Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 446: Summit of the Celestial Ladder

"Very well, consider yourself wise."

Huyan Ting nodded with satisfaction and spoke to Ying Hongyu.

"Then quickly climb up."

Ying Hongyu seemed completely unfazed by those mocking words, smiling at Huyan Ting.

Huyan Ting glanced disdainfully at Ying Hongyu, then directly lifted his foot to climb upward.

"You’ve disgraced the Emperor’s Son."

"A disgrace as an Emperor’s Son, pathetic."

As Huyan Ting’s group passed by Ying Hongyu, they too uttered words of scorn.

However, Ying Hongyu always wore a smile, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

"Do you also think I’m incompetent?"

After Huyan Ting and the others stepped onto higher stairs, Ying Hongyu turned to Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue and asked.

"Whether you’re incompetent is not for others to say, you must know it yourself."

Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly and spoke.

"Bullying the weak isn’t necessarily a show of strength, and being kind to others isn’t necessarily a sign of incompetence."

Xiao Ningyue also smiled gently and said.

"All are ignorant, only Brother Wang and Miss Xiao understand me."

Hearing this, Ying Hongyu’s smile grew even brighter, nodding in agreement.

The three did not delay and continued to climb upward.

The last ninety-nine steps increased the pressure on them with each tier they ascended.

However, with the strength of Wang Ruoxie, Xiao Ningyue, and Ying Hongyu, they still managed to reach the ninetieth tier of the Ninth Heaven within half an hour.

"Only the last nine steps left."

Wen Qinglan, Huyan Ting, Wang Ruoxie, Xiao Ningyue, Ying Hongyu, and the others all stopped on this tier.

They did not immediately ascend the last nine steps of the Celestial Ladder, knowing full well that the pressure of these last nine steps was terrifying, incomparable to before.

"I’ll go first."

After a moment of silence, Huyan Ting suddenly spoke.

With that, he lifted his foot and stepped onto the first step of the final nine.

"Buzz!"

As Huyan Ting stepped onto the first step, everyone felt the space tremble suddenly, and then they saw Huyan Ting’s body shiver violently, with a trickle of blood even at the corner of his mouth.

However, he managed to stand firmly there.

"Is the pressure of the last nine steps really this terrifying?"

Seeing this, everyone was utterly shocked.

This was only the first of the last nine steps, yet it made Huyan Ting look so strained. Imagine how terrifying the remaining eight steps would be.

After resting for a moment, Huyan Ting moved again.

"Roar..."

Huyan Ting let out a long howl and moved his foot forward forcefully, taking several continuous steps without pausing, finally standing on the eighth step.

This meant he only needed to step up one more tier to reach the top of the Celestial Ladder and pass this round of the test.

"No one can stop the steps of Huyan Ting, let alone the power of a mere array, break it for me."

Huyan Ting roared madly, and then a terrifying aura burst forth from him, shooting up to the sky.

"Such powerful strength, truly worthy of being an Emperor’s Son."

Many people felt this terrifying aura and looked at Huyan Ting with eyes full of shock.

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Huyan Ting’s body trembled, then stepped onto the last tier, indicating he stood at the top of the Celestial Ladder and naturally passed this first round of testing.

"I am waiting for you all. I hope you can follow in my footsteps and enter the Profound Lady Sect successfully."

Huyan Ting, with an arrogant demeanor, looked down and spoke, then walked straight into the depths of the clouds and mist, disappearing from sight.

"It’s my turn."

After Huyan Ting passed the test, Wen Qinglan immediately said.

Before her words even fell, she quickly ascended. Compared to Huyan Ting’s struggle, she appeared much more at ease.

Although every time she stepped onto a tier, her body would tremble slightly, she quickly reached the last tier and stood atop the Celestial Ladder.

"Wen Qinglan is indeed a descendant of the Divine Human Realm, a peerless genius with a Divine Tier bloodline. Once she enters the Profound Lady Sect, she will likely be promoted to Saintess, her status far above ordinary disciples."

"Such an existence might not emerge even in a century. This test of the Profound Lady Sect, the first place must be hers without a doubt."

Seeing the graceful silhouette of Wen Qinglan disappearing into the mist, many people discussed in shocked tones.

Next, several more people reached the top of the Celestial Ladder, but these people were even more disheveled than Huyan Ting. Although they eventually succeeded in passing this first round of tests, they did so with all their might, with many nearly spitting blood with every step they ascended.

Some even crawled up the last three steps.

"Let’s do it together."

Ying Hongyu said to Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue, then lifted his foot and stepped onto the first tier.

"Look, that incompetent Emperor’s Son is climbing the last nine steps of the Celestial Ladder."

Many people below focused their gaze on Ying Hongyu, seemingly waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

In many people’s eyes, this incompetent Emperor’s Son might be directly repelled off the Celestial Ladder.

However, to their disappointment, Ying Hongyu’s form was as steady as a mountain, steadily climbing upward step by step.

A moment later, he stood atop the Celestial Ladder, having passed this round of testing.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing Ying Hongyu stand atop the Celestial Ladder, those below were filled with disbelief. Is this still the incompetent Emperor’s Son?

"Looks like this guy hid his depth well."

Wang Ruoxie glanced at Ying Hongyu with eyes revealing a hint of surprise, murmuring to himself.

"His physique may not differ much from yours."

Xiao Ningyue nodded slightly, her eyes hinting at something as she spoke.

"If those who mocked him knew that the so-called incompetent Emperor’s Son had the strength to look down upon them, I wonder what they would think."

Wang Ruoxie smiled slightly and commented.

"Neither Huyan Ting, nor Wen Qinglan, nor the deeply hidden Ying Hongyu can compare to you."

Xiao Ningyue turned her head, smiled sweetly at Wang Ruoxie, and said.

"Since they’ve all passed this round of testing, let us begin too, so as not to keep them waiting."

Hearing Xiao Ningyue’s words, Wang Ruoxie didn’t argue, smiling.

Then, under the incredulous gazes from below, the two quickly reached the top of the Celestial Ladder, passing this round of testing with apparent ease.

Especially Wang Ruoxie, who seemed to be merely strolling, casually stepping over the last nine steps of the Celestial Ladder as if not feeling any pressure from the power.

"Could they also be Emperor’s Son and Empress, or descendants of the Divine Human Realm?"

"This test has seen so many prodigies, first Wen Qinglan, then the so-called incompetent Emperor’s Son Ying Hongyu, and now two more unknowns."

"Is the rumored incompetent Emperor’s Son really incompetent?"

Faces full of disbelief, everyone discussed, questioning Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue’s backgrounds.
