From the 900th to the 950th step, a new batch of Gold Level warriors had emerged, mostly Gold High Stage to Gold Limit experts.
Above the 800th step, there were even more people now than before.
Soon, Su Yuan’s eyes showed a trace of surprise.
He had initially thought Huang Xiang would only be seen below the 700th, or even the 600th step.
But unexpectedly, he already saw the young man with blonde hair dragging his exhausted body, moving forward on the steps above the 800th step!
“He actually reached above the 800th step! And… already Gold Level?”
Initially, breaking through to Gold Level should have been something to celebrate, but Huang Xiang’s current state made Su Yuan frown in concern.
“This guy is risking his life…”
Huang Xiang’s head drooped powerlessly; his figure was in shambles, and his entire body was covered in blood scabs due to the pressure rupturing numerous blood vessels, staining his clothes red.
Boiling Blood had long been activated, but its healing effects had significantly diminished, barely suppressing additional injuries, and his Star Power exhaustion made it look like he wouldn’t last much longer.
Yet, despite this, Huang Xiang hadn’t stopped. Every so often, he dragged his slightly shaking body to take another step forward.
And with each step, parts of his wounds, which had scabbed under Boiling Blood’s effect, would split open again, spilling small amounts of blood.
Such a scene indicated that he could collapse from severe injury at any moment!
But Huang Xiang was miraculously maintaining this state, not only breaking through the 666th step but also reaching the current height!
On closer inspection, it could be seen that although both his physical strength and Star Power were nearly at their limits, there was a resilient and bright gleam in Huang Xiang’s eyes.
Huang Xiang’s gaze was firmly fixed on the deep blue shining steps underfoot, not caring about how many steps he had climbed, focusing solely on stepping up to the next one!
Although breaking through to Gold Level didn’t significantly restore his physical strength or Star Power, it had enhanced his pressure resistance and recovery abilities considerably. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted until now!
“This guy is already at the 820th step. I wonder how much longer he can hold on…”
While Su Yuan watched Huang Xiang, a sudden intense fluctuation of Star Power came from Seth’s direction.
“Is he really breaking through?” Su Yuan’s pupils contracted as he stepped back to increase the distance.
In a mere moment, centered around Seth, surging light element Star Power rose like a tide, shooting hundreds of meters high!
Accompanied by a powerful pressure of Star Power, a giant of light clad in golden armor emerged from the roaring tide of Star Power, majestic and imposing.
The aura around Seth rapidly ascended as if shot by a rocket, quickly surpassing the Gold Level by an unknown margin!
Soon after, Seth’s aura stabilized, and the light giant along with the roaring tide of Star Power was retracted into his body.
Seth opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly, with his essence, qi, and spirit restored to peak condition in an instant.
“Shining Star!!”
Seth’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy, as he excitedly clenched his fists.
On this trip, he only came south with Kleken and others to take a look. Who would’ve thought they’d encounter the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder?
Originally, he had expected that it would take at least another year and a half to have the chance to break through to Shining Star Level, but now, he had naturally broken through?!
It felt like a dream!
However, cultivation was inherently unpredictable, reliant on talent, opportunity, luck…
And now, it seemed his luck wasn’t too bad.
Shining Star Level… Shining Star Level!
That was a completely different tier.
“Congratulations, Seth,” Su Yuan offered his wishes.
“Haha, thanks,” Seth laughed heartily.
Even though he had now become a Shining Star warrior, Seth didn’t underestimate Su Yuan.
Seth understood that, even if it was just for a moment, Su Yuan’s aura in his Purple Flame Burning Body state was certainly capable of contending with Shining Stars.
Now that Su Yuan had reached Gold Limit, he was undoubtedly closer to Shining Star. For a short period, he was virtually equivalent to a Shining Star warrior.
Seth glanced at the teleportation portal behind him and asked, “Su Yuan, aren’t you going up?”
Su Yuan shook his head and looked towards Luo Bingtong, who was charging up step by step not far below.
Before his breakthrough, Seth had no time to notice others.
Now, breaking through just a moment earlier, Seth followed Su Yuan’s gaze and saw Luo Bingtong in her Ice Soul Transformation. He was instantly shocked.
“This little girl, she’s as much a monster as Su Yuan!”
Seth’s expression changed slightly, surprised that the young girl following Su Yuan was also such a prodigy, clearly appearing much younger than Aria.
