"If our direction is correct, then Spirit Refinement Mountain should be up ahead!" Along the way, Wang Hao's spiritual sense extended outwards in a straight line, and already sensed the aura of a Deity Realm Ranker tens of kilometers away.
And most of them were above the late stage of Soul Formation.
"Wang Ge, your consciousness is too strong! I have estimated that we are at least fifteen kilometers from the Spirit Refinement Mountain! " Li Dan was shocked.
Wang Hao laughed, "It is only a straight line distance. You cannot make me cover a thirty mile radius."
Hearing that, Li Dan decisively shut his mouth.
This was because their understanding of each other was on a completely different level.
What do you mean it's just a straight line? You're being too modest!
Not to mention Deity Realm, even within Refinement Realm, there were few who were able to use their divine sense to sense the auras fifteen kilometers away.
The three of them increased their speed. A short while later, a unique mountain peak appeared within their line of sight.
There was only one peak on this mountain, and it wasn't very high. Without the Heaven's Pride gathering, people passing by might not have noticed.
At the beginning, the most unique part of the mountain was a flight of stairs leading up to the 33rd step, from the foot of the mountain to the summit.
Every step of the staircase was extremely wide, enough for dozens of people to stand shoulder to shoulder. There were already several silhouettes standing there, all of them exuding auras with extraordinary auras.
Wang Hao looked at Spirit Refinement Mountain, his divine sense sweeping around, but he did not sense any danger, thus, Wang Hao had an idea, and was prepared to descend down to the middle of the mountain steps.
"You two go to the foot of the mountain, I'll give it a try first." Wang Hao instructed, he then landed.
However, when Wang Hao's feet were still more than three meters away from the stairs, an invisible force that had reached the Nihility God Realm realm appeared out of thin air and fiercely blasted Wang Hao away.
If Wang Hao's strength was the same as his cultivation on the surface, he might have been shattered into pieces by the shock, and his body would have disappeared.
"Damn, that's a little fierce!" Fortunately, we didn't pull Fatty and Yang Chen along. " Wang Hao still had lingering fear in his heart. This power almost injured him.
"Ha!" There really is a reckless person here! " Some people on the stairs had noticed the arrival of Wang Hao and the other two. Seeing that Wang Hao actually wanted to directly fall on the stairs, they couldn't help but mock him.
The entire Spirit Refinement Mountain was protected by barriers and even with Nihility God Stage expert s, people couldn't casually enter and exit. They could only start climbing the stairs from the foot of the mountain.
Swish!
Without waiting for Li Dan and the forest array to concern themselves over it, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm fine, but it's impossible to climb the stairs from mid-air."
"Eh? This kid actually did not die! " Someone on the stairs looked surprised.
"Not only did he not die, he didn't even seem to be injured?"
"Weird, this brat clearly only has a early stage of Soul Formation cultivation, could it be that his cultivation is too low, so the power of the restrictions are not too strong?"
"Cut the crap. No one who dares to come here is ordinary. Maybe this kid is a monster level character; don't be fooled by his outer appearance of cultivation." A steady person reminded him.
"Brother Zhang is right, everyone take care of yourselves, let's get on the 20th step first! Otherwise, not to mention his identity, even if word were to spread out, he would still be humiliated. " Someone echoed.
These people were all at the late stage of Soul Formation. Although they weren't the best among the best among the same level, with their cultivation, with their talent, if they couldn't even raise their 20th step, they would lose all their face.
"Wang Ge, is that a formation barrier?" forest array asked Wang Hao with a solemn face.
"Pretty much, this mountain should have a barrier protecting it. Without the strength of Nihility God Realm, I can only obediently climb up from here. There are no shortcuts, every step I take." Wang Hao replied indifferently, "As for what will happen once we get to the top of the stairs, it's nothing more than obstructing our path of cultivation. Look at those people above, those with 20th step and above, they don't pay any attention to us, as though they're trying their best to resist something.
With Wang Hao's level of consciousness, the discussions of these people would naturally not leak out.
Other than that, Wang Hao also found two other people he was familiar with.
Wu Shen and Lu Yu.
The two of them were at the twenty-second step, the air whirl around them as though they were defending with all their might, and did not realise the arrival of Wang Hao and the other two.
The five people who were with Lu Yu originally weren't here. It could be possible that they knew their own limitations and hadn't come.
At this moment, Wang Hao realized that Lu Yu had lifted his foot, and wanted to step on the twenty-third step. In an instant, the space around Lu Yu seemed to have changed.
As the leader of the Profound Sky Celestial Sect, there was no doubt about Lu Yu's talent and strength.
Although this step was very slow, and the descent even slower, and his body shook for a long time before finally coming to a stop, he was still able to successfully reach the 23rd step.
The 23rd step, for those heaven's pride level experts below the peak of Soul Formation, was already a very good result.
"I'm going up. You two, measure your strength. Don't kill yourself." Wang Hao was not here to watch the show, so with a word of warning, he stepped out.
Swish!
As Wang Hao stepped onto the first step, an oppressive feeling enveloped his entire body, and his entire being seemed to have become ten times heavier. The scene before his eyes also changed in an instant, as if he had entered a teleportation formation and was being teleported to another space.
"Ten times gravity and illusion?" Wang Hao thought: "Unfortunately, it's useless against me!"
Wang Hao's heart was clear as a mirror. He immediately took a second step, and fell towards the abyss.
"Hua!"
When Wang Hao's second step landed, the abyss beneath his feet were like lakes, rippling out with ripples. Following that, the abyss disappeared and the staircase reappeared.
But, a wave of heat followed right after. In Wang Hao's vision, there was already a sea of fire in front of him.
"The illusions have become stronger, not only affecting the sight, but also the senses." Wang Hao, who truly felt a burning sensation, thought in his heart. After that, he channeled his Nine Suns Divine Art and a wave of fire energy surged out from his body, enveloping his entire body.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Dan and the forest array were not in a hurry to climb the mountain.
When they saw Wang Hao on the second stage, their entire bodies surged with red Qi, their eyes immediately opened wide and their expression became serious.
He was only at the third stage, yet he was able to force the Wang Ge to use his skills?
Previously, Wang Hao had used the Nine Suns Divine Art to defeat Wu Shen in an instant, and defeated Shen Yan in an instant.
To be able to use it right now meant that the power that was obstructing Wang Hao was very strong.
Fortunately, Wang Hao did not stagnate, and did not slow down instead, and continuously climbed a few steps. Only when he reached the ninth step did he noticeably pause, but it was only for a moment, as the color of the cyclone around Wang Hao's body changed, and he smoothly stepped onto the tenth step.
Li Dan and forest array heaved a sigh of relief, as their expression eased up.
"Fatty, this brother will go first. If not, I will admit defeat as soon as possible!" Li Dan said proudly, and stepped forward.
"Take care of yourself first! "Don't end up losing to me." The forest array replied.
In terms of overall strength, the forest array was not weak to Li Dan, but putting everything else aside, with his own cultivation, the forest array still had its own self-awareness, and admitted that it was inferior to Li Dan.
"Hmm?"
From the tenth step to the 20th step, there were nearly twenty heaven's pride level experts. At this time, many people were shocked by the speed in which Wang Hao had reached the tenth step.
Although it was relatively easy to advance to the tenth stage, it still required the strength of a normal Refinement Realm.
Moreover, even among them, no one was able to smoothly ascend to the tenth step.
"Who is this kid?" Their suspicions were immediately raised as to the origins of Wang Hao's identity, and they became extremely interested.
He fell from the sky without a single scratch. Then, he took ten steps in succession to the tenth step. Just from these alone, one could see just how extraordinary he was.
Wang Hao did not care about the curious gazes of the crowd. To be precise, Wang Hao could not see their reactions, and even his mind was confused, and was not able to sense the Qi in front of him.
On the steps of the Spirit Refinement realm, only by looking backwards would one be able to see the same scene as what was happening outside. If one looked forward, they would see that it was all just an illusion.
Starting from the tenth step, the gravity has increased by twenty times. The 20th step must be at least thirty times, or even forty times, and for people below the late stage of Soul Formation, even if they are Heaven's Pride s, very few would be able to withstand it. Wang Hao secretly thought in his heart, and was a little worried for the two of them, "Just gravity alone is not a problem, if I can't hold on, I won't die, but in this illusion, once I fall in, the two would superimpose on each other, and my spirit would collapse, my body would naturally not be able to hold on either, so it would be extremely difficult for me to save them."
"I hope these two kids have some ability!" Wang Hao could only hope so.
As he stepped onto the 10th step, the changes weren't limited to gravity, but illusions.
At this moment, a person appeared in front of Wang Hao. Upon seeing him, Wang Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The person in front of him was far too familiar.
However, the obstacles that would follow would be great.
