"boom--!"
Above the white jade steps, a bolt of dark golden lightning tore through the clouds.
There was no hesitant pace, no arduous journey.
Lu Sheng's figure paused only briefly on the 888th step before, like an intercontinental ballistic missile defying gravity, hurtling upwards with a piercing sonic boom!
890...895...898...
This scene not only stunned the level 10 powerhouse below who was still moving at a snail's pace, but also made the air in the ancient bronze palace at the top of Immortal Ascension Island freeze a bit.
In front of a giant water mirror.
Several elderly men, their auras as deep as the ocean, each had a different expression.
"That's interesting."
The white-haired old man sitting in the main seat stroked his beard gently, a hint of admiration flashing in his cloudy eyes. "Above 800 steps, each step is like carrying a divine mountain. Ordinary people need to adjust their breathing for a long time to take even one step at ten levels. This kid actually dares to rush?"
"That's because he hasn't encountered a real obstacle yet."
Beside him, Elder Xingtian, clad in crimson armor and with a full head of red hair, snorted coldly and said in a gruff voice, "On the path to immortality, nine is the ultimate number. 899 steps is ultimately just the pinnacle of the mortal realm. As long as one's foundation is deep enough, one can grit one's teeth and persevere."
"But the 900th step..."
A hint of solemnity flashed in Elder Xingtian's eyes. "That is a watershed. Crossing it will make you an unparalleled genius who will suppress an era. If you can't cross it, no matter how fast you run ahead, you will ultimately just be a slightly larger mortal."
Before he could finish speaking...
Within the water mirror, Lu Sheng's figure had already reached the 899th step.
He showed no sign of slowing down, lifted his right foot, and slammed it down heavily onto the 900th step!
"Buzz—!!!"
The instant his foot touched the step.
An unprecedented, terrifying will, as if the sky were collapsing, descended without warning!
That wasn't gravity, nor was it a simple soul impact.
That's a rejection of the rules!
It was as if the entire Immortal Ascension Island was roaring at this tiny intruder: "Kneel! Mortals cannot ascend to heaven!"
Lu Sheng's previously unstoppable momentum suddenly froze.
The frenzied sprint came to an abrupt halt.
He felt as if he were being held down by an invisible, ancient giant hand, his feet feeling as if they were filled with billions of tons of molten lead, firmly rooted to the spot.
Under the pressure of this terrifying rule, the black casual clothes instantly tore into countless strips, revealing the strong, iron-like muscle lines beneath.
"It has stopped."
Inside the bronze hall, the beautiful woman in palace attire shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with regret, "Indeed, the chasm of 900 steps is not so easy to cross. It is already a miracle that he has reached this point with his level nine body, but his foundation is ultimately lacking."
"It's over." Elder Xingtian also made his judgment. Although he was somewhat regretful, it was also reasonable. "Being able to force this kid to his limit, this path to immortality wasn't opened in vain."
Everyone was waiting.
They waited for Lu Sheng to be blasted away by that terrifying force of rules, or to fall awkwardly to the ground on this step, panting heavily.
however.
Despite being at the center of the oppressive aura, Lu Sheng's expression did not show the pain the elders had imagined.
He lowered his head slightly, his dark golden vertical pupils staring at the steps beneath his feet, while a smug smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
"This is the 900-step staircase?"
Lu Sheng stretched his neck, and his cervical spine made a "crackling" sound.
"It is indeed a bit heavy."
"The power of normalcy... seems a bit insufficient for this situation."
next second.
He suddenly raised his head, and two balls of golden flame, powerful enough to incinerate the heavens, burst forth from his eyes!
"Since the normal way isn't working..."
"Then let's transform."
With a thought, the ancient golden dragon that had been dormant within him was suddenly awakened!
"Snap—!!"
"roar--!!!"
A dragon's roar, originating from the deepest part of his bloodline and carrying the supreme majesty of an emperor, exploded from his body!
Under the astonished gazes of several elderly men.
Lu Sheng's body began to undergo the most primitive, savage, and insane transformation!
Bones grow rapidly, muscles tear and regenerate!
Dark gold dragon scales, shimmering with a metallic sheen, covered his entire body like a tide!
The ferocious dragon horns pierced the void, and the thick dragon tail whipped the air apart!
In just one second!
The suppressed human youth disappeared.
Instead, there was a dark gold demon god, five meters tall, exuding an ancient and primordial aura!
[Human-Dragon Form] - Activate!
"Open it... for me!!"
A ferocious roar erupted from Lu Sheng's gaping maw covered by a mask.
He suddenly straightened his spine!
boom--!!!
A terrifyingly powerful aura erupted from him in all directions!
The oppressive force of the 900th-level rule that had been suppressing him was actually pushed back by his terrifying physical body!
Dead silence.
Inside the bronze hall, the elderly men who had seen countless storms and even witnessed the rise and fall of numerous geniuses were all frozen in place.
Even the most composed white-haired old man had a few strands of his beard accidentally pulled off, but he was completely unaware of it.
Their gazes were fixed intently on the five-meter-tall dark gold demon god reflected in the water mirror, their expressions incredibly varied.
What...is that?!
"This aura..."
Elder Xingtian suddenly stood up, his movement so forceful that it overturned the bronze chair behind him, creating a loud crash.
His large, bell-like eyes were now devoid of any of their previous composure, replaced only by incredulous horror.
"This absolute, unparalleled imperial aura...this perfect form of slaughter..."
"Is that a real dragon?!"
Xing Tian practically roared out the last two words.
True dragon!
These two words have almost become terms from myths and legends in this day and age.
That was the overlord of heaven and earth in the ancient era, the supreme being standing at the top of the food chain!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The beautiful woman in palace attire paled, her voice trembling, "The dragon race was completely wiped out in the great calamity at the end of ancient times, their bloodline severed! Those so-called sub-dragons and flood dragons of today are nothing but bastards tainted with a trace of dragon energy!"
"But this kid's aura..."
She pointed at the water mirror, her fingers trembling, "That oppressive feeling emanating from the depths of my bloodline even made the spiritual source within me tremble instinctively... What else could this be but a true dragon?!"
Within the water mirror.
Lu Sheng had no idea how much psychological trauma he had inflicted on these old fogies.
After transforming, he only felt great!
The oppressive feeling of being bound by rules vanished, replaced by boundless power.
"call--"
Two scorching white jets of air shot out of his nostrils, like two fire dragons.
He lifted his foot, which was covered in thick dragon scales, and slammed it heavily onto the 901st step.
"Bang!"
The seemingly indestructible white jade steps have developed a tiny crack!
