Chapter 645 Ancient Gods and Demons Resurrect, Soul-Destroying Gods and Demons, and the Immortal Fle
Ye Tian took a step forward, and the Great Dao runes beneath his feet spontaneously emerged, weaving together to form a hazy path of light.
He didn't move, but the space around him rippled violently like water.
It wasn't the violent energy bursts of before, but rather a mysterious fluctuation that seemed to resonate with the very essence of the entire Heavenly Ladder.
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of countless people below.
Ye Tian's figure moved like lightning.
It's as if time is flowing backward beneath their feet.
With each step, the bluestone steps beneath my feet receded at a dizzying speed!
He directly bypassed the area where Su Changge and the others were still struggling to climb below!
Fifty-one, fifty-two... fifty-nine!
The speed didn't decrease at all!
Even more so than when he took ten steps at a time, he exuded a leisurely and composed air!
The vast and terrifying pressure, far exceeding that of the fiftieth level, descended upon the sixtieth level region like a million ancient divine mountains.
His figure was steady and solid.
One step! From the fifty-first step, straight to the sixtieth step!
Another ten steps!
"..."
Below in the plaza, countless prodigies looked up at the white-clad figure who seemed to stand in the clouds like a celestial palace, surrounded by a faint aura of chaos.
I felt as if an invisible hand was gripping my throat tightly, and my mind went completely blank.
After a long silence, a gasp suddenly shattered the stillness.
"impossible!"
A holy son from the ancient sacred land of the North Sea of the Heavens, with bloodshot eyes, appeared to be insane.
Pointing at the Heavenly Ladder, his voice was filled with horror, disbelief, and an unstable Dao heart.
"After the fiftieth level, the pressure increases exponentially, and the laws become like blades!"
Each step up was as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Su Changge possesses immortal bones and ranks second, but he is now struggling to advance to the forty-fifth level, his speed is more than ten times slower!
How could Ye Tian possibly advance ten levels in one step?!
"Does he own this ladder to heaven?!"
This sentence expresses the sentiments of the vast majority of the geniuses present.
After the fiftieth level, the heavy pressure of the Great Dao is a qualitative change, a chasm!
Look at the other geniuses, even the top few such as Su Changge, the Crown Prince of Yama, and the several supreme beings of the Eternal Immortal Realm.
They had long lost their previous composure; sweat beaded on their foreheads, and their divine light fluctuated violently.
Each step required a long period of breath control, carefully dealing with the suddenly intensified pressure and the occasional manifestation of inner demons and illusions.
This is the level of difficulty that the second half of the Heavenly Ladder should have!
This is the terrifying chasm that has blocked countless brilliant talents throughout history!
But Ye Tian... still walked on flat ground as if it were nothing!
The momentum is overwhelming!
It's even... easier than before.
This is completely beyond their comprehension!
This cannot be explained by innate talent or profound foundation.
Even... even if one has just broken through to the ninth level of the Supreme Realm, and has the support of the Heavenly Ladder Origin, it is still impossible.
This goes against common sense and tramples on the rules!
"Invincible... Is this the true form of invincibility?"
A young female prodigy murmured absentmindedly.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light; her initial awe had transformed into a kind of worship that bordered on faith.
"Could it be that today, we will truly witness history?"
Will this ancient, unassailable stairway to heaven be trampled underfoot?
A mature and composed prodigy spoke with a trembling voice, filled with immense excitement and anticipation.
"Bullshit! Wait until no one can climb the Heavenly Ladder!"
"Ye Tian has only progressed halfway, and his chances of reaching the summit are still full of uncertainties!"
Sharp rebuttals immediately rang out.
It was filled with jealousy and resentment at being unable to accept reality.
He was one of the dark prodigies who had previously gloated over the misfortune of others.
"After the sixtieth level, the pressure of the Great Dao becomes more inward and no longer manifests outward!"
The real terror lies with the gatekeepers! Have you forgotten the records in the ancient texts of the academy?
Another person spoke, their voice chilling.
"Indeed! The Heavenly Ladder was forged from a massive fragment of the battlefield of the heavens!"
It contains the fighting will of countless gods and demons who fell in ancient times, even the Immortal Era!
Starting from the 60th level, the imprints of these terrifying ancient beings will gradually manifest!
They are invincible among their peers, their methods are unpredictable and their fighting spirit is eternal!
That was the real death challenge!
"Soul-Destroying God and Demon, Bone-Eating Celestial Venerable, Undying Battle Immortal... Which of these names didn't once make an era tremble?"
Their mark is not so easy to erase.
Ye Tian was able to kill instantly before only because he was able to do so by relying on his physical constitution or supernatural abilities!
When faced with these truly ancient and invincible beings, he will surely…
Before he could finish speaking, his words came to an abrupt halt, as if his throat had been snapped.
Because, on the sixtieth step, an anomaly has occurred!
The light in the entire sixty-step area seemed to be instantly swallowed up, turning into absolute darkness.
A chilling, deathly aura, specifically targeting the very essence of the soul.
It spread silently like a tide.
This sent a chill down the spines of all the geniuses below, their souls trembling as if they were about to leave their bodies!
In the darkness, a blurry figure slowly materialized.
He wasn't particularly tall or burly; in fact, he was rather thin.
Its entire body has a semi-transparent gray-black color, as if it were constructed from the purest shadows and soul power.
There were no clear facial features, only a pair of empty, indifferent eyes that seemed to suck up all the life force.
He held a strangely shaped, semi-transparent short knife in his hand.
The blade meanders like a venomous snake's tongue, and the edge gleams with a ghostly light that would sting even the most divine soul!
Just standing there, there was a terrifying Daoist aura that could annihilate the soul and freeze the true spirit.
This caused countless geniuses below to turn pale and instinctively retreat, not daring to even look directly at them!
An extremely senior elder, responsible for guarding the library, suddenly gasped, his pupils contracted, and he cried out in alarm.
"Destroyer...Destroyer of Souls, one of the ancient gods and demons recorded in ancient books, born in the gap between the underworld and destruction, feeding on the souls of all spirits!"
He wields the Soul-Destroying Blade, which is used to slay the primordial spirit and true
What's even more terrifying is that its physical body exists between the real and the unreal, making it impervious to all attacks, making it invincible in another sense!
The guardian of the sixtieth level was actually him!
The expressions of the elders all became extremely solemn.
The infamous reputation of the Soul-Destroying Demon is still sporadically recorded in extremely ancient texts.
That was a bizarre existence that even True Immortals found daunting!
At that very moment, the grand and indifferent voice of the Great Dao resounded once again throughout the heavens and earth.
This time, however, it carried an unprecedented sense of both chilling tension and allure.
"Sixtieth level, gatekeeper: Soul Destroyer God and Demon."
"Rule: Defeat him within ten moves."
"Reward: Three pieces of the flesh and blood of the Soul-Destroying God and Demon, and the inheritance of its strongest divine power—'Soul-Slaying Annihilation'!"
As the voice of the Great Dao faded, another uproar erupted below!
"Ten moves? Are you kidding me! That's an ancient god or demon, an invincible being of the same level. It would be good enough if it could even last ten moves!"
"Original flesh and blood, and the inheritance of the strongest divine power, this reward... is too heaven-defying!"
"But how is that possible? The Soul-Destroying Demon God can switch between reality and illusion, specializing in attacking the soul, making him virtually invincible!"
Many young talents believe that this is almost an impossible task!
Ye Tian might be able to win, but defeating this strange being within ten moves would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The illusory image of the Soul-Destroying God and Demon instantly locked onto Ye Tian with its empty eyes.
Without any warning, the Soul-Destroying Blade in my hand trembled slightly.
laugh!
An invisible, terrifying blade of light specifically targeting the soul.
Ignoring spatial distance, it appeared directly in front of Ye Tian's brow, striking his primordial spirit!
Quick! Cunning! Ruthless!
The countless geniuses below didn't even see what happened; they only felt a sharp pain in their souls, as if they were being torn apart.
However, this soul-destroying strike was impossible to defend against and extremely vicious.
Ye Tian truly... moved.
He did not dodge, nor did he use any supernatural powers or magical treasures.
He simply raised his right hand slowly.
Then, he extended one finger.
index finger.
There was no divine light shining on the fingertips.
There was no fluctuation of any law.
There is only one ultimate "condensation" and "purity".
With that seemingly ordinary finger, he pointed with unparalleled precision at that invisible, terrifying blade of light that could annihilate the soul!
With flesh and blood, he directly confronted the Soul-Destroying Blade Intent that specifically targets and severs the soul!
"He's gone mad?!"
This thought simultaneously popped into the minds of many young prodigies.
But the next moment.
"Ding!"
A faint, yet clear, crisp sound resonated deep within everyone's souls, as if two supreme divine weapons had collided!
Ye Tian's fingertip collided precisely with the invisible Soul-Destroying Blade Light!
The imagined scene of fingers being severed and souls being torn apart did not occur.
The eerie and vicious Soul-Destroying Blade light seemed to encounter its nemesis the moment it touched Ye Tian's fingertips.
It shuddered violently, let out a mournful cry, and shattered into pieces, vanishing without a trace!
Ye Tian's fingers were completely unharmed, without even a scratch.
"what?!"
"Destroying the Soul Blade with a finger?!"
"Just how strong is his physical body, no, his soul!"
An uproar erupted below, everyone's eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Even the empty eyes of the Soul-Destroying Demon God seemed to flicker slightly.
Clearly, they hadn't expected their attack to be so easily neutralized in this way.
Suddenly, a silent shriek escaped, and its form became ethereal, as if it had merged into the shadows.
The next moment, countless invisible soul-destroying blade beams slashed at Ye Tian from all directions and from all sorts of incredible angles.
It was incredibly fast and incredibly unpredictable!
It was as if thousands upon thousands of soul-destroying demons were launching an attack simultaneously.
Ye Tian remained standing in the same spot, his expression calm.
He simply moved that finger slowly.
The movements appeared slow, yet they precisely met each incoming invisible blade of light.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
A series of fine, rapid, crisp sounds, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, rang out in unison.
All the bizarre and vicious, unpredictable and deadly soul-destroying blades.
Everything crumbled and annihilated before his finger!
One move! Two moves! Three moves!
In the blink of an eye, he had effortlessly neutralized nine of the Soul-Destroying Demon God's desperate and insane attacks!
Only one last move left!
The whole place was dead silent!
Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide with shock.
Clearly, they hadn't expected that a single finger's power, without launching any offensive, would so easily shatter the Soul-Destroying Demon God's killing move!
