Chapter 2026
It was a stone bridge constructed out of white granite.
After pausing momentarily, James walked toward the bridge. As he stepped onto the bridge, he was
suddenly overwhelmed by powerful pressure. He could feel a mountain crushing his shoulders as his
knees slowly gave way, and he copsed to the ground. No matter how hard he tried to get back up, he
could not.
So, James simply remained sprawled on the bridge and breathed in heavily. After some time, he
catalyzed the True Lunar and Terra Energy inside his body. As True Lunar and Terra Energy spread
throughout his body, he summonsed his physical strength and stood up, repelling the enormous
pressure.
Crack!
The pressure was so great that his skeleton began to crack.
However, as he possessed enormous power, he managed to withstand the pressure. Just as he raised
his leg to take the next step, his foot was somehow glued to the surface of the bridge. No matter how
hard he tried, he could not break free.
“Goddamn it!” James summoned all his strength, and green veins began popping out in his neck.
Sweat beaded on his forehead as he raised his leg. However, it appeared that some mysterious force
was tugging at his leg, preventing him from breaking free.
Then, excruciating pain came from his thighs. Withstanding the pain, he forcibly took a few steps
forward, advancing five meters in total.
After advancing five meters, his strength was depleted, and he copsed to the ground, panting for
breath.
“This is impossible.”
James was stunned.
His physical body was created using the Demonic Lotus of the Demon Race. Although his rank was
low, his physical strength was extremely powerful. Regardless, he could only advance five
meters.
Meanwhile, the bridge was a hundred meters in length. It would be impossible for him to traverse a
hundred meters.
James sat on the ground and catalyzed the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi, absorbing Empyrean
Spiritual Energy to regain his strength.
Soon, his body recovered.
He then stood up with great difficulty and looked in front of him.
There were many others on the stone bridge. Some were advancing, while others were resting.

Their situation was dire. The bodies of some challengers were torn apart, and they were covered in
blood all over. However, they did not concede defeat and continued to crawl forward. The Celestial
Abode was too enticing. If they could obtain it, they would benefit
enormously from it. That was why they had to persist no matter the cost.
Upon seeing the injured, James took a deep breath. Then, he summoned all his strength-both True
Energy and physical strength-andbined them together before advancing once more. This time, he
advanced several meters in one go.
However, the further he advanced, the greater the pressure.
Crack!
A sound came from within his body.
Unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure any longer, the bones on his legs shattered into
pieces, and he copsed to the ground heavily.
When he mmed to the ground, he felt the weight of a mountain on his shoulders. Unable to
withstand the pressure, cracks began appearing on his body.
However, as his body was magical, his injuries would rapidly heal upon being injured.
As James panted for breath, his injuries had recovered. Lying on the ground, he catalyzed the
Novenary Golden Body Siddhi and nourished his physical body. Although his physical body suffered a
great injury, it nheless grew increasingly stronger.
Then, he cultivated for three days at the same spot.
Three dayster, the pressure on his shoulders gradually lifted. He stood up with great difficulty and
continued his advance.
This time, he arrived at the fifty-meter mark.
As he arrived at the fifty-meter mark, he was once again mmed to the ground by terrifying pressure.
Cracks began appearing on his body, and his blood tainted the surface of the bridge.
