Chapter 64: Red Dragon Essence, Ten Dragon Pillars Activated

When Su Yi’s Supreme Dragon Pillar reached 100% under the notification of the Dao voice, another notification appeared on Su Yi’s interface.

[Notification: Current trial, dragon pillar activated 1/10]

This notification was not only provided to him, but also to those who were sitting cross-legged on the other dragon pillars.

They also opened their eyes and noticed the abnormal movement of Su Yi’s Supreme Dragon Pillar. They saw the three fire dragons that were initially connected with the Supreme Dragon Pillar breaking away from it.

They turned into countless flames which poured into the other dragon pillars.

At this moment, the Supreme Dragon Pillar that Su Yi was standing on trembled slightly. The surface of the coiling dragon sculpture that was wrapped around it began to crack. Golden light shot out from those cracks.

Soon, the divine dragon on Su Yi’s dragon pillar completely collapsed. A cluster of dragon shadows that were completely formed by golden light wrapped around the dragon pillar a few times.

It carried a high-pitched dragon roar that shot into the Nine Heavens.

However, there was a ball of shining golden light in Su Yi’s hand. It was left behind by the dragon shadow just now.

[Item: Red Dragon Essence]

[Effect: After absorption, cultivation will increase by 5000. Inner breath will permanently increase by 10%.]

[Description: In a shattered realm, the foundation of a powerful sect contains a trace of the essence of a true dragon.]

“This…” Su Yi’s eyes lit up. “This is good stuff!”

Then, under the envious gazes of the other dragon pillars, he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the Red Dragon Essence.

As his Zhen Yuan moved, the Red Dragon Essence turned into a stream of light and entered his heart.

Immediately, a warm current spread through his entire body, and all the veins and tendons in his body seemed to be washed away.

After two moments, he finally finished absorbing the Red Dragon Essence.

Soon, a few notifications popped up on his interface.

[Hint: You have absorbed the Red Dragon Essence. Your cultivation has increased by 5,000. Inner breath increased by 5% permanently.]

[Hint: Your cultivation has reached 20,000/20,000, and you have broken through to the third layer of the foundation establishment realm.]

[Hint: you have broken through to the third layer of the early foundation establishment realm, strength + 700, physique + 700, inner breath+ 700]

True essence started to circulate around his body, and a faint aura started to spread out.

Then, true essence started to gather in his qi center, along with a strong fluctuation.

His aura suddenly increased by one level, and his realm also reached the early stage of the foundation establishment realm.

This aura of breakthrough instantly alarmed the other geniuses above the dragon pillar.

They had all experienced the third level of the foundation establishment stage and were almost all at the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage. Currently, this aura, which belonged to the early stage of the foundation establishment stage, was being emitted from Su Yi’s body.

How could they not be surprised?

They saw that on the seventh pillar, Lan Xiaotian was staring intently at Su Yi. His expression was suddenly filled with shock as he muttered in disbelief.

“This, this is impossible!!”

He even shouted out. He could not believe that Su Yi’s cultivation had not even reached the middle stage of the foundation establishment realm. He was frightened by an attack from an early stage foundation establishment cultivator?

Lan Xiaotian rubbed his face aggressively. It could be said that he had lost all his face.

Meanwhile, Li Mengxi looked at Su Yi with a slight sigh. She did not expect that Su Yi had actually broken through to the third layer of the foundation establishment realm.

As for Nie Ling, her eyes were shining with a strange light, and her face was full of smiles.

The other Heaven’s Favorites could not believe it. They did not expect Su Yi to be only at the early stage of the foundation establishment realm.

As for Ling Jun, his face turned cold. Su Yi must have used something to create that aura.

His own strength was only at the early stage of the foundation establishment realm, how strong could he be?

For a moment, everyone began to reassess Su Yi’s strength.

…

Just as everyone was reassessing Su Yi’s strength, the dragon pillars they were sitting on began to move strangely.

Within the remaining nine dragon pillars, the dragon-shaped sculptures began to crumble, and golden dragon shadows shot up into the Nine Heavens.

However, those golden dragon shadows were clearly not as solid as Su Yi’s huge dragon shadow.

Each one was more transparent than the last.

Among the crowd, the Dao voice was also constantly reminding them.

[Hint: Current trial, dragon pillar activated 2/10]

[Hint: Current trial, dragon pillar activated 3/10]

…

[Hint: Current trial, dragon pillar activated 10/10]

[Hint: Trial completed, construction of the stairway to heaven is about to begin.]

As Dao voice faded, the ten dragon pillars began to shake, as if it was going to throw everyone off.

It was not just the dragon pillars that started to shake. Even the platform that was ten thousand feet wide also started to shake.

The entire circular platform started to shine with golden light. A vast and ancient aura spread throughout the space.

Seeing this, Su Yi jumped from the dragon pillar and jumped back onto the platform. He felt that the dragon pillar under his feet was starting to collapse. Thus, he had no choice but to jump onto the platform.

The dragon pillars surrounding the platform also started to move. Those Heaven’s Favorite cultivators all followed suit and jumped onto the platform.

Boom! Boom!

When they all jumped off, the dragon pillar could not hold on any longer. It shattered layer by layer, causing waves of dust to rise. Then, it began to collapse.

First, the tenth dragon pillar that Nie ling was on turned into rubble and crashed onto the platform.

Then, they arrived at the ninth dragon pillar, and soon, they arrived at the Supreme Dragon Pillar.

“Fellow Daoist Su, what’s the meaning of this?”

When Su Yi, Nie Ling, and the other two jumped down from the dragon pillar, they had already gathered together.

The three of them looked at the strange movements around them, and Nie Ling could not help but look at Su Yi and ask, “what’s happening?”

Among the three of them, she had arrived at the Land of Flames the latest, so she did not know much about the situation.

After being asked this question, Su Yi looked at him with blank eyes and said softly. “do you think I look like I know?”

Seeing his blank look, Nie Ling could not help but chuckle and said faintly, “I think fellow Daoist Su, you are omniscient and omnipotent. By the way, I haven’t congratulated you for breaking through to the third layer of the foundation establishment realm yet.”

A faint smile appeared on her beautiful eyes and jade-like lips, giving off a gentle feeling like a spring breeze.

…

The few of them chatted for a while, and the dragon pillar completely collapsed.

At this moment, dragon roars could be heard from the Nine Heavens. Nine enormous golden dragon shadows actually transformed into flowing lights and rushed down from the Nine Heavens.

Emitting a holy golden light, wherever the nine dragons passed by, the golden light would sprinkle down, turning into the illusory images of the sky-reaching stairway.

They were soaring high up in the sky, dancing and landing directly on the platform where Su Yi and the rest were.

At the same time, the illusory images of the stairway to Heaven that was converged by the golden light also appeared in the center of the huge platform.

When the illusory image of the stairway to Heaven was constructed by the golden dragon shadow of the Nine Heavens, it turned into a guardian on both sides of the stairway to heaven, each exuding an awe-inspiring might.

[Hint: the third trial has begun. Go through the Stairway to Heaven.]
