Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Eight Immortals Dragon Trapping Formation!

Ye Ling's forehead also slightly tightened, he had heard of this Formation before, but he did not know if it was the same Formation that Li Tianhao had spoken of.

"The Eight Immortals Dragon Trapping Formation, it seems that this old dragon vein was deliberately imprisoned here, and just now, when the dragon vein escaped and ascended, it was also deliberately trapped again."

"These eight iron chains represent the eight Immortals, infusing the chains with powerful immortal power before locking one end onto the dragon vein, sealing its entire Dragon Force and eternally suppressing it here."

"The joint strength of eight Immortals, even an ordinary Immortal would be unable to open it. However, looking at this Eight Immortals Dragon Trapping Formation, it should also be ancient, now only its reputation remains."

Li Tianhao's forehead tightened, but sparks of understanding flickered in his eyes as he observed the stairs, trying to discern their mysteries.

Heiyun Baitu was also constantly scrutinizing their surroundings, looking at everything around. However, this place was too simple, with nothing but the stairs and the eight chains.

"What should we do? Do we go up?" a strong member of the Dark Council asked coldly.

"Go up! We've come this far, how could we not go up!"

The others agreed, and one by one, figures charged towards the stairs. Just as everyone stepped onto the first stair, suddenly, the seemingly endless stairs moved.

The stairs, over three meters wide, began to shake violently, and the force generated from the shaking turned into a terrifying impact that directly struck everyone on the stairs.

With a thump, a Houtian peak expert had only climbed up a hundred stairs and could not withstand the terrible force, collapsing to the ground, his face pale.

Another strong man could not bear it either, but he clenched his teeth and rushed upward, only for his body to freeze, and then he exploded in mid-air.

Everyone was completely shocked; this fearsome power had forcefully caused that strong man to explode.

"Trial participants, pass five hundred stairs to enter the next stage, the rest of you either withdraw or die!"

Suddenly, a resounding voice spread through the air, and everyone stopped at the sound of this voice.

Five hundred stairs!

Up to now, no one had managed to step on the five hundredth stair, even the strongest Innate expert had only reached just over three hundred stairs, looking visibly strained.

"What do we do!" Shenfeng clenched his teeth; even the experts of the Innate Realm might not be able to reach five hundred stairs, much less them, with hardly a glimmer of hope.

Ye Ling suddenly laughed, "These stairs don't test a person's strength, but rather test a person's potential within a certain realm."

"Forget about being Innate, even if you were an Immortal, you could potentially fall to your death."

"And a person of limitless potential, though ordinary, could also reach the peak."

Ye Ling's words filled everyone with joy. So, that's how it was. In that case, it meant that people like Shenfeng and Li Tianhao still had a chance to advance to the next stage.

"Moreover, remember, if you can persist, then grit your teeth and keep going. This is a trial for you, and if you can endure it, it will be a significant transformation!"

Ye Ling said with a slight smile, this was like a person encountering setbacks, if they could overcome them, they would undergo a rebirth.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Everyone nodded in understanding. They were clear about what Ye Ling's words signified, and all the Huaxia experts were itching to show their skills.

Everyone leaped onto the stairs, and Ye Ling also took a deep breath, smiling coldly.

"I left this method behind in the Immortal Realm before; who would have thought that today, I would also need to brave it? I wonder to what extent can I reach this time!" Ye Ling smiled and then directly stepped onto the stairway.

This stairway, known as the Celestial Ladder, is nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine steps high. Throughout the history of the Immortal Realm, those who could set foot on the nine thousandth step were few and far between, each of them a mighty figure who dominated the Immortal Realm.

Facing this ladder that tested only potential, Ye Ling was very cautious. He wanted to see if he could reach the heights of his past life.

In the past, he made it to the nine thousand one hundredth step before he fell back, shocking the entire Immortal Realm, and with that, he soared to the skies, fully unleashing his potential and advancing to the Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperor, reigning supreme over the world.

On the Celestial Ladder, each strong contender was exerting their full strength. Quite a number of them had already charged up to more than four hundred steps, looking to be successful shortly.

The Saintess also stimulated all her strength. She suddenly felt that this step was not as difficult as it seemed on the surface. She walked over four hundred steps and still felt quite at ease.

She hadn't heard what Ye Ling said, that this Celestial Ladder targeted a person's potential, not their realm.

Hei Tu and Baiyun walked arm in arm, their faces serious, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, yet they were still clenching their teeth and persisting. So far, they had walked up to over three hundred steps.

Li Tianhao and Shenfeng were ahead of them, having reached over four hundred twenty steps and their expressions still normal, indicating their potentials were still quite strong.

"I must reach five hundred steps, otherwise I won't be able to enter the next stage!"

Many people were determined in their hearts to persist until five hundred steps, otherwise, this attempt would all be in vain.

Suddenly, a figure flew up from below, and everyone was stunned. Who was that?

Everyone turned around, and when they saw the comer, they all drew a sharp breath—it was Ye Ling!

It was him, the young man who effortlessly slaughtered the experts of the Dark Council—only to see him moving as if flying atop the steps oppressed by a gravity field, crossing over a dozen steps with every stride.

"Am I dreaming? I exhaust myself with every step I take, yet this bastard seems to be flying, is he just messing around?"

"Damn it, you're talking about exhausting yourself—I exerted myself so much I accidentally let fly a mess in my pants!"

Ye Ling paid no mind to the unusual gazes from the crowd as his figure rapidly crossed over the realm of five hundred steps.

Whoosh, his figure continued to race upward, without a hint of slowing.

The Saintess, watching Ye Ling's departing figure, gritted her teeth: "This damn bastard, can he be so strong?"

Shenfeng and Li Tianhao watched Ye Ling's rapid departure, feeling the urge to shake their heads and sigh: "Truly damn infuriating, I'm finding that this world nowadays is just full of freaks, and this guy is the freak among freaks."

"How old is he? Could he become an Immortal again?"

Everyone sighed in amazement. Meanwhile, Ye Ling had already charged up to the three thousandth step. As he turned his head and looked down at the others who were still struggling like old oxen plowing the field, he couldn't help but smile, feeling a heroic spirit within his chest.

The sensation of looking down upon the masses came back to him once more. This time, he would definitely not fall on the path of cultivation again.

Thump, thump, thump, moving swiftly, yet Ye Ling knew that the real pressure was about to come, because after five thousand steps, it was a world completely different.

That world had claimed the lives of countless talents, known as the beginning of the deadly Celestial Ladder!

And as Ye Ling took a step onto the five-thousandth, his entire being suddenly jolted, then he was immediately overjoyed. A radiant golden light burst forth from his body, bathing him in its glow.
