The Nine Heavens Palace.
Ling Xiao stepped into the palace, and suddenly he saw a bright light and chaos before his eyes. He came to a chaotic void.
"Ling Xiao?" A surprised voice came.
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he discovered that in the center of the chaotic void in front of him was a huge altar, made of colorful divine stones, emitting dazzling light, ancient and vicissitudes of life.
The six people, the heirs of the Temple of War God, the Buddhist son Kasyapa, Qingdi, Zhao Ritian, Zhu Biao and Qingyun, were standing on the altar.
And that voice came from Zhao Ritian.
The heir of the Temple of War God and the Buddhist disciple Kasyapa and others looked at Ling Xiao with some surprise. Obviously, they were also surprised that Ling Xiao passed the eighth level.
“Ling Xiao, I didn’t expect you to be a ninth-level genius. It seems I still underestimated you! But this ninth level is not so easy to pass!”
Zhao Ritian looked at Ling Xiao with some caution.
In this ninth level, the two people Zhao Ritian feared the most were the heir of the Temple of War God and Ling Xiao.
Zhao Ritian knew that as long as he passed the ninth level, he would be able to become the successor of the Red Dragon God of War. However, the descendants of the Temple of the God of War had a profound foundation and might have some way to pass the level. Ling Xiao even had the Red Dragon God of War's wordless book in his hand, so Zhao Ritian was very afraid of both of them.
"Oh? The ninth level?"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes. He only knew that the ninth level was the God of War Level, but he had no idea how to pass it, and no corresponding information came to his mind.
Ling Xiao looked at the ancient altar in front of him.
The altar is a hundred feet high, emitting five-colored rays of light all over. It looks ancient and mysterious, with chaotic mist lingering around it. A stone staircase leads directly to the top of the altar, but no one climbs up the steps.
"Ling Xiao, this stone staircase leads directly to the top of the altar. It is the Heavenly Road. If you can reach the top, you should be able to pass the test! However, I'm afraid you don't dare to climb the Heavenly Road!"
Seeing that Ling Xiao ignored him, Zhao Ritian still came over and said, "You're very shameless."
"Oh? Is there anything strange about this heavenly road?" Ling Xiao said lightly.
"Of course! On the road to heaven, there are all kinds of disasters, the tempering of the heart in the mortal world, magical powers, and most importantly, the laws of heaven and earth. If you are not careful, you will be crushed into dust! Do you want to give it a try?"
Zhao Ritian looked at Ling Xiao with some gloating expression.
Before Ling Xiao came, the six of them had already tried that heavenly road. It contained a terrifying power of laws. Every time they stepped on a level of stone steps, a terrifying power of laws would descend. Even the heirs of the Temple of War God retreated after trying it.
That kind of power is too terrifying and beyond human power to contend with. It is almost the power of a god!
"Heavenly Road? Okay, let me try!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, with a sharp look in his eyes, and walked towards the Heavenly Road!
Boom!
When Ling Xiao stood on the first stone step, the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly roared, the void trembled, chaotic mist filled the air, and a terrifying law of heaven and earth descended, as if it was going to crush Ling Xiao into powder.
"You really dare to try it!" Zhao Ritian widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
You know, there are probably thousands of stone steps leading to the top of the altar, but even the heir of the Temple of War God only tried nine steps and then retreated.
After Zhao Ritian stood on the seventh stone step, he felt the terrifying power of the law and retreated.
"act recklessly!"
The heir of the Temple of War had a gleam of light in his eyes and said indifferently.
"This guy is really strong! Qingyun, how many stone steps do you think he can last to?" Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qingyun and said.
"I don't know! But I can only hold on to nine stone steps at most! The power of the laws on this heavenly road is too terrifying!"
Qingyun held the purple-gold divine spear in his hand, with chaotic divine light flashing in his eyes. He stared at Lingxiao's back and spoke slowly.
"Nine stone steps? You overestimate this kid too much. Even I only managed to hold on to seven stone steps. I think this kid can only hold on to five at most!" Zhu Biao said with a grin.
"He's stronger than you and me!"
Qingyun said lightly.
"Tsk, you think too highly of him, don't you? Wait until this kid falls off the stone steps, and then I'll show you how I'll teach him a lesson!"
Zhu Biao looked at Ling Xiao with some dissatisfaction.
Boom!
Ling Xiao was surrounded by dazzling golden light. Although the power of the laws of heaven and earth was strong, it was still unable to stop him. Ling Xiao stepped onto the second stone step.
"Heavenly Road? Is it the same as the one on the Five-Colored Divine Mountain? Could it be that the Red Dragon God of War is on top of the altar?"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes. Walking on this heavenly road, he actually felt an extremely familiar breath. It was very similar to the heavenly road he saw on the Five-Colored Divine Mountain.
Boom!
When Ling Xiao stepped onto the second stone step, the laws of heaven and earth around him became more and more terrifying. The thunder was blazing, and the earth and sky were shaking, as if they were going to turn everything into dust.
But Ling Xiao's eyes were calm and his steps were firm as he stepped onto the third stone step.
What happened next left Zhao Ritian dumbfounded.
The fourth stone step!
The fifth stone step!
The sixth stone step!
The seventh stone step!
…
Ling Xiao seemed to be unaffected and stepped directly onto the eighth stone step. At this moment, even the heir of the Temple of War God's expression changed slightly.
Ling Xiao's eyes were very calm, the Wordless Heavenly Book seemed to have merged into one with his soul. The void was trembling, the laws were descending, but it had no effect on him.
Like a gentle breeze blowing on his face, Ling Xiao stood with his hands behind his back and walked towards the altar step by step.
Boom!
Ling Xiao stepped onto the ninth stone step, and then onto the tenth stone step...
"How can this be?!"
Zhao Ritian's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
He knew how terrifying the power of the laws on the Heavenly Road was. Even the heir of the Temple of War God had only tried nine stone steps. How could Ling Xiao be so worthy as to surpass the heir of the Temple of War God
"This guy... How could he possibly withstand such a terrifying power of law?" Zhu Biao's eyes almost popped out, full of disbelief.
"Maybe he is the one we are looking for! Let's go!"
Qingyun's eyes lit up at this moment.
Chaotic mist filled the air and Ling Xiao's figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The heir of the Temple of War God also had an extremely cold look in his eyes.
"That is... the power of the Wordless Book!"
A huge wave of emotion rose in the heart of the heir of the Temple of War God, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He finally understood why Ling Xiao could embark on the road to heaven so easily.
"Damn it! The inheritance of the Red Dragon God of War is mine, and no one can take it away!"
The heir of the Temple of War God had a sharp look in his eyes as he also walked towards the Heavenly Road.
Boom!
He was surrounded by chaotic divine light and his blood was surging. He was like a heavenly emperor, bathed in the power of billions of laws, walking towards the altar.
