Chapter 366: Chapter 287: Overlooking the Scenery
Su Yuan’s movements caught the attention of Seth and others who were focused on climbing the ladder ahead. They all turned their heads.
Seeing Su Yuan, whose entire body was surging with white flames, everyone was extremely surprised.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Su Yuan, wrapped in white flames, stepped heavily onto the steps of Heaven Rank one step at a time.
One step, two steps, five steps…
After a while, a burly man saw Su Yuan burning with White Flame beside him, exuding an astonishing aura. His eyes were filled with shock.
“A Gold Middle Stage, keeping up with me?!”
Yes, in such a short while, Su Yuan had already reached the first echelon, catching up with the three burly men at the Gold Limit.
And Su Yuan didn’t stop. The white flames raged on endlessly, and the strength continued to flow.
Despite the difficulty and slowness, Su Yuan resolutely continued to step forward, directly surpassing the burly man!
Step by step, until he took sixteen steps in total and reached the 972nd step, Su Yuan hit his limit again.
By then, only twenty-seven steps remained to the top of the Heavenly Ladder!
And ahead of him, there were only the woman and Seth!
As if feeling the pressure from behind brought by Su Yuan, both Seth and the woman exerted more effort simultaneously!
The woman clenched her teeth tightly, exploded with Star Power, and stepped out one by one. In just a few moments, she took five more steps and reached the 982nd step.
On Seth’s body, eight Holy Light Chains shook, and he took several steps directly to the 990th step, just nine steps short of the top!
However, at that moment, no matter whether it was the experts at the Sky Dragon Palace or the people at Dragon Ascending Square, more eyes were focused on the young man from the Great Flame Country, burning with fierce flames.
“Is this finally the limit?” Everyone was thinking the same.
Red Flame, ten steps.
Yellow Flame, sixteen steps.
White Flame, sixteen steps.
Three rounds of enhancement directly pushed Su Yuan, a Gold Middle Stage, from the 930th step to the 972nd step!
To know the Heavenly Ladder limits enhancement techniques and similar gain skills. The further up you go, the stronger the limitation.
Such enhancement technique definitely surpassed T1-level enhancement techniques. It was far superior to the enhancements of others, and only Seth with eight Holy Light Chains could compare.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Yuan rested his hands on his knees for a moment, then straightened up again.
“Could it be…there’s more?!”
When everyone was in doubt, Su Yuan took a deep breath. The blazing white flames slightly receded, and along with an astonishing aura, a huge burst of dazzling green flames erupted!
“Damn! There’s really more!”
“This is too monstrous. Even the most top-tier enhancement technique couldn’t have such an effect!”
“Is it possible that it’s…an Epic Grade enhancement skill?”
“???!!!”
With more than half a meter of green flames rising all around, Su Yuan’s imposing aura reached a level incomprehensible to even those at the Gold Limit!
With green flames dancing in his eyes, Su Yuan looked up the steps and shot forward like a green fire shadow!
Nine seventy-five, nine eighty, nine eighty-five…nine ninety!
Amidst the roaring green flames, Su Yuan bypassed the tall woman and set foot on the 990th step!
Seth, who had always been ahead, had reached the 993rd step. Feeling his body’s state and the pressure from the Heavenly Ladder, he was confident.
“Without any surprises, the 999th step is within reach…”
Seth’s eyes sparkled. The star power vortex inside him swirled intensely and was highly compressed, already on the verge of liquefaction. The bottleneck of the Shining Star Level seemed ready to burst through at any moment!
At this moment, Seth suddenly sensed a scorching heat behind him.
“Could it be that tall woman still has other means? Given her previous situation, stepping onto the 990th step would be difficult…”
Seth slightly turned his head, only to see a mass of fierce green flames just three steps away!
“Su Yuan? It’s you!”
Seth was startled. He didn’t expect the previously distant Su Yuan to catch up in such a brief moment.
And with such a powerful aura, Seth felt a bit alarmed!
While Seth was surprised, Su Yuan took another step forward, landing on the 991st step.
It was evident that Su Yuan had energy to spare.
“Amazing… more than I imagined!”
Seth was amazed. Seeing Su Yuan two days ago, the latter’s prediction on battle outcomes and cultivation that even Seth couldn’t grasp made Seth feel that this peer was extraordinary.
But he didn’t expect Su Yuan to be extraordinary to such an extent!
Although there was no precedence in climbing the Heavenly Ladder, Seth suddenly felt a strong sense of competition.
“It’s fine if Su Yuan comes up first. But having led this far, I can’t be overtaken!”
Seth wasn’t particularly competitive, but as a direct-line genius of the Howard family, he had his pride.
With an explosion of star power in his body, Seth rapidly formed hand seals with his left hand. Two more Holy Light Chains wrapped around him, glowing brilliantly. Then, Seth took three steps in a row!
Nine ninety-six!
The ten Holy Light Chains trembled, and blood mist exploded from Seth’s exposed skin.
Clearly, this aggressive charge pushed Seth to his physical limit.
But Seth didn’t mind. The substantial healing effect of the ten Holy Light Chains quickly restored these injuries.
Seth gasped twice, striving to stabilize his trembling body while fixing his gaze on the remaining three steps of the Heavenly Ladder.
At this moment, the scorching heat behind him grew stronger. Su Yuan, turned into a green light fire shadow, caught up to the 995th step. The gap between them did not widen but decreased!
“You want to get to the top before me?”
Seeing Seth erupt again, Su Yuan guessed his intention.
Glancing at the 999th step of the Heavenly Ladder not far away, Su Yuan closed his eyes slightly.
Upon reopening them, the green flames in his silver pupils turned purple.
The green flames on his body also instantly turned purple as if dyed.
The surging purple flames burned on his body, and Su Yuan’s imposing aura was almost comparable to the Shining Star!
Red, yellow, white.
Green, purple, gold.
Epic Grade Great Sun Burning Body Technique, the fifth stage of Master Level, Purple Flame Burning Body!
“Impossible!”
Seth was shocked, completely unexpected that Su Yuan could still ascend.
Su Yuan’s skin visibly showed more severe burns, but he seemed unaffected. His figure dashed towards the final few steps!
Nine ninety-six, nine ninety-seven!
Just as Seth stepped onto the 997th step, Su Yuan also stepped up and didn’t stop.
Nine ninety-eight…
Nine ninety-nine!
Seth hadn’t even recovered from his shock when Su Yuan was already standing on the last step of the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder!
On Dragon Ascending Square, everyone looked at the peak of the Heavenly Ladder, amazed by the purple flame figure.
“He…he really did it! He just forcibly rushed to the top of the Heavenly Ladder!”
“Damn, what’s this guy’s background!”
…
In front of the Sky Dragon Palace, the hundreds of strongists who were originally conversing all looked at the projection.
Qin Xiangyang, Xiao Jian, Kleken, and others all showed some surprise in their eyes…
“Epic Grade enhancement skill!”
The numerous experts present immediately recognized Su Yuan’s use of an Epic enhancement skill, and quite an excellent one!
And a Gold Level possessing an Epic Grade enhancement skill, practicing it to a high level?
Even among the numerous experts on stage, they were secretly alarmed!
Qin Xiangyang looked at Su Yuan standing at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Ladder and nodded with admiration. Initially, he intended to recruit the solitary strongists of Sun Moon Star Level in the field.
At that moment, Qin Xiangyang was more interested in Su Yuan.
Even more than a Shining Star, Qin Xiangyang wanted to recruit Su Yuan into the Dragon Sect.
However, since Su Yuan was from the Great Flame, and Xiao Jian was also present, it probably wouldn’t be his turn…
Thinking this, Qin Xiangyang couldn’t help but sigh.
National forces had the advantage of being self-sufficient in talent. As long as no significant incident occurred, they could ensure continuous strength.
In comparison, factions like his Dragon Sect had to constantly absorb experts externally, making stable development challenging.
At the peak of the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder.
Regardless of others’ thoughts, Su Yuan had no time to worry.
Upon reaching the 999th step, the entire Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder lit up with rich deep blue light, with numerous green carp shadows swimming back and forth within.
The extreme pressure disappeared instantly, replaced by a surge of deep blue Transcendence Power converging onto Su Yuan!
Earlier, when breaking through the seven and eight hundred steps, Su Yuan’s internal star power could have already broken through to High Stage.
But Su Yuan wasn’t in a hurry and pressed this momentum till now!
At that moment, with the deep blue light enveloping his body, Su Yuan broke through the bottleneck instantly, advancing to Gold High Stage!
His internal star power vortex expanded more than thirty percent. In the process of constantly surpassing himself, a continuous spring of star power gushed out from the vortex.
In just a few moments, the newly expanded vortex was filled again!
And more star power continued to erupt, compressing within the already full vortex.
Meanwhile, Su Yuan’s imposing aura strengthened rapidly!
In a short time, his internal star power vortex reached its limit. The dense star power, like a mist, couldn’t be enhanced further despite more bursts of Transcendence Power.
“No more advancement, Gold Limit!”
Su Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.
Seeing the remaining Transcendence Power, he thought it was insufficient to break through to Shining Star Level.
But it felt too wasteful to just watch it dissipate…
“Chirp!”
At that moment, Ruan Ruan’s thoughts came to his mind. Su Yuan’s eyes lit up, immediately responding.
Then, alongside a subtle vibration, the remaining Transcendence Power was silently devoured by Ruan Ruan on his arm…
The lingering Transcendence Power was consumed, while Ruan Ruan progressed rapidly.
Having already devoured a significant amount of star core energy, Ruan Ruan broke through to Gold Middle Stage during the last few moments of the Transcendence Power’s exhaustion!
“This journey has been fruitful…”
Su Yuan reopened his eyes and turned to look at the still-struggling climbers below, with a slight smile.
At the pinnacle of the Heavenly Ladder, gazing down on the scenery.
