Chapter 312 The Second Layer of the Formation (2)
In fact, it wasn't just the Tianxuan Sect that felt Gu Yuchuan's fate was sealed; there were also many on the demon race's side who didn't have high hopes for him. Logically, they were on the same side, so they should have had full confidence in Gu Yuchuan. However, the raging storm and lightning looked extremely dangerous, and coupled with the lack of magical power, they projected their own feelings onto him and felt that there was absolutely no chance of victory. This time, even the Heavenly Demon Emperor frowned deeply.
The Qilin Shrimp Demon King also sighed deeply, looking very dejected, but this time he didn't say anything.
Gu Yuchuan slowly began to move forward again. Despite the raging wind and rain, his hands had transformed into dragon claws, gripping the chains above tightly. Even if the strong wind caused him to lose his footing, he would not fall.
Just as he thought of this, a sudden gust of wind blew, and his feet were freed from the chains below. Many of the demons closed their eyes; they did not want to see their hero die.
However, by the time they were looking at it, Gu Yuchuan had already stepped onto the iron chain. The stability of those dragon claws was enough for him to survive.
He continued walking forward. On the human side, Tian Xuanzi's face turned ashen with anger: "What a wicked dragon of the demon race! He does have some tricks up his sleeve. I admit he is indeed very strong and has gone quite far within the formation. However, this formation is getting more and more powerful. I want to see just how far you can go. Prepare to die."
Gu Yuchuan walked for more than 300 meters in one breath. At this point, he could not see the opposite bank in front of him, nor could he see where he came from when he turned his head. Fog rose in the mountains, and without his divine sense, he could only see less than ten meters ahead and behind him. Any further and he would not be able to see anything at all. However, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was only this one road. He could just keep walking and there would be no problem.
However, the dark clouds in the sky began to unleash lightning, and a bolt of lightning struck him. Fortunately, he possessed a natural talent for lightning and had a certain degree of resistance to it. The strike only caused him some numbness, without any other real damage. He continued walking forward, albeit more slowly, but steadily and without any problems.
Tian Xuanzi was so angry that he couldn't speak. Seeing that his master was in a bad mood, the disciple beside him quickly came to appease him: "Master, don't be angry. He's just a prodigy. He's already done his best to get this far. I think he definitely won't be able to get past the second level. He hasn't even passed a third of the second formation. It gets harder and harder as you go on."
Tian Xuanzi glared at her: "Do you think I don't see it myself?"
As they were talking, Gu Yuchuan steadily walked 700 meters and entered the final 300 meters. The formation changed again. The weather became frigid, and countless snowflakes fell from the sky. The iron chains became dangerous. Every time he touched them, they would wear off a layer of skin from his claws.
It's similar to a well-known activity in northern China where people injure their tongues by licking streetlights every year; that's the same principle.
At this moment, a layer of blood had appeared on Gu Yuchuan's claws. He was indeed feeling pain. He controlled his body and squeezed out a little bit of oil. With his level of physical cultivation, this little bit of control over his body was very easy.
With the protection of the grease, the bloody scene would no longer occur, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As for the severe cold, it was nothing compared to the cold of the seawater in his Wanlongtu. Why should he be afraid? He continued to move forward steadily.
Outside, Hu Mingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she was so worried about her master, fearing that something might happen to him. She didn't even dare to think about what would happen to him if he were gone. Fortunately, her master was out of danger. While she was still worried about her master, she didn't dare to watch anymore. She felt that her heart couldn't withstand such torment.
Pei Yu, who was standing next to her, noticed her helplessness and struggle, and pulled her into his arms: "Alright, we must believe in the King. With the King's abilities, this is nothing. The King will definitely win. You just need to understand that."
Hu Mingxin nodded heavily. Yes, she had to have full confidence in her teacher.
Gu Yuchuan lived up to expectations and, under such high pressure, finally succeeded in reaching the other side. However, no light orb appeared to lead them out.
He circled the area twice, a bold idea forming in his mind. However, it was extremely dangerous. He arrived at the edge of the cliff, the fog obscuring his view below. After hesitating for a moment, he jumped off without hesitation, shocking everyone around him.
However, after falling only a dozen meters, he landed on a cloud. The teleportation orb was right there. Without further hesitation, he went straight in. After exiting, he found himself on the fortieth floor. It seemed that the challenge he had just faced was actually on the thirtieth floor, which made sense.
Suddenly feeling the immense pressure, he was almost crushed to the ground. Fortunately, he managed to brace himself with his hands, thus avoiding embarrassment in front of so many people. This is a problem with the dragon race; they are too concerned about their image.
He slowly straightened his back. After a short while, he had adapted to the pressure again and could continue walking forward. He sighed and continued on his way.
Every step he took was extremely difficult. The pressure of these forty levels was fundamentally different from that of the previous ten. He could feel his breathing becoming labored. He looked up at the top of the Heavenly Ladder, which was much closer, and was filled with fighting spirit once again. Behind him were so many fellow demons; he couldn't let them down. Brave Dragon, unafraid of difficulties.
He climbed ten floors in one go, reaching the fiftieth step. He was already halfway there, and victory wasn't too far away.
Outside, Tian Xuanzi was furious. He couldn't believe that Gu Yuchuan could progress so smoothly. The second layer of the formation was already half broken. He was gritting his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He had done everything he could for the formation. Now, the formation was following its own program, and he couldn't help anymore.
He could only pray that Gu Yuchuan wouldn't be able to get through the road ahead.
But unlike what he had imagined, Gu Yuchuan seemed to have opened up some kind of meridian, and his progress was very smooth. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the sixtieth floor. However, the scene in front of him changed again. He was really annoyed. A broken formation with so many changes.
