Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

0As he passed by the Outer Sect disciples that were slowly climbing up the stairs, Chen Yu attracted countless envious, jealous, and even resentful gazes!    1

    

When he met Yinn Zhen and the other people he was close with, Chen Yu stopped to say a few words of greeting and then continued. As a result, it took him three times longer to pass the second section than the first.    

    

Then, Chen Yu arrived at the second platform.    

    

There were fewer Outer Sect disciples on this platform, only a few hundred of them, and the vast majority of them had Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage strength.    

    

After Chen Yu arrived, these Outer Sect disciples began to recognize Chen Yu and were equally shocked.    

    

As Chen Yu continued to head up the stairs, a shadow suddenly parted the crowd and blocked his way.    

    

"Hmm?" Chen Yu was a bit surprised.    

    

This was a practitioner of Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage, Chen Yu felt that he had never seen him before.    

    

"Surnamed Chen, you actually have the qualifications to participate in the battle of Heaven Stairway? Isn't it unfair for the sect?" Today, I will definitely not tolerate you stepping onto this final Heaven Stairway! " The man glared at Chen Yu and said loudly.    

    

All of the warriors on the platform had their eyes fixed on the scene.    

    

"Out of the way!" Chen Yu said calmly.    

    

"The Heaven Stairway is not only used to climb this ladder, it also allows warriors to fight for the seat of the inner disciple. Chen Yu, your crimes are heinous, but you are still alive and well. The sect favors people like you too much. Today, as long as every single Outer Sect disciple stands out to stop you, there is no possibility for you to become an inner disciple. If you want me to get out of the way, then defeat me first! " Fan Yin shouted in anger.    

    

As Fan Yi's words spread, the eyes of many warriors on the second platform lit up.    

    

This' Heaven Stairway 'was a competition for the position of inner disciple. Even though Chen Yu's name was fierce and illustrious within the Outer Sect, he was still not enough to scare anyone. If Chen Yu couldn't get the inner disciple spot, then that would be something that many people would love to see!    

    

Fan Yin's words were quite provocative!    

    

Chen Yu was indeed very strong, this had been proven a year ago in the massacre. However, on this Heaven Stairway, everyone's strength was affected by the gravity and they were suppressed. Chen Yu was no exception!    

    

If they were to fight here, their advantage in numbers would be infinitely magnified.    

    

The most important thing was that the time was not early anymore. There was at most another hour before the sun set. As long as Chen Yu was delayed, he would have no chance of becoming an inner court disciple.    

    

As a result, at this moment, due to Fan Yin's instigation, many of the Outer Sect disciples were stirred up.    

    

When Chen Yu saw everyone's reaction, the corner of his mouth rose into a mocking smile.    

    

Returning his gaze to Fan Yin, Chen Yu said lightly: "Defeating you is too easy!"    

    

Saying that, Chen Yu didn't bother to wait for anything. He took a step forward and punched directly.    

    

It was a very, very ordinary punch, and it did not even release any Supreme Qi.    

    

He spread his legs, arched his back, and his aura surged into the shape of a spear, shining with sharpness.    

    

This strike was also extremely sharp, but under the gravitational pull, the Supreme Force seemed to have dimmed a little.    

    

Facing the sharp aura, Chen Yu did not dodge. His fist's momentum was so great that only the surface of his fist had a bloody glow.    

    

It was a blood-red flame.    

    

The moment the Blood Flame appeared, Chen Yu's punch contained a trace of alluring charm.    

    

BOOM *    

    

His fist landed squarely on the tip of the spear that was condensed from the Astral Qi, and the long spear instantly exploded. Chen Yu, however, did not stop at all, his fist continued forward and smashed straight towards Fan Jian, with an unstoppable momentum.    

    

Fan Yin's expression changed.    

    

In the battle one year ago, although Chen Yu defeated Du Jueqing and killed four warriors at the ninth level of Heavenly Astral Stage including Mo Soong, that was only due to the might of the Earth Rank Spiritual Soul.    

    

However, this exchange of blows had not caused any trouble for Chen Yu. He had clearly seen that Chen Yu's fist did not even have a wound. This had shocked him!    

    

Due to the sharpness of the Astral Energy, while the Astral Energy congealing spear art was ordinary, it was also the most practical technique in actual combat. It was also a powerful offensive technique.    

    

And after this attack method hit, even Chen Yu's skin could not be torn apart. This was a bit scary. How strong must one's body be to be able to achieve such a state?    

    

Fan Qin, who was completely unaware of the power of the blood flames, was extremely shocked, but his reaction was still quite fast. He raised both his arms and took the stance of a defender in front of him.    

    

The Astral Qi layer layer after layer gathered on the Yin and Yin arms, with flickering dragon patterns on them, showing their extraordinary understanding of the Dao of Qi Manipulation.    

    

BOOM *    

    

Chen Yu's fist landed directly on Fan Jian's arms. Fan Qin felt as if a mountain had shattered, and the force of this punch far exceeded his imagination and knowledge. His face changed, and before he could make a move, the dragon mark on his arms shattered, and his body flew out, falling to the ground. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he was unable to get back up.    

    

Chen Yu ignored Fan Yin, who was severely injured by his punch, and continued to move forward.    

    

"Chen Yu, Evil Bandit, return my brother's life!" At this moment, a sword light flashed.    

    

A practitioner of the same Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage, whose face was filled with anger, made his move.    

    

The sword flashed like lightning, arriving in the blink of an eye.    

    

However, in Chen Yu's opinion, the speed of the sword was still obviously affected by the gravity of the Heaven Stairway.    

    

Chen Yu did not dodge and pointed with his finger.    

    

The sharp Astral Energy brought with it a tinge of blood as it pierced through his finger. Its speed was even faster than the sword light.    

    

Blood spurted out of the man's ankle. His body staggered and his sword suddenly tilted. Chen Yu only slightly tilted his body and the sword aura flew in front of him and landed in the air.    

    

Chen Yu was too lazy to look at the man, he turned around and looked at the other Outer Sect disciples that were ready to make a move, and with an indifferent expression he asked: "Who else?"    

    

Many Outer Sect disciples took in a breath of cold air. Facing two Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage practitioners, Chen Yu actually only used one technique each, his strength was not inferior to Du Jueqing's.    

    

Moreover, this omnipresent gravity didn't seem to have any effect on Chen Yu at all!    

    

Those who were ready to make a move became silent.    

    

Chen Yu sneered. Without further ado, he stepped onto the stairs.    

    

All eyes were still on Chen Yu.    

    

Chen Yu's body sank down again as an enormous gravity grabbed onto him, causing his body to feel as heavy as a mountain. Even the Astral Energy in his body was stopped at this moment, unable to circulate.    

    

At the last part of the Sky Stairway, the gravity doubled yet again. Even though Chen Yu was mentally prepared, he still stumbled a little before regaining his balance.    

    

The degree of this gravity was equivalent to the full strength of a practitioner at the ninth level of Heavenly Astral Stage, and was quite strong. It was no wonder that so many Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage Warriors were unable to reach this position, and could only watch from the second platform.    

    

"His level of cultivation is still not enough. It looks like he won't be able to reach the top of the Heaven Stairway!" Some of the Outer Sect disciples' eyes lit up, their voices carrying undisguised traces of schadenfreude.    

    

"No matter how strong his physical body is, he won't be able to go far if he is unable to circulate his True Divine Spirit Aura!"    

    

"Let's see how he will fight for the inner court quota!"    

    

"…"    

    

All kinds of mocking sounds entered Chen Yu's ears, and he could not help but find it funny, but he was too lazy to respond, he raised his head and looked at the last flight of Heaven Stairway. On this section of Heaven Stairway, the number of people had greatly decreased, on the seven to eight miles long white jade Heaven Stairway, there were no more than four to five hundred silhouettes, and most of them were still trying their best to climb towards the top.    

    

The blood flames moved in unison. Chen Yu walked forward calmly.    

    

On the platform, the sounds of ridicule and schadenfreude abruptly stopped.    

    

The Outer Sect disciple who mocked Chen Yu earlier had his face turn red, as if he had swallowed a fly.    

    

Chen Yu turned around and smiled. He kept walking, but his footsteps were very light.    

    

To Chen Yu, the pulling power of a practitioner at the ninth level of Heavenly Astral Stage had an effect, but it was not to the point that it was impossible to overcome. He cultivated the Blood Flame Tyrant Spell. After the appearance of the hundred blood flames, his physique had already surpassed the Heavenly Astral Stage, and was not one bit inferior to ordinary Spirit Accumulation Stage practitioners!    

    

The significance of the blood flames to Chen Yu was not only that they were used to cast the blood arts and supernatural powers, but also that the blood flames could reach every corner of his body under his control. The blood flames were burning every corner of his body, causing his physique to become even stronger.    

    

During this period of time in the Seventh Layer of the Punishment Tower, Chen Yu's body had been tempered by hundreds of blood flames, and his bones, flesh, skin, and even his internal organs had all become extremely powerful.    

    

Therefore, in the span of nearly a year with Punishment Tower, Chen Yu's strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and he was not only at the Qi Disciple stage, but also at the Qi Disciple stage.    

    

Under the dumbstruck expressions of all the warriors on the platform, Chen Yu walked away.    

    

Chen Yu walked up from the group of warriors that were trying their best to climb up, and his gaze fell on a man sitting upright about ten meters away from him.    

    

"I knew you wouldn't die that easily!" The man had a beautiful face with a tired smile. It was Gongsun Hao!    

    

"Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage?" Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw his old friend.    

    

"I just broke through the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage, but it's very obvious that it's still not enough. I thought I could reach the last one hundred steps!" Gongsun Hao revealed a look of helplessness as he said.    

    

"It's already not bad!" Chen Yu said, "I believe that you will reach the top sooner or later!"    

    

Gongsun Hao shook his head and waved his hand: "Seeing you so relaxed, I don't have any mood left. Hurry up and go up, otherwise I will be so jealous that I will go crazy!"    

    

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing. Without saying anything else, he walked past Gongsun Hao.    

    

Not long after going up, Chen Yu saw Gu Ming and Ye Qing. Gu Ming and Ye Qing were the same; they also had the strength of Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage.    

    

After a few short sentences, Chen Yu continued to move up.    

    

Then Chen Yu saw Feng Xuan and Feng Xiao. Both of them heard the sound of footsteps. They turned around to look at Chen Yu and their expressions changed.    

    

Chen Yu walked over to Feng Xuan with an expressionless face. Feng Xuan's expression kept changing. He was gritting his teeth as if he wanted to make a move, but in the end, he did not.    

    

It was allowed to make a move on the Heaven Stairway, but Feng Xuan was not confident in facing Chen Yu. Compared to Chen Yu's light movements, every step he took was extremely difficult. To make a move in this state was undoubtedly asking for humiliation.    

    

Following that, Chen Yu passed many other warriors in the ninth level of Heavenly Astral Stage. Under the astonished gazes of these warriors, he approached the peak of the Sky Stairway.    

    

Looking around, one could already see the top 100 steps of the Heaven Stairway. On the side of each step, there was a stone platform that was about a foot high, just big enough for a person to stand on.    

    

A hundred stone platforms were already filled with people, but there were still many martial artists standing on the white jade steps, glaring at them like tigers stalking their prey. Most of these warriors had outstanding Outer Sect.    

    

Chen Yu appeared to have easily approached the last one hundred steps, which caught his attention.
