The Legend Of Frozen Sovereign
Chapter 79: The visible peak

Far away on the steps of the one thousand four hundred, Ling Xi Yuan stared up with extreme fatigue, sweat pouring down his face and body at the moment, as well as the stream of Origin Qi which was becoming more and more dim.

“Still not yet... I can not stop to step, but for this time everything is my fault, if only I do not underestimate the increase in obstacles, then I can do better preparation.” Ling Xi Yuan wiped the sweat on his face while forcing his feet to keep moving.

Earlier when he reached the thousandth step he was surprised by the mysterious room that suddenly appeared, when examining it it turned out that there were many treasures in the form of herbs until the Origin Crystal, which was a treasure, and it was amazing because to reach the thousandth step took effort.

This also led Ling Xi Yuan to believe that the Dragon Illumination Ladder was not an obstacle to the main heritage site, but a medium to test people who want to get the legacy of the person who created the rules and the world.

Ling Xi Yuan also increasingly respected the figure of the Dragon Monarch, because through the many murals found by him he saw many incredible stories about this figure, and he had originally thought that the Dragon Monarch had an overbearing nature like a True Dragon in general, but through the Dragon Illumination Ladder he was quite certain that the figure was a wise existence.

“Huff! then I must remain optimistic, no matter how much burden and obstacle is as difficult as it is, I will break through it all!”

.....

Meanwhile the highest part of the Dragon Illumination Ladder, Xuan Yu who had reached the eight thousand seven hundredth rung was seen to be in a bad state, as well, his eyes faded with a few drops of blood flowing through his nose.

Xuan Yu also did not know how long the time had passed, because ever since setting foot on the stairs to two thousand and one somehow, obstacles did not only occur in his physical condition, but it began to ruffle the condition of the spirit power all the way to his soul.

It was like a complete package of endless suffering that gave no loopholes to make maintaining his sanity.

But that does not mean it will be a hindrance to him, it can be proven that this time he has reached the eighth step of thousands more, and through a cruel process his basis has become more perfect at this time.

“This is really terrible, everything changed when I reached the eight thousand five hundredth rung, whether it was the pressure of gravity, the stinging heat of the mysterious energy, the strong shock of the spirit power, the, and chaos on my soul due to the influence of foreign powers.” Xuan Yu grumbled as he continued to step his foot against the barrier that was going through a crazy change.

All things including sanity until his concentration had been ruffled by the barrier on the Dragon Illumination Ladder, no matter what was on the nine thousand rung, but it was definitely not something that should have.

Perhaps it was because Xuan Yu had something that was incompatible with the will of the Dragon Monarch, or indeed he alone did not have the ability to undergo the test of the Dragon Illumination Ladder.

But to be sure, Xuan Yu only wanted to fight to the death, if he were to fail in such a humiliating manner in this place, it would only make his desire for revenge on the Decay Spirit Clan would be a nonsense.

‘Do I have to stop now?’

‘There is no point in continuing this, after all I may have a power greater than that of the Dragon Monarch, whether it be the Frost Phoenix Sacret Art or the Supreme Ice of Heaven.’.

‘Maybe I am indeed not the one destined to get this inheritance, but why do I keep going with this condition?’

I don't know what happened to him, but this was the umpteenth time Xuan Yu had again felt a feeling of despair.

The further the steps were taken, the burden from the barrier of the Dragon Illumination Ladder began to increase significantly, and it was evident as blood continued to drip from Xuan Yu's nose.

BUAKK!!

As he stomped his foot on the next rung of stairs, Xuan Yu fell down as the weight of the gravity weight became many times stronger, and became even stronger, and right in front of his eyes a large platefrom which was the ninth thousandth rung was seen in front of his eyes.

“Khuak!!”

Xuan Yu, however, with a blank look on his eyes, dragged his body to reach the next step again, and after that he immediately vomited a mouthful of fresh blood from his mouth.

“I must keep stepping, must not stop.. I must keep stepping...”.

It was as if there was a barrier trying to prevent it from rising any further, the force of gravity, the shock to his spirit power, as well as the scorching heat that was pounding on became even stronger.

Yet as if his mind had disappeared leaving with a desire to continue moving, Xuan Yu used both of his hands to drag his body forcefully.

When his instincts and thoughts were almost directly damaged, Xuan Yu managed to timely grab onto the nine thousandth rung, and dragged his body into the huge platform before becoming unconscious.

“I succeeded...”.

On a large platform right at the nine thousandth rung of the stairs, Xuan Yu's figure lying at the end of the platform started to move slightly, and his eyelids started to tremble as if trying to get up.

“I where?” Xuan Yu who started to open his eyelids became confused, he was trying to regain his mind while looking at the dark sky filled with stars.

It took a long time for Xuan Yu to regain most of his mind, where the first thing he remembered was that he was currently at the Dragon Illumination Stairs, the first thing he was currently at, and he had managed to reach the nine thousandth rung by risking his sanity and mind.

As his senses recovered Xuan Yu was grateful that there was not the slightest burden of obstruction on the nine thousandth rung, but the problem was the strange condition on this huge platfrom, because there is nothing but a wide field like the base of the stairs.

Be it the enemy or the treasure room, all that was seen was an empty place that carried a feeling of peace, as well as a strange power that made his mind cool down in the midst of confusion.

Xuan Yu slowly got up in a sitting position to observe the situation as best as possible, but everything had completely changed other than the quiet empty area.

“You are indeed a crazy boy, I did not expect that with the increased barrier load you could still set foot on this rung of stairs, though, don't you know that it was from the beginning the purpose of all this to get you out of the competition?”

Suddenly Xuan Yu heard a voice of unknown origin, whereupon the voice spoke in a resolute tone as well as a feeling of admiration.
