Chapter 697 Duan Ziyan's Persistence
Ye Yunfan continued to move forward and reached the 96,000th floor. Here he actually saw some bones left after being burned. It must be that someone tried to reach the top by force, but was finally burned because he could not resist the power of the ladder.
After reaching the 97,000th floor, Ye Yunfan's cultivation broke through to the peak of the semi-god, but he was not happy because he saw a pile of bones. They were the Tyrant's War Bones, his father's body bones.
"Father..."
Ye Yunfan was filled with grief and indignation. It was obvious that his father had fallen, and judging from the situation, it should have happened within ten years. At this moment, he regretted why he did not come earlier, so that his father would not force it.
The temperature here was too high, and the corpse could be melted quickly, but the Tyrant's War Bones were not so easy to melt.
"Father, why don't you retreat and go to the top!" He was in a depressed mood and was somewhat shocked, but the height of the ladder prevented him from thinking about it.
He adjusted his mentality, put away Ye Batian's War Bones, and continued to move forward.
Just after going forward 500 floors, she unexpectedly found another person, a woman in yellow, the same person she saw in the folded space.
"Fairy Linglong?"
At this moment, she was weakly meditating on the stairs to recover, and she was no longer able to move forward.
Seeing Ye Yunfan's arrival, she didn't seem surprised at all. "You are finally here. Maybe only you can pass the person at the top."
"Senior, you are very exhausted. Don't force yourself. I don't want you to become a corpse on this ladder like my father."
Ye Yunfan said with a little sadness.
"Is your father Ye Batian? Alas, I advised him, but he was determined to force his way onto the ladder." Fairy Linglong said with some regret.
"It's my fault that I came late. Senior, you should rest well here. I will continue to move forward." Ye Yunfan gave some instructions and prepared to leave.
Fairy Linglong nodded, just told him to be careful, and didn't stop him. Instead, she was very optimistic about him.
When Ye Yunfan reached the 98,000th floor, he was also struggling. The gravity on his body was a thousand times greater, which was too much of a burden on his body.
Even his demigod-level body, which had been refined by divine blood, could not bear it. Every step was very difficult. The most terrible thing was the scorching temperature, which was about to burn his body.
When he reached the 99,000th floor, Ye Yunfan actually saw someone he never wanted to see again.
"Duan Ziyan..."
The woman he loved the most, but also the one who hurt him the most, was now seen here.
Ye Yunfan roared, startling Duan Ziyan in front of him. At this time, she had reached the 99,300th floor, which was really amazing.
Resisting the strong gravity, Ye Yunfan approached her step by step.
"Huh? Is it you? This aura is very similar. You actually came here again? So fast?" Duan Ziyan really couldn't believe how long it took to reach the same realm as her.
At this moment, it was difficult for her to take another step. Each time she crossed a ladder, she needed seven days of rest and adjustment to completely offset the consumption of her body.
Ye Yunfan was better than her now. He could cross a ladder in two days, and soon caught up with Duan Ziyan's level.
His eyes were cold, and there was no ripple in his eyes.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"No need to talk nonsense. We have become mortal enemies. No matter what our relationship was before, it has long disappeared.
But now is not the time to settle the grudge. I think you want to climb to the top when you come to this position. After the matter of the ladder is resolved, I will give you a chance to revenge, and we will fight to the death."
Duan Ziyan's eyes were without any emotion. Since she sacrificed her love and chastity to save Duan Tianhen and the Western Regions, she has completely abandoned the so-called emotions and become a cold-blooded person.
Although Ye Yunfan's appearance made her eyes spark for a moment, it was soon extinguished. When she first met Ye Yunfan, she also loved him sincerely.
What she paid was also true love, but Ye Yunfan at that time could not protect all of this, so she had to do it. Maybe this was fate. She also knew that if she continued like this, she would always be under threat.
So she could only make herself stronger and stronger. Others could not protect her, so she could only rely on herself and make herself infinitely strong, strong enough to control her own destiny without having to look at other people's faces.
This is also the reason why she worked hard to practice. When she reached the realm, she resolutely went to the True Immortal Realm, because she knew that the realm of the Immortal Emperor was far from the end of practice. If she wanted to get rid of it, she had to break through the unknown.
The cultivation level that the man who threatened her could achieve, she believed that she could also cultivate to it as long as she worked hard. After entering the True Immortal Realm, she crossed the long river, crossed the God Road, and climbed the ladder to heaven.
She spent many years on the ladder to heaven. Here she also saw many geniuses killed by the ladder to heaven. Some were eager for success, some fought each other, some fell down, some were crushed by gravity, and some were burned to ashes by the scorching temperature.
Is all this her fault?
Wrong! Of course, she did. She sacrificed her beloved for her father and herself, which was betrayal.
But at the same time, she was also a pitiful person, a pitiful person chosen by fate.
She knew that she and Ye Yunfan could never go back to the past, and they would only fight to the death in the future, but she didn't want to die now. She still wanted to practice and climb to a higher place, and wanted to tear off the ugly mask of the man who insulted her.
Ye Yunfan did not expect that she would become so indifferent now. The betrayal in the past did not make her feel the slightest guilt. He was curious about what Duan Ziyan had experienced that made her change so much.
"Okay! I promise you, we will have a life-and-death showdown after the ladder is over, and our grudges will be settled at that time."
Ye Yunfan also wants to climb the ladder. If he fights Duan Ziyan here, the two of them will probably be swallowed up by the power of the ladder in an instant.
Three years later, Ye Yunfan reached the 99,900th floor, while Duan Ziyan was still on the 99,600th floor. At this time, she was already very uncomfortable and it was difficult for her to take a step forward.
Ye Yunfan, on the other hand, spent seven days adjusting before taking a step forward and crossing the ladder. It was obvious that both of them were close to the limit, and the clothes on their bodies were already burning.
The temperature was too hot, especially where Ye Yunfan was. He felt like he was being burned in a furnace.
He raised his head and looked at the top, which was only a hundred feet away. He wanted to take one more step and cross it, but in reality it was as difficult as climbing to the sky. One step seemed to use up all his strength.
The weight of the gravity on the ladder made all the bones in his body creak, and as he continued to move forward, his entire body began to twist.
Ye Yunfan held on with his last breath and reached the 99,960th floor, which was very close to the end.
Duan Ziyan's willpower completely exceeded Ye Yunfan's surprise. Her body was already burning, but she did not stop and still forced herself to the 99,700th floor.
All the clothes on her body were burned except for one defensive weapon, and this defensive weapon was about to reach its limit. If Duan Ziyan continued to move forward, even the clothes on this last defensive weapon would be burned.
But she didn't hesitate at all. No matter what, even if her life was in danger, she remained determined.
"What kind of belief supports her without hesitation?"
Ye Yunfan was very puzzled as to why a woman was so desperate and what exactly was she fighting for.
