Chapter 158: Chapter 158 I Can’t Wait Anymore, Making You Live Even One More Second Is Unbearable

"True Martial Hall?"

Liang Hui whispered softly.

He etched this power into his memory.

His palm rested on the sword hilt.

He turned around!

Returning to beneath the Heaven-Reaching Bridge, he sat down cross-legged.

He began to recover the Inner Strength and Mana depleted in the recent battle.

Su Yao also came to his side, acting as his protector.

However, her eyes kept drifting toward where Song Xi had fallen, her pretty face wearing a look of helplessness.

About half a day passed.

Liang Hui had his essence, energy, and spirit tuned to peak condition.

"Let’s go!"

With a long spear on his back and a sharp sword at his waist, he headed for the Heaven-Reaching Bridge.

He didn’t plan to stay here any longer, aiming to ascend the Heaven-Reaching Bridge early and start cultivating the Sword Scripture.

To him, allowing his enemies to live even one second longer felt intolerable.

As for the great hidden danger Song Xi spoke of, could it be greater than the Flowing Light Bell? In this secret realm, where strength and information were constrained.

As long as he killed everyone who had seen the Flowing Light Bell, that would be enough.

Su Yao followed closely, stepping forward together toward the Heaven-Reaching Bridge.

Boom!

Liang Hui’s brow furrowed slightly as a faint pressure emerged upon his body.

This pressure was slight, but if it kept increasing, it would become a bit troublesome.

"Can you hold on? If not, wait here for me."

"I’m still within the threshold of endurance, but at this state, I can only make it halfway to the ruins. I might not be able to accompany you to the summit."

Unlike the Tianyuan Sword Sect ruins that had been explored numerous times, it was rumored that there were extremely precious treasures at the top of the Heaven-Reaching Bridge.

Some even speculated that the Tianyuan Sword Sect’s supreme Sword Scripture was located at the summit.

After five openings, only four people had reached the top, meaning that the most precious Sword Scripture might still be there.

Regrettably, she was too young, almost the same age as the young man, her realm always one step behind those top geniuses, something lacking for summitting.

Liang Hui nodded and stepped forward.

With each step, the pressure around him increased.

However, their pace remained consistent, neither hurried nor slow, and they gradually vanished into the clouds.

One day!

Two days!

Three days!

Until the fourth day, a huge island hanging in the sky came into view.

The island was dilapidated, with ruined palaces standing atop it, yet despite their disrepair, they were still shrouded in protective enchantments.

Some early arrivals continuously attacked the palaces, but could only stir up minor ripples on the protective enchantments.

The two quickened their steps, arriving at a fork in the path.

One direction led to the massive island; the other branched upwards, its end almost out of sight.

Su Yao took the left path, which led to the island.

"Take this!"

With a deep voice, a piece of jade stone was tossed toward the girl.

After catching the jade stone, Su Yao felt it carefully. A smile appeared on her pretty face as she continued to the left.

Liang Hui watched the girl’s departing figure, then continued forward.

Even though it felt like he was shouldering mountains, he didn’t stop his advance.

Instead, he took out an Earth Attribute odd stone and began cultivating the Heavenly Pillar Body Refinement Art while moving forward.

In such an environment, the Earth Attribute energy was rapidly absorbed by his body immediately after being led in from the odd stones via specific pathways.

The Body Refinement speed was far beyond what was usual.

One day!

Two days!

At dawn, Liang Hui stepped onto a new layer of stairs.

All of a sudden, all the pressure vanished, and everything around him began to change.

A robust Great Han stood not far away, dressed in a gray tight-fitting suit with a teal wolf head embroidered on the front.

The wolf’s mouth was open as if it were howling, the image fierce and formidable.

"How familiar, Hong Er."

"But are you here to make jokes?"

The next moment, the robust Great Han exploded into pieces.

Then, everything returned to normal, and he stood silently on the steps, now able to see the summit.

’So, this is the final test, the Illusionary Realm.’

Liang Hui sensed the absence of pressure on his body, took a step back to let the pressure return.

Then, he sat down on the step and began to cultivate.

With the help of ’entering the dream’ and the pressure here, his Heavenly Pillar Body Refinement Art was close to completion.

Deciding to stay here for a while to complete his training thoroughly, he would increase his strength once more.

One after another, Earth Attribute odd stones were taken out and absorbed.

The grey-white stones piled up quickly, and Liang Hui’s absorption rate was still unchanged.

In the blink of an eye, nine days had passed.

Upon the Heaven-Reaching Bridge, a slender figure sat cross-legged on the steps, surrounded by grey-white stones.

As the slender figure stood up, it seemed as if the heavens and earth had dropped a few inches.

Though only seven feet tall, he gave off an impression of towering over the Vault of Heaven and standing firm upon the earth.

His hand reached forward, and a pitch-black luster began to emanate from his fingertips, quickly spreading across his palm.

With a mere thought, a profound and weighty sensation rose within his body.

The pitch-black luster between his fingers gradually faded, turning into a pale yellow that made his palm as translucent and lustrous as yellow jade.

His palm slammed downward with force.

Boom!

A massive roar echoed through the sky, and the Heaven-Reaching Bridge seemed to shake.

The grey stones on the steps instantly exploded into dust and drifted down toward the earth.

His foot lifted and stepped forward.

Thud!

The Illusionary Realm struck once again.

The youth’s pace remained steady, without the slightest hesitation.

The enemies who had died by his hand, the clouds of wealth, the precious scriptures, the stunning beauties...

One temptation after another came his way, but after thousands and tens of thousands of ’dream’ battles, none of them mattered to Liang Hui.

Thud!

As the final step fell, all illusions dissipated into nothingness.

A spacious platform appeared in view, and at its end stood nine stone pillars, with various colors of light floating in front of two of them.

Vaguely within those lights, one could see precious treasures.

’Is this the so-called summit reward? But wasn’t it said that only four people could reach the top?’

’Could it be that three people have already come here and taken the treasures?’

Liang Hui whispered to himself.

He observed his surroundings cautiously and stepped out.

In an instant, the entire platform lit up.

Vague figures appeared in the center of the platform, slowly taking form.

It was a valiant youth with a golden crown on his head and a tri-point double-edged blade in his hands, whose mere appearance filled the world with a suppressive atmosphere.

This was undoubtedly a very powerful being.

No!

It would be inappropriate to call it a being; it seemed more like the manifestation of an imprint.

Liang Hui sized up the forming light spots behind the youth and speculated in his mind.

Regardless of the specifics, he would find out with a test.

He strode forward, and each step he took was like the pounding of war drums, captivating and awe-inspiring.

Boom!

The long spear was suddenly drawn out, the air exploded, and a vacuum formed.

Like a surging dragon tail-whipping, it struck to annihilate its foes.

Craack!

The tri-point double-edged blade blocked the spear’s path, and upon collision, infinite gusts of wind scattered in all directions.

The valiant youth’s hand moved horizontally.

The blade swept the spear away and rapidly stabbed towards the youth.

The youth chuckled lightly.

His hand, as delicate as jade, reached out and tapped the blade, causing it to deviate in direction.

He stepped forward, and both palm and spear thrust simultaneously.

Thump!

The young man’s head tumbled off, and his chest also burst open.

However, what flowed from the neck and chest was not blood but light.

’Indeed an imprint, the strength is passable, but too rigid.’ Liang Hui concluded in his mind.

As the young warrior faded away in defeat, his body darkened and all light spots disappeared.

At the same time, a line of text emerged in midair:

"Those who win ten battles may take away one treasure."

Liang Hui’s brows furrowed, and while he only gave the text a brief glance, he started to sense his surroundings using the Flowing Light Bell.

To check for any prying eyes.

’No one?’ Liang Hui whispered to himself.

Roar!

A beast’s roar disrupted the youth’s thoughts.

A crimson bird appeared in midair, exuding majesty.

Simultaneously, the surrounding temperature began to rise rapidly.

Liang Hui’s expression was cold.

He did not intend to test the waters and aimed to end the skirmish quickly in order to take away the two items.
