Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C221 Difficult to Ascend to Heaven(part Ii)

When they reached the fourth step, everyone could feel a strong repulsive force spreading from the bottom of their feet to their entire body. Not to mention taking a step, it was extremely tiring to even move a bit.

Very quickly, the formation of people climbing up the Sky Stairway was no longer neat and orderly. Only Ye Ling, Chu Feng, Zhao Ting, and Zhao Yu effortlessly ascended the fifth step.

In truth, from the moment she stepped onto the Sky Stairway, Zi Ling hadn’t felt any resistance. Even though she had reached the sixth step, she still hadn’t felt any resistance.

Even Chu Feng, Zhao Ting and the others were not as relaxed as the first five steps.

Zi Ling only took a glance and did not pay attention to Chu Feng and the others. Instead, her gaze landed on Lei Yu and Ye Shan who were on the 8th step. Her eyes flashed and she easily landed on the 7th step.

When he reached the seventh step, a much stronger pressure suddenly came crashing in. The purple silk immediately circulated the spiritual energy in her body, and the overwhelming pressure barely dispersed. However, this level of pressure was still unable to stop her. She only stayed there for a moment before she once again stepped onto the 8th step.

Although she was mentally prepared, she still underestimated the difference in pressure between every step when she climbed the Sky Stairway. When her legs landed on the eighth step, a pressure ten times stronger than before pressed down on her body.

She immediately channeled her spirit energy to dissolve the increasing pressure on her body. The spirit energy was like a valve opening, constantly being consumed by the pressure of the Heaven Stairway.

She frowned, a drop of sweat rolling down her temple and landing on the eighth step with a clatter.

She finally understood why it was so difficult for these people to leave. They cultivated profound energy, and were not as pure as spirit energy. When facing the pressure of the Heaven Stairway, the purer the aura in their body, the easier it was to resist. Even so, she was under a lot of pressure on the eighth step.

With great difficulty, he managed to use his spiritual energy to dissolve more than half of the pressure. Feeling a bit relaxed, he felt two burning gazes on him.

Without even thinking, she knew who it was. She didn’t have the time or the mood to pay attention to those two.

Seeing that her reaction was more relaxed than his and Ye Shan’s, Lei Yu seemed to have extra strength to spare. In fact, in his heart, he was hoping that Zi Ling was just an ordinary Xuan Wu Disciple, that way he would be able to easily obtain her. However, in the few times they made contact in the illusion world, she had broken through his understanding time and time again.

He stared at that graceful figure, and the desire to subdue her even more stirred in his heart.

Ye Shan’s hand hidden in his sleeve was already full of blue veins. Her sweat-drenched face was also a bit messy, and her face was not so exquisite and enchanting. Instead, it was a bit malevolent with excessive strength. It was just that she didn’t know if it was due to the pressure from climbing the Sky Stairway, or her hatred towards Zi Ling, or both.

The burning gazes from both sides didn’t affect Zi Ling in the slightest. After she finally dispelled the pressure on her, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Under Lei Yu’s and Ye Shan’s gaze, Zi Ling lifted her feet and stood firmly on the ninth step.

In the span of a few breaths, Zi Ling went from the seventh level to the eighth level. It was as if she was taking a walk in her own backyard.

Was the purple silk relaxed? Actually, it was not that easy, but in their eyes, the pressure of her being able to overcome the pressure of the Heaven Stairway could only be described as light and relaxed.

Ye Shan stared at Zi Ling’s back with her almond-shaped eyes. If looks could kill, she would have already killed Zi Ling a hundred times over.

Long after she had taken Ye Ling’s Xuan Core, she knew that she wouldn’t have to look up to him anymore. On the contrary, she could stand at an extremely high place and look down at her sister, who would never be able to climb up to her.

But now, her knowledge had been completely destroyed. Ye Ling, who she could only look up to for her entire life, had actually stood on the ninth step. She could only see the other party’s leisurely back.

Why! Why did this happen? Why did Ye Ling, who had just lost his Xuan Core, stand even higher than her!

It was as if she had fallen into a devil’s trap. Before the profound energy in her body had fully recovered, she had actually used all her strength to take a step forward.

Beng …

It was as if something had exploded inside her body. The pain made Ye Shan flinch, and her whole body began to tremble violently.

Although Zi Ling didn’t look at Ye Shan, her divine sense had been keeping an eye on her. All of her reactions naturally didn’t escape her eyes.

The corner of Zi Ling’s mouth curled into a sneer as she looked at Ye Shan, who was standing at the ninth rank and eighth rank, “This is the difference between you and me. Don’t think that you can soar to the heavens just by stealing my Xuan Core …” Her eyes were full of scorn, making Ye Shan so angry that he almost vomited blood and fainted.

“Ye Shan, I want you to fall as high as you can. Just you wait …” My good sister. ”

After she finished speaking, Zi Ling didn’t even bother to look at her again. She lifted her foot and steadily stood on the tenth step.

She was the first to reach the top, and everyone noticed her.

Apart from a few people, there were many people here that didn’t know where Zi Ling had come from, so why didn’t the Profound General Stage Lei Yu and Little Phoenix ascend to the stage first? Instead, they saw an unfamiliar face.

Chu Feng, who came and went as a result, suppressed many people who were standing at the seventh level while staring at her back. Chu Feng, who was at the seventh level, stared at her back, but there was no admiration in his eyes.

Chu Feng’s talent was not weak and he was only a step away from breaking into the Profound General Stage. No one knew how much perseverance he had, and at that moment, as he stood on the 8th step, although his straight and long legs were slightly trembling, his eyes were clear and firm. He quickly recovered his profound energy and wanted to get closer to that person.

Lei Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked at Chu Feng, then back at Zi Ling, and he heard the conversation between the two of them. When he knew that Ye Shan had stolen Ye Ling’s Golden Phoenix Body, a hint of surprise flashed through his long and narrow eyes. However, he immediately felt that this woman was even more unfathomable.

Zi Ling didn’t turn her head to look back, so she naturally wouldn’t see the complicated expressions in everyone’s eyes.

The pressure of the ninth level was ten times more than the pressure of the eighth level. Even Zi Ling’s legs were trembling and her breathing became ragged. She stopped thinking and immediately circulated her spiritual energy to resist the pressure.

After an unknown period of time, she opened her eyes. The oppressive aura around her had disappeared, and there was no one around her.

She caught her breath and looked up. There was only one more step before she reached the top.

Taking a step up, she stood at the highest point of the Heaven Stairway. A heavy pressure swept over from all directions. Zi Ling felt as though her chest was struck by a hammer and she almost vomited a mouthful of blood. She immediately grabbed the spiritual energy and madly absorbed it, only then was she barely able to fight against the pressure on the mountain peak.

With great difficulty, she managed to stabilize the tyrannical pressure. Zi Ling heaved a long sigh of relief.

Climbing the Sky Stairway was indeed as difficult as climbing to the sky. She had taken advantage of the spiritual energy in her body and spent some effort to reach the top, which was extremely difficult for them. One could imagine how difficult it was for the Xuan Wu Warriors below to resolve this pressure.

However, she did not have the time or the mood to sigh with emotion. Since she was the first person to reach the top, she naturally had to seize this opportunity. After all, the artifact spirit of the Chaos Pearl was sleeping deeply in order to help him increase his cultivation. She had to find the treasure that the artifact spirit needed before everyone else in order to help it awaken.

The Chaos Pearl was different from before. Before, it was covered in dust, but after absorbing the God Dragon Marrow, it had recovered its spirit. However, in order to recover to its peak state, it still needed many heavenly and earthly treasures. However, this time, the artifact spirit had consumed all of his strength to help her, so the Chaotic Bead wasn’t damaged. Thus, as long as it had time, it would naturally recover after devouring a few spiritual items. Of course, he didn’t need such a precious treasure as the Divine Dragon Marrow.

He only took a few steps forward before a huge door appeared in front of him.

Zi Ling raised her head to look. This palace door was several dozen zhang tall and several zhang wide, making her seem extremely small standing here.

There was nothing on the top of the hill but the door.

Do you want to go in?

With that thought, Zi Ling made her decision. If they were all here, why didn’t she go in?

She only paused at the entrance of the hall for a moment, then began to walk closer. Although her steps were light, her spiritual sense was very alert of her surroundings.

When they were three feet from the door, the door suddenly opened in two directions, revealing a vast expanse of white space in front of Zi Ling. Inside, the clouds were misty and exuding a resplendent light. With just a glance, Zi Ling wrinkled her brows because she couldn’t see anything clearly.

Zi Ling only hesitated for a moment before entering.

After Zi Ling entered the main hall, other than Lei Yu who had reached the ninth step, the rest of the people were still below the eighth step. Even Ye Shan, who had half a foot stepped into the ninth rank, was forced to withdraw her legs under the immense pressure.

At this moment, Chu Feng, who was standing on the eighth floor, had his eyes tightly closed. It was unknown what he was doing.

Other than Zi Ling, no one could see that door. Everyone had to step onto the Sky Stairway to be able to see it. Lei Yu, of course, was no exception. He only saw the purple silk ribbon suddenly disappear into the distance a few dozen feet in front of him. He could not figure it out, he just wanted to leave the Heaven Stairway and catch up.

He did not even use a hundred percent of his strength. Now that he saw that the purple silk had disappeared, the profound energy around his body suddenly surged. He only stopped for less than a quarter of an hour before he once again stepped onto the tenth step.

Lei Yu took a deep breath, trembled and retracted his back leg. Enduring the immense pressure, he began to stubbornly resist.

At this time, a strong gust of wind suddenly came from the eighth step, causing everyone on the Heaven Stairway to be unable to open their eyes.

After a good while, they finally adapted to the wind power and opened their eyes. They saw the surging profound energy around Chu Feng on the eighth floor.

Zhao Ting, Huang Ying, and the other disciples of the Divine Mysterious Gate all opened their eyes wide with pleasant surprise. They knew that this was a sign of a breakthrough.

Chu Feng was not even 30 years old and he was already at peak late-stage Mysterious Master. He thought that he would need a few years to consolidate his cultivation before he could advance to the Xuan General level. He didn’t expect to break through so quickly.

A Profound General that was not even thirty years old. If this news were to spread, Chu Feng’s reputation would certainly surpass Lei Yu’s.

She had seized Ye Ling’s Golden Phoenix Physique, so there was no need to mention her talent. However, she had used too many of those medicines in the later stages because her foundation was not stable enough. Even though she was also a Profound General in her twenties, in terms of actual combat, she was still inferior to Lei Yu and Chu Feng.

Lei Yu who was above the tenth level slowly resisted the pressure of the Sky Stairway. He slowly turned his head and saw Chu Feng breaking through. His eyes flashed with a fierce light. This man was the hope of the next generation and also Ye Ling’s fiance.

With this thought, Lei Yu made up his mind. If there was a chance, he would finish him here. However, it was more important to be serious now. He squinted his eyes and quickly withdrew his gaze from Chu Feng. Then, he started to walk forward. Before long, a huge hall door also appeared in front of him.

Almost without hesitation, he followed after Zi Ling and entered the door.

When Zi Ling stepped through the doorway, the scenery around her changed. What appeared before her was an empty hall, with only four golden pillars and eight doors.

The spacious hall made Zi Ling feel slightly stifled. She looked around carefully and walked slowly, looking at the eight doors as she did so.

But when she paced back and forth a thousand times, she could not see anything wrong with the eight identical doors. Based on her many years of experience in her previous life, such a place would definitely be extremely dangerous.

Her eyes swept over the doors again, and she frowned. Which one of these doors is the real one?

Her moment of hesitation lasted for quite some time, and a “bo” sound rang out from behind her. Zi Ling turned her head and saw a black-cloaked, black-haired Lei Yu striding towards her.

Zi Ling subconsciously tightened her spine and her eyebrows creased. Although she had delayed quite a bit of time, she had never expected that Lei Yu would appear so soon in the great hall.

Seeing Zi Ling, he revealed an arrogant look on his face. “You think that you can escape from me by reaching the top before me?”

Having reached the peak of the early Aurous Core stage, she was not afraid of Lei Yu, who was at the peak of the early Xuan General Stage. She raised her eyebrows and calmly asked, “You want to try?”
