Chapter 425: 422: Entering the Heavenly Palace with a Strong Presence_1

At least, ordinary Yuanwu Realm Second Layer practitioners should not be a match for Yang Chen, right?

For Yang Chen, using ordinary Yuanwu Realm practitioners as a measure is a very wrong choice. Just like the practitioners on the third and fourth Heavenly Ladders, how many are just ordinary Yuanwu Realm experts?

Mo Xing may be comparable to an ordinary Yuanwu Realm Second Layer expert, but if he truly encountered a Second Layer genius in this space, Mo Xing would probably have no chance of resisting.

That’s because others are also geniuses with talents that don’t fall short of Mo Xing’s.

Therefore, Yang Chen never used the Yuanwu Realm standards to measure himself. All he could do was to increase his strength as much as possible.

Just like this, Yang Chen took one step at a time, gradually getting closer to the Heavenly Palace.

Nowadays, he has become one of the closest batch of geniuses to the Heavenly Palace.

Of the four ladders, only three people have reached the same position as him.

At the same time, Yang Chen also felt relative trouble.

When he continued to move forward, he could no longer do so as easily as at the beginning. Gradually, the resistance made it difficult for him to lift his feet. He unleashed his martial arts cultivation, coupled with the activation of the Second Layer of the Lightning Movement Technique, but still found it difficult to move!

It wasn’t just him, but also the two people on the third and fourth Heavenly Ladders who were in the same position, finding it extremely difficult to take a step forward.

“It seems that the higher one goes, the more difficult it becomes,” Yang Chen muttered with a wry smile. “But I’ve come this far, there’s no way I’m letting all my efforts go to waste!”

Besides the Lightning Movement Technique, his other techniques didn’t help him pass the Heavenly Ladder.

At this point, Yang Chen had no other choices, and could only rely on his willpower to move forward.

This method is the most foolish one because relying solely on willpower makes one feel like there is a huge mountain blocking their path. Moreover, moving forward would cause pain all over the body, which was the negative effect of intentionally advancing beyond one’s limits!

In fact, for Yang Chen, as long as he was willing to spend time, reaching the top of the Heavenly Ladder was not a problem.

However, he didn’t choose to do so comfortably.

After all, he couldn’t guarantee that if he did so, he would still be the first to reach the Heavenly Palace. Therefore, he had to use the most crude tactic.

“Ah!” Yang Chen roared in his heart.

Pain swept through his entire body, as if something was squeezing him and crushing his bones.

Yang Chen continued to endure. Finally, amid tremendous difficulties, he took another step forward and arrived at a new platform.

It was when he entered this new platform that Yang Chen gasped for breath, panting heavily. In the midst of this rapid breathing, Yang Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he felt an inexplicable sense of refreshment and a transformation occurring within his body. For a moment, Yang Chen even wondered if his senses were playing tricks on him.

But soon, he discovered that this wasn’t a problem with his senses.

Instead, during his struggle to move up the Heavenly Ladder while enduring intense pain, his Tai Chu Divine Body suddenly broke through its limits after experiencing severe pressure and gained new enhancements!

This delighted Yang Chen.

Enhancements to the Tai Chu Divine Body were very demanding. Yang Chen originally thought of enhancing the Tai Chu Divine Body’s constitution after reaching the Yuanwu Realm, but if he didn’t reach the Yuanwu Realm, many of his ideas to enhance the Tai Chu Divine Body would be incomplete.

However, sometimes opportunities come unexpectedly!

Yang Chen didn’t expect the intense pain during climbing the ladder to actually enhance his Tai Chu Divine Body.

“When the Tai Chu Divine Body is enhanced, the pressure from climbing the ladder is no longer as strong as before. This is interesting. It seems that body cultivation is quite helpful during the climb up the ladder. The Heavenly Ladder test is indeed a test of the comprehensive strength,” Yang Chen thought to himself.

After some enhancements to his Tai Chu Divine Body, Yang Chen took another step forward. Although it was still extremely difficult, it was at least stronger than before.

This allowed him to move forward leisurely, without wasting True Qi and physical strength.

One step, two steps, three steps.

The seemingly slow steps, but in reality, even crossing three steps within the time it takes for a cup of tea was considered fast.

Yang Chen only took a dozen breaths to accomplish this.

This left the two people on the third and fourth Heavenly Ladders, who were still hovering around the 90% mark, dumbfounded.

“Senior Brother Zhang Hong, this… this person actually surpassed you and even surpassed that demon Cai Hua Fei.”

“Who is this kid!?”

“Senior Brother Zhang Hong, you have to push yourself harder too. It’s okay if we lose to that Cai Hua Fei, but this kid is moving too fast.”

The man, who was called Senior Brother Zhang Hong, was named Huo Zhang Hong. He was the most outstanding genius of the Luo Yun Main City. His martial arts cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Third Layer of Yuanwu Realm, only one step away from the Yuanwu Realm Fourth Layer.

He was at the junction between 80% to 90% on the third ladder, which was already a lofty position, but for someone with his status as the top disciple of Luo Yun Main City, it was still unacceptable. Although there was a mysterious genius, Cai Hua Fei, who was stronger than him, he had to accept it because the other party’s martial cultivation had reached the Yuanwu Realm Fourth Layer.

However, now another person, Yang Chen, had appeared, and he was stronger than Huo Zhang Hong!

He was furious. Cai Hua Fei also narrowed his eyes, staring at Yang Chen’s figure like a sharp blade, his gaze filled with displeasure, because Yang Chen had actually surpassed him!

Cai Hua Fei twisted his neck and sent out his divine soul to probe Yang Chen, trying to find out something from him. But just as his divine soul probed, suddenly, an invisible resistance bounced him back, rendering his powerful divine soul powerless against Yang Chen!

This forced him to dismiss his thoughts, grumbling, “What kind of background does this kid have, that even with my Yuanwu Realm Fourth Layer martial cultivation and checking on him, my divine soul was directly rebuffed? How is this possible!”

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter. He’s just a Ling Wu Realm Peak kid. Even if he enters the Heavenly Palace first, what does it matter? Let him have some limelight first,” Cai Hua Fei reassured himself and then began to plot something else.
