Step!
Under everyone's gazes, Xiao Chen didn't hesitate anymore. He took a deep breath and his expression became serious. The veins in his hand, which had been holding the Dark Blood Spear, bulged. He raised his foot and stepped onto the first step.
Boom!
Xiao Chen's body seemed to hit an invisible barrier that prevented him from stepping on it. It didn't feel like he was stepping on an ordinary step, he felt like he was climbing the ladder.
Bzzz bzzz!
The altar shook when he took that step.
Dense Qi and blood erupted from Xiao Chen's body, and a formless aura surged out. This simple step not only affected him but also the boundless aura of the entire Gu Yuan Tribe.
The Heavenly Platform was supported by the boundless Luck of the human race. The Divine Might was like a prison, and the Divine Grace was like the sea. When Xiao Chen ascended to the Heavenly Platform, from a certain perspective, he was going against the will of the human race. He was going against the heavens.
Rumble!
He finally stomped down. This stomp seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power. Above the altar, the wind and clouds began to blow violently. Large amounts of purple clouds descended from the endless void. The clouds and mist rolled violently, causing the mountains and forests within a radius of thousands of miles to shake.
At this moment, numerous wild and untamed beasts in the depths of the ancient forest couldn't be bothered to roar in the sky any longer, and they emitted howling sounds as they bore into the depths of their lairs and prostrated themselves on the ground while trembling in terror. This was the supreme will of the entire Mortal Dimension, and even supreme experts didn't dare go against it as they were deeply afraid of perishing.
Roar!
An ancient dragon roared and swung its tail. Mountains and rivers shattered and the ground shifted. A divine phoenix danced in the sky. Raging flames filled the sky. The oceans dried up and the seas turned into mulberry fields.
Countless beasts that had lived in the ancient times were roaring. It seemed like those beasts had come back to life and were attacking Xiao Chen.
"This is the manifestation of the Human Clan's Luck. It's definitely the manifestation of the Human Clan's Will when the Luck Race was created to prevent cultivators from climbing the ladder!"
In the distant spectator stand, Taishi Gong was so excited that he stood up. From the looks of it, he wanted to rush up and take Xiao Chen's place. He wanted to experience the Luck of the human race for himself.
Boom!
The Qi waves surged and the purple Qi waves exploded unceasingly, rolling like a tide. Within the purple mist, there were Divine Phoenixes and huge dragons coiled around each other, wanting to swallow Xiao Chen in one gulp and burn him to ashes. At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by Xiao Chen's situation. They stared unblinkingly at that cyan figure.
In the hearts of the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe, this green figure was their sky, the backbone of the entire tribe, and an existence that could turn the sky upside down with one hand. However, this time, he was like a small boat in a vast ocean in the surging purple airflow. However, he was also like a boulder that remained as still as a mountain no matter how the wind blew and the waves hit him.
Ying ying ying!
The cries of dragons and phoenixes constantly reached Xiao Chen's ears. They were like the sound of a great bell, reaching deep into his soul. The atmosphere was imperceptibly heavy, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, trying to push him down from the altar.
"This is the test that the Human Clan will give to us when we ascend the altar!"
This thought appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. According to the records he had obtained from the Purple Snake Venerate, if the Gu Yuan Tribe could not pass the test and reach the top of the Heavenly Platform, it would be considered a failure for the Gu Yuan Tribe to forge their tribe's Luck. Not only that, but they would also have to face the backlash of the tribe's Luck.
In Xiao Chen's senses, an aura that encompassed the entire world yet did not lose its domineering aura constantly battered his body and rushed into the depths of his soul. This aura was vast and majestic, as if it had come from the primordial times. It was incomparably ancient and vicissitudes that had crossed endless time and space to descend.
From the moment they set foot on the Heaven's Altar, the test of the Human Race had already begun. This boundless aura, and with every step they took, this boundless might would increase a little.
That dancing Divine Phoenix seemed illusory yet real at the same time. The flames that it spat out actually penetrated Xiao Chen's physical body and entered his soul. Instead, he felt a burning sensation in the depths of his soul. This was the Divine Phoenix Flame that could burn one's soul.
That huge dragon roared again and again. The sound waves turned into formless waves that penetrated Xiao Chen's body and reached the depths of his soul. It constantly stimulated Xiao Chen's mind, causing him to hallucinate and tumble down from the high platform.
Thud thud thud!
The dragon roared and the phoenix danced. Xiao Chen's body emitted a bluish-purple light. In the sky above the mountain city, the pillar of Gu Yuan Tribe's destiny was a few meters thick. Dense purple Qi continuously entered Xiao Chen's body. This was the power of the entire Gu Yuan Tribe. At that moment, the entire tribe was gathered together!
Below the altar, all the tribe members couldn't help but tense up as they prayed in their hearts.
The three elders were the closest to the altar. At that moment, they also clenched their fists tightly. They also knew what was happening in front of them. Ascending to the altar was a test to prove that the tribe was qualified to receive the destiny of the tribe.
In this wasteland, since the ancient time, many human clans had created their own clans, but less than one in ten could pass the test. Many human clans had secret methods to create their own clans, using divine gold to forge treasures for their clans. Some had even built sky-worshipping altars, but most of them were pushed down by the surging human fortune when they tried to climb onto the altars.
Some people who had ascended to the altar had even fallen to the ground, their bodies smashed to pieces!
Boom!
Xiao Chen had already stepped onto the first level of the altar. As soon as he did, the entire platform was filled with waves of Qi. The dense purple Qi had already turned black, and an indescribably terrifying pressure descended on his body once again.
At that moment, he felt an indescribable will constantly sweep over his body. Under this will, his entire body seemed to be seen through, and there were no secrets to speak of.
"The will of the tribe!"
At that moment, Xiao Chen was even more certain that the destiny of the Human Clan was actually alive. Otherwise, how could it have given birth to a will?
Since ancient times, the Human Clan had flourished in the vast wilderness. It seemed that this will had existed forever. As long as the Human Clan continued to flourish, it seemed like it could exist forever. Could this be considered a kind of immortality? Could it be another kind of immortality?
"So what if it's a test of the will of the tribe? Today, the Gu Yuan Tribe has established the destiny of the tribe. Nothing can stop it. The Gu Yuan Tribe will rule the world and suppress the four poles!"
Two beams of light shot out of Xiao Chen's eyes. Even though there was an invisible mountain pressing down on his body, his entire body felt as heavy as a mountain. Every time he lifted his feet, it seemed like the mountains and rivers were moving.
However, no matter how the surging torrent washed over him, his entire body stood firmly on the steps, unmoving like a mountain.
