Breaking the God's Restriction
Why did you stop?
Everyone looked at Luo Jun. They had followed him all this way without encountering any traps or monsters, nor had they gone through Dead Alley. They were getting closer and closer to the pyramid after many twists and turns, but this guy hesitated.
"Take out that magical little knife again," Jin Fei urged. "Isn't that some kind of navigational artifact?"
Luo Jun remained silent for a while, then suddenly walked straight ahead, arriving at the end of the road, beneath the tall building.
Looking up, the buildings here are six or seven stories high, thirty or forty meters tall, almost twice as tall as the three or four-story buildings we first saw on the outskirts.
Luo Jun took a deep breath, slightly squatted down, and then suddenly leaped upwards!
The immense force caused the ground to tremble, but the cracked and scattered bricks quickly filled in and smoothed back together, as if time had reversed, restoring everything to its original state. As for Luo Jun, who was flying up, he was initially too fast to see with the naked eye, but after leaping up more than ten meters, his speed instantly decreased. Before he fell back down, he grabbed the edge of the wall between the third and fourth floors and began to climb upwards.
"What is he doing?" Everyone else was taken aback. Zhuge Chi frowned and said, "He plans to climb over this row of buildings. Judging from the distance to the pyramids, they should be just behind these buildings. If he can climb over them, he might be able to get there!"
"How could that be!" Jin Fei and Ottos both shook their heads, and even Mu Ning looked up at Luo Jun's climbing figure.
When they were struggling through the maze, they had considered scaling the walls, but after trying, they found that as they got closer to the pyramid, not only did the building get taller, but the gravity on the upper levels also became stronger. Ottos could climb at least ten meters on the outer edge and barely reach the third floor, but once he reached the inner circle, he could barely move after climbing to the second floor.
According to their experiments, this magical Gravity Field should begin to take effect at a height of about five meters. Below that height, it is unaffected. Once this height is reached, the flow of vital energy is suddenly restricted, and gravity will also increase significantly. Moreover, the higher you go, the greater the gravity becomes, increasing exponentially.
Now, with only a wall separating them from the pyramids, the restrictions are incredibly stringent. Are they really planning to force their way over that very night?
That's impossible!
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Luo Jun used both his hands and feet to climb upwards step by step, quickly surpassing the third floor!
Already more than fifteen meters off the ground, Ottos swallowed hard, recalling the agony he had felt on the second floor, and couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration.
"He's on the fifth floor!" Jin Fei clenched his fist and said, "He's still climbing!"
"It's almost thirty meters!" Zhuge Chi gritted his teeth, feeling an urge to go up and try. Although he wasn't Martial Combat Faction, his Protective Qi Strength had significantly increased after reaching its Peak, making him the strongest among them.
"We've reached the sixth floor!" Mu Ning exclaimed, no longer maintaining her composure. "He just needs to overcome the final obstacle to succeed!"
"But this is the most difficult..." Zhuge Chi looked at the night hanging on the upper edge of the sixth floor, his brows furrowed.
The ceiling on the sixth floor seems to be higher than the previous five floors, with a half-floor added vertically at the top, making this section a full three meters high!
That's three meters above the sixth floor. Ottos is considered a master, but he could barely move on the second floor. He couldn't even imagine how strong the gravity was on the sixth floor. Let alone climbing up, he didn't even know if his body could withstand such terrifying pressure.
Moreover, the last three meters had no windows, no protrusions, and not even cracks; it was just a flat wall. Under the protection of the Mysterious Power, and without any footholds, it was impossible to climb vertically.
"Give up!" Zhuge Chi shouted. "That last section is an insurmountable chasm. You've already done a great job. Come down, let's find another way!"
However, the night hanging on the sixth floor seemed not to hear Zhuge Chi's shouts, but instead moved slightly and began to adjust its posture.
He can still move, that's already quite remarkable... Hmm? His body is swaying rhythmically up and down... What's he doing?
"His posture..." Ottos's eyes widened. "He's planning to jump!"
"Jump?" the others exclaimed in unison, but upon closer inspection of Ye's posture, it was indeed as if he was preparing to jump!
Yes, facing a smooth wall with no grip, the only way to get over it is to use the edge of the sixth floor as leverage to jump directly to the rooftop!
"This is impossible!" Jin Fei felt his mind go blank.
As Martial Combat Faction, he had personally experimented and calculated the increase in gravity based on altitude. He estimated that even if he could use his vital energy normally, he might not be able to climb to the sixth floor just by bearing gravity. Not to mention that at night, his vital energy would be restricted.
Let alone the sixth level, I estimate that by the third or fourth level, the vital energy would be completely sealed off, and climbing further would only be possible through physical strength. But how much brute force can a person have, and how strong can their body be?
Now everyone is certain that Ye is definitely a monster with extraordinary talent and Root Bone, but no matter how extraordinary he is, he can't possibly surpass Jin Fei at full strength by brute force alone!
In this situation, just being able to move is already quite remarkable; why would he need to jump?
That's absolutely insane!
"Don't do anything foolish!" Zhuge Chi shouted anxiously, watching Luo Jun's retreating figure. "This is impossible..."
He was speaking when someone put their hand on his shoulder. Zhuge Chi turned around and saw it was Jin Fei.
"Let him try!" Jin Fei shook his head. "Under this gravity, falling from that height, even Ye would probably be seriously injured, but compared to this..."
As he spoke, Jin Fei looked up at the night hanging on the sixth floor. "I still want to see where the Limit of the Martial Combat Faction are!"
"Go for it!" From another direction, Ottos Night clenched his fist. "Give it your all!"
Cultivators at the Heart Refining Realm possess a wide variety of abilities, and even Cultivators from the same school may have different goals and methods of cultivation.
But for those who cultivate Martial Combat Faction, regardless of who they are, the ultimate goal is always greater power, faster speed, and higher Protective Qi Strength!
This is a simple faction. The vast majority of people see their Limit early on the path of cultivation, but they still yearn for higher levels. Even if they cannot reach them, they hope to see what higher levels of power are like!
The two's enthusiasm infected Zhuge Chi, and Mu Ning, who was standing to the side, also paid attention to the rooftop. Even Ophelia, for once, looked up.
"Sigh..." Looking at their eager eyes, Zhuge Chi sighed, "I'm such a coward... I'm too afraid of seeing another Ling Yao."
As he spoke, he shook his head, looked up at the rooftop, and shouted, "Night, keep going!"
The words had barely left his mouth when Luo Jun moved!
He strained with all four limbs and leaped upwards, his body rising a considerable distance, but even with his arms outstretched, he was still some distance from the rooftop!
That's how it is. In that environment, just being able to move was already Celestial Person, but ultimately, they couldn't overcome the final insurmountable barrier.
It can be said that the structure of this building was designed so that people could not climb over it.
Everyone sighed, just when they thought Ye was about to fail, when they saw him suddenly pull his legs up, curl up his body, touch the edge of the wall where his fingers had been gripping with his toes, and then straighten his body with all his might and do a double jump.
His body shot upwards again, and his outstretched hands finally hooked onto the top edge of the wall!
But my left hand slipped, and I missed!
"Hiss..." Everyone gasped, but upon closer inspection, Ye's body was hanging from the rooftop, with only his right hand hooked on the wall, trembling slightly.
No, that's not trembling. It's just that the inertia is causing it to sway from side to side, but because the gravity is so great, the swing that was originally like a pendulum becomes a high-speed trembling like a taut string.
"Phew..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't fall... but then they all felt a pang of worry for Ye!
The gravity above the sixth floor is terrifying, simply unimaginable. In that situation, how long could someone hold on with only one hand?
Having climbed this far, he was closer to success, but the gravity was also greater. All he could do now was hang there; if he couldn't hold on any longer, he would fall and everything would be over.
Ye's stamina must be rapidly depleting. Maintaining her current position is a dead end. The only way to break this deadlock is to climb upwards as quickly as possible, but continuing to climb upwards under this gravity is harder than ascending to heaven!
That's impressive, but it ends here...
Everyone present cast admiring yet regretful glances at Luo Jun on the rooftop, and some even began preparing for his treatment after the fall.
"These restrictions are really severe..." Looking up at the rooftop so close at hand, Luo Jun's forehead was covered in sweat as he struggled to stay upright.
This is a bit unexpected... Luo Jun had previously participated in the experiment to calculate the amplification of gravity. At that time, he only speculated about the height above based on his feelings below the third floor. According to Luo Jun's estimate, a height of about six floors should not be difficult for his physical body to handle.
Even if he manages to cross it himself, the others can't keep up, especially Ophelia, the only one who understands the Ancient Parami Language. Without her as a guide, he'll be completely lost if he encounters any problems later on.
Therefore, he always kept bypassing the Great Firewall as a last resort, only using it when there was absolutely no other way.
But after actually trying it this time, he realized he had been too naive.
I don't know if it's because of the proximity to the pyramids, but the Gravity Field here is particularly strong, and there's a sudden and noticeable increase around the fifth level!
At this moment, his vital energy was completely sealed off, and the gravity he was experiencing was more than ten times greater than previously estimated. Only his Root Bone allowed him to withstand it; if anyone else were placed on this, let alone move, they would probably be crushed or broken on the spot...
As expected of a Deity relic, it's really hard to find a loophole... But thankfully, I still have a trump card!
Luo Jun summoned the Dice of Heavenly Secrets panel, used refresh to reset the number of uses for Intermediate Point Correction, and then drew forty-one Attribute Points!
One has three dots, one has five dots...
My luck wasn't great... but with the Intermediate Modification, the roll wasn't the biggest factor anyway.
The twenty attribute points are evenly distributed, and Strength has increased by five points!
Normally, these five points wouldn't seem to cause any noticeable change. But now, he's at his limit, and these five points at this crucial moment, multiplied by the boost from the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm, are equivalent to giving him the strength of over a hundred people for nothing!
Admittedly, the effect of gravity on the body is not a simple matter of addition and subtraction. The extra strength of these hundred people cannot make Luo Jun instantly as light as a swallow, but it does make him feel a significant enhancement!
Using this strength, Luo Jun's arm began to exert force, pulling his body upwards, and his other hand also rose up, firmly gripping the edge of the wall!
"Uh... uh..."
With a low growl, Luo Jun exerted force with both arms, lifted one leg to hook onto the wall, and finally flipped over!
He actually succeeded! The crowd watching below was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into excited cheers!
Jin Fei and Ottos, in particular, these two Martial Combat Faction even hugged each other, so excited they were almost about to kiss.
Night, truly, with a mortal body, broke the Breaking the God's Restriction!
