When the two people struggled to cross the nine hundredth step, the surrounding Sea God's Light had completely transformed from gold to a heart-stopping red-gold color.
Bo Saixi stopped again. She did not look back, but looked at the last few dozen steps above. Her voice seemed a little ethereal under the heavy pressure:
"Once you get here, go up again. Every time you take a step, the pressure you bear will be doubled. If you want to continue upward, you must reach the Soul Power foundation of level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo."
"As for wanting to reach the top and stand in front of the gate of Sea God Temple... then you must reach the true peak level ninety-nine before you can do it."
Bo Saixi turned his head slightly and looked at Nan Feng behind him with his peripheral vision, "Although Soul Master and Soul Power are clearly divided into levels from level one to level ninety-nine, even within the same level, there will be a huge gap in the quality and background of Soul Power."
"If we compare level 1 Soul Power to a bottle used to hold water, then each level Soul Master is upgraded is equivalent to the capacity of an additional bottle, and the higher the level, the larger the new bottle."
"Even if the two Soul Masters have the same number of bottles, the actual combat power is completely different whether the water in their bottles has just been filled with a little bit, is half filled, or is completely full and is about to overflow."
Bo Saixi turned around and looked directly into Nan Feng's eyes. "Although it sounds like there is only one level of difference between Level 98 and level ninety-nine, in fact, if this last bottle is really full, it will be bigger than the previous ninety-eight combined!"
"I can clearly sense that the Level 98 Soul Power you are showing now is just a step into this realm. You haven't even filled the huge bottle belonging to Level 98, let alone level ninety-nine."
"With your current level, it is absolutely impossible to climb up. If you try to climb up, you will be crushed by Sea God's Light."
"Oh?"
After listening to Bo Saixi's detailed "water bottle theory", Nan Feng not only did not retreat, but raised his eyebrows with interest.
"The high priest's theory is very sound, but... you haven't tried it yourself, how do you know that I won't be able to get up there?"
Bo Saixi looked at Nan Feng who was not crying even without seeing the coffin, his eyes were slightly cold, and he reminded him extremely seriously:
"This is your first time climbing Nine Heavens Mystic Stairs, and the pressure up here is no child's play. Even if it is the first time for a real level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo to face this kind of pressure, when you successfully climb to the top, you will exhaust the last bit of Soul Power and physical strength in your body."
"This is Sea God Island. You are here alone. If you have to try it forcefully, you'd better think about your fate in advance."
Bo Saixi's eyes showed unabashed intimidation. "Whether you succeed in climbing to the top or fail and are ejected, you will be absolutely weak for a long time in the next long period of time. Facing me, you will have no power to resist!"
Upon hearing this extremely threatening warning, Nan Feng not only did not stop, but instead smiled extremely relaxedly.
"Whether you have the power to resist or not, it doesn't seem to matter, right?"
Nan Feng patted his clothes, raised his head, faced the red-gold light that could crush mountains, and said in a brisk tone:
"I'm not here to fight with you."
"What's more..." Nan Feng's heterochromatic eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, "Didn't the high priest just say that himself? I am the distinguished guest you personally ordered to 'invite' me!"
The moment the words fell.
Nan Feng didn't even deliberately mobilize the Soul Power defense in his body. Instead, he directly faced the shocked gaze of Bo Saixi, stepped forward with his short legs, quickly passed the high priest, and stepped onto the 901st step without hesitation!
"Boom--!"
The moment Nan Feng stepped on the nine hundred and first step with his right foot, the rich red-gold light around him seemed to come alive instantly.
The terrifying weight was like 100,000 tons of sea water, hitting him hard!
Nan Feng's originally careless face froze slightly, and he took a deep breath.
If he could still treat the pressure of the 900-step ladder as a load-bearing cross-country and handle it easily, then from this moment on, he really had to be prepared.
However, all the cowhide has been blown out.
In order to protect his unfathomable reputation as an expert, Nan Feng gritted his teeth and resisted the heavy pressure that was enough to crush Titled Douluo's bones and tendons.
On the surface, he still maintained his calm appearance, and even the frequency of his steps did not change. He continued to walk upward step by step at the same unhurried pace as before.
Level 910, Level 930, Level 950...
Finally, while climbing the 960th step with great difficulty, Nan Feng stopped completely.
To be honest, he already felt a little regretful now.
"That's sloppy. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have acted like this..." Nan Feng complained secretly in his heart.
It's too heavy! The pressure has reached an incredible critical point. Nan Feng feels that if he takes another step forward, this clone made of pure energy will definitely be crushed on the spot!
Even if he is just standing there, in order to resist this all-pervasive Sea God's Light, the Soul Power in his body is being consumed crazily at a terrifying speed like a dam bursting.
At this moment, Bo Saixi's calm figure seemed to shrink to an inch and came to his side lightly.
Looking at Nan Feng, whose legs had begun to tremble slightly and could hardly walk, Bo Saixi's eyes did not ridicule, but calmly stated a fact. "If you retreat now, you still have a chance to save this body that cost a lot of money. But if you go further, once Soul Power loses control, you will really have no way to retreat."
"Back off?"
Nan Feng took a deep breath, turned his head, and put on an extremely strong and arrogant smile on his pretty little face, "I have already come here, if I retreat in despair now, wouldn't I, Demon God Douluo, be very shameless?"
After saying that, Nan Feng looked hard, raised his legs suddenly again, and took a step forward!
Level 961!
"Click..."
Following this step, Nan Feng's next steps were extremely tragic.
Under the crazy crushing of the red-gold Sea God's Light, his originally flawless energy clone finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to become extremely unstable.
Tiny cracks like broken porcelain began to appear on the surface of his fair skin!
A Sisi strange and deep pale purple light is overflowing uncontrollably from those cracks.
Looking at the body in front of him that was about to fall apart at any time, Bo Saixi on the side once again felt a turbulent wave deep in his eyes.
This is simply unbelievable!
It's obvious that this body is on the verge of collapse, and the internal energy structure has begun to leak out, but why... with her demigod-level mental power, she still can't follow the cracks to spy on the core essence of this clone?!
What kind of unnatural means was used to fabricate this existence?
But just when Bo Saixi thought that Nan Feng's limit had reached this point and this body was about to turn into a point of light and dissipate, a sudden change occurred!
"Buzz--!"
Nan Feng's body, which was constantly shattering, actually stopped disintegrating in an instant, and even began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At the same time, a terrifying aura that was extremely cold, extremely dark, completely not human, or even belonging to any normal creature in this world, burst out from Nan Feng's body!
Evil breath!
Nan Feng, who was staying on the 980th step, had a flash of madness in his eyes.
He knew very well that with the normal Soul Power foundation of his current avatar Level 98 in its early stages, it was absolutely impossible to reach the top. If he continued on forcibly, this avatar would inevitably collapse completely within a few steps.
Although his body is just a ball of energy, his true soul origin has always been safely in the bodies of Spirit City and Bibi Dong. Even if the clone is crushed here, at most his soul will suffer a little backlash and shock, and he will not be able to condense the clone again in the next month. There will be no worries about his life.
But... that would be so embarrassing!
If he failed to show off in front of Bo Saixi today and his clone was shattered, and then after a month-long cooling-off period, he would come back with a new body...
In the eyes of Bo Saixi, his action of "risking his life and boarding Sea God Island himself" today does not have any "sincerity"!
