Chapter 260: Chapter 261: The Glory of the 81st Level

BOOM!

While Chi Tian was still reveling in his delight, the aura around Ye Wushuang erupted. The attack he had been brewing descended like a torrential storm, blanketing everything.

Chi Tian’s joy vanished in an instant. He stomped his foot, using the reactive force to blast backward in retreat.

Ye Wushuang was too direct.

He had attacked without saying a single word.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Crimson saber glints hacked down onto the Celestial Ladder. The forty-sixth step and all those below it trembled, on the verge of collapse.

"The strongest disciples have started to fight."

The people rushing up from below halted, fixing their gazes upward and extending their Divine Sense.

They saw figures flickering above, constantly clashing. Rings of energy transformed into hurricane-like storms that swept downward, slamming into the people below.

"It’s that God of Slaughter fighting one of the strongest disciples!"

"That Demon Fiend... his power is just too insane! He actually dares to challenge a strongest disciple!"

Watching Ye Wushuang’s figure, the crowd below was utterly stunned. A moment ago, they had been thinking of killing him for his points. If they had actually tried, they would have likely become wandering souls by now.

Many of them felt fortunate that they had held back and hadn’t been fooled by Ye Wushuang’s apparent True Essence Sixth Layer cultivation.

BOOM!

As the saber glint struck, Ye Wushuang activated his Treasure Body while hefting his Dragon Blood Battle Saber, once again hacking wildly at Chi Tian.

’Since Chi Tian wants my life and tries to block my path, then I’ll serve him a taste of my Dragon Blood Battle Saber!’

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Ye Wushuang was incredibly savage and tyrannical, like an Ancient Dominator God. His Battle Saber chopped down, looking as if it could make the heavens and earth collapse.

"World Destruction!"

Not only that, but he also unleashed the first form of the World-Destroying Slash. The light of the saber tore through the sky as it descended upon Chi Tian.

The World-Destroying Saber Technique was so terrifying that even the strongest disciples would feel fear before it.

Chi Tian was both shocked and enraged. Ye Wushuang’s continuous, uninterrupted assault left him no room to retaliate, even as one of the strongest disciples.

Ye Wushuang was too overwhelming. For now, Chi Tian could only retreat and temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

In the blink of an eye, he had already retreated to the Light Gate.

Humiliating. This was utterly humiliating.

’If he just gave me a moment to breathe, the situation would be completely different! Ye Wushuang would surely be cut down by me.’

Unfortunately, Ye Wushuang had seized the initiative from the very beginning.

Chi Tian gritted his teeth in hatred. Gazing at the World-Destroying Slash, he felt a mortal crisis descend upon him.

"Ye Wushuang, once we’re out of the Divine Communication Step, I will kill you!" Chi Tian had no choice but to roar in fury before ducking into the Light Gate in extreme humiliation.

One of the strongest disciples, forced to flee into the Light Gate—this was undoubtedly a shocking sight for many.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Yang Dingtian, Yuh Yuzhen, and the others also crossed onto the step above. The moment their feet landed, their attacks descended upon Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang’s gaze sharpened, and he quickly ascended to the forty-seventh step.

"Let’s see how many more steps you can run."

Yang Dingtian and his group sneered. ’No matter how many points he has, can he possibly have more than us?’

The group strode upward. After throwing a punch at Wudao, Pann Wu also stepped up, blocking the men for Ye Wushuang.

"Come up. I’ll protect you." Just as Ye Wushuang stepped onto the forty-seventh step, Dii Qingxue’s voice sounded from the forty-eighth.

Ye Wushuang’s gaze shifted, and he saw Dii Qingxue standing above.

Beside her was another person: Yangg Qing’er.

’Did Yangg Qing’er have enough points to make it here too?’ Ye Wushuang found it incredible.

"Brother Ye, hurry up!" Seeing the group of strongest disciples rushing up from below, Yangg Qing’er was even more anxious than Ye Wushuang. She clenched her small fists tightly and shouted worriedly.

"Lord Priest, you go on ahead! We’ll hold them back for you!"

Pann Wu also shouted.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang looked at Yang Dingtian and the others, his gaze turning severe. ’If I had the strength, I’d eliminate every last one of them.’

BOOM!

Ye Wushuang retracted his gaze, and with a Floating Light Flash, he charged up.

He wasn’t worried about Pann Wu. With a mysterious and fearsome Half-Saint Soldier in his possession, Pann Wu had no reason to fear any of the strongest disciples.

"You go on ahead," Dii Qingxue said coolly. Moonlight blossomed around her body—sacred and stunningly beautiful, yet containing a world-ending killing intent.

"What about Qing’er?"

Arriving beside Dii Qingxue, Ye Wushuang turned to Yangg Qing’er.

"You don’t need to worry about that," Dii Qingxue said with extreme confidence. Even with Yangg Qing’er, she would be fine.

Yangg Qing’er replied, "Brother Ye, don’t worry. I’ll be fine with my senior sister."

"Alright!"

Ye Wushuang responded and continued to charge upward.

Not far from Dii Qingxue, Mo Wentian was itching to make a move. A hidden killing intent flashed through his calm eyes.

Seeing this, Yunn Xiao, who was beside him, gave a cool reminder, "Don’t forget the Sect Master’s instructions. This trip to the Earth Palace is training in preparation for the Barbarian God Battle Platform."

Hearing that, the killing intent in Mo Wentian’s eyes vanished instantly. He smiled faintly and said, "Ye Wushuang is a disciple of our Ancient Spirit Sect. Naturally, we can’t let outsiders bully him. Let’s help out together."

With that, Mo Wentian moved to Dii Qingxue’s side.

A faint smile appeared on Yunn Xiao’s face. He said nothing and also walked forward.

Below, aside from the strongest disciples from the few familiar powers, there were also people from other forces, such as the strange, black-robed youth.

However, with Dii Qingxue, Pann Wu, and a few others blocking the way, they couldn’t do anything to Ye Wushuang.

The terrifying battle spread upward, all the way to the fiftieth step.

This was already the limit for the strongest disciples, but it was not Ye Wushuang’s limit.

Under the protection of Dii Qingxue and the others, Ye Wushuang set foot on the fiftieth step.

Yuh Yuzhen and his group also tried to charge up, but they were knocked back, suffering a setback.

Staring at Ye Wushuang above, their faces were flushed with anger, looking as wilted as frost-bitten eggplants. Ye Wushuang, at the True Essence Sixth Layer, could ascend, while they, the so-called strongest disciples, could not.

It was like a heavy slap across their faces.

Humiliation!

Unworthy of the title "strongest disciple."

Yang Dingtian’s group in particular was about to explode with rage. They had chased Ye Wushuang for so long, only for him to surpass them in the end.

"Ye Wushuang, you’d better not die! Otherwise, at the Barbarian God Battle Platform, you’ll be the first one I crush!"

With no other option, Yang Dingtian could only shout a cold threat to vent his fury. Of course, he hadn’t forgotten about the Ultimate Yang True Fire. He was determined to get it back.

’The Barbarian God Battle Platform, is it? Then we shall wait and see.’

Gazing at the group whose eyes were filled with killing intent, Ye Wushuang also sneered. ’Though it’s difficult to fight them now, that might not be the case by the time of the Barbarian God Battle Platform.’

Ye Wushuang turned his head and continued upward.

He had a feeling his limit was not the fiftieth step.

After the fiftieth step, the path was completely unobstructed. In the blink of an eye, Ye Wushuang reached the sixtieth step.

Ye Wushuang kept climbing. The sixty-fifth step, the seventieth, the seventy-fifth...

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Below, everything fell deathly silent. Even breathing seemed to stop. The only sound was the flow of air.

Nearly everyone’s eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, their expressions utterly exaggerated.

Ye Wushuang was actually about to step onto... the eighty-first step!

’Is he fucking defying the heavens?!’

Roars of disbelief echoed in everyone’s minds. They couldn’t believe someone at the True Essence Sixth Layer could reach that position.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The sound of fists cracking rose one after another as they stared intently, waiting for Ye Wushuang’s next move.

’If he crosses over, he will be the second person since Ancient Times to set foot on the eighty-first step.’

Ye Wushuang also glanced at the eighty-first step, his eyes burning with intensity.

BOOM!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he took the final step and ascended, completely unopposed.
