In fact, after killing his opponent on the seventh step, Duan Ling Tian had felt the pulling force from the Teleportation Formation trying to send him to the eighth step. However, when he found he could withstand the pulling force, he decided to further stabilize his cultivation base and Divine Energy after becoming an advanced god.

After he was done, he finally allowed him to be taken away by the pulling force.

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian found himself hovering above a literal sea of blood. He could smell the metallic stench of blood rising from the sea. When he did not see or sense anyone with his Divine Consciousness, a vague idea appeared in his mind.

He rose higher up into the sky and stood with his hands on his back as he asked tonelessly, “You can create such life-like illusions with your bloodline power and hide your aura from my Divine Consciousness; I have to say you’re quite impressive. However, I’ll have to disappoint you if you think you’ll be able to catch me off guard.”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, the sea began to bubble as though it was boiling. After a moment, the sea vanished into thin air, and a middle-aged man dressed in a dark red robe appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. The middle-aged man was tall. He had a pair of piercing eyes. His eyebrows and stern expression made him look fierce. As soon as he appeared, he said, “Not bad. You managed to discover this is from my bloodline power.”

Now that the sea of blood had vanished, Duan Ling Tian found himself in a plain field.

“Since I’ve been brought here, how could there be no one around? Since I couldn’t detect you with my Divine Consciousness, it’s only obvious that I’d figure out what was happening,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“You’re quite smart. In the past, I killed quite a few inner disciples before they could even react. They didn’t even have a chance to leave the Heavenly Stairs,” the middle-aged man said confidently with a sinister smile, “I’ve been so bored during my time here. The only fun I have is playing with the inner disciples who come here. Since you’re rather smart, I’ll try not to kill you.”

“Kill me?” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly. “Oh, then I’ll have to thank you for sparing my life.”

“Brat, are you mocking me?” the red-clad middle-aged man said with a sneer, “Very well. You’ll soon have a taste of despair. I, Xue Hai Shan, is the strongest among the inner disciples imprisoned on the eighth step.”

Xue Hai Shan moved as soon as he finished speaking. Divine Energy surged from his body, boosted by the law he comprehended. With a flick of his finger, everything seemed to have frozen.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised when he felt the familiar energy. ‘The law of time?’

It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to figure out that Xue Hai Shan, the advanced god imprisoned here, had comprehended the law of time, one of the Four Supreme Laws. The law of time was also the most mysterious law.

Since one could control time with the law of time, it made the law difficult to guard against.

Duan Ling Tian could also tell Xue Hai Shan had already comprehended one triple Fused Profundity from the law of time.

“Although you’ve only comprehended one triple Fused Profundity from the law of time, it’s indeed enough to make you the strongest among the prisoners on the eighth step,” Duan Ling Tian said as Divine Energy surged out from his body. Then, he cast two triple Fused Profundities consecutively.

A terrifying spatial energy swept out, colliding with Xue Hai Shan’s law of time, preventing the law of time from affecting Duan Ling Tian.

The law of space was also one of the Four Supreme Laws and was not inferior to the law of time even if the law of time was more mysterious.

With two triple Fused Profundities, Duan Ling Tian managed to keep the law of time at bay.

Upon seeing this, Xue Hai Shan’s arrogant expression was replaced by an expression of disbelief. He exclaimed in shock, “Y-you… You comprehended two triple Fused Profundities from the law of space?!”

There was a reason why Xue Hai Shan was confident he was the strongest among those imprisoned on the eighth step. Despite all the prisoners on the eighth step being advanced gods who had comprehended one triple Fused Profundity, he was the only one who had comprehended a supreme law. Hence, this gave him an edge over the others.

Now that he was facing an opponent who not only comprehended a supreme law but also comprehended two triple Fused Profundities, he was at a loss. He felt hopeless and helpless. After all, he knew now he was no match for Duan Ling Tian.

“Do you want to continue?” Duan Ling Tian asked. Without waiting for a reply, the spatial energy raged like a storm, easily pushing Xue Hai Shan’s attack back.

Xue Hai Shan scoffed coldly with a sour expression on his face before he brought out a small and square flag that was inscribed with complex patterns. After he channeled his Divine Energy into it, his offensive strength soared immediately. For a while, not only did he seem to be able to rival Duan Ling Tian, but it also seemed like he could pressure Duan Ling Tian.

“Do you think you’re the only one with a mediocre divine artifact?” Duan Ling Tian asked tonelessly. Inwardly, he was rather surprised that Xue Hai Shan would bring out a divine artifact with a soul. Naturally, he was not afraid. With just a wave of his hand, he brought a sword, which was a divine artifact with a soul, out.

Swoosh!

After imbuing the sword with his Divine Energy, he swung it with all his might.

At the same time, the spatial energy converged before transforming into a huge sword ray.

Duan Ling Tian’s attack easily destroyed Xue Hai Shan’s attack before it landed on Xue Hai Shan.

Xue Hai Shan’s crimson robe was immediately shredded. His body was riddled with wounds in just a blink of an eye. His face was pale, and an expression of despair could be seen on his face.

Although Duan Ling Tian had held back at the last minute, Xue Hai Shan still suffered minor injuries due to his close proximity to Duan Ling Tian’s attack.

Swoosh!

When a gust of wind blew past them, Xue Hai San felt stinging pain from his wounds. Despite the pain, he was overjoyed. After all, he was certain he would die just a moment ago. Then, he bowed and hastily said, “Thank you for showing mercy, sir! I, Xue Hai Shan, will forever remember your kindness. May I ask for your name?”

“Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian replied. He had spared Xue Hai Shan’s life because earlier, Xue Hai Shan had said he would not kill him.

“Duan Ling Tian. Alright, I’ll remember your name!” Xue Hai Shan nodded. “If I manage to leave this place in the future, I’ll definitely repay this favor!”

Duan Ling Tian did not take Xue Hai Shan’s words to heart. After all, most of the inner disciples had committed a great crime to be imprisoned here. It would be a long time before they were released. Moreover, Xue Hai Shan was weaker than him. Hence, he did not think Xue Hai Shan would be able to repay the favor.

Before Duan Ling Tian left, Xue Hai Shan reminded him, “When you’re on the ninth step, you shouldn’t hesitate to use your token to leave when you encounter any danger. Moreover, once you climbed up the ninth floor, you would’ve broken all the record.”

“Are the prisoners on the ninth step and above all Kings of Gods?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

Xue Hai Shan replied, “Over 90% of them are Kings of Gods. There are few advanced gods who have comprehended two triple Fused Profundities; you’d be lucky to encounter them. If you encounter a King of Gods, it’d be difficult for you to defeat him even if his comprehension of the law is only mediocre. Try to hold on as long as you can on the ninth step. However, don’t hesitate to leave as soon as you encounter danger.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“Hey, let’s drink together after I leave this place!” Xue Hai Shan said before sending Duan Ling Tian to the ninth step with the Teleportation Formation.

After Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air, Xue Hai Shan said with a sigh, “I didn’t expect there’d be an advanced god who has comprehended two triple Fused Profundities in the Hidden Fog Sect. Moreover, the law he comprehended is the law of space, one of the Four Supreme Laws.”

Even before Xue Hai Shan was imprisoned, disciples like Duan Ling Tian were a rarity. Perhaps, only his younger brother, Xue Hai Chuan, was as talented.

“More than 10,000 years have passed, I wonder how’s that kid, Hai Chuan, is doing? With his innate talent and comprehension skills, he must be a Lord of Gods now, right? At the very least, he should be an advanced King of Gods now…” Xue Hai Shan muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, there was a huge uproar outside of the Heavenly Stairs.

“Heavens! Duan Ling Tian climbed up to the ninth step!”

“Am I seeing things?”
