Chapter 390: The Third Stage

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Someone climbed the first step?”

Outside the Divine Gate, the news spread like wildfire. No matter how cold and strict the high altitude winds were, they could not stop the steaming hot gossip of all living beings…

“Who is it? Who’s so awesome?”

“Who else? It’s the Pharos of the East! Let’s go and see…”

“Me too, I’m coming too.”

From north to south, east to west, all kinds of creatures gathered at the Divine Gate.

In just one hour, the place was crowded with people. They shouted and clambered, refusing to relent to others, and scrambled to watch.

The advantage of the Divine Gate being placed at a high altitude was demonstrated. No matter how large the audience, they did not have to worry about any trampling accidents. Only a few unlucky ones would misstep and fall.

Above the sea, many people dropped like dumplings with splashes, showing the intensity of the scene.

Fortunately, the ones who fell were all at least Bucket-level. Otherwise, hitting the ocean surface after falling from a height of 3 km would be no different from hitting a cement floor.

Those who remained standing all had their eyes fixed on the Divine Gate. Ten or so well known heroes were trapped under the first jade step. They had all sorts of embarrassing appearances that would no doubt become a laughing stock in the future.

Only Vigilante A held his head high. He looked refreshed and saw the steps like they were nothing. He stepped up as if he was just taking a casual stroll.

The clouds filled the sky, and the stairway twisted all the way to the ninth heaven. Everything will change after climbing the Divine Gate.

“He climbed the first step, but what about the second?”

With unease in their hearts, everyone watched as Vigilante A finished walking on the first step.

Then, he went straight for the second step.

Climbing the second step, to him, was also as easy as stepping on the flat ground. He climbed up effortlessly.

“As expected of the Pharos of the East!”

Everyone cheered. While the others were still stuck below the first step, he already completed the second step?!

However, it was not over yet. They then saw him walk towards the third step.

However, the color of the third step suddenly changed.

From outside the Divine Gate, all the nine steps inside looked like jade, pure and white.

Their heights were moderate, only coming up to the knees of an ordinary person. However, they were very broad, like ordinary stone stairs. It could accommodate dozens of people climbing at the same time.

Right now, the jade white color of the third step turned to bronze.

From afar, these nine steps were not a large amount. One would easily be able to finish climbing them in less than a minute.

However, it was precisely these seemingly easy steps that trapped dozens of heroes right before the first step.

Nevertheless, Vigilante A actually climbed straight from the second step and was sprinting for the third step!

This fully reflected the gap between the two sides!

However, the color of the third step suddenly changed. It seemed like the Heavenly Axiom became aware of the existence of that bug-level climber and was adjusting the difficulty level.

At this moment, that hero stopped right before the third step.

That was more like it. Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief at the sight.

If he were to actually climb all nine steps in one go, they would definitely doubt of this was just something the referee allowed himself to do!

After all, this Divine Gate was opened by him. As the Son of the Heavenly Axiom, if the stairway allowed him to reach the top so easily, it would be extremely unfair to others.

However, could this Hero go any higher?

Fang Ning was also very puzzled, and asked, “Sir, why did you stop? Haven’t you heard the saying ‘the fighting spirit is aroused by the first roll of drums, depleted by the second, and exhausted by the third’?”

“Fighting spirit my foot. This third step is trouble…” the System hesitated. “how about you try instead, Rich-man Host?”

“Huh?” Fang Ning doubted his ears and hurriedly asked, “You were completely unaffected by the illusion at the first step. The second step tested your strength, but anyone above Lake-level would be able to pass, so you weren’t affected as well. Is there something odd about this third step?”

The System hesitated. “I don’t see anything strange, but I have a feeling that I can’t directly step on it. You go instead, Mr. Rich Boss.”

System Notification: [The System has aborted seizing state.]

Fang Ning was extremely speechless, but could only take over Vigilante A’s body.

He observed carefully. By his feet was a green step. What was so difficult about it?

However, the System had been so cautious, so he also did not dare to act rashly.

As soon as he came to a standstill, a buzz sounded by his ear.

“What’s wrong, even the Pharos of the East failed?”

“Mm, looks like that. However, he could climb two steps at one go, so that’s already quite amazing. The others were not able to even climb one step.”

“Hehe, look what you just said. Are you comparing the Pharos of the East to those useless fellas? They would have to climb at least seven steps before they’re able to deserve such a big name.

“Yeah, his true body is still a True Dragon, but he could only climb two of the steps. He’s such a shame to a True Dragon’s noble status.”

“That’s right, if other big shots who physically descended were to enter this Divine Gate, I’m afraid they’ll reach the top all too easily. There wouldn’t be any waste of time either.”

A group of voices full of criticisms reached Fang Ning’s ears, making him rather agitated.

Fortunately, he had cultivated and could remain calm and collected. If it were a year ago, he would have lost himself in anger.

However, he was used to it. A famous person would naturally have gossip surrounding him. Now that China was completely integrated, no one would openly mock Vigilante A.

However, outside of China, beyond the humans, there were still many jealous humans and demons.

Fang Ning calmed his heart and decisively raised his foot.

However, the moment he stepped on the third step, the sound of thunder suddenly rumbled from inside the Divine Gate

Then, a strange beast appeared.

A palm-size green-skinned frog appeared at the third step and started croaking at Fang Ning, who had one foot on the step.

“What’s it saying? Sir, could you translate…” Fang Ning was confused.

“Wait, I’ll look for it.” the System immediately began to search. “Found it. I caught a frog monster who robbed a civilian girl in the west before and threw it in the Draconic Penitentiary. I’ll let it translate for you.”

Fang Ning sighed in relief. The green-skinned frog’s voice was soon automatically translated to Mandarin.

The green-skinned frog said, “If you want to cross this step, you have to do one thing first.”

Fang Ning became stressed at the words. The scope was too wide.

However, he still calmly used spiritual telepathy. “What is it?”

Of course, Fang Ning’s words were also automatically translated into frog language. That was why he needed to use spiritual telepathy. He could not carelessly start croaking after all.

The green-skinned frog was amazed. “You’re incredible, you even know our frog language. In that case, I’ll let you do something simple.”

“Go ahead, I’m ready,” said Fang Ning.

Well, he already made the souls in the Draconic Penitentiary prepare themselves and concentrated a large amount of vigor.

He completely knew the difficulty of this stairway. Although the System made it seem easy, that was precisely the reason why it was restrained.

Without mentioning anything else but the first two steps, the Heavenly Axiom had already raised the difficulty level to the point where only the cream of the crop would be able to break through.

One was a mysterious illusion that required the perfect soul.

Another required at least Lake-level strength, the highest level of strength.

As for this third one, what did it require?
