"It's been a long time since anyone challenged the sixth floor."
"The trial of the sixth floor is still the Five Elements Tribulation."
"The same trial, but the power of this tribulation… tsk tsk tsk."
"Three hundred years ago, someone also reached the sixth floor. Unfortunately, as soon as the tribulation began to manifest, he fell directly into the Golden Altar."
"To be honest, anyone who can set foot on the sixth floor is already an unparalleled genius. Li is still young, and as long as she hones herself well, she might just become the next person to clear all seven floors."
"That would be for the best. In another thousand years, our human race will surely produce another supreme power."
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Yujin looked at these uninvited guests with a hint of helplessness.
She couldn't help but say, "Are you worried I'll go back on my word? I've already promised to help guide the disciples, but at least wait until the Golden Altar trial is over."
Yujin looked at these people.
Why hadn't she noticed before that they were all so impatient?
"The teaching isn't urgent yet," a beautiful woman's figure slowly materialized. "It's just that we've been waiting for a newcomer for too long."
Behind the woman was a pair of unique wings.
This person was named Kong Qingluan: the only supreme power in the current era with ancient phoenix bloodline.
"The expansion of the Land of Heavenly Abyss is getting faster and faster. The five of us have been stationed there for a long time, but we're becoming increasingly overwhelmed," a man said calmly.
This person was named Xing Tiangang. He did not cultivate his Dantian or Nascent Soul; all his spiritual power entered his physical body. He was the only human expert in this era who reached the supreme realm through body refinement.
"If Li can truly reach our level, our pressure will be significantly reduced," an old man smiled.
Behind the old man, a compass floated.
This person was named Wuxiang, the only supreme power of the human race skilled in prophecy.
"Hopes are good. It's just that I'm a little worried we won't be able to hold on until the day she grows up," a woman extended her pale hand, a hint of sorrow in her eyes.
This person was named Ye Hongyao, the only supreme alchemist of her time.
Adding the City Lord Yujin.
These five people.
They were the strongest of the human race in this era.
This world harbored too many secrets, and many human geniuses were slowly growing under their protection.
But only they knew that the situation had deteriorated to an unspeakable degree.
The five of them… were also struggling to hold on.
Even if they couldn't hold on, they had to keep going.
They had to buy the human race more time to grow.
Yujin was silent for a moment, then said, "The demon race, are they still unwilling to cooperate?"
"It's more than just unwillingness to cooperate. The demon race and the Land of Heavenly Abyss are getting closer and closer; they might even completely defect to those demon seeds," Xing Tiangang's voice carried a hint of killing intent. "If that's the case, then we'll wipe out the demon race as well."
"It's not just the demon race. The human race itself is divided into righteous and demonic paths, constantly in conflict," Ye Hongyao sighed.
At their level, there was actually no longer a distinction between righteous and demonic paths.
What the human race called the demonic path was not the same as the demon seeds of the Land of Heavenly Abyss.
The demonic and righteous paths were basically determined by the attributes of their cultivation techniques.
Those who practiced ghost arts, netherworld arts, or blood fiend arts belonged to the demonic path.
Those who practiced the ancient, orthodox immortal cultivation methods belonged to the righteous path.
The cultivation speed of the demonic path was often faster than the righteous path, but their foundations were unstable, and the probability of encountering inner demon tribulations was higher.
Moreover, because demonic cultivation techniques sometimes involved strange things, cultivators of the demonic path often appeared more terrifying in the eyes of mortals.
"Where there are people, there is struggle," Yujin said calmly. "The conflict between righteous and demonic cannot be completely eliminated. It's good for these juniors to have some competitive spirit. However… if anyone dares to defect to the Land of Heavenly Abyss, then regardless of whether they are righteous or demonic, they will be killed without mercy."
Yujin spoke calmly, but in fact, her hands were already stained with the blood of too many traitors.
"If they can be found, then naturally they will be killed without mercy. However, demon seeds are formless and traceless; it's not so easy to find them one by one."
"Those high-level demon seeds, I'm afraid only the City Lord's True Eye can see their true forms. However, such a method is not easy for the City Lord to use."
"Damn demon seeds. Sooner or later, we'll destroy the entire Land of Heavenly Abyss."
The supreme powers of the human race casually discussed this term that ordinary people couldn't even utter.
But if one looked closely, they would find that no matter what they said, even Xing Tiangang, who was always advocating for war, had a deeply hidden worry in his eyes.
Others didn't know, but how could they not know?
These past years. The true bodies of the five supreme powers had been guarding the Land of Heavenly Abyss.
They had used all their strength, but the demon seeds in the Land of Heavenly Abyss were only increasing.
If there was no turning point, when they could no longer hold on, the extinction of the human race would be almost a foregone conclusion.
But they… none of them wanted to talk about it.
Perhaps.
Perhaps the human race still had hope?
"Look. The tribulation is beginning to manifest," Xing Tiangang showed an intrigued expression.
According to legend. The one who cleared the seven floors of the Divine Soul Golden Altar and ultimately achieved the supreme realm was him.
He relied on his incredibly powerful physical body to endure until the end, finally achieving the supreme realm.
The opportunities of the Divine Soul Golden Altar indeed helped him greatly in the early stages.
"Others don't know, but actually, clearing the sixth floor is equivalent to clearing the seventh floor. This is Li's final hurdle," Xing Tiangang said with a smile. "However, the Five Elements Tribulation is not so easy to pass."
A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Above the Golden Altar.
Li Shuang slowly opened her eyes.
These three days.
She had already experienced the intensity of this round of the Five Elements Tribulation.
It was indeed…
Extremely terrifying.
If her first trial in the Divine Soul Golden Altar had been here, Li Shuang felt that she probably wouldn't have lasted a few moments.
However.
After the trials of the previous floors.
Her gains were immense.
Two Five Elements Crystals, and repeated soul tempering.
All of this allowed her to endure longer on this floor.
At this stage.
Li Shuang decisively abandoned the method of cutting the source lines to pass.
On the fourth floor, it was already extremely difficult for her to cut the source lines.
On this floor, trying to use that method again would yield no chance of success.
Even if she were to gamble, she needed a certain degree of confidence.
Li Shuang could not participate in such a losing gamble.
Although, if she chose another method to pass, she wouldn't get the advanced Five Elements Crystal.
This was a huge loss.
However.
There was no need to dwell on things that were destined to be impossible.
Next.
What she had to do was to endure!
Endure the last few days.
Then she could step onto the final seventh floor.
Li Shuang looked up at the sky.
The seventh floor led directly to the top of the central pillar.
What was on the pillar?
No one knew.
But she wanted to…
See it with her own eyes.
