Chapter 2344: Chapter 2344: Secret Competition

Soon, the three of them reached about two-thirds of the way.

By this time, the gravity coming from the stone steps beneath their feet had already exceeded ten thousand tons.

At this moment, Shi Xuan’s condition was completely different from before.

Sweat was already beginning to drip continuously from his forehead, and each time he lifted his legs, it required a great amount of strength.

A layer of translucent blue light film appeared on his body, enveloping his figure.

As for Liu Ye, she had been continuously increasing the number of Golden Body Talismans along the way.

At this time, she was already wearing over thirty Golden Body Talismans.

It could be said that she was entirely relying on these Golden Body Talismans to keep going.

Among the three, the most relaxed was naturally Zhou Yu.

One could see Zhou Yu with his upright posture, his steps were even, still appearing effortlessly at ease.

However, if one looked closely, they would notice that Zhou Yu’s entire body was also covered with a layer of demonic qi.

This was the manifestation of the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique in operation.

At this time, Shi Xuan observed Zhou Yu with such calmness.

A trace of seriousness flashed deep in his eyes.

He knew very well that their Qingxuan Clan was renowned for Body Refinement among the Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clans.

However, their proud Body Refinement Realm was overshadowed when compared with Zhou Yu, a cultivator from the Human Race.

This was something he could not accept.

At this moment, Shi Xuan began to have a secret competitive mindset toward Zhou Yu.

He accelerated his cultivation technique, always maintaining the pace alongside Zhou Yu.

However, after walking another three hundred zhang.

The gravity beneath their feet grew increasingly heavy.

At that moment, Liu Ye, relying closely on her Golden Body Talismans, was gradually unable to persist.

She had to stop and recover her primordial power.

Shi Xuan, meanwhile, was sweating profusely.

His legs felt as heavy as they were filled with lead, every step was extremely burdensome.

His speed had no choice but to slow down.

However, Zhou Yu did not reduce his speed, in the blink of an eye, he had surpassed him, advancing forward on his own.

Seeing Zhou Yu still able to maintain his speed, Shi Xuan was astonished.

"How is this possible!!!"

"How can this Human Race’s physical body be so formidable?"

"Isn’t the Human Race supposed to be the lowest race in the Heavenly Origin World?"

Watching the gap between himself and Zhou Yu widen, Shi Xuan gritted his teeth and took out a jade bottle from the storage ring.

Opening the jade bottle, a moment later, an extremely rich blood qi wafted out.

Shi Xuan showed a look of pain on his face, but still drank the liquid from the jade bottle in one gulp.

In the next instant.

A concentrated Qi and Blood Power quickly dispersed.

Shi Xuan’s physical body visibly expanded by a full circle.

At the same time, Zhou Yu, who was walking in front, seemed to sense something.

He turned his head to look.

What he saw was a red glow appearing on Shi Xuan’s body.

Moreover, his physique kept expanding.

In an instant, it actually enlarged itself by twice its original size.

Following that, Shi Xuan seemed to have formed a massive power, immediately stepping forward.

His speed was indeed a few degrees faster than before.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu’s pupils flashed with a hint of surprise.

What did Shi Xuan use?

How could it have such terrifying effects?

Just at that moment, he felt as if Shi Xuan had turned into a fearsome demon beast.

It’s undeniable; this was certainly one of Shi Xuan’s hidden trump cards.

Although Zhou Yu appeared calm and collected, in reality, the gravity he endured had already reached near its limits.

Zhou Yu did not get complacent.

He immediately activated a spell.

In the next moment, the Brahma Heaven Demon Qi within his body surged violently.

Following that, the Brahma Heaven Demon Qi spread to the surface of Zhou Yu’s body, forming strange runes.

This was a mystical technique of the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique cultivated to the Seventh Layer.

It could substantially increase physical strength in a short period.

With Zhou Yu’s display of this divine skill, his body suddenly became lightweight.

His speed was significantly enhanced.

Shi Xuan behind Zhou Yu was getting excited, thinking he was about to catch up with Zhou Yu.

But at this moment.

Zhou Yu suddenly accelerated.

And at an extremely fast speed, he widened the gap between them.

Seeing this scene, not only Shi Xuan but also Liu Ye in the distance, showed a look of horror.

Liu Ye was tolerable.

She knew that her physical strength was the weakest among the three.

Therefore, she immediately focused on recovering her Heart Spirit and concentrated on restoring her primordial power.

However, Shi Xuan was not reconciled.

He immediately pursued with all his might.

However, after another one hundred stone steps, Shi Xuan finally could not endure anymore.

His speed suddenly slowed down.

Struggling each step forward.

At this time, Zhou Yu had already reached within about one hundred zhang of the palace.

However, upon stepping into this range, Zhou Yu’s feet suddenly sank.

And with each step taken forward, the gravity endured, increased far more steeply than before.

Zhou Yu’s steps immediately became heavy.

It appeared that the last one hundred zhang before the palace were the most challenging.

Zhou Yu had to walk and stop, relying on rest periods to rapidly restore his primordial power.

To accumulate strength for the next advance.

In these challenging circumstances.

Zhou Yu finally reached a distance of ten zhang from the palace.

This short distance required barely twenty steps to cover.

But here, the Gravity Formation was so strong it required Zhou Yu to use all his energy to counter it.

Moreover, he could clearly hear his meridians and internal organs inside him, straining and even making sounds due to the mounting pressure.

Zhou Yu knew that if he continued like this, he might never reach the palace; his meridians would shatter.

For Zhou Yu, whose physical body was so robust.

He usually wouldn’t get injured.

But once injured, recovery was extremely difficult.

Therefore, Zhou Yu had to stop.

He sat down cross-legged for the first time, took out a pill medicine, swallowed it, and began recovering with all his might.

After resting for a full half hour, Zhou Yu then stood up and took a few steps forward.

Then stopped again to begin recovery.

So on and forth, the short ten zhang distance took Zhou Yu half a day, as he finally managed to traverse it.

When he stepped into the palace group.

The formidable Gravity Formation instantly vanished without a trace.

Zhou Yu nearly jumped in place.

This sudden lightness in his body made him feel indescribably comfortable.

At this moment, Zhou Yu first chose to restore his condition.

Before long, Zhou Yu’s condition was mostly recovered.

Only then did he stand up, simultaneously turning to look below.

To see Shi Xuan, still around one hundred zhang away from the palace group.

And Liu Ye, even further away, about five hundred zhang.

According to this distance, Shi Xuan would probably need at least a day to reach the top.

As for Liu Ye, probably two days or even longer.

This meant, at this moment, Zhou Yu had the time to explore alone.

Zhou Yu naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity; he immediately turned his gaze toward the palace group...
