248 Suppressing the Geniuses at the Peak
Song Shi was even happier. It seemed that this Demon Venerable wanted to kill him. He was looking forward to it.
In the outside world.
Seeing the dark-skinned old man speak, the Jade Cloud Sect gritted their teeth.
This old man was one of the two Demon Venerables of the Snake Clan. His true form was a Black Water Snake. With the other party backing him up, they were really not his match.
“Snake Clan, this is the territory of the human race. Don’t go overboard.”
The leader of the Wind Nation spoke slowly. His strength could not compare to the Black Snake Demon Venerable, but he was one of the Human Sovereigns. His words carried a lot of weight.
Demon Venerable Black Snake snorted and did not say anything else.
A few demons that wanted to eat humans were intimidated. They were afraid and did not act recklessly again.
The entire Immortal opportunity platform fell silent. Everyone had reached their limit. After this restoration, it would be the last wave of attacks.
Song Shi looked at Chen Yiling and the rest.
Lu Youyou reached the 8,600th step, Luochi reached the 8,800th step, and Chen Yiling actually reached the nine thousandth step after one hundred steps.
On the side of Great Qian, other than the crown prince who had arrived at the nine thousandth step, there were two men in black, a man and a woman. They seemed to be from the Sky Demon Cult.
There was no one from the Heavenly Corpse Sect. That was because most zombies had a lifespan of more than two hundred years.
He continued to walk up more than ten steps. After his Nomological power was exhausted, he sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated the Bloodseeker Technique, releasing a circle of blood light before severing his meridians.
A few seconds later, the exhausted Song Shi’s eyes lit up and he recovered completely.
“I will go to the finish line and wait for these guys.”
Song Shi formed a seal and began to mobilize all his strength.
When he refreshed his status, the cultivators and demons from all directions also had time to retract their gazes and discuss who was most likely to be the first to reach the summit.
“It seems that the Crown Princess of the Nine Nations has a deeper foundation. After all, with the support of the royal family, the other factions are slightly inferior.”
“So what if she’s the crown prince’s daughter? In the past, there have never been more than five people who reached the top. I don’t think there will be many this time.”
“Look, the Qian Nation’s crown prince’s dragon qi is boundless. He should be the one with the highest chance of becoming the first person to reach the top.”
“It’s hard to say. The Li Nation’s Crown Princess and the Southern Barbarian Clan’s Young Clan Leader are not simple either.”
“The demons are not bad this time. We have to be careful that they won’t steal our resources.”
“Have you forgotten that Blood-Robed old ghost of the Heavenly Ghost Sect? He has always been in the lead.”
“Him? I think he’s doing it on purpose. He won’t be able to charge forward anymore.”
In the past hundred years, most of the top geniuses of the continent had appeared in front of everyone. Now that they were going to use a special method to rank them, many people were even more excited than the geniuses themselves.
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful Nomological power surged through the Void, startling the people who were chatting leisurely. They looked in a certain direction in surprise.
Song Shi’s skin and bones were golden, and his entire body was covered in golden flames. Amidst the flames, there was even sword qi rampaging. Red patterns appeared between his brows.
He had activated the power of Hiderigami’s contract.
This contract was a little insufficient now. In the past, it could double his strength. Now, the increase was less than seventy percent, but it was completely enough.
Bang bang!
Song Shi stood up and stepped firmly on the steps. He endured more than ten times the pressure and walked past the steps.
The humans and demons who were recovering looked over.
“He recovered so quickly?”
“I’ve just started. It’ll take at least half a day. How did he do it?”
“I remember he was just walking around.”
The geniuses present were all a little shocked. They were curious how this person had the strength to erupt again in such a short period of time.
The crowd watched the show with rapt interest.
“Heavens, is he going to be the first to reach the top?”
“Dark horse, this person has really become a dark horse!”
“If he can do it, the royal families of the various countries will lose face.”
The crowd was in an uproar. Many of them jumped up on the spot, their faces pale with shock.
“This guy!”
Jiang Sha’s mouth widened subconsciously. The Blood-Robed old ghost had already shocked him several times today, but he still could not calm down.
Ever since he came to participate in the conference, he had never thought that this person would be able to achieve anything. He was more interested in his strength and hoped to take care of Lu Youyou and the others.
Initially, he had asked this fellow to come over and assist. However, he did not expect this old ghost to be able to do this. In the entire history of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, it seemed that only the founder of the sect had done this before.
Which one of these people wasn’t at the top of the world, suppressing all the heroes?
Chen Yiling’s beautiful eyes lit up, “He can still walk. So the confidence he showed in the past is real.”
“Damn it, this guy really got it.”
Luo Chi complained, but he still said in admiration, “I can’t go against this guy in the future. If I can’t win now, I can’t win in the future even more.”
Lu Youyou had mixed feelings. When she was bullied by this man for the first time, she swore to take revenge. She felt that with her talent, she would be able to get back at him sooner or later.
However, each performance proved that the gap between them had not decreased and was still widening.
At this moment, the other party’s actions of reaching the top had already shown that this man’s foundation had surpassed hers.
Judging from this guy’s other abilities, she probably wouldn’t be able to catch up to him in this lifetime. What should she do?
The various geniuses revealed grave expressions. Before they came, they thought that their opponent would be someone of the same race. In the end, this kind of beast would jump out and surpass them in terms of foundation.
The Immortal opportunity platform tested one’s foundation, not their cultivation level.
Whoever had a deep foundation would be the first to reach the top. In the past, there were Foundation Establishment cultivators among the people who reached the top.
Song Shi’s enemies were panicking.
The more solid his performance was, the greater the threat he would pose to his enemies in the future.
“I have to kill him as soon as possible!”
The Ye Family’s patriarch was extremely solemn.
Not only were the prodigies and the various factions afraid.
The various kings, Demon Venerables, and other powerhouses also began to look at Song Shi seriously for the first time.
According to tradition, those who could reach the top of the Immortal opportunity platform, as long as they did not die, could basically grow to their level or even surpass them.
In other words, this person had the potential to reach the Soul Transformation realm in the future and had a high chance of ascending to the Upper Realm.
One of the kings looked at the leader of the Qian Nation, whose expression was not too good, and said, “This person is from the Qian Nation. Regardless of whether it’s the Heavenly Ghost Sect he’s currently in or the Blood Refinement Sect he was previously in, they were all exterminated by you guys, right?”
The Qian Nation’s ruler’s gaze was cold. “It’s normal for a person who has been reborn through possession to have a deeper foundation. After all, he spent so much time cultivating.”
“That’s true. Now that he has a deep foundation, it doesn’t mean that he’ll still be the same in the next realm. Without top-notch inheritances and resources, he’ll slowly fade into the crowd.”
The other king agreed deeply. He retracted his gaze and stopped paying attention.
At the 9,900th step of the Immortal opportunity platform, Song Shi was sweating profusely, his back was clearly bent from the pressure.
His gaze fell on a nearby ball of light. After walking another 30 steps, he grabbed a ball of light.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Void shook, and an ancient scroll descended from the sky. After opening it, it was a painting of mountains and rivers. There were immortals walking in the air, and every step they took was a mountain.
The painting contained a mystical meaning. Song Shi felt a powerful divine power when he saw it.
Song Shi did not have much time to look at it. He put away the scroll and gritted his teeth as he climbed the last part.
Every step was slower than the last. Song Shi really wanted to walk on his stomach, but in the end, he held himself back. It took him nearly fifteen minutes to complete the last step.
