Dual Sword God

Chapter 48 - The Dragons Rise as The Tigers Descend

The wind was chilly as a sea of clouds filled one's entire field of vision, painting the world in a hue of pure white. The golden rays of sunlight beamed its way through the vast area of clouds occasionally reflecting off a massive construct that could now be seen within this space.

It was a colossal stairway that ascended towards the very limits of the sky as if calmly overlooking the world.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

However, this calmness was soon disturbed, as many silhouettes appeared and disappeared as they mounted its stairs climbing to the limits of the heavens itself. The figures moved with unique and various styles, some moving as flexible as monkeys, some leaving nothing but blurs and others even morphing into the beams of light.

Sadly, these were only the strongest among these climbers, as the weaker ones would slowly throttle their way up the stairway as if they were bearing the world's strongest pressure, trying their hardest to overcome their limits.

"Arghh!" A bulky looking youth roared to the heavens as his veins protruded on his entire body, beads of sweat poured down his frame as he struggled with every ounce of his fleshy body's power to mount his next step up the stairway.

Step! Finally, after a loud stomp on the ground, he managed to make progress further along these stairs. He sat down and regulated his breathing as he wiped the sweat from his forehead before looking up at the endless steps remaining in front of his eyes.

"Haa... haa... whew, this challenge is going nowhere. I won't make it if I continue to struggle at this remote section. How could anyone be so monstrous as those geniuses from the imperial clans and top-class Influences," The youth said while calming breathing.

Soon, he moved his vision downwards a noticed a strange scene.

As the other talents struggled to make their way forward with all their might, there were five unusual forms quickly surpassing the masses traversing the stairway as if they were weightless entities.

"What on earth is g----?" The youth exclaimed in shock, but before he could finish his words, the forms instantly appeared at his location soon after vanishing to the distant steps of the stairway ascending to the heights of the heavens.

The youth looked up at the backs of these individuals that traveled to the limits of the sky in the blink of an eye in disbelief.

"Are, are my eyes playing tricks on me?" The youth questioned himself as he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Down on the ground level, all of the audience and crowd looked at the scene being displayed on a screen made of energy in surprise.

"These guys! Who the hell are they?" An individual within the audience said.

"Not to bother about those unknown guys don't you see who that guy is?" Another individual said as he pointed towards the red-haired youth that was casually ascending the stairway with the strange group of individuals. Looking closely, it seemed as if he was taking a stroll with the other individuals who each displayed a similar kind of leisure as they traversed hundreds of meters upwards with each step.

"How can this be?!" Xiang Tian roared as he looked at the figure of Feng Yu in shock. He couldn't believe what he saw even wholly forgetting the fact that his son Xiang Shu was displaying a similar type of strength with ease.

"When did the Feng Clan kid get so powerful? Wait, could it be just his willpower? That's right that has to be it. This challenge does not require a deep cultivation base," He said to himself as he decided to convince himself that Feng Yu was only lucky because of his strength of will.
