The fifty-fifth step, akin to the willpower of the seventh realm.
The seventh realm?
Martial arts reach the Heavenly Human Realm, the Way of Souls reaches the Soul heart stage, and body refinement achieves flexibility between big and small.
Terribly horrifying.
Most of them possess the strength of the fifth realm, yet none ever dreamed there could be such a terrifying willpower.
Unbelievable!
In particular, the audience watching the live broadcast, more than a billion people, were stunned when they learned about the mysteries hidden within the Heavenly Ladder.
“The willpower of the fifty-fifth step equals that of the Heavenly Human realm? Yet so many have ascended? Are you telling me these are still students? Are they really just students? I doubt our city’s martial art university’s principal has such capacity!”
“Incredible!”
“Unbelievable, unimaginable!”
“Are students nowadays this strong? It’s understandable if one or two stand out, but so many? Has there been a surge in the energy of Heaven and Earth? Is the cosmos having a massive energy outburst?”
“Look, Jiang Ming, who hails from a small place and was the top pick in the selection, is also preparing to ascend the fifty-fifth step!”
“Can he do it?”
“I hope he can!”
“Yes, we all hope he can.”
“Come on, Jiang Ming, trample them all underfoot.”
Heavenly Ladder.
Jiang Ming too, with his blood boiling, took a moment to gather himself on the fifty-fourth step before stepping onto the next one. Instantly, he could feel a dreadful power penetrate deep into his soul, with countless terrifying illusions springing up before his eyes.
The fall of the gods, the destruction of Heaven and Earth, the collapse of time and space, etc.
It struck fear into his heart and seemed to plunge his will into darkness.
Images from his previous life also appeared in front of him, making it hard for him to distinguish reality from fantasy.
“So terrifying!”
With a swift thought and a shiver of the soul, Jiang Ming swiftly suppressed all discomfort.
At this moment, all eyes, including Supreme Bone Stone Shi Lei, Holy Body Ye Bai, and Devouring Body Fang Qinghan, were fixed on him.
Having already ascended, they knew the dreadfulness of this step for it was at least ten times more potent than the fifty-fourth step. They too wouldn’t have managed to ascend the step if it weren’t for their terrifying foundations.
Seeing that Jiang Ming quickly recovered after momentarily appearing confused, they all drew a sharp breath, feeling an intense challenge from him – an unparalleled competitor indeed, as befitting of the first pick in the selection. Only at this point did they truly start to regard Jiang Ming seriously.
Jiang Ming moved slightly, and his other foot also landed on the fifty-fifth step. From beneath his feet, from all directions, a potent spiritual and willpower emerged, setting upon him like a flood.
The longer he stayed, the more formidable the combined power became.
It’s simply impossible to stay in a single step for a long time.
In his mind.
The Yin God vibrates, then transforms into the Yin-Yang Method, forming a terrible Yin and Yang defense, warding off the onslaught of attacks and simultaneously deducing the essence of this power.
At the core of the Method, his soul’s origin underwent an inexplicable change, albeit subtle.
“Everyone!” Supreme Bone Stone Shi Lei suddenly spoke, his voice booming, “Everyone says that our generation houses countless geniuses, far surpassing all previous generations, and as the Heavenly Ladder attests, this is indeed the case. We, of this generation, are all the Tian Zhi Jiaozi (Proud Sons of Heaven), each housing the ambition to dominate a generation, possessing an invincible foundation and grace, rightfully earning the title of the Golden Generation.” “As the saying goes, in literature there is no first, but in martial arts, there is no second!”
“We are all prodigies, but that’s even more reason to compete.”
“Even if it’s just the preliminary round of the Grand Examination.”
“From this round onwards, none of us would hold back and put forth our best effort. Why wouldn’t we compete for the top spot?”
“First in the preliminary round!”
“No matter if it’s the second or third round!”
“If you are still the first in the fourth round, you will truly establish an invincible stature, elevating your will and evolving your spirit.”
“The prodigy among prodigies, the first among the first!”
“You should understand what this means?”
“Everyone, are you up for it?”
Shi Lei’s voice rang out loud and clear, every word transforming into a force of striking power.
He was full of momentum, like a great emperor with unstoppable force.
“Only by maintaining the first position can you be recognized as a true first, and thereby truly establishing an invincible stance!” Ye Bai immediately responded, “Challenge accepted!”
“Among peers, dominating all is what it means to be truly invincible. Now that we are assembled, a prosperous era that is seldom seen in millennia is formed. From the moment we set foot on the Heavenly Ladder, it was destined we would pit ourselves against each other.” Luo Feng’s voice was sharp, each word striking as if being a divine sword, cleaving all in its path.
Sharp and exposed.
“Just as in every generation, there is a camaraderie among contemporaries, within it there is also a competition to be the best.” Jun Qiuye also stepped up. He casually waved his sleeve, appearing quite casual. However, his aura, thick like a ghost, gave a terrifying feeling.
As though a ghostly god had crawled out of hell.
“Then let’s compete!” Fang Qinghan opened his mouth wide, and the surrounding primal qi rolled over and rushed into his mouth like a vortex.
This scene was shockingly horrifying.
“How could you do without me!” Innate Dao Body Wang Qiutong was already steadily standing on the fifty-fifth step.
Around her, all 365 acupoints were emitting divine light, each shining like a star, cultivating the spirit within.
Extremely divine.
Along with countless Dao resonances following her.
Especially her eyes, they were glowing with an indescribable divine light.
“In the world where prodigies gather, it is a world of great competition, of course, we have to compete!” Three-Eyed Yang Jian also stepped up.
At this moment, his third eye on his forehead had opened, emitting dreadfully destructive thunder light that was blotting out the attacks rushing in from all directions..
