Zhan Yue used the power of the Silver Moon Divine Armor to pass the first trial, while Bai Zhi used the alchemy technique of Dan Dao to crack the second trial. The two of them were full of fighting spirit. After climbing up the jade wall, the other two people's expressions froze at the view in front of them.
There was no hall in front of them, but a void. There was only a long staircase in front of them, which went straight up. At the end, there was a huge golden door, which was emitting golden light at the moment, illuminating this dark place. space.
Is this the third level the steps in front of you? Zhan Yue naturally thought of it.
"Let's go." Zhan Yue took Bai Zhi's hand and climbed up the steps. However, as soon as he stepped onto the steps, he felt a terrifying force pressing him down. "Sure enough, it's this kind of ladder that tests endurance."
Zhan Yue felt more and more painful as he walked up, but Bai Zhi behind him felt relaxed and stress-free.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Zhi seemed to notice something unusual about Zhan Yue.
"Huh? Don't you feel the huge pressure?" Zhan Yue looked back at Bai Zhi and asked curiously.
Bai Zhi shook her head, "No."
"What a weird thing. Could this staircase be aimed at me?" Zhan Yue asked in confusion.
Bai Zhi let go of Zhan Yue's hand and used the phantom body technique to rush towards the end of the stairs. However, she was pressed down on the steps just after passing a few steps past Zhan Yue.
"Are you...are you okay?" Zhan Yue hurried over and helped her up.
"Huh?" He felt keenly that he did not seem to be under any inexplicable pressure in these few steps.
"No, the faster I go, the more terrifying the pressure will be. It reaches the point where I can't bear it almost instantly. It's impossible to rush forward in one breath." Bai Zhi explained to Zhan Yue.
"Yes." Zhan Yue nodded, and after some more attempts, the two finally figured out the rules.
First, those in the front will be under great pressure while those behind will not.
Second, if two people are on the same step, they will be under pressure at the same time and the pressure will not decrease.
Third, the faster you climb up, the greater the inexplicable pressure will be, making it impossible to pass at high speed.
Based on these three rules, Zhan Yue understood what this test was about.
"I think this level is for us to take turns walking in the front. The person taking the lead will be under tremendous pressure. Once we can't bear it anymore, we will change people to rest in the back, and so on until we reach the door." Zhan Yue said.
The male figure who was watching the two people's trial explained: "Madam, this third level is called the Walking Path. Even if they have all kinds of abilities, they have to climb up step by step for me."
"Walking together? I hope they can pass." The woman on the side sighed, seeming to recall the bumpy life with her husband. The two supported each other and finally reached the top, where they were worshiped by hundreds of millions of people.
"Baizhi, let me do it." Zhan Yue looked at Bai Zhi's forehead covered with beads of sweat and her legs were trembling. He took the initiative to cross her and come to the front. When he walked in front, the pressure on Bai Zhi disappeared instantly, and she Panting heavily.
From the beginning, the two of them only needed to exchange once every ten steps, and now they need to exchange every three steps. Zhan Yue's ability to look back is not very good either. It cannot look back on the mental and soul fatigue caused by the pressure, and the physical hardship is also secondary. Fortunately, Bai Zhi's soul power was already strong, and Zhan Yue had the help of the ghost fruit, and their performance was truly extraordinary.
Taking another step up with difficulty, Zhan Yue felt that his limbs and the eight special meridians in his body were being torn apart, and he was in great pain. The power of the spiritual fruit elixir he had taken before was completely refined. He came from the third level of Yuling. When he reached the fourth level, he took advantage of the momentum of his breakthrough and took a few more steps up.
"The pressure of these steps actually made me break through. It's really mysterious." Zhan Yue gasped.
"You take a rest first and let me do it." After resting, Bai Zhi crossed Zhan Yue and came to the front, climbing up under tremendous pressure. The pressure on Zhan Yue disappeared instantly. He took this opportunity to take the elixir and recovered quickly. He knew that Bai Zhi would not be able to hold on for long.
However, Bai Zhi's perseverance exceeded his expectations, and she climbed to the fifth level in one breath.
"Brother Zhan...Fifth level, I climbed to the fifth level." Bai Zhi turned around, made a five sign, and showed a smile. It was impossible for Zhan Yue to pass this journey alone, and she also Must use all your strength.
"Don't, don't be pushy, let's take it slow." Zhan Yue hurriedly passed her, took over the terrifying pressure for her, and let her rest for a while.
Finally, as the two climbed higher and higher, the pressure became more and more intense. In the end, they only reached the first step, and they had to change people once. However, the door at the end of the steps was still not far away.
"There is no other way!" Zhan Yue put the Sun Stone into the Silver Moon Armor and continued to climb up wearing the Silver Moon Armor. However, the Silver Moon Divine Armor, which never let him down, was of little help this time. Resist the terrifying pressure, but only a little. Relying on the Silver Moon Divine Armor, Zhan Yue climbed to the fifth level, but was unable to continue. At this moment, he felt that the armor was extremely heavy and seemed to be a burden, and then he put away the armor.
Bai Zhi looked at the figure, gritted her silver teeth, and rushed up to bear the pressure for Zhan Yue. However, this time she couldn't even stand and was forced to kneel down on one knee.
Zhan Yue helped her up distressedly, took another step forward, and let the pressure fall on him. The huge pressure made him stagger and almost kneel down. Both of them were covered in sweat at this moment, their faces were pale, and they were almost at their limit.
"Don't fall short!" Zhan Yue took out the sixth-grade Mysterious Split Pill that Bai Zhi had refined before and put it into his Earth Mother Golden Cauldron, and then the Earth Mother Golden Cauldron shrank visibly to the naked eye.
Terrifying power exploded inside the cauldron. With the thrust of this explosion, Zhan Yue's body jumped seven or eight steps. The terrifying power directly knocked him down on the stairs, and he couldn't even stand up!
"Brother Zhan!" Bai Zhi followed, crossing Zhan Yue to bear the pressure for him, but she was also crushed on the steps in an instant.
Zhan Yue felt that he had lost all feeling in his limbs, and even the state review did not change at all, because there was actually no scar on his body.
"Let me come!" Zhan Yue climbed over Bai Zhi's position with difficulty, and the pressure came to him again.
The two finally changed from standing to climbing upwards, alternating back and forth.
However, the door was already in front of them, and the two of them were on the same step. The moment they received force at the same time, they were both pressed to the ground, unable to move at all.
Zhan Yue looked at the door in front of him reluctantly and wanted to struggle forward. There are only a few steps left, just a few steps left. However, perseverance still couldn't support his body, and he couldn't even move a few fingers. Bai Zhi on the side was even more unbearable. She had never suffered like this since she was a spoiled child. Her whole body was like mud.
"Brother Zhan...we..." Bai Zhi didn't say the next words.
The two shadows watching this scene were extremely emotional, it was just a little bit close, but unfortunately they had reached their limit.
"How could you just admit defeat like this!" Zhan Yue once again summoned the Silver Moon Armor and embedded it with a top-quality spiritual stone. He activated the armor with all his strength, and instantly the complete spiritual stone cracked open and all the power was poured into it. The armor made Zhan Yue climb three more stairs.
Zhan Yue doesn't feel sorry for the spirit stone at the moment, but it's a pity that he knows that he is really at his limit this time. Even if he consumes another spirit stone, it cannot support him to continue climbing. The terrifying pressure is pressing on him like the Five Elements Mountain.
Bai Zhi followed, but could no longer get past Zhan Yue. When she was on the same level as him, the pressure seemed to crush her bones.
"Silly girl, why are you climbing up? You won't be under pressure from behind. You and I are on the same level, and you are under the same pressure as me." Zhan Yue was a little dumbfounded. He went all out just to make Bai Zhi fall behind and make her feel better. Some, but Bai Zhi crawled over again.
"I know, I just don't want you to be in front alone." Bai Zhi said aggrievedly.
"Hey, what should we do now?" Zhan Yue had no idea at this moment, and his means had been exhausted.
"It's me who hides behind you every time." Bai Zhi looked at Zhan Yue's disappointed expression and felt equally unwilling. Along the way, Zhan Yue climbed far more steps than she did, and she was the one holding back.
Ever since she was a child, Bai Zhi has never been so eager for power. She hopes that at least this time, at least this time, she is not holding him back.
The girl clenched her silver teeth tightly and used all her strength to suck the milk. A look of determination that she had never seen before appeared on her face.
"First level, second level..." Bai Zhi, who climbed out of the second level, was finally pressed by stronger pressure and couldn't move.
Zhan Yue's face was full of shock. He couldn't imagine how Bai Zhi did it. It took him a top-quality spiritual stone to move up a few steps. At this moment, there was only a trace of sadness and emotion in his heart.
"It's not enough... This time, leave it to me this time." Bai Zhi knew that two levels could not solve any problem at all, and she had to reach the finish line in one go.
"Hey..." The female figure watching the battle sighed faintly, "This girl has a temperament similar to mine. Brother Shi, should we lower the difficulty of the test?" She felt pity.
The man shook his head, "How can you and my descendants be mediocre people? If you can't go beyond the limit, it's impossible to pass this level. No matter how good they performed before, failure is failure. My standards have been lowered. Many, otherwise it would be impossible for them to reach this point with their strength, and it would be impossible for them to fall any further.”
The woman said no more. She still chose to trust the man's judgment when it came to such important decisions. After all, this was not an ordinary assessment, but the most important inheritance of both of them. How could it be taken away so easily?
Bai Zhi felt that there was no pain anywhere in her body. Every organ in her body seemed not to belong to her, and even her spirit was in a trance. However, the belief in climbing up has not weakened at all.
"Hey..." A helpless sigh came from the depths of Bai Zhi's soul. Then he saw a phantom of Suzaku appear behind Bai Zhi, and the power of Suzaku's bloodline hidden in the depths reappeared.
Bai Zhi felt that she was reborn at this moment, and her body was filled with endless power. Under Zhan Yue's shocked eyes, she stood up, crossed the last few steps, and stood in front of the door.
Zhan Yue felt like he was dreaming, but he felt that Bai Zhi's eyes seemed a little strange and cold at the moment.
