Chapter 633: Ascending the Hundred Thousand Steps of Green Summit
Now that the Cangqing Grotto-Heaven had opened, the resurrection of the Demon Supre from the Corpse Division was imminent.
The Corpse Division had instructed the Five Thunder Mountain Sect and the Blood Sun Sword Sect to enter the grotto-heaven and assist in the Demon Supre’s resurrection.
These two sects had long remained hidden in silence.
The Five Thunder Mountain Sect had even gone out of its way to cultivate ties with the Heaven Talisman Sect, leading many cultivators to believe it was a righteous sect.
Now, the Five Thunder Mountain Sect and the Blood Sun Sword Sect had finally bared their fangs.
All for the sake of reviving that Demon Supre!
"Once I ascend Green Summit, the Cangqing Grotto-Heaven will surely be thrown into chaos."
Shen Mo shook his head to himself.
This was the final mont of peace.
Since the resurrection of the Demon Supre and Great Demon Emperor had accelerated,
then his ascent of Green Summit had to speed up as well.
He had to seize the treasure of this third trial before the impending crisis arrived!
Green Summit towered high, piercing the clouds.
Standing at its base and looking up, one couldn’t help but feel their own insignificance.
From the foot of the mountain to the peak, there was only one path:
A staircase, step by step, leading upward.
A total of one hundred thousand steps.
Yet each step was more than ten feet tall.
This trial was clearly not designed for humans.
It was built specifically for the dragon race.
Only the massive bodies of dragons could manage such steps.
Step by step, one had to ascend.
Even more daunting—on these stairs, no combat techniques, spiritual power, or blood energy could be used.
All living beings would be suppressed to their most ordinary state.
Human cultivators would revert to re mortals.
Demonic cultivators would beco simple beasts.
Even dragons would be the sa.
One had to rely solely on physical strength to ascend Green Summit—step by step.
This was the third and final trial set by the Cangqing Supre.
Most likely intended to let the trial-takers recall what it was like before they began cultivating.
No matter how strong one becos, never forget the ti when you were fragile and powerless.
In this regard, humans held no advantage.
How could the human body compare to that of the demon or dragon races?
But Shen Mo was different.
He cultivated the blood energy technique known as the Primal Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.
Even just the Giant Elephant Chapter placed it among Heaven-grade techniques.
And that was only the first Chapter.
If he could add in the Dragon Elephant Chapter, Primal Elephant Chapter, and Divine Elephant Chapter,
then the level of this blood energy technique would rise to an unimaginable tier.
In Shen Mo’s view, even Supre Saint-grade techniques were far from enough to describe it.
As for levels beyond Supre Saint, he had never even heard of them,
so naturally, he didn’t know.
Having cultivated the Primal Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, Shen Mo’s physical body was far beyond that of an ordinary human.
Not just humans—even among demons and dragons, few could compare to him.
The natural limitations of the human body had already been compensated for by his cultivation.
Now, all he had to do was climb step by step, leaving footprints with every step, heading straight for the summit!
"Advance."
With a sudden push, Shen Mo leapt over ten feet, landing steadily on the second step.
Then he repeated the motion—third step, fourth step, fifth step.
He didn’t feel the slightest bit of pressure.
Only after reaching around the ten-thousandth step did he begin to feel a bit of strain.
"It seems ten thousand is a threshold. The Cangqing Supre must have specifically arranged increasing gravity."
Shen Mo pondered this, paused at the ten-thousandth step to get accustod, then resud his ascent.
He had already realized—crossing the Jade Bridge was a test of the soul, while ascending Green Summit was a test of the body.
This third trial was also a perfect place to temper the physical body.
The Cangqing Supre had truly gone to great lengths to train the younger generation of dragons.
Shen Mo had already reached around the thirty-thousandth step.
Only then did Yin Zanghua, Yue Xinglou, and Ao Can arrive, trailing behind.
They looked up, squinting into the distance, and could only make out a tiny black dot steadily climbing upward.
Ao Can smacked his lips. "Damn it, who the hell is that? We just got to the base of Green Summit, and he’s already at thirty or forty thousand steps?"
"Is he trying to make sure no other dragons survive?"
Yin Zanghua said nothing and stepped onto the staircase.
Yue Xinglou said calmly, "Once we pass the third trial, Palace Master Yin, don’t think of running. I rember the severed-arm grudge all too well."
Yin Zanghua didn’t even turn her head. "This ti, it won’t be your arm. I’ll be sending your head rolling."
Yue Xinglou’s gaze remained cold as he followed her up Green Summit.
Ao Can scratched his head.
He had no interest in getting involved in the feud between Xuan Yin Cave and the Heaven Talisman Sect.
So, without a word, he too began to climb.
Not long after the two n and one dragon entered the trial, three more figures arrived.
They were Xiang Bai of Myriad Elephant Holy Land, Hu Xinyue of the Blood God Demon Court, and Shi Tianhao.
Shi Tianhao looked drained, as if all his energy had been sucked out of him.
He appeared dejected.
The disappearance of that jade slip had left him utterly dispirited.
Now, standing at the base of Green Summit, he forced himself to focus again.
"After climbing Green Summit cos the Dragon Tomb."
"I’ll wait for him at the Dragon Tomb. Others might not be able to beat him, but Shen Mo? I can take him."
"If I can seize his golden page, I’ll obtain the Cangqing Samsara Cauldron."
Taking a deep breath, Shi Tianhao slowly adjusted his state of mind.
Xiang Bai, however, didn’t imdiately start climbing. He surveyed his surroundings carefully.
"The demonic aura is even thicker now, but the three trials haven’t changed."
He frowned deeply.
Ever since entering the Cangqing Grotto-Heaven, he had been sensing a dense demonic aura.
But no matter how strong it beca, he couldn’t find its source.
It was as if it had appeared from nowhere, perating the entire grotto.
Even now, standing at the foot of Green Summit, there was still no sign of where it ca from.
With no better option, he too stepped onto Green Summit, heading toward the Dragon Tomb, intending to assess things further along the way.
...
Spirit Sea. On a remote island.
Dark, surging demonic aura churned through the air, as if demon gods were howling and roaring.
From above, one could clearly see a colossal formation in full operation.
All the corpses thrown into it were instantly drained of every drop of blood, flesh, and soul.
Then, they were pulled into the ground and vanished without a trace.
Zhao Zhenting, Mo Huanghai, and Xiong Tianxing hovered in the air above, silently watching.
Beside them stood their most trusted disciples.
Ye Yan was among them.
Unable to hold back, Ye Yan asked, "Master, what happens next?"
Xiong Tianxing smiled slightly. "Beneath the Dragon Tomb lies the resting place of the Demon Supre and his subordinates. With the demonic aura now so rich, a Great Demon Emperor will be the first to revive."
"The prodigies of the five top sects are bound to pass the third trial and reach the Dragon Tomb."
"At that point, they’ll all die—used as nourishnt for the Demon Supre’s resurrection."
"Only the imnse vitality in their bodies is enough to support the Demon Supre’s revival."
Ye Yan now understood and nodded slightly.
"To think we’ve actually beco allies of the demon race," ca a strange laugh in his mind from Lin Dongtian. "But this feeling... it’s oddly satisfying."
"As long as it makes stronger, becoming a demon ans nothing to ," Xiao Fan said calmly.
He had, after all, reincarnated as a demon.
So what?
Even the Human Emperor Ji Xuan, the master of all three races, had sought to harness the life force of the Undying Demon Emperor to return.
To beco strong by walking the demonic path—that was only natural!
