On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

"Perhaps I should've informed my aunt about extending my stay to five days instead of just three," he mused silently.

However, that option was no longer available, as he realized it was already too late.

With each step Chen Tian took during his climb, the pressure on the 81st step grew more intense.

Every single stride seemed akin to conquering a mountain, testing the boundaries of his physical and mental endurance.

Nevertheless, his resolve remained unwavering—he was resolute in his pursuit of reaching the top.

With every step he took, he sensed the force of the fire's law attempting to assert itself over his soul.

A typical cultivator would need to fight against this power with all their strength, but Chen Tian was far from an average cultivator.

Upon reaching the 81st step, he could sense the fiery energy of the law enveloping him, challenging his determination.

Yet, Chen Tian stayed concentrated, his resolve resolute.

"Tskk," he muttered quietly as he pressed on with his climb.

The intense heat and pressure seemed to be nothing more than a minor inconvenience to him.

"Dare to underestimate me with this kind of law's power. I wouldn't even flinch if it were the very essence of the dao," Chen Tian affirmed.

There was no way Chen Tian would permit a mere law to suppress his will.

Inside his thoughts, the lightning law surged, expanding through the space.

The law of lightning resonated with his consciousness, as if speaking a language only he could understand.

Chen Tian's eyes blazed with determination as he confronted the fire law.

|Zzzzz|

The force of the lightning law flowed within him, infusing vitality into his every action.

He sensed the unrefined energy pulsating through his being, granting him the capacity to surpass the constraints set by conventional law of fire.

Wearing a determined grin, Chen Tian moved forward, ready to embrace the forthcoming challenge.

Like an unstoppable force of nature, he kept advancing without showing any sign of hesitation.

Very quickly, Chen Tian had advanced to the 82nd step, edging closer to the 83rd step where Zou Yang struggled to control the power of the fire law.

"How can he do that!?" Yin Yun, who watched from behind, had shock on her face, her eyes widening as she witnessed Chen Tian's rapid progress.

The display of his strength and determination was nothing short of astonishing.

As Zhou Yang struggled with the immense power of the fire law on the 83rd step, his brow furrowed in concentration.

The flames writhed and surged around him, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he fought to maintain control.

Back where Yin Yun stood, her astonishment deepened into a mix of awe and disbelief.

She had fought with Chen Tian, and talked with him, and she thought she understood the extent of his abilities. But this swift and confident ascent was beyond anything she had anticipated.

The participants that were still attempting to ascend watched as Chen Tian advanced; they were equally taken aback.

"Is this guy really competing with Both of our sect's top ranked disciplines?"

"He's from a tiny continent, how amazing is his talent?"

"Didn't you see how he beat the sh*t out of Qiu Xufeng, one of the young generation geniuses from our sect? This Chen Tian is definitely not to be underestimated."

The onlookers couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and envy towards Chen Tian's extraordinary talent.

It was clear that he possessed an innate gift that surpassed even the most elite cultivators in their sect.

As he continued his ascent, the crowd held their breath, eager to witness just how far he could go.

Murmurs of amazement spread through the onlookers as they exchanged incredulous glances. It was clear that Chen Tian's progress was rewriting the expectations of everyone present.

"Damn it!"  Wang Hao, who was on the 55th step, didn't like what he was seeing.

Chen Tian's talent was undeniable; he remembered what he told the Immortal sect elder who came to observe the competition. "This kind of trash isn't worth the attention of all of you. I can suppress him with a flip of my hand."

Humiliation filled the air as Wang Hao realized that his arrogant words had come back to haunt him.

He had underestimated Chen Tian's abilities, and now he was paying the price.

The crowd watched in awe as Chen Tian effortlessly ascended the steps, each one seeming like a mere show for him.

Wang Hao gritted his teeth, knowing that he had greatly underestimated his opponent.

"Hm?"

Zou Yang turned his head to look back as he heard a sound coming from behind.

"Y-You, how?!" He was utterly surprised to witness someone achieving the same level as him.

However, his astonishment grew even more intense when he realized that the person was none other than Chen Tian.

Among all the individuals present who could rival him, Zou Yang believed that only Yin Yun had that capability.

However, standing before him was the person he considered worthless, hailing from the desolated continent.

Chen Tian remained silent, pressing forward to the next step.

What caught everyone off guard was his unrelenting speed; before they knew it, he had already ascended to the 84th step.

Continuing on, he reached the 85th and then the 87th step, his pace undeterred.

With remarkable ease, Chen Tian advanced to the 90th step.

The onlookers were astounded, unable to comprehend how someone they considered trash just moments ago could possess such talent.

Zou Yang's face turned pale as he realized that his previous assumptions about Chen Tian were completely wrong.

As Chen Tian reached the 90th step, his progress abruptly halted, his expression growing tense.

The onlookers assumed he had hit his limits and couldn't advance any further.

They were partially correct.

Upon stepping onto the 90th stair, the fire law's energy vanished, replaced by the force of Dao of fire.

The difference between the law and dao is like the difference between a flickering candle and a blazing inferno.

While the fire law was impressive, the power of Dao was on a whole different level.
