1455: Chapter 1445: Collapse of Heavenly Ladder (Part 5)_1 1455: Chapter 1445: Collapse of Heavenly Ladder (Part 5)_1 “Reached the eight level, only the final leap needed!”

Taking a full hour, Long Yan finally reached the eighth level, inducing an indescribable excitement among everyone.

It felt like it wasn’t Long Yan climbing to such a height but they themselves.

Upon reaching the eighth level, Long Yan’s ascent slowed considerably, but he made no pause, continuing to ascend towards the ninth level.

“The final step, it may take a little longer, but it should be feasible.”

A gleam of ambition rose in Long Yan’s eyes, his heart swelling with anticipation.

Setting foot on the ninth level of the Heavenly Ladder would grant him entry to the Divine Tomb.

All his lingering questions would be answered once he entered the tomb.

Only one last step remained, and naturally, he would strive with all his might to reach it.

“I must ascend!”

Everyone observing was silently cheering for Long Yan, their nerves strung tighter than even Long Yan’s.

Some hidden powerhouses revealed themselves, all their attention centered on Long Yan.

As time passed slowly, Long Yan gradually neared the ninth level.

His pace, however, was barely a snail’s crawl.

“Almost there, we’re about to succeed!”

After an hour, Long Yan was very close to the ninth level, just the final ten meters to go.

This was truly the last hurdle; failure at this point would reduce all the prior efforts to waste.

Who could tell when someone else would reach such an altitude again?

Under the anxious gazes of the crowd, Long Yan ascended bit by bit.

After a grueling thirty minutes, he finally set foot on the ninth step.

He’d truly ascended the Nine-tiered Stairs.

“Look, he’s ascended, that kid really climbed the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Ladder!”

At this moment, everyone felt an indescribable thrill.

“He really ascended!”

Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, Xue Jia, all jumped and danced, overtaken by euphoria.

“As per the legends, once you ascend the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Ladder, you can unleash the Divine Tomb!”

At this moment, everyone was even more expectant about whether Long Yan could open the Divine Tomb.

If he could, perhaps they too would have a chance to enter the Divine Tomb.

Standing atop the Nine-tiered Stairs, Long Yan was now closer than ever to the Divine Tomb, with the Tomb Door right before him.

As he reached the summit, the strange pressure also vanished.

“If the rumors are true, I should be able to enter the Divine Tomb now.”

Looking at the massive Tomb Door, Long Yan braced himself with anticipation.

“Huh?”

However, as Long Yan prepared to stride towards the Tomb Door, he was held back by some mysterious power, immobilizing him at that very spot.

“Crack”, “crack, crack”…

Simultaneously, the crisp sounds of rupture resonated.

Deep fissures appeared on the massive Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder, rapidly spreading across.

“What’s going on; the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder isn’t going to crumble, is it?”

The spectators also noticed this, their faces filled with bewilderment, not comprehending the situation.

The continuous sound of cracking rang out as the fissures extended across the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder, quickly covering its entirety.

“Boom!”

In the very next moment, the entire Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder collapsed sending a thunderous boom throughout the Mixed Time and Space domain.

Long Yan’s figure was further engulfed within.

“Disaster!

Long Yan is in danger!”

The faces of Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia turned pale.

Long Yan being completely engulfed by the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder meant he was in peril.

“How could this be?”

Everyone stood frozen, completely unprepared for such a sudden turn of events.

The ladder Long Yan had ascended was supposed to open the Divine Tomb.

However, it ended up collapsing before anything could happen, a scenario far from logical.

Gasps filled the air as the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder completely collapsed, burying Long Yan within, his fate uncertain.

“Did that kid die?”

Some speculated.

“We’ll find out soon enough.

I think he wouldn’t have perished so easily.”

Some had faith in Long Yan.

After all, Long Yan could cross the Divine Power Region and even ascend the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Ladder, proving that he was far from ordinary.

Half an hour after the storm caused by the collapse of the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder had ended, a figure finally managed to crawl out of the ruins, covered in dust.

“There was no need to be so hard on me.”

With a bitter smile, Long Yan felt a sense of being toyed with.

Upon ascending the Nine-Tiered Stairs he didn’t return empty-handed.

As the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder collapsed, he was buried under its ruins and found something in there.

Although he didn’t know what it was, there was no doubt that it had something to do with the Divine Tomb.

“It’s time to leave.”

After dusting himself off, Long Yan took one last look at the Tomb, deciding it was time to leave.

Opening the Divine Tomb was beyond what he could do.

Unsure why, when he stepped into the Divine Power Region, he was unaffected at all, as if the Divine Powers were deliberately stepping aside for him.

Soon, Long Yan left the area covered by Divine Power.

“Long Yan, are you alright?”

Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia immediately came forward, Nalan Feng voicing his concern.

“I’m fine, just a lot of effort wasted for nothing.”

A small smile crossed Long Yan’s face.

The thing he acquired was definitely not simple.

As such, he couldn’t risk exposing it.

“As long as you’re okay.”

Yan Xiao said, “I respect you more and more now.

Over ten thousand years, you’re the first person to stand atop the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder.

Once the news gets out, your fame will skyrocket.”

Not only Yan Xiao, Nalan Feng and Xue Jia also admired Long Yan and his achievements deeply.

“The pig fattens for the butcher’s block, I don’t want to be famous.”

“By the way, Long Yan, did you really find nothing?”

Nalan Feng asked, curious.

Under normal circumstances, it wasn’t possible.

Although he did not manage to open the Divine Tomb, Long Yan should still have gained something after reaching the top of the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Ladder.

“You all saw it too, as soon as I reached the top, the Heavenly Ladder collapsed.

I was almost buried alive.

In hindsight, I wouldn’t have gone up.”

“Why did the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder suddenly crumble?”

Xue Jia, baffled, too, couldn’t figure it out.

“Maybe due to time and decay?”

“Without the Heavenly Ladder, the only path to the Divine Tomb is closed.

I reckon it might be even more difficult to enter the Divine Tomb now.”

Nalan Feng, Yan Xiao, and Xue Jia naturally had no doubt about Long Yan’s words.

Without the Heavenly Ladder, there was no way to get closer to the Divine Tomb.
