After we broke up, I awakened my divine body. Why are you crying?

Chapter 266 1 Qi Juechen

……

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, an hour of the assessment had passed.

During this period, people failed the test one after another. They could not withstand the tremendous pressure from the ancient stairs and were shaken down.

Most people had reached the 200-foot level, but the Demon Emperor's two sons had already climbed to more than 300 feet, still far ahead of the others.

The further back they go, the slower their climbing speed will be.

By now, the intensity of the pressure had already made Prince Long and the other two feel a little exhausted.

"Buzz!"

At the back of the crowd, Ji Chen's steps were still steady.

By now, he had already walked to a distance of 190 feet.

"Damn it! Why did this guy follow me all of a sudden?"

At the two hundred feet position, many people chose to sit cross-legged on the spot after arriving here, intending to regulate their breathing here, and then continue to go up after recovering some of their condition.

Someone turned around and looked behind him.

When they found that Ji Chen had quietly come up behind them without them noticing, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Wasn't he struggling at a distance of one hundred feet not long ago? How long has it taken him to catch up with us?" A young proud man was astonished and couldn't help but speak.

"I recognize him! He seems to be the divine body from Donghuang!" someone exclaimed, revealing Ji Chen's identity.

"Oh? Ji Chen, the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body?"

"It turns out to be him!"

"This shouldn't be the case. His divine body is famous throughout the five regions of the world, so his potential must be extraordinary. But why does it feel like it's so difficult for him to climb up? He's even worse than us!"

In the ancient stairs, about two hundred feet up, many people were sitting cross-legged and couldn't help but start talking.

"Buzz!"

While they were discussing, Ji Chen walked steadily and finally reached the 200-foot position.

An even more terrifying pressure continuously invaded from all around his body, causing Ji Chen's breathing to slightly hold.

But soon, in just two breaths, he seemed to have adapted to the pressure and was not affected at all. He took another step and continued to move upwards.

"Doesn't he plan to take a break?" someone asked in astonishment.

"Even the Demon Emperor and his companions who came here just now stayed here for about a quarter of an hour, and adjusted their conditions before continuing to go up. How could Ji Chen go up directly?"

Many people were dumbfounded. They could all feel the powerful pressure here. No matter how powerful a person was, it would be difficult to adapt quickly and it would take time to adjust.

But Ji Chen had no intention of making any adjustments at all.

He continued to move upwards as if walking on flat ground. Every three breaths or so, he would take a step forward, as if the pressure here had not caused any effect on him.

"Buzz!"

At the position of 210 feet, to everyone's surprise, Ji Chen had already arrived here.

By now, he had finally surpassed most people and was ahead of them.

Continuing up, in addition to the three people of Prince Long, there are some Saint Son-level geniuses ahead of Ji Chen, but their number is not large, probably only about twenty or thirty people.

Time continued to pass, minute by minute.

In the square below, many people were surprised and began to realize that something was wrong.

Ji Chen walked very slowly from the beginning of the assessment.

Everyone thought that he would most likely be the person with the worst performance in this assessment.

But what no one expected was that at this moment, Ji Chen had surpassed most people without realizing it.

Moreover, his speed and the time intervals of his ascent were always kept very uniform, one step every three breaths, from beginning to end.

"Buzz!"

In a blink of an eye, another half hour passed.

A position of three hundred feet.

Ji Chen came here.

He walked as if on flat ground. At such a height, most people would need to stay where they are for more than ten breaths to adjust after each step.

But Ji Chen remained the same as always, still three breaths, and this rule seemed to continue forever.

"Are you finally catching up?"

At a distance of five hundred feet, at this moment, the Demon Emperor's son, the Dragon Prince and Jiang Ning all arrived here.

The three of them are currently tied for first place.

Looking back, the three of them couldn't help but narrow their eyes when they discovered that Ji Chen, three hundred feet behind them, had unknowingly left the others behind and was starting to catch up with them.

“Although it’s a bit unexpected, he has only walked three hundred feet, and there is still a distance of two hundred feet between him and us. If he wants to really catch up with us, I’m afraid he has no chance, because before that, I have already reached the top.” Prince Long sneered, with a kind of arrogance in his eyes.

“After all, he is only at the fifth level of the Dao-Slaying Realm. He is really too weak. Even if he has a divine body, he will find it difficult to make any waves in the Qianlong Mansion, where there are so many proud people.” The Demon Emperor said with his head held high.

"Before you reach the summit, everything is still unknown. Underestimating the divine body may be your biggest mistake." Jiang Ning said calmly.

He felt from the beginning to the end that Ji Chen was no ordinary person. This physique was too extraordinary. There must be a reason why he was so outstanding in the history of Eastern Wilderness.

Even though Ji Chen is still very far away from them now.

But no one can guarantee that if they continue to go up, Ji Chen will catch up.

"Buzz!"

After saying that, Jiang Ning continued to move forward, and only stopped after taking a few steps.

Seeing this, the Demon Emperor's son and the Dragon Prince were also unwilling to admit defeat and quickly followed.

The three of them were riding away from the others, chasing for the first place, all hoping that they could reach the top the fastest.

“Six hundred feet!”

No one knew how much time had passed as the three of them climbed up with difficulty. Finally, they reached a height of six hundred feet.

"Now, almost three hours have passed since the assessment, and there are only the last four hundred feet to go. At this speed, I may break the fastest record of that top genius in the past and reach the end of the Qianlong Ancient Stairs before six hours." The Demon Emperor spoke confidently.

"The pressure here is nearly ten times more terrifying than the previous five hundred feet. The higher we go, the more shocking it becomes. Our speed will become slower and it is not as easy as we imagined to break the record." Prince Long said this with a frown on his face.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, there was a wave behind me and the sound of heavy footsteps came into my ears.

It was like someone was carrying a mountain on his back and moving forward, which immediately attracted the attention of Prince Long and the other two.

Looking back, they were surprised to find that it was Ji Chen. He had quietly caught up with them without them noticing and was now more than five hundred feet away, only a few feet away from them.

"How is that possible?" Prince Long's face suddenly darkened.

The Demon Emperor also frowned, having never expected Ji Chen's speed to be so fast.

"Chatting?"

After a dozen breaths, Ji Chen walked steadily and finally reached the same height as them. At the same time, with a puzzled look on his face, he glanced at the three people and said, "You guys chat, I'm leaving first."

After saying this, he did not pay too much attention to the three people. After three breaths, he took another step and walked upwards.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Prince Long and the Demon Emperor became noticeably ugly.

They refused to admit defeat and even gave up on adjusting themselves in order to catch up.

However, the pressure here was so strong that they needed to spend a lot of time adjusting after each step. Otherwise, if they forced their way up, they would most likely be shaken off the ancient stairs because they could not withstand the pressure, and all their efforts would be in vain.

On the other hand, Ji Chen took one step in three breaths, as if walking on flat ground, and it was like this from beginning to end.

Soon, after just a quarter of an hour, Prince Long and his two companions were left dozens of feet behind by him.

By now, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Many people were shocked; they never expected such an outcome.

This is truly a ride that leaves the rest far behind!
