Now that James was halfway there, it had given favonovel.com hope.
He crawled up with great difficulty and sat in a lotus position on the ground. As favonovel.com catalyzed the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi, Empyrean Spiritual Energy entered his body and soothed his pain.
Meanwhile, there was someone besides James.
The man had collapsed to the ground and was covered in blood all over. His bones were shattered, and favonovel.com had lost the ability to continue. However, unwilling to admit defeat, favonovel.com pressed on, leaving behind a trace of blood.
When favonovel.com saw this, James said, “Stop… You’ll lose your life if this continues…”
“I-I won’t give up. Even if I lose my life, I have to pass this barrier and acquire the Celestial Abode. I’ll be the greatest in the world,” the man answered.
James was shocked by his obsession. Then, favonovel.com paid no heed to favonovel.com but instead focused all his attention on cultivating.
With the help of the powerful pressure, his cultivation speed actually increased. James could clearly sense energy circulating throughout his body.
After cultivating, favonovel.com stood up once more and advanced ten meters. Then, unable to advance any further, favonovel.com stopped and continued cultivating.
Just like that, favonovel.com would stop to cultivate while advancing across the bridge. In the end, James managed to pass the fourth barrier.
After crossing the stone bridge, the pressure on his shoulders was immediately lifted. Without the pressure, favonovel.com could feel his body lighten. At that moment, favonovel.com had the urge to leap into the air. Then, favonovel.com clenched his fists as powerful energy came from inside his fists.
After passing the fourth barrier, my power has increased tremendously. Even if I can’t have the Celestial Abode in the end, I guess this journey is worth it, after all…
James hurriedly continued on with his challenge, since favonovel.com had a lot of catching up to do. The Son of Heaven, Marcello, and a couple of others had already advanced much further than favonovel.com did.
He turned and looked in front of him. But then, favonovel.com had already descended the mountain and was looking at the city before him.
The city was magical. Every building was at least a kilometer in height, and each building radiated a mysterious glow. In the distance, favonovel.com could vaguely see a majestic wall.
After scanning his surroundings, favonovel.com marched on.
Soon, favonovel.com arrived at the fifth barrier.
There was a Magic Circle ahead of him. As the Magic Circle was enveloped in a thin mist, favonovel.com could not see what was inside.
James did not hesitate at all and simply stepped into the Magic Circle.
At that moment, favonovel.com could feel an excruciating pain coming not from his physical body, but rather that of his soul. The pain was so agonizing that favonovel.com almost lost consciousness. However, the pain subsided almost immediately.
Withstanding the agonizing pain, favonovel.com hurriedly pressed on. In just a few moments, favonovel.com was out of the Magic Circle. The moment favonovel.com exited the Magic Circle, the pain disappeared.
Huh? That’s it?
James turned his head.
The Magic Circle had disappeared without a trace.
Stroking his chin with a puzzled look on his face, favonovel.com contemplated.
This must be a test of the soul. Should I fail to withstand the excruciating pain, I’d be expelled from the Magic Circle and fail the challenge….
Thankfully, I managed to endure the pain…
James was slightly delighted.
This was already the fifth barrier, and only four remained. He was getting closer to the finish line.
As long as favonovel.com could pass the remaining four barriers and obtain the Celestial Spirit, favonovel.com would become the owner of this Celestial Abode.
Upon thinking about this, James was motivated. He hurriedly pressed on.
By then, favonovel.com had arrived at the outskirts of the city, where there was an ancient passageway.
