C1259 Thirteen steps below the heavenly stele

Under the countless gazes of the crowd, the graceful silhouette walked into the beam of divine light. The hearts of everyone tensed up as they stared fixedly at the silhouette within, not daring to miss out on a single detail.

The Heavenly Stele was a divine object, the divine light had the ability to temper the body and soul, but it was not something that an ordinary person could withstand. Qu Xuefeng, could he withstand it?

Qin Xuan's eyes also looked at Qu Xuefeng, waiting for the next change.

Within the divine light, Qu Xuefeng had a serious expression on his face. Even though he had appeared very casual and confident before, once he had truly stepped into the divine light, he could feel the terror of this Heavenly Stele.

At this moment, he felt as if he was in a chaotic space. Endless amounts of bright light circulated around his body, as if they contained a terrifying suppressive force that was trying to crush him. At the same time, an extremely powerful spiritual vortex swept out from his mind, tearing everything apart.

In the area around the stage, the crowd saw Qu Xuefeng's body frozen and stopped moving. A look of bewilderment appeared in their eyes.

"The Heavenly Stele has a soul and is able to sense the cultivation of those who step into the divine light. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the pressure will be on those who step into the divine light. Dragon Lord looked at Qu Xuefeng's figure as he slowly spoke, his expression appearing very calm, as if this was already within his expectations.

If every single person who stepped into the divine light could withstand the pressure of someone of the same level, then what use would there be in testing it?

The higher one's cultivation was, the stronger one's physical body and soul would be. Of course, one had to be under even greater pressure in order to display their talent and potential.

Ancient records say that when one is struck by the thirteen steps of the Heavenly Stele, they are able to take three steps and above, becoming a first-rate heaven's pride level expert. Those who can take seven steps are all considered top heaven's pride level experts, and their future achievements are extraordinary.

As one of the Twelve Lord, Qu Xuefeng is the leader of the young generation of dragon race, it is unknown how many steps he can take.

"That's right. Back then when I stepped on the Heavenly Stele, I had only taken eleven steps." All those years ago, he had also stepped through the Heavenly Stele and taken eleven steps. Now, he stood at the peak of Tianxuan Nine Domains, looking down at all those around him.

Hearing Dragon Lord's words, many of the younger generation's expressions became even more intense, the blood in their bodies seemed to be boiling, even Dragon Lord had stepped over the Heavenly Stele, and had even took eleven steps forward, this immediately ignited their passion, and their hearts were greatly encouraged.

Even someone as strong as the Dragon Lord had done similar things with them.

Right now, it was as if they were walking down the path that Dragon Lord had once walked. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and nervousness, if they were able to perform outstandingly under the Heavenly Stele, would it mean that they would have extraordinary achievements in the future?

At this time, Qu Xuefeng who was enveloped in divine light slowly straightened his body, as though he was used to the pressure, he raised his foot and took a step forward.

This step seemed no different from any other walk in the world, but it was extremely difficult. Veins popped out on Qu Xuefeng's forehead, and his legs seemed to be under immense pressure, unable to move.

But in the end, he still stepped out.

"The first step has been taken!" A voice sounded in the hearts of the crowd, excitement flickering in their eyes. Qu Xuefeng was still two steps away from proving his name as a heaven's pride expert.

"Roar!"

Qu Xue Feng let out a long hiss, like a dragon's roar. Behind him, a faint shadow of a dragon appeared. In an instant, a boundless radiance shined upon his body, like a heavenly dragon descending to the world, imposing and unparalleled.

"Bang, bang."

The sound of two continuous heavy footsteps rang out. Qu Xuefeng consecutively took two steps forward, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble as well.

Qu Xuefeng had already taken three steps under the Heavenly Stele, proving that he was a Heaven's Pride.

But he did not stop, as if this was not his end, as if he had not truly reached his limit.

Obviously, Qu Xuefeng also knew that this opportunity was extremely difficult to come by, and he had to unleash all of his potential. He also wanted to see just how far he could go.

As Qu Xuefeng took his fourth step forward, a flash of lightning could be seen from within the divine light, carrying with it a terrifying suppressing force. Thunderous roars echoed in the space, and thunder light cut at Qu Xuefeng's body like numerous sharp blades.

"How terrifying!" The hearts of countless people trembled, their breathing had almost stopped. Was the fourth step already so difficult?

Even someone as strong as Qu Xuefeng could not withstand such power.

"Dragon Lord, how far do you think Xue Feng can go?" Cao Zhao looked at Dragon Lord and asked.

Dragon Lord's gaze focused for a moment, and said. "Looking at Snow Wind's current situation, there's a possibility of seven steps, but I don't know if it can hold."

"Seven steps is possible." A ray of light flashed across Cao Zhao's eyes. It seemed that Dragon Lord had high expectations for Qu Xuefeng, and thought that Qu Xuefeng had the chance to take seven steps forward.

When the others heard Dragon Lord's evaluation of Qu Xuefeng, their hearts trembled. Qu Xuefeng's fourth step was already so difficult, but there were still three steps, and each step was more difficult than the last. Could he really take seven steps?

Currently, Qu Xuefeng's body was drenched in blood. After taking the fourth step, his clothes were all ripped apart, without the slightest bit of elegance from before. However, the Qi on his body was tyrannical to the extreme, revealing his Di Level dignity.

Endless demonic qi surged out, transforming into a terrifying demonic dragon that hovered in the sky, the vast and mighty Dragon Power enveloped Endless Area, causing many people's hearts to tremble, summoning their dragon body.

"So powerful." Qin Xuan stared at Qu Xuefeng's figure, and a ripple appeared in his heart. Just because Qu Xuefeng's path was extremely difficult, did not mean that he was weak in the first place, but that his Heavenly Stele was too strong.

If it was someone else in the same realm, they might not have been able to achieve such a feat.

Qin Xuan could not help but think, the Heavenly Stele was so terrifying, even the Emperor Stage powerhouses had been restricted so greatly, if they used this saint artifact in battle, how powerful would it be?

Even those below the Saint level would not be able to withstand a few attacks from the Heavenly Stele.

Of course, not all saint artifacts possessed such power. The Heavenly Stele was something from the ancient times, and it was something that many saint artifacts could not compare to.

With the Heavenly Stele in charge, it was enough to ensure that the position of dragon race's overlord. Other than Phoenix Clan, Golden Winged Great Roc Clan and other similar ancient races, there was no other race that could shake his position.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixated on the silhouette that was struggling to advance amidst the divine light. Was this the glory of their dragon race's Twelve Lord?

With a dragon's roar, the demonic dragon swooped down, bringing the vast Dragon Power into the divine light. In that instant, countless dragon claws seemed to slash out, covering the entire space, and striking towards the Heavenly Stele.

"What is he doing?" The hearts of the crowd pounded when they saw this scene.

Dragon Lord's expression also revealed a tinge of sharpness. What courage, Qu Xuefeng actually dared to directly attack the Heavenly Stele, as expected of his, a descendant of the dragon race!

Countless Dragon Clawed phantom rushed towards the Heavenly Stele, enduring the pressure from the divine light. At this time, the Qi on Qu Xuefeng's body surged, and he took another two steps forward. The surrounding spirit energy roared incessantly, as if they were roaring.

However, the moment he took his seventh step, the Heavenly Stele seemed to have sensed his presence and shot out a bright ray of divine light. The divine light's speed was extremely fast, instantly crossing the distance between Endless Space and Qu Xuefeng's body.

"Pfft." Qu Xuefeng's body trembled, as though he could not take the burden, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his body flew out.

With a wave of his hand, an invisible Great Dao Power swept out, stabilizing Qu Xuefeng's body.

"What a pity. I'm only a step away from becoming a Heaven's Pride." Many people sighed in their hearts, their eyes flashed with sadness. Qu Xuefeng was a magnificent figure of their dragon race, even though he was titled as one of the Twelve Lord, he still could not take seven steps.

Could it be that the dragon race didn't have any top-notch heaven's pride experts?

Many people looked at the Heavenly Stele in the air, their hearts were filled with doubts, could the Heavenly Stele really test a talent?

Qu Xuefeng's face was pale, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He raised his head to look at the Heavenly Stele, and his eyes flashed an incomparably bright light.

If he had another chance, he believed that he would be able to go even further.

"It's already quite good." Qu Xuefeng turned his gaze, only to see Dragon Lord smiling as he said: "The thirteenth step of the Heavenly Stele is used to measure the talent of the martial cultivator in the Primordial Era, and is not suitable for this era. If you can take six steps, you will be at the pinnacle level in Tianxuan Nine Domains, so there is no need to doubt your own talent."

"So that's how it is." Qu Xuefeng's eyes immediately lit up a little. Originally, he was somewhat disappointed that he could not take seven steps, but now, he finally understood.

Seven steps, that was the level of a Heaven's Pride in the ancient era. With the passage of time, the martial cultivator's physique had undergone a change.

"Go down and rest." The Dragon Lord waved his hand.

"Yes." Qu Xuefeng bowed, then turned and returned to his seat, his emotions still fluctuating, this time trying out Heavenly Stele, could be considered as having seen through his own talent, there were still many shortcomings, and would need to be trained even harder in the future.

The gazes of the crowd shifted away from Qu Xuefeng, towards the people beside him. There were still many people from the Twelve Lord who had yet to give it a try, so it was unknown whether or not they would step forward.

"Let's try it out together." A loud and clear voice came out, it was a Blue-robed youth who had spoken. This person was named Bian Jun, and was also one of the Twelve Lord.0
