Chapter 1259 Thirteen Steps Under the Amaterasu Monument
The unrestrained figure walked into a beam of divine light under the gaze of countless people. Everyone's heart tensed up, staring at the figure in the divine light, not daring to miss any details.
The Amaterasu Monument is a divine object. The divine light has the effect of tempering the body and soul, but it is not something that ordinary people can bear. Can Qu Xuefeng withstand it?
Qin Xuan also looked at Qu Xuefeng, waiting for the next change.
In the divine light, Qu Xuefeng's face showed a solemn look. Although he had acted very casual and unrestrained before, he really stepped into the divine light and felt the horror of the Amaterasu Monument. The power of the holy object was much stronger than he imagined.
At this moment, he felt that he was in a chaotic space, and endless brilliant light flowed on his body, as if it contained a terrible repressive force, trying to crush him. At the same time, an extremely powerful mental vortex swept through his mind, tearing everything apart, and his soul trembled fiercely, as if it was about to be broken.
On the high platform, the crowd saw Qu Xuefeng's body stiffened there, stagnant, and their eyes showed a hint of confusion. What happened to him?
"The Amaterasu Monument has spirits, and can sense the cultivation of people who step into the divine light. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the power will be. Xuefeng has the cultivation of the emperor level, so he must naturally bear the pressure of the emperor level." The Dragon Lord looked at Qu Xuefeng's figure and spoke slowly, his face seemed very calm, as if he had expected this.
If all people who step into the divine light bear the same level of pressure, then what is the point of testing?
The higher the cultivation, the stronger the body and soul will naturally be. Of course, only under stronger oppression can one's own talents and potential be reflected.
"In ancient books, it is said that one can step thirteen steps under the Amaterasu Monument. Those who can take more than three steps can be called first-class geniuses and will enter the realm of emperors. Those who can take seven steps are top geniuses and will achieve extraordinary success in the future. Those who can take more than ten steps are considered to be evil and have the hope of becoming a saint."
An old marquis smiled and spoke, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. Qu Xuefeng, as one of the twelve marquis lords and the leader of the young generation of the dragon clan, wondered how many steps he could take.
"Yes, when I stepped on the Amaterasu Monument in the imperial realm, I only took eleven steps." The Dragon Lord nodded. He also stepped on the Amaterasu Monument and took eleven steps. Now he has stood at the top of the Tianxuan Nine Realms, looking down on the crowd.
Hearing the words of the Dragon Lord, many young people looked more aggressive, and the blood flowing in their bodies seemed to boil. Even the Dragon Lord had stepped on the Amaterasu Monument, and took eleven steps. This immediately ignited their enthusiasm and encouraged them.
As strong as the Dragon Lord, he had done similar things with them.
Now, they seemed to be walking the path that the Dragon Lord had walked before, feeling both expectant and nervous. If they could perform exceptionally well under the Amaterasu Monument, would it mean that they would have extraordinary achievements in the future?
At this moment, Qu Xuefeng in the divine light gradually straightened up, as if he was used to the pressure. He raised his feet and took a step forward.
This step seemed to be no different from an ordinary stroll, but it was extremely difficult. The veins on Qu Xuefeng's face emerged, and his legs seemed to bear a thousand pounds of force and could hardly move.
But in the end, he still took a step forward.
"The first step!" A voice sounded in the hearts of the crowd, with excitement flashing in their eyes. There were only two steps left, and Qu Xuefeng could prove his name as a genius.
"Roar!"
Qu Xuefeng looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, like the sound of a dragon's roar. A dragon-shaped shadow faintly appeared behind him. In an instant, boundless light shone on Qu Xuefeng's body, as if a dragon had descended to the world, majestic and incomparable.
"Bang, bang."
Two heavy footsteps sounded in succession, and Qu Xuefeng took two steps in succession. The hearts of the crowd also trembled, and their eyes were filled with incomparable shock.
Qu Xuefeng had taken three steps, and under the Amaterasu Monument, he proved that he had the demeanor of a genius.
But he had not stopped yet, as if this was not his end, and he had not reached his real limit.
Obviously, Qu Xuefeng also knew that this opportunity was extremely rare, and he must burst out all his potential. He also wanted to see how far he could go.
When Qu Xuefeng took the fourth step, lightning flashed out from the divine light, and the terrifying repressive force descended. The thunderous sound echoed in the space, and the lightning cut Qu Xuefeng's body like a sharp blade, and the bright red blood flew out, dyeing the void red, making countless people look horrified.
"So terrible!" Countless people's hearts shook violently, and their breathing almost stagnated. Is the fourth step so difficult?
Even someone as strong as Qu Xuefeng seemed unable to withstand such power.
"Dragon Lord, how far do you think Xuefeng can go?" Cao Zhao looked at the Dragon Lord on the supreme throne and asked.
The Dragon Lord fixed his eyes and said, "Judging from Xuefeng's current condition, he has a chance to take seven steps, but I don't know if he can bear it."
"He has a chance to take seven steps." A ray of light flashed in Cao Zhao's eyes. It seems that the Dragon Lord has high expectations for Qu Xuefeng and thinks that Qu Xuefeng has a chance to take seven steps.
Others also heard the Dragon Lord's evaluation of Qu Xuefeng, and their hearts trembled slightly. Qu Xuefeng's fourth step was already so difficult, and there were still three steps, each one more difficult than the last. Can he really take seven steps?
At this time, Qu Xuefeng was covered in blood. After taking the fourth step, his clothes were all torn apart. He did not have the same unrestrained temperament as before, but his aura was extremely strong, and the majesty of the emperor level was fully revealed.
Boundless demonic energy raged out, swaying upwards, turning into a terrifying demonic dragon hovering in the sky. The mighty dragon's power enveloped the endless area, making many people tremble and summon the dragon body.
"So strong." Qin Xuan stared at Qu Xuefeng's figure and felt a wave of emotion in his heart. The fact that Qu Xuefeng walked so hard does not mean that he is weak, but that the Amaterasu Monument is too strong.
If it were other people in the same situation, they might not be able to do this.
Qin Xuan couldn't help thinking at this time, this Amaterasu Monument is so terrifying that even the emperor-level experts are greatly restricted. If this holy weapon is used in battle, what kind of powerful power will it cause?
I am afraid that even the saints would be unable to withstand a few blows from the Amaterasu Monument.
Of course, not all holy weapons possess such powerful power. The Amaterasu Monument is an ancient thing that has been passed down to this day and cannot be compared with ordinary holy weapons.
The Dragon Clan has the Amaterasu Monument at its head, which is enough to ensure its dominance. Except for the Phoenix Clan, the Golden Winged Dapeng Clan and other equally ancient races, no other race can shake its position.
At this moment, everyone is staring at the figure struggling to move forward in the divine light. Is this the style of the Twelve Lords of their Dragon Clan?
Just hearing a dragon roar, the demon dragon hovering in the sky swooped down, carrying the mighty dragon power and rushing into the divine light. In an instant, it seemed like countless dragon claws smashed out, covering the space, heading towards the end. The Amaterasu Monument above was bombarded.
"What is he going to do?" The crowd's expressions changed when they saw this scene, and their hearts trembled.
The Dragon Lord's expression also showed a sharp edge. What a Qu Xuefeng, so courageous. He dared to directly attack the Amaterasu Monument. He was worthy of being a descendant of his Dragon Clan!
Countless dragon claw phantoms rushed towards the Amaterasu Monument and withstood a lot of pressure from the divine light. At this time, Qu Xuefeng's aura was surging and he took two more steps. The spiritual energy in the surrounding space roared, as if roaring. Qu Xuefeng's expression Sharp as a sword, I want to keep moving forward.
However, when he took the seventh step, the Amaterasu Monument seemed to sense something and shot out a bright divine light. The divine light was extremely fast and instantly spanned the endless space and struck Qu Xuefeng's body.
"Pfft." Qu Xuefeng's body trembled suddenly, as if he was overwhelmed, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and his body flew out directly.
A trace of regret flashed in the Dragon Lord's eyes, and he waved his palm, and an invisible power of the avenue swept out, stabilizing Qu Xuefeng's body.
"It's a pity. We are only one step away from becoming one of the top geniuses." Many people sighed in their hearts, with a bit of sadness flashing in their eyes. Qu Xuefeng was a magnificent figure in their dragon clan and was named the Twelve Lords. , but couldn't take seven steps. Is there anyone stronger than him?
Could it be that there are no top geniuses in their dragon clan?
Many people looked at the Amaterasu Monument in the sky, and they couldn't help but have a suspicion in their hearts. Can this Amaterasu Monument really test talent?
Qu Xuefeng's face was pale, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth. He raised his head and looked at the Amaterasu Monument, but a bright light flashed in his eyes. In the Amaterasu Monument, he reached his limit and gained great success. The good thing is that now he feels that his body is much stronger than before, as if he has undergone a transformation.
If he could do it again, he believed he could go further.
"It's already very good." A voice of approval came. Qu Xuefeng turned his eyes and saw the Dragon Lord smiling and said: "The thirteen steps under the Amaterasu Monument are used to measure the talents of warriors in ancient times. They are not applicable. In this era, if you can take only six steps, you will be at the top level in the Tianxuan Nine Realms, and there is no need to doubt your talent."
"That's it." Qu Xuefeng's eyes suddenly brightened a little. He was originally a little disappointed because he couldn't take seven steps, but now he was finally relieved.
Seven steps, that is the level of the top geniuses in ancient times. Times have changed and the physiques of warriors have changed, so the standards are naturally different.
"Go down and rest." Dragon Lord waved his hand.
"Yes." Qu Xuefeng bowed, then turned around and returned to his seat, but his mood was still ups and downs. This time he tried the Amaterasu Monument, which can be regarded as revealing his talent. There are still many shortcomings, and he needs to practice harder in the future. Just fine.
The crowd's eyes moved away from Qu Xuefeng and looked at the people beside him, the Twelve Lords, and many others who had not tried. I wonder if they would stand up.
"Let's try it together." A loud voice came out, and it was a young man in blue robe who spoke. This person's name is Bian Jun. He is also one of the twelve noble lords. He is at the emperor level and has the same strength as Qu Xuefeng. Up and down.
