He was goin...Ye Bufan said, “To go home, I will do everything in my power, but there is one thing I want to ask you.”

Yiluo Xiang was also an extremely intelligent woman, immediately understanding his meaning: "Rest assured, as long as I'm here, no one can touch them a single finger."

"Alright, I'm going now."

After saying goodbye to Ye Bufan, Ge Shuangshuang and the others, he asked them to wait for him here, then strode towards the staircase leading to the Dragon King's Palace.

Seeing him truly about to ascend to the Dragon King's Hall, everyone present was first shocked, then a surge of hope arose.

All those trapped here were once citizens of the Xia kingdom. Whether warriors or commoners, they all yearn to return to their former homeland.

They had been here year after year, but saw no hope. Although they guessed the exit was inside the Dragon King's Palace, so many people had died trying before, that no one dared to attempt it anymore.

Yet this young man, upon entering the Dragon King's Hall, slew Han Tianlong's brothers and one of the Four Great Divine Dragons Protectors, Ouyang De. Afterward, he effortlessly challenged the Dragon God List, creating one miracle after another.

And because of this, they all saw hope again, expecting Ye Bufan to create another miracle and find their way home.

Ye Bufan came to the bottom of the Dragon King's Palace. Looking up, this palace was taller and more magnificent than those on other islands, giving people an extremely awe-inspiring feeling.

Beside stood a ladder reaching to the heavens, extending far beyond sight.

Standing here, the feeling of summons in his heart grew stronger, urging him to quickly climb the ladder and ascend to the Dragon King's Hall.

"Hey handsome, be careful on that ladder. It's pretty steep."

Before I received the inheritance of the Dragon Queen's Palace, I also tried coming here. I reached the 18th floor and was blasted down. At that time, I spent a month lying in bed and almost lost my life.

Lei Hufa Xie Changsi followed up, "All of us brothers have tried to challenge it, but we fared worse than Xiangfei. We couldn't even get past the 18th layer. Luckily, we all managed to keep our lives."

Ye Bufan nodded. For the sake of returning home, for his family, even if this was a sea of swords and fire, he would forge ahead bravely.

Taking a deep breath, he circulated his true energy to its optimal state. With a gentle touch, he stepped onto the first rung of the Heavenly Ladder.

Strangely enough, the moment his toes touched the first rung of the ladder, a tremendous pressure came crashing down on him, as if a mountain had been placed upon his shoulders.

Ye Bufan circulated his true qi, dissolving the pressure.

, then stepped onto the second rung of the ladder.

Under everyone's gaze, he climbed higher and higher, soon reaching the 10th floor.

He had just stepped onto the 10th floor when a sudden breeze swept through. Though it appeared insignificant, a sense of immense danger surged within him.

Divine sense swept across, this was not a gentle breeze, but an extremely sharp wind blade. Every whirlwind was like a sharp blade, sweeping towards him.

Ye Bufan extended his right hand, the Dragon's Fang appearing in his palm. The blade flashed, instantly severing the wind blades before him.

With divine awareness, one can accurately grasp the location of each wind blade and effortlessly handle them.

He paused for no breath, and stepped onto the next level.

He found that with each step forward, the power of the wind blades increased. By the time he reached the 19th floor, a raging storm had engulfed him. The howling wind blades surged like an unstoppable tide, covering the sky and earth.

No wonder Yi Luo Xiang was blasted down when she stepped onto the 18th floor and seriously injured. This intensity of wind blades is completely beyond the capacity of ordinary people to withstand.

Fortunately, he had his divine consciousness and the formidable artifact known as Dragon's Tooth, which allowed him to withstand the attack.

Below the ladder, the onlookers saw him break through Iroko's injured 18th layer and reach the 19th layer. They couldn't help but cheer. Now this young man carries the hope of all of them going home.

Finally, he stepped onto the 20th floor. The howling wind blades around his ears instantly vanished, replaced by a wave of scorching heat.

Having fought the Four Heavenly Kings, he already had experience dealing with this scorching aura.

The chaotic true qi within his body circulated, transforming into frigid air. It formed a small ice hell around him, countering the heat waves emanating from the heavenly ladder.

This made things much simpler, and in almost no time at all, he was on the 30th floor.

The moment his feet touched the ground, the heat wave vanished, replaced by a bone-chilling cold. The sudden change of hundreds of degrees made him extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I had prepared in advance. The true qi within my body circulated and once again transformed into scorching zhiyang energy.

One minute later, the 40th floor.

This seems simple, and only he can accomplish it. I'm afraid that in this world, only he possesses the chaotic true qi, a heaven-defying technique capable of transforming yin and yang.

Otherwise, people would either be burned to death or frozen to death, it's impossible to reach this height.

According to the attributes of the four great guardians of wind, snow, thunder and fire, this 40th layer should be thunder.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Attribute attacks.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs of the 40th floor, he saw a bolt of lightning, as thick as a child's arm, descend from the sky and strike him directly.

Ye Bufan's heart moved, and the Tianlei Bead appeared above his head, receiving the lightning.

Then he continued to walk upward, step by step.

The higher you climb, the thicker and denser the lightning bolts that strike from the sky become.

When they reached the 49th floor, it was a scene of raging thunder and lightning. Bolts of electricity, as thick as an adult's thigh, fell from the sky like hailstones, forming a massive curtain of lightning.

Although the thunder's roar was intimidating, it was still within the range of the Sky Thunder Orb's protection. Ye Bufan did not directly break through here, but instead sat cross-legged on the 49th step of the staircase.

The current lightning strike is ten times more powerful than Xie Changsi's Five Thunderclap Technique, and the quality is also much purer.

Moreover, within the lightning, there was a hint of an odd aura, exuding a pressure that emanated from the soul itself. It was precisely the dragon energy that the three-eyed thunder serpent had pursued for years.

At that time, when Ye Bufan first refined the Heavenly Thunder Orb, it was limited by his own cultivation level and also by the level of the three-eyed thunder snake. He could only refine low-grade magic weapons, which were relatively low in rank.

Given this excellent opportunity, he naturally wouldn't give it up. Taking advantage of the Dragon King Temple's thunder waterfall, he began refining the Sky Thunder Orb once again.

As each incantation was delivered, the Tianlei Bead began to absorb the wisps of dragon energy within the lightning, slowly turning a pale gold. Then the color deepened, and the gold grew richer and more intense.

Suddenly, a "crack" echoed from within the Tianlei Pearl. A brilliant golden light burst forth, instantly sweeping away the lightning that had descended from the void and absorbing it completely.

"It's done."

Ye Bufan's heart surged with joy. With the nourishment of dragon energy and lightning, the Tianlei Orb at this moment was a purple-gold color, shrinking to half its previous size. However, the power of thunder and lightning it contained had increased by hundreds or even thousands of times, reaching the level of a superior spirit treasure. It was only one step away from becoming a divine weapon.

Below the ladder, people were all on edge when they saw Ye Bufan being engulfed by the thunderous waterfall. They were terrified of losing their last hope.

And at this moment, as the thunder and lightning vanished, that tall figure reappeared before their eyes. Only then did the people put their hearts back in their chests.

Ye Bufan excitedly put away the Heavenly Thunder Orb and walked up the Heaven Ladder again, his feet stepping onto the 50th floor.

Oddly enough, there was no reaction this time, everything was calm and still, even the previous pressure had vanished.

(The End)un or continue fighting, their hearts filled with turmoil.But Ye Bufan didn't give them a chance to consider at all. With a silent spin of the dark moon, both of their heads flew high into the air.Thr...
