Earth Supreme

The dense Tribulation Clouds had only just dispersed when new ones appeared once more—denser and even more terrifying than before.

The mighty pressure filled the void. Some low-realm cultivators felt as though a mountain had suddenly crashed down upon them, making even their breathing exceedingly labored.

Even the prodigies on the Heavenly Ascension Ladder were affected. Fortunately, a mysterious radiance soon surged forth automatically, enveloping the entire Heavenly Ascension Ladder.

Clearly, it was the ladder's own defense mechanism.

Even so, it still allowed the group of prodigies to clearly sense the terrifying pressure of the Tribulation Clouds.

"How could this be?"

Fairy Liuli, Young Master Wangchuan, the second prodigy of the Profound Palace, and Ming Yi—originally nineteenth on the God Ranking—simply could not believe their eyes.

In their view, Lu Ming's progress seemed far too rapid and far too smooth.

Looking back over the past ten thousand years, although quite a few people had broken through on the Heavenly Ascension Ladder, they had either broken through from Pseudo Venerable to Human Venerable or from Lower Rank Human Venerable to Mid Rank Human Venerable, and so on.

Yet never had anyone broken through from Quasi Earth Venerable to a true Earth Supreme.

Not even during the peak of the Heavenly God Trial ten thousand years ago, when Sword Venerable and Mysterious Venerable had taken part.

Because this hurdle was difficult to cross smoothly even for top-tier prodigies.

Otherwise, there would not be so many seven- or eight-hundred-year-old Quasi Earth Venerable prodigies in the trial now.

Some of them had already remained in this realm for three or four hundred years.

Now, one had actually appeared. He could be called the only such person in ten thousand years.

"Looks like we have one more powerful opponent now."
