Faced with Zi Sha's questioning, Ye Chuyun didn't even pause for a moment, pretending not to hear.

His gaze remained fixed on the increasingly clear holy land above, while the steps beneath his feet appeared one after another with each step, propelling him ever higher.

This kind of disregard is more persuasive than any words.

However, just as Ye Chuyun was about to completely disappear from the sight of the people below, Chi Xue, who had been staring intently at his back, suddenly felt a look of horror in her eyes.

With all her might, she let out a thunderous shout in Ye Chuyun's direction:

"Ye Chuyun, you are Ye Chuyun, aren't you?!"

Ye Chuyun!

Upon hearing the name, Ghost Blade and Yama looked up abruptly, their expressions changing drastically.

Xuanfeng's body, hidden beneath the cloak, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Zi Sha's mouth dropped open, his face filled with shock.

That human who repeatedly competed with the Holy Heaven for first place and whose name resounded throughout many star fields.

That was also the goal of their trip.

This guy, who remained mysterious and unpredictable, always wore a mask, and even concealed his name, completely dominated the entire scene...

It was actually Ye Chuyun?

Chi Xue was absolutely certain and continued loudly, "I should have thought of it long ago. Such a solid foundation to the point of being abnormal, the near-perfect pursuit of the limits of combat power at each stage, as well as that unfathomable foundation and the caution and intellect far beyond ordinary people."

"Who else could it be but Ye Chuyun?"

"Only you, Ye Chuyun!"

"Only a monster like you could exhibit such an incredible climbing speed under such extremely demanding conditions."

"Because the path you've taken is a perfect one, the ultimate path among those of the same level!"

Chi Xue's reasoning was like peeling back layers of an onion, completely revealing Ye Chuyun's identity to the light of day.

Ye Chuyun, who had been ignoring the commotion below, finally paused slightly when she heard Chi Xue call out her name.

He stopped and slowly turned around on the towering steps.

He neither admitted nor denied it.

But even from such a great distance, everyone could still sense his calm and composed gaze and demeanor.

This is already the best answer.

Silence is consent.

"Ye... Chu... Yun..." Gui Ren pronounced the name slowly and deliberately, his eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions.

There was anger from being kept in the dark and deceived, as well as murderous intent.

But more than anything, it's a sense of powerlessness when facing an insurmountable mountain.

He had always thought Ye Chuyun was nothing special.

But now that I think about it, how could someone who could threaten the Holy Heaven be a pushover?

They were simply blinded by jealousy.

Yama's body erupted with terrifying baleful energy, yet he managed to suppress it completely.

Because he knew that there was nothing he could do here.

Zi Sha went completely insane.

He couldn't accept that the person he had always admired was actually the one in front of him, someone he couldn't even reach by looking at his back.

Despite her identity being exposed, Ye Chuyun remained largely unfazed.

After all, at this point, whether or not to hide one's identity is no longer important.

"Now that things have come to this, this pretense is indeed pointless."

Ye Chuyun's indifferent voice rang out.

As he finished speaking, the mask on his face that could block detection rippled like water before disappearing silently.

The disguise was removed, revealing its true nature.

It was a young face, but not immature, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and lips that conveyed a sense of determination.

His skin was fair, with a healthy, subtle glow.

What's most captivating about him are his eyes, which seem to pierce through illusion and see straight to the essence.

At this moment, there was no emotion in those eyes; they simply looked down at the few people struggling like ants below with a natural and undisguised majesty.

Not only his face, but the aura he had been suppressing was also unleashed at this moment!

Rumble!

The empty space emitted a faint groan, as if it were about to collapse under its own weight.

Visible streams of chaotic energy swirled around Ye Chuyun, a phenomenon caused by the perfect fusion of his own blood, spirit, and power, which triggered the origin of heaven and earth.

His body shone brightly, as if every inch of his flesh had been forged through countless trials, containing explosive power and boundless vitality.

Although the divine sense was not deliberately spread, its natural vastness caused Chi Xue, Gui Ren, and the others below to feel a shiver deep in their souls.

Ye Chuyun stood there, like a young emperor who had paused to observe the struggles of the mortal world.

His body emanated a Daoist aura that resonated wonderfully with the ever-extending ladder to heaven beneath his feet, as if he himself were the most perfect interpreter of this path to heaven.

"puff!!"

Zi Sha was the first to be hit. Under the invisible impact, he, who was already at his limit, was shaken and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

His gaze toward Ye Chuyun was filled with horror and fear.

Now Zi Sha finally understands that the other party's previous disregard for him was not arrogance, but genuine disdain.

Ghost Blade and Yama were also shaken violently, and had to use their remaining strength to stabilize themselves so that they could barely avoid losing their composure.

But their hearts were already filled with turmoil.

powerful! too strong!

This power is not simply suppression, but a comprehensive crushing force originating from the very essence of life.

Only now did they truly realize what a huge chasm existed between them and the other.

"So this is his true face..." Chi Xue murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light, but mostly filled with bitterness.

She guessed his identity correctly, but this also made her realize even more deeply the despairing gap between them.

Faced with such a monstrous talent, all her resentment and scheming seemed utterly ridiculous.

Xuanfeng's wide cloak fluttered even without wind, and it seemed that the body beneath it was trembling slightly.

But in the end, he still didn't make any move; his lowered head seemed to sink even further.

Ye Chuyun's gaze swept calmly over the crowd below, taking in their shock, fear, and resentment, but her heart remained completely unmoved.

His path lies ahead, beyond the finish line of these people.

"Now that you all understand the limitations of the path to heaven, you should proceed with caution."

He casually uttered those words, showing no lingering attachment, and resolutely turned away.

The moment he turned around, the steps beneath his feet seemed to be injected with new vitality, emitting a deep, rumbling sound.

A dazzling golden light burst forth from where he landed and spread wildly upwards along the path of the stairs.

The steps were no longer illusory and transparent, but transformed into a tangible golden color, upon which countless intricate and complex Dao runes appeared.
