Chapter 12: What is Love in the World? Chapter 12: Breakthrough

Ye Chen endured the pain in his body and crawled up from the ground. His black hair was covered in blood and stuck to his face. He raised his head like a ferocious wolf and stared at the sacred and majestic Tiandao Mountain.

A person faces a mountain.

It’s like facing the whole world.

Ye Chen slowly stood up from the ground, dragging his wounded and exhausted body, and took a decisive step towards the stone steps. In this silent space, only the rustling sound of his slight footsteps could be heard.

The metal man seemed to be a heartless creature. He looked at Ye Chen's actions with cold eyes and did not say anything to stop him.

Soon, Ye Chen came to the stone steps again. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and dug his nails deep into his palms. The pain made him sober up a little, and he took a step forward resolutely.

Boom~~

The surging pressure permeated his whole body, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

Ye Chen stared at the stone steps above, with only the thought of conquest in his mind, as if as long as he conquered this small stone step in front of him, he would conquer the whole world.

So, he took a step forward resolutely. The vast pressure came like a tide, surging in on him, getting deeper and deeper, heavier and heavier, making him feel as if he couldn't breathe, even his heart stopped beating, and he had difficulty breathing.

Ye Chen stood straight, then slowly bent down at the foot of the sacred and vast Tiandao Mountain.

Then, reach out.

Grab the first set of stone steps ahead.

Like a humble ant, he climbed this towering stone mountain. Under the dazzling and holy light, his body trembled slightly, and the blood in his body rolled out, seeping out through his pores and dripping on the stone steps, leaving bloody footprints.

Climb! Climb! Climb!

Ye Chen used his hands and feet to climb up the stone steps. His consciousness was on the verge of collapse. There was no thought in his mind, only the thought of mechanically climbing to the next stone step...

His body slowly moved upwards, from the 145th stone step, to the 170th stone step. When he arrived there, his whole body was shaking. This time he climbed even higher than the previous 5 steps.

However, at this moment Ye Chen had no time to think. He had only one thought, which was to reach the top!

At the 171st stone step...

Bang!

Ye Chen grabbed the stone steps with his hands and held on tightly, but a tremendous force directly hit his soul, causing his whole body and soul to tremble. He was blown away and fell at the foot of the majestic and vast Tiandao Mountain. His body was in close contact with the hard ground, and blood spurted out of his pores, staining the ground red.

Ye Chen's mind was dizzy, as if he had never slept before, and he was struck by a strong sense of sleepiness.

Go to sleep, go to sleep...

Deep in my heart, there seems to be an alluring voice persuading me.

Ye Chen clenched his fists, shook his head, and pinched his thigh hard. The severe pain made him much more awake. His face was covered in blood, which mixed with sweat and flowed down, making him look like a bloody man.

He raised his head, looking tired but determined, staring at the majestic Tiandao Mountain.

Deep, gasping breath.

He dragged his heavy steps and walked towards Tiandao Mountain again. Although his body was covered with scars, his head was splitting, and he wished he could split his brain with a palm, but nothing could stop him.

Heading towards Tiandao Mountain.

After a while...

At the 176th stone step, Ye Chen's entire body flew backwards with a bang and fell heavily to the ground. His brain hit the hard ground and he fainted.

In his arms, the collar of his clothes moved, and the little white rabbit crawled out from it, with drooping ears and sleepy eyes. It waved its paws and yawned slightly. Then it saw that something was wrong with its owner, and quickly climbed down from him, only to find that its owner was covered in blood. It couldn't help but tilt its head, and its black gemstone-like eyes flickered with some doubt.

The metal man not far away saw the little white rabbit and immediately locked onto it.

"Scan target."

"Race, unknown, strength, unknown."

The metal man was stunned for a moment. "The chip that the master gave me contains the most advanced knowledge base, which contains all the monsters in the Demonic Beasts, Spiritual Beasts, Divine Beasts, and Super Divine Beasts. How could it fail to scan this little rabbit?"

"Is it just an ornamental animal?"

"Or is it so rare that it's not even recorded in those animal manuals?"

He had some doubts in his heart, but did not think too much about it. In the vast ancient continent, there were countless beast tribes, and no one dared to say that they knew all the monsters. Although there were many monsters recorded in the beast manuals of various levels, almost all the monsters in the entire ancient continent, there were still some extremely rare monsters that were unknown to outsiders.

Or maybe this little rabbit is not even a monster, but just an ornamental animal, like the deer, tigers, lions, etc. on Earth, which are all ornamental animals in the ancient world.

A child born here at a few years old can easily crush a tiger to death.

The little white rabbit squatted in front of Ye Chen, looking left and right, with a puzzled look on its face. It scratched its head from time to time, full of confusion. However, its owner was right in front of it, so it would not run around. It could only lie on Ye Chen again and lick his chin.

Time passes...

Six days later, Ye Chen slowly woke up. Before he was fully conscious, he seemed to vaguely see a figure in white clothes standing in front of him.

He was startled and quickly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, gasping for breath.

It turned out to be a dream!

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he felt a small thing falling on his leg. He couldn't help but look down and found that it was a little white rabbit. The little white rabbit seemed not to have fully woken up, and its eyes were sleepy. It glanced at Ye Chen, and its eyes suddenly lit up. It jumped up quickly, threw itself on his face, and was very intimate.

Ye Chen reached out and picked it up, stroking its furry little head. Then he thought of something and looked up, his eyes falling on the majestic Tiandao Mountain.

His expression became solemn, he slowly put the little white rabbit down, stood up, took a look at the healed wounds all over his body, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Suddenly, he had an idea and quickly opened a space folding bag, only to see the rune spaceship parked inside, with corpses piled up like a mountain on it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

A gleam of light flashed across Ye Chen's eyes, "With the pressure of Tiandao Mountain, it is not only a test of the mind and willpower, but also the body."

He reached into the space folding bag with his hand, and corpses flew out. Under a surge of force, their bodies collapsed and turned into streams of pure demigod blood, which flowed into Ye Chen's palm.

“Quenching!”

“Quenching!”

Ye Chen felt that his physique was increasing rapidly. After tempering thousands of corpses, his physique also increased by more than 00 levels! A gleam of light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the corpse of Zhufeng.

"I wonder how much the blood of a pseudo-god can enhance my strength?" Ye Chen's expression was grim. He took out Zhufeng's body with a pinch of his palm, and with a slight pound, he crushed the whole body and took it into his palm.

Under the power of devouring and the "True Dragon Art", the entire corpse was refined into pure energy, flowing into the skin, flesh, and genes, undergoing a series of miraculous changes and transformations.

After a while, Ye Chen opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his heart, "My physical fitness has increased by 800 levels! This pseudo-god corpse is comparable to 1,000 demigod corpses!"

After tempering these corpses, Ye Chen's physique improved a lot, and his wounds healed faster. With a wave of his hand, thousands of demigod suits and one pseudo-god suit that fell from these corpses were thrown into the rune spaceship. Then he closed the space, looked at Tiandao Mountain, and walked over.

“Trample! Trample! Trample!”

Ye Chen took one step at a time, like a humble ant, determined to reach the pinnacle of this world!

At the 182nd stone step, he was blasted away by the tremendous force, his body covered in blood, and an intense feeling of fatigue struck his mind, but then he got up again and walked towards the stone steps.

After repeating this four times, the whole person finally couldn't bear it anymore when he reached the 199th stone step. He was thrown down heavily, fell to the hard ground, and fainted.

This sleep lasted for five days.

As soon as he regained consciousness, Ye Chen quickly woke up, and then he climbed up the stone steps without wasting any time. Through climbing, Ye Chen vaguely discovered that every time he climbed, he would reach his limit, and then there would be a slight change, as if his strength had been enhanced a lot invisibly.

Being frustrated may not be a sad thing.

In this vast space, there is only this lonely figure, climbing the solemn and sacred Tiandao Mountain as if doing something in vain.

The little white rabbit was a little confused, not understanding why its owner was so crazy. Was there anything delicious on the mountain? Perhaps only Ye Chen knew that there was someone waiting for him on the top of the mountain...

One month later.

At the 352nd stone step, with constant climbing and perseverance, his ability to fight became stronger and stronger, and his recovery speed became faster and faster. Every time he reached his limit and fainted, he would quickly recover.

Boom~~

A tremendous pressure enveloped Ye Chen, wrapping his entire body and pushing his whole body outwards, as if to blast him into the sky. Waves of tearing force emerged in his mind, as if countless people were pulling his hair and gnawing at every nerve in his brain. He wished he could bang his head against the stone steps and die, then maybe it wouldn't hurt so much.

Ye Chen endured the pain, his body trembling slightly, like an ant, shivering in front of the majestic power of heaven.

Willpower is constantly being honed and compressed.

Boom~~

Ye Chen's mind suddenly felt a buzzing sound and entered a blank state. The tearing pain disappeared at once and he felt more comfortable than ever before. After a while, the feeling slowly disappeared.

Ye Chen immediately felt that the world in front of him became clearer, and the vast pressure seemed to become extremely weak all of a sudden. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly found that his mind had broken through and reached the seventh level of wise man!

Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect that at the foot of Tiandao Mountain, his spiritual power could actually break through, and the breakthrough was so rapid!

Without any hesitation, he stepped forward and rushed upwards. Compared with before, after his mental breakthrough, it became extremely easy for him to walk on the stone steps. He rushed all the way from the 352nd floor to the 4th floor before he felt the pressure again.
