James ascended the first few steps of the Skyward Stairway with relative ease.
However, he started having a challenging time upon reaching the fourth step.
It felt like a mountain was tied to his feet.
“Movell!” James shouted in defiance.
He lifted his leg abruptly and went past the fourth step.
After climbing the Fourth Stair, he was sweating profusely.
Sweat had soaked his whole body and seeped into his clothes.
After climbing the fourth step, he proceeded carefully. He collected himself and allowed his True Energy to spread throughout his body to resist the pressure brought on by the fourth step.
While James was ascending the Skyward Stairway, anyone passing by would simply see him sitting in a lotus position on the ground like an unmoving statue.
The Skyward Stairway was imaginary and did not exist in reality.
The ascension of the Skyward Stairway happened within one’s mind.
He was the only one that perceived himself ascending the stairway. Others could not see it at all.
That was the truth behind the Skyward Stairway that manifests to a person once they reach the peak of the eighth rank.
There were only a handful of people in the world who reached this level.
Every one of these people possesses extraordinary strength.
It was not an exaggeration to call them gods.
James sat in a lotus position on the ground
His energy continued to swell and grow steadily.
After resting, he called up the energy in his body and stepped up on the fifth step.
Crack!
The moment he stepped on the Fifth Stair, bones in his body began to break.
The pressure was too intense, and it was too much for James to bear despite practicing the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals. The severe pain caused him to lose his balance and almost fall off the fifth step.
He did not move and began to calm himself.
James was confident he would be able to ascend one more step, and he felt the fifth step was not his limit.
“The strongest force isn’t True Heavenly Energy. It’s True Nine Ordeals Energy,” James murmured to himself to keep his motivation up.
At that moment, the True Heavenly Energy in his body unraveled into nine streams of True Energy.
The nine waves of True Energy flowed through and rushed around his body.
Although True Nine Ordeals Energy was not as strong and intense as True Heavenly Energy, James could
clearly sense his whole body filled with strength at that moment.
The power from the True Nine Ordeal Energy permeated all the way into his flesh and through his bones, boosting his physical strength from within.
“One more step!”
James lifted his leg and took another step.
He successfully climbed up the sixth step.
After reaching the Sixth Stair, he felt like his body had reached its limit.
Before he could steady himself, a colossal weight swept down on him and threw him off balance causing him to fall off the sixth step.
Fortunately, he was only falling within his mind.
His body was still sitting motionless in reality.
As he rolled off the stairs, his motionless body suddenly crumpled to the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
James slowly opened his eyes.
He wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand.
The stairway that appeared so vividly in his mind had disappeared.
“The Skyward Stairway is amazing,”
James uttered words of awe.
While ascending the Skyward Stairway, he felt like he had become part of the universe itself.
“I barely reached the Sixth Stair, but I don’t think I’ve officially reached that level yet. I couldn’t stand firm on the sixth step, so strictly speaking, I should be at the border of the Fifth Stair approaching the sixth.”
James analyzed his own strength.
He was at the edge of the Fifth Stair and at the threshold of the Sixth Stair.
His strength was nothing short of incredible.
Although not invincible, he should be able to kill Lucjan and the First Blood Emperor in a mere instant.
James slowly stood up.
He looked into the distance with a determined expression.
“It’s time for me to make a move and get things sorted out.”
James strode off.
Though his movements looked slow, he was actually traveling at a breakneck speed. After a few steps, he vanished from the area.
