Chapter 1018, The Roaring True Dragon

Translator: Silavin

 

Above Saints Heavenly City, air currents rolled outward like surging waves.

 

Countless devout gazes fixed intently upon that True Dragon phantom manifestation suspended in mid-air. Beneath the True Dragon phantom manifestation, a body originally unable to bear the burden now revived like withered wood welcoming spring, gradually recovering.

 

Even the Heaven Stairway’s terrifyingly extreme pressure seemed unable to suppress him at this moment. His figure gradually stood firm and upright.

 

Gazing at that deity-like figure, complete silence fell across Saints Heavenly City. Every gaze remained devout and penetrating. Even those of high status and authority could not help but lower their heads.

 

“Ah!” Suddenly, that figure raised his head in a sky-piercing roar. Within this cry, he seemed to release years of suppressed frustration in a single bellow.

 

*Aoowu!* Following his roar, the True Dragon phantom manifestation also released another roar. Within that sound resonated ancient and incomparably powerful sensations. It surveyed its surroundings with solitary pride, looking down upon all beneath it.

 

Hearing this roar, countless faces changed expression.

 

Such a young man actually possessed a True Dragon Martial Soul! Even more remarkably, before this moment, not a single Force had received any intelligence of this whatsoever.

 

Possessing such a Heaven Defying Martial Soul yet concealing it so thoroughly demonstrated precisely how mentally resilient Qin Yichen was.

 

After a considerable time, that thunder-like roar gradually softens, seemingly narrating a kind of heartbroken emotion.

 

This emotion spread like a virus through the hearts of Human Race experts. Many emotionally sensitive individuals even shed tears.

 

Perhaps few knew that Su Hua from the Lunar Palace had once taken Lu Linghan and Little Ling’er without his consent. However, everyone in Saints Heavenly City had personally witnessed the Phoenix Martial Soul that had accompanied this young man, and had been forcibly taken away by someone from the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea!

 

Originally, when the Phoenix Clan expert took Feng Qianxue away, many had regarded Qin Yichen’s attempt to stop them as an act of overestimating his abilities.

 

But at this moment, no one thought that way anymore!

 

As possessor of a True Dragon Martial Soul! He had the qualification to do so!

 

Unfortunately, he had yet to mature, still unable to contend with that Phoenix Clan expert. Even his attempt to obstruct them appeared so pale and powerless.

 

Hearing this roar, countless experts unconsciously clenched their fists tightly.

 

After some time, the roar ceased. Subsequently, before countless gazes, Qin Yichen’s figure shot upward like a True Dragon.

 

The steps that had previously made every movement agonizing now seemed like ordinary household stairs, easily traversed.

 

Where his foot descended, ripples spread outward. The Heaven Stairway’s shackles seemed shattered, completely unable to affect him whatsoever.

 

In an instant, he stepped upon the fortieth step. This was precisely where Ying Xinghui and others stood. These outstanding talents of the younger generation had exhausted themselves merely to move their feet with difficulty at this location.

 

Yet Qin Yichen’s footsteps showed no hesitation whatsoever. Lifting his foot, he continued ascending toward the steps above.

 

“This guy…” Ying Xinghui and the others gazed at Qin Yichen’s retreating back, a sense of powerlessness suddenly arising within their hearts.

 

Qin Yichen actually possessed a True Dragon Martial Soul!

 

How foolish they had been to arrogantly provoke him earlier. Thinking about it now, in his eyes, they had appeared no different from jumping clowns. No wonder he had never looked at them properly.

 

“True Dragon Martial Soul…”

 

Upon the fifty-fourth step stood Bo Wanyang, possessor of the exceedingly rare Great Sun Divine Body Physique that appeared once in several thousand years. Even his expression now appeared extremely grave.

 

Here, the pressure transmitted from the Heaven Stairway made him feel somewhat unable to persist despite fully activating his Great Sun Divine Body.

 

Yet before his staring eyes, Qin Yichen strolled past as casually as walking through a courtyard. Only now did he clearly see the latter’s face.

 

Seeing that countenance considerably younger than his own, Bo Wanyang could not help but feel inwardly shocked.

 

However, Qin Yichen did not spare him a single glance, continuing to ascend, as though nothing could attract his attention.

 

“Damn it!” Being so thoroughly ignored, the proud and arrogant Bo Wanyang couldn’t help but grit his teeth secretly.

 

[No matter how Heaven Defying your Martial Soul, your cultivation realm is merely at the Martial Emperor Realm. Your True Dragon Martial Soul will ultimately become merely a stepping stone on my path to fame!] Bo Wanyang watched coldly as that figure ahead became increasingly unreachable, thought coldly to himself.

 

The spotlight here should have belonged to him alone! Yet now, he had completely become a supporting character!

 

Even more infuriating, countless people were currently watching. Even he couldn’t reveal the slightest dissatisfaction.

 

After all, with a True Dragon Martial Soul. Qin Yichen had already become a pillar in countless Human Race experts’ hearts. Should he display dissatisfaction, he might be viewed as challenging the entire Human Race!

 

Of course, should he defeat the True Dragon Martial Soul in genuine combat, he might reverse this situation, thereby making his reputation incomparable!

 

Soon, that Dragon-like figure advanced triumphantly. Before countless awed gazes, he directly stepped upon the one hundredth step!

 

The one hundredth step! No one had ever reached such heights before!

 

Even those legendary Human Race giants of the past had at most stopped around the ninetieth step!

 

Every ten steps of the Heaven Stairway represented a major leap. The pressure emanating from within underwent a qualitative transformation.

 

Someone with Mu Yanfeng’s rare Physique could only reach approximately the fortieth step. Ying Xinghui and his companions, even exhausting themselves completely, could only reach around the fiftieth step.

 

As for Bo Wanyang with his Great Sun Divine Body that appeared once in several thousand years, he might perhaps enter the seventieth step.

 

Beyond the seventieth step, only those with Physiques rare even across ten thousand years could be treaded upon. As for beyond the hundredth step, Human Race records contained no instance of anyone ever ascending there.

 

Yet now, Qin Yichen stood upon the one hundredth step!

 

Countless experts gazed at Qin Yichen with shocked expressions. He had already created a miracle, breaking the Human Race’s record!

 

As for the final eight steps, no one even considered whether he could continue ascending.

 

“The pressure here…” Standing upon the step, Qin Yichen’s brows furrowed slightly. He discovered that even while activating his True Dragon Martial Soul, the obscure power emanating from the Heaven Stairway still rendered him somewhat unable to move.

 

However, Qin Yichen did not stop attempting. Rather, exceptionally resolute determination emerged within his eyes.

 

Having already revealed his True Dragon Martial Soul, he had to make the desperate attempt.

 

After all, within Human Race hearts, the True Dragon Martial Soul represented a supremely lofty spiritual pillar. Even merely to prove the strength of the True Dragon Martial Soul, he had to continue forward!
