The Peak of Goddess Empress was the most important treasure of the Holy Lady Sect. It was made from the remains of the first Holy Emperor of the Holy Lady Sect.
Under the refinement of countless powerful warriors of the Holy Lady Sect, the treasure became more and more powerful.
If the Shadow Queen released this treasure, she could defeat almost all the Great Emperor Realm warriors.
If a Holy Emperor were to use this treasure, he or she could defeat an average one, provided that the opponent didn't have such a treasure.
The inner disciples of the Holy Lady Sect had all gone to the Peak of Goddess Empress but the outer disciples rarely had this chance. Outsiders didn't know anything about the Peak of Goddess Empress. For many people, this was the first time they had seen it.
Therefore, the people outside became lively again after they found out what was going on inside. People were discussing, speculating, doubting, predicting …
Those inside didn't give up just because the stairs were hard to climb.
Wen Xiang and Tu Ying moved on after Dong Yeying was smashed down.
Since the attacks here could not hurt people, they could try again and again to find a way out.
"Boom!"
Wen Xiang was smashed away by a ray of white light after he went up more than 80 steps. Tu Ying went up a few more steps and was smashed down again.
But everyone's eyes glowed. Every time they were smashed away, they could go up a few more steps.
If they were smashed down, they could go up again and again. In this case, it wouldn't be difficult to reach 10,000 steps.
"Whoosh ~"
Hua Tiandao and Dong Yeying flew up at once. They were at the top of their speed since they couldn't be hurt.
It didn't matter if they were smashed down. They just had to keep going.
"Boom!"
As expected, there were more than 10 steps up. Hua Tiandao was smashed down. Dong Yeying was also smashed down after he went up more than 10 steps.
An interesting scene appeared on the Peak of Goddess Empress. Four people kept going up and then they were smashed down one by one.
After they were smashed down, they kept going. They were very fast and they took turns to go up. Soon, they were on the 300 steps.
"Wait a minute!"
After Hua Tiandao was smashed down again, he looked at Lu Li who was watching on the side. He said coldly, "Why don't you go up?
We are working so hard and you are just here to watch?
Are you going to take advantage of us? "
"Boom!"
Dong Yeying was knocked down. Seeing that Hua Tiandao didn't go up but stared at Lu Li, he said, "Feng Wuding, why don't you go up?
Do you want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor? "
"Hehe!"
Lu Li smiled and said, "You can stand here. Nobody is forcing you to go up.
I'll give you guys the chance to get into the top three. Isn't that good? "
"Shameless!"
Hua Tiandao sneered, "If you want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, then sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. What's the point of talking about righteousness and pretending to be noble?
I've never seen someone as shameless as you. "
"Hahaha!"
Lu Li laughed and said, "How old are you?
There are so many people you haven't seen. You're just a flower in a greenhouse. How much of the world have you seen?
Alright, don't talk nonsense. Let's continue. Don't talk nonsense. "
"You …"
Hua Tiandao was enraged again. His eyes were about to spit fire. He said with a murderous aura, "Feng Wuding, don't be too arrogant. Do you really think that no one can deal with you?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li nodded seriously and then said, "But others can. You … can't!"
"Courting death!"
Hua Tiandao flew into a rage again. He was so short-tempered that he almost picked up his saber and cut Lu Li.
Dong Yeying didn't try to persuade Hua Tiandao. Instead, he added fuel to the fire, "Feng Wuding, don't think you are invincible just because you won against Young Master Hua once.
How much source energy do you have left?
Think about it. Can you go back alive after you leave the Holy Girl Sect? "
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed and said, "I don't care if I can go back alive or not. But in the Holy Girl Sect, I can suppress you two. You don't like it?
You can have a try! "
"Crack, crack, crack ~"
Hua Tiandao was gnashing his teeth. Dong Yeying was enraged as well. But the two of them were rational.
They knew that if they fought here, it would be against the rules and they would be eliminated directly.
"We will endure it!"
Dong Yeying and Hua Tiandao looked at each other. They ignored Lu Li and kept on going up.
Both of them understood that Lu Li was goading them. He was trying to provoke them into fighting. They didn't want to quarrel with Lu Li anymore. They were afraid that they could not hold back their anger.
"Young masters, don't run too fast. Don't fall!"
Lu Li shouted from behind, imitating the tone of the two's elders. The two paused and almost fell to the ground. They took a deep breath and kept on going, paying no attention to Lu Li.
On the other side, Wen Xiang and Tu Ying were knocked down as well. They could vaguely hear Hua Tiandao and Dong Yeying bickering with Lu Li. Neither of them said anything to Lu Li even though they were confused.
Lu Li didn't have to rush up because it was pointless. He believed that it would be easy to go up one or two thousand levels. But the higher he went, the more difficult it would be. He must observe and think about how to solve the problem.
Blood Fairy had gone to investigate. It would not be easy to find a solution in a short time.
If the patterns here were so easy to solve, then the Peak of Empress wouldn't be the most powerful artifact of the Holy Maiden Sect. The finals would be meaningless.
The four of them kept on going up. Even though they were being knocked down, it seemed that the patterns here were one-time attacks. Once they were used, there would be no more attacks.
That was to say, when one of them was knocked down, the others could go up.
Four hundred, five hundred, eight hundred!
The four of them were moving fast. The stone stairs were not restricted by gravity. In less than an hour, they had reached the eight hundredth step.
The four of them were relieved. This Peak of Empress didn't seem to be that scary. Maybe they could climb up to ten thousand steps. It all depended on luck.
"One thousand steps must be a hurdle!"
Lu Li said to himself. The first few steps should not be too difficult. But after one thousand, the difficulty would increase. Someone might get hurt.
Hua Tiandao and the others, however, didn't care. They continued to rush upwards in turns. Since Lu Li didn't move, Wen Xiang and Tu Ying were unhappy with him. Lu Li clearly wanted to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
One thousand steps!
Hua Tiandao finally crossed the 1,000th step. He was a bit nervous and stopped at the top of the 1,000th step.
After a while, he made sure that there were no more attacks. Then, he walked up again.
"Swish!"
All of a sudden, three rays of light shot out and hit Hua Tiandao. Hua Tiandao's armor was torn apart and he was smashed away. Blood gushed out from his mouth as he fell to the ground behind Lu Li.
"Eh …"
The others looked at each other, speechless. How come the attacks of the Peak of Empress were so much stronger?
Hua Tiandao couldn't stand it anymore and he was injured. More importantly, this was one thousand steps. How could they climb to ten thousand?
Would it be able to tear them to shreds in an instant?
But on second thought, the Holy Maiden Sect would control the attacks and not kill them.
But in this case, did he have to be injured for hundreds of times before he could climb up?
He had to heal every time. At this rate, wouldn't it take them years to climb up the Peak of Empress?
"There must be a trick!"
Lu Li's eyes flickered. It was difficult to climb up with brute force. They had to master the trick and find a way. Otherwise, even if they were injured for hundreds of times, they still wouldn't make it to the top.
