CHAPTER 807: CHAPTER 807: ASCENT

"Wu Xuan, you three follow up."

"Young Master Ling, you are fifth."

"I’ll bring up the rear."

Chen Guan arranged.

With such an arrangement, even if they encounter danger, the group will be able to handle it.

"Alright!"

The group responded.

Qin Shuo flew forward and directly stepped into the middle passage.

Just as Wu Xuan was about to enter, he found that the passage Qin Shuo entered had disappeared.

Only six passages remained.

"What?"

Chen Guan and the others were dumbfounded.

Soon, the group reacted.

The appearance of seven passages was probably to let each person choose one to enter.

"Wu Xuan, absorb Ren Zhengyang into your inner world and try to see if you can enter!"

Chen Guan said.

"Alright!"

Wu Xuan absorbed Ren Zhengyang into his inner world and chose a passage to enter.

However, as soon as his foot stepped inside, a force repelled Wu Xuan out.

"It won’t work!"

Wu Xuan smiled wryly.

"Alright, everyone make your choice then!"

Chen Guan could only say helplessly.

Seeing this, Ling Chen transported Ling Wu out.

It seems he could only be separated from Ling Wu.

Ling Chen explained the situation to Ling Wu.

"Brother, don’t worry, I will protect myself."

Ling Wu said.

Ling Chen could only nod.

Once they choose a passage, the passage will disappear.

They cannot return.

If Ling Wu is left here, entering again might be difficult.

Moreover, he heard that once such treasure sites are fully explored, they will disappear.

Even with a key, re-entry is impossible.

Soon, Wu Xuan and the others chose their passages and left.

"Young Master Ling, you two also make your choice!"

Chen Guan said.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen responded.

Three passages remained.

Ling Wu chose the one on the far right.

While Ling Chen chose the middle one.

The one on the far left naturally was Chen Guan’s.

Seeing Ling Chen and Ling Wu enter their passages, Chen Guan then entered his own passage.

Inside a passage.

Ling Chen turned back and saw nothing behind him.

The entrance of the passage was completely invisible.

Moreover, as he moved, the passage behind him gradually disappeared.

After a quarter of an hour, Ling Chen walked out of the passage, entering a mountain forest.

In the distance, there was a towering mountain.

As high as a thousand meters.

"There doesn’t seem to be any danger here, presumably Xiao Wu is the same!"

Ling Chen looked into the distance.

He took out a token, attempting to contact Ling Wu.

However, there was no response.

Ling Chen could only give up.

"Maybe I should see if there is any treasure?"

Ling Chen began to explore his surroundings.

After several hours, Ling Chen still hadn’t found any people.

It seemed as if he was the only one in this world.

At this moment, Ling Chen arrived at the foot of the mountain.

A paved stone path inclined upward, eventually disappearing into the clouds.

"Young one, you are quite fortunate!"

A majestic voice transmitted from the mountain peak.

"Void Emperor!"

Ling Chen looked up towards the mountain summit.

"Indeed, it’s me! Young one, the mountain before you is called Emperor Mountain. As long as you can climb it, you will obtain the secret technique I created."

The voice sounded again.

"Emperor Secret Technique!"

Ling Chen was elated.

Emperor Secret Technique is among the top tier of all treasures.

"Emperor, will others coming from different passages face similar challenges?"

Ling Chen asked.

The voice replied, "Yes, there are challenges. The difficulty varies, and the treasures obtained differ. However, boy, this is irrelevant to you. You are fortunate; the Emperor Secret Technique is already a very powerful treasure. Even ordinary Emperor Realm experts would covet it. Among the seven passages you entered, your treasure is the second best."

"Of course, that relies on you passing my test."

Ling Chen nodded slightly.

In that case, Ling Wu shouldn’t be in any danger.

Like his challenge, it’s merely climbing the mountain.

How dangerous could it be?

"All I have to do is reach the summit, right?"

Ling Chen said.

"Correct."

The voice said.

"No problem."

Ling Chen nodded.

"Boom!"

Brilliant black Night Moon Spiritual Power erupted from Ling Chen.

Then, he stepped onto the stone steps.

At the moment he set foot on the steps, a powerful pressure surged towards Ling Chen like a mountain flood.

"Bang!"

Ling Chen’s sole sank an inch into the stone steps.

"Emperor’s Might!"

Ling Chen’s heart tightened.

After advancing to the Emperor Realm, one can wield Heaven and Earth Power.

Becoming a part of this realm.

Heaven and Earth have their power.

And, naturally, Emperor Realm experts possess Emperor’s Might!

Emperor’s Might is a rather peculiar force.

Neither spiritual power nor Divine Soul Telekinesis.

It is a manifestation of Heaven and Earth Power.

Whether it is the physical body, spiritual power, or Divine Soul Telekinesis, Emperor’s Might is effective.

"Bang!"

Ling Chen lifted his other foot and stepped up.

Then, Ling Chen did not continue ascending.

Instead, he stood on the steps, adapting to this Emperor’s Might.

The oppressive form of Emperor’s Might is somewhat similar to the former Gravity Spiritual Array.

Except Emperor’s Might is suppression from above.

While the Gravity Array pulls from below.

An entire hour passed.

Ling Chen finally continued climbing.

At this moment, Ling Chen had fully adapted to this level of Emperor’s Might.

Although it remained extremely oppressive, Ling Chen could handle it.

Ling Chen ascended the stone steps slowly.

Every step was extraordinarily steady.

Two hours later, Ling Chen reached the thousandth step.

From the first to the 999th step, Emperor’s Might did not change.

Upon stepping onto the thousandth step, Emperor’s Might immediately doubled.

Ling Chen instantly felt the pressure.

This is why Ling Chen took such slow steps.

"Sixth Level Undying Star Physique!"

Ling Chen immediately activated the Undying Star Physique.

Although his spiritual power didn’t change, strengthening the physical body allows him to withstand the pressure.

The sixth level is comparable to Nine-star Kings.

"Actually cultivating the physical body as well! Not bad, it meshes well with my Emperor Secret Technique."

The Void Emperor’s voice echoed again.

With the activation of the Sixth Level Undying Star Physique, Ling Chen’s pressure was suddenly alleviated by half.

His right foot stood firm on the thousandth step.

Then, his left foot followed up.

Ling Chen adjusted for another half-hour.

Then he continued climbing.

Afterwards, Ling Chen used this method to ascend.

Upon reaching the 2000th step, Emperor’s Might increased again, and Ling Chen activated the seventh level of the Undying Star Physique.

At the 3000th step, Emperor’s Might had already quadrupled from the previous thousand steps.

This time, Ling Chen did not activate an even higher level of the Undying Star Physique.

Instead, he continued ascending against the pressure.

By the 4000th step, Emperor’s Might had increased fivefold from the beginning stage.

The seventh level of the Undying Star Physique could no longer withstand it.

Ling Chen directly activated the eighth level.

The Eighth Level Undying Star Physique is comparable to Six-star Emperors.

Along with the amplification of spiritual power, this is how he managed to withstand Emperor’s Might.

However, Ling Chen’s climbing pace became increasingly slow.

When Ling Chen reached the 5999th step, five days had passed.

"The 6000th step!"

Ling Chen stared at the stone step beneath his feet.

"Boom!"

The aura of spiritual power on his body suddenly changed.
