Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Since Gu Jianshan had arrived very early, no one stopped him and he managed to get within fifty feet of the mountain peak.

However, at that point, Gu Jianshan was on the brink of exhaustion.

Origin Energy around his body continuously crumbled apart and wounds started to appear on his physical body, causing blood to evaporate into the air.

Furthermore, Gu Jianshan had released his Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit. Under the intense pressure, it started to shiver uncontrollably.

Gu Jianshan’s state attracted the attention of everyone. After all, they could tell their maximum capability from judging Gu Jianshan.

“He wont be able to handle it!” Han Sheng coldly said. Getting within fifty feet of the mountain peak seemed to be Gu Jianshan’s maximum.

This standard was about what many Favored Ones could stand. Only the top few Favored Ones could get another ten or twenty feet from there.

“Indeed!” Gongsun jia sighed as well. He knew Gu Jianshan’s talents and ability clearly.

Gu Jianshan was about to crumble apart after fifty feet. The others would be at about the same standard.

Even if they managed to one-up Gu Jianshan, they would stop at forty feet.

Gongsun Jia sighed to himself. It seemed that Qin Yun might be the only one who could reach the peak of Sword Mountain, although this possibility was small as well.

Su Mo’s Chaotic Energy around his body crumbled apart continuously. However, this was not a big deal as it was a reaction from the Sword Radiance attack of the mountain within a hundred feet of the peak.

He managed to quickly stabilize his Chaotic Energy.

The Blood Force and Primordial Spirit were activated to their maximum capabilities. Under the additional power of these two energies, his defensive strength was at its maximum. Even the Sword Radiance from a hundred feet of the mountain would not be able to interrupt his defense easily.

Gu Jianshan had the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit and the Innate Divine Source Body. His talents were the considered high for a Favored One but he didn’t have the ability to reach the peak.

Tuoba Liuming and Yun Mu both wore serious looks. They were about ten feet behind Gu Jianshan and were also under immense pressure.

Terrifying Sword Radiance was like invisible sharp swords that continued to shoot out from beneath the Sword Mountain.

The protective Dark Force around the two was being continuously eroded. Yet, their Dark Forces were strong and they activated them to attain the maximum defense they could.

Their hearts sunk. The Sword Radiance from Sword Mountain was strong and Gu Jianshan’s failure in front of them had diminished their confidence.

However, the crowd seemed to have underestimated Gu Jianshan as his resilience and determination had exceeded all their estimations.

Despite being at the brink of his limit and with blood pouring out his wounds, Gu Jianshan did not stop. He remained rooted to his spot and determined to continue.

“Cant retreat! Not at all!”

Right at that point, Gu Jianshan’s eyes were bloodshot and he continuously muttered to himself.

Gritting his teeth tightly together, Gu Jianshan activated his Primordial Spirit and Blood Force continuously.

The Blood Force in his body roared like a dragon and became denser and thicker. He could still manage to pull through for a while longer.

Heaven did not let down those who worked hard and a short while later, Gu Jianshan managed to stabilize his body.

In another way of speaking, he had gotten used to the Sword Radiance from the mountain, barely managing to defend himself from the Radiance that threatened to destroy his body.

However, it was hard for Gu Jianshan to advance further. He stood at his spot and continued to stabilize himself.

Su Mo shook his head at the sight of Gu Jianshan. There was no reason for Gu Jianshan to remain in the same spot anymore.

There was no way for him to reach the peak and continuing to remain at Sword Mountain would be a waste of his efforts.

A few momnets later, Su Mo sighed out loud again and took another step forward.

His step was big, moving one foot at a time. Quickly, he got within a ninety foot distance from the peak.

Boom boom boom!

Powerful Sword Radiance from the mountain shot towards the sky and struck against Su Mo.

Explosions sounded unstoppably as Su Mo’s exterior Chaotic Energy was like a whirlpool that swirled around.

Sword Radiance tore through Su Mo’s defensive body painfully.

Although the Radiance from Sword Moutain grew stronger with each step, it was unable to break through Su Mo’s defense.

While the Chaotic Energy was torn through by the Radiance, Su Mo’s physical body was left unharmed. His body was like a tough metal that refused to budge.

Granted, Su Mo felt uncomfortable from the torment of the Radiance. Although his defense was strong, the Radiance mercilessly caused his body to shiver and his Blood Force to surge wildly.

Kaboom!

Small explosive sounds emerged from the top of the mountain. Su Mo, Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu, Han Sheng, Gongsun Jia and Gu Jianshan would take turns in encountering explosions from the Radiance attacks.

Gu Jianshan was the most unstable and he didn’t dare to head forward easily. Tuoba Liuming was about ten feet from Gu Jianshan and he had to maintain his composure as well before he took a step forward.

Yun Mu on the other hand, was sixty feet from the peak, lagging behind Tuoba Liuming by five feet but leading Su Mo by thirty feet.

Han Sheng and Gongsun Jia were further behind Su Mo by about ten or twenty feet.

Su Mo was in no rush to advance forward. At ninety feet from the peak, he wanted to let himself get accustomed to the Radiance of the mountain.

He could only prepare an appropriate defense if he got used to the attack, which would allow him to step forward confidently.

Kaboom!

Right at that moment, Tuoba Liuming took another step forward. He moved a foot forward and reached the fifty foot landmark of the peak.

By then, he was at the same point as Gu Jianshan. The degree of force from the Radiance was similar to Gu Jianshan’s.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Tuoba Liuming’s situation was similar to Gu Jianshan’s. The moment he got within fifty feet of the peak, the protective Dark Force began to crumble apart.

As the protective Dark Force was eroded, blood seeped from his body. Due to his insufficient defense, the Sword Radiance pierced Tuoba Liuming’s body.

Regardless of whether it was Gu Jianshan or Tuoba Liuming, they were both stuck at the fifty foot mark from the peak.

This peak of the mountain was like a stubborn pillar that refused to budge. The source of this content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

“Ah!”

Tuoba Liuming roared angrily. Origin Energy outside his body circulated like a tornado, keeping him securely within it.

His Primordial Spirit had been released earlier on and he activated the Primordial Spirit energy to its maximum.

While his Primordial Spirit was not strong, he had Triple Primordial Spirit.

The Triple Primordial Spirit he had was made up of the Sword Primordial Spirit, Wind Primordial Spirit and the Leapord Beast Primordial Spirit. Their combined forces made Tuoba LIuming’s overall Primordial Spirit energy strong.

Whizz!

Wind howled fiercely against the Radiance tormenting Tuoba Liuming’ body.
