Chapter 311 The Second Layer of the Formation (2)
By the time he reached the eighth step, Gu Yuchuan was already panting heavily. The pressure on him was immense; he could even hear his bones cracking. If the pressure on the next step was still this great, would he really be able to cross this hundred-step ladder?
He shook his head, his mind resolute. He was certain he could break the formation. If he wasn't confident, he had no chance at all. This formation even attacked one's mind, which was quite comprehensive. However, his Golden Light Mantra would always protect his soul. He was only affected for a moment before recovering, and it had no impact on his belief whatsoever.
He lifted his legs again, his face even redder, clearly in very poor condition. But he still stepped onto the ninth step. The next step was the tenth, another significant hurdle, which would greatly increase the pressure. He let out a long breath, not lingering. One must muster the strength in one go, then weaken in the second, and exhaust in the third. Once he stopped, it would take a great deal of courage to move forward again.
He lifted his left foot and finally stepped onto the tenth step. He could feel the immense pressure pressing down on him, and he almost collapsed to the ground, but he endured it. Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. The pressure was already too great, but he still managed to reach the tenth step.
He was prepared to withstand immense pressure, but the scene before him changed. He found himself in the middle of a snow-capped mountain range, with an endless abyss before him. Between the two snow-capped mountains were only two iron chains, and he had to cross them to pass this ordeal.
The summit of this snow-capped mountain was bitterly cold, with a biting wind. Ordinary creatures would freeze instantly upon arriving here, but Gu Yuchuan was different. He was a dragon, and although he was of the water element, his mastery of ice was now extremely profound. Even though he had no magic power, he was absolutely unafraid of the cold and felt no stiffness whatsoever. He walked onto the iron chain and looked down into the abyss.
Below the abyss, the bottom was unfathomable. He kicked a small stone down, but there was no sound of it hitting the ground. It seemed that if he fell, there would be no way to survive. He had to cross it. However, crossing two iron chains through a thousand-meter cliff was extremely difficult. Fortunately, he was not afraid of heights.
Outside, Hu Mingyu gripped Pei Yu's hand tightly once more. The current difficulties were clearly far greater. She was deeply worried about her master, but dared not voice it.
However, Pei Yu was also very worried and uneasy. Looking at the cliff, she felt her legs go weak. Thinking of her king, she felt that this matter was very difficult. She could only pray that her king could successfully overcome it.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Qilin Shrimp Demon Emperor both frowned. The Qilin Shrimp Demon Emperor spoke again: "The formation of the Heavenly Profound Sect is really difficult to break. One layer after another, and there are even such changes in the second layer. Brother, it is really very dangerous now."
However, the Heavenly Demon Emperor's expression had improved considerably: "Second brother, I believe in the Azure Dragon Demon King. To be valued by the Demon Venerable and the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor, he must possess some formidable abilities that we haven't yet discovered. Let's watch closely, and I believe he will give us a satisfactory answer."
Inside the Tianxuan Sect, Tianxuanzi had a mocking smile on his lips. He didn't believe that Gu Yuchuan could pass through the iron chains. He himself had tried to break the formation and couldn't get past it, let alone a monstrous talent who had been forcibly brought to the Nascent Soul stage.
Gu Yuchuan was inside the formation and couldn't sense any outside news; he was already standing on the iron chains.
His feet were planted on the iron chains below, and his hands were gripping the iron chains above tightly. His hands and feet were full of strength, and he stood very steadily, beginning to move forward little by little.
He had only walked a few meters forward when a strong wind began to blow in the air. He cursed under his breath, knowing that this formation would not allow him to pass easily. He could only hold on tightly to the iron chains above to make himself more stable.
He lingered there briefly, mainly to get used to the swaying environment. Walking directly without being used to it could be quite dangerous. He preferred to walk slowly rather than risk any danger, since life is only once, and he wouldn't put himself in such a perilous situation.
On the cliff, a fierce wind howled, and the iron chains rattled in the air, but Gu Yuchuan walked steadily. He would not admit defeat; he would definitely make it across. He wanted to see what kind of expression and fate Xuanzi would have when he broke the formation.
He had already covered a hundred meters in the air, completing one-tenth of the thousand-meter chain. His speed was even increasing, clearly indicating that he had found the knack for it. The strong winds had no effect on him; in fact, they seemed to be a background noise, boosting his morale.
Suddenly, dark clouds appeared in the sky, and in an instant, a torrential downpour began. Now, this formation was not so simple; it wouldn't only have strong winds as a means of obstruction. The rain was extremely heavy and powerful, striking the cliff face and even making a loud noise.
The iron chains were eroded by water and were already quite slippery, which undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to the journey below. Gu Yuchuan's hands had grown some dragon scales, which greatly increased the friction and allowed him to continue to stand here steadily.
However, amidst the raging wind and rain, he temporarily halted his progress. As he always said, safety was the most important thing; everything else could be put aside for the time being.
It took him about fifteen minutes to stabilize the situation, and everyone outside was watching closely.
Xuanzi laughed out loud: "I told you that this monster couldn't possibly get through. It's only been a short time, and he's already exhausted. He's been standing here for a long time, and his fate is sealed. He can only die in the formation. A mere monster trying to break the formation is just wishful thinking."
Many people around him echoed Tian Xuanzi's words. Tian Xuanzi was their hope for survival, so naturally no one would say anything against him at this time.
