"No, look at that detestable person up ahead. If you collapse here, he'll come back to mock you."
"Then... I'll just walk a bit further? But I definitely won't catch up to him." Mo Qi said.
As he spoke, Mo Qi dragged his heavy body forward again.
At this moment, there were still a few scattered people around. Shui Han also slowed down, stopping not too far ahead, looking back at him from time to time.
Xiao Ling caught up to Shui Han, glanced at her profile, and was instantly stunned by her beauty, staring at her in a daze. "Miss, may I ask your name, where you live, and if you are married?"
Shui Han ignored him and continued to walk forward.
Mo Qi watched this, gritting his teeth in anger. With some unknown strength, he surged forward again.
He kept chasing Xiao Ling, like a hunter staring at his prey, fixing his gaze on it, his steps never slackening.
Even with the Heavenly Book in hand, Xiao Ling gradually slowed down, his stamina beginning to falter.
Conversely, Mo Qi was gradually closing the distance between them.
Unknowingly, they reached the five hundredth level, and Mo Qi could hardly believe it.
As Min Xiaorong had said, if you don't try, you won't know your own limits.
Therefore, he decided to try again.
At this point, everyone was in the most difficult phase, unable to move an inch, inching forward one by one.
People from various worlds, upon reaching this level, had basically converged and gathered.
Only a handful of people remained on the field.
Mo Qi, Shui Han, Min Xiaorong, Xiao Ling, and three other young people.
The other three young people were two men and one woman. The woman was Chan'er, and the two men were strangers, one fat and one thin, looking rather猥琐.
No one knew what Chan'er was thinking, to actually join this envoy.
Mo Qi didn't want to pry, so he pretended not to know her.
Chan'er, however, took the initiative to greet him. "It's you! You've actually made it here, that's quite good!"
What kind of words were these? This was naked contempt!
Unexpectedly, these words opened up everyone's conversation.
The fat man and the thin man also burst into laughter. "Indeed, it's not easy. A cultivator of Saint Monarch realm managing to climb this far, what perseverance! How did he endure it? Truly commendable spirit, we are truly impressed!"
Xiao Ling also looked at Mo Qi with disdain. "I didn't even notice. Your cultivation is so low? I was actually proud to be known alongside you. Now, it seems it's my disgrace. Don't say you know me in the future."
Mo Qi ignored their taunts and continued to push forward.
Unknowingly, Mo Qi had moved ahead of Xiao Ling.
He laughed for a long time before suddenly realizing he had fallen behind.
So he continued to unfold the Heavenly Book, which began to glow, supporting his heavy body as it moved upward.
But the mountain-like pressure was too immense, almost suffocating him. The spiritual energy used to activate the Heavenly Book was also affected, and unknowingly, he started to falter.
No, I can't stop like this. As long as he hasn't stopped, I can't stop.
Otherwise, he'll laugh at me.
So he gritted his teeth and continued to drag his heavy steps forward.
Even crawling would be faster than his current forward pace.
However, he also knew that it was good enough to be able to move forward at this point.
Mo Qi also knew that in reality, everyone was fighting to persevere, and no one felt at ease.
With this thought, his steps actually became lighter.
Min Xiaorong was truly at ease, but worried that others might notice something, she pretended to be struggling, moving with great difficulty.
Thus, unknowingly, Mo Qi had actually moved ahead of everyone, except for Shui Han.
Shui Han, being ahead, saw that they were about to reach the six hundredth level and deliberately slowed down, advancing slowly, controlling her speed to be even slower than Mo Qi's.
So, gradually, Mo Qi surged to the very front, heading straight for the six hundredth level.
The fat man, the thin man, and Xiao Ling stopped laughing.
The fat man trembled with anger and roared at the thin man, "Xi Caihua, hurry up! Stop dawdling! That trash has already gotten ahead of us."
"Ji Zhuo, my name is Xi Caifa! How many times have I told you not to mispronounce my name!" the thin man roared back.
Ji Zhuo continued to roar, "Alright, Xi Caifa, hurry up and put in some effort! Don't let him get too arrogant. We need to surpass the six hundredth level, and we need to surpass him too."
Xi Caifa forced himself to rush a few steps before wilting. "I'm already giving it my all."
Chan'er also felt indignant. "You are all useless! Watch me!"
As she spoke, Chan'er flickered her figure and actually surged forward, instantly covering several levels.
Mo Qi continued at his original pace, advancing unhurriedly.
Not long after, Chan'er could no longer sustain her speed and slowed down, only able to watch as Mo Qi caught up.
"You scoundrel! Return the Star Fortune Stone to me, and I'll let you get ahead of me." Chan'er threatened.
"My belongings, how could I possibly return them to you," Mo Qi said. "Besides, if you have the ability, you should be the first. Why should I let you pass me?"
Saying this, Mo Qi, as expected, moved to the very front.
Chan'er could only stand there anxiously.
Ji Zhuo, after raging there, deflated. "So what? For now, you're first. Whoever reaches the six hundredth level is the victor. You're pushing hard now, but you'll falter later, and then you'll know we're still superior."
A moment later, Ji Zhuo and Xi Caifa both reached the six hundredth level. They only saw Chan'er and Shui Han, but not Mo Qi. They searched everywhere but couldn't find him, and couldn't help but laugh. "This guy, he finally fell off! It's truly satisfying!"
Shui Han glared at them. "What are you gloating about? He's already rushed ahead. By now, he's probably reached the six hundred and fiftieth level."
"What?" Ji Zhuo could hardly believe his ears. "With that cultivation, reaching the three hundredth level was already a miracle. He actually made it here, and not only that, he's still pushing forward? This is too absurd!"
Xi Caifa slapped Ji Zhuo. "Let's go, brother, we can't fall behind! Let's catch up."
Ji Zhuo looked up and his legs instantly went weak, and he collapsed to the ground. "I can't move anymore. If you want to chase, you chase."
At this moment, the clouds and mist dispersed, and people all over the world saw this scene, erupting into thunderous applause.
"They are truly amazing! They will surely be the hope of the entire galaxy!"
Ji Zhuo immediately sat up again, basking in the widespread praise, feeling elated. "Let's go, let's chase him."
The two of them slowly squeezed forward again, pushing and shoving each other. After not moving far, they returned to their original spot.
It turned out that the six hundredth level was a bottleneck. They had reached their limit here and couldn't move forward no matter what.
The two refused to believe it and took a few more steps forward, only to return to the same spot.
"How did that person grow like that?"
Chan'er also tried to move forward but encountered the same situation and stopped at the six hundredth level.
Shui Han left the six hundredth level, but her speed was comparable to a snail's. It took a very, very long time for her to reach the six hundred and first level. However, by this time, she knew that Mo Qi had already left her far behind.
Initially, she had intentionally held back, letting Mo Qi surge ahead, but later, even though she wanted to catch up to Mo Qi, she couldn't.
In the final analysis, Mo Qi had won through sheer strength.
She couldn't help but sigh: It really is him, truly extraordinary.
At this moment, the one accompanying Mo Qi was still Min Xiaorong.
Both of them were inwardly startled: How far can she (he) go?
Unknowingly, the competition of the world had turned into a competition between two people!
Even though they appeared calm on the surface, they were already fiercely competing in their hearts.
Min Xiaorong looked at Mo Qi. "You've reached the six hundredth level. You've already qualified. I don't think you need to force yourself anymore. There's no need to continue forward."
Mo Qi turned his head to look at Min Xiaorong. "Then why are you still persevering? I find it very strange. From the beginning, you seemed to be struggling, as if every step was incredibly difficult. Why did you persist until here? Are you hiding your strength?"
"Where am I hiding my strength? I'm the same as you. I've been pushing myself, and I've pushed myself to this point. Am I not amazing?" Min Xiaorong laughed.
Mo Qi said, "Then I truly admire your perseverance. Can you stop holding back and unleash your full potential? I want to see your true strength."
Min Xiaorong shook her head. "This is already my true strength."
It was indeed as she said. Below the six hundredth level, she hadn't fully exerted herself and had been advancing with suppressed strength. After the six hundredth level, she was indeed giving her all.
The two of them continued to advance side-by-side, evenly matched.
Min Xiaorong became increasingly shocked because she felt that the Mo Qi she had initially known was not the real Mo Qi. As time went on, his true form was gradually revealed.
He always seemed weak, but the more they compared, the stronger he became.
They had now reached the seven hundredth level, and he still showed no signs of stopping. Would he not rest until he reached the very peak?
Min Xiaorong felt a little uneasy: Could I reach the peak?
At this moment, Xiao Ling was about to reach the six hundredth level. He tremblingly extended his hand, almost touching the sixth hundredth step, but his stamina was at its limit, and he could no longer climb.
"Help me." Xiao Ling looked at Ji Zhuo, his eyes filled with longing.
At this moment, if someone gently pulled him, he would complete the assessment.
"Okay, I'll help you." Ji Zhuo stepped forward, extended his foot, and kicked Xiao Ling down. "I'll help you get down."
Then, Xiao Ling's unwilling scream pierced the sky, and Ji Zhuo's unrestrained laughter echoed through heaven and earth.
Finally, Shui Han stopped at the six hundred and fiftieth level, unable to move any further.
Meanwhile, Mo Qi and Min Xiaorong had reached the seven hundred and fiftieth level and were charging towards the highest point!
People all over the world were stunned.
The Heavenly Emperor was also greatly shocked. He had known this brat was unusual before, but now he realized this brat was simply not human!
In previous tests, no one had ever surpassed the seven hundredth level.
Today, not only had someone surpassed the seven hundredth level, but they were directly charging towards the eight hundredth level.
Moreover, two people had surpassed the seven hundredth level today. This was simply defying the heavens!
Who was that young girl? How had she never been noticed before?
