Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2136 - 2118: Setting Foot on the Heaven-Reaching Level

Chapter 2136: Chapter 2118: Setting Foot on the Heaven-Reaching Level

Just like that, Qin Kun stepped onto the first level of the Heaven-Reaching Level. As soon as he got onto the first level, he encountered the same situation as before on Wu Shan. The pressure suddenly doubled. Qin Kun, who was already prepared, didn’t panic at all and immediately responded calmly according to the anticipated rhythm.

After smoothly handling all the dangers, Qin Kun immediately started adapting to the pressure of the first level using the method he had learned in front of the Stele. But this time was clearly not as easy as before; the pressure on this level was twice as strong as before, and while he had adapted in a few days before, this time he couldn’t completely dispel the Gang Qi within two hours...

In the blink of an eye, more than five hours passed like this. Just as Qin Kun was considering ways to disperse the Gang Qi to allow his body to adapt to the pressure here, Fang Yan suddenly spoke.

"Qin Kun, quickly proceed to the second level. If my estimation is not wrong, one can stay on each level for at most six hours." Fang Yan had just realized this; earlier, when Wu Shan was on the fourth level, he had been transmitted away after just six hours. Clearly, each level here is likely limited in time, so he didn’t want Qin Kun to be inexplicably transmitted away as well.

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s reminder, Qin Kun immediately realized and quickly withdrew his previous thoughts, pushing his Gang Qi to the limit, and stepped onto the second level of the Heaven-Reaching Level.

Sure enough, it was the same situation. Qin Kun, who had been fully prepared, calmly dealt with the four Sword Gangs and then proceeded to adapt to the pressure of the second level as much as possible using the method from the first level, preparing for the third level.

After six hours, seeing that the time was almost up, Qin Kun finally stepped onto the third level of the Heaven-Reaching Level...

...

Nothing happened afterward; with the prior experiences and Fang Yan’s reminders, Qin Kun miraculously persevered until the sixth level before being transmitted away...

Looking around and seeing no one else there anymore, Fang Yan glanced at the Heaven-Reaching Level again but didn’t immediately step onto it. From Qin Kun’s experience, it was evident that the Heaven-Reaching Level surely had mysteries. Based on normal speculation, by the nineteenth level, the pressure would be nineteen times greater than the first level, and under such circumstances, it would be impossible for anyone to endure.

Turning back, he glanced again at the special Stele, contemplated briefly, and then returned to the front of the Stele, placing his hand on it.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, an indescribable pressure emanated from the Stele, almost forcing Fang Yan to kneel on the ground, and the hand he used to touch the Stele appeared as if it had been soaked in blood, the exaggerated pressure incredibly terrifying!

But in the face of such circumstances, Fang Yan did not withdraw his hand. He knew he had to figure out the reason for this, otherwise, he would have to abandon this place as well. The only thing he could do now was adapt to the special pressure emanating from the Stele...

At this time, there was no one to witness this scene, but if someone did, they would definitely exclaim that Fang Yan was incredibly abnormal. Under such pressure, even a true Earth Immortal Realm Peak expert might not withstand it, yet Fang Yan was merely having his arm bleed from touching the Stele!

Moreover, unbeknownst to Fang Yan, Wu Shan and Qin Kun were encountering their own opportunities...

Wu Shan was inside a room, surrounded by a blinding lightning, as if the room was filled with endless thunderstorms, and Wu Shan at this moment seemed to be a legendary Thunder God, being baptized by these wild lightning bolts. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The process was extremely painful for Wu Shan, although he had experienced Lightning Quenching Body before, this time was significantly different. The peculiar aura contained within the lightning here was something he had never encountered before, and he knew the benefits his aura would gain from absorbing this lightning.

Despite the pain, this process was insignificant to him; he wanted to become stronger, stronger enough to stay by Fang Yan’s side. He aimed to grow as quickly as possible, taking Fang Yan as his target.

On the other side, Qin Kun was in a completely different state, finding himself in a very peculiar environment, as if in void space, but with a Jade Slip emanating a strange aura in front of him, glowing faintly.

Upon seeing the Jade Slip, Qin Kun immediately approached it, knowing it must be the core of this place. When he reached the Jade Slip’s side, he was stunned, as the Jade Slip was not a transmission artifact as he had imagined, but merely a Jade Slip with a very different aura that was unfathomable, and more importantly, he felt the aura of the Jade Slip could cause an indescribable transformation in his Gang Qi.

Realizing this, Qin Kun knew this Jade Slip was a true treasure; although unsure of its exact nature, he didn’t care so much at that moment. He sat beside the Jade Slip, focusing on the unique aura radiating from it, and began his cultivation...

In an instant, days passed.

Qin Kun and Wu Shan remained in an extremely focused state of cultivation, while Fang Yan opened his eyes at this moment, surprised to find that the blood on him had vanished, and his hand on the Stele lacked the Gang Qi Shield; he had clearly acclimated to the Stele.

Sure enough!

Seeing his own transformation, Fang Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth—it was indeed as he had expected. The mysterious pressure from the Stele could be dispelled. After such a series of adaptations, anyone climbing the Heaven-Reaching Level was implausible; Fang Yan saw this clearly.

Glancing at the distant Heaven-Reaching Level, Fang Yan’s face showed confidence as he stepped towards it. He finally felt assured in climbing the Heaven-Reaching Level, considering the obstacles set by its creator were indeed impressive!

One step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

...

In one breath, Fang Yan climbed up to the eleventh step before he finally stopped, and during this ascent, he hadn’t even activated his Gang Qi, only using it to counter the Sword Gangs when necessary by shattering them.

Facing the twelfth step, Fang Yan’s heart had also gained some clarity. Earlier, the equivalent pressure of the Stele was just to get him here; unless an unexpected incident occurred, the following levels of the Heaven-Reaching Level would undoubtedly be more challenging, and what truly tested him were these final steps.

With this thought in mind, Fang Yan got serious; after contemplating all possibilities, he climbed the twelfth step!

As soon as he stepped onto the twelfth step, he immediately realized the difference from the previous steps. The pressure was okay, but the attack method was no longer the previous Sword Gangs—it had transformed into another attack method, becoming light, true light, filled with killing intent!

Most importantly, this light wasn’t separate beams but covered the entire Heaven-Reaching Level, making it impossible to evade. The might was undoubtedly formidable, comparable to the full-force strike of an early Earth Immortal Realm practitioner. If he hadn’t prepared beforehand, even he might have suffered from this.

In the blink of an eye, this attack persisted for ten full seconds before finally ending. Although there were no external effects, its true might left Fang Yan speechless; others in the Earth Immortal Realm would not persist similarly, only lasting for an instant, yet here it continued for ten seconds. If it were anyone else here, they might not withstand such aggressive attacks.

After enduring this attack, Fang Yan gained deeper insights into the current situation, aligning with his expectations. Without rushing to proceed to the thirteenth step, he lingered on the twelfth step, pondering the peculiar light, reminiscing about its attack patterns.

Unbeknownst, time slipped by, over five hours passed quickly. Although Fang Yan hadn’t thoroughly comprehended the special light, time constraints no longer permitted his continued delay, so he organized his thoughts and prepared to ascend further!

Thirteenth level!

Fourteenth level!

Fifteenth level!

Sixteenth level!

Along the way, Fang Yan used no Elixir or Dharma Treasure, relying solely on his strength. Although the difficulty increased with each level, he continued progressing steadily.

However, upon reaching the seventeenth level, unforeseen events occurred. As he prepared himself and stepped onto the seventeenth step, the situation abruptly shifted!

"Boom!"

A massive finger with supreme pressure descended from the sky, causing Fang Yan’s Gang Qi to stagnate, as if attempting to crush him alive. Moreover, the finger had a target lock effect, making Fang Yan instantly aware he couldn’t evade but had to confront it!

Damn it, how could this happen!

Faced with this situation, even Fang Yan cursed. His Gang Qi was restricted, and evasion was impossible—he had to endure it. This colossal finger seemed lethal, causing him to wonder why such circumstances appeared, thinking it was madness. Could the master of the Heaven-Reaching Taoist Mansion truly wish to annihilate anyone attempting to ascend the Heaven-Reaching Level?

Yet contemplating this seemed wrong—if the master of the Heaven-Reaching Level truly intended such eradication, that would invalidate the existence of the Heaven-Reaching Level itself!
