I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Just as Chu Feng's soul and consciousness were about to collapse and submit,

The golden power within him, originating from the Chu family bloodline, trembled slightly.

An ancient, noble, and supreme will, seemingly above all paths and regarding heaven and earth as mere straw dogs, quietly awakened.

Chu Feng's soul, which was on the verge of collapse, was instantly stabilized.

He raised his head and stared directly into those imperial eyes that seemed to pierce through eternity. His divine will coalesced into a voice, each word clear and resolute, echoing in this void.

"In this world, apart from my parents who gave me life and raised me, and the ancestors of my Chu family, no one is qualified to make me kneel!"

The voice was not loud, but it was resounding, like a sharp sword that cut through the supreme law that made words law!

The illusory image of the Immortal Emperor was clearly stunned for a moment.

For the first time, a flicker of emotion appeared in his otherwise chaotic imperial eyes—surprise.

He traversed countless ages, suppressing an era, and the imprint of his will left behind after his death has tested countless geniuses who ventured into this place.

Some surrendered, some collapsed, and some struggled to hold on.

But Chu Feng was the first person to refuse so decisively and even with a touch of arrogance!

"Oh?"

The Immortal Emperor's tone carried a hint of amusement.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

The moment the words fell, the supreme divine might that enveloped the entire void suddenly surged tenfold! A hundredfold!

boom!!!

At this moment, Chu Feng's soul felt as if it were being struck by billions of stars at the same time, or as if it had been thrown into a cosmic black hole, about to be completely torn apart, decomposed, and obliterated by that terrifying gravity!

An indescribable pain emanated from the deepest part of my soul.

Chu Feng felt his consciousness being peeled away little by little, and his memories being erased inch by inch.

But he still clung to that last bit of clarity in his mind, his jaw clenched, his soul and will coalescing into a single thought.

I won't kneel!

I'd rather die than kneel!

This is Chu Feng's pride!

Even if I die and my soul perishes, this proud spirit must never be broken!

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.

A single breath feels like ten thousand years.

Chu Feng's soul was tormented by endless pain. His consciousness had become extremely blurred and could dissipate completely at any moment.

But his indomitable will was like a tiny spark in the darkness, weak yet never extinguished.

I don't know how much time passed.

Just as Chu Feng's consciousness was about to completely sink into oblivion.

That terrifying imperial might, powerful enough to obliterate even a saint's soul, receded quietly like a tide.

"Haha...hahahaha!"

A burst of laughter, full of appreciation and delight, suddenly exploded in this void, making the entire chaos hum.

"Excellent! Very good! No wonder you possess such blood!"

"Our human race needs someone with a backbone as unyielding as yours!"

"This enduring legacy is yours, so that all that I have learned in my life may not have been in vain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the imposing imperial figure extended a finger and gently touched Chu Feng's brow.

A dazzling golden divine light instantly entered Chu Feng's soul.

……

Outside, atop the Heavenly Ladder.

Chu Feng's body was already soaked in cold sweat, trembling violently, and beads of blood even seeped from his skin.

Below the steps, tens of thousands of cultivators, along with dozens of top geniuses, held their breath, staring intently at the figure struggling to hold on before the ninety-ninth step.

Is he going to lose?

"Nonsense! That's the imperial might left behind by the Undying Emperor! The fact that he's lasted this long is already a miracle!"

"Hmph, you overconfident fool, you'll eventually pay the price for your arrogance!" Shen Wuji sneered repeatedly.

A hint of pleasure flashed in the eyes beneath Yu Luosha's demon mask.

However, just when everyone thought Chu Feng was about to be crushed by that imperial might,

An unexpected change occurred!

Suddenly, Chu Feng's previously bent spine straightened up completely!

His violently trembling body instantly returned to calm.

He raised his head, panting heavily. Although his face was still pale, his eyes were frighteningly bright, as if two suns were burning in them!

He succeeded!

He withstood the final imperial might!

He slowly and steadily placed his foot, which had been suspended in mid-air, onto the ninety-ninth white jade staircase!

The instant his foot touched the step.

hum-

The entire stairway to heaven, along with the magnificent Hall of Immortality, emitted a humming sound as if in submission.

The terrifying pressure that had enveloped the steps vanished completely at that moment!

Chu Feng straightened up easily.

He did not immediately enter the Hall of Immortality, but slowly turned around, looking down at the geniuses below who were completely stunned.

His gaze swept across the faces of Shen Wuji, Lang Tianxing, Mo Yan, and the others, finally settling on the blood-red figure.

He grinned at the Jade Rakshasa, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, and said with a playful expression:

"I'll go in first."

"You guys, take your time."

Having said that, he ignored the faces below that instantly turned incredibly ugly, turned around gracefully, picked up Long Bao'er, took a step forward, and his figure completely disappeared behind the ancient and mysterious palace gate.

boom!

Only after Chu Feng's figure completely disappeared did the deathly silence below the steps finally explode!

"He...he went in?!"

"My God! He actually passed the test of the Heavenly Ladder!"

"This...this is impossible! What kind of monster is he?!"

Tens of thousands of cultivators were in an uproar, their gazes towards the Undying Palace filled with endless shock and... envy!

Meanwhile, on the steps, the faces of Yu Luosha, Shen Wuji, and other geniuses were extremely grim, their faces ashen, as if they had swallowed dead flies.

Especially Yu Luosha, whose delicate body under the demon mask trembled violently with extreme anger, and the chilling killing intent around her almost froze the surrounding space!

What a shame!

This is absolutely the greatest humiliation she has ever suffered since her debut as Jade Rakshasa!

"ah--!"

She let out a shrill scream that sounded inhuman, and frantically climbed upwards, disregarding everything else!
