Chapter 734

"That's too fast!"
One of the monastery heads let out a startled cry. In previous generations, it had taken a full day for any disciple to reach the 900th stair.
But now, less than half a day had passed. These monastery heads had also once experienced the Netherworld Heaven Staircase, so they knew how terrifying it was. The higher you went, the greater the difficulty was. The strongest amongst them had only climbed to the 780th stair.
Looking at those figures, even the vice sect master was moved. Those five figures were all terrifying. Of course, the most terrifying one was Long Chen.
Long Chen's robes were already soaked in sweat, and he was panting heavily. He was the one under the most pressure.
But in order to give the Dragonblood warriors morale, he could only clench his teeth and continue forward. He refused to fall behind by even a single step.
The others weren't much better off than him. They were all panting and covered in sweat. They couldn't conceal their exhaustion.
The pressure made it feel like mountains were crushing them. That was no illusion, but true pressure. This cruel trial was a test of both the mind and body.
Meng, Tang reached the 853rd stair, and Gu Yang and others were not far behind.
The Dragonblood Legion reach the 800th stair, unprecedented as in the past only Celestials reached that point. 
"The final three stairs!"
They had currently reached the 996th stair. The five of them were trembling, and that furious roar had come from Zhao Wuji. They had obviously reached their limits.
The monastery heads could no longer remain sitting. They stood, watching with rapt attention. These final three steps were the most crucial.
