Chapter 244 Mental Breakdown! All Top-Tier Geniuses are Trash, Lu Sheng Begins His Sprint!
Step 666.
A human sword cultivator, carrying an ancient sword and surrounded by sword energy, was staring intently at the first step in front of him.
His name is Jian Wuchen, a core member of a top-tier blessed land, and a genuine mid-stage sword cultivator at the tenth level of spiritual origin.
At this moment, his spotless white robe was already soaked with sweat, and his usually aloof and cold face now had bulging veins, making him look somewhat ferocious.
His protective sword energy was compressed to its limit under the terrifying pressure of his soul, emitting a crackling sound as it struggled to withstand the strain.
"Damn it..."
With each step Jian Wuchen took, his bones cracked and popped.
He turned around abruptly and looked behind him.
Not far away, a burly, level-ten drowned general covered in black scales was baring his teeth and following him less than three steps away.
The two of them were like they were running a slow-motion marathon.
"What are you looking at! Human!"
The drowned general, his eyes bloodshot, sneered hoarsely, "I...I'll surpass you someday!"
"dream."
Jian Wuchen snorted coldly, forcing out two words through gritted teeth.
His pride as a level ten expert made him absolutely unwilling to lose to an alien race, and even less willing to stop.
He took a deep breath and mobilized the spiritual core within his body that had already condensed into a sword pellet, attempting to break through to the 667th level.
Between steps, he subconsciously looked up, wanting to see how far the road ahead was.
Or rather, he wanted to see where the "frontrunner," who was said to have reached the end of the race, really was.
That one glance.
It almost shattered his rock-solid sword heart on the spot.
Above him, in the far distance, high up shrouded in clouds and mist, lay a view of the surrounding landscape.
That place has already transcended the "mortal realm" that a level 10 expert can reach.
That area is a restricted zone above the 800th step.
Two tiny black dots were moving at a speed that filled him with despair and even absurdity, leaving all the level 10 powerhouses far behind, like trash being thrown away.
"This...this is...is this a joke?"
Jian Wuchen's mouth dropped open. The ancient sword that had never trembled on his back let out a mournful cry at this moment.
Step 800.
The pressure of the souls here has materialized into a golden gale that can be seen with the naked eye.
Every gust of wind feels like countless blunt knives cutting into your soul.
Luo Tianfei's red dress fluttered in the strong wind.
The previous ease was gone from her stunningly beautiful and proud face.
Fine beads of sweat covered her forehead, and she bit her lower lip so hard that it drew blood.
"Chirp—!"
Within her body, the proud phoenix phantom was emitting an indomitable cry, and crimson divine fire formed a thin barrier around her, desperately resisting the will of heaven and earth that wanted to force her to kneel.
"We can't lose... we absolutely can't lose to that bastard!"
Luo Tianfei stared intently at the figure in front of her.
That was the only motivation that kept her going until now.
Whenever she felt she had reached her limit and wanted to stop and catch her breath, seeing that figure in front of her, still with his hands in his pockets and walking steadily, would make her extreme pride explode like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
She could accept losing to a level 10 powerhouse.
But she lost to that "big bug" who was always irritating her?
Absolutely not!
"Move... for me!!"
Luo Tianfei roared inwardly, her divine phoenix bloodline boiling once more, and she defied the fierce wind, taking another step upward.
And there are eighty-eight steps in front of her.
Step 888.
Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks.
It's not because I can't walk anymore.
It's not because of the scenery, but because it's truly beautiful.
He stood on high ground, turned around, and looked down.
Through the layers of clouds, he could see the black dots below that looked like ants wriggling.
Those arrogant level 10 powerhouses who were once invincible in the outside world now appeared ridiculously insignificant in his eyes.
"This is level ten?"
In Lu Sheng's dark golden vertical pupils, there was no mockery, only a calm judgment based on facts.
The oppressive atmosphere here is indeed very strong.
Even with the Dragon God's might, he felt a resistance as if he were walking tens of thousands of meters deep in the ocean.
But this resistance was not enough to make him bend over.
The Dragon God sequence within him seemed to be enraged by this vast will of heaven and earth, automatically constructing a dark golden spiritual barrier in his sea of consciousness.
It is impervious to all laws and can easily repel all evil.
"What are you looking at?"
A voice, panting but still maintaining a cold and arrogant tone, came from below.
Lu Sheng looked down and saw Luo Tianfei's face, which was flushed from exerting too much force.
She finally caught up.
Although the distance is still far, at least we can talk now.
"I'm watching, and those people in the back don't seem to be doing so well."
Lu Sheng spoke the truth, his tone so sincere that it made you want to punch him.
Luo Tianfei took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, and she almost couldn't resist throwing the Divine Phoenix Sword in her hand up.
That bastard, did he include her in his insults too?
at the same time.
At the summit of Immortal Island, inside that ancient and magnificent bronze palace.
Before the enormous water mirror, several terrifying old men were staring intently at the two figures in the image who had left everyone behind.
The atmosphere inside the hall was so heavy it was almost eerie.
"The 888th step..."
The fiery, red-haired, red-bearded middle-aged man had lost his earlier excitement, replaced by a look of disbelief as if he were looking at a monster. "If I remember correctly, when the last one started, the strongest level ten prodigy had only reached the 700th level, right?"
"A level nine body, comparable to... no, surpassing the peak of level ten."
The beautiful woman in palace attire murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, "This is beyond what the extreme realm can explain, this is... the return of a myth."
Elder Li, with his white hair and youthful face, sat in the main seat, his gaze as deep as an abyss.
He looked at Lu Sheng's back as he strolled around with his hands in his pockets, as if he were in his own backyard, and then at some strange phenomenon that was faintly appearing in the distance.
After a long while, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
"It seems that the legend is true."
"Elder Li, what legend?" Everyone looked over at the same time.
Elder Li did not answer directly, but pointed to the top of the seemingly endless staircase in the water mirror.
"At the end of the path to immortality, there is a mirror for self-reflection."
"Only those prodigies who truly possess the potential to become gods can see their true selves reflected in the mirror."
"The last one to see his true self was the First Emperor, who lived ten thousand years ago."
These words shocked everyone present.
Just then, Lu Sheng in the water mirror seemed to have rested enough.
He turned around, no longer paying attention to Luo Tianfei below, nor looking down at the masses.
He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thick fog, staring directly at the magnificent heavenly gate hidden in the clouds.
There, something seemed to be summoning the dragon god bloodline within him.
"That's interesting."
Lu Sheng's lips curled into an arrogant smile.
"Then let me see what this so-called immortal looks like."
next second.
boom!
The steps beneath his feet suddenly shattered, and he transformed into a dark golden bolt of lightning, no longer walking step by step.
But...
Sprint!!
