Chapter 631: Chapter 331: Energy Seed_2
“Where will he go…” Xiao Qingyu thought of a young boy dressed in a Star Robe, surrounded by a constant smile. His beautiful eyes shone brightly as he pondered.
Time passed, and it was quickly an hour since Lu Yun had ascended to the 8000th step.
Heng Chong, the Dominator, stared intently at Lu Yun who was on the Trial Heavenly Stair, emanating divine power and surrounded by golden streams.
The green-robed middle-aged man also fixed his gaze on Lu Yun at this time.
The man he had chosen, Zhang Henshui, had completed his trial and his performance did not disappoint.
Next, he wanted to see how this teenager, who had become involved with the immortal entity of the Green Flame Palace, would perform.
At this moment, Lu Yun emanated a much stronger divine power than before. Behind him, the golden elephant he had conjured continued to grow more substantial.
After another 8000 Elephant Microparticles awakened within his body, he slowly rose to his feet.
The daunting roars of the 46000 elephants echoed and the war intentions they exuded shook the imposing pressure.
As he completely stood up, the golden elephant behind him seemed to prop up the sky, standing tall and proud.
Under the dazzling sunlight, a hint of Golden Light appeared in Lu Yun’s eyes, although it was unclear whether it was due to the direct sunlight.
The mighty divine power erupted, he abruptly raised his right foot then placed it down onto the next step of the ladder, the 8001st.
The residual waves from the collision of the divine power and the pressure blew his clothes and caused his hair to flutter violently.
Ordinary people’s hair would have been ground to dust under such terrifying pressure.
Lu Yun’s hair, after numerous transformations, had reached an incredible state.
The moment his right foot landed, all the power within Lu Yun erupted, the strongest since he began the Trial Heavenly Stair.
He knew that with less than two hours left, he must be more forceful to earn another opportunity.
The golden divine elephant roared, the Great Sun Undying Golden Body was operating, the golden sun rose.
With the two suns in the sky, his divine power surged. Lu Yun took firm steps forward.
Step 8002… Step 8009… Step 8014…
Even though he was exerting all his strength, his speed was not as fast as when he was ascending from the 7000th to the 8000th step.
Furthermore, his speed began to slow down, from two steps per breath at the beginning to one step per breath later on.
As he continued, his speed slowed further, it took two breaths to cross a single step.
When Lu Yun reached step 8799, he stopped. His body was covered in sweat, his breathing was rapid, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was constantly rumbling.
This was the first time he had stopped midway, not due to practicing the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.
Enormous pressure piled upon him in layers, quickly battering his body. The clash of the remaining divine power and pressure enveloped him in a powerful turbulence.
If he moved forward again, the balance of divine power and pressure would be utterly shattered.
At that time, all that waited for him would be elimination.
“I can’t rush it, I still have a chance…” Standing there, Lu Yun looked up to the 9000th step, determination flashing in his eyes.
About half an hour later, relying on his incredible recovery ability, he stepped forward again.
With each step, his body would tremble and a substantial amount of sweat would gather on his forehead.
The tremendously powerful pressure blocked his way but his determination, unspeakable resolve, and the mighty war intentions influenced by the giant elephant kept him standing under this pressure.
Just like a solitary sail struggling forward in a raging storm and crashing waves.
“My goal is the 9000th step, and there is no one who can stop me…” Lu Yun said softly, a whisper so light even he couldn’t hear it.
The sun soared high and the time for the trial was getting closer, the people from the square outside began to get anxious.
“Can Lu Yun ascend the 9000th step and create a legend?”
As they watched the line of information about Lu Yun on the expiration board, they noticed that even though he was getting closer to the 9000th step, his steps were slowing down.
It took him nearly five or six breaths to take a single step.
The closer to the end, the more terrifying this pressure, and it was expected that Lu Yun’s speed would drop even more.
And time waits for no one; the trial end time was approaching rapidly.
Most people began to waver.
“Being able to walk so far beyond the 8000th step, he is already enough to become a legend.” Wuchen shook his head slightly.
“It’s a pity there is not enough time…” A hint of regret flashed in Yuan Yao’s eyes. She evidently did not believe that Lu Yun could reach the 9000th step before the end of the trial.
At this moment, Lu Yun was soaked in sweat, leaving wet trails wherever he went.
Still, the steadfastness and stubbornness in his eyes had not lessened but had instead grown stronger.
One step… One more step… moving ahead slowly.
Step 8921…
Step 8922…
With formidable willpower and recovery power, he finally reached the 8990th step.
At that time, there were slightly less than a quarter of an hour left.
Based on his prior speed, by the end of the time, he could only reach the 8999th step at most.
This was under the condition that the pressure was constantly rising and his pace remained unchanged.
After Lu Yun stepped with his left foot, he was at the 8991st step.
