Chapter 857: Chapter 857

Listening to Emperor Jade's words, Lin Fan gritted his teeth.

Only someone like Lin Fan, with such a special physique and astonishing recovery speed, dared to temper his body this way!

An average person would have long been dead beyond recognition!

Lin Fan's body was like steel, being crushed and reformed each time!

It's akin to steel being tempered a hundred times versus ten thousand times in a furnace. Although both are steel, the final hardness is completely different.

Weapons forged from steel tempered a hundred times are absolutely not as strong as those forged from steel tempered ten thousand times!

"Great! Then I'll give it a try!" Lin Fan nodded fiercely, resolute in his eyes.

Lin Fan stepped forward!

"Crack... crack... crack..."

Another burst of massive sounds came from within, bones shattering, organs bursting!

Lin Fan bit his teeth and persevered, not collapsing, quietly waiting ten breaths for the internal injuries to heal, then continued forward...

Ling Jian, Gu Tong, Feng Yu, and Huangfu Ru were crazily climbing, and soon, Ling Jian was about to reach the twentieth layer!

Ling Jian reached the twentieth layer, nearly exhausted, drenched in sweat, his face turned extraordinarily pale!

The shadow of Kunwu Heavenly Venerate appeared.

Ling Jian, without hesitation, chose to inherit twenty percent of Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's inheritance.

Two rays of light simultaneously fell on Ling Jian, and Ling Jian's cultivation skyrocketed!

Ninth Rank Saint Emperor, promotion!

Ninth Rank Saint Emperor peak, promotion!

Another surge of terrifying Supreme aura came rushing forward!

"Damn! This is so enviable!"

The crowd below, upon witnessing this scene, were so excited their eyes nearly popped out, although they were not the ones becoming Supremes, seeing a young Supreme grow again, who wouldn't be excited? Who wouldn't be thrilled!

Gu Tong ascended to the twentieth layer of the Heavenly Palace, choosing the same as Ling Jian, inheriting twenty percent of Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's inheritance!

Soon, Gu Tong's aura drastically changed, becoming Supreme!

Huangfu Ru became Supreme!

Following that was Feng Yu, also becoming Supreme!

Four people in succession, right in front of the crowd, their cultivation soared by a Great Realm, becoming young Supremes, making everyone present stare wide-eyed, their eyes burning with intensity!

Looking at Lin Fan again, he was still thirty steps away from the First Layer of the Heavenly Palace, halted at the seventieth step.

Meanwhile, Linglong finally climbed to the tenth layer of the Heavenly Palace!

"Trash is trash! They've become Supremes, yet Lin Fan hasn't even climbed the First Layer of the Heavenly Palace!" People coldly sneered, all shaking their heads. Though they couldn't become Supremes, mocking Lin Fan had become their way of amusement.

It was at this moment.

Jian Wushuang suddenly opened his eyes, slowly rising, with a terrifying Supreme aura sweeping forth.

After Jian Wushuang awoke, without any hesitation, he directly jumped off from the twentieth layer of the Heavenly Palace.

Amidst countless amazed gazes, he walked back onto the steps!

Witnessing this, everyone froze!

"Yeah! What's going on?"

"Didn't Young Master Jian already receive Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's inheritance? Why go back?"

Those watching below the Heavenly Palace were puzzled.

"I figured it out! Kunwu Heavenly Venerate explained at the start that everyone has three chances to challenge the Heavenly Palace's steps, so logically, even though Young Master Jian succeeded and climbed the twentieth step, he only challenged the Heavenly Palace steps once, meaning he still has two more chances! It's not just Young Master Jian, we've all climbed the steps once, meaning we all still have second and third chances!" Nie Shuang's eyes brightened.

"There's such a rule?" Gao Qing and Matthew exchanged glances.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's continue climbing the steps!" Others woke up too, scrambling to climb the steps.

This time nobody went in pairs, each went solo, to avoid being punished by Kunwu Heavenly Venerate again.

On the second climb, Jian Wushuang's speed was lightning fast; in just ten breaths, he reached the seventy-first step below the First Layer of the Heavenly Palace, stopping beside Lin Fan.

"Ha ha! Lin Fan, how unexpected, I've already reached Supreme Cultivation! Yet you are still a waste! But, I'm no longer interested in dealing with you. After finishing my remaining two climbs, I want to see where you can reach!" Jian Wushuang chuckled meaningfully at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't even bother acknowledging Jian Wushuang and stepped onto the seventy-first step.

"Ha ha! No reply? Fine! Then keep crawling like a snail, slowly climbing!" Jian Wushuang sneered, shaking his head.

Stepping forward, he unexpectedly skipped three steps.

In a mere breath, he reached the First Layer of the Heavenly Palace!

However, Jian Wushuang didn't stop, continuing his ascent.

Others on their second climb had also stepped onto the steps.

The first group of climbers gradually caught up to Lin Fan, disdainfully glanced at Lin Fan, then overtook him.

Gradually, dozens of people had already overtaken Lin Fan!

Over a hundred people surpassed Lin Fan...

Nearly three hundred people directly overtook Lin Fan, reaching the First Layer of the Heavenly Palace.

While Lin Fan remained on the ninety-seventh step.

Even the Fuyao Palace disciples, Gao Qing, Matthew, Gongsun Yuan on their second climb directly overtook Lin Fan, reaching the First Layer of the Heavenly Palace.

On the second climb, people found it much easier than the first time, as though their potential had been awakened!

Some had already reached the second layer of the Heavenly Palace, the third layer, the fifth layer, the seventh layer...

Those who broke the rules and were demoted three minor realms by Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's shadow all regained their cultivation, with an increase of one or two minor realms!

Everyone was extremely excited!

"Ha ha ha! My cultivation is back!"

"Damn! Kunwu Heavenly Venerate is so kind!"

"Yes! There's still a chance, let's climb the third time! I don't expect to enter the Supreme Realm, just reaching Ninth Rank Saint Emperor will do!"

"Right! I don't aim for Supreme, reaching Ninth Rank Saint Emperor is good enough!"

Many people's eyes burned bright, throats dry, trembling with excitement.

A cultivation at Ninth Rank Saint Emperor was something they previously dared not even dream of.

But now, there's a chance it could become reality, who wouldn't be excited?

Looking at Lin Fan again... heh... that waste, still stuck on the ninety-ninth step, yet to reach the First Layer of the Heavenly Palace!

They didn't notice Lin Fan's speed had already improved by one breath compared to the start.

Lin Fan's organs and bones, after ninety-nine times of collapse and reformation, his body's recovery speed also increased by one breath; initially, Lin Fan needed ten breaths to fully recover after his organs and bones shattered.

When Lin Fan reached the First Layer of the Heavenly Palace, his bones and organs would take only nine breaths to go from complete collapse to reformation.

It's just one breath ahead!

But, it's a qualitative leap!
