At the foot of Artifact Mountain.
After the God Emperors of the various factions began ascending Artifact Mountain to undergo the will test, only a small number of God Emperors remained below the mountain.
Other than Luo Feng, the remaining God Emperors were all relatively weak in will and had no confidence in passing the test. Of course, none of them left. Instead, they stayed behind to wait for other opportunities.
At the Cultivator Faction's position, more than thirty God Emperor experts remained at the mountain's foot, gazing up at the Stone Stairs.
Although the Five-Colored Mist blocked one's vision after a tester entered the Stone Stairs, making it difficult to see far ahead, the God Emperors at the mountain's base who had not taken part in the test could clearly see the condition of every expert undergoing it.
"With so many God Emperors competing, I wonder who will obtain that final Second Specific Secret Treasure?" a God Emperor said as he looked up the Stone Stairs.
"According to the test's rules, it will probably be difficult for God Emperor Perfected experts," said another God Emperor Perfected expert beside him.
"Yes. Look, Zhan Mo, Jin Feng, and the other strongest God Emperors are climbing far more slowly than some Mid God Emperors and late-stage God Emperors." A black-robed God Emperor nodded. "I never expected the test on Artifact Mountain to be unfavorable to us God Emperor Perfected experts. I wonder whether that Law Domain that has yet to appear—"
"No, look! Li Ze!" A God Emperor's startled cry suddenly interrupted the black-robed God Emperor. "He's climbing so fast, far faster than the other strongest God Emperors!"
That cry instantly drew the attention of all the God Emperors from the Cultivator Faction to Li Ze.
"How can he be so fast?"
