Mad God Evolution-Chapter 1652 - 1542

After the envy, many Venerable Sages wore cold smiles and were gloating.

Nothing more than this!

The current strength of the Heavenly Teacher Master is even weaker than Lv Zhong’s, only an eighth lower-stage Sage. Once restricted from using magical treasures and weapons, passing the Second Stage — the Sky-ascending Ladder — might be even more impossible.

He might even fall.

For outstanding Sages like Tongtian and Lv Zhong, if they were one’s own disciples, it would definitely be a matter of great joy.

But if they were someone else’s disciples, and even ventured into a dire strait, naturally, one would hope such potential Sages would fall sooner.

"Since you’re here, take it easy."

Compared to other Venerable Sages’ schadenfreude and genuine elders’ worries, the mood of the Heavenly Teacher Master was unexpectedly calm, exhibiting a demeanor of everyone.

Huh?

Master Hongjun was inwardly puzzled, and his expression eased a lot.

Lv Zhong, however, brightened up, and a knowing look appeared in his gaze toward the Heavenly Teacher Master. Obviously, he instantly understood that the Heavenly Teacher Master had greatly benefited from the First Stage.

Because Lv Zhong was like this too!

Indeed!

The Heavenly Teacher Master also seemed to notice Lv Zhong’s gaze, and almost imperceptibly gave Lv Zhong a look, nodding slightly.

"Interesting!"

Lv Zhong immediately became pleased.

"The time for the First Stage test is over. Those who haven’t arrived here are considered failures. Now, the Second Stage — the Sky-ascending Ladder — officially begins..."

As soon as the words of the Haoyang Divine Sovereign began to fade, all the light doors leading here vanished one by one.

Suddenly, all Venerable Sages and Sages present wore an expression of surprise.

This time, more than 150,000 Sages rushed into the Chaos to enter the Haoyang Divine Palace. And there are even more than 10,000 Venerable Sages, up to 12,000.

The exact progress of the Sages through the test is temporarily unknown to the Venerable Sages present. But now, only less than 4,000 Venerable Sages stand here having passed the First Stage.

Obviously!

Just the First Stage took out two-thirds of the Venerable Sages.

Such a high elimination rate.

If the First Stage already had such a high elimination rate, what about the Second Stage?

How many more can pass and break into the Third Stage?

Thinking of this, a trace of seriousness appeared in the hearts of many Venerable Sages.

Indeed, within the Haoyang Divine Palace, there truly are some opportunities that everyone is madly pursuing. But obtaining such opportunities is definitely not easy.

At the least, getting seriously injured, and at the worst, truly falling here.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo..."

The center of the Sea of Fire suddenly surged, causing the surrounding temperature to skyrocket crazily.

This situation finally brought the absent-minded Venerable Sages back to their senses, making everyone brace themselves to deal with all upcoming difficulties and dangers with all their might.

"Boom boom boom..."

Within the Sea of Fire, a large amount of magma began to erupt as well.

"Heaven and Earth Great Movement..." Haoyang Divine Sovereign gave a light shout, relocating all 4,000 plus Venerable Sages and Sages present without exception to the first layer of the Pyramids.

"Ha-ha, all challengers, everyone should fully climb the Sky-ascending Ladder. If you don’t sprint quickly, the Sea of Fire and magma below won’t spare you, and to get the greatest opportunity, you must also be prepared to sacrifice your life..."

In the sky, the shadow of the Haoyang Divine Sovereign emitted a dramatic laugh.

Along with the Haoyang Divine Sovereign’s arrogant laughter, the Sea of Fire and magma below surged and erupted at an even faster pace.

"Shit, being played by the Haoyang Divine Sovereign, everybody quickly. Rush upwards..."

"I get it, the Haoyang Divine Sovereign is roasting us inside a mysterious volcano..."

"This is forcing us to sprint like mad..."

...

The faces of many Venerable Sages drastically changed, feeling the increasingly intense heat and fire below; everyone frantically rushed to the higher layers.

"Huh, something’s wrong! Such intense pressure..."

"Damn, the second ladder really does have greater pressure."

"The pressure is 10 times that of the first layer! Haoyang Divine Sovereign wasn’t lying to us."

"Although the pressure on the second layer is strong, it shouldn’t be difficult for any Venerable Sage..."

"The problem is we must at least reach the 60th step to pass..."

"Damn, how could I forget this? This is big trouble. With 600 times the pressure, I don’t even know if I can hold on by then..."

...

Many Venerable Sages discussed heatedly, desperately darting upward.

Because the temperature of the Sea of Fire below was getting higher and higher, and that magma was erupting, making it highly possible for it to engulf the first layer of the Sky Ladder in a short time.

The Venerable Sages present did not notice that at the very bottom, there was an extremely leisurely figure watching the other Venerable Sages madly rush upward. Meanwhile, he was strolling calmly and lazily, having a light conversation with another Sage via voice transmission.

Lv Zhong!

Tongtian!

These two Sages were even calmer than any Venerable Sage.

Nobody knew what these two slightly lower-ranked Sages were discussing, but looking at their state, it seemed they truly didn’t place the violent eruptions of the Sea of Fire and magma below in their eyes.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, you’ve gained quite a lot this time..." Seeing the equally relaxed Heavenly Teacher Master, Lv Zhong wore a smile.

The Heavenly Teacher Master elegantly took out a jade gourd of wine, drank a sip of the precious beverage, and chuckled: "Don’t flatter me; we’re about the same!"

"I noticed that Senior Brother’s Microcosmic Spirit Condensation Technique of the Vast World has suddenly been cultivated to the sixteenth layer, which is almost comparable to the soul energy of an eighth peak Venerable Sage. How much Divine Light did you absorb and integrate this time?" Lv Zhong was a bit curious because the Heavenly Teacher Master’s strength growth suddenly seemed much faster than his own.

Smacking his lips, the Heavenly Teacher Master said, "I obtained a hundred strands of Divine Light. I integrated thirty of them myself, while the remaining seventy were completely fused into the Slaughter Immortal Four Swords. Heh, there’s hope that I can upgrade the Slaughter Immortal Four Swords to true divine artifact status before ascending. Moreover, it will be a composite divine artifact with an array diagram for a sword array. Envious, Junior Brother?"

Indeed!

Lv Zhong had to admire the Heavenly Teacher Master’s boldness. The Slaughter Immortal Four Swords had been refined by the Heavenly Teacher Master as his life-bound magical treasure. With so much Divine Light fused, there was indeed a chance of the Slaughter Immortal Four Swords advancing to a divine artifact.

At that time, the power this kind of owner-growing composite divine artifact could display would be terrifying.

"Then, Junior Brother Lv Zhong, how about you?" Tongtian was also a bit curious.

Lv Zhong slightly smiled: "Heh, I only fused ten strands of the Divine Light of Light. Like you, the rest went to my magical treasures. Ha-ha..."

Of course, Lv Zhong’s gains weren’t just these.

The additional Fire Dao Spirit he acquired was absolutely kept a secret.

Moreover, the supreme peak-level Fire Dao Saint Patterns Lv Zhong attained were also significant rewards.

That’s why, having evolved such powerful and high-ranking Fire Dao Saint Patterns, Lv Zhong dared to compete with Venerable Sages without using a Tao artifact.

"Ha-ha, it seems both Senior Brother and Junior Brother have reaped quite a lot this time. In that case, why don’t we see between us who climbs the most steps on the Sky Ladder? What do you think?" The Heavenly Teacher Master suddenly became interested, issuing a challenge to Lv Zhong.

To be honest, in recent years, Lv Zhong’s rise had been explosive. Not only had he made a name for himself in all heavens and myriad realms, but he also overshadowed the fame of the Heavenly Teacher Master in the Earth Immortal World. This sparked a bit of competitive spirit in the Heavenly Teacher Master, who prepared to sincerely compete with Lv Zhong to see who was truly stronger.

"Alright!" Lv Zhong also knew the Heavenly Teacher Master had no other intentions, and agreed eagerly.

The Heavenly Teacher Master was immediately delighted, his figure like lightning, as he suddenly darted to the second layer: "Ha-ha, Little Junior Brother, I’ll go ahead... ha-ha, you might fall behind..."

Lv Zhong didn’t chase after but instead shook his head nonchalantly, transmitting his voice, "Senior Brother Tongtian, running fast doesn’t necessarily mean you can climb the higher steps..."

Lv Zhong remained unhurried, not even stepping onto the second ladder, and instead decisively activated his own Fire Holy Patterns, absorbing the overflowing fire energy around him with all his might.
