Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3750 - 3769: Fast-Forward Mode?

Lin Chen remembered the events in the Illusionary Realm, nervously observing his surroundings, but he didn’t notice anything unusual.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the Creation God hasn’t been discovered; otherwise, the Fire God and Earth God would surely descend here immediately, regardless of whether they’re still in the game.

Scared the life out of me.

Lin Chen looked up and saw several people on the Heavenly Stairway above, and one of them was actually Lan Shuiying.

No wonder she’s the next candidate for the Taohua Palace lord; her talent and strength are top-notch.

Lin Chen counted the people above; there were five in total. If no one left through the endpoint, would that make himself sixth?

Keep pushing!

At this moment, Lin Chen couldn’t afford to rest and continued on his journey.

In the Illusionary Realm, time did not exist. It felt like Lin Chen had walked there for many years, yet he didn’t know how much time had passed in the real world. However, according to the Heaven Celebration time, it should be very short since people outside are still waiting.

After leaving the Cloud Sea, the terrifying pressure returned to his body, and Lin Chen gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.

Soon, Lin Chen caught up with the fifth person.

That man, seeing Lin Chen catching up, flushed in the face and accelerated, but Lin Chen soon caught up with him.

When the two of them stepped on the same step, Lin Chen saw a flash before his eyes, and a Light Door appeared in front of him, instantly sucking him and the other person inside.

What on earth is this?

Lin Chen and that man found themselves in a Barrier space, with a Light Door in the center, surrounded by a Light Circle.

As Lin Chen was still wondering, a loud voice echoed through the space.

"Enter the Light Circle and maintain it for more than thirty breaths; you’ll be declared victorious and can leave through the Light Door. The winner will automatically move up a hundred steps, while the loser will return to their original spot."

This is a battle for rank based on strength.

Winning allows you to advance a hundred steps up and closes the gap with others.

If your gap with the person ahead is originally less than a hundred steps, then couldn’t you overtake directly?

This is a shortcut to climbing the Heavenly Stairway, but considering that fighting will consume a lot of spiritual power and potentially cause injury, the balance is fair.

If you want to get first place, you must fight your way up one by one and cover the trailing distance, which is too unfair for those ranked lower. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

You’ve got to give people a chance to surpass, right?

As the voice fell, Lin Chen and the man simultaneously rushed towards the Light Circle and attacked each other.

Lin Chen burst into intense True Sun Fire, and before his Magical Treasure appeared, firelight flashed from his Fire Eyes, sweeping towards his opponent.

The man summoned a Turtle Shell emitting an earthy yellow radiance, blocking Lin Chen’s fiery attack.

Although the man managed to block the attack, ultimately Lin Chen was the attacker, and his defense slowed him down a little.

With just that slight difference, Lin Chen rushed into the Light Circle and unhesitatingly summoned the Linglong Tower.

For area defense, the Linglong Tower is the most reliable.

As long as I get in first, none of you should think about knocking me out within thirty breaths.

When the man saw Lin Chen enter the Light Circle, he panicked and summoned a large bell radiating yellow light, aiming to knock Lin Chen out of the Circle immediately.

He didn’t aim to injure the opponent, just to knock the other out of the Circle.

The Linglong Tower expanded, scattering golden light and forming a Barrier that perfectly covered the entire Light Circle. Lin Chen sat cross-legged under the Linglong Tower.

"Clang!"

The immense impact echoed through the space, seeming to shake the whole realm, yet Lin Chen remained as steady as Mount Tai.

The man was dumbfounded at once.

This was his all-out strike, yet the other didn’t budge an inch?

Was the gap in his strength versus the other’s that great?

The man, disbelieving, infused more spiritual power into his artifact, and the large bell charged at the Linglong Tower with even more ferocity.

The violent impacts dimmed the light of the Linglong Tower’s Barrier considerably, but soon, with replenished spiritual power, the Barrier’s light shone brightly again.

The man grew anxious, frantically manipulating his artifact to strike the Linglong Tower, yet as time ticked away, Lin Chen remained firmly in place, unyielding.

The thirty breaths’ time quickly passed, and golden ripples began to stir from the central light, turning from calm to boiling.

It had activated.

Lin Chen manipulated the Linglong Tower to crash into the man, who hurriedly manipulated his artifact to block it.

Through the intense clash, the Linglong Tower flew back and entered Lin Chen’s brow, and without waiting for the man to respond, Lin Chen was already stepping into the Light Door, vanishing instantly.

"No!"

The man cried out in dismay, and the next second, he was absorbed by a suddenly appearing Light Door.

When the scene before his eyes changed, he had returned to the Heavenly Stairway.

He looked up and found Lin Chen, who had been standing on the same step as him earlier, was now a hundred steps above him.

Lin Chen glanced back, his face showing an expression of excitement.

Not bad, though a fight was fought, not much time was spent, and I just leaped a hundred steps—it’s quite profitable for me.

Lin Chen turned and, full of energy, continued his climb, pursuing those ahead.

The fifth person was about a hundred and fifty steps away from the fourth before, but now that Lin Chen was fifth, it was only a forty-step distance to the fourth.

The fourth naturally saw Lin Chen chasing out of the Cloud Sea earlier, but when he saw Lin Chen suddenly leap over a hundred steps, he was startled and hastened his pace.

But in this upper segment, each step felt like carrying the Sky Dome, incredibly difficult, and speeding up was extremely challenging.

It wasn’t long before Lin Chen caught up with him.

As the two of them stepped onto the same step, they were once again without suspense transported to the same kind of space as before.

Lin Chen was already here for the second time, experienced, so as soon as he landed and before the prompt sounded, he transformed into a streak of Golden Light, directly rushing into the Light Circle.

The man instinctively chased after Lin Chen and, after listening to the rules, saw Lin Chen already in the Light Circle and got furious, feeling at a considerable disadvantage.

Eagerly, he summoned his flying sword, launching a titanic offensive like a mountain torrent at Lin Chen, yet all attacks were futile against the protection of the Linglong Tower.

Lin Chen didn’t want any Heaven Deity observing secretly to become intrigued by the Linglong Tower, so he deliberately showed a facade of barely holding on.

The Barrier light of the Linglong Tower wasn’t as dazzling as before, quickly dimming under the assault. The entire Linglong Tower seemed to be trembling violently, appearing very precarious, like it could be knocked away at any moment.

However, no matter how the Linglong Tower shook, Lin Chen remained firmly in the center, as immovable as ever!
