C1257 Not Even Heaven and Earth

Article 1257. Not even heaven and earth.

On the twenty-ninth floor, Chu Yan and Yun Qiu stepped out at the same time. Immortal light flickered, and their figures turned into beams of light that shot into the sky.

Yun Qiu's Heavenly Dao was like the clouds in the sky. His entire body became extremely illusory, and no one could tell whether he was real or fake. As he moved at high speed, an extremely long afterimage appeared behind him.

Unlike Yun Qiu, Chu Yan was wearing a golden Titan battle armor, and he carried the Starry Sky Diagram on his back. Every step he took contained explosive force, and it seemed as if he had left a huge footprint in the void.

Many people were shocked when they saw this scene. At this level, the suppression of the escalator alone was extremely terrifying. If one wasn't careful, one would be doomed forever. However, under such circumstances, the two of them were still able to walk quickly. It could be seen how terrifying their willpower was.

"Both of them are so strong!"

Rushing into the clouds, the radiance of the seal kept flickering. Chu Yan immediately felt a heart-piercing pain. It was a feeling of being torn apart. It directly fell on his soul. It was indescribable, but it actually existed.

In the sky, numerous lights and shadows intertwined, like thousands of God.

"Dong!" Yun Qiu was the same as Chu Yan, suffering a terrifying mental attack. His body suddenly trembled violently, and his entire body stiffened. Even a figure like him still felt a trace of fear. When he lowered his head to look, he found that his body had become ethereal, as if it was collapsing bit by bit in the spatial zone.

At this level, he couldn't be moved at all.

"Yun Qiu's pace has slowed down!" The people below whispered when they saw this. "What exactly did that level experience?"

"Buzz!" Another wave of violent trembling occurred. Yun Qiu's body continued to sway, and the power of his will and the ancient voice continued to echo in his mind.

"One more step. Kill him. Do you dare to take another step forward?" The ancient voice kept shaking.

"Die! Die! Die!" Numerous voices merged into the wind and howled crazily. Yun Qiu's face turned pale. That voice actually said that if he took another step forward, he would die.

The next moment, the world in front of him seemed to have changed. It was no longer a path of light that led to the holy land, but more like a path of death that led to the underworld.

This path was filled with killing intent, ghosts, and no end.

He wanted to continue forward, but when he took a step forward, he realized that he could no longer take that step, because there was no path in front of him anymore. There was only an endless abyss left, and with one step, he would be in an endless hopeless situation.

"How could this be..." Yun Qiu frowned. Could it be that the twenty-ninth level of the scaling ladder could not be broken?

"You lost." Suddenly, Chu Yan's voice came from the side. Yun Qiu suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Yan from afar. He had an ugly expression on his face. "You haven't even gotten the mark yet. How dare you say that I will win?"

"One more step and you will die. One more step and you will be doomed. Do you still dare to take that step?" Chu Yan looked at him with a smile.

Yun Qiu's expression was gloomy. "Don't tell me you dare?"

"I have said before that my desire for martial arts is endless and without flaws. Why wouldn't I dare?" Chu Yan's eyes were calm. At this moment, his heart was incomparably firm. Perhaps there was a path of no return ahead of him, but wasn't this the path of martial arts?

If he had an undying will, then no one in the world could kill him.

It was just a mark, an ancient path. Why wouldn't he dare?

"Dong!" A trembling sound was heard. Chu Yan put his hands behind his back and walked towards the floating mark. With just one step, he suffered a terrifying destruction, as if he was going to be torn apart by the heaven and earth. God's will descended.

However, he just stood there casually. His body was being destroyed bit by bit. That intense pain was real, but he just stood there with a smile on his face.

"If you go any further, your will will will be shattered, your soul destroyed, and you will be doomed forever. Do you still dare to go forward?"

The ancient voice rumbled in Chu Yan's ears, but he remained indifferent. He took one step at a time. At the moment, he looked like he was in a sorry state, but the image of his back gave people the feeling that he was an immortal.

"My heart is strong."

"Who can kill me?" Chu Yan smiled brightly, then he closed his eyes and allowed all the attacks to land on him. He didn't care at all.

He wanted to go to the Nine Heaven Divine Realm and get his revenge on the Royal Family Chu. If he lost here, how could he go to the Nine Heavens?

"Boom!" All of a sudden, the escalator trembled violently. It was as if the entire Time flood had collapsed. Everyone was moved when they looked at the back of the figure.

After a while, the storm finally stopped. Chu Yan stood there quietly. A mark floated towards him, adding another inch of light to his jewel.

"This..."

Everyone was stunned. Someone had succeeded, but it was Great Emperor Shenchui. He had surpassed Yun Qiu in one step and became the number one person in the Time flood.

"How could this be...?" The disciples of the Cantian Daoist Temple felt pain and disbelief. In this generation, they had always regarded Yun Qiu as their pride. They had thought that Yun Qiu would become the future Immortal King, but now, Yun Qiu had lost.

Although they didn't have the combat strength or talent to compete in this battle, at least in terms of willpower and perseverance, Yun Qiu had lost. In the end, he didn't dare to take that step forward.

"Incredible!" Wang Feng laughed excitedly. "The twenty-ninth level! There's still one more step to reach the top."

After saying that, Wang Feng turned around and looked at the people from the Cantian Daoist Temple. "Yun Qiu, number one on the Unparalleled Ranking, a peerless genius. Now, he can only stop at that step."

Yun Qiu looked at Chu Yan and felt touched in his heart.

Did he lose? But if he took that step forward, he would die. Why did Chu Yan still dare to take that step forward so resolutely?

Could it be that he wasn't afraid at all?

However, after a moment, Yun Qiu suddenly calmed down. He was not discouraged by Chu Yan's victory. Instead, his gaze became even calmer. "Although I lost, it wasn't because I lost to you, but because of my inner demon. But even so, since you are able to take this step, I will definitely be able to do it as well."

Yun Qiu firmly believed that he would be able to do the same. He then took a deep breath. In front of him, there was still a boundless abyss, but he didn't hesitate to take that step.

"Dong!" He took a step forward, and the will of destruction descended upon him, wanting to destroy him. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but he clenched his fist tightly and endured everything. His body was broken by the storm, but he still didn't take a step back.

It had to be said that since Yun Qiu was able to become the leader of this generation, the Unparalleled Realm had always occupied the first rank. His talent and perseverance were both worthy of praise.

Under that terrifying power, he did not even flinch. With a loud bang, his feet finally stabilized, and a mark floated towards him.

Yun Qiu, twenty-ninth inch.

Chu Yan looked at him and wasn't surprised. However, he didn't respond. He turned around and looked at the top floor. That was the thirtieth floor, and only one inch of light was left. Only one person could obtain it.

"Do you still dare to take the next step?" Chu Yan didn't turn his head. He looked into the distance and smiled. Yun Qiu's pupils shrank. That step just now had shaken him. What would happen next?

Before he could regain his senses, Chu Yan took a step forward and walked towards the 30th floor.

"Are you crazy?" Yun Qiu looked at the back of the figure, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. It was as if he had been struck by something. He couldn't understand. Could it be that Chu Yan wasn't afraid at all?

At their current stage, as long as they were alive, they would sooner or later step into the Sovereign realm, conquer the Immortal Domain, and become the Human King.

But if they died, there would be nothing left.

Furthermore, when they reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, they would surpass life and death, and have endless lifespan. That mark would only increase his cultivation base by a year. For a year's worth of cultivation, was it really worth it to give up one's life?

"You're not me. You don't know what I want." Chu Yan smiled faintly. Immortal Sovereign and King of Immortal Domain were just Yun Qiu's horizons. He was different and had more missions.

He had never been to the Nine Heaven Divine Realm before, so he didn't know what was there. However, he knew that Immortal Sovereigns were nothing to that place. He wanted to become stronger, and for that, he wouldn't hesitate to pay any price.

"Am I not you..." Yun Qiu fell silent. He looked at the thirtieth level, and a strong desire to fight rose in his eyes.

At this point, he no longer cared about his cultivation base from that year. What he cared about was that he did not want to lose.

More accurately speaking, he did not want to lose to Yun Qiu. Even though he knew that even if he took this step, it would be impossible for him to do better than Chu Yan, and gain the approval of the sealing mark, he would at least take this step. Otherwise, this step would forever become his inner demon.

"Boom!" With just one step, Yun Qiu stepped into the 30th level. However, his body was immediately ravaged by his willpower. One after another, his willpower turned into God's sword light. Thousands of sword lights crazily slashed at Yun Qiu. Each of those sword lights seemed to exist in reality, causing Yun Qiu's expression to become extremely ugly.1

A trace of panic appeared on his face. He immediately stretched out his hands, wanting to support God's attack. However, God's attack, especially a mortal's attack, could be blocked.

"Boom!" In an instant, thousands of arrows pierced through his heart. Yun Qiu's facial expression changed drastically. Blood kept gushing out of his mouth. Immediately after, he was no longer able to block that terrifying will. His body was killed, and the escalator was forcefully removed from his body.

"Bang!" Yun Qiu was sent flying back to the twenty-ninth floor. Finally, he was no longer able to reach the thirtieth floor. That floor would forever be his nightmare.

"Yun Qiu! Senior Brother Yun!" Below, the hearts of the Cantian Daoist Temple disciples tightened. They knew that Yun Qiu had really lost this time. He didn't even have the qualifications to step onto it. What was there to fight for the imprint?

But immediately after, they looked at the figure on the top floor, and couldn't figure out how Chu Yan did it.

The same went to Yun Qiu. He had been to the thirtieth floor, so he knew what was there. How terrifying was that place? But wasn't Chu Yan afraid of it at all?

Or was it really as he said, his desire for martial arts was flawless, and his will was firm?

However, could that kind of attack be blocked with just his will?

If it was, then just how terrifying of a will did one need to be in order to survive in that type of storm?

However, no matter what, he was defeated. He sat up. His entire body was covered in blood. He raised his head to look at the thirtieth level. He wanted to see if Chu Yan could accomplish that final step, seize the last inch of the imprint.

On the thirtieth level, Chu Yan stood alone.

At this moment, thousands of destructive lights descended from the void. He slowly closed his eyes and allowed the light to fall on his body. There was no pain at all. Instead, he seemed incomparably calm.

Just as he had said, no one could shake him anymore.

This escalator could not do it, neither could the heaven and earth.
