"Just eight thousand layers—what's so difficult about that?!"
Xiao Yan's voice echoed across the Heavenly Ladder, its reverberations spreading throughout the entire Heaven's Pride Battlefield.
Eight thousand layers!
Throughout the Eternal Immortal Realm's long history of countless Epochs, only one person had ever reached that height.
It was a monument gazed upon by countless later generations, a myth etched into every historical record of the Eternal Immortal Realm!
And now, that myth had been shattered!
And it had not been shattered by one person!
It had been shattered by fourteen people at once!
How earth-shaking was that?!
Zhuge Feng, Xiao Yan, Su Ling'er, Xiao Lingxi, Ye Qingyao, Mu Lingxian, Zhao Tianlong... all fourteen Peerless Immortal Kings of the Human Realm now stood upon the eight-thousandth step.
Not a single trace of protective immortal light had risen around them.
Their breathing remained as steady as ever.
Their expressions remained calm as still water.
As though eight thousand layers were nothing more than an ordinary flight of steps to them.
That was what was most shocking to the extreme!
The entire Heaven's Pride Battlefield, with its hundreds of millions of powerhouses, fell into unprecedented disbelief.
On the western viewing platform, the Celestial Court powerhouses who had just been cheering themselves hoarse over Di Cang reaching the eight-thousandth layer stood with their mouths agape, yet could not make a sound.
For a moment, they were struck dumb, choked with emotion!
Their eyes were wide, yet they could not believe what lay before them.
Those old monsters who had lived for who knew how many hundreds of millions of years, those veteran Immortal Kings who had witnessed the rise and fall of countless ages, all felt an absurd sense of bewilderment to the utmost extreme.
Eight thousand layers!
For one person to climb it
