Chapter 1327

Gu Ding did not know how the others were doing, and he was not in the mood to think about it.

He had been fighting with the other party for several hours, and he had already used up close to twenty percent of the God Source in his body. His stamina had also decreased slightly, and he was beginning to realize that things were not going well if this went on. This was because the other party had remained in peak condition and did not seem to be exhausted at all.

Originally, when Gu Ding encountered other opponents, their God Source and stamina consumption could not outlast him, so he did not care about this problem at first. But now that he had discovered this problem, he knew that if he did not make a breakthrough, he would be exhausted to death by his opponent sooner or later.

"It's impossible for me to make a breakthrough in my cultivation. I don't have many Arcane Bones that I can use to condense God Weapons. If I want to make a breakthrough, I'll have to start from other aspects …"

Gu Ding recalled the heritage and cultivation memories he had obtained. Basically, he had cultivated all the powerful divine powers and some divine powers that were more suitable for him. The rest were all Divine Arts that were not very useful to him. Even if he were to cultivate now, he would not be able to affect the battle at all.

"I've already cultivated all kinds of divine abilities and cultivation methods. It'll be very difficult for me to improve in a short period of time. The strength of my physical body and soul have both reached their limits. If I want to make another breakthrough, I will need to improve my cultivation further. Only the strength of his willpower could be improved. Moreover, in the True Monarch's inheritance, there was a Divine Ability that was driven by willpower. However, with my current willpower, it wouldn't have any effect on the masked man. But after my willpower increases, I should be able to get a good result if I use this move again. "

The strength of Gu Ding's willpower was not considered weak. It was already at the level of a Grade-1 Lord. However, compared to other aspects, it was still lacking.

After summoning Gu Jin and Gu Kong from the world, Gu Ding soon saw that they had also summoned two of their avatars.

"Help me buy some time!" Gu Ding said to the two of them.

Then, he immersed his consciousness into the soul space and once again saw the huge black heavenly monument in the soul space — the Great Maoist Will Heavenly Monument.

Gu Ding's soul pressed his hand on the Great Will Sky Monument, and his willpower quickly condensed into a figure inside the Great Will Sky Monument.

Inside the Divine Monument, a bronze staircase appeared in front of Gu Ding. There were only 108 steps on the staircase.

[Every 12 steps represents one star. Once you reach the 108th step, your willpower will be comparable to that of a perfection-stage Nine-star Lord.]

An ancient voice rang out without any warning.

Gu Ding did not hesitate. He immediately stepped onto it.

It was only the first step, yet he could faintly feel a sense of heaviness. Not only that, but the heaviness came from all directions, as if he alone was bearing the weight of the entire world. However, the weight was still within Gu Ding's tolerance.

After adjusting his condition, Gu Ding stepped onto the second step.

The heaviness increased again, but it was still within Gu Ding's tolerance range. He adjusted himself again and took the second step …

Gu Ding walked step by step until he reached the tenth step. He felt that his body had reached the limit of what it could take. He stayed where he was. This time, he stood there for about two hours. When he felt that he had gotten used to it, he took the next step.

The reason Gu Ding dared to waste time like this was because the flow of time in his soul space was countless times faster than the outside world. An ordinary person's countless thoughts could be generated in an instant, let alone a powerhouse like Gu Ding. After spending two hours in his soul space, time in the outside world might not have flowed at all.

In the Divine Monument of Maoism, Gu Ding had just set one foot on the eleventh step when his body, which was formed by his willpower, began to slowly show signs of disintegration.

Gu Ding frowned slightly. He was actively promoting the rapid recovery of his body. He had experienced this the last time he entered the Divine Monument of Maoism, so he did not panic at all.

He maintained the state of having one foot on the eleventh step for more than three hours before his body's disintegration was suppressed. Only then did he put his second foot on the eleventh step. His body showed signs of disintegration again. Gu Ding closed his eyes and stood there, quickly repairing his body.

After another two hours or so, the disintegration of his body was once again suppressed. After adjusting himself in the same place for more than an hour, Gu Ding finally stepped onto the twelfth step.

On the twelfth step, Gu Ding stayed for more than two hours, and his physical condition began to stabilize. He knew that his willpower was now at the level of a perfect 1-star lord.

After adjusting himself in the same place for more than an hour, Gu Ding stepped toward the thirteenth step.

Almost as soon as he set foot on the thirteenth step, Gu Ding's body began to crack rapidly. After all, a perfect 1-star willpower was still a distance away from a true 2-star lord. His body continued to deteriorate. In just a few minutes, most of his physical body had disintegrated and was on the verge of collapse.

Gu Ding had no choice but to return to the twelfth step and re-condense his will body to challenge it a second time …

In this way, Gu Ding went back and forth between the twelfth and thirteenth steps seven or eight times. After more than twenty hours, Gu Ding finally stood firm on the thirteenth step.

After that, Gu Ding's climbing speed became even slower. It took him almost four to five hours to climb one step.

By the time he climbed to the twenty-fourth step, another two days had passed.

It took Gu Ding an entire day to climb from the twenty-fourth step to the twenty-fifth step.

Then, it took him another three days to climb to the thirty-sixth step, raising his willpower to the level of a perfect 3-star lord.

It took Gu Ding two days to climb from the thirty-sixth step to the thirty-seventh step. Then, it took him another five days to climb to the forty-eighth step, raising his willpower to the level of a perfect 4-star lord.

After that, it took Gu Ding five days to go from the forty-eighth to the forty-ninth step. It took Gu Ding ten days to climb from the forty-ninth step to the sixtieth step.

At this point, Gu Ding had spent a month in the Divine Monument of Great Ambition, forcibly raising his willpower to the level of a perfect 5-star lord.

Based on his personality, it was possible for him to raise his willpower to the level of a 9-star lord in one go. However, his physical strength was limited, and he could barely contain the willpower of a 5-star lord. Any stronger and his willpower would backfire on his physical body, so he could only give up.

When Gu Ding's consciousness returned to his body, he realized that less than a minute had passed in the outside world.

The corners of Gu Ding's mouth curled up slightly as he activated the divine power in his memory — the War Spirit of Great Ambition!

The War Spirit of Great Ambition was a powerful divine power from the Primordial Era. It could condense a War Spirit that was the same as a physical entity and had the same memories and divine powers as the original.

A bronze-colored War Spirit quickly condensed in the void and transformed into Gu Ding's appearance. However, this War Spirit had the cultivation of a perfect 5-star lord, except that it did not have five god sequence chains.

The bronze-colored War Spirit had the same combat effectiveness as Gu Ding. A 5-star War Spirit could even kill an 8-star lord and fight a 9-star lord.

Seeing that his opponent had also summoned his War Spirit, Gu Ding grinned. The bronze-colored War Spirit pointed a finger, and his opponent's War Spirit immediately shattered.

The god sequence chain in his hand turned into a black blade. He casually slashed at the void, and the entire space was split into two pieces.

The masked man and his two clones had no time to dodge, and they were directly cut in half at the waist.

Gu Jin and Gu Kong watched the scene unfold with dull expressions. They had fought with the masked man before, and they knew how powerful he was. Now that they saw him killed in an instant, they could not help but feel shocked.

Watching the masked man's body dissipate, Gu Ding muttered in a low voice, "It's a pity that the guy's loot is gone …"

As soon as Gu Ding's voice fell, there was a tremor in the void, and an ancient door enshrouded in white mist slowly appeared and slowly opened.

Gu Ding dispersed his divine power and kept his two clones in his world. Then, his figure hurriedly rushed through the door.

After Gu Ding entered, the door closed automatically and slowly faded in the void, as if it had never been there.
