Chapter 584:
“Amazing indeed!” someone in the crowd below marveled, “One more step and he’ll be on par with the previous Venerable Feng Yu!”
Upon hearing this, some nodded subtly.
“Indeed impressive! If he keeps progressing with such ease, surpassing Feng Yu’s record is definitely in the cards! The only question now is whether he can break the record or just equal it by reaching the 91st step!”
“Remember, the prodigious genius who climbed to the 91st step years ago also barely stabilized, only persisting for a few breaths before he fell!”
Someone nearby commented, “I just said it was completely impossible, but now, who knows!”
“Indeed!” someone agreed, “With Jiang Yuan advancing with such ease, he might actually have a chance to match or even break the record!”
“That precious bone on his chest seems quite extraordinary!”
“But it’s weird, how come we never heard of it before?”
Someone said, “It’s normal we haven’t heard of it, have you heard of his divine power to collect divine weapons?”
The man continued, “After all, Jiang Yuan emerged too swiftly, and his background is just too ordinary, simply a mundane sect.”“No one was there to hype him up!”
“Had he not reached the Supreme Ranking, even up to now, we might never have heard of his fame!”
Upon hearing this, several people nodded slowly in agreement.
“That’s true! Well said, Daoist Brother!”
As they were speaking, everyone saw Jiang Yuan had already climbed to the 88th step, then heading towards the 89th.
Rumble-
Once again, a purple thunderbolt illuminating the world appeared, splitting from the sky above and instantly pouring into Jiang Yuan’s head.
Jiang Yuan halted slightly.
The bound hair on his head was instantly shattered, and his black hair flew about wildly behind him.
Hu-
Jiang Yuan exhaled a deep breath.
“This is pretty tough! Now, with every step I ascend, the power of the thunderbolt also increases a notch!”
He muttered to himself.
Then, he slowly stepped his right foot onto the 90th step.
Rumble-
Again, a thunderbolt appeared in the sky, turning into a roaring dragon.
Directly aiming at Jiang Yuan.
On this minuscule stairway to heaven, there’s simply no place to hide.
The next moment.
The thunderbolt infuses his body.
Jiang Yuan is standing on the 90th step.
As the thunderbolt hits, his upper body’s clothing starts to shatter.
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd.
All they can see now is Jiang Yuan’s vague silhouette.
It took a couple more breaths.
Someone exclaimed, “Really impressive! Jiang Yuan actually withstood the thunderbolt of the 90th step. This means he’s qualified to break the record!”
“Yes!” someone murmured, “If he takes one more step, it means he has completely broken the record.”
“What do you guys think, can he succeed?” someone else asked.
Immediately, someone responded, “It’s possible he might, but it’s also possible he might not. As for whether he can or not, we’ll know in a moment!”
Everyone: “…”
Meanwhile.
Jiang Yuan paused for a few breaths.
The surging currents in his body finally faded away, all swallowed by the thunderbolt bone on his chest.
Hu-
Jiang Yuan released a cloudy breath.
“That was quite powerful! With such might from the thunderbolt, no wonder throughout ancient times till now, not many could reach this step.”
“My next step is to break the record of all time!”
Looking at the steps shrouded in fog ahead, Jiang Yuan smiled.
Even with his current eyesight, he could only clearly see the 91st step in front of him. As for the 92nd step, it was vaguely visible.
As for the 93rd, it was completely hidden in thick fog.
Then Jiang Yuan looked down at the crowd below.
The thick clouds around him also obscured his vision.
So, when he looked at the crowd, everything was a blur, just some human silhouettes hiding in the clouds.
Jiang Yuan then tore off the tattered shirt on his upper body, revealing his well-built muscles.
After that, he boldly stepped onto the 91st step.
Rumble-
The thunderclap exploded beside his ear.
The white clouds were instantly dyed purple by the thunderbolt.
Crackle-
The thunderbolt instantly filled Jiang Yuan’s body.
Even though the thunderbolt bone on his chest crazily devoured the thunderbolt, it was like a drop in the bucket.
Everyone below was completely focused on this scene.
If Jiang Yuan could withstand this thunderbolt and stand on the 91st step, it would mean that he had broken the ancient record of several thousand years.
At this moment.
The qi and blood in Jiang Yuan’s body burst out, mobilizing all his strength to resist the thunderbolt inside him.
Some breaths later.
It’s not good!!
Jiang Yuan suddenly exclaimed in his heart.
Immediately after, he activated the Vermilion Bird secret realm divine power that he had prepared in advance.
In an instant.
His blood split into countless tiny particles and then fiercely burned.
This kind of burning and splitting was like nuclear fusion inside a star.
Rumble-
The profound power of qi and blood filled his body, giving him unmatched strength.
At this moment.
The thunderbolt inside him also exploded at this moment.
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt waves of tearing pain all over his body, causing it to wobble slightly.
But against the profound power of his current qi and blood, as well as the physical body equivalent to a top-grade spiritual weapon.
After that initial outbreak, the thunderbolt gradually dissipated in his body.
Several breaths passed.
Only then did the residual thunderbolt still rampaging inside him get completely devoured by the thunderbolt bone on his chest.
At this moment, everyone below had completely stopped breathing, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Yuan.
Not until he had been motionless for about ten breaths.
