Chapter 409: Reaching the Summit!
The entire Heavenly Stairs shook violently, as though it were on the brink of collapsing.
Thunder and lightning roared, consuming everything in its path.
The bright, blinding lightning spread across the Heavenly Stairs, enveloping the entire structure.
“Incredible, can Su Yi endure this?”
Some disciples were left speechless, trembling under the overwhelming might of the heavens.
“If he fails to withstand this, our Divine Sword School will lose a truly remarkable genius. But if he triumphs, Su Yi could very well become the greatest disciple the school has seen in at least several thousand years!”
Far away, powerful cultivators from the Divine Sword School in the void stared at the intense storm, their hearts pounding with unease.
Above the emptiness, an aura of power shifted unpredictably.
The Heavenly Stairs continued to quake and echoed through the air.
Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide, unable to believe what they were witnessing!
“Can he truly endure this?”
Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing held their breath, afraid to make a sound. Their hands clenched into fists, their nails digging deep into their palms, a testament to their anxiety.
Although the confrontation itself only lasted a few moments, to those watching, it seemed like an eternity.
The atmosphere was thick with tension, making it hard to breathe, as if time itself had frozen in place.
Eventually, the storm began to subside, and the brilliant lightning slowly faded.
The surroundings turned an eerie pale, as even the winds and clouds seemed to vanish as if an omen of doom had passed.
The sunlight began to break through, clearing the air, and the thunderclouds dissipated as though they had never existed.
Those watching held their breath, waiting in anticipation, their hearts racing. The atmosphere felt as though time had come to a halt.
As everything began to clear, at the very top of the Heavenly Stairs, above the seventh level, a figure stood.
That young man had successfully stepped onto the seventh level.
Su Yi stood tall, his black hair flowing freely, his left hand gripping his sword. He was bathed in a brilliant beam of light, radiating a fierce and indomitable energy. His eyes glowed with a fiery crimson hue, as he looked down upon the world.
At that moment, Su Yi felt the full weight of his exhaustion. His body was battered, nearly broken, supported only by the remnants of his shattered sword.
But despite the pain, Su Yi felt immense joy. He had ascended the Heavenly Stairs through his own strength, without relying on any external powers from the mysterious space.
“Boom!”
A deafening sound echoed through the air as a golden light descended from the heavens, surrounding the Heavenly Stairs.
The glorious golden light continued to fall, eventually enveloping Su Yi.
As the radiant light encased him, an overwhelming surge of power flooded through Su Yi.
The energy around him rippled, visible to all. Su Yi’s body shimmered with a golden aura, while misty vapors clouded the view. His aura swelled and ascended.
In an instant, Su Yi’s visible injuries vanished, and his complexion became healthy once more. The energy within him surged with renewed vigor.
With his body radiating a divine light, Su Yi now stood as a towering figure over the Heavenly Stairs, a young war god who gazed down upon the mortal world with disdain.
The crowd could only stare in shock and awe, unable to comprehend the scene before them.
“What’s happening?”
At the distant mountain peak, where the clouds met the sky, Situ Liuyun’s figure rose into the void, his gaze fixed in disbelief upon the Heavenly Stairs.
“I understand now. Su Yi has succeeded, ascending the seventh level through his own strength. This is the reward granted by the Heavenly Stairs!”
Around them, the cultivators from the Divine Sword School spoke in hushed tones, their voices quivering.
The youth had ascended to the top of the Heavenly Stairs, relying solely on his own abilities.
He had succeeded, reaching the summit. The feat was so extraordinary that it could rival, or even surpass, the innate talent of the Heavenly Grade.
“Is this really happening? Su Yi has reached the summit!”
The area was filled with stunned expressions, disbelief evident on every face.
Su Yi had truly reached the summit, something only those with the legendary Heavenly Grade talent could achieve. They were witnessing the birth of a living legend.
A person of average talent, relying only on his own efforts, had climbed to the very top of the Heavenly Stairs. It was nothing short of terrifying.
“Our Divine Sword School is on the verge of greatness!”
On the towering peaks, even the Right Dharma Protector’s eyes were widened in shock, his heart deeply moved.
“This child is extraordinary. Our Divine Sword School will rise to new heights!”
Situ Liuyun emanated a powerful aura, his expression filled with astonishment and disbelief.
“I always knew you could do it!”
Xu Jiahui looked up, dressed in the standard disciple uniform of the Divine Sword School. Yet, her radiant presence could not be hidden. Her charming dimples and sparkling eyes were captivating.
“Could Su Yi now be the number one disciple of our Divine Sword School? This is truly incredible!”
An uproar spread through the crowd. Su Yi was proving himself to be terrifying beyond measure. Rumors had painted him as a Heavenly Grade talent—ferocious, powerful, and capable of conquering anything.
And now, he had shown that he was more than a match for the legendary Heavenly Grade talents.
“Boom!”
On the Heavenly Stairs, the progress seemed slow but was, in reality, rapid. To the eyes of the onlookers, Su Yi’s energy reached its peak in an instant. Glowing with golden light, his energy soared like a dragon in flight. With a single breath, he ascended to the next level.
“He actually broke through?”
The crowd was left dumbfounded. The young man, already an imposing figure, was now breaking through right before their eyes.
“He’s ascended the Heavenly Stairs—this is the reward of the Heavenly Stairs!”
In the distant void, a powerful figure spoke with authority.
“The Heavenly Stairs were set in place by the predecessors of the Divine Sword School, bridging the heavens and earth. Su Yi has climbed the Heavenly Stairs, enduring the crushing power of the heavens. His reward will be more than just a breakthrough—it will refine the celestial energy, the greatest benefit he can receive.”
An elder spoke with a voice filled with reverence, his eyes gleaming like stars.
The Heavenly Stairs connected heaven and earth, and the rewards Su Yi received at this moment came directly from the celestial realm.
At this moment, Su Yi stood with his eyes closed, surrounded by golden light.
No one noticed the thin layers of skin that fell away from his body amidst the shimmering radiance.
This was the result of all he had endured during his ascent, from the crushing pressures to the physical strain.
The old skin shed away, revealing a more translucent and resilient form.
In that moment, the golden light from the Heavenly Stairs seemed to separate everything from the world. No one could discern the subtle changes happening within Su Yi’s body. It was a transformation like no other.
Only Su Yi himself understood that the energy flowing into his body was refining his Indestructible Vajra Body, making it more flawless and perfect than ever before.
Had a powerful cultivator seen what was happening to Su Yi’s body, they would have been utterly stunned.
Such a physique was terrifying, on par with the young beasts of the demon clan—and even fiercer.
Su Yi’s physical body seemed to have reached the very pinnacle of its potential.
