Chapter 2354: There Is No One Who Can Reach The Top!

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

After completely activating his Primordial Spirit and Blood Force, Gu Jianshan appeared much stronger.

His speed increased exponentially and each step he took was a feat. In a brief instant, he left Han Sheng far behind him.

“Strong indeed!”

Han Sheng’s eyes narrowed and he pushed himself forward. Two long Sword Primordial Spirits appeared above his head. One gold and one silver, they reflected a brilliant hue of light.

Not only that, a terrifying destructive aura filled Han Sheng.

Han Sheng strode forward and chased closely after Gu Jianshan. He did not appear to be any slower than Gu Jianshan.

“Hehe, he doesn’t know his place!”

Behind them, Tuoba Liuming couldn’t help laughing, he didn’t give full chase.

It didn’t matter how fast one was, the last thousand feet was the real test.

Compared to pushing oneself forward at full strength, it was better to conserve energy to defend against the last few steps of Sword Radiance.

Su Mo’s face remained calm although Origin Energy surged in him strongly. His Blood Force had been activated and his defensive capabilities were strong.

Each step he took was careful and he wasn’t much slower than Gu Jianshan.

Yun Mu’s speed was comparable to Su Mo and the two drew the distance between them and Tuoba Liuming smaller.

Qianhuan Demon Lord followed closely behind Su Mo and he was only a thousand feet behind Su Mo.

On the other hand, the others were left far behind by Su Mo and the other top talents.

Buzz~

Just as the group ascended up the mountain, auras continuously seeped out Gongsun Jia who was seated down on the mountain. His body was like a vicious beast about to sprint through the plains.

“Is he… about to break through?”

Su Mo was surprised. Gongsun Jia was evidently about to break through and it seemed that he was on the brink of success.

In his current state, it was possible that Gongsun Jia would be able to break through in half an hour to enter the Upper Rank 3 Realm.

Su Mo’s guess was right. In just half an hour, Gongsun Jia broke through and he reached the Upper Rank 3 Realm.

Gongsun Jia’s confidence increased once he became an Upper Rank 3 martial artist and he took his steps on the Sword Mountain again, his speed had increased.

At the same time, Gu Jianshan and Han Sheng were only five thousand feet from the peak of the mountain.

On the other hand, Tuoba Liuming was six thousand feet from the peak. Su Mo and Yun Mu were eight thousand feet away and Qianhuan Demon Lord was ten thousand feet away.

All the Favored Ones were top talents and they were all within ten thousand feet of the peak of the mountain. Yet, by this point, everyone was slowing down.

That was because there was a sharp aura at the bottom of the mountain that filled the air.

This sharp aura caused the space to become volatile.

Sharp sounds of Sword Qi swept pass everyone’s ears continuously.

An average Rank 3 martial artist would be sliced apart mercilessly.

Whew!

Su Mo took in a long breath. He was also under a lot of pressure from the surrounding interference.

Granted, this was far below his maximum. Furthermore, he had not even used his three Primordial Spirits.

The sharp aura came from below everyone’s feet and it was a different feeling for different people.

To be able to reach such a height on the mountain, Su Mo attracted Han Sheng and Tuoba Liuming’s attention.

However, they did not pay him too much attention. After all, it was more essential for each of them individually to reach the peak.

Unconsciously, everyone pulled some distance away from each other.

They were all afraid of being ambushed by others.

For instance, Gu Jianshan was the highest on the Sword Mountain and he knew clearly that Han Sheng and others were staring dagger eyes at him, and were hellbent on preventing him from reaching the top.

Time flew by continuously and things appeared calm and normal. All the geniuses used their own methods to withstand the Sword Radiances from the mountain.

Most of them had to pause after each step as they got used to the increased Sword Radiance from the mountain.

Finally, two hours later, Gu Jianshan was a hundred feet from the peak of the mountain.

Gu Jianshan stopped and took in a long breath, not rushing to the peak.

He knew that the last hundred feet from the Sword Mountain would be the most dangerous.

With any slight misstep, he would die. In the past, many top talents had also died in this last hundred feet.

After pausing for half an hour, Gu Jianshan calmed himself down and readied himself to continue forward.

With that, he took a careful half a step forward.

Boom!

Right at that moment, an invisible Sword Radiance suddenly shot out from the foot of the Sword Mountain.

The powerful Sword Radiance was incredibly strong and it almost destroyed the protective Dark Force around Gu Jianshan’s body instantly.

“Damn it!”

Gu Jianshan turned pale with fright and he instantly activated his Primordial Spirit and Blood Force to its maximum, causing energy to surge out of his body.

He barely managed to block the Sword Radiance. However, he had sustained an injury and his face turned white.

“Whew!”

Gu Jianshan took in a deep breath and his face turned hard. The ninety foot distance would be even harder.

There hadn’t been a single person who had managed to pass this last distance to reach the peak.

Han Sheng, Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu, Qianhuan Demon Lord and even Su Mo wore heavy faces.

No one had the confidence of reaching the top as they would be creating history.

All the geniuses were close to the peak of the mountain and they were each only a few hundred feet away from each other.

Granted, every step from now on would be hard.

The other talents were all almost ten thousand feet away and they were not considered anywhere near.

…

Just as Gu Jianshan took that step forward, something changed in Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.

The mountain that ultimate Supreme Being palace was at, Holy Sword Mountain, shone brightly with light.

A mesmerizing golden hue filled the sky from the mountain, piercing the dense thick clouds.

This light came from within the Holy Sword Mountain and nothing seemed to block its path as it illuminated the area within a few kilometers from it.

“Another person is close to the mountain peak!”

“I wonder which Favored One it is?”

“No matter who it is, they will fail to reach the peak!”

“There is no way for anyone to reach the top!”

The Ultimate Supreme Being Palace disciples at Holy Sword Mountain were the first to notice the change.

However, no one was surprised as this was a normal sight.

Every time the Great Sword Sepulcher was held, there would be a Favored One who would get to within a hundred feet from the peak of the mountain.

However, no one had managed to reach the top and the disciples were familiar with the occurrence.

Furthermore, everyone within a radius of a few kilometers from the mountain were also used to the sight.

As such, regardless of whether it was the average martial artist, the disciples or elders from Ultimate Supreme Being Palace or the Palace Master, no one paid close attention to the sight.
