Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 444: Descendants of Divine Beings

Upon hearing Ying Hongyu’s words, Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue shifted their gazes toward Huyan Ting.

They could naturally see that this person’s aptitude and power far surpassed that of the others; at least in terms of climbing the Celestial Ladder, he had already outstripped most and was leading the way by far.

Of course, there were several dozen other young men and women who, like Huyan Ting, were climbing at a rapid pace.

In just half a quarter of an hour, these individuals had already reached halfway up the Celestial Ladder, leaving the majority far behind.

However, at this time, their climbing speed finally began to slow.

It was evident that the pressure they were under had become much stronger than before.

"That girl’s climbing speed is so fast."

Xiao Ningyue’s gaze fell on a young girl in a yellow gauze dress, and she spoke in amazement.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie and Ying Hongyu also looked toward the girl in the yellow dress and indeed saw that her climbing speed was exceptionally fast.

Though she started much later than most, she quickly caught up to the others and began gaining on the dozens chasing Huyan Ting and crew.

"This young woman’s climbing speed seems even faster than that of Huyan Ting."

Wang Ruoxie also said, eyes filled with intrigue.

"She’s called Wen Qinglan; it’s said her ancestor was of the Divine Human Realm, bearing a bloodline beyond the Saint Tier to the Divine Tier. Her Cultivation and Martial Techniques are all Divine Techniques, making her outstanding among the young elites of the Canglan Sacred Domain."

Ying Hongyu gazed intently at the girl in the yellow dress with a touch of infatuation and said, "Not only that, her beauty is unmatched, an extraordinary beauty. Countless young men see her as their dream goddess."

Hearing Ying Hongyu’s words, Wang Ruoxie also nodded slightly, understanding why her climbing speed was so fast, given her lineage of the Divine Human Realm and Divine Tier bloodline.

As for Wen Qinglan’s beauty, it was truly unparalleled, comparable even with Xiao Ningyue.

Of course, according to different opinions, some might find Wen Qinglan even more beautiful. For instance, Ying Hongyu had barely taken his eyes off her since her appearance.

He had never looked at Xiao Ningyue this way, clearly finding Wen Qinglan to be the fairest.

At this moment, Wen Qinglan had already caught up to Huyan Ting and company, and was gradually overtaking them.

Every step she took covered two or three steps on the ladder, and soon she had reached the 500th step, entering the Fifth Heaven.

"What an impressive Wen Qinglan, I won’t lose to you!"

Huyan Ting shouted at Wen Qinglan’s receding figure and let out a long cry. Instantly, his speed surged as he too stepped into the Fifth Heaven.

However, from the sweat endlessly rolling down his forehead, it was clear he was exerting his full strength. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Yet, Wen Qinglan didn’t even glance back at Huyan Ting, continuing her climb at a leisurely pace.

The rest were unwilling to fall behind, each striving to catch up.

"Let’s begin as well."

Wang Ruoxie said to Xiao Ningyue and Ying Hongyu, and they each responded with a nod.

Without hesitation, the three of them stepped onto the first step.

"Boom!"

The moment they set foot on the steps, Wang Ruoxie and the group felt an overwhelming aura enveloping their entire bodies.

At the same time, they felt immense pressure bearing down on them.

This pressure posed little threat to them.

In fact, they could easily withstand it with merely their physical strength, without needing to use any Mana.

Amidst the astonished gazes of onlookers, the three climbed swiftly.

Their climbing speed, although not as impressive as Huyan Ting’s or Wen Qinglan’s, was steady and they ascended step by step.

Moments later, Wang Ruoxie, Xiao Ningyue, and Ying Hongyu also reached the Fifth Heaven.

Although they were only on the first step of the Fifth Heaven, the pressure on them was tens of thousands of times stronger than at the start.

With their current Cultivation Power, they had to start taking things seriously.

But given Wang Ruoxie’s formidable physique, even compared to the Celestial Emperor Realm, he wasn’t far behind. This pressure was insignificant to him.

With his cultivation of a Five Elements Spiritual Body, his previous Thunder Tempering Body, and the transformation of Blood Divine Format to thirteen facets, his physique had once again undergone a qualitative enhancement.

Even with his current cultivation standing in the Celestial Monarch Realm, he might not be invincible, but physically, he was confident none could match him.

For most, the pressure of the Celestial Ladder was enough to restrict them, but for him, it was trivial.

After climbing for a little while longer, most people found the increasing pressure too overwhelming to continue another step.

This indicated their failure in the test, unable to pass even the first round and thus eliminated from joining the Profound Lady Sect.

Though unwilling, they knew they had reached their limits, and had to descend the Celestial Ladder.

Some still reluctant to give up tried to forcefully scale higher steps, but the pressure they couldn’t withstand knocked them off the ladder, even causing them to spit blood.

In the end, only a little over ten thousand continued their ascent.

A ten thousand strong seemed numerous, but with hundreds of thousands participating, it was barely a tenth.

Of course, this was only the number for the day; the Profound Lady Sect’s assessment would last at least a month, with daily arrivals of young talents no fewer, perhaps even more than today.

Considering the multitude of geniuses from the few Middle Thousand Worlds under the sect’s domain joining the trial, along with youth from Canglan Sacred Domain and the Holy City, flocking to try their hand.

"Brother Wang, shall we compete?"

Ying Hongyu suddenly proposed to Wang Ruoxie.

"Oh? How so?"

Wang Ruoxie paused slightly, then smiled.

"Whoever reaches the Ninefold Heaven first and stands on the 999th step, passing this first round of the test."

Ying Hongyu chuckled.

"Alright."

Wang Ruoxie nodded and then turned to Xiao Ningyue, "Join us?"

"Mm."

Xiao Ningyue nodded. Though her cultivation was lesser than Wang Ruoxie and Ying Hongyu’s, her strengths might not be weaker. Given her Taiyin Body, few could compare to her physical prowess.

Instantly, the trio’s climbing speed increased rapidly.

In no time, they caught up to Huyan Ting and company and even began overtaking them, chasing after the lead of Wen Qinglan.
