After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife asked for forgiveness

Although she apologized, the crowd remained angry.

Who would feel good about being fooled like a fool?

Fortunately, there were no casualties, otherwise they would have fought Tantai Shuang to the death.

"The blood's already flowing, might as well pull it out, I'll risk it all."

"I'll give it my all!"

"Fight!"

They charged madly toward the Heavenly Sword.

However, just as they stepped onto the first step, they felt an incredibly strong gravity that made it impossible for them to lift their feet.

It felt as if the first step had ten times the gravity of Earth.

Most people couldn't bear it and retreated from the steps, giving up.

A few people managed to push through and reach the second step, but the second step was the real nightmare, with gravity at least twenty times stronger. Unless one was a Grandmaster, no one could withstand it.

"Everyone."

At this moment, Tantai Shuang spoke again, "The altar has a total of eighteen steps, and each step contains an array. All eighteen arrays were set up by the founder of Tianjian Mountain. They are extremely powerful. Those who are not strong enough should not force their way forward."

"Damn, I've been fooled by Tantai Shuang again."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Isn't this just setting people up for trouble again?"

"..."

They were all swearing and cursing, practically ready to curse their ancestors for eighteen generations.

Despite the criticism, no one was willing to give up.

"I refuse to believe it! It's just a few steps, what's the big deal? It can't possibly be difficult for me!" A middle-aged man, refusing to believe it, lifted one leg with both hands and forcibly stepped onto the third step.

Sudden.

Bang!

With a loud bang, his leg exploded, bones and flesh shattering apart.

He let out a scream and fell down the steps.

At this moment, everyone began to believe that climbing to the corresponding level required corresponding strength, and that a Grandmaster could only climb to the second level.

But beneath the Heavenly Sword, there are a full eighteen steps.

Even if they manage to break through the third level, they will die at the fourth level, not to mention there are still more than a dozen levels above.

Thinking about this, most people began to give up reluctantly.

"Forget it, I'm not destined for the Heavenly Sword, I'll just use my Iron Sword!"

"I'm giving up too!"

"I give up!"

"give up!"

"..."

One by one, almost everyone walked down the steps.

Only a very few people, though unwilling to back down, dared not force their way forward again.

Don't end up unable to draw your sword and dying instead.

Seeing that these cannon fodder had done their job, the other experts were already eager to try.

However, many people still value their lives, after all, there are eighteen steps, which are not easy to get through. If they can't hold on, they may die.

"If you don't dare to come, then let this old man give it a try."

The speaker was an elderly man in his nineties.

The old man had thinning hair and looked like he was nearing the end of his life.

As the old man walked out, someone in the crowd murmured, "Isn't that Master Liao of Sacred Lake Manor? It seems he knows his days are numbered and wants to make a final stand before he dies."

“That’s right, I know him. It’s said that he has reached the early stage of the Acquired Realm.”

"Early stage of the Day After Tomorrow realm, that's an absolute powerhouse! I feel like I have a chance!"

"..."

As Master Liao walked up the steps, the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.

Those who become strong after birth are extremely rare. If he can't do it, there probably aren't many people who can.

"I've lived for nearly a hundred years, what storms haven't I seen? Humph!"

Master Liao walked to the steps and stepped up in one go.

"That's it? It's not much different from ordinary steps!"

He scoffed lightly and climbed two more steps.

When he stepped onto the third step, Master Liao had some difficulty breathing, but he didn't take it to heart.

"Watch closely, I'm about to step onto the fourth step."

Having said that, he resolutely lifted his foot and stepped on it.

This time, it was still beyond his expectations. When he put his foot on it, he seemed to hear his bones cracking.

This is the pressure caused by gravity pulling on the object.

"Haha, that's child's play."

Although it was difficult, he still forced a relaxed demeanor and said, "Watch closely, this old man is about to ascend to the fifth step."

After saying that, he channeled his inner energy and stepped forward in one go.

"Oh!"

The moment his second foot followed, a cloud of blood mist exploded.

He was like a balloon, bursting from the inside out... In the end, he collapsed on the steps like a boneless lump of flesh.

died!

Unable to withstand the absolute gravity, it eventually exploded.

"Holy crap, a post-natal realm expert can't even climb the fifth step? What's the point of playing this game?"

"Let's all go, no one can make it up there, it's all a scam."

"Give up, all of you!"

"..."

Seeing this, almost everyone lost faith.

There are eighteen steps in total, yet even a Houtian Realm expert can't get past the fifth one. What's the point of playing like this?

Unless a god descends, no one can get up there.

Just as everyone was about to leave, a deep voice rang out.

"And I."

Everyone looked on in surprise, wondering if anyone was really that stupid.

They only exclaimed in surprise when they saw the old man slowly walking up the steps.

"Holy crap, isn't this Liu Chunfeng, the old patriarch of the Liu family?"

"It's him, it's him! I heard he reached the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm a long time ago, his cultivation is unfathomable."

"Hey, you're out of touch. Patriarch Liu has already broken through to the Innate Realm. Moreover, he fought Ye Huang a few days ago and even Ye Huang was at a disadvantage. You can imagine how strong he is."

"What? Even Ye Huang is no match for him?"

Everyone felt there was hope.

After all, although the Innate Realm and the Acquired Realm are only one realm apart, their actual cultivation levels are worlds apart.

With a powerful expert at the Innate Realm making a move, they naturally eagerly awaited it.

"Old Liu is mighty!"

"Old Liu is awesome! Keep it up, Old Liu!"

"come on!"

"..."

One by one, they shouted encouragement.

Off the field, Ye Feng glanced at Gulnazar and, seeing her serious expression, couldn't help but say, "Aren't you going up? If you're late, you won't get a turn."

Upon hearing this, Gulnazar looked even more annoyed.

She sighed and said, "The difficulty of drawing the sword still exceeded my expectations. With my current cultivation level, let alone drawing the sword, I would be lucky if I could even reach the sixth level."

That Lord Liao from earlier was only at the early stage of the Acquired Realm, and he had only reached the fourth level.

Her acquired Great Perfection is at most the sixth level, still far from the Heavenly Sword realm.

Although she desperately wanted the Heavenly Sword, she wouldn't risk her life on something uncertain.

"As for you, with your cultivation level, you should be able to reach at least the eighth level."

Ye Feng shrugged. "You overestimate me. I'm not that interested in the Heavenly Sword. I wouldn't be jealous if anyone pulled it out."

He only cared about the ten-thousand-year-old ice essence buried beneath the Heavenly Sword. If someone pulled out the Heavenly Sword, he would congratulate them to avoid becoming the target of public criticism.

If no one pulls it out, he'll have to do it himself.

"Do you think Liu Chunfeng has a chance?" Ye Feng asked.

"Hard to say."

Gulnazar said, "After all, the gap between the Innate Realm and the Acquired Realm is like an insurmountable chasm. No one knows how strong Liu Chunfeng really is."
