Nine hundred and ninety-nine floors...
No one has ever reached this height from ancient times to the present, and now, Xue Kong is the first person to do so.
But he stood on the stone steps that were almost at the limit, and did not move at all for a long time.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to move, but his body can’t move anymore.
The flames here were so powerful that it seemed as if the power of all 999 stone steps had been condensed together to form a force that could easily destroy him.
Not only did Xue Kong feel unable to move forward, his entire body was numb, as if he could no longer control his body and had lost control.
Even the Vermillion Bird mark between his eyebrows was burned in the raging fire, causing it to scream miserably.
Xue Kong's mind also began to roar.
"This is my real limit." A hint of regret appeared in Xue Kong's deep and dark eyes.
Absolute reason told him that he could not go any further.
Otherwise, there will be no trace left.
For Xue Kong, who pursues immortality, this is unacceptable.
However, there was a strong premonition in his heart that supported him, asking him to take this step and face the baptism of fire.
"Only by being reborn from the fire can one obtain all the power of Suzaku..." Xue Kong didn't know where this premonition came from. He didn't make a decision immediately and fell into deep hesitation.
He always acted decisively, but at this moment he was hesitant.
On one side is the full power of the Vermillion Bird, which can control the fire of heaven and earth.
On the other hand, there is the hope of immortality, which is what he has been pursuing all his life and is also the pursuit of Taoism.
Comparing the two, it is really difficult to choose.
Xue Kong looked like a charred corpse at this moment. His whole body was charred black. His bloated body under the Heavenly Demon Battle Body had become much thinner and was burned by the raging fire to the point that he almost looked like a non-human.
But as long as he leaves from here.
With the terrifying recovery ability of the Heavenly Demon War Body, it can be fully recovered in just a few breaths.
But he was still standing on the 999th stone step.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The passage of time no longer exists in Xue Kong's mind.
His eyes were fixed on the thousand stone steps.
Suddenly, a resentful roar came from above the thousand stone steps, and Xue Kong immediately turned his eyes to look.
But then a red Vermilion Bird was born from the altar a thousand stories above.
This Vermillion Bird was like the master of fire between heaven and earth. When it flapped its wings, the raging fire between heaven and earth moved with it. The strong wind howled, and it rushed straight towards Xue Kong with a sharp and scorching momentum.
It was as if it wanted to blow him away and prevent him from taking this last step.
"The spirit of the Vermillion Bird has indeed been integrated into this world." Xue Kong recognized that the Vermillion Bird was the spirit of the Vermillion Bird that had disappeared from his hands before.
"If you don't let me take this last step, I'll go anyway!" Xue Kong's eyes were extremely calm.
He raised his right foot with all his strength and landed on the thousandth stone step.
However, it was beyond his expectations.
This time, there was no roar, nor any flames appearing out of thin air. Everything was so calm, without any ripples.
It seems that as long as you step onto the thousandth floor, there will be no problem.
However, Xue Kong stared at the Vermillion Bird Spirit, and did not see any anger or worry in its eyes. Instead, there was a kind of sarcasm and gloating.
This made Xue Kong clearly realize that the thousandth level might not be that simple.
But now that he has taken this step, he will never go back.
Until the left foot also stepped on a thousand stone steps.
In an instant, the world seemed to become silent.
The gale disappeared without a trace.
There was no longer any trace of fire between heaven and earth.
Everything disappeared in an instant.
The thousand stone steps behind Xue Kong disappeared into thin air.
Only the spirit of the Vermillion Bird was still mocking Xue Kong sarcastically, as well as the mark of the Vermillion Bird flapping its wings vigorously between his eyebrows.
"Recognize me as your master." Xue Kong spoke softly and took a step forward.
His right foot just stepped forward.
The charred leg suddenly turned into ashes silently and disappeared in an instant, without leaving a trace.
Xue Kong was slightly stunned.
Before he could react, his other leg also turned into ashes and dissipated.
Next comes the body.
head.
facial features.
Until those dark and deep eyes disappeared before the Vermillion Bird Spirit.
Seeing this scene, the spirit of the Vermillion Bird showed a proud look of revenge in its eyes, and let out a loud roar towards the sky, revealing excitement and joy.
but.
However, it did not notice that the Vermillion Bird mark in the air where Xue Kong disappeared did not disappear.
The Vermillion Bird mark flapped its wings and flew high. Its body expanded visibly from a fingernail-sized mark to the same size as the Vermillion Bird spirit in the blink of an eye.
His body was covered in flames, and his aura was not inferior to that of the Vermillion Bird's spirit.
The spirit of Vermillion Bird was slightly stunned when it saw this scene.
Then he discovered to his horror that a terrifying suction force coming from the Suzaku Mark actually tore his body apart and merged it into the body of the Suzaku Mark.
The spirit of Suzaku was terrified and didn't understand why this happened.
Isn't that damn human dead?
Why does his Suzaku mark still exist and why does it absorb his own spirit?
The spirit of Suzaku does not know.
By stepping onto these thousand-layer stone steps, one will be qualified to take the trial of the Vermillion Bird. It is not the real ancient mythical beast Vermillion Bird, but just a created spirit.
It was originally used to reward those who stepped onto the thousand-layer stone steps.
At this moment, Xue Kong did this. His human cultivator's body was rejected by the altar and burned to ashes by the spirit of Vermillion Bird. Only the mark of Vermillion Bird remained to absorb the created spirit of Vermillion Bird.
