Eight hundred and ninety-nine floors...
In the blink of an eye, Xue Kong had reached such a height.
Only one step away from possessing 90% of the power of Suzaku.
He only needs to take one more step, and basically all the fire in the world will be under his control and will never be able to hurt him again.
Even if he couldn't take this step, he still possessed 80% of the power of the Vermillion Bird, enough to ignore most of the flames.
But Xue Kong did not give up.
He practiced Taoism all his life, seeking only immortality.
The Demon Blood Treasure Record gave him the hope of immortality, and now, the power of the Vermillion Bird can control any fire in the world, and he is determined to obtain it.
With a look of strong determination in his eyes, Xue Kong raised his foot and stood on the 900th stone step.
boom!
At this moment, it seemed as if the heaven and earth were roaring.
The temperature of the raging fire reached a terrifying level. Even Xue Kong's Heavenly Demon War Body could not withstand the burning of the fire.
The skin was burnt black, emitting heat and billowing white smoke.
A burnt smell spread.
The feeling of being a mortal in a raging fire, being burned alive, emerged in Xue Kong's mind, making him feel as if he had returned to the time when he was still a mortal, that feeling of helplessness.
"I've only been practicing for fifty years, but I'm already a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. With the magic weapons and spells I possess, I can even fight against a late-Nascent Soul cultivator..."
"How could I fall like this!"
"I want to walk up the thousandth stone staircase and take the complete power of the Vermillion Bird!"
With this strong belief in his heart, Xue Kong raised his feet again and walked on the stone steps step by step.
At this height, he could no longer move forward as he wished.
Every time he walked up a stone step, he would stop to take a deep breath and wait for the terrifying recovery ability of the Heavenly Demon War Body to heal his injuries.
Only when things get better can we continue to move forward.
The passage of time seemed to disappear in Xue Kong's mind all of a sudden.
All he could see were the stone steps in front of him, staring intently at the thousand-story height as he continued to move upwards.
Between the eyebrows, the Vermillion Bird mark was red, and there was even a flame burning on the mark.
The Vermilion Bird seemed to come alive and flapped its wings and flew away.
The raging fires all around would occasionally merge into the Vermillion Bird mark.
It is precisely because of its existence that Xue Kong has been able to reach this moment. Otherwise, even with the powerful recovery ability of his Heavenly Demon Battle Body, he might not be able to withstand it at the 600th level and turn into ashes.
Nine hundred and twenty-third floor...
Xue Kong's mind was completely empty, and he no longer thought about anything. The only thought in his mind was to move forward, to the highest point.
Walk until there is no more way to go.
Nine hundred and forty-nine floors...
Xue Kong didn't know how long he had stayed in this space, but he didn't care at all. Even if it took longer, he was willing to do it.
Nine hundred and seventy-first floor...
At this height, even if Xue Kong possessed the Heavenly Demon Battle Body and 90% of the power of the Vermillion Bird, he could not bear it.
His charred body began to tremble violently.
The excruciating pain of the flames burning his body was unbearable even for his concentration.
He took deep breaths but did not stop or give up.
Still continue to move upward.
The magic patterns on the body of the Heavenly Demon War Body twisted wildly, as if it could not withstand the fire of the Vermillion Bird and seemed to be disappearing.
Nine hundred and ninety floors...
Finally, Xue Kong reached the limit of his ability and stood on the 990th floor.
There are only ten stone steps left to unleash the full power of the Vermillion Bird.
But the power of these ten stone steps is more terrifying than the nine hundred and ninety steps.
Just standing here, Xue Kong looked at the 991 stone steps in front of him, and he could no longer see the road ahead. The void was distorted by the flames.
His vision was obstructed.
"If I take another step forward, even with the recovery ability of the Heavenly Demon Battle Body, my body will turn into ashes in an instant..." Xue Kong had no doubt about his guess.
No matter how strong the recovery ability of the Heavenly Demon's body is, it still takes time.
If the body is burned in an instant, it cannot be restored.
"Are we going to give up just like that..." Xue Kong felt very unwilling.
But he practiced Taoism all his life just to seek immortality. Knowing that he would die, how could he rush into the fire?
Even if he gave up at this point, he would still possess 90% of the power of the Vermillion Bird, which was not a loss.
He looked at the 991 stone steps in front of him and fell into a long silence.
"No! I want to move forward!"
Xue Kong suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing strong determination.
He improved his cultivation and took out the snake demon pill from his storage bag and held it in his palm.
"This demon pill from an ancient demon beast in the Nascent Soul stage contains the Qiong Snake's lifelong cultivation. Even if it can't condense precious blood, it still has demonic power!"
With a bang, the snake demon pill was crushed by Xue Kong and turned into infinite demonic power, spreading on the stone steps.
But as Xue Kong activated the Demon Blood Treasure Record, the infinite demonic power instantly merged into his charred body and entered his body.
It transformed into a strange power, nourishing his body.
If it were any other time, even if Xue Kong had practiced the Demon Blood Treasure Record, he was still a human cultivator in essence. If he absorbed the demonic power from the Qiong Snake Demon Pill, he would definitely suffer the backlash.
Not only will it be of no benefit, it will also cause harm.
However, his body was burned to charcoal by the raging fire here, only his internal Dantian and Yuanying were intact. This demonic power became his means of resisting the raging fire here.
Xue Kong took another step forward and walked onto the 991st stone step.
boom!
The heaven and earth suddenly shook, and the flames turned into endless spirits, rushing straight towards Xue Kong, biting his body madly, wanting to devour him completely.
But the red Vermillion Bird mark between Xue Kong's eyebrows suddenly flashed.
