Realizing this, Yang Xie was overjoyed, he did not expect the Qi blade to have such an effect, at the same time, after his cultivation reached the peak of seven stages of burning blood, his strength had increased greatly, and being able to defend against the Qi blades around him was no longer as taxing as before.

Just then, Yang Xie looked at the center of the cold pond, thought, and suddenly stepped forward, he wanted to test out his own strength, and see how far he can go. At the same time, he wanted to experience how powerful the center of the cold pond could be!

Not only did the energy blades not appear, even the energy blades that filled the sky had disappeared without a trace and were replaced with spiritual energy that seemed to have condensed into liquid form!

Yang Xie clenched his teeth as he felt the bone-piercing cold air, and didn't make a sound.

How could a mere tribulation compare to the humiliation he had suffered all those years ago!

Suddenly, Yang Xie slowly lifted his left leg, and then heavily stomped!

The sixth step!

With this step, a force several times heavier than before crashed onto his body!

Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!

For a moment, all of the bones in Yang Xie's body emitted creaking sounds, as if he couldn't bear such a heavy burden!

Yang Xie's body started to tremble slightly. The thin layer of ice on his body made him feel extremely heavy, as heavy as an iron armor!

At this moment, Yang Xie felt as if he was in a glacier that spanned a hundred thousand meters. Endless pressure was acting on his body, even making it difficult for him to move his pinky finger!

Yang Xie's knees slowly bent under the immense pressure. Traces of scarlet blood slowly flowed out of his ears, nose and eyes, but in an instant, they had frozen into streaks of bloody ice. Looking from afar, he looked extremely terrifying!

And at the moment when Yang Xie was unable to withstand the pressure and slowly fell to the ground, a bizarre energy wave reverberated in the surroundings, seemingly disappointed, yet seemingly sighing!

Yang Xie's consciousness started to slowly blur as countless scenes flashed through his mind. From the scenes of him being brought to the Cloud Sky Sect as a child, to the scene of him cultivating with all his might, to the scene of him finally becoming an outer disciple, all of them clearly surfaced in front of him.

Suddenly, the image of Chen Lin, who looked down at him with contempt from above, appeared in Yang Xie's mind, as if he was ridiculing him, this trash, for not even being able to withstand this bit of pressure.

"No!"

In that moment, a wave of boundless fury rose from the bottom of Yang Xie's heart!

Wasn't the reason why he worked so hard in his cultivation all for the sake of becoming a cultivator!?

Previously, he endured it all because his strength was lacking. But now that he had the help of the mysterious star, he was no longer that useless trash who had no way of resisting. From today onwards, no one would be able to make him yield!

Not even this world!

Once he thought about it, Yang Xie instantly regained his clarity, and his eyes revealed an unwavering determination that had never been seen before!

He let out a low growl, and the momentum from his kneeling suddenly stopped, followed by another tiger's roar.

"Rise!"

In an instant, the golden light around his body flickered crazily as the layer of ice around him cracked and shattered. His body that had been kneeling slowly straightened itself!

When he stood up, Yang Xie's body swayed even more violently, but his eyes grew brighter.

At this moment, he had already walked six steps into the cold pond. He was only one step away from reaching the center of the pond!

With merely a level of cultivation, he actually managed to arrive here. If the rest of the disciples of the Yama Peak knew about this, they would definitely be dumbstruck!

One must know that even the Chen Fan in the nine stages of burning blood had only reached the fifth step, and was no longer able to take another step!

Although the difference was only one step, the difference was like heaven and earth!

Seeing that he was about to reach the center of the cold pond, Yang Xie naturally had no reason to retreat, he immediately channeled all the spirit energy in his body, and slowly moved another step forward.

At the moment, Yang Xie was like a mortal trapped in a sticky swamp, tripped by a bundle of wet soil, it was truly difficult to move a single step!

When Yang Xie's leg was lifted up into the air, it suddenly stopped. Looking back at Yang Xie, he could see a gold light flashing frantically, the veins on his face bulging out, it was obvious that he was under an immense pressure.
