at this point, the five of them could no longer advance. they all stopped as they had no choice but to adjust themselves first.

here, their bodies, minds, souls, hearts, and wills were all enduring a harsh trial. this was the most ruthless moment.

after their fierce climb here, they had reached a limit. they had to take a breather, but at the same time, they had to endure the powerful pressure here and resist the encroachment of their negative emotions.

long chen took three deep breaths before directly stepping towards the 997th stair. shui guanzhi and the others’ expressions became ugly.

“this bastard!” they were infuriated. it was like long chen was intentionally opposing them. he refused to give them a moment’s rest.

if they allowed long chen to climb to the top before them, wouldn’t it signify that he was the strongest of them all?

although they were furious, they also followed. however, the powerful pressure that descended upon them at the 997th stair caused their expressions to change.

“cry of the heavenly daos!”

shui guanzhi, zhao wuji, yue qianshan, and zhong wuyan activated their heavenly dao manifestations at the same time. the pressure immediately lightened for them.

as for long chen, he vomited a mouthful of blood, his expression exceedingly ugly and furious.

“i refuse to believe i can’t get up!”

long chen was ruthless, and he forced his way up. just like that, he forced his way onto the 997th stair.

but by the time he reached there, shui guanzhi and the others had already begun charging toward the 998th stair.

they were relying on their cries of the heavenly daos for a spurt of energy, hoping to directly reach the end like this. but when they reached the 998th stair, they were forced back by a terrifying force.

shui guanzhi and the others were completely startled. they hadn’t expected the 998th stair’s difficulty to be several times that of the 997th stair. they didn’t manage to get up. instead, the rebound force caused them to almost cough up blood.

“water waves break the heavens!” shui guanzhi suddenly was surrounded by water runes. they formed a channel in front of him that he directly charged through.

boom!

the entire netherworld heaven staircase shook. shui guanzhi was the first to step onto the 998th stair.

however, people saw that the heavenly dao runes around him were constantly revolving and changing shape, as if they were currently being compressed by some invisible force.

“good, shui guanzhi has done well. he’s the first to reach the 998th stair and has taken the lead,” laughed shui yuncong.

suddenly, sword-light pierced forward. an ear-piercing sound rang out as yue qianshan took action. his aura completely erupted like a sword coming out of its sheath. he also stepped onto the 998th stair.

they had never dreamed that the 999th stair would actually pose a danger to their lives. if they messed up, they would lose their lives here.

“it’s definitely fake. how could they allow us to die here? i refuse to believe it.” zhao wuji snorted and charged toward the 999th stair.

when he stepped onto the 999th stair, a translucent flying sword shot toward zhao wuji. he hastily blocked, but that flying sword tore through his defense and left a foot-long wound on his chest.

they were horrified. when it came to physical defense, zhao wuji was the strongest. the runes revolving around him were even stronger than his spiritual qi armor.

but he had been injured after just one attack. then they, who did not specialize in defense, would be slashed in two, right?

“hmph, let me try it.”

shui guanzhi extended a hand. a water arrow shot toward the 999th stair, but he wrapped himself with endless runes first.

another flying sword shot out, smashing apart the water arrow and piercing through shui guanzhi’s water runes.

shui guanzhi was appalled. he hadn’t expected that his water runes would be pierced as easily as water in front of that flying sword. it hadn’t been able to resist at all.

“skywater shield!” he hastily formed three water shields in front of him. but that sword continued to pierce through them.

just as the sword was about to pierce his heart, it lost its energy and disappeared. shui guanzhi’s face was pale.

“the four of us should go from four different directions to see if we can scatter its power,” suggested zhong wuyan.

the others nodded and spread out. but when they attempted it again, the four of them all received counterattacks, and the power hadn’t weakened at all.

“we have to take a risk! don’t hold back. charge with your full strength, or it will be impossible!” said zhong wuyan.

the others hesitated but nodded. the 999th stair was too difficult, and there was no room for technique. they could only go all-out.

from their previous tests, they had found this barrier to be incomparably powerful. without going all-out, they wouldn’t be able to pass it.

“attack!”

the four of them began to shine with runic light. activating their strongest defense, they charged to the 999th stair.

boom!

the staircase trembled, and suddenly, thousands of flying swords shot out mercilessly at them.

blood splashed. countless swords pierced through their bodies, and they were sent flying back. all the xuantian dao sect’s experts’ expressions changed.

“how could this be?!”
