But at that mont, his teacher, the forr Long Hou, patted his shoulder and said: "You don’t understand—pressure is absolute. Even if he has the ability to challenge, it’s aningless. If he can challenge the early stage of God, then the pressure is the mid-stage of God. If he can challenge the early stage of the Sovereign, then the pressure is the mid-stage of the Sovereign. These are forbidden zones that are absolutely insurmountable!"
"Good! Only Haoran, in monts of greatness, remains unaffected. For hundreds of years, aside from the ’Tai Pillar,’ I’ve never been able to approach the ’Tai Pillar.’"
"Stand up! He... he has actually stood up again!"
"This boy is terrifying... I fear we’ve underestimated him in the end."
"How furious he is over being prohibited from seeing this image—how enraged he must be!"
As Yang Tianna’s fury surged again within the Lingtian Pagoda, the elders of the Dragon Clan roared with unease, remaining rooted in place one by one.
The shock within their hearts lingered for a long ti, unable to be eased!
Because this was different from the previous impact brought by Yang Tian.
Thus, we should give it our all to succeed and then withdraw, placing third in the battle.
Once climbing the ladder toward the peak of the tower, pressured to the point of suffocation by the oppressive force of slaughter, it was almost certain that the individual would be unable to continue the ascent with 100% certainty.
Therefore, as Yang Tian was perceived to have reached his limit and seemingly out of strength to climb further, his predecessor Long Li was the first to speak, believing Yang Tian had no more capacity left!
No one refuted this claim.
But now, what’s the situation?
Yang Tian, under these circumstances, broke his own limits out of anger and began climbing again!
This must be described as unprecedented, past or future!
How could they not be astonished? How could one not feel astounded?
At that mont, a deafening voice echoed down from the top of the tower.
"If I beco a devil, I will do as I wish."
With the first step, Yang Tian walked firmly and steadily, without stumbling or trembling, securely taking that step forward!
"If I beco a devil, I will return to its side!"
With the second step, Yang Tian remained stable. Even amidst killing intent, his resolute gaze did not waver in the slightest!
"If I beco a devil, everything will celebrate!"
With the third step, the poisonous miasma of slaughter enveloping the Lingtian Tower trembled the stairway leading to the eighteenth floor—but Yang Tian still advanced step by step, without hesitation!
...
Neither the elders beneath the Lingtian Pagoda nor those who stood with the Dragon Clan knew how much ti had passed.
But at this mont, whether it was Yang Tian or the elders observing Yang Tian’s final ten steps, all had seemingly lost sense of ti, of everything!
In Yang Tian’s eyes, only the final ten steps remained.
But in the elders of the Dragon Clan’s eyes, there was only one tenacious shadow climbing higher and higher.
Gazing at the last step before him, Yang Tian’s initially solemn eyes suddenly lit up, a faint smile erging on his lips.
RUMBLE!
At this very mont, a chaotic gust of air interwove between the heavens and earth, a terrifying aura capable of pushing the world surged and engulfed the entire tower in an instant.
The once prideful Long Lin shouted in shock: "He... he has broken through!"
Several others were equally startled.
He was right!
At this very mont, atop the Lingtian Tower, with this last step, Yang Tian had burst forth!
Now, he was no longer a devil at the late stage of Yuan Ying—he had reached the pinnacle of Yuan Ying, and even directly surpassed the pinnacle, achieving the state of Half-step God!
At this mont, as he gazed at his final step ahead, Yang Tian’s black robe rippled without wind, his long hair flowing freely behind him, and his pair of jet-black eyes radiated an unfathomable, deep black brilliance.
"If I beco a devil, so what?"
Yang Tian laughed wildly as he ascended further. He stepped onto the final step, decisively standing on the eighteenth floor. He stood among the ancient battlefield of fierce combat and the Xixian Blade battlefront.
BOOM!
At this instant, the lights of all seventeen floors beneath the Lingtian Tower extinguished completely, leaving only the eighteenth floor ablaze in a dazzling and scorching brilliance!
The elders of the Dragon Clan and Long Hou were utterly delirious!
For an indeterminate amount of ti, watching the radiant light of the eighteenth floor, the elder Long Hao sighed deeply and uttered: "Indeed!"
"Yes, it is completed!"
The forr Long Lin slowly nodded, muttering: "What kind of person is this boy... even in that instant, I thought he was an old soul reborn. If I beco a demon, so what? This is truly... such magnificent ambition, such breathtaking resolve!"
The forr Long Xiao and other elders of the Dragon Clan, hearing these words, nodded with agreent.
Only the elder Long Juan, with phoenix-like eyes filled with so concern, said: "But what he pursues is the demonic path! Are none of you worried? Since ancient tis, the demonic path has never been simple. Once one loses their ’heart,’ it might... it might turn into the world’s catastrophe."
"Heart, you say?"
Hearing Long Juan’s words, the elder Long Shouxian laughed and replied: "This boy’s willpower is so steadfast, not only did he break through his limits but he endured the cleansing baptism of poisonous miasma to climb to the final floor. I fear his ’heart’ may be far stronger than yours or mine! I’d wager this child may follow the demonic path, but he won’t beco mad!"
"Indeed! A demon, but not a lunatic!"
The forr Long Lin concurred, saying: "What is a demon? Who isn’t?"
As Chen Wenbin once said:
Though the Zhou Family is allied with the Shen Family by marriage, ultimately, the Shen Family is still the Shen Family, and the Zhou Family is still the Zhou Family!
From this perspective, everything becos crystal clear!
And for soone as astute and shrewd as Zhou Fuhai, this clarity was unmistakable!
Thus, when the news of Yang Tian ascending the Lingtian Pagoda reached Zhou Fuhai’s ears, Zhou Fuhai’s entire face grew dark with gloom.
Playing chess with Zhou Fuhai, Zhou Fuyang paused his move and asked, "Brother, isn’t it said that since ancient tis no one besides Tai Pillar has ever climbed this tower? How has this Yang boy managed to..."
"I don’t know why he managed it! But I know he poses a great calamity to our Zhou Family!" Zhou Fuhai replied grimly.
"Calamity? Surely not!"
Zhou Fuyang seed dismissive upon hearing this.
After all, Lingtian Pagoda, as the most significant secret of the Zhou Family, tied by marriage to the Shen Family, was simply regarded as symbolic—but its true aning remained elusive.
In Zhou Fuyang’s view, the Lingtian Pagoda carried symbolic significance, nothing more—a re tower!
So he imdiately laughed and said: "After all, it’s just a tower! What’s the big deal about climbing it?"
"You’re a fool!"
Zhou Fuhai growled angrily at his younger brother: "Do you still not understand the gravity of this matter? Has the Shen Family ever scaled this tower successfully? Has Chenn Bangguo managed to conquer the tower in Beijing? Have you heard of anyone climbing this tower successfully!?"
"This... no! But what does that an?" Zhou Fuyang questioned, confused.
"What does it an?"
Zhou Fuhai exclaid with frustration, as if distraught by a piece of iron’s failure to beco steel: "The aning is imnse! As you said, Tai Pillar is the only one to ever ascend this tower—doesn’t that alone speak volus!?"
"Tai Pillar..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fuyang fell silent.
But before he could mull it over, Zhou Fuhai suddenly stood up and walked away.
Seeing this, Zhou Fuyang hurriedly asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
"Where?"
Sighing deeply, Zhou Fuhai exhaled gently and said, "To the Shen Family!"
...
While Chen Wenbin, Zhou Fuhai, and others reacted to Yang Tian’s monuntal achievent on the tower, so were ecstatic while others were overwheld with shock.
anwhile, Yang Tian sat cross-legged on the eighteenth floor of the Lingtian Pagoda, gazing intently at an exquisite platform before him.
