Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!
...
A dozen strands of jet-black hair drifted by, slicing through like sharp knives, weaving into a heavenly net, and sweeping past the three of them. Blood instantly blossod, dyeing the heavenly do red.
"Ah!"
Xiao Ye let out a muffled groan, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down, his face becoming deathly pale. As the leading target, both of his arms were neatly severed by the hair, blood gushed wildly, and the sharp pain swept over him like a tide, causing his vision to blur.
In the face of this hair, Xiao Ye’s strong physical body, honed from cultivating a domineering body and the blood qi tide, was rendered useless. Just like an ordinary martial artist, once struck by this hair, he couldn’t avoid a grievous injury.
Luckily, the residual dicinal power of the last Golden Luo Fruit in his body rapidly healed his wounds, and the remaining dicinal power was exhausted.
Compared to Xiao Ye, Tang Rou and Huang Taiji didn’t fare much better.
As Xiao Ye dodged, several strands of hair fell upon them, instantly leaving them severely injured. Huang Taiji’s foot was directly severed, spraying blood profusely.
And although Tang Rou was a woman, she had half her head severed, an indescribably tragic sight.
Before those strands of hair struck, they decisively swallowed the Golden Luo Fruits they held in their mouths. The rich life energy quickly healed their injuries and soon restored them.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
The three of them, their eyes filled with intensity, continued sprinting up the Heavenly Ladder in silence.
At this mont, aside from Xiao Ye, both Huang Taiji and Tang Rou still had considerable residual dicinal power within them and needed to hurry.
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!
...
Again, a dozen strands of hair drifted down, causing the three of them to suffer further severe injuries. Half of Xiao Ye’s body was split open, and Huang Taiji was in a similarly dire state, drenched in his own blood, with hideous wounds all over.
Tang Rou was slightly better off because she was at the back, so most of the hair was intercepted by Xiao Ye and Huang Taiji.
"The last Golden Luo Fruit has been consud."
Xiao Ye’s injuries were healed once more, but his mood grew heavy.
Standing where he was, and looking up, he could see at least over a hundred terrifying strands of hair left, making it incredibly difficult to get through.
"Xiao Ye, you’re at the front. Take this Golden Luo Fruit and lead us through," said Tang Rou from the back. With a wave of her jade hand, a Golden Luo Fruit flew toward Xiao Ye.
Pa!
Xiao Ye reached out to catch it, didn’t waste words, nodded, and held the fruit in his mouth as he charged forward once again.
Another round of a devastating sprint ensued as strands of hair ca down, inflicting severe injuries on the three, with blood spraying like a fountain. Even a light graze from a hair strand left a bone-deep cut.
anwhile, due to their rapid sprinting, the pressure on the Heavenly Ladder increased imnsely, significantly depleting their Emperor Martial Power.
But in such a situation, they had no other choice. They could only rely on the Golden Luo Fruit’s powerful healing powers to charge through quickly. Otherwise, staying any longer would an certain death.
Having climbed this far, giving up was not an option either.
An hour later—
"Damn, we finally made it through!"
On the Heavenly Ladder, the three of them halted, panting heavily.
Recalling the previous scenes, they couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably.
It was utterly terrifying.
They were so close to total annihilation, completely overwheld by those strands of hair, as if they had fallen into endless hell. They hoped never to experience such a thing again in their lives.
"Those strands of hair hold such power. Could the Great Emperor’s hair in my Space Ring have similar power?" As Xiao Ye pondered this, a fiery divine radiance flashed in his eyes.
Great Emperor’s hair, containing various Tao and Law, surely possesses boundless wondrous uses.
Once leaving the Inner World, he must thoroughly study it.
At this ti, among the three, except for Tang Rou, Xiao Ye and Huang Taiji were gravely wounded, with wounds all over their bodies, although fortunately, their limbs were intact.
Xiao Ye was not stingy. He took all the Elixirs he had scavenged from various treasure lands in the Inner World and shared them with Tang Rou and Huang Taiji.
"Brother Xiao, what exactly did you do? Your luck is incredible to have found so many Elixirs in the treasure land of the Inner World!" Huang Taiji’s eyes shone as he picked out Elixirs that could repair injuries and replenish the depleted Emperor Martial Power and consud them all.
Indeed, the Elixirs Xiao Ye brought were all sorts of varieties, each labeled with detailed usage and instructions.
For instance, the Elixirs for healing injuries, while not as miraculous as the Golden Luo Fruits, were certainly sufficient for nding ordinary wounds.
Xiao Ye smiled slightly.
He had believed that these Elixirs wouldn’t be needed anyti soon, but unexpectedly they proved invaluable now.
The three of them rested for an hour on the Heavenly Ladder. After adjusting back to peak condition, they resud their journey.
Now, the floating islands below and the scorching magma were completely out of sight. Around the three, light clouds drifted, as if within an Immortal Realm.
anwhile, they no longer encountered danger, though the imnse pressure on the Heavenly Ladder kept increasing. Even Xiao Ye started to feel the strain, with their crawling pace slowing significantly, requiring them to stop and consu Elixirs to replenish their consumption every incense stick’s ti.
"The end of the Heavenly Ladder is almost here!"
Xiao Ye looked ahead intently, his spirit imdiately invigorated.
At the straight end of the Heavenly Ladder, a crack faintly appeared, from which a vast aura emanated, as though leading to another space.
The three were full of anticipation for the end of this Heavenly Ladder, possibly having treasure lying in wait.
After all, constructing such a staircase within the Great Emperor Palace, laden with such formidable peril along the way, the Undefeated Emperor surely wasn’t doing it for re amusent.
"We’re almost there, let’s hurry!"
Huang Taiji grew excited, repeatedly urging Xiao Ye onward.
Resignedly, Xiao Ye continued crawling forward.
The final stretch, with pressure mounting exponentially, saw the three crawling as slowly as ants. Ultimately, after four hours, they reached the end of the Heavenly Ladder.
"This is..."
Upon crossing the end of the Heavenly Ladder and passing through the crack, the scene before them utterly stunned them, followed by overwhelming joy in their hearts.
