Chapter 133: Fire Knight (1)
"I can't believe it! How is he still advancing?!"
"Didn't he just hit his limits a moment ago?"
The astonishment in the area was clear.
Eyes widened, and murmurs of disbelief spread among the participants and the people watching outside alike.
Outside the Mystic Realm, the spectators couldn't help but gasp in wonder as they beheld the seemingly unimaginable sight.
"Who's that boy I never saw him before?" someone asked, pointing at the young prodigy who seemed to defy all expectations.
"Is he from any nearby clan or sect?"
"Maybe he is a secret disciple of a powerful master?" Another person speculated, trying to make sense of the boy's extraordinary abilities.
The crowd grew more intrigued and curious, desperate to uncover the origins of this mysterious prodigy.
A group of experts began conducting background checks on Chen Tian, delving deep into his history and searching for any potential connections from his past.
Others speculated that he might be a secret disciple of a powerful master.
Chen Tian kept climbing, determined to push his limits.
The 91st step felt much like the one before—a mix of effort and anticipation. His breathing remained steady as he focused his gaze on the path ahead.

With each step, he could feel the energy surging through his veins.
The 92nd step arrived, and Chen Tian's confidence grew.
He was defying expectations, not only of those around him but also those outside.
"Hahahah, Xu Zhiyuan, you've got a keen eye," the Fifth Elder laughed, observing Chen Tian's progress up the steps.
"I honestly didn't anticipate him reaching this stage," he confessed, his tone carrying a touch of astonishment.
Chen Tian's perseverance and determination impressed even the most skeptical onlookers.
As he reached the 93rd step, a wave of amazement was on the face of the crowd.
"If such a talent joins our immortal sword sect, our sect's future will surely be bright," whispered the Fourth Elder.
"Xu Zhiyuan, you need to make sure that kid joins our sect." The Fifth Elder urged Xu Zhiyuan to recruit Chen Tian into the Immortal Sword Sect.
"Hhh, don't worry, I'll definitely have my eye on him," Xu Zhiyuan assured the Fifth Elder.
"Chen Tian's talent is unmatched, and his determination is remarkable. He will be a valuable asset to our sect." The Fifth Elder nodded in agreement, his gaze fixed on Chen Tian as he continued his ascent up the steps.
The crowd buzzed with anticipation, eagerly awaiting whether Chen Tian would reach the top of this staircase.
Xu Zhiyuan nodded, his eyes fixed on Chen Tian's steady ascent.
He knew that recruiting such a promising talent would not only benefit their sect, but also ensure a powerful successor for generations to come.
"Hehehe, it's been quite a while, but now I'll finally have my very own disciple," Xu Zhiyuan mused to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.
|Woshhhh|
As Chen Tian reached the 99th step, the world around him changed again.
Of course, it was only he who could feel such changes; his conscious once more plunged to a world of red and heat.
The air seemed to grow heavier.
This time, in front of Chen Tian, there wasn't a wolf or a beast like any he had encountered before.
Instead, his gaze fell on a sight that left him awestruck. Standing before him was not a living creature, but a magnificent display of elemental prowess—an embodiment of fire.
The knight's armor blazed with an otherworldly intensity, each piece forged from what seemed to be living flames.
The metalwork, if it could even be called such, flickered and danced as though it were a part of the very inferno itself.
The armor's design was intricate, resembling the scales of a dragon, with sinuous patterns that glowed like molten lava.
It exuded a scorching heat, yet Chen Tian felt no discomfort, only a sense of reverence for the raw power it represented.
And within the fiery armor stood the knight—a figure composed entirely of flames, yet unmistakably human in form.
The flames that made up the knight's body shifted and flowed, creating the impression of movement even when the knight stood still.
From within the fiery visage, two blazing eyes regarded Chen Tian with an intensity that seemed to pierce through his very soul.
The knight's presence was commanding, radiating an aura of unyielding determination and unshakable resolve.
Despite its fiery composition, there was an air of nobility about the figure, as if it bore the weight of centuries of chivalry and honor.
"What's this?!" Chen Tian's eyes squinted slightly as he perceived the power emanating from the Knight formed of flames.
Since this realm wasn't a real world and relied solely on comprehension of the laws and principles of the universe, cultivation levels were irrelevant; only one's spirit and determination held significance here.
Using Chaos Insight, Chen Tian could feel that the knight in front of him was close to the real Dao level.
Indeed, that Knight was only a single level away from fully becoming the fire dao.
"That's going to be a hard fight," Chen Tian muttered to himself, a mix of excitement and caution filling his voice.
He knew that facing a Knight so close to the true dao of fire would require him to tap into his own inner strength and push his limits like never before.
Given his current body state, Chen Tian recognized that this would already present a considerable challenge, and he remained uncertain about the extent his soul could endure.
If he was in the Core Formation Realm, Chen Tian could check his soul since only a cultivator at that level can enter their soul space. But as a mere Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, he still doesn't have access to such a place yet.
With a determined glint in his eyes, Chen Tian immediately created a sword made of pure lightning law.
He tightened his grip on his sword, ready to face the fiery challenge that lay ahead.
"Well, I just need to keep pushing myself; after all, it's not my first time doing something like this," he reflected.
