Chapter 1763: Chapter 1764: The Lost Sword! (2 Updates)

"Sigh..."

With a soft sigh, Xiao Juanyun slowly turned around. Instead of continuing forward, he turned and withdrew from the Heavenly Ladder.

This attempt of his was already quite a breakthrough. After digesting his experience and insights, he should still be able to make some progress.

It was just that the time left to them wasn’t much; they had to fight against the clock and seize every moment.

After Xiao Juanyun’s second attempt, Yie Ming and Luo Hanzhou each tried another one or two times in succession, while Ling Feng, from beginning to end, just stood where he was, like a statue.

A full day passed.

Everyone had basically tried more than five times, while Ling Feng was still standing at the First Level step, motionless.

"What is this guy doing?"

Luo Hanzhou had just made another attempt and was panting heavily. Staring at Ling Feng’s back, he was filled with confusion.

"I don’t understand it either, but Brother Ling definitely has his reasons."

At this moment Xiao Juanyun was already injured as well. He had swallowed several Elixirs in a row; only then did his deathly pale complexion recover a little color.

"Heh, Brother Xiao, you think too highly of this brat. Although he’s a bit strange, he’s ultimately just a native from the Eastern Spirit Domain. Maybe he’s already been rejected by Senior Great Wilderness Sword Saint. Lowly natives like him probably aren’t qualified to receive the Sword Saint Inheritance!"

Yie Ming sneered coldly.

"Brat, if you can’t speak like a human being, then shut your damn mouth!"

Luo Hanzhou frowned, glaring fiercely at Yie Ming. Yie Ming immediately felt a surge of Killing Intent envelop him; his neck shrank, and he could only obediently shut his mouth, though he was still somewhat unwilling in his heart.

Just then, Ling Feng suddenly opened his eyes. His entire aura rippled outward, as if a giant dragon had awakened.

In that instant, everyone’s gaze snapped toward Ling Feng in unison.

"Brother Ling, are you finally going to officially begin?"

Xiao Juanyun felt a bit excited. He very much wanted to know how many levels Ling Feng could reach on his first attempt at the Heavenly Ladder.

"Hmph, what’s with the act? I bet he can’t even get past Level 50!"

Feeling displeased, Yie Ming couldn’t help muttering a few words.

Ling Feng’s Perception was extremely sharp, so he naturally noticed Yie Ming’s muttering, but he had no interest in paying attention to that kind of person. After a day of comprehending the Heavenly Ladder, he already had a rough idea in his heart.

He stepped forward; almost in an instant, Ling Feng easily set foot on the tenth step.

His speed didn’t diminish. Very soon, Ling Feng arrived at the twentieth step. The pressure increased, but it still couldn’t affect him.

Under everyone’s watching eyes, Ling Feng crossed the thirtieth step. He felt the immense pressure surge down like a vast mountain. Even with his Physical Strength, he still felt considerable pressure.

However, it still didn’t cause any major impact on him.

Upward!

Upward!

Keep going up!

The pressure inside and out kept intensifying. Every muscle, every meridian, was transmitting a terrifying tearing sensation.

And under this terrifying pressure, Ling Feng had already reached Level 50 on the ladder.

Then, fifty-one! Fifty-two! ...

His advancing steps were far from stopping!

For a moment, the three people beneath the ladder all revealed looks of shock.

On his first attempt, he had already crossed Level 50!

You had to know, after an entire day of attempts, the best result among the three of them was still Luo Hanzhou’s sixty-sixth step!

As for Yie Ming, he had only reached the fifty-second step before he could no longer move forward even an inch.

"Impossible!"

Yie Ming knitted his brows tightly. The Peak he had reached only after struggling for a whole day had actually been surpassed by Ling Feng with ease.

"This is Brother Ling—an unbelievable guy."

Xiao Juanyun shook his head with a bitter smile. If Han Su hadn’t been killed by Ling Feng, Han Su’s record would definitely have been above Luo Hanzhou’s.

And since Ling Feng could kill Han Su with a single sword, this level of performance was only fitting for his strength!

Sixtieth step!

Seventieth step!

Amid the stunned, incredulous gazes of the others, Ling Feng finally broke through the Seventieth Level, stepping into a Domain that no one had ever reached before.

And upon reaching the seventieth step, the pressure here was no longer limited to the flesh.

It was a powerful oppression coming from the soul.

Ling Feng’s soul was powerful, which made his spiritual will extremely strong—several times stronger than people like Luo Hanzhou and Xiao Juanyun. Therefore, this spiritual oppression couldn’t affect Ling Feng in the slightest.

"Hm?"

All of a sudden, Ling Feng seemed to notice something. On the seventy-first step, there was actually a strangely shaped treasure sword lying horizontally.

Because every step was shining with golden light, if you hadn’t set foot on it, you simply couldn’t see what was on the step.

"This is..."

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched slightly. Judging from the shape of this sword, wasn’t it precisely that sword the Xiao Family had been searching for?

Ling Feng took a deep breath and reached out to pick up the sword. Sure enough, he saw the two characters "Spirit Xiao" engraved on the blade.

It was exactly the treasure sword lost by the Xiao Family ancestor!

"So the Xiao Family ancestor actually fell here."

Ling Feng curled his lips. The Ascending Dragon Heavenly Ladder really did contain an extremely great threat. If someone attempted it in a poor state and forced their way into the Heavenly Ladder, there was indeed a huge risk of falling.

Casually storing the treasure sword into his Spirit Storage Ring, Ling Feng once again moved forward.

Because his Divine Soul Origin was incomparably powerful, after crossing the seventieth step, Ling Feng actually felt things becoming a bit easier.

At the foot of the ladder.

Xiao Juanyun and the others only saw Ling Feng pause for a moment at the seventy-first step, then continue onward.

What shocked them was that after Ling Feng passed the seventy-first step, his speed actually increased!

From the seventy-first step to the Ninety Level, Ling Feng was practically running. In the span of just ten breaths, he crossed 20 Levels of steps.

"That’s impossible! Every ten steps, the pressure clearly increases. Is this guy even human?"

Yie Ming swallowed hard. In his heart, there was nothing but shock.

"Wh-what’s going on?" Xiao Juanyun’s eyes went wide. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

"Is it because he discovered something on the First Level?"

Luo Hanzhou drew a deep breath, recalling how Ling Feng had remained standing on the First Level step for an entire day.

During that day, what exactly had Ling Feng comprehended?

"He’s at the Ninety Level!"

Xiao Juanyun couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath. "Moo Fei Brother Ling wants to break through the ninety-nine-level Ascending Dragon Heavenly Ladder in one go? My god, this guy is a monster!"

Passing the Heavenly Ladder in a single attempt was something they didn’t even dare to dream of!

But at this moment, Ling Feng’s situation was actually not very good.

Even though he had spent a day beforehand to roughly feel out the Heavenly Ladder’s trial, once he reached the Ninety-first Level, he realized he had still underestimated this so-called Ascending Dragon Heavenly Ladder.

When he stepped onto the ninety-first step—

In an instant, Ling Feng felt as if he had become an Ant facing a Divine Dragon.

A Divine Dragon soaring above the Nine Heavens, an existence incomparably lofty and supreme!
