Mad God Evolution-Chapter 1651 - 1541: Harm Others, Harm Yourself

Second Stage?

Sky-ascending Ladder?

All the Venerable Sages were slightly intrigued and turned their gaze towards the virtual image of Haoyang Divine Sovereign above, with a trace of exploration.

"The test of Ascending God Gate is foundational; the test of the Sky-ascending Ladder is perseverance. The road to seeking God is arduous and long; without unparalleled perseverance, it’s impossible to succeed. Every step on the ladder increases the difficulty tenfold. Only upon reaching the sixtieth level does one pass, allowing entrance to the third stage. Of course, after reaching the sixtieth level of the ladder, you may choose to continue ascending. Every step promises an opportunity, with rewarding prizes..."

Haoyang Divine Sovereign said calmly, yet his words stirred a sense of rivalry among the Venerable Sages, all thinking of further ascending after registering at the sixtieth level.

At this moment, Lv Zhong looked deeply at the virtual image of Haoyang Divine Sovereign above and said: "Divine Sovereign, it seems I am not yet a Venerable Sage; is there any discount for those like me at Level 7 Sage on this Sky-ascending Ladder?"

The array of Venerable Sages rolled their eyes.

This Lv Zhong really knows how to seize opportunities.

He still dares to ask for benefits?

"Damn, can Lv Zhong be considered an ordinary Level 7 Sage? He has a record of killing Level 9 Venerable Sages..."

"That’s the guarantee for his insane strength! Awesome..."

"Indeed, Lv Zhong himself is only at a realm comparable to the Seventh-order Peak Sage. However, his soul realm has already reached the level of a Level 8 Venerable Sage. Moreover, with the Tao-Grade weapon at his disposal, his combat power is stronger than the average Level 9 Lower Stage Venerable Sage. And he wants a discount?"

...

As soon as Lv Zhong spoke, numerous Venerable Sages grew dissatisfied.

At this time, a voice suddenly rang out: "We have no objection to Lv Zhong getting a discount, but his Tao Artifact must be restricted. This means during the challenge of the Second Stage, Lv Zhong can only rely on his own strength. Otherwise, it would be unfair to everyone..."

Wow!

As these words were spoken, countless Venerable Sages’ eyes flashed with brilliance. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

"Right! That’s reasonable!"

"Haha, not bad! Fair! We need fairness!"

"Lv Zhong must rely on his own strength for the trial, or else it’s too unfair..."

...

For a moment, countless Venerable Sages began to clamor.

Whenever it concerns their own interests, even Venerable Sages can be quite petty.

Moreover, these are interests within Haoyang Divine Palace. Most Venerable Sages wouldn’t want Lv Zhong to gain more benefits.

Seeing these circumstances, Master Hongjun, Lotus Master, and Sword Ancestor all changed their expressions, looking at Lv Zhong with concern.

"Little Zhong, perhaps you shouldn’t think about getting more benefits. The Tao Artifact as your accompaniment is your greatest reliance." Lotus Master secretly transmitted, persuading him.

Master Hongjun also nodded repeatedly: "Right, what Lotus Master said is very correct. Little one, don’t add unnecessary baggage."

But Lv Zhong’s gaze deeply looked in one direction, then a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, before he turned his head, laughing freely: "No problem. I also want to see how strong my own abilities are, without using the Tao Artifact. Haha..."

Arrogant!

Brash!

Unaware of discretion!

Many Venerable Sages looked at Lv Zhong with a hint of lightness or disdain.

In their view, Lv Zhong’s cultivation talent was indeed decent.

However, such brash, arrogant personality surely wouldn’t lead him far.

No reliance on Tao Artifact?

On what basis can a mere Level 7 Sage compete with Venerable Sage-level experts?

"Haha, if that’s the case, then I’ll set a restriction at the Sky-ascending Ladder so that all divine artifacts and Tao-Grade magical treasures will automatically be shielded and suppressed. No, this is still unfair. How about this, all magical treasures cannot be used..."

Haoyang Divine Sovereign’s words suddenly made countless Venerable Sages’ faces change dramatically!

Indeed!

Inciting isn’t right!

Scheming isn’t right!

This time, attempting to undermine Lv Zhong has likewise undermined all Venerable Sages.

No use of any magical treasures or weapons means that even the strength of the Venerable Sages would be greatly suppressed.

"Damn it, whose... whose idiotic suggestion was this? It harms others, and itself too!"

"Yes, this is dreadful now..."

"Shit, a group of fools. Why does Lv Zhong’s Tao Artifact concern you? Don’t you have top-notch magical treasures?"

"Half of my skills rely on my appointed magical treasure. Now, if my appointed magical treasure can’t be used, I fear I can only exert fifty percent of my strength..."

...

Earlier, everybody was quite pleased to see someone undermine Lv Zhong.

But now, thinking they themselves are also undermined, everyone was filled with frustration and irritation.

Haoyang Divine Sovereign had no time to care about these thoughts of the Venerable Sages, as his right hand in the virtual image waved. The entire central area of the Sky-ascending Pyramid emitted bright light, countless extraordinarily mysterious dynamic energy divine runes were pressed into the pyramid.

Obviously, these divine runes weren’t simple, specifically set to suppress everyone’s magical treasures and weapons.

"Buzz Buzz Buzz..."

As Haoyang Divine Sovereign completed his formation setting, an invisible energy field formed on the pyramid, radiating towards the surroundings.

Indeed!

With many Venerable Sages intending to try, they realized they could no longer summon their in-body magical treasures and weapons.

It seemed as if any level of magical treasures and weapons fell into slumber.

"Indeed, now we’ll have to toil a hundred times more..."

"I confess, it’s over..."

"Harming others and oneself; who was the first to voice against Lv Zhong? Speak up, I guarantee you won’t be killed—"

...

More and more Venerable Sages found they could no longer communicate with their own magical treasures and weapons, feeling both furious and angry. They almost wanted to kill the one who originally voice plotted against Lv Zhong.

Because many Venerable Sages realized that in the situation where they could not use weapons and magical treasures, the chance of successfully passing this Second Stage fell more than half.

Moreover, the dangers everyone would face would also multiply.

"Master, what... what’s happening?"

The newly arrived Heavenly Teacher Master was stunned and curiously asked Master Hongjun.

"Hmm? Did Tongtian also pass the Ascending God Gate at the Venerable Sage level?" Lotus Master discovered Heavenly Teacher Master also came, with a face of shock.

Sword Ancestor was also slightly moved, knowing the power of the 8th Rank Middle Stage Fire Qilin guarding the gate, and primarily, after entering the Light Gate at the First Stage, the attacks of nine waves of high-temperature blazing fire were absolutely strong.

Logically, with the strength at Level 7 Lower Stage Sage realm, it should be impossible for Heavenly Teacher Master to pass the Ascending God Gate at Venerable Sage level.

However, he actually succeeded. Doesn’t this mean that Heavenly Teacher Master obtained at least 100 portions of Divine Light?

Thinking of this, Sword Ancestor was overwhelmingly moved. Then Lotus Master, Knife Master, Hei Tian Demon Sovereign, Master Hongjun, and other numerous Venerable Sages’ expressions instantly changed.

Obviously, everyone thought of this possibility.

And more top-tier Venerable Sages’ gaze ultimately fell on Master Hongjun.

Too amazing!

Having a Lv Zhong, who surpassed levels to pass, was not enough; there’s actually another Heavenly Teacher Master who succeeded in passing the Ascending God Gate at Venerable Sage level?

This... Master Hongjun’s luck is too good? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
