Chapter 1456: Chapter 661: Stone Road Celestial Ladder (2)
At the same time, Chen Xuan’s eyes regained clarity.
He took a step forward.
And Feng Xing noticed this mid-air at that moment.
"Hmm!"
"Only mid-stage Emperor Realm, but recovered so swiftly."
Feng Xing was greatly surprised but more so delighted.
This Stone Road Celestial Ladder is meant to select pure souls, having little to do with the strength of the soul.
However, generally, the stronger the soul, the purer it becomes.
"I wonder how many the ancestor needs."
He sighed inwardly; only a few people knew the true purpose of this event.
"Bang!"
Suddenly several figures exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
But in the next moment!
The blood mist disappeared.
And Chen Xuan’s expression focused, because he saw that these blood mists were absorbed by the power of the Great Dao, most critically, the souls of the blood mist owners were devoured before they self-detonated.
Self-detonation... was merely a cover.
"Interesting."
Chen Xuan coldly laughed in his heart, knowing that unqualified souls had no need to remain.
Ascending all the way, accompanied by the sound of self-detonation.
Some had already retreated in their hearts at this point.
But on the Stone Road Celestial Ladder, after entering, one must only proceed forward; those who retreat are directly suppressed by the ladder’s pressure, and then with a ’bang’, they bloom like fireworks.
Emperor Realm experts would vanish into the earthly realm just like that.
Feng Xing snorted coldly, "Only allowed to ascend the Stone Road Celestial Ladder!"
Those familiar with the ladder did not change their expressions, but the unfamiliar faces turned pale instantly.
Of course, these had nothing to do with Chen Xuan.
After being filtered by the Great Dao, he felt much less pressure himself, even completely gone.
At this moment, he had already reached the first echelon.
He could already see the mountain peak at the end of the ladder.
But...
"Rumble..."
Deep purple lightning spread like a web, guarding the end of the Stone Road Celestial Ladder, as for them... ’food’!
The words came to his mind instantly.
"I really want to see what you’re up to!"
He continued to move upward.
Soon!
The first echelon stopped a hundred meters from the end of the Stone Road Celestial Ladder, faced with the overwhelming pressure, even late-stage Emperor Realm seemed difficult to resist.
At this time Feng Xing arrived here, speaking loudly, "You need not fear, this is a reward from the Artifact Saint for those who pass the Stone Road Celestial Ladder."
"This purple lightning can cleanse your souls, making them even purer."
"You all know the power of the soul already, I won’t explain further."
"Really?!!!" Among the crowd, an old man with white hair immediately exclaimed.
His soul had already declined, withering.
If this purple lightning could cleanse the soul, he might rejuvenate.
"Sect Leader Feng, really?"
He was in late-stage Emperor Realm, yet his voice trembled slightly. If so, this would be his opportunity, even surpassing the teachings of the Artifact Saint.
Feng Xing did not speak but extended a hand.
The message was clear, words were without proof.
Once experienced, everyone understood.
Seeing this!
The old man steeled his heart, charging into the purple lightning.
Strikes of purple lightning hit his body but caused no harm, rather, his aura began to ascend.
The white hair slowly turned black at this moment.
Life force burst from his body.
The next moment!
"Boom!"
His robe exploded, black hair fluttering in the air, sharp-eyed, now not like an aging elder but instead like a vibrant youth.
"Good, good..."
"Hahaha...."
The old man laughed wildly, spreading his arms, allowing the purple lightning to lash his body.
With a loud laugh, the old man stepped out from the purple lightning region, entering the mountain peak.
Then!
The crowd exploded, especially those with diminished lifespans, who now stared intently at the purple lightning.
Those eyes seemed to see an incomparable beauty.
Fervent!
Longing!
"Gulp..."
Even the sound of swallowing was clearly heard.
The audience below could scarcely contain their feet, desperately moving upwards, such benefits outweighed no gains from the teachings of the Artifact Saint.
Retreat is death!
To advance is opportunity!
Even a fool knows how to choose in this situation.
"Damn, why does it feel like the old man is a shill?"
Chen Xuan cursed inwardly.
It wasn’t that he was overly suspicious, just too similar.
The initial group was fearful of the lightning, not daring to step forward, but the old man transformed so greatly, now these people were as if invigorated.
"I’ll take the first step."
An Emperor Realm with scant lifespan could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, rushing out, bathing in the purple lightning, his aura quickly rising.
Yet Chen Xuan merely raised an eyebrow.
Indeed, there’s no problem!
So the old man wasn’t a shill?
"Is it time for me to be petty?"
Chen Xuan mocked himself, but he did not think the Artifact Saint was particularly great, for the purple lightning... though he did not examine it closely, he sensed intense life force and the power of the Great Dao.
"The old bastard surely harbors ill intent."
With a stream of figures rushing into the purple lightning, then directly vanishing.
Chen Xuan also took a step forward, entering the lightning, at the same time Feng Xing’s gaze locked onto him, wanting to see what was special about this mid-stage Emperor Realm.
Purple lightning struck Chen Xuan like whips, simultaneously he felt powerful life force mixed with fiery Great Dao power flow into his sea of consciousness.
