Myth Beyond Heaven

BOOM!!

Ling Zemin took the final step and climbed onto the 999th floor. A tremendous pressure bore down on his entire body, causing the green light surrounding him to vanish completely. At this moment, Ling Zemin felt as though the whole world had collapsed on him.

Relying on his iron will, Lin Zemin endured the oppressive power and various negative emotions that surged within his heart for a few minutes until they slowly faded away, indicating that he had successfully conquered the Nine Heaven Staircase.

With another bang, Shui Fang, Yang Zhen, Xing Liuxian, and the others arrived at the final floor and continued to endure the trial for a while until it disappeared.

“Phew! Finally.” Yang Zhen let out a long breath as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. “It is truly worthy of being an artifact from the Primordial Era. I don’t think an ordinary Divine Emperor can pass it.”

“This is only twenty percent of its true power.” Ling Zemin said. “It has been corroded by time for too long. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even be able to reach half of it.”

Yang Zhen was stunned. “Only twenty percent? You’re not joking, right, Brother Ling?”

They almost couldn’t make it to the end, even though they had only experienced twenty percent of the staircase’s true power. What about thirty or forty percent? Wouldn’t they explode immediately upon impact?

“What is that?” Xing Liuxian suddenly asked, pointing at a starlight vortex not far away from them.

“They are our rewards.” Ling Zemin said and walked toward the vortex.

He then reached into the vortex and pulled out a specific item. It was an ancient wooden box adorned with mysterious runes. When Ling Zemin opened the box, an intense fragrance immediately filled the air, clearing everyone’s minds.

“What kind of pill is that?” Yang Zhen was shocked. Everyone here was a peak Divine Emperor, and there was hardly any medicine in the world to soothe their minds just by sniffing it like this.

Ling Zemin thoughtfully glanced at a bright green pill that was almost as clear as crystal, laid in the box. To his knowledge, this pill must be something beyond the Divine Emperor’s rank. It could even be the legendary Primordial Rank Pill.

“My turn.” Yang Zhen couldn’t wait to see his reward. He stepped forward and reached into the vortex. Immediately, he pulled out a white talisman emitting an extremely dense spatial energy fluctuation.

“An escaping talisman?” Yang Zhen was disappointed.

“It shouldn’t be just an ordinary escaping talisman, Young Master.” Dong Xiu spoke. “I have never seen such an intense spatial element in a talisman before. Perhaps it could even send you away from this place.”

“Oh?” Yang Zhen was surprised and carefully put it away.

Xing Liuxian immediately approached and pulled a soft armor out of the vortex. The armor looked ordinary, but Xing Liuxian could sense an immense power within. He didn’t say anything and put it away.

Meanwhile, Shui Fang pulled out a jade tablet with three large words on it—Water Breaking Art.

After reading for a moment, Shui Fang was certain that it was at least a Supreme-rank profound art.

“You’re really lucky, Brother Shui.” Yang Zhen said enviously. Shui Fang’s main element was water, and he actually got a water-related profound art. What kind of luck was that?

Dong Xiu and the others had also received their rewards, which ranged from weapons to profound arts. However, they were relatively inferior compared to Shui Fang’s Water Breaking Art.

When everyone received their rewards, the vortex slowly disappeared, and a gate made of starlight emerged from it.

Ling Zemin gave everyone another warning upon seeing this. “Remember. Do not run around no matter what. We have to stick together all the time. Only then can I bring everyone to the Reincarnation Tower.”

“Don’t worry. We will follow you, Brother Ling.” Yang Zhen said with a reassuring smile.

Ling Zemin nodded and led everyone through the gate.

While everyone entered the gate, Yun Lintian’s group arrived at the 990th floor.

Jiang Shuren immediately stepped onto the next step, and tremendous pressure instantly bore down on her entire body. However, she was able to endure it until the end.

She turned to Yun Lintian and said. “It is at least ten times more powerful. You should use an artifact to resist it.”

Yun Lintian nodded and took a step forward. With a bang, a powerful impact instantly smashed into his body and soul.

Yun Lintian silently channeled his divine energy in accordance with the Primordial Beyond Heaven Scripture. In the next moment, the pressure around him gradually lessened by several degrees, allowing him to take the next step.

Jiang Shuren and Kong Xun glanced at each other in surprise upon witnessing this scene. Yun Lintian made it seem like he was walking up a staircase in his house. There seemed to be no pressure whatsoever around him.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhilan said nothing and swiftly followed Yun Lintian. Her speed was almost the same as Yun Lintian’s. The pressure couldn’t hinder her in the slightest.

“What monsters these two are.” Jiang Shuren murmured and quickly followed them.

It took them less than fifteen minutes to reach the top floor. If Ling Zemin’s group were here, their jaws would certainly drop to the ground. One had to know that it took them five hours to reach here. Moreover, Yun Lintian’s group didn’t even use their artifact.

“What is that?” Jiang Shuren looked curiously at a starlight vortex. She reached out to touch it, and her hand was immediately sucked into the vortex.

Recovering from the initial shock, Jiang Shuren suddenly felt something smooth and pulled it out. A look of surprise appeared on her face when she saw that it was a jade tablet with a profound art recorded on it.

“Four Directions River Flowing Art?” A trace of astonishment flashed across Jiang Shuren’s eyes. The more she read the content, the wider her eyes grew. She could feel that this profound art was even more powerful than her Eternal River God Art.

Yun Lintian glanced at the jade tablet in Jiang Shuren’s hand briefly and said in surprise. “It is a complete primordial-rank profound art.”

“What?” Kong Xun was shocked.

Jiang Shuren recovered from her astonishment and said. “So, this vortex gives us a reward?”

“Let me try.” Kong Xun eagerly reached into the vortex and pulled out worn-out pants. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

Silence descended as everyone stared at the pant blankly… What was that? A rag?
