Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1094 - Trials of Wind and Fire

Panda Novel

Based on calculations, there ought to be ten-thousand stone steps below the layer of clouds. One hour after the Mystic Divine Mountain had transformed, Jian Wuying had already led the pack and dashed up into the cloud layer; he had completely disappeared from the line of sight.

The second group that came up comprised Jiang Yi and the two ladies at the eight-thousandth-step mark. Jiang Yi’s face did not reveal any expression. He appeared as if he was bringing two beauties on a casual stroll in the garden.

Only Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing knew that Jiang Yi’s body was enduring immense pressure. Not one muscle on him was not shaking, and his bones were creaking. However, his steps did not once falter.

“Jiang Yi, stop. We can walk on our own!”

Yin Ruobing repeatedly sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi, her face pleading with Jiang Yi. However, Jiang Yi turned a deaf ear to her. Yi Chan’s eyes also constantly looked over at Jiang Yi. However, she did not say anything but accelerated her pace instead, so that Jiang Yi did not need to exert too much energy to bring her along.

The nine-thousandth stone step!

Jiang Yi’s mouth and nose were starting to bleed. The interiors of his eyes and nose were also starting to show signs of fresh blood. It was obvious that his body was almost at its limit. His steps also started to slow down, just like that time when he was crawling on the Bridge of Helplessness.

“Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi. Can you stop? I can walk on my own!”

Yin Ruobing’s voice transmission carried her sobs and cries. However, she was also under immense pressure; if not for Jiang Yi bringing her along, she would definitely still be around the seven- or eight-thousandth stone step.

“Shut up!”

Jiang Yi finally sent a voice transmission back: “Whether I can endure or not, I know it best. Be obedient and follow along; don’t distract me.”

The harsh voice transmission made Yin Ruobing stop and cease her voice transmissions. She was not angry at all. Instead, she was like a small girl looking at Jiang Yi, her eyes filled with gentleness and guilt.

Sigh…

Yi Chan saw Yin Ruobing’s facial expression through her peripheral vision, and her body slightly shivered. Her mouth revealed a sliver of bitterness and anguish. She suddenly gritted her teeth and quickened her pace, no longer allowing Jiang Yi to bring her along. Instead, she actually wanted to drag Jiang Yi and Yin Ruobing forward. However, Jiang Yi’s reaction was very fast. He also sent a voice transmission to Yi Chan, saying: “Yi Chan, do not underestimate me. This little bit of work is nothing to me. You should know best.”

Yi Chan turned her eyes and slowed down her pace. She looked at Jiang Yi and his body that was already half-soaked in fresh blood, lowered her head, and fell silent. Jiang Yi had Jiang Yi’s perseverance; she knew Jiang Yi was trying to repay her kindness as well. She chose to respect Jiang Yi!

She Fei and Zhan Tianlei’s speeds were not bad. They had already reached the eight-thousandth stone step. Zhan Tianlei closed his eyes, and his expression was grave. On the other hand, She Fei’s eyes were glistening, filled with rage and murderous intent.

“Brother She, if you continue like this, not only would you not be able to kill who you want to, but you might not even be able to enter the Mystic Divine Palace!” Zhan Tianlei suddenly sent a voice transmission over to She Fei, astonishing the latter. He was stunned as he looked at Zhan Tianlei, who was silently climbing, and quickly came to his senses.

Although Li Tian was Yin Ruobing’s cousin—since he could actually climb so fast, that meant that he was a strong competitor of Zhan Tianlei’s. Zhan Tianlei probably also wanted to kill Li Tian; he just didn’t say it out loud.

Hoo-Hoo!

She Fei took two long breaths and calmed himself down. Zhan Tianlei was right. The Road of Azure Clouds, the Trials of Wind and Fire, and A Golden Millet Dream were three extremely difficult stages to pass. If he didn’t calm down and ultimately couldn’t even enter the Mystic Divine Palace, how was he going to be able to kill Li Tian?

Behind She Fei and Zhan Tianlei was the fourth group. However, at this moment it was not Tu Long, Ye Ying, and company. Instead, it was a trio that—to the people at the foot of the mountain—had unfamiliar faces.

Nevertheless, someone still managed to identify them. The people at the base of the mountain also started to talk about the three.

“The grandson of the Sonar Thearch is indeed extraordinary. I heard that Chen Chen was a three-star martial artist; it seems like he has already surpassed that!”

“The person in the middle should be a disciple of the Ye Clan? I think his name is Ye Jiuhan? This person is very young; I think he is not even twenty yet, right? He had all along been hiding his real strength, not revealing himself to others. If it is not for this time, no one would have known that the Ye Clan had such gifted disciples.”

“The Mo Clan’s Mo Di is not bad as well, becoming a four-star martial artist at the age of twenty-three. His future is unlimited.”

Tu Long, Ling Qijian, Yin Feihuang, Ye Ying, and company had been overtaken by these three men because of their relatively advanced age. However, the former group had already reached the six-thousandth stone step.

This time on the Road of Azure Clouds, the masses had also realized the many hidden talents on the continent. Following behind Tu Long and company were at least ten thousand other people. Many teenagers aged thirteen to fourteen years old were among them. These teenagers’ speed was very fast; Tu Long and company knew that and were sweating.

Of course, this was only the Road of Azure Clouds!

If one wanted to enter the Mystic Divine Palace, there was still the ‘Trials of Wind and Fire’ and ‘A Golden Millet Dream’ to pass. Furthermore, did it mean that once one entered the Mystic Divine Palace, he would definitely obtain the Mystic Divine Palace? Tu Long and company did not think of it that way. It was definitely going to be even more dangerous inside the Mystic Divine Palace. At the end of the day, it depended on one real strength and luck; the proportion of luck was to make up a big part of the equation.

“Pfff…”

After another hour, Jiang Yi and the two ladies had reached the nine-thousand-and-eight-hundredth step. They could see the clouds clearly above them. Jiang Yi finally couldn’t resist and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, halting his steps as well.

“Ruobing, Yi Chan, the remaining journey will have to depend on you two.”

Jiang Yi helplessly opened his eyes and stood on the spot to use his skills to regulate his breathing. Yin Ruobing’s face was filled with tears as she kept on nodding. Yi Chan also smiled with agony, saying, “Jiang Yi, if you did not bring us along—at this point in time, you would have walked past the Road of Azure Clouds; why did you bring us? Don’t you really want to obtain the Mystic Divine Palace?”

Jiang Yi wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth and sent a voice transmission saying, “How can a man not give his all after receiving the kindness and being in debt to a beautiful woman? If the Mystic Divine Palace is supposed to be mine, it won’t run away; if not, then even if I was faster that would be useless.”

Yi Chan looked at Jiang Yi and knew that Jiang Yi was trying to be charming, but she could see that Jiang Yi’s body was almost going to tumble down. The three of them gritted their teeth and walked one step at a time upwards. It took them fifteen minutes, and they finally ascended the ten-thousandth step.

The moment the three entered the cloud layer, a white light flashed in front of them. The gravity that they felt suddenly dissipated; the sight that greeted them had also changed.

“This is the Trials of Wind and Fire?”

Jiang Yi wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth and looked in front, to a stone bridge. His face was full of astonishment. This was just a tilted stone bridge that was bent upwards; beneath the bridge was a bottomless pit. One could also not see the end of the bridge. It was very narrow, and only one person could pass through at a time. However… no danger could be sensed on the bridge.

“Keke!”

Yi Chan smiled slightly and expelled a little of her essence force, evaporating the sweat covering her body. She said, “Do not underestimate this Trials of Wind and Fire. When you are on the bridge—at any time, there could be a possibility that strong astral winds would buffet you while sky flames could also land on you. If you drop off the bridge, you would be trapped inside for ten years and then be teleported outside!”

Yin Ruobing nodded and suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up excitedly as she said, “Hehe, Jiang Yi, you are not afraid of astral winds, right? No, wait! You are also not afraid of fire?”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi actually wanted to clean the part of his robe around his chest area. However, it was already dyed red with blood. He decided to rip apart his robe, revealing his chiseled muscles. He smiled and said, “You two are certain this Trials of Wind and Fire only consist of astral winds and sky flames? If that’s the case, I can bring you two across in an instant.”

Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan did not reply. The both of them were blushing and had turned their heads away. Yin Ruobing furiously said, “Jiang Yi, you rascal. Hurry up and wear your clothes.”

“Hehe!”

The Ancient Divine Essence Ring in Jiang Yi’s hand lit up as Jiang Yi wanted to retrieve a new robe to change into. However, what was strange was that even though the ring glowed, nothing appeared. It seemed as if the Ancient Divine Essence Ring could not be used here.

He then tried with his Fire Spirit Pearl but had the same result. He helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said, “It can’t be helped. I can’t change my clothes here. I guess I can only let you two take advantage of me!”

“Bah!”
