Until.
His gaze fell on a young man, and his eyes suddenly revealed a touch of astonishment.
At that moment, Lu Yun seemed to detect that someone was observing him, and glanced into the void, seeing countless floating reefs and majestic, solemn buildings.
âDid I feel something wrong just now?â He withdrew his gaze with some doubt.
âYour Majesty, has something happened?â
These people had just sensed the emotions of the Yuan Emperor, as if some fluctuations had occurred.
As the First Individual in Morigin, the Yuan Emperorâs Martial Arts Realm and state of mind had reached an unfathomable level. They could not figure out who could possibly cause fluctuations in his state of mind.
âIâve found an interesting little fellow.â The Yuan Emperorâs face showed a mysterious smile.
âOh, to be called mysterious by His Majesty, does this person have more heavenly talent than Nangong Snow?â A middle-aged man behind the Yuan Emperor asked curiously while preparing to use his consciousness to search among the numerous Heavenly Prides gathered underneath the Heavenly Pride Stele.
The Yuan Emperor slightly raised his hand, stopping his action.
âThat little fellow is very alert. My investigation just now seemed to have been detected by him. Letâs not disturb him for now.â
Hearing this, the middle-aged man became even more astonished and curious.
What kind of Heavenly Pride could detect even the Yuan Emperorâs observation?
âEight hundred and ninety-nine feet.â
It was then that a Heavenly Pride suddenly exclaimed.
Eight hundred and ninety-nine feet, this had already left Ye Xingxuan far behind, and there was only a hundred feet left from the top of the Heavenly Pride Stele.
Soon, the Heavenly Prides discovered that when Nangong Xue reached the height of nine hundred feet on the Heavenly Pride Stele, the thunderbolts had already turned purple. The terrifying power contained within them sent chills down everyoneâs spines from a distance.
And Nangong Xue, after being struck by these terrifying thunderbolts, staggered for a moment, slowing down her pace.
âIt seems that Nine hundred and ten feet is about Nangong Xueâs limit.â A respected Celestial Human said from afar, with shining eyes.
Nangong Xueâs mouth corner showed a trace of blood, her beautiful eyes showing a resolute expression, as she stared at the tremendous pressure and continued to climb upwards.
Finally, she stopped after reaching nine hundred and twelve feet on the Heavenly Pride Stele, her delicate jade fingers moving swiftly.
âNangong Xue.â She wrote the three characters in one stroke, and then she felt all the pressure on her body vanish, even the terrifying thunderbolts that were constantly condensing overhead disappeared abruptly.
The three huge characters she left on the Heavenly Pride Stele were especially dazzling, surrounded by flashing runes, interwoven rules, clearly presenting themselves to everyoneâs eyes.
At the same time, Nangong Xue seemed to become an insurmountable mountain, lying across the hearts of all the Heavenly Prides.
They couldnât climb it or even come close.
Even Xiao Qingyu, who was at six hundred and thirty feet, was beyond anyoneâs reach.
That was until a red-haired young man appeared and broke the silence.
But even so, this red-haired young man could only leave his name at six hundred and twenty-five feet on the Heavenly Pride Stele.
After that, very few Heavenly Prides could leave their names above five hundred feet on the Heavenly Pride Stele.
As more and more Heavenly Prides left their names on the monument, one after another, low-profile Heavenly Prides gradually emerged. Although they were not as stunning as Ye Xingxuan and the others, they also sprinted to heights of five hundred and even six hundred feet.
âBrother Lu, shouldnât you hurry up?â Qin Feng, who was beside him, couldnât help but poke Lu Yunâs shoulder when he saw that Lu Yun had not moved.
Now, most of the first batch of Heavenly Prides that had passed the Ascension Steps and entered Sky Wall City had left their names on the Heavenly Pride Stele, except for Lu Yun and a few others.
Among them, the most striking one was undoubtedly Nangong Xue, who had her name engraved at nine hundred and twelve feet.
As for the worst, they only left their names at a height of a mere dozen feet on the Heavenly Pride Stele.
âAlright, Iâll go now.â
As he finished speaking, Lu Yun stepped into the void and rushed towards the Heavenly Pride Stele.
Once he entered the area radiated by the Heavenly Pride Stele, he began to sprint upwards.
With every step he took, a muffled sound was emitted, not as if stepping in the void, but as if stepping on a divine bell, the reverberations shaking everyoneâs bodies.
âWhat a great fellow, another extraordinary powerhouse has arrived. The only question is whether he can break through the five hundred feet limit.â
Out of the thousands of Heavenly Prides, to now, fewer than twenty had been able to leave their names above five hundred feet on the Heavenly Pride Stele.
Lu Yunâs current appearance on stage looks quite spectacular, instantly attracting the attention of many Heavenly Prides.
Moreover, they couldnât see through Lu Yunâs cultivation, which made their hearts even more curious and expectant.
Watching Lu Yun disappear in the blink of an eye, Qin Feng exclaimed, âMy goodness, Brother Lu, can you be any more imposing?â
The moment Lu Yun moved, the three people behind Yuan Emperor focused their attention on him simultaneously.
Since Yuan Emperor had earlier mentioned discovering a mysterious young fellow, they had been closely watching every person challenging the Heavenly Pride Stele, but ended up finding nothing.
It was only when they saw Lu Yun that they all felt a wave of astonishment surging through their hearts.
âWhat terrifying blood essence.â
âWhat powerful flesh.â
âWhat rich Laws.â @@novelbin@@
The same thought emerged in the hearts of the three almost at the same time.
At this moment, Lu Yun pressed upwards, and with each step he took, the Heavenly Pride Stele would slightly shake. After taking five steps, he was already causing the surrounding void to tremble.
All the Heavenly Prides watching were horrified, their hearts filled with shock.
Even Ye Xingxuanâs face changed dramatically.
âOnly five steps, and heâs already five hundred feet above the Heavenly Pride Stele. Is this guy even human?â Xiao Qingyu couldnât help but exclaim, covering her mouth with her small hands.
âWhere did this monster come from? How could he be so terrifying?â Xiao Yun sighed.
Although he had left his name on the Heavenly Pride Stele at over seven hundred feet, that was the result of multiple explosive attempts.
Without paying attention to the astonished Heavenly Prides, Lu Yun easily took his sixth step.
Mountain-like pressure roared down from above, but it didnât affect him much as he took another step.
The moment he took this step, a terrifying murderous sound erupted in the world, as if thousands of people were yelling together, chilling oneâs soul.
With a slight throb of his Fourth Rank Martial Arts Will, the oppressive sound instantly dissipated.
Next, Lu Yun took the eighth step.
Boom!
The moment the eighth step landed, the Heavenly Pride Stele shook, the void erupted with a roar, and thunder gathered, drowning out everything.
âHeâs already surpassed Ye Xingxuan, breaking through to the height of eight hundred feet on the Heavenly Pride Stele.â
Seeing the sudden change, a Heavenly Pride shouted.
At this moment, Lu Yun felt the pressure suddenly surge, as if dozens of mountains were pressing down, making it difficult for him to breathe.
There was also terrifying thunder descending from above, giving one the feeling of suffocation.
With the vast Laws surging, Lu Yun let out a soft shout and took another step.
In an instant, those horrifying thunders about to fall on Lu Yun shattered.
âNine hundred feet, this youngster has astonishing talent.â Chief Yuan couldnât help but exclaim, while the other two also showed astonishment in their eyes.
Upon reaching nine hundred feet in height, Lu Yun felt an endless, boundless, and oppressive force from the Heavenly Pride Stele.
âIf I hadnât cultivated the Great Sun Undying Golden Body, Iâm afraid this would be my limit.â Lu Yunâs eyes flickered.
âHoweverâ¦â
With a move of his thoughts, all fifty-eight perfectly tempered Imperishable Golden Bones in his body were activated.
An overwhelming power burst out from the Imperishable Golden Bones, flowing throughout his body, the brilliant golden light engulfing Lu Yunâs figure completely. Even the Heavenly Pride Stele was affected.
Immediately, everyone could feel the plaza under their feet violently shaking, and even the space where the Heavenly Pride Stele was located was constantly trembling.
Following that, countless Runes erupted from the Heavenly Pride Stele, forming a dazzling light curtain covering a radius of thousands of miles.
Rumble!
Rumble!
A dull booming sound echoed in everyoneâs ears, followed by an explosion of extreme power. It seemed as if everything in the sky had been obliterated, and everything was pushed back to the beginning, terrifying beyond belief.
