Chapter 287: Defeating Him This Way, Is Worthwhile

“How dazzling! There must be extremely precious treasures hidden there.”

“I want it, I really want it.”

Even though they were enduring terrifying power, some people, bewitched by greed, began to step towards it.

Their greedy gazes fixated on the dazzling light above, completely losing control of themselves.

But the moment they stepped onto the golden steps…

“Boom!”

Those people were instantly struck as if by lightning. Their bodies trembled violently, as if enduring boundless majesty.

An intense pressure rippled outwards, and they instantly sobered up, abruptly retreating.

“Th-this, what on earth is this?!”

Far away from the steps, their expressions were still filled with shock and fear.

If they had been a step later, they wouldn’t have doubted that their bodies would have directly disintegrated.

Even though they retreated in time, many instantly stumbled and fell, clutching their feet and wailing in pain.

Their feet were covered in bloodstains and holes.

Just one step onto the steps, and their feet were covered in wounds, even their entire feet were almost dragged in.

Looking at the golden staircase that reached the clouds, the cultivators who luckily hadn’t stepped on it were suddenly terrified.

They originally thought they were lucky and could finally obtain unparalleled treasures.

But now, no one dared to approach.

Such a terrifying existence was simply not something they could touch!

Let alone stepping onto the golden steps, just staying nearby, the majestic pressure made these low-cultivation cultivators feel suffocated.

“Does anyone outside know about this?”

“The Forbidden Area seems to be isolated from the outside. No one should have discovered this place…”

The strange scene within the Forbidden Area hadn’t been discovered by outsiders, but despite this godsend opportunity, no one dared to try it lightly.

After all, those who almost died, even those with broken feet, were still carrying their mangled legs, lying on the ground and wailing in pain.

Looking at each other in dismay, these cultivators who originally thought they could even abandon their lives for rare treasures were now apprehensive and dared not take another step forward.

The golden light in the sky became increasingly dazzling, but at the same time, the oppressive feeling from the abyss made everyone feel suffocated.

In such a strange and unusual place, how could anyone dare to go forward?!

Even if there were strange treasures hidden there, their lives were still more important!

But just as everyone stopped, suddenly more fearful than before, a silhouette floated from the distance.

And, without hesitation, stepped onto the golden steps.

“She actually stepped on it!”

Someone instantly widened their eyes in disbelief, their gaze drawn over.

“Tsss.”

A scorching sound rang out, but the woman only frowned slightly and didn’t retreat.

She slowly walked forward, step by step.

Endless majesty surged and overwhelmed her body, but it couldn’t stop her footsteps.

Although every step was extremely difficult, she showed no intention of giving up.

“Yao Mengyun, that’s Fanhua Saintess’s younger sister!”

Someone instantly exclaimed.

Fanhua Saintess’s fame was known to everyone, and Yao Mengyun’s strength was also well-known to many cultivators.

“Indeed, besides the Saintess’s younger sister, how could anyone else be able to reach this point!”

“She’s truly too strong. To be able to hold on to this point, she’s almost comparable to a Holy Emperor… But if she continues…”

One step, two steps, three steps…

Yao Mengyun had slowly walked past seven steps.

Although each step was extremely difficult, even her legs were starting to tremble slightly, she was still gritting her teeth and persisting.

A trickle of sweat flowed down Yao Mengyun’s forehead due to the significant pain.

The majesty between each step was like a chasm. At this moment, it was as if a ten-thousand-meter mountain was hanging above, pressing down on her body, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Even though she was giving it her all, it seemed as if even she could hardly continue.

“Lady Mengyun, it’s been a long time.”

At this moment, a voice sounded from the distance.

Immediately after, the figure approached at an extremely fast speed.

Similarly, with one step, he stepped onto the steps without hesitation.

One step, two steps, three steps…

Although they were the same steps, under Nie Chen’s feet, there wasn’t such a strong oppressive feeling.

Endless majesty surged from all directions, as if trying to stop his footsteps.

“Activate the Ancient Sacred Body’s four meridians.”

As Nie Chen’s firm footsteps fell…

Magma-like patterns surged on his arms, and a faint golden light flickered in his eyes.

His entire body seemed to contain an extremely profound and ancient power, containing boundless foundation.

Majesty swept towards him, but it could only howl helplessly around him, unable to break through his seemingly impenetrable defense.

And Nie Chen’s speed in crossing the steps was so fast that it was unimaginable.

“Ten steps!”

“Twenty steps!”

“How is this possible? Is he still human?!”

Only when they saw Nie Chen’s face clearly could everyone suppress their shocked minds.

“Heavenly Cloud Palace, Nie Chen!”

Even these cultivators at the bottom had heard too many rumors about Nie Chen recently.

He personally slew the Leiyan Great Emperor, obliterated the corpse of a Half-Step Tribulation Realm Great Emperor, and there were even rumors that he and Empress Qingyue were already lovers.

Although these rumors sounded increasingly unreliable…

But at this moment, looking at the scene before them, except for the last rumor, they almost started to believe them.

“This level is endless raging fire.”

After twenty steps, a monstrous inferno surged forth.

But Nie Chen completely ignored it, not even stopping his footsteps, bathed in flames as he emerged.

“This level is the suppression of mountains and rivers.”

Huge ghostly apparitions of mountains and giant waves appeared in the sky, but the oppressive feeling they pressed down with couldn’t stop Nie Chen’s steps.

“This level is the tribulation of a Holy Emperor.”

Suddenly, the sky changed, and a Holy Emperor in golden armor stood before him.

“Just this, and you want to stop me?”

Nie Chen finally raised his head.

But at the same time, an extremely huge golden Dharma Body suddenly emerged from behind him.

The Dharma Body covered the sky and pressed down with a palm.

“Boom!”

The golden-armored Holy Emperor blocking his path offered no resistance and was instantly shattered.

The path ahead was clear, and Nie Chen took another step forward.

As if no realm could stop him!

Looking at this scene, Yao Mengyun, who was originally slightly exhausted, wore a confident smile.

“That’s right, it should be like this. Defeating Nie Chen like this will truly be worthwhile!”
