C1155 Nine Heavens of Heaven Road
Gongsun Hao was dead!
He, who was ranked forty-third on the Azure Dragon Holy Empire's Heaven's Pride Board, was killed by Chu Yangxu in three moves.
Everyone was shocked.
Previously, when Chu Yangxu said that Gongsun Hao was unfit to fight with him, they had thought that Chu Yangxu was deliberately humiliating him. But now, they realised that it was not Chu Yangxu who was humiliating him, nor was it on purpose.
Killing three moves was the best proof.
However, Dong Huangqingfeng's expression right now was a bit ugly. He looked at the already dead Gongsun Hao, then looked at Chu Yangxu.
His eyes gleamed.
"You killed him!"
Chu Yangxu nodded, he did not want to beat around the bush.
He directly said, "His Highness the Third Prince has also seen what Gongsun Hao did to me. If it was someone else, even if he didn't die, he would still be a cripple and an assassin. Since he wants to kill me, can I still spare his life?"
"But he's my friend."
Third Prince Dong Huangqingfeng slowly said.
So what if Gongsun Hao died, it wasn't a big deal, he could still recruit talented people, but this battle was Chu Yangxu slapping him on the face, it made Dong Huangqingfeng unable to remain silent.
Otherwise, where would the prestige of the royal family lie?
Chu Yangxu was too arrogant.
Towards this, a golden light flashed in Chu Yangxu's eyes, and then, he glanced at the dead Gongsun Hao. "It's precisely because he is a friend of His Highness that I have been merciful enough to kill him in three moves.
With that, Chu Yangxu turned and left.
Leaving behind the stupefied crowd and Third Prince Dong Huangqingfeng whose face was gradually turning ugly, Li Fengyin looked towards Dong Huangqingfeng and said, "Third Prince, Gongsun Hao, he …"
"Dead people have no value."
After he finished speaking, he left in large strides. Li Fengyin nodded, and without looking at the dead Gongsun Hao anymore, he followed Dong Huangqingfeng.
Pity that a Heaven's Pride had become cannon fodder.
Yet after that battle just now, no one had regained their senses yet. The feeling Chu Yangxu gave them was like a huge mountain, causing them to feel extremely pressured. Even the Buddha slightly shook their heads as he recited the Buddhist scriptures in his mind.
He once again helped Gongsun Hao achieve greater heights.
A storm was brewing in the hearts of everyone present. The battle between the heaven's pride level experts had already begun, and this was only the beginning. The later battles would only get more intense.
Three days later, Xiao Chen's group stepped out of the Red Dust Sea.
At this moment, there was no one on the other side of the river.
Xiao Chen and the others knew that they had already moved on. It was said that the Red Dust would be the last trial of the Holy Road.
After passing the trial, one would have passed the trial.
At this moment, the group was completely recovered.
"Let's go."
Xiao Chen said. Everyone nodded their heads and flew away, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
The last trial of the Holy Road was held under a mountain. Ancient trees towered up into the sky, and the scenery was beautiful, as though it was a paradise on earth. And on the mountain peak, stood a majestic hall.
This was the end.
Zhu Tianjiao had even gathered here.
Waiting for the baptism of the last test.
They were all silently waiting, because the last trial of the Holy Road, the Nine Heavens Road.
Because it was carved on top of a mountain peak that reached into the clouds, it was called the Heavenly Road.
As for the ninth level, it was the 'ranked' level.
There were nine hundred steps on the Heavenly Road, and every hundred steps formed a single heaven. And the palace at the very top of the mountain peak, was the end, one needed to step past nine hundred steps to enter the palace in order to completely pass the Holy See's test.
There was also a stone tablet standing in front of the mountain peak. It was ten zhang high, and on it were engravings.
Unless one was a monstrous genius, he or she was untouchable!
Unless one was a Chosen, one could not reach it!
These four words had intimidated thousands of people, causing countless heaven's pride level experts to lose their minds.
In next to no time, seven more people arrived.
When he saw them, the Buddha smiled and those Heaven's Pride who knew Xiao Chen and the others also spoke up. Xiao Chen and the others smiled and nodded.
Chu Yangxu's eyes flashed with light.
Xiao Chen had finally arrived!
His opponent would not be weak, and he would not make a mistake. Xiao Chen was an extremely dangerous opponent.
It was worth it for him to take it seriously.
Xiao Chen and the others were reminiscing about old times with their old friends. At the same time, they were waiting for the opening of the Nine Layered Heavens path. When night arrived, they sat cross-legged and cultivated.
Three days later, the clouds dissipated.
Everyone slowly opened their eyes as bell chimes rang out. Everyone stood up and looked towards the Wanren Mountain, the nine hundred stairs, and the majestic palace at the peak of the mountain.
That was the end.
"Starting from the Nine Layered Heavens, everyone will have a chance to step through the Nine Layered Heavens in order to pass the examination. The loser will be eliminated and the Holy Road will be out of the picture. You can begin now."
His voice echoed in the sky.
It lifted everyone's spirits.
The Nine Heavens Path had begun!
Someone stepped out and directly ascended the flight of stairs, staring at the back view of that person. Quite a few people recognized him and exclaimed in shock.
"Sword Son Yu Tianheng, 30th place on the Heaven's Pride Board!"
"The Young Master of the Divine Sword Villa!"
Yu Tianheng's eyes were firm as he carried a heavy sword on his back. His aura was stable and steady, and he was dressed in green, his stature slender. On the stairs right now, even though he did not release any immortal energy, his indiscernible sword intent flowed, incomparably tyrannical, as though it was solid.
Immortal Sword Villa, in this generation, Yu Tianheng is the undisputed number one, reputed as the rare sword genius of the century. His sword skills are renowned throughout the Azure Dragon Sacred Dynasty, and he was ranked in the top thirty of the Azure Dragon Sacred Dynasty's Heaven's Pride Board.
When he stepped onto the stairs, the crowd naturally cried out in alarm.
"What a strong sword intent."
Seeing the terrifying sword intent around Yu Tianheng, Xiao Chen slowly spoke out. He cultivated in the way of the sword and thought that he was not weak, but now that he was in front of Yu Tianheng, his eyes became serious.
The Holy Road was indeed a gathering of heaven's pride experts.
This Yu Tianheng was one of them. Xiao Chen did not think that he deserved the title of Heaven's Pride. There was also the Chu Clan's Chu Yangxu. His strength was domineering, sharp, and equally terrifying. He was not to be underestimated.
Looks like it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven to take the top spot in the Holy See selection this time.
"How is it compared to yours?"
Beside him, cutie and Long Xuanji asked.
They naturally knew that Xiao Chen's cultivation in the way of the sword left. After that, they only saw Xiao Chen shake his head, "I don't know. I will only know after the battle."
Behind Yu Tianheng, there were more people stepping onto the stairs.
This time, it was a woman.
She was an extremely beautiful woman, with three thousand green clothes tied behind her head. Although a light green dress covered most of her figure, it was still possible to see that her figure was perfect. Her waist was like a willow, and her figure was less than a hand's width away.
Such a beautiful woman didn't have a trace of vulgarity. Even if she was a virgin, she still looked like a celestial fairy.
She was the Holy Maiden of the Misty River Palace, Zhuge Lingyan.
Her appearance caused countless of men to lose focus and women to blush. Amongst the people present, only Shen Lei and Luo Qianyu could compete with her.
"What a beautiful woman."
Shen Lei and Luo Qianyu shouted out, and then they took a look at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen kept his gaze straight.
"Compared to my wife, it's slightly inferior, not even worth mentioning. Not even worth mentioning." and the cutie at the side could not help but let out a laugh. Xiao Chen was not afraid of anything in heaven or earth, and the only thing he could not show was his temper in front of Shen Lei and Luo Qianyu.
This was because Xiao Chen spoiled them to the bones.
When Shen Lei and Luo Qianyu saw Xiao Chen, they could not help but smile.
"Idiot, hmph!"
Xiao Chen smiled as well; there was an unresolvable tenderness in his eyes.
Behind Zhuge Lingyan, countless other heaven's pride level experts continued to climb the stairs. The Holy Empire's Prince Dong Huangqingfeng, the Heaven's pride level experts, and even the Heaven's Pride Board were famous.
After that, Chu Yangxu also stepped forward.
Xiao Chen looked at him, and they walked out after him. Seven of them, the Buddha, stepped onto the stairs as well. Behind them, there were people stepping on the stairs as they prepared to challenge the Heavenly Road, the last stage of the Holy Road.
They were all blessed by the heavens.
But because of the stone tablet in front of them, it made them feel that the path was full of challenges. They were going to test their talent on the Nine Heavens Path. They were going to see if they were true Chosen or not. They were going to see if they were truly monstrous!
When Xiao Chen and the group stepped onto the stairs, they felt a strange feeling enveloping them. The pressure was not very great, and there was almost no pressure at all. However, there was a Dao quality that astonished them.2
If he could comprehend it, it would be extremely good.
Xiao Chen slowly closed his eyes. That trace of dao was very soon comprehended by Xiao Chen. However, at this moment, there were countless people ahead of them. However, Xiao Chen was not anxious at all.
The corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.
The Nine Heavens Path. 900 steps. He's here!
