Chapter 769: Ninth Layer of Void Refinement

"Regarding the Stone Platform Heavenly Ladder, if there isn't a Mahayana Emperor Realm expert watching over it, this Emperor fears something might happen. After all, this Emperor is the master of this place!"

"We should fulfill our responsibility to protect the children!"

"You all may continue your discussions here; this Emperor will go over to take a look first!"

Hum, hum, hum...

A wave of void fluctuations.

Jin Gang Yao Di left directly.

He did not want to participate, so he did not want to know the subsequent plans.

Hum, hum, hum...

At the same time, several other Demon Emperors left.

Soon, there were only a dozen or so Demon Emperors left in the great hall.

And it goes without saying that these dozen or so Demon Emperors either had a grudge against He Pingsheng and Wang Dun and hoped to kill them both, or they viewed the two as a threat to the human race.

In short, those who remained were all like-minded individuals.

"Emperor Feng, who do you think we should eliminate first?" Zhu Zhengyan's gaze was sharp as he brought the question out into the open.

Since those who didn't want to participate had already left, there was no longer any need to hide or hold back.

Emperor Feng pursed his lips toward Zhao Xiangdu.

Zhao Xiangdu said, "Fellow Demon Emperors, I may not be able to express this well, but please, listen to this plan!"

"My intention is to behead He Pingsheng first!"

"Because He Pingsheng and I have a grudge!"

"He snatched my fiancée!"

"Therefore, even if I, an Emperor, act by bullying the weak, at most it will be gossip, but the reason is justified!"

"And it won't leave any pretext for that human loose immortal!"

"What do you all think?"

Zhao Xiangdu looked around.

The Emperors nodded one after another.

The Jin Wu Demon Emperor Zhu Zhengyan asked again, "Brother Zhao, when do you intend to strike?"

Zhao Xiangdu said, "Now is probably not the time. After all, He Pingsheng is currently comprehending the Dao. To strike rashly might interrupt the progress of the competition!"

"How about this? I believe we should wait until this competition ends before looking for an opportunity to strike!"

"Not bad!" Emperor Feng also spoke up: "This plan is feasible. You have the hatred of a stolen wife with him, and Zhao Xiangdu is originally human. Even if that old immortal of the human race comes to cause trouble later, there will be nothing they can do. At worst, they will just reprimand Zhao Xiangdu!"

"Besides, the hatred of a stolen wife is a justified reason to kill!"

"Once He Pingsheng falls, that Wang Dun will naturally be easy to deal with!"

"Hehehe..."

The Emperors agreed one after another.

However, someone raised a doubt.

Kongkong Yao Di said, "Brother Zhao might have forgotten that He Pingsheng still has clones, and legend has it there are five of them. Killing him is useless; his clones will instantly become the main body and bathe in the world's Qi luck to cultivate again!"

"Hehehe... there is no need for you to worry about this problem, Kongkong Yao Di!"

"Look, what is this?" As Zhao Xiangdu spoke, he took out a talisman.

This talisman glowed with a pale yellow luster, its runes flowing like divine jade.

"Soul-Linking Curse Talisman?" Kongkong Yao Di was slightly startled: "You still have this item?"

"Yes!" Zhao Xiangdu said: "This is a sixth-tier talisman, and a top-tier one at that. I had a Mahayana Emperor Realm Demon Emperor draw it for me. There are two of these talismans in total. One is for He Pingsheng. As long as it is stuck on his body, it can connect his five clones and his main body simultaneously!"

"One strike, certain death!"

"As for this second one, hehe... it can be saved for that Wang Dun!"

Time flowed slowly!

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed!

A cultivator dressed in black walked to the foot of the Heavenly Ladder and shouted loudly: "Time is up, enlightenment is over!"

The Jin Wu Demon Emperor Zhu Zhengyan and another Phoenix Clan Demon Emperor, who had been helping to block the gang-wind, left.

Boom...

The massive gang-wind descended.

Then, the heaven-proud ones sitting cross-legged on the plaza opened their eyes one by one.

It was over!

"Phew..." He Pingsheng let out a deep sigh of relief and put away the Dao law vortex above his head.

A hundred years of Dao comprehension.

He Pingsheng had managed to comprehend half a divine ability, but... because of comprehending this Heavenly Gang Dao law, he had broken through two layers of Dao barriers.

This was a good thing.

At the same time, during these hundred years, He Pingsheng not only used the Poison Dao origin to improve his body refining, but the Poison Dao origin also allowed him to break through one layer of Dao barrier.

Thus, his cultivation base had broken through three more layers.

Therefore, He Pingsheng's cultivation base had gone from the sixth layer of the Void Refinement Stage to the ninth layer of the Void Refinement Stage.

This cultivation base narrowed the gap between him and the other heaven-proud ones even further.

His body refining had also improved to the ninth layer of the Void Refinement Stage.

It was just that his spirit refining had not improved; it was still at the sixth layer!

Do not underestimate this cultivation base improvement from the sixth to the ninth layer of the Void Refinement Stage; the increase in combat power was enormous.

He Pingsheng felt that with his current cultivation base, he no longer needed to fear any cultivator of the same realm.

Hmm...

Except for Wang Shixiong Shixiong.

Because Wang Shixiong Shixiong was such a freak, it was truly impossible to fathom him.

"Everyone!"

Jin Gang Yao Di stood in the void, looking at the countless heaven-proud ones at his feet, and said: "Next, I will announce the score ranking for this Heavenly Ladder enlightenment!"

"Only the top one hundred!"

"First place, human Wang Dun, one hundred points!"

"Second place, human He Pingsheng, ninety-nine points!"

"Third place, Jin Wu Clan, Zhu Xuanlun, ninety-eight points!"

"Fourth place, Phoenix Clan Feng Wanxi, ninety-seven points..."

"Fifth place..."

Jin Gang Yao Di read them out one by one.

He Pingsheng noticed that Nan Qiqi's ranking this time was not very good, only in the forties.

Of course, although she was in the forties, she had still obtained over fifty points.

After all, Nan Qiqi was the number one heaven-proud one of the Zhu Que Clan.

And the Zhu Que Clan was also one of the nine great Heavenly Clans.

With her ranking in the forties, it was actually considered quite poor.

Soon, the top one hundred were announced.

As for those after one hundred, they were not announced further because they were no longer being scored.

"Fellow heaven-proud ones!" Jin Gang Yao Di looked at everyone with a smile: "According to the rules, in this stage, if one comprehends a divine ability related to the Heavenly Gang Dao law, one can also add one hundred points!"

"Whoever has comprehended such a divine ability can step forward!"

Comprehending a divine ability—this was not something everyone could do.

In every previous Stone Platform Assembly, out of nearly a thousand people, those who could comprehend a divine ability would not exceed the number of fingers on one hand.

Jin Gang Yao Di's gaze first fell on Wang Dun.

Wang Dun shook his head and said: "This junior did not comprehend a divine ability!"

Jin Gang Yao Di's gaze then looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng also cupped his hands: "This junior did not comprehend one either!"

Actually, it was not that he hadn't comprehended one.

He Pingsheng had.

He had comprehended a divine ability related to the Heavenly Gang power and finally integrated this divine ability into his original divine ability 【Heavenly Gang Three Transformations】, further strengthening it.

Originally, the third transformation of this Heavenly Gang Three Transformations could increase one's own attack power by two times.

But later, with the improvement of his cultivation base, especially after ascending to the Spirit Realm, the effect of this divine ability had been greatly discounted.

It could only increase it by one time.

Now that the half-divine ability He Pingsheng had comprehended was integrated with his original divine ability, the Heavenly Gang Three Transformations had returned to its former level.

Entering the third transformation could increase attack and defense power by two times.

It was just that this divine ability was too shocking, so He Pingsheng did not intend to admit it.

It didn't matter.

Because with his current points, entering the top thirty to challenge the Stone Platform Heavenly Ladder was enough. ===== CHAPTER 770 =====
