Chapter 3316

The plaza looked quite casual, with no particular rules. Lin Moyu stood at the edge and watched for a while.

He then entered and looked at a few stalls; most of the items being sold were materials.

There were very few finished Dharma Treasures, and even if there were, they were damaged; it was unknown where they had come from.

He didn't recognize most of the things here, and Lin Moyu wasn't very interested in them, so he crossed the plaza.

He continued toward the location of the Central Domain Divine Alliance. The Central Domain Divine Alliance was easy to find; the only palace suspended in mid-air within the Wangdong Realm was where the Central Domain Divine Alliance was located.

However, to get there, one had to pass through specific stairs, which were known as the God-Ascending Stairs.

There were four of them in total, spreading out like octopus tentacles, connecting to the palace of the Central Domain Divine Alliance.

Lin Moyu arrived before one of the God-Ascending Stairs and stepped directly onto it to head toward the Central Domain Divine Alliance. The spot where he stepped immediately lit up.

An invisible force fell upon him, and the pressure redoubled. But this pressure…

…was exactly what he could bear, neither too strong nor too weak. Lin Moyu's mind was as clear as a mirror.

The formation in the sky was operating. When he had first arrived at the Wangdong Realm and was inspected by the formation…

…his cultivation information had already been recorded. Now, the pressure generated by the God-Ascending Stairs corresponded to his realm.

The God-Ascending Stairs had a thousand steps in total, and the pressure would increase with each step. If one could not withstand the pressure of the God-Ascending Stairs…

…then they wouldn't be able to reach the Central Domain Divine Alliance. Forget about joining the Central Domain Divine Alliance; they wouldn't even be able to enter the front gate.

What right would they have to join? This was one of the rules. Another rule was that the God-Ascending Stairs only applied to those below the Perfection-level.

Once one reached the Perfection-level, the requirements for joining the Central Domain Divine Alliance would be different.

On the eight God-Ascending Stairs, quite a few people were walking at the same time, but many were clearly struggling.

Chapter 4341: The God-Ascending Stairs

Yet they hadn't even reached the halfway point. Below the God-Ascending Stairs, some people were watching.

People were climbing the God-Ascending Stairs at all times, and from time to time, someone would fall. Every time someone fell…

…laughter would erupt from below. The laughter wasn't malicious, but it was full of mockery.

In the short time Lin Moyu stayed there, two people had already fallen. Those who fell from the God-Ascending Stairs were clearly unable to control their bodies.

About ten meters above the ground, there was a formation. These people would all fall into the formation. The formation was not meant to prevent them from being injured.

Rather, it was to prevent them from damaging the ground. Not only that, the formation was covered in sharp spikes.

Those who fell would only be injured more severely; it was normal for their physical bodies to be pierced like honeycombs. Fortunately, it wouldn't harm the soul.

Physical injuries were not a major issue for most cultivators, however…

…the pain was unavoidable. Looking at the grimacing expressions of those few who fell…

…one could tell how much it hurt. Pain was the punishment for failing the God-Ascending Stairs.

Laughter came from the side. There was finally some human presence here; watching others' misfortune was always enjoyable.

It seemed that the gossip of all races was much the same. Muttering to himself, Lin Moyu began his official ascent of the God-Ascending Stairs.

Step by step, the pressure gradually increased. To him…

…this bit of pressure was like child's play. He walked both quickly and steadily.

His speed was too fast, and there was no change from beginning to end, which immediately drew the attention of some people.

The God-Ascending Stairs reminded Lin Moyu of how he had climbed similar stairs in the Small World to obtain Divine Power.

There were some differences, but they weren't very large. Back then, he had been so weak.

But now, in the blink of an eye, Lin Moyu had already finished one-third. At this point, the pressure from the God-Ascending Stairs had more than doubled compared to the first step.

But it still meant nothing to Lin Moyu. He quickened his pace, heading toward the Central Domain Divine Alliance at an even faster speed.

There were four people on the path Lin Moyu had chosen. The fastest had already finished two-thirds, and the middle one had also passed the halfway mark.

The third person was near the halfway point. Now, Lin Moyu was coming from behind and was about to overtake the third person.

His sudden acceleration immediately caught the attention of some people. So fast!

To be able to walk so quickly on the God-Ascending Stairs…

…even though this person is only at the Chaos Realm Small Success, his combat power must be extraordinary. The God-Ascending Stairs aren't actually that difficult.

It doesn't look at cultivation realm, only at the ability to bear pressure within the same realm. There are always people with outstanding pressure resistance.

A few such people appear almost every once in a while; it's nothing to be surprised about. Even if one finishes the God-Ascending Stairs…

…it doesn't necessarily mean they can join the God Alliance. Yes, the God Alliance already has enough people now.

It's said that the joining conditions are stricter than before and the requirements are higher. Walking fast now doesn't mean one can stay fast later.

Maybe they'll slow down later, and it's not impossible for them to fail in the end. The onlookers came from different races.

At this moment, they seemed to have cast aside the barriers between their races, gossiping about the God-Ascending Stairs together and watching others fail and make fools of themselves.

It made them feel happy, but seeing someone too strong could also make them feel jealous.

The hearts of intelligent beings are just that complex—disdaining the weak and envying the strong. Lin Moyu completely ignored these people's words.

He continued to accelerate and soon approached the halfway mark, overtaking the original third-place climber.

When he was overtaken, a look of slight astonishment appeared on the person's face. Lin Moyu walked with incomparable ease, as if walking on flat ground.

Yet he himself was walking with great difficulty, bearing immense pressure with every step. Both were at the Chaos Realm Small Success.

A sense of humiliation welled up, making him feel very uncomfortable as he watched Lin Moyu's back recede further and further.

After the humiliation came a deep sense of powerlessness. On the God-Ascending Stairs, one was absolutely forbidden from obstructing others.

Otherwise, the Central Domain Divine Alliance would intervene. He had no choice but to stare blankly.

Lin Moyu overtook the third person, taking their place, and quickly finished the halfway mark. Now, the second-place person was also within reach.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu looked up toward the end of the God-Ascending Stairs. That was the palace of the Central Domain Divine Alliance, and he felt a will descending from the palace.

It was watching him. This will was very strong and should have come from a Perfection-level Expert.

Is it because my speed is too fast that I've been noticed?

In that case…

…then I'll be even faster. Lin Moyu knew very well what he wanted to do; he didn't just want to finish the God-Ascending Stairs.

He wanted to join the Central Domain Divine Alliance. The God-Ascending Stairs were just a basic condition; there would be other requirements afterward.

Since a Perfection-level Expert in the Central Domain Divine Alliance had noticed him, then he would give them a bit more to notice. Lin Moyu understood very well.

Sometimes one needs to hide their brilliance, but sometimes one also needs to perform. He quickened his pace once more.

He directly overtook the second-place person and charged toward the Central Domain Divine Alliance at an even higher speed. The pressure on the God-Ascending Stairs…

…was ineffective against Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu's renewed acceleration shocked some people again.

At the same time, there was jealousy. How can he still accelerate? Is the pressure of the God-Ascending Stairs really that weak?

Impossible. Look at how hard the others are walking; it's completely different from him.

Could it be that his combat power has reached such a level?

Even if they're both at the Chaos Realm Small Success, even if there's a difference in combat power…

…there must be a limit, right? The trial of the God-Ascending Stairs isn't easy; everyone needs to use their full strength to reach the end.

How can he be so relaxed? Their reasoning wasn't wrong, but it didn't apply to Lin Moyu.

His physical body and soul had undergone ten sublimations; he was not comparable to an ordinary Chaos Realm Small Success. His chaotic transformation…

…was completed with the help of the chaos pearl, which was also a level higher than chaos itself. Furthermore, Lin Moyu could distribute the pressure to his Undead Servants and his Domain.

Any one of the three would allow Lin Moyu to walk swiftly, let alone all three combined.

Even if the pressure of the God-Ascending Stairs were several times stronger, it would be nothing to Lin Moyu. Finally…

…Lin Moyu finished two-thirds, and the pressure suddenly increased by several fold. The final third…

…was clearly much more difficult than before. The person in first place had to rest after every step…

…before taking the next. Yet Lin Moyu still felt nothing and quickly overtook the first-place climber.

The original first-place climber looked at Lin Moyu, his body trembling from the pressure. How is this possible!

He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it. Among those at the Chaos Realm Small Success, his combat power was already very strong.

He almost crushed those of the same race and realm. In climbing the God-Ascending Stairs, he was eighty percent sure he could reach the end.

As for speed, he hadn't even thought about it; being able to finish the God-Ascending Stairs was already quite remarkable.

The Central Domain Divine Alliance had never said how fast one needed to be. But now, Lin Moyu's passing…

…made him realize that he was nothing among those of the same realm; there were many figures more outstanding than himself.

Lin Moyu was now in first place, and not only did his speed not drop at all, but it actually tended to get faster and faster.

While others took half a day or a full day to walk the God-Ascending Stairs, Lin Moyu took less than five minutes in total to finish them all.

In fact, he could have been even faster, taking less than a minute, but there was no need for that.

He could let people be shocked, but he shouldn't let them think he was a monster. At the end of the God-Ascending Stairs was an open space.

Beyond the open space was a lake, and the Central Domain Divine Alliance was in the middle of the lake. There was a Floating Bridge on the lake…

…connecting to the Central Domain Divine Alliance. Lin Moyu muttered to himself that the second trial was to cross the Floating Bridge.

If he wasn't mistaken, this Floating Bridge wouldn't be easy to cross; he would probably have to fight.

Scanning with his Eye of the Undead, Lin Moyu saw a large amount of Soul Fire beneath the lake. These Soul Fires varied in strength.

The strongest reached the Chaos Realm Great Success, while the weakest were only at the Half-step Chaos.

Chapter 4342: Does the Young Friend Understand Formations?

At this moment, Lin Moyu was only a thousand meters away from the palace of the Central Domain Divine Alliance.

He only needed to cross the several-hundred-meter-long Floating Bridge to enter the palace. Vaguely, Lin Moyu saw a figure appear in the palace.

That figure was looking at him. It was the same one who had cast their will to watch him climb the God-Ascending Stairs earlier; they were watching him now as well.

Lin Moyu walked toward the Floating Bridge. There were also eight Floating Bridges, corresponding to the eight God-Ascending Stairs.

No one told him the rules throughout the process, nor did they need to. It was just like being on a battlefield.

Who would tell you how to fight? On a battlefield, it's nothing more than two things: killing the enemy and staying alive.

It was the same now; it was simply about crossing the Floating Bridge and stepping into the palace of the Central Domain Divine Alliance.

The moment he stepped onto the Floating Bridge, the entire bridge immediately lit up, and the space expanded drastically.

The original space was magnified over a hundred times; his distance from the Central Domain Divine Alliance went from a few hundred meters to tens of thousands of meters.

The lake surface boiled, and a large number of Fish Monsters at the Chaos Realm Small Success rushed out of the lake, pouncing toward him.

Chaos Realm Small Success—numerous but not strong!

Lin Moyu saw through them at a glance.

Although these Fish Monsters were in the same realm as him, their combat power was at the bottom of the Chaos Realm Small Success; even Xiao Peng could defeat them.

Chaos Creatures are not judged by realm alone; the combat power of different races in the same realm varies greatly. These Fish Monsters clearly lacked intelligence.

They were the bottom of their realm and were only fit to be used as trials here. Facing the rushing Fish Monsters…

…Lin Moyu struck out with a palm—Great Dao World-Destroying Palm!

A huge palm print swept across.

A large number of Fish Monsters were blown apart by the palm. Then, Lin Moyu struck palm after palm, delivering a thousand strikes in an instant.

He forcibly carved out a path through the swarm of Fish Monsters. He moved quickly through the passage and crossed the halfway mark in an instant.

The Fish Monsters suffered countless casualties, none able to get close. More Fish Monsters continued to rush out of the lake.

Their numbers decreased, but their strength grew. Finally, there were Fish Monsters whose strength could block the Great Dao World-Destroying Palm.

Several Fish Monsters shattered the palm print and rushed in front of Lin Moyu. The Wings of Chaos unfurled with a whoosh.
