132: Nangong Batian and his four companions entered the ladder! The 100th step!

Facing the attacks of the giant stone guards, the Cultivators of the two races were no match at all, and could even be said to have no power to resist.

Even when the Emperor Child successors of Emperor-level forces, whose cultivation had reached the fifth or sixth heaven of the King Realm and possessed certain cross-realm combat abilities, joined forces, they could only temporarily hold on when facing hundreds or thousands of giant stone guards; defeat was merely a matter of time.

Even Nangong Batian, Qingyue Fairy, Little Peng King, and Yan Mie were being beaten back step by step at this moment.

"Damn it! If this continues, there's no way we can break through..."

Little Peng King said with an ugly expression.

As a super Prodigy of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan, when had he ever felt so stifled!

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. He had tried his best, but it was still not enough.

"Damn it!"

Yan Mie beside him also let out a low growl, his face ashen.

A minute later, all the Cultivators of the two races who had previously charged into the stone corridor fled in disarray and returned outside.

At a certain moment, suddenly, Nangong Batian spoke to the many prodigies from non-overlord forces:

"Fellow Daoists, are you willing to fully assist me in entering the third heaven? As long as Fellow Daoists are willing to help this Emperor Child enter the third heaven, regardless of whether you obtain treasures or inheritances there, my Nangong Imperial Clan will provide generous rewards after we leave."

"Furthermore, Fellow Daoists and the forces you belong to will become friends of my Nangong Imperial Clan!"

He actually wanted everyone to work together to help him enter the third heaven!

He even painted a huge pie for this.

If hundreds of prodigies worked together to help him, holding back most of the giant stone guards, with Nangong Batian's strength and methods, it was indeed possible to help him succeed...

Upon hearing Nangong Batian's words, Qingyue Fairy, Little Peng King, and Yan Mie's eyes all lit up. They joined in one after another, giving the crowd a pile of promises.

And upon hearing the four people's promises, the Cultivators were all moved...

After all, putting aside everything else, just the favor of an overlord force was enough to save oneself or the force one belonged to at a critical moment!

Thus, many Cultivators agreed to enter one after another. After all, with their strength, they definitely wouldn't be able to enter the third heaven, so they might as well make a move and exchange it for the favor of an overlord force successor.

"South Palace Emperor Child, I am willing to help you!"

"Qingyue Fairy, this is my honor!"

"Your Highness Little Peng King, Your Highness Yan Mie, we of the Demon Clan shall naturally assist you!"

...

Not long after, hundreds, nearly a thousand Cultivators, swarmed into the stone corridor, blocking most of the giant stone guards for Qingyue Fairy and the other three.

And the four also desperately charged towards the stone door.

In the end...

They actually succeeded!

Qingyue Fairy and the other three successfully entered through the stone door...

...

After defeating the second phantom, Lin Xuan looked up at the heavenly ladder that reached straight into the clouds.

"A mere heavenly ladder, how can it stop me?" Lin Xuan chuckled lightly, took a step, and directly stepped onto the 21st step.

Boom!

A heavy pressure instantly descended, as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.

However, this level of gravity was merely a tickle to Lin Xuan.

His steps did not stop, his figure was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed onto the thirtieth step.

Buzz!

On the thirtieth step, a phantom slowly condensed. It was a young man holding a long spear, his gaze cold and his Aura intimidating.

"Defeat me, and you may continue forward." The phantom spoke coldly, shaking his long spear and pointing it directly at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's lips curved slightly. He didn't even take out his weapon, merely raised his hand and slashed out with a sword strike.

And the young phantom also thrust fiercely with his long spear, engaging in a great battle with Lin Xuan...

"Boom..."

"Buzz..."

...

This phantom was much stronger than the previous two phantoms, but Lin Xuan was like an unparalleled sword immortal. No matter who you were, he would simply cut you down with his sword!

Sure enough, Lin Xuan's sword energy was like a dragon, instantly tearing through the phantom's defense and smashing it to pieces.

"Still not enough." Lin Xuan shook his head and continued to climb upward.

Twenty steps, thirty steps, forty steps... Lin Xuan's speed did not slow down in the slightest. The gravity suppression on each step was like nothing to him.

And the phantom prodigies who blocked his path were also defeated by him one by one, without exception.

At the same time, Ye Bingning and Ye Haotian on the other side were also challenging the heavenly ladder.

Ye Bingning's figure was as light as a swallow. Every step was as if she was stepping on clouds, elegant and composed.

Her attacks were even more terrifying; everything in her path was frozen!

Although her speed was not as rapid as Lin Xuan's, every step was as steady as Mount Tai, and she was clearly moving with ease.

Ye Haotian was also constantly advancing. He was incredibly brave when facing the phantoms, and his speed was only slightly slower than Lin Xuan's and Ye Bingning's.

And Qingyue Fairy and the other three, who had reached the heavenly ladder relying on many Cultivators, were also advancing upwards against the heavy pressure. Unfortunately, at the tenth step, they encountered the armored young man phantom.

The four, who had always been confident and invincible, finally experienced what true strength was called! True invincibility!

Nangong Batian, who had been taught a lesson by Lin Xuan, was an exception...

The four exerted all their strength but still couldn't injure him in the slightest. In the end, they were struck off the heavenly ladder by the phantom one by one and disappeared...

...

Lin Xuan pushed forward all the way and quickly stepped onto the ninetieth step.

The gravity here had reached ninety times, and even he felt immense pressure.

However, his eyes remained firm, without the slightest hint of retreat.

"The phantom on the ninetieth step should be a bit interesting now," Lin Xuan muttered softly, looking ahead.

As expected, the next moment, a phantom slowly condensed.

It was a man in a black robe, holding a blood-colored long saber, emitting a strong killing intent all over his body.

The powerful Aura and dangerous presence emanating from him were even greater than that of the Divine Phoenix woman he defeated on the eightieth step!

In front of him, Nangong Batian might not even be able to last 10 rounds.

"Kill!"

The black-robed man didn't waste words. He directly slashed out with his saber. The blood-colored saber light was like a bolt of silk, instantly tearing through space and slashing towards Lin Xuan.

A trace of fighting intent flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and he took out his weapon, the long sword.

"Hum..."

Terrifying Sword Intent erupted from his entire body. Everything around him retreated in fear before this ultimate Sword Intent.

The next moment

A sword light flashed, and the white sword energy carrying terrifying Sword Intent instantly collided with the blood-colored saber light.

"Rumble..."

Immediately, an earth-shattering roar erupted.

"A bit interesting, again."

Lin Xuan chuckled lightly, his figure flashed, and he directly charged towards the black-robed man.

The black-robed man was also unwilling to show weakness and rushed towards Lin Xuan.

The two instantly engaged in battle. Sword light and saber shadows intertwined, erupting with terrifying energy fluctuations.

The two sides fought for hundreds of rounds. In the end, the black-robed man was defeated. Lin Xuan shattered the black-robed man's phantom with a single sword strike.

"Still not strong enough," Lin Xuan shook his head and continued climbing upward.

Not long after

Finally, he stepped onto the hundredth step.

At the same time, he discovered that there was no path ahead. This was the last step of this heavenly ladder!
