Chapter 956: No retreat, the number of ninety-five(1/2)
The pressure of the field and the squeezing of the situation slowed down Lu Chen's progress.
He still behaved like a normal person climbing the stairs, but in fact his spirit was already in a state of high concentration.
Finally, when he reached the dividing line of 60,000 steps, he felt that the pressure pattern on the trialists on the ladder had changed, and it had increased by more than one level compared to the previous step.
If he hadn't been prepared in advance and climbed up the state, he would have been squeezed directly off the ladder and his soul would have been wiped out in the surrounding field.
"Qianxue, be careful."
Lu Chen reminded him that Qianxue was still following him closely until he reached the 60,000th level, but he could see that his former little follower was already struggling a bit.
"If you feel like you can't walk anymore, stop and retreat slowly."
Lu Chen thought for a while and then said, they came here for a chance, not to fight desperately, and there was no need to die trying to climb the ladder to heaven.
But even though he said so, he also knew that this ladder would not be as simple as it looked, otherwise there would not be so many corpses of strong men below.
If they find that they can easily go down if they can't walk, these strong men are not fools. How could they die on the way?
Lu Chen took a few more steps forward, and as expected, the pattern of targeting testers on the ladder changed.
After he stepped onto the first stone platform, invisible sword energy burst out from the void, only taking hold of his eyebrows.
Lu Chen did not draw his sword, but used the sword's intention and the domineering spiritual power of the Emperor Wu Jing to disperse them and defend the Immortal Platform.
The pressure and attacks on the testers on these stone platforms are all released based on the current state of the tester, so Qianxue will not have an advantage over herself.
Looking back at this moment, Qianxue was already a few steps behind him, while Mo Yu had just reached the 60,000th step and was no longer going forward.
Mo Yu realized that her abilities were of little use in this stage of climbing the ladder. It was impossible to complete the remaining 30,000 steps of the ladder, so she did not want to continue taking risks.
As for Lin Shanhe and Leng Yue, one was at the 30,000th step of the ladder and the other was at the 40,000th step. Both of them slowed down, obviously feeling a lot of pressure.
Lu Chen once again reminded everyone not to show off, but his own pace did not slow down.
An hour later, he climbed the 70,000th step of the ladder, escaped from the attacks of many mysterious methods, and once again endured the purest pressure.
It was as if he was carrying the galaxy and the universe on his back, and the overwhelming force was pressing against his flesh and body.
Lu Chen's secret blood boiled, and his energy and blood rushed towards the starry sky, only to be wiped away by the invisible field above. During the roar of the Martial Emperor Sutra, the blood evil fighting spirit was activated to help him resist the external pressure on the ladder.
At this time, he had reached an area where the corpses below had never reached, but there were still more than 20,000 stairs ahead.
There were beads of sweat on Qianxue's forehead, but her expression remained calm. There were hundreds of stone steps away from Lu Chen, and she was still walking up.
It's not that she wanted to follow Lu Chen, but she was no longer the girl who had no opinion back then. As a pioneer now, she naturally had a strong heart. She wanted to see where her limits were and what the gap was between her and the man in front of her.
How big is it.
Lu Chen continued to climb the ladder despite the pressure. Every time he climbed a step, the pressure became stronger. Six hours later, he climbed to the 80,000th step of the ladder.
The people who are still on the ladder now, except Qianxue, have stopped. They feel that if they go forward, there is a risk of being squeezed down.
Qianxue was at level 78,000 and could continue to move forward. She judged that it would not be a problem for her to reach level 80,000.
Mo Yu took out a tablet at level 60,000 and actually started playing the game.
Leng Yue stayed at the 50,000th step, no longer moving, cautiously opening his eyes to observe the veins on the ladder.
Lin Shanhe was two thousand levels lower than Leng Yue, just over fifty thousand levels. This result made him very happy, which showed that he was no worse than his predecessors, and that he also had a chance to become a star-level powerhouse.
The lowest corpse under the ladder is 50,000 steps, and the highest is more than 60,000 steps. This is the testimony of the strength of the Star Alliance's strong men in the past, a manifestation of the combat power of the same level, and a benchmark for one's own potential.
Several people who stopped sat cross-legged on the narrow steps. On the one hand, they wanted to reduce physical exertion, and on the other hand, they wanted to practice martial arts under this pressure and try to make some self-breakthroughs. Principle and Lu Chen were summoning spirits.
The training in the tower is similar.
Of course, in this environment, it is impossible for them to devote themselves to practice, and they will look up from time to time to check the progress above.
Leng Yue was able to keep her composure, sitting cross-legged, observing the magic of the ladder with her eyes. In those blue eyes, the purple seemed to become deeper.
After Lin Shanhe sat for a while, he felt that the pressure made him feel a little uncomfortable and he couldn't calm down, so he looked at the ladder and this space again, and thought about the ancient books he had read.
Another half day passed, and Lu Chen, who was climbing the ladder to heaven, heard shouts from Lin Shanhe below.
"Brother Lu, the situation is a bit bad."
Lu Chen was currently sitting on the stone platform of the 89,000th step. His whole body was burning like an eternal furnace. It was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. His combat power had reached its peak under normal conditions. For his own
His potential also began to be squeezed, and he could barely withstand this high level of pressure.
After hearing what Lin Shanhe said, he turned around with difficulty and saw that Lin Shanhe and others looked not very good.
Lu Chen frowned because he saw that the positions of Lin Shanhe and others had changed. They had moved one step ahead.
"What's going on? Didn't you say you can't move forward?"
He asked. He had clearly warned everyone not to show off.
Mo Yu's expression was gloomy. She walked forward several steps at this time and explained to Lin Shanhe: "We made a misjudgment. There was a way out in this place at the beginning, but after a certain number of steps, we can only move forward."
Backing up, I tried walking down, but was forced back by the field.”
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Then just stay where you are and don't move."
Leng Yue explained: "Standing still, the pressure on the current step will gradually increase. It will not be obvious at first, but the pressure will increase faster and faster. If you don't move forward, you will be crushed directly."
Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this and looked down again. It turned out that these strong men died like this. After climbing the ladder to heaven beyond a certain level, there was no way out, so they died here.
Because the area below was covered by a field, Lu Chen and others were unable to view the remains in detail, so it was unclear whether they were exploring it all at once.
But he thought that these people would not be so stupid, and they should also conduct trials in stages. But in the end, so many people died, which only shows that there is something hidden deep in the ruins that is too tempting, and everyone who has cultivated to the Star Universe level
A strong person always has his own arrogance.
They think that they are invincible at the same level and can reach the end of this ladder.
"There is some trouble. They are too far away from me, beyond the transmission range of that thing."
Qianxue sent a message to Lu Chen that she was currently staying on the 86,000th step of the stone platform and basically stopped moving. She had almost reached her limit.
Lu Chen only felt a little overwhelmed. Could it be that he and others were going to die on the ladder like those powerful men below?
He knew what Qianxue meant. If he didn't move on now, Qianxue could still use props to take him away, but Leng Yue and the others had nothing to do.
If you choose to continue walking up, you will be out of Qianxue's pulling range.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, "I'll keep walking and see if the ladder will change after I walk through it."
He and Leng Yue have not known each other for a long time, but they can be regarded as friends who have worked together several times. This time, he roped in others to help and did not leave others alone.
Lin Shanhe is an enthusiastic young man, and they are very happy to get along with each other. Strictly speaking, he has pulled him down. If he and Qian Xue were to teleport away directly, it would be difficult both emotionally and rationally.
More importantly, he has not yet opened the Divine Forbidden City. He thinks he has a chance to walk through this ladder, and he wants to see what is on it!
"Brother Lu, come on, if you can get through, you will definitely be the number one genius under the stars!"
Lin Shanhe was forced to go up another level by the pressure below, but he didn't feel any better, because the pressure became stronger and stronger as he went up.
His forehead was sweating, and he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, "I remembered it! This is the legendary dragon ladder. I once read about it in an orphan book dug out from the ruins. I thought it was a myth.
I made it up, I didn’t expect it to actually exist.”
With excitement on his face, he looked at the ladder again and patted his head, "Why didn't I think of it before? Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, the number ninety-five, means the position of the Supreme.
This is the legendary True Dragon Trial, and the Nine-Five Lord is the only one. After this trial is passed, the field should be lifted!"
Lu Chen's eyes were strange, "Brother Lin, next time there is such news, can you tell me earlier?"
Lin Shanhe was also embarrassed, "Wasn't this why I was stunned by the group of fossils on the ground before?"
"Whether it's a guess or a psychological comfort, I'll take a walk first."
Lu Chen turned around and looked at the finish line at the top again. He still had more than 10,000 steps to go.
At present, it seems that he can still withstand the various pressures on the ladder, but he feels that after the 90,000th level, it will become increasingly difficult.
"God Lu, it's all up to you. I don't want to die here!"
Mo Yu also shouted from below, but there was not much hope or nervousness on her face. Obviously, as a pioneer, she also had a special escape route.
Lu Chen didn't reply. At this height, there was no room for him to be distracted when climbing the ladder to heaven.
The secret blood of God in his body surged like a river, and five golden figures appeared in the Dao Palace, chanting the Emperor Wu Sutra, and the roar echoed between heaven and earth.
With each level he ascended, his energy and blood became stronger. The Earthshaker effect of the Berserker suit helped him get a lot of help in the process of climbing the ladder, making his body more stable.
Finally, an hour later, Lu Chen stepped onto the 90,000-step stone platform.
After passing this stage, the entire ladder bloomed with magnificent golden light, and golden light spots swayed and floated in the air like fireflies, as if they were leading to the kingdom of heaven.
The golden light was the brightest where Lu Chen was, and his whole body was enveloped in it, like a king ascending the throne.
The pressure suddenly increased, and Lu Chen had to greatly stimulate the potential in his body, and his temporary attributes increased by two points to resist the sudden increase in pressure.
After he walked hundreds of steps, various terrifying taboo killing methods attacked him, and he had to pull out the Regicide to resist the enemy within a limited range of movement.
This is a great test for his force-relieving skills. Once he cannot defeat the attacking forces directed at him, he will suffer from the counter-shock force and his body will become unstable.
No matter whether he retreated or turned left or right, it was a dead end. He could only move forward.
The people below were sweating when they saw Lu Chen's back and the more and more dangerous taboo killing methods fired from the void.
Three days later, at the 97,000th level, Lu Chen's body sank slightly on the stone platform. The bloody fighting spirit condensed on the surface of his body. The Berserker Suit emerged. The muscles all over his body were tangled, and he slashed out with the regicide sword.
