Above all spirits

Chapter 82 The Summit of the Heavenly Ladder! (6)

"I will! I will definitely obtain the Emperor's favor for you, young master!"

Hongxiu clenched her fist to encourage herself, her eyes filled with determination.

Gu Yun chuckled helplessly.

"It's not for me, it's for yourself!"

"It seems I was wrong. The Emperor's will should be unconscious and unable to choose people."

"Otherwise, I really don't know why the Emperor's Will of Life and Death would choose you."

Gu Yun decided not to linger any longer, as he had already stayed there for quite a while.

With a flash, he disappeared into the air.

All that remains is the cold, indifferent blue ranking.

First place, 64th step of the Heavenly Ladder, Hongxiu, invited by Wentian Academy.

...

"Clap."

step.

The Heavenly Ladder has sixty-five steps.

"Clap."

Another step.

The Heavenly Ladder has sixty-six steps.

...

With the combined blessing of the two strands of life and death intent, Hongxiu's entire body was enhanced in every aspect.

In particular, their mental resilience has been greatly improved.

Originally, it was just a small shrimp drifting with the tide.

Now it has transformed.

It transformed into a carp that could swim against the current.

From having to stoop to move forward steadily, to now being able to move forward steadily.

A gray aura swirled around the red-sleeved figure.

Like a suit of armor.

Protect and safeguard her.

Although the amount of Qi of a first-level mortal is far less than that of Feng Linkong, who is at the peak of the mortal realm.

The visual effects are less than satisfactory.

but!

Unlike the previous exclamations!

All those on the platform, whose cultivation was quite strong, were frowning and deep in thought.

Because within this gray, mortal aura.

They actually sensed a slight threat.

This made them feel strange.

This!

This is precisely the domineering nature of the Emperor's will regarding life and death.

No matter how big the gap is.

Even a mortal body against a person with innate talent.

It will inevitably cause harm.

Moreover, it cannot be recovered in a short period of time.

Gu Yun had personally experienced it.

Putting aside the physical damage, this life-and-death intent is indeed quite something; even his half-demon body can lose blood.

However, the difference in life status is still too great.

There are far too many ways to indirectly restore the body.

It had absolutely no way to influence the overall battle situation.

The main point is to infuse the power of life and death into the soul.

Soul techniques performed with soul power enhanced by the will to live or die can cause actual damage to the opponent's soul.

That's the real trump card that allows you to fight beyond your level.

Damage to the soul is irrelevant regardless of your soul level or rank.

Even in the alpha dimension, it is very difficult to recover, and even if it were possible, the cost would be beyond what ordinary people can afford.

Most people only have one way.

That is to go to the other side for a long time to nurture and repair.

But is the other shore a place where living beings can come and go as they please?

In battle, would you dare to detach yourself from your physical body?

It would be more direct to just cut off the head and give it to someone else.

Therefore, when fighting someone who possesses the will of life and death, one must never engage in a protracted war; a swift victory is essential.

Otherwise, if the soul is severely damaged, at best, repair will cease; at worst, the soul will die.

And the result of trading one's soul to the devil.

To become a walking corpse.

...

Between the sixtieth and seventieth steps, Hongxiu did not feel much resistance and continued to climb at a steady pace.

It's a constant cycle of enduring pressure, adapting to pressure, and processing pressure.

Only when you step onto the seventy-first step.

Hongxiu then began to feel the cracking sound of her bones again.

However, thanks to the nourishment of Gu Yun's innate energy, Hongxiu no longer needs to worry about any abnormalities in her physical body.

Just keep moving forward until you lose all awareness!

This is also true.

The once quiet stage was suddenly filled with a cacophony of voices, exclamations of surprise, and questions.

"Holy crap, is he cheating?!"

"Cheating! I'm reporting it!"

"They definitely cheated. It must have been that man in black who tampered with it."

"Come on, you can't do it yourself, so you start finding fault with others. The dean didn't say anything, so how come that man in black has a background that surpasses the dean?"

"Then how do you explain her suddenly appearing as if she's been fully revived, climbing seven floors in one breath without even breaking a sweat? That wasn't from the first to the seventh level, it was from the sixty-fourth to the seventy-first level!"

"I reckon they have their own trump card. Anyway, I trust the dean!"

"That's true. Wentian Academy has never had any scandals in the past three hundred years. It has always acted in accordance with the rules!"

"Naive, that's all been suppressed!"

"You want to argue, huh!"

...

Upon seeing this, Han Tian and Liu Qingyun had the same thought.

The will to decide life and death is undoubtedly the Emperor's will.

Although the widely circulated rumors about the emperor's will to kill are indeed true, rumors are ultimately just rumors.

Some things can only be judged by seeing them with your own eyes.

Some were delighted, others were amazed.

Naturally, some people are worried.

An old man in black robes sat in the center of the banquet table.

This person is none other than Feng Jue, the head of the Feng family.

Unlike Han Tian's otherworldly and otherworldly demeanor.

Feng Jue was dignified and upright, exuding an undeniable sense of pressure.

As for cultivation.

In the capital city, the position of patriarch of the six major families, except for the Shang family patriarch, is basically a requirement of being at the ninth level of the Holy Body.

In this world where strength reigns supreme.

Without strength, there is no voice.

So time hasn't left any marks on his face either.

Feng Jue looked at Feng Linkong, who was staring intently at the woman still climbing the Heavenly Ladder, and offered words of comfort.

"Kong'er, don't worry too much. You are the most outstanding talent in the Feng family for hundreds of years, and you are my pride. How can you be so insecure? Although we didn't break Ling Wuque's record this time, we didn't lose, did we?"

"It's not worth it to deal with a woman from outside our clan, who is neither royalty nor from any major sect or sect on another planet."

The Canglan Empire has relatively few sects and factions; most exist in the form of families.

Feng Lingkong, however, disagreed and analyzed the situation seriously.

“Father, you don’t know this, but to be able to climb so efficiently between the sixty and seventy steps, the final result will be at least eighty steps or more.”

He waved his hand dismissively, showing slight disdain.

"Kong'er, you're overthinking it. This woman's condition is just a temporary resurgence. Who knows how much sweat and hardship you endured to get this first place?"

"Your father has seen it all; this first place is definitely yours."

The first place will inevitably belong to the Feng family.

Of course, this statement was never uttered.

Although Feng Jue tried repeatedly to comfort Feng Linkong and reassure him.

But he never said anything about not being number one.

Being number one on the leaderboard is not only a personal achievement, but also a glory for the entire family.

This is something that cannot be severed.

As for the second, third, and even lower rankings, they didn't actually feel much pressure from Hongxiu's explosive performance.

Because people always remember the first place the most.

There's not much difference between the second and third.

Some people even prefer to see the first place winner change places; the onlookers never mind a good drama.

And before the echoes of the sealed words had even faded.

The list has been changed again.

First place, eighty-one steps of the Heavenly Ladder, Hongxiu, invited by Wentian Academy.

At that moment, the pressure of sealing off the area instantly increased.

He adopted the same posture as Feng Lingkong before, his eyes never leaving the woman on the steps of the Heavenly Ladder.

Feng Lingkong clenched his fists, secretly regretting why he had descended the steps so easily.

If I were to give him another chance…
