Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 165 On the Verge of Eruption

Before long, Yu Changsheng arrived at the more than 6,800-plus Heavenly Ladder.

"Sun Shih-Han?"

Looking at Sun Shihhan, who was struggling forward and drenched in sweat, I was somewhat surprised.

"Yu Changsheng? Why are you so late?"

Sun Shihhan also noticed Yu Changsheng, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and spoke weakly.

Six thousand eight hundred steps—this is already the limit for the elite disciples of each peak. It is quite remarkable that Sun Shihan was able to reach this point with her Qi Refining cultivation.

Yu Changsheng looked up at Sun Shihan. Beads of sweat seeped from her face, like morning dew wetting her clothes. She was breathing heavily, and her delicate body trembled, enough to arouse the most primal desire for conquest in many men.

The sweat was mixed with the unique fragrance of a young girl, like jasmine in spring, or a lotus emerging from the water, delicate and pure. The faint fragrance was so enticing that those with weak will might have wild thoughts and become addicted to it.

Fortunately, Yu Changsheng's Dao heart was firm. Although his heart was stirred, it was only slightly. He calmly walked up to Sun Shihan and replied:

"I was held up for a bit by something, do you need any help?"

"You really have it easy; the pressure of over six thousand floors seems to be nothing to you."

Sun Shihhan pursed her lips, looking at Yu Changsheng's relaxed demeanor, not even a drop of sweat on his brow. Although she was surprised, she wasn't taken aback.

Yu Changsheng simply smiled faintly at this. He did feel some pressure, but compared to the physical body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and the divine sense of a Golden Core cultivator, these were far from being his limits.

"Alright, I've pretty much reached my limit. That's enough for now. Miao Wenlun and the others are up there, so please be careful. I'll be going now."

Sun Shihhan glared at Yu Changsheng, naturally not seeking his help. She patted him on the shoulder and then crushed the teleportation jade tube.

"Keep it up, the two of you are the ones who will hold our Beast Taming Peak up."

Sun Shihhan was not surprised that Yu Changsheng was taken away. After gently shaking his head, Yu Changsheng looked up at the Heavenly Ladder in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly.

"It's time to bring this to a close, Huang Suyu..."

Yu Changsheng knew that the person was up there.

More than three hours had passed. Having made up his mind, Yu Changsheng quickened his pace, his steps flying, leaving the steps behind him.

Six thousand eight hundred floors, six thousand nine hundred floors, seven thousand floors...

The moment he stepped onto the seventh thousandth floor, the pressure around him almost materialized, and the air seemed to freeze. Even with Yu Changsheng's current strength, he felt the obstruction.

"Above seven thousand, only those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage can enter."

Yu Changsheng seemed to be deep in thought. If he hadn't already established his physical foundation, he probably wouldn't have been able to set foot here.

As for Miao Wenlun, although he himself has not reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he possesses a second-tier spirit beast, so he is roughly the same.

Continuing uphill, Yu Changsheng slowed his pace after a while, looking calmly at the group of people at the 7,400th step ahead.

At this moment, besides Yu Changsheng, there are only four other people on this step. Yu Changsheng is familiar with two of them, namely Miao Wenlun and Huang Suyu. The other person is Gu Zhen, the number one disciple of the outer sect of Ba Dao Peak. The last one is relatively unfamiliar to Yu Changsheng, but he seems to be a disciple of the Magic Peak.

It can be said that the most outstanding disciple from each peak is here.

The four noticed Yu Changsheng's arrival. Miao Wenlun was pleasantly surprised and waved to Yu Changsheng, while Huang Suyu's expression darkened slightly, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Another disciple from Beast Taming Peak has arrived? Besides Miao Wenlun, does Beast Taming Peak have other experts?"

Gu Zhen was surprised. Looking at Yu Changsheng's relaxed demeanor, a hint of apprehension and curiosity flashed in his eyes. He also noticed the unusual expression on Huang Suyu's face, so he asked:

"What's wrong? Do you know this disciple?"

"It's just a little grudge," Huang Suyu said calmly, the gloom in his eyes disappearing and replaced by a cold glint as he looked coldly at Yu Changsheng.

Before Yu Changsheng could get close, Huang Suyu got up and slowly walked towards him. It has to be said that Huang Suyu was indeed amazing. Even on the seven thousand-plus-layer Heavenly Ladder, his movements did not seem to be affected. His expression was calm, which was in stark contrast to Miao Wenlun, who was at the same level.

On the same steps, Miao Wenlun could barely move an inch, while Huang Suyu, though not entirely at ease, could move forward and backward with ease—that was the difference.

"Yu Changsheng, I'm surprised you got this far. It seems you've taken care of Lei Jingtong as well."

Huang Suyu said indifferently, without making any attempt to conceal her voice. Upon hearing this, Gu Zhen's expression became slightly serious, and his gaze towards Yu Changsheng immediately became interested.

"I was wondering why Lei Jingtong didn't come; you're the one who took him down."

Gu Zhen chuckled twice, but made no other move. He could tell that the feud between Huang Suyu and Yu Changsheng was quite serious, and he had no intention of getting involved.

Yu Changsheng stood there calmly, facing Huang Suyu's gaze directly, neither dodging nor avoiding it, neither humble nor arrogant, showing no sign of panic.

"However, since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I'll settle this matter personally. You killed my brother and destroyed my friend. If I don't avenge this, my sword will be tarnished."

Huang Suyu spoke coldly, and a magical sword appeared in his hand, like a sword immortal descending to earth. He was dressed in a golden straight-cut court robe, with a matching golden spider-patterned belt around his waist, and a jade-green gilded crown on his head. His black hair was tied up inside the crown. He walked step by step towards Yu Changsheng from the steps, carrying endless brilliance.

With each step he took, the longsword in his hand rang out, and the sword intent brewing in the void grew even stronger, soaring into the sky. It even subtly suppressed the pressure on the Heavenly Ladder, and the laws were not manifest. This scene stirred up a huge wave in the hearts of everyone who was watching this place.

"Minor mastery of sword intent!"

"Huang Suyu has actually achieved minor mastery of sword intent! This is something even Golden Core cultivators might not be able to do. His swordsmanship talent is truly astonishing!"

"Among the outer sect disciples, who is still his match?!"

At this moment, as Huang Suyu no longer concealed his power and unleashed his full cultivation aura, everyone, from the elders and disciples who were watching from the outside world to Gu Zhen, Miao Wenlun, and others, was extremely shocked.

"I, Yu Changsheng, have always acted with integrity and uprightness. As for what you said, I admit it is true, but I was only trying to protect myself. As for you, you have been secretly making things difficult for me and sending people to assassinate me along the way..."

"I don't want to discuss right and wrong anymore. Let's just settle things here. After this battle, everything will naturally come to an end."

Yu Changsheng responded calmly, his body not trembling in the slightest due to Huang Suyu's sword intent and aura, like a pine tree standing on the edge of an abyss, standing on the edge of the abyss yet moving forward without hesitation.

Stimulated by Huang Suyu, Yu Changsheng's blood and qi surged like a river, and endless power emerged from his limbs and meridians. The hazy blood and qi formed an armor covering his body, making Yu Changsheng's figure even more imposing. He faced off against Huang Suyu across the air, and for a moment they were evenly matched.
