Heaven Defying Emperor

Iron Wolf's speed was not fast. He was counting the steps as he climbed up. The higher they went, the more tyrannical the flames became. Later on, even with the protection of the Demon Silkworm's cloak, Tie Lang's whole body was already dripping with sweat. His skin was burned by the intense heat of the flames until it was extremely painful.

However, he still clenched his teeth and continued upwards.

Drops of sweat oozed out of his pores, converging on his skin and flowing down. But as it flowed, it was directly dried by the heat of the flames …

He had no choice but to use all of his strength to circulate the [Adamantine Power], maintaining his physical body in an extremely strong state, and persevering forward.

When he reached the 2900 step, Tie Lang finally reached his limit. Other than his right arm and legs, which had their meridians opened through the [Divine Alchemy Book of Alchemy], there was no other part of his body that could last this long.

He had no choice but to use his martial spirit's ability – Berserk, transforming into a ferocious blood wolf. The amount of energy in his body increased exponentially, causing the pain from the burning of the flames to lessen significantly. Then, he took another step upwards …

"I really wonder how much longer I can last? However, if there is a Divine Body meridian above every step, then there should be 10,800 steps. In my current situation, it would be impossible for me to last until the end, unless I completely cultivate the Divine Alchemy Book of Alchemy and have no weaknesses in my body. Perhaps, I might be able to succeed! "

Sure enough, the higher he went, the more intense the flames became. There were even some steps that were twisted, misaligned, or even missing. It forced Tie Lang to pass through the sea of flames to find the stairs that led upwards. When he reached the 381st step, he reached his limit once again. He had no choice but to expel the Holy Wolf's Skeleton and hide within it, using the power within the bone to resist the constantly increasing Supreme Yang Purple Flame as if it was wearing a set of white bone armor. In the end, he even took out the Sun Devouring Arrow and continuously controlled it to absorb the approaching fire spirit energy. Only then did he manage to reach the peak step by step with extreme difficulty!

"What happened here?" After arriving here, Tie Lang couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.

Although it was said to be the peak of the mountain, in reality, this place was a completely different scene.

When the fire mountain and ice mountain broke at almost the same time, it wasn't a smooth break, but a twist. Countless tall, short stone pillars covered the peak of the mountain, the tips of which were sharp like the tip of a sword, pointing towards the dark sky.

The tyrannical power of the Supreme Yang Purple Flame and the power of the Supreme Yin blue ice clashed violently in the air above the peaks, creating numerous gray storms. There were almost a thousand large and small tornadoes sweeping towards the two peaks from midair, wreaking havoc wildly, even space itself was being compressed and deformed. From time to time, pieces of broken ice or flaming rocks were swallowed up by the tornados, turning into dust …

Streaks of black lightning, like terrifying pythons, passed through the storm with the power to destroy everything. The iron wolf who had just reached the peak was almost struck by the lightning.

Tie Lang carefully dodged these terrifying attacks, and searched around the mountain peak for a long time, but he didn't find anything special. Moreover, there seemed to be a natural invisible barrier at the intersection of the fire and ice peaks, making it impossible to pass through. Even if Tie Lang wanted to go over and take a look, it was impossible.

However, there were traces of feelings in his heart, as if he had an extremely close connection with the other side. Qingshu's face that had an immortal aura, as well as Qin Meijuan's face that was filled with tears, suddenly appeared in his mind. However, her image was a bit weaker than Qing Shu's …

However, this was enough to make Tie Lang surprised. "What's going on? It was normal to miss Qingshu. How can this Qin Meijuan appear in my mind from time to time? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! But this sort of inexplicable connection seems to have been deeply imprinted in my heart, perhaps it was caused by the effects of the illusions within the Happy Monument! "

Tie Lang shook his head, and slowly walked towards the place where he had first set foot on the peak. There, on a wide flight of steps, purple flames raged, shooting into the sky and burning even the occasional tornado into nothingness.

"It seems that the summit is only a chaotic storm with no other special secrets. There were only 4,999 steps left! It's almost six thousand levels away from the complete 10800 level. No wonder the Joyous Sect Leader said that this formation is incomplete. " Tie Lang slowly sat down, and thought to himself, "I'd better explore the secret on this step as soon as possible!"

Iron Wolf used his soul consciousness to explore the steps, yet he touched the meridians that were gradually showing up, while secretly operating the < Divine Alchemy Book of Alchemy > to find the corresponding meridians, in an attempt to find the resonance between them.

Once the two meridians appeared, they began to interact with each other. At the same time, they were also on guard, as if they were brothers that had been separated for a long time, familiar yet unfamiliar to each other!

The meridian in the middle of the stairs corresponded to the Qi restraining meridian in the body. The meridian was below the abdomen, passed through the Qi Sea from left to right, and then went up to the chest. There were a total of twelve acupoints.

Even with Tie Lang's cultivation speed, he was still far from being able to reach this point. The [Meridian Forging God Scripture] was very mysterious, and could be considered to be extremely difficult to cultivate. Now, Tie Lang was only able to open up meridians below his right arm and ankle, but it had already revealed its extraordinary nature.

Two hours had passed, but there was still no reaction between the two meridians.

Another day passed, but it was still the same.

Tie Lang couldn't help but feel anxious. After using his soul consciousness for so long, he was already feeling extremely tired. Cold sweat poured out all over his body. However, he was still unwilling to give up. He forced himself to calm down and used his spiritual sense to feel the incessantly flowing and shining meridian on the stairs, his mind continuously revolving.

"I have tried to receive all 12 of these acupoints separately, but none of them have any effect. Even if I tried to use my entire meridian to touch them, it wouldn't be enough." There must be a close connection between them, but where is the key? Shining? Flow... "

In that instant, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the night sky, a ray of light suddenly lit up in Tie Lang's mind!

The meridian at the bottom of the stairs was obviously pulsing, which meant that it was a clear meridian. However, although his meridians had found their positions, they had yet to open up. The twelve acupoints were all separate and separate. In fact, it could not be called a complete meridian.

"Perhaps this is the problem? In any case, I've tried all sorts of things. "There seems to be only one possibility left!" Tie Lang thought to himself. He withdrew his spiritual sense from the stairs and started to open the restraining energy meridian according to the < Divine Alchemy Book >.

The cultivation of the Divine Alchemy Book usually required a huge amount of energy. Right now, the environment was truly an excellent choice.

In just half a day's time, Tie Lang had broken through the Qi restraining meridian in one go!

The 12 acupoints were connected perfectly together. When Tie Lang tried to circulate his zhenqi through his regular meridians and infused it through his Qi Sea, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the strength of his entire abdomen had increased nearly tenfold compared to before!

The soft belly of the human body was like a hard iron plate. Even if one did not use the < Diamond Power > technique, its strength was still unimaginable. Even high level soldiers would not be able to injure themselves here.
