Crossing the First Trial

Bo Saixi said, "I won't ask anything else, let's begin climbing the steps."

Unable to use Martial Soul or Soul Bone Skill throughout the entire process, it's simply impossible to climb to the top step by step with only Level 90 cultivation.

However, this is only his first time climbing stairs, so let him get used to it gradually.

After he comes down, we can go hunt for the ninth Soul Ring. By then, he will be stronger and can regroup and challenge others properly.

"Okay." Yu Mingxiao replied Teleportation to the foot of Sea God Mountain on the opposite shore, where the steps leading up the mountain were right in front of him.

The moment Yu Mingxiao stepped onto the stairs, he immediately felt a slight pressure. Perhaps because his physical body was strong enough, this pressure had no effect on him.

Yu Mingxiao composed himself and continued walking up the steps at a moderate pace, reaching the Level 100 step in no time.

At that moment, the pressure from the steps changed dramatically, increasing threefold in an instant.

Yu Mingxiao ignored the pressure and continued to climb upwards, remaining completely unaffected.

After gradually adapting to the pressure here, he stopped taking his time walking up the steps and started speeding up.

If you really can't keep going, you can just stop and rest for a while.

However, he overestimated the pressure of the steps on Sea God Mountain. He rushed all the way up to 950 steps before he finally felt a little tired, but his pace and momentum did not decrease at all.

He only stopped after reaching the 995th step, feeling the increasingly terrifying pressure from the Sea God's Light descending from above.

It wasn't that he lacked the strength to charge, but rather that he had other plans.

Yu Mingxiao drew upon the Golden Dragon King Heart Blood in his Second Sea of Consciousness, channeling it into his limbs and bones, and began to meditate cross-legged.

In an instant, an unstoppable surge of immense energy exploded within him. Under the violent impact, a mouthful of blood mist sprayed directly onto the Sea God Steps, only to be instantly washed away by the Sea God's Light and vanished without a trace.

"These six drops of the Golden Dragon King's Heart Blood are indeed incredibly powerful. Even with my current physique, I couldn't suppress that violent impact. However, after refining them, my physique should experience a leap forward, and even my Martial Soul will change..."

Yu Mingxiao thought to himself.

The next moment, the Second Sea of Consciousness formed by the Life Gold awakened, and rich life energy surged out from the Sea of Spirit, constantly repairing the damage caused by the violent energy of the Golden Dragon King, just like immune cells besieging and killing viruses that invade the human body.

Just as Yu Mingxiao had expected, the relentless pressure of the Sea God's Light, while immense, was not violent; rather, it was relatively gentle.

It firmly locked his limbs and meridians, slowly grinding away the ferocity in the dragon blood, preventing the violent power from running rampant in his meridians, and just enough to suppress the restless Golden Dragon King Heart Blood within him, forcibly protecting his body.

Gradually, the Golden Dragon King Heart Blood flowed through his meridians throughout his body, seeping into every corner and gradually merging with his flesh.

His blood and energy surged, and his physical body began to undergo a gradual transformation...

The Divine Realm.

"What is this guy doing? Why is his blood boiling? Could it be that he just refined something to temper his body?"

The Sea God had been observing Yu Mingxiao's condition. Just as he was about to rush up the 1001st step, he suddenly stopped and stopped moving, which puzzled the Sea God.

"Furthermore, even his Martial Soul Origin has changed; that aura is faintly similar to that of the Golden Dragon King from the Forbidden Land of Gods. Could what this kid just refined be the essence of the Golden Dragon King...?"

A thought crossed his mind, and he stroked his chin, pondering it silently.

As for where the essence of the Golden Dragon King came from, He did not delve into it.

It's no wonder that Yu Mingxiao has reached this point, thanks to his exceptional luck and extraordinary encounters.

"This kid's potential has increased again, so why is he unwilling to inherit my Godhood? What's wrong with my position as the Sea God?"

Sea God sighed, feeling increasingly frustrated but helpless. Ever since he learned of Yu Mingxiao's unparalleled genius, he hadn't really looked up to any other geniuses.

Sea God Mountain.

Not long after Bo Saixi stepped onto the steps at Yu Mingxiao, she returned to the Sea God Temple, which was entirely made of white jade.

She stepped outside the hall, intending to check on Yu Mingxiao's progress in climbing the steps.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked; once I did, I was completely stunned.

Yu Mingxiao was sitting cross-legged on the steps not far below, just a few steps away from the top!

"This... his physique is actually so outstanding, he climbed up 995 steps in one go, it seems he's cultivating now?"

Bo Saixi suppressed her shock and astonishment, looked down at Yu Mingxiao, and muttered to herself.

She never expected that she could climb so high with only the cultivation of a Level 90 Quasi-Title Douluo.

No one knew better than her just how terrifying the pressure of the Sea God Steps truly was.

Even if she were given a chance to retake the test, even with her current cultivation level Limit Douluo, she wouldn't be confident of reaching the top of the 1001st step.

But the boy in front of her completely shattered her long-held beliefs.

"This is perhaps a true genius. No wonder the Lord Sea God so highly. Perhaps he really can reach the top of the 1001st step in one go..." Bo Saixi sighed inwardly.

Before long, Yu Mingxiao had completely refined the six drops of the Golden Dragon King Heart Blood. He suddenly opened his eyes and concealed the extremely condensed aura around him.

Looking up, I saw Bo Saixi standing above me.

He immediately stood up, completely ignoring the weight of the steps, and strode up.

The entire set of movements was fluid and seamless, without the slightest hesitation, as easy as walking up ordinary stairs.

He already had the ability to climb the 1001 steps, and now that his physique has become even stronger, it is naturally easier for him to walk.

With the blessing of several top-grade Spirit Bone, and the tempering of his body by the blood of the Golden Dragon King, his physique has reached the God-level.

"You... you're up here already?"

Bo Saixi was dumbfounded.

She originally thought that Yu Mingxiao was stuck at level 995 and couldn't climb any higher, so he meditated and adjusted his state to try to climb a few more levels.

"Yes, I guess I'm in pretty good shape. Climbing these steps didn't seem too difficult," Yu Mingxiao said.

Bo Saixi: "..."

Listen to this, is this even human language?

The requirement for passing the Top-level Eight Trials was 228 steps. Starting from the 222nd step, the last six steps were like a hellish test for her, and she still can't forget them to this day.

In your mouth, it somehow turned into something that didn't seem so difficult.

These 1001 steps require at least Limit Douluo level to withstand the immense pressure, and even Limit Douluo might not be able to withstand them, easily being crushed or thrown off.

You, on the other hand, climbed up there so easily...

Just then, a voice rang out in Yu Mingxiao's mind.

"Crossing Sea God's Light, ascend the 1001st step, pass the test, and the reward is an increase of 5000 years in the age of all your Soul Ring."
