C415 Arrive at Peak
C415 Arrive at Peak
Under the training of the strong oppressive force of the Road of Truth, Chen Long had already cultivated to a Grade Nine Treasure Body. He was only one step away from reaching the next stage of the Spirit Body.
At this moment, Chen Long's entire body was sparkling, emitting a peculiar luster. His long hair was scattered all the way down to his waist, and his eyes were dark and deep, like stars hidden in the depths of the stars.
"Bone like jade, skin like fine iron, a Grade Nine Treasured Body really lives up to its reputation!"
Chen Long carefully examined himself. The rapid evolution of his physique made him unable to contain his joy. He was confident that with his current physical strength, he would be able to contend against the king of the mutated insects, Orloff.
"It's just that the consumption of spiritual energy is a bit big, I don't know what kind of trouble we'll encounter up ahead, but to quickly recover our strength is the way to go. However, the spiritual energy here is rather dense, recovering is not a difficult matter!" Chen Long's eyes lit up as he pondered.
Just like this, as Chen Long climbed up, he crazily absorbed the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. With two minds, he slowed down a lot, and behind him, Zhou Yang and the others crazily chased after him, the distance between them gradually shortening.
At an altitude of 8000 meters above the ground, there were layers of white clouds. They were like cotton candy, making them look like fairyland. However, under such pressure, no one had any intention of looking at them.
"Such a grand occasion, truly a rare occurrence. It's not a wasted trip!"
Zhou Yang's body was enveloped in a myriad of lights. Counting him carefully, there were at least a dozen of them. Along the way, he was leisurely strolling around, looking very relaxed and at ease.
Cherry Blossom and Xue Yi were too lazy to bother with him. Of course, their value did not exist. They buried their heads in climbing up, using their bodies to resist the oppressive force. Although it was a bit difficult, they had tasted the sweetness so how could they give up?
In the blink of an eye, everyone had climbed up the mountain several times, arriving at a height of 8,700 meters. At this place, the pressure was even greater.
"Flower God's blessing!"
With a shout from Cherry Blossom, the space between her eyebrows lit up and layers of cherry blossoms danced around her. Coupled with her beautiful face, she was truly like a flower god descending to the world.
After using her defensive skill, Cherry Blossom finally felt the pressure on her lessened and her body lightened up. She let out a sigh of relief and continued to climb upwards. Her speed had clearly increased.
9000 meters!
At this time, Xue Yi couldn't withstand the boundless pressure and used his spirit energy to protect himself. The ancient book in her hands appeared once more and a long river of blood flowed out from the book. It was like a waterfall of blood surrounding her and helping her to resist the pressure.
Minutes and seconds passed. After using their Spiritual Energy to protect themselves, the three of them had clearly become faster. Soon, they had climbed another few hundred meters.
At this moment, besides the three of them, there was no one else around. Looking down, Zhao Ling'er, who was in the second group, was 1,000 meters behind them.
"That's …"
At this moment, when Cherry Blossom raised her head, she saw a faintly discernible figure disappearing around the corner in front of her. A strange look appeared in her eyes.
"Azure Dragon, stop right there!"
Zhou Yang had also discovered Chen Long's back and was roaring in rage. However, Chen Long didn't seem to hear him and continued moving forward with a slow speed.
Chen Long's reaction obviously provoked Zhou Yang. With a wave of his hand, another crimson talisman appeared, fusing into the light around his body as his speed skyrocketed, chasing after Zhou Yang.
One hundred meters!
Fifty meters!
Ten meters!
Zhou Yang quickly approached, and the distance between him and Chen Long was only a short ten meters, as if it was within reach. Even though he knew that the two sides were from different spaces, he still wasn't satisfied, and continued to attack Chen Long.
"Raging Flames Palm!"
"Purple Flame Light Soldier!"
"Hand of Buddha!"
"..."
All of a sudden, multi-colored lights exploded like fireworks in the sky. However, after the fluctuations of spiritual energy dissipated, aside from wasting a lot of spiritual energy, there was no damage done to Chen Long at all.
"But …" "Damn it!"
Because of the huge consumption of his spiritual energy, even a lot of the light around his body had disappeared. Now, he was somewhat dumbfounded and quickly stopped his attack, not daring to waste any more energy. If he couldn't even climb to the peak of his power, then that would be a big joke.
However, Zhou Yang was not worried that he would not be able to get on the stage himself. He still had the recovery medicine prepared by his family. As long as he did not make an overly stupid mistake, it would not be a problem.
"Why is this kid so slow …" "He can't be unable to walk, right …"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but mutter to himself as he watched Chen Long step by step like this. If Chen Long couldn't reach the top, it meant that he would most likely die here. In his heart, such a way of dying was far too easy for Chen Long, who had made him feel incomparably embarrassed.
"Azure Dragon, you must not stop. You have to reach the peak of your abilities and let this young master kill you!" Zhou Yang shouted.
"Hmm?"
After Chen Long heard the sound, he slowly turned his head around and stopped on Cherry Blossom and Blood One. He had met Cherry Blossom on the way and knew that she was from the island.
But this was the first time Xue Yi had seen it. When he saw Xue Yi's methods, he was a bit surprised and could vaguely guess at her heel.
"It really is like adding a ghost or god to the mix. Do you really think this is just some popular stuff?"
Chen Long sneered as he quickly looked at Zhou Yang. He didn't even give Zhou Yang a proper look as he whispered, "Idiot!"
"Azure Dragon!"
Chen Long's voice was not loud, but Zhou Yang, who was skilled at lip-reading, could naturally see that. He was so angry that he exploded in fury. He wanted nothing more than to start a fight with Chen Long on the spot.
However, Chen Long didn't even bother with him and just continued to move forward. He could only rely on the Ethereal Opening to affect the surrounding space a little. Plus, he hadn't fully recovered his spiritual energy, so he didn't have the time to engage in a verbal battle with Zhou Yang.
Cherry Blossom Snow and Xue Yi had obviously formed a partnership with the Zhou family in order to sneak in. Perhaps they were not of the same mind. One could tell from their attitude towards Zhou Yang.
Chen Long was indifferent to these two people. He had never interacted with them before. If there was a conflict between them, at the very most, he would resort to his own methods to see who would win the fight.
But Zhou Yang was different. He came from the Zhou family, and Chen Long had killed countless Zhou family members. There was a blood feud between them that could not be resolved. Zhou Yang wanted to kill Chen Long, and in Chen Long's heart, Zhou Yang was already a dead man.
"I need to get on there before him. That way, I can take the initiative!"
Zhou Yang looked at Chen Long, who was walking at a slow pace. He held the bamboo block tightly in his hand. A trace of gloominess flashed across his eyes. He immediately quickened his pace, wanting to overtake Chen Long.
9,800 meters!
After passing this height, there was no longer any cloud or mist in front of them, revealing the clear sky above. The summit of the mountain peak appeared in front of them.
"It's almost over!"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but let out a shout as he increased his speed. In the blink of an eye, he and Chen Long were standing side by side. He was about to cross Chen Long and reach the peak ahead of time.
"I've completely recovered!"
At this moment, a bright light flashed in Chen Long's eyes. It was as if a clap of thunder flashed through the sky. Spirit power surged out and turned into a green light barrier, blocking all the pressure.
"Want to surpass me? Don't even think about it! "
Chen Long sneered. He raised his feet and instantly moved ten meters up, leaving Zhou Yang far behind. Not only that, his speed got faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, he was already at the end of the mountain.
"This... This... "How is this possible!?"
Zhou Yang looked forward in disbelief. In that instant, his straight back pressed down on his heart like a mountain. He simply couldn't accept it.
"I must kill him, I must!"
Zhou Yang let out a roar. He knew that this person had already become his mental barrier. If he couldn't pass through, then he would never be able to take another step forward. And the way to pass through was to kill him!
9,999 meters!
Chen Long stood on the last step of the mountain road. His front was hazy, and he could not see anything clearly. He understood that this was another spatial transformation.
The person closest to them was Zhou Yang, followed by Ying Ji Xue Yi, then Zhao Ling'er. They wouldn't be able to see them again after this. It was likely that they would never have the chance to reach this place again.
Whether it was a thousand meters or a meter away, even if it was just one step, as long as one did not reach the top, the result would be the same.
The key step was to cross the sky and sea, and to be unable to cross the abyss of death. One step was called heaven, and one step was called heaven, and that was no different.
"Perhaps there is hope of saving all of you …"
Chen Long turned around, and this thought flashed across his mind. Other than Zhou Yang and his men, the rest had no enmity with him. Being able to save them could be considered a merit. After all, they were all elite warriors of China.
After seeing Ying Jianxue and Xue Yi, Chen Long also understood that in this world, not only Hua Xia, even outside this land, there were still experts eyeing China covetously. Being able to preserve a part of their strength was also an extremely good thing.
"Of course, this is only a possibility. Life and death are decided by fate, and wealth and fortune exist in the heavens. It all depends on good fortune!"
Chen Long shook his head. He wanted to take the last step, but this last step gave him endless pressure; it was hundreds of times greater!
That thin barrier was abnormally tough and firmly blocked Chen Long's path. It was like a natural moat that couldn't be crossed.
"You want to stop me like this?"
Chen Long's gaze flickered as his spirit energy surged. Floating on his body was a cyan colored spark. In the blink of an eye, it covered his entire body with the force of a prairie fire.
"Open for me!"
With an explosive shout, Chen Long ruthlessly stomped his foot. He stretched out his hand and ruthlessly tore apart the invisible barrier in front of him. That barrier was like a veil that was being torn apart and he stepped in …
