Free Web NovelChapter 147: Reaching the Peak
A few hours passed, and nothing changed in the slightest except for the fact that Scattered Soul Daoist had been able to take one more step by mustering up all of his remaining strength. Now he was trying to take another one.
Tang Yin had climbed to the 930th step. He began to move up the Heaven Ascension Peak quicker.
This was mainly due to the frown Tian Huang wore, he seemed very irritated about something. Tang Yin did not want to take the risk of this something being him.
Not only this, but he also believed that he had already reaped enough benefits from the Heaven Ascension Peak. But this did not stop him from claiming a bit more.
Before long, Tang Yin arrived at the 944th step. Just 2 steps behind Scattered Soul Daoist.
Scattered Soul Daoist had a sour look on his haggard face. "Brat, if you dare to continue climbing ahead, I will have the Scattered Soul Sect hunt you down with their full power. The serendipity at the 1000th step is mine, back down." With no shame, he uttered a long sequence of threats to Tang Yin. freёwebnoѵel.com
Tian Huang looked at this and did nothing. The rules only stated that a participant could not attack another, it did not say anything about threats or matters relating to the outside world.
Tang Yin scoffed, with no fear and even a hint of derision, he calmly responded. "You’re an old bag of bones, even if I back down, you won’t have the ability to reach the 1000th step. It’s better if I obtain the serendipity." Without waiting for a reply from Scattered Soul Daoist, Tang Yin climbed past him.
"Very well, don’t say that I didn’t give you a way out later." With intense anger burning in his eyes, Scattered Soul Daoist stopped moving. He looked towards Tian Huang and bowed.
Tian Huang swung his arm and a flash of golden light appeared around Scattered Soul Daoist before transporting him out of the Heaven Ascension Peak.
He knew that he could not continue. There was no need to sustain grievous wounds just to collapse a few steps later. He would rather be a tad exhausted than injured when facing the second trial.
Besides, he did not fully believe that Tang Yin could reach the 1000th step. This was mainly because Tang Yin was only a Spirit Vein Condensation Realm cultivator, it was already a miracle that he could reach his current step.
Tang Yin did not think much of Scattered Soul Daoist’s threat. He had been threatened many times before, but he was still standing tall. This obviously did not mean that he disregarded the threat, he just wasn’t going to let it affect his mindset. He would deal with Scattered Soul Daoist at the right time.
Ignoring all of this, Tang Yin continued climbing the Heaven Ascension Peak. Enduring the body refinement, he climbed each step at a steady pace. It was not fast but not too slow either.
A while later, Tang Yin reached the 990th step. The amount of Spirit Qi descending upon him was monstrous. Even a High-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator would be overwhelmed at this step.
However, to Tang Yin, this was a colossal source of Spirit Qi which could be devoured by his Heaven Devouring Abyss to refine his body to unfathomable heights. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
At this step, Tang Yin moved at a snail’s pace. He just simply could not give up an opportunity like this. The last 10 steps contained the densest pressure created by Spirit Qi. It was the place which could provide the most benefits on the Heaven Ascension Peak.
Within a day’s worth of time, Tang Yin only moved 3 steps. His body went through a breakthrough at this moment. It reached unprecedented heights. His physical body was so strong now that, a full-powered attack from a Spirit Vein Condensation Realm cultivator would not even be able to leave a scratch on his body.
Tang Yin was not done though, he wanted to reach even higher using the Spirit Qi at the summit of the Heaven Ascension Peak.
Tian Huang looked on with fascination. Although he could not see what was happening clearly, he could see a little bit. His expectations for Tang Yin only rose higher.
days’ worth of time trickled by.
Tang Yin ascended to the 999th step. He was only a single step away from reaching the 1000th step. He stopped on the 999th step.
There was an expression of extreme enervation and anguish on his face. All of this was just an act though. Tang Yin’s real motive for remaining stationary on the 999th step was because this was the step with the highest concentration of Spirit Qi descending upon him on the whole mountain.
He wanted to stall for as long as he could and Devour as much Spirit Qi as he could before taking his last step, this was due to the fact that he could feel another breakthrough involving his body incoming.
