felt the acupoints in his body being continuously broken open and the feeling of being filled with power. This kind of power growth that could be seen with the naked eye seemed so wonderful at this moment!

"It's still not enough!

I still need more Spirit Qi. "

With a loud roar, Zhuowen's right hand, which was covered in a golden glow, slammed down. In an instant, the entire staircase under his feet was shattered into pieces. The gushing Spirit Qi became even more ferocious at this moment. It was like a landslide or a tsunami as it poured into Zhuowen's body without any regard for its life.

One hundred and ten … one hundred and twenty … one hundred and thirty … one hundred and forty … one hundred and fifty …

When Zhuowen broke through the one hundred and fiftieth acupoint, Zhong Lingshan seemed to feel the loss of Spirit Qi in his body. The incomparably huge body of the mountain shook violently. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains collapsed.

A powerful force gushed out from the broken staircase and heavily slammed into Zhuowen's body, who was constantly absorbing Spirit Qi.

"Hmm?"

Zhuowen seemed to have sensed something as he clenched his fists. Golden light flickered and meridians covered his body as he directly smashed into this force. Zhuowen groaned and took a few steps back. However, the powerful force also caused this strange force to retreat into the gap between the stairs.

As soon as this force retreated into the gap, the Spirit Qi that was originally gushing out immediately drilled back into Zhong Lingshan. In an instant, the Spirit Qi around Zhuowen completely disappeared.

"This … This …"

Feeling the instant disappearance of the Spirit Qi, Zhuowen could not help but be dumbfounded.

"You've absorbed too much Spirit Qi. The artifact spirit of Zhong Lingshan has already sensed the abnormality here, so it took the initiative to withdraw the Spirit Qi that was gushing out." Xiao Hei suddenly said.

"…" Zhuowen was speechless.

At this moment, Zhong Lingshan trembled once again. Moreover, as it continued to tremble, it faintly emitted a trace of anger and sorrow, as if someone had taken away its beloved object.
