Lu Yu absorbed the radiant light emerging from the reflections of over two hundred fallen warriors.
His power is rapidly increasing.
This is an improvement that even Lu Yu couldn’t control.
Boom… Boom…
Lu Yu’s entire body trembled with muscle spasms as his power instantly surged to seventeen million zuns, increasing by another two million zuns.
“Haha, thank you all,” Lu Yu laughed, waving at Guo Ziyang and the others.
At this moment, the four people who had attacked Lu Yu earlier also arrived. They were Zhang Ming and his group.
They watched with their own eyes as Lu Yu, after being attacked by them, still managed to kill more than two hundred of their men. Each one was furious, their anger reaching the peak, and they immediately chased after Lu Yu toward the pyramid.
Especially after Lu Yu absorbed the light from these deceased individuals, his power surprisingly increased by another two million zuns, which made them even more furious.
The four of them felt even more pain in their hearts.
After all, these people are the future elite of various cities. Being killed by Lu Yu like this, it would take a lot of time and effort to cultivate their replacements.
But does time wait for people now?
The four of them shouted in unison, “Lu Yu, we’ll tear you to pieces.”
The four of them could see nothing else, only Lu Yu’s figure.
They lunged at Lu Yu like wild beasts driven mad.
Guo Ziyan and others shouted loudly and rushed toward Zhang Ming and the others without hesitation.
“No!”
They didn’t care how fierce the four individuals were; one by one, they rushed forward and tackled them, holding them down.
Someone shouted loudly, “Uncle Luo, don’t go up there! Once you go up, you’ll turn into a stone statue!”
“Mr. Zhang, please stay calm, calm down a bit.”
“Uncle Wu, whatever you do, don’t go up there—it’ll cost you your life.”
A group of people, some hugging legs and others embracing waists, managed to hold back the four individuals.
The four of them stopped, still filled with rage, their anger reaching the extreme.
Because just now, the four of them had been dragged along by five black wolves, unable to even run away; no matter how angry they were, they couldn’t break free and rush out.
Watching helplessly as Lu Yu disappeared, being dragged by five black wolves for several hours before the battle finally ceased.
The four kings were outsmarted by Lu Yu; this account certainly couldn’t be settled this way.
Luo Hong looked at one person coldly and said, “Wang Ming, what exactly is going on here?”
Wang Ming immediately said, “Uncle Luo, whatever you do, don’t act recklessly. This pyramid marks the end of the ruins—getting back requires reaching the summit! And…”
Wang Ming immediately gave a brief account of the results and process of the group’s recent tower climb.
The four of them finally calmed down, and Zhang Ming asked, “So you’re saying that if Lu Yu goes up, he’s as good as dead?”
“Correct!” Guo Ziyang said, “Mr. Zhang, you saw those stone carvings up there, right? The highest one is only about two thousand five hundred steps up. So there’s no way Lu Yu could have climbed all the way to the top.”
Luo Hong looked at a middle-aged man and asked, “Brother Wu, do you think we can make it to the top?”
“This one is really unclear,” the middle-aged man mused for a long time before saying, “Let’s first see how far Lu Yu can go. If even Lu Yu dies, then we’ll give it a try.”
The four people immediately sensed the danger as well.
If even Lu Yu can’t get on board, then it’s a matter of life and death.
Now the four of them have calmed down, all focusing intently on the steps, hoping to discover some pattern.
Lu Yu stood on the steps, his scalp tingling.
He has witnessed how one king after another, each more powerful than himself, turned into stone statues.
He also hadn’t the slightest clue.
As a result, he was propelled upward by the four people and could no longer turn back.
Lu Yu turned his head toward the strange beast and asked, “Let me ask you this—if I were to become a stone statue here, and I had other means to be reborn in the outside world, would I still be able to survive?”
“No way,” said a strange beast. “This is an independent space; everything is sealed here. Once you enter, you must open the space to leave, or else your soul and flesh will remain here forever. No matter how many methods you have for rebirth in the outside world, they will be useless here.”
Lu Yu’s expression turned solemn as he said, “That means I have no way out—I must take the item.”
“Correct, you must take something with you before you can leave,” the mythical beast replied.
“Damn it, then I’ll give it a try.” Lu Yu gritted his teeth. Since there was no way back, he had no choice but to go all out.
Lu Yu took three steps up the stairs in one stride.
Below, Guo Ziyang and others were greatly astonished.
This Lu Yu is too ruthless. Taking three steps at a time on the stairs—does he want to kill himself?
Her heart sank, and her eyes revealed a look of concern.
Each step Lu Yu took felt like a sharp sword piercing her heart, leaving her unable to calm down.
Someone remarked, “He definitely won’t make it. Even a king like Jiang Xiaoshan only reached level 500; how high can he possibly get?”
“Just watch. He’s definitely dead before he reaches a thousand steps.”
“No, his next step might very well be his doom.”
Everyone watched as Lu Yu climbed upward step by step, waiting for the wall ahead of him to appear.
When Lu Yu climbed the nine hundred steps, nothing had changed, and no walls had appeared.
But Lu Yu’s heart had already raced to his throat.
He was also unsure whether he could take another step forward.
He is now going all out.
Because dying here, no one can bring him back to life.
This反而 made him even calmer.
The Thousandth Step——
People like Guo Ziyang under the tower cried out in alarm.
Huowu was also exclaiming in astonishment, her palms sweating profusely.
The same exclamation, some out of surprise, others out of joy.
They couldn’t believe that Lu Yu actually had such ability, climbing up a thousand steps without any hindrance.
Even their king here has climbed no more than six hundred steps.
“Damn it, why aren’t you dead yet?”
“Who are you kidding? We, the kings, can’t even get on it. What makes him think he has the right?”
Everyone glared at Lu Yu with great resentment; some people were so furious that they wished to rush forward and drag Lu Yu down to demand an explanation.
Wang Ming gritted his teeth and said, “1,500 steps at most—1,500 steps will be the death of him. He hasn’t even come close to touching the king’s level. The fact that he made it to 1,000 steps must have been pure luck. I don’t believe his luck will hold out forever.”
“Yeah, it’s definitely about luck. Without luck, he’s nothing but a fart.”
Everyone kept nodding, none of them believing that Lu Yu had entered by his own merit.
Lu Yu had already stepped onto the one thousand and first level, and everything was going smoothly.
Lu Yu frowned and muttered to himself, “Guo Ziyang and others have already tried it out. Strength, talent, and skills aren’t the factors that determine how far one can go. A weaker person can reach over 400 levels, yet someone like Wang You can only make it to 400. What exactly is the deciding factor?”
Lu Yu kept walking as he spoke, having already stepped onto the eleven hundredth level without pausing his pace.
The eyes of Guo Ziyang and others below were fixed in astonishment.
What’s going on here? Is Lu Yu just strolling through his own backyard?
Even kings like them couldn’t reach such a height; how could he walk so effortlessly?
At this moment, none of the people could calm down.
Lu Yu walked along, talking to himself, “It’s not luck, not potential, and certainly not spiritual power or willpower. Then, what exactly is it?”
He was still walking, his pace never slowing down.
Every step he took upward sent a jolt through the hearts of those below.
Lin Lu’s voice trembled as he said, “One thousand, one thousand five hundred steps, and he still hasn’t been stopped yet.”
Another person gulped nervously and said, “What exactly are these steps calculating? Luck definitely isn’t one of the factors, right? Otherwise, how could Lu Yu have such consistently good fortune all the way down here?”
Everyone was deep in thought.
Lu Yu’s strength was merely over ten million cultivators, and in terms of individual combat power, he couldn’t even be considered an ant before them.
How did he manage to come this far?
Strength?
Here, it seems that strength is not taken into account.
Lu Yu was still walking, having already stepped onto the 1,600th stair!
“What exactly is driving someone to reach the top of this pyramid,” Lu Yu muttered to himself, pondering as he walked.
When he stepped onto the one thousand seven hundredth stair, the crowd at the foot of the tower had already fallen into complete silence.
Now they were simply waiting for the light wall to appear.
Wang Ming looked at his companion and said, “Are we opposing a monster?”
“Bang!”
Luo Hong slapped Wang Ming across the face with a palm strike, his voice cold as he said, “Monster? What exactly is a monster? When darkness falls, we’re all capable of destruction. What is Lu Yu but a single man? Remember this: he’s nothing more than a human being—kill him without hesitation!”
Wu Da said, “Let’s see how far he can really go! According to what you’ve said about the danger of these steps, two thousand five hundred steps should be his limit.”
The crowd below was in constant discussion.
Lu Yu was also thinking. He had to figure out the reason for climbing to the top of the tower before he could possibly pass through.
“If nothing is everything, then what exactly is it?”
As Lu Yu spoke, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said, “Perhaps we can try it this way.”
Lu Yu stood still on the spot. He began to gather and then suppress the energy within his body.
Both his breath and strength were continuously contracting.
The people under the tower felt Lu Yu’s aura weakening, and they could sense his power diminishing as well.
Seventeen million dropped to sixteen million, and it’s still falling…
When Lu Yu desperately suppressed his power down to ten million zuns, he felt as if he were about to become a bomb.
His internal energy seemed ready to erupt.
“Is this the maximum compression possible?” Lu Yu clenched his teeth, thinking this must be the limit.
The power of sixteen million zuns was suppressed to only one thousand zuns, which means more than a third of the power was restrained. This was indeed no easy feat.
Lu Yu could also walk upward.
However, the people at the foot of the tower did not understand why Lu Yu did this.
The Two Thousandth Step—
As Lu Yu had just stepped onto this level of the platform—
Vroom!
A golden light wall appeared in front of him.
“Haha,” Guo Ziyang and others laughed loudly at the bottom of the tower.
“Lu Yu, your life is coming to an end.”
“You have no way back now. Just turn into a stone sculpture up there.”
Huowu looked toward the figure on the steps, her hands tightly clenched, her heart pounding faster.
Now she really wants to stay by Lu Yu’s side too, even if it means dying together.
Lu Yu stood on the steps, took a deep breath, and said, “It all depends on this one.”
Lu Yu’s will wavered, and the suppressed force quickly rebounded.
Boom!
The power within Lu Yu erupted, sweeping through heaven and earth like a storm.
Splash!
The glowing wall in front of Lu Yu vanished.
“This, this is——”
All the laughter below vanished.
One face after another was filled with astonishment; their eyes nearly popped out, and each of them refused to believe it despite being beaten.
How can the light wall appear and then disappear?
Zhang Ming said in a low voice, “He has already mastered the rules for passing through these steps.”
