Chapter 1016, Heavenly Spirit Divine Body

Translator: Silavin

Heavenly Spirit Divine Body. Such people were naturally capable of communing with spirits. No wonder these two supreme experts would disregard their dignity to this extent.

Regarding their shamelessness, Su Hua appeared long accustomed to such behaviour. She chuckled lightly, saying indifferently, “As long as you can persuade her, taking her away is fine.”

Hearing this, both Elders’ expressions immediately fell.

The Heavenly Spirit Divine Body was the Daughter of the one with Innate Yin Energy. How many times had they tried speaking with her? Every time they had returned disappointed!

They had even deliberately concealed their identities to approach the Heavenly Spirit Divine Body. After playing with her for several days, not only had they failed to persuade her even slightly, but Little Ling’er had plucked considerable amounts of their beards and hair.

Even within Lunar Palace, Little Ling’er only heeded Lu Linghan and that Old Ancestor. They truly had no recourse, which was why they had attempted to approach through Su Hua.

However, what they did not know was that among those ascending the Heaven Stairway below, Little Ling’er would obey a certain individual’s words without question.

…

The golden stairway stretched across Heaven like a bridge. At this moment, figure after figure struggled to move forward upon it.

Currently, the stairway manifests various phenomena. All manner of powerful Martial Souls and rare Physiques erupted with tremendous momentum, enveloping figure after figure.

At the very front, like a blazing sun radiating blinding light, stood a single figure. It was still Bo Wanyang. At this moment, he had reached the fiftieth stair!

However, even with the Great Sun Divine Body, upon reaching the fiftieth stair, his speed had become extremely slow.

Behind Bo Wanyang, prodigious talents like Ying Xinghui had all deployed their advantages. Rare Physiques or unusual Martial Souls. Without exception, all were extraordinarily powerful.

However, these individuals lagged behind Bo Wanyang by nearly ten full stairs!

Further back, hundreds upon thousands of figures occupied stairs ranging from the twentieth to thirtieth. Periodically, experts unable to resist that pressure originating from the Heaven Stairway would tumble down. As spatial ripples appeared, they had manifested upon the platform below, their failure announced.

Upon the twentieth stair stood a figure whose steps were difficult and slow, body moving with tremendous effort.

This figure was Qin Yichen. Currently, his gait appeared unsteady, halted at the twentieth stair.

At the twentieth stair, Qin Yichen felt his very skin beginning to tear. His physical body far exceeded those in the same realm. Even ordinary Martial Ancestors could not compare with him.

Yet under this pressure, his proud Physique seemed nonexistent. Fresh blood began flowing from numerous small fissures.

Regarding all this, Qin Yichen’s expression showed no change whatsoever. As though he perceived no pain at all.

Mu Yanfeng followed behind Qin Yichen. Watching that figure whose garments were gradually soaked through with bloody sweat, his face showed deep emotion.

“Junior Brother Qin, don’t push yourself too hard.” Mu Yanfeng sighed softly. Based purely on qualifications, he could currently reach approximately the thirtieth stair. However, worried about Qin Yichen, he had remained behind him.

Yet regarding Mu Yanfeng’s dissuasion, Qin Yichen seemed not to hear it. His eyes held no trace of retreat. Even the nimble quality usually present had vanished.

The next moment, under Mu Yanfeng’s observation, Qin Yichen stepped forward once more.

*Psh!* A vivid crimson wound split open across his shoulder. Immediately blood gushed forth, flowing down his body, leaving bright red footprints upon the golden stairs.

More and more blood flowed from Qin Yichen’s body. Even across his face, bloody marks appeared. His vision had become obscured by this scarlet blood. Yet regarding all this, Qin Yichen still showed no reaction. His steps were firm and heavy as he continued forward.

“Stop going forward, Junior Brother Qin! Your body can’t withstand this!” Regarding Qin Yichen’s current state, Mu Yanfeng grew increasingly anxious. This clearly stemmed from despair over Feng Qianxue’s departure!

Most critically, he had not known Qin Yichen’s willpower had reached such a terrifying level. Though clearly unable to endure, he still had not been expelled from the Heaven Stairway.

Instead, his body under this oppression had gradually begun collapsing.

Even the baptism received from passing each stair proved completely insufficient.

“Junior Brother Qin, wake up!” Mu Yanfeng could not help shouting loudly.

“Eh? Isn’t that person Sacred Master Candidate Qin?”

“*Sii…* A Martial Emperor actually reached the twenty-first stair?”

“That’s already impressive. But his condition seems somewhat worrying.”

Suddenly, many people noticed the commotion here. As exclamations rang out, countless gazes turned toward that figure struggling to advance upon the twenty-first stair.

Watching that blood-soaked figure whose feet still showed no intention of stopping, countless faces showed deep emotion.

Logically, once the body could not endure, that Heaven Stairway should expel the person. Yet no one knew what was happening with Qin Yichen now. Though his body had begun collapsing, he still stood upon the Heaven Stairway, resisting pressure that exceeded his physical limits.

Above Saints Heavenly City, this commotion also drew their attention. Su Hua and the other two’s gazes likewise fell upon Qin Yichen.

Watching Qin Yichen persist continuously, even they could not help showing slight emotion.

Currently, Qin Yichen bore countless wounds. Even those possessing tremendous willpower would likely be unable to endure such injuries. Yet he had not even frowned once.

What kind of resolute mentality could persist through this?

Or perhaps… had Qin Yichen sunk so deeply into the shock of Feng Qianxue’s departure that he had become something like a walking corpse?

*Boom!* Qin Yichen’s nearly mechanical advancement finally, upon stepping onto the thirtieth stair, caused his feet to stumble. One knee crashed to the ground.

The thirtieth stair was something even Bo Wanyang had needed to fully activate his Great Sun Divine Body to withstand it. Currently, Qin Yichen’s body had not been instantly crushed into bloody mist by this pressure already exceeded expectations.

Throughout Saints Heavenly City, earth-shaking clamour erupted.

Amid that overwhelming noise, the blood-soaked Qin Yichen raised his head with difficulty. Through blurred vision, he gazed at the stairs extending before him. Golden light pervading, endless pressure grinding forward.

“Is it because I’ve been too accommodating that anyone can bully me?” Under this terrifyingly extreme pressure, Qin Yichen murmured inwardly.

In this moment, his expression became exceptionally resolute. Within his eyes, vitality gradually returned.

Perhaps… he should change his consistently low-key approach…
