"Not everyone is qualified to inherit the power of a strong man. If you can't even bear this little pressure, I think you should go home as soon as possible to avoid losing your life in vain." Shao Chengxiong continued.
Under the immense pressure that felt like a mountain pressing down on their heads, Qu Shanling and the others were already half-kneeling on the ground, relying on their long swords to support themselves and not fall down. It was obvious that they could not hold on for too long.
Although Zhuang Ping'an and the others remained standing, they struggled to move. Every step required an exhausting effort, leaving them drenched in sweat and even leaving a puddle on the ground beneath their feet. Judging from their current situation, they would be completely exhausted before they even reached the skylight. By then, they would have no strength left to retreat.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize the horror of the Sky Curtain and deeply felt the Holy Lord's painstaking efforts. If it weren't for the training during that time in the Holy Court and the experience in the Beiyuan Mist Plain, they might not have been able to hold out for even a moment when they arrived at the Sky Curtain.
However, what would be the point even if they could barely hold on for a moment? If they could not withstand this tremendous pressure, they would not be able to obtain the inheritance and might even lose their lives.
"Master Qu, why don't you step out first." Mu Hanyan said to Qu Shanling. She didn't want to see this old charlatan die in the sky.
"No!" Unexpectedly, Qu Shanling said decisively, his eyes were extremely determined.
There was one thing he hadn't told Mu Hanyan. The reason he'd followed her to the Sky Curtain was because he'd long ago determined that by following Mu Hanyan, he'd find his master. The last time Mu Hanyan went to the Holy Court, his bloodline hadn't yet awakened, so he couldn't accompany her. He regretted this for a long time, losing his appetite and feeling dazed. In this trance, he unexpectedly awakened his bloodline.
He had originally intended to rush to the Holy Court immediately, but the teleportation array wasn't always available, and the Holy Court wouldn't activate it just for him. Knowing Mu Hanyan and the others were heading to Beiyuan Wuyuan, he simply set off ahead. After going through so much hardship to reach Tianmu, he could finally follow Mu Hanyan in search of her master. How could he bear to give up like this?
Mu Hanyan looked at the others again. Except for the young men who came to the sky curtain with Qu Shanling and hesitated for a while, and quickly left the sky curtain while they still had some strength left, no one else wavered.
Everyone's gaze rested on Mu Hanyan. They knew that reaching those tombstones on their own was impossible. Ye Lanxun had tried not to intervene during the entire journey, and now that they had reached Tianmu, he would make no exception. Mu Hanyan was the only one who could help them.
They had unconsciously developed an almost intuitive trust in Mu Hanyan. Whenever they were in danger, they would habitually think of her and place their hopes on her.
Mu Hanyan could of course feel the meaning in their gazes. In fact, this was what she had intended.
Since we have gathered them around us and brought them step by step to the sky, we must work hard to help them go further.
"Nine Heavens, Stars Fall!" Mu Hanyan drew out the Luochen Sword and slashed heavily towards the sky.
The immense sword power was unleashed with this sword, and Zhuang Ping'an and the others suddenly felt the pressure relieved. They also drew out their swords and followed Mu Hanyan in slashing in the air.
Hundreds of sword beams were launched at the same time, and the pressure on his body was reduced a lot.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone took a few steps forward at the same time.
"Naive! How long can you go on and how long can you hold on with this method? You will just die faster." Seeing this scene, Shao Chengxiong became even more disdainful and said with a curled lip.
He was right. Although they took several steps at the same time, that sword strike greatly consumed everyone's physical strength, which was like drinking poison to quench thirst. After a few steps, facing greater pressure, let alone Qu Shanling and others, even Zhuang Ping'an and Yue Fanchen had traces of blood oozing from the corners of their mouths.
Mu Hanyan's eyes lit up slightly. Although Zhuang Ping'an and others had only taken a few steps and the situation looked even worse, it also proved that the pressure from the sky curtain was not insurmountable for them. It was just that their strength was limited and they could not hold on.
Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan took out a number of Qi-replenishing and Energy-boosting pills and gave them to everyone to take, then slowly performed a series of hand gestures.
Seeing Mu Hanyan's hand gestures, Zhuang Ping'an and the others were thrilled. They remembered how, shortly after entering the Northern Abyss Mist Plain, Mu Hanyan had used this hand gesture to unite their sword power, easily repelling the violent stone beast. Later, using the same hand gestures and the same sword power, she collaborated with Ye Lanxun and Fen Qianji to break through the barrier of the Fallen God Abyss. Although an unexpected event later trapped Mu Hanyan and Jiang Qiling in the Fallen God Abyss, they had personally experienced the mysterious and extraordinary power of this hand gesture.
Although they had never seen Mu Hanyan display such magical skills since then, they still remembered this hand gesture clearly!
Could it be that she wanted to gather everyone's strength and forcibly defeat the terrifying pressure of Tianmu? Although it seemed a bit unrealistic, their eyes still showed excitement. This was Tianmu, and they felt excited just thinking about it.
"Stars fall, the world is in ruins!" Mu Hanyan swung the sword again.
Zhuang Ping'an and the others were already prepared. They immediately drew their swords and attacked with all their might, even without her saying anything. Thanks to the elixir they had just taken, they had regained some of their strength.
"What? You actually want to gather the sword power of everyone to forcibly break through the pressure of the sky. You are crazy, you must be crazy." Shao Chengxiong had a good eye. It was easy for him to guess what Mu Hanyan wanted to do from her hand gestures and the actions of everyone. He looked at Mu Hanyan as if she was a lunatic.
What a joke! These descendants of the God's Guardians are obviously from major families in various countries on the continent. They have been practicing completely different techniques since childhood. Their strength has reached the current level, and they also have different understandings of the laws of heaven and earth. How could they possibly gather their sword power together?
Anyway, he doesn't have this ability. He even doubts that the Holy Lord may not have such ability.
He didn't know that Mu Hanyan had already succeeded. Even if Mu Hanyan succeeded, what would it matter? With their strength, they couldn't possibly break through the might of the Sky Curtain. You have to know that the Sky Curtain is the final barrier between the Holy Court Continent and the Divine Continent. The immense power of heaven and gods contained within it is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Senior Brother Shao, she is not crazy. There are some things that you just can't imagine, but they are not necessarily things she can't do." Wei Xiaotian said slowly.
Although he addressed Shao Chengxiong as "senior brother", the Twelve Saints only joined the sect at different times, and they were not ranked as brothers among themselves. He only addressed him as "senior brother" out of courtesy and respect for Shao Chengxiong's strength, but his status was not lower than his. Listening to him chattering incessantly and mocking Mu Hanyan in every way, he finally couldn't help but retort him.
"Hmph, I'd like to see how she does it!" Shao Chengxiong couldn't even get angry when Wei Xiaotian retorted, but his expression and tone still maintained the previous respectful and politeness. He could only snort coldly.
Just as the two were talking, Mu Hanyan's last few hand gestures suddenly changed.
