Chapter 132: That Kid Is Really Something
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.
|Whoosh|
The sound of an infernal roar filled the air as the flames of the Dao engulfed everything in their path.
It was as if the very essence of existence was being consumed by an unstoppable force.
"So, this is the Dao of fire, huh?"
As soon as Chen Tian set foot on the 90th step, his progress abruptly stopped, and the environment around him underwent a transformation.
Suddenly, he found himself in a realm entirely dominated by the immense force of the Fire Dao.
The air crackled with an intense heat, making it difficult for Chen Tian to even breathe.
The flames danced around him, twisting and turning in mesmerizing patterns.
He could feel the raw energy of the Dao pulsating through every fiber of his being, as if it was testing his resolve.
Indeed, the difference between the law and the Dao became strikingly clear at that moment.
The law, with its rigid structure and explicit boundaries, was like a well-defined path that one could follow without much deviation.
It was a man-made construct designed to maintain order, yet it often lacked the flexibility to adapt to the complexities of life.
On the other hand, the Dao was elusive, like a flowing river with no fixed course.
It covered the natural order of the universe and operated beyond human-imposed limitations.
The Dao didn't dictate specific actions or outcomes; rather, it encouraged one to align with its flow, to embrace change, and to find harmony in the midst of chaos.
As he stood there, feeling the pulsating energy, and the dao trying to suppress him, Chen Tian had to get serious.

Although this dao wasn't the genuine path and wasn't intended to inflict harm on him, it possessed formidable power that could easily overpower him if he lowered his defenses.
The environment surrounding him consisted entirely of flames, while the sky above displayed a profound crimson hue.
The heat was tangible, a palpable presence that seemed to emanate from the very core of the earth itself. Waves of scorching air rippled through the landscape, distorting the view beyond.
It was as if the entire realm had succumbed to the dominion of fire.
In this searing environment, the concept of conventional elements seemed to lose its familiarity.
The flame that surrounded everything was not merely a product of combustion, but a manifestation of raw, unbridled power.
It danced with an ethereal grace, defying the constraints of physics.
These were not ordinary flames; they were the embodiment of dao, an elemental force that held the universe in balance.
Here only the dao flame exists; anything else would be consumed, reduced to ash in an instant.
The intensity of the heat was overwhelming, searing the air and scorching any surface it touched.
"Good, then come at me," Chen Tian challenged, his eyes locked onto the hypnotic flames.
He knew that facing the Dao flame would test his limits, but he was determined to prove himself.
With unwavering resolve, Chen Tian stepped forward, ready to embrace the raw, unbridled power that the Dao flame represented.
"Why is he standing still?"
"Did he reach his limits?"
Among the participants, whispers of confusion and doubt spread through the crowd.
Nobody knew that Chen Tian Conscious wasn't here now and was facing the dao of fire on the 90th step.
His body was still standing in place. The only thing that changed was that Chen Tian had his eyes were shut.
"Chen Tian" Su Bingxin had a worried look on her face as she watched him from the sidelines.
She had already reached the 81st step on the ice staircase.
She had successfully ascended to the 81st step on the icy staircase.
Now, she needed to rely on her spiritual Qi to maintain her place, but that was the extent of her challenge.
Unlike the others who had to bear under the pressure of the ice law, Su Bingxin was stepping on every step without feeling burdened, as if the law of ice was helping her.
Seeing Chen Tian stop on the 90th step and close his eyes, Su Bingxin felt a pang of concern.
She knew that these stairs weren't easy to handle.
"Will he be okay?" Yin Yun also had a worried look on her face as she watched Chen Tian.
"Hehehe, you deserve it," Wang Hao thought to herself with a smirk.
He was happy to see Chen Tian struggle on the 90th step, as it meant that he was not as invincible as he thought.
Zou Yang's face remained devoid of any expression as he gazed at Chen Tian momentarily.
He then shifted his attention back to the task at hand, swiftly trying to complete the 83rd step.
"That kid is really something; see what I told you about him!" Long Wei spoke to Su Linhua in an excited tone.
Happiness filled his heart as he watched Chen Tian's step on the 90th step.
"Um, you're right." Su Linhua had to admit that Chen Tian's determination and strength were truly impressive.
Of all the people present here, only she and Long Wei could feel the extent of what was happening on the 90th step.
"To believe that kid is that daring to do that" Su Linhua couldn't help but admire Chen Tian's courage.
It was clear that he was not afraid to push his limits and take risks.
Long Wei nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with admiration for Chen Tian's bravery.
"Hahaha, I always felt that this kid was something else, and I was right; from his actions alone, I absolutely love him!" Long Wei exclaimed with a hearty laugh.
"Humph, of course you will love him; you and your dragon race love anything that showcases strength and force," Su Linhua retorted with a smirk.
"But I have to admit, this kid determination and fearlessness are truly commendable."
Her eyes fixated on Chen Tian's on the 90th step, almost as if her sight could see beyond the ordinary view.
In her vision, she perceived a scarlet realm engulfed in fire, with the sky adorned in a profound crimson shade.
There was a man who had his body filled with lightning, crackling, and pulsating with raw power.
Every step he took sent shockwaves through the ground, leaving trails of destruction in his wake.
It was as if he possessed the very essence of thunder itself.
The man was battling a beast resembling a wolf, but its body was fully made of flame.
Su Linhua couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration at the sight before her.
"Hahaha, Impressive right!
Cultivators will try and harness the power of Dao with a relaxed approach.
They go with the flow, observing their surroundings, and occasionally using their will to understand the dao.
This approach is more about patience and understanding, allowing the natural rhythm of the river to carry them forward.
But here with these kids, It's like trying to conquer the complexities of the Dao through sheer willpower, attempting to force insights and understanding at any cost.
Which I love it!"
Long Wei was fascinated by Chen Tian's approach.
Chen Tian, who was using the power of the lightning law on his body,
Attacked the wolf that was made of dao flame, his movements fluid and graceful.
The wolf tried to lunch on Chen Tian, but he effortlessly evaded its attack, effortlessly flowing with the rhythm of the battle.
The lightning on his body crackled and sparked.
Creating a lighting sword made of pure lighting energy that surrounded him.
With a speed that could be mistaken for teleportation, Chen Tian struck the wolf with lightning-fast precision.
The impact of his strike sent the wolf flying backward, its body engulfed in electrifying currents.
The lightning sword continued to pulsate with raw power, illuminating the battlefield with its blinding brilliance.
As the wolf struggled to regain its footing, Chen Tian seized the opportunity and unleashed a torrent of lightning bolts, obliterating the creature in a spectacular display of elemental mastery.
The moment the wolf was obliterated, Chen Tian opened his eyes.
For a moment, his eyes glinted a blue so intense that they seemed to mirror the electric energy that had just coursed through the battlefield.
"Huff." Taking a deep breath, Chen Tian finally stepped forward.
"What!! Don't tell me he's heading toward the 91st step!" A participant who continued to watch Chen Tian suddenly realized that Chen Tian moved again.
As Chen Tian remained stationary for an extended period, certain participants diverted their attention from him and proceeded with the test.
However, those who realized they had reached their limit continued to gaze intently at Chen Tian
"Are you kidding me!!"
His shout attracted the attention of everyone else on the staircase, be it the fire and ice test.
They turned their heads to see Chen Tian confidently striding towards the 91st step of the Fire Staircase.
Whispers of disbelief and awe filled the air as they witnessed this unprecedented feat.
