C396 Step 5000
Right now, the leading Swordsman, Zhongli Jun and Ji Tianxie had already stepped into the 6000 step, and the leading Swordsman was even close to the 7000 step. The three people who did not have any competitive pressure were likely to be the first three people to reach the top of the cloud pillar.
As for the others, there wasn't much of a difference in strength, so the gap between them wasn't too big. Aside from Ye Xiao, the other ten-odd people were all on the forty-three thousand three hundred stage. And Ye Xiao, who had already fallen more than a thousand steps behind, had unexpectedly caught up once again.
blood-robed youth, who was in the same cloud pillar as Ye Xiao, had already stepped into the forty-four hundred step level. Looking at the disciples in the other cloud pillars who were on guard against each other, the corners of blood-robed youth's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a trace of a pleased smile.
If he were to fight with others, this blood-robed youth would not have much confidence. After all, the Youth from before did not have any weaklings. Even if it was Ye Xiao, the blood-robed youth did not look down on him much. After a few big battles with Ye Xiao, it was enough to prove Ye Xiao's strength.
But as soon as he started to climb the stairs, Ye Xiao exceeded his expectations, and from the very beginning, he created a huge gap. The most common time, was when there was a difference of nearly two thousand steps between the two of them. This difference was more than enough to comfort blood-robed youth. Logically speaking, Ye Xiao should already be impossible to catch up to.
As long as he could withstand the pressure of the pillar of clouds, he would be able to safely step onto the top.
"This victory came too easily!" blood-robed youth muttered proudly in a soft voice.
He'd stepped past 44 hundred steps and turned his head to look down. But with this look, he was completely stunned. Ye Xiao, who was previously nearly two thousand steps behind him, had now stepped on more than four thousand steps, and had even passed through four thousand one hundred. Moreover, it was still climbing up at a speed that left him dumbstruck. If this continued, Ye Xiao would probably catch up to him in less than an hour, or even surpass him in one fell swoop.
blood-robed youth clenched his teeth, the vitality on his body surged again as he resisted the immense pressure with all his might. His footsteps became faster, and he quickly climbed up.
Originally, according to his thoughts, he wasn't in a rush. After all, as long as he could pressure Ye Xiao, there was a full two thousand steps between them. However, Ye Xiao's sudden burst of strength forced him to speed up.
"Kid, although I do not know what method you used, I do not believe that you can endure this enormous pressure for long." The blood-robed youth said fiercely.
From the perspective of the Youth, the reason why Ye Xiao could be so fast, was definitely because of some other method. However, how would he know that not only did Ye Xiao not use any methods at all, he even used extremely little vitality because all of the enormous pressure had already been engulfed by Ye Xiao's body.
Ye Xiao never thought that just by rising up step by step, he would be able to give this blood-robed youth so many thoughts. So much so that Ye Xiao had already forgotten about the competition and everyone in front of him. He was completely immersed in the massive amount of insights he had gained.
His speed did not slow down in the slightest, his body continued to climb rapidly. Ye Xiao's only thought right now was to climb to the top of the cloud pillar, and then comprehend everything!
Originally, when he was in the second group, he had even fallen behind. After all, in his opinion, he had already steadily won and there was no need to rush. However, Ye Xiao's pressure caused his speed to suddenly increase despite the exhaustion of his vitality. After an hour, he seemed to have already surpassed everyone in the second tier. Moreover, he was about to step over five thousand steps.
In truth, many people were somewhat envious of this blood-robed youth. After all, in their opinion, Ye Xiao's cultivation was originally lower, and his speed was extremely slow. This time, victory was already in his grasp.
Everyone was unclear as to why blood-robed youth, who was completely confident in himself, would suddenly go crazy and waste his Essence to increase his speed. As the stairs ascended, the pressure became greater and greater. At this time, he had exhausted too much of his origin energy, so there wasn't even the slightest bit of benefits.
At this moment, a figure in white suddenly passed through the crowd's line of sight and climbed up.
All of the Youth s were startled. They looked over, only to realize that it was Ye Xiao, who had already lagged behind by several thousand steps.
"How is this possible?" All the disciples thought dumbfoundedly. Not only was Ye Xiao able to catch up, he could even easily overtake them. It was no wonder that the bloodstained disciple from before sped up his climb like a madman.
"eighth brother was great!" Zhongli Jun was stunned at first, then laughed loudly. His eighth brother had repeatedly exceeded his expectations, and he had been very worried before. But now, sure enough, Ye Xiao once again displayed his divine might.
blood-robed youth ran with all his might. After stepping onto the fifth step, he felt a tinge of weariness and sighed in relief. Then, he looked down: The Ye Xiao before who was more than three hundred steps away from him, was only a few dozen steps away.
Furthermore, Ye Xiao's expression was extremely relaxed, and even carried a trace of an urgent feeling, as though this enormous pressure simply did not exist.
blood-robed youth took a deep breath and suppressed his impatience. No matter what methods Ye Xiao used, he had to admit that if this were to continue, Ye Xiao would probably surpass him in a moment. Furthermore, it was very possible that he would not be able to catch up.
blood-robed youth's face turned cold, a sharp killing intent flashed past his eyes: Since that's the case, then I can only stop you.
Seeing Ye Xiao's figure leap upwards at an extreme speed, blood-robed youth calmed down instead. Even though the vitality in his body had been consumed by this stage, it was still enough to launch a fatal attack at Ye Xiao.
Standing on the runes, a powerful aura surged from his body, his hand flashed with a red light, and a ten feet long blood halberd was held horizontally in his hand. Above the blood halberd, a sharp and cold light flashed past, causing people to feel a chill run down their spines.
When Zhongli Jun saw this, he immediately looked towards Ye Xiao, but saw that Ye Xiao did not check at all, still with his eyes closed, he jumped up.
"Eighth Junior Brother, be careful!" Zhongli Jun shouted at Ye Xiao, in an attempt to wake him up, but Ye Xiao, who was immersed in the pleasure of comprehending, turned a deaf ear to his shouts.
As Ye Xiao and the blood-robed youth approached the blood-colored halberd at an extremely fast speed, a trace of purplish gold light appeared on the surface of the blood colored halberd, and slowly gathered at the sharp tip. The Blood Youth knew very well that on this Rune, the best way was to win in one blow. Otherwise, if he were to fight Ye Xiao, even if he won in the end, the consumption to his elemental energy would be huge. If that was the case, he didn't have the confidence to face the huge pressure from the top-level.
60th step ? 30th step ? Tenth Order ?2
"Pah!" With a light sound of footsteps, Ye Xiao stepped onto the 5000 step, following that, a huge wave of pressure suddenly assaulted him.
