they all backed away.Ye Bufan scanned the little boy with his divine sense. He was enveloped in a grayish aura, infected with an unknown virus, which should be the special plague that Andrew mentioned..."No, I can do it myself."

Yiro Xiang stubbornly said, "You adding a burden on me doesn't change the pressure I already have. It doesn't make any difference."

In fact, this is true. Even if Ye Bufan carried Yieroxiang on his back, it only relieved some physical pressure. But it didn't change the pressure on his true essence and mental energy at all.

"Well then."

Yè Bú Fán once again grasped Yī Luó Xiāng's hand in his own palm, then transmitted his abundant true essence into her.

Chaos gives birth to all things, and chaotic true qi also contains the attributes of various true elements, so the two are not contradictory.

With Ye Bufan's true qi source, Yi Luo Xiang instantly felt her pressure lessened a lot. The two continued to move forward.

But it turned out that these efforts could only provide a temporary reprieve, and as they climbed higher, the pressure they faced grew increasingly intense.

After climbing a dozen more steps, Yi Luo Xiang's clothes were completely soaked through with sweat. Each step she took felt like carrying an immense weight, as if a mountain was pressing down on her whole body.

But she was an extremely stubborn woman, not uttering a word, only desperately urging her true energy.

But as the pressure increased, the flow of true essence within them slowed down, becoming as sluggish as a snail's pace. The power they could provide was pitiful at best.

Ye Bufan, with his physical prowess, fared a little better. But his true essence was also dwindling. Even though he desperately channeled it into Yi Luo Xiang's body, it only provided a slight reprieve.

After climbing another step, the beads of sweat from Illiora's body dripped onto her feet. Her whole body trembled, and her legs shook violently. She had reached her absolute limit.

"How about we take a break for a while"

Ye Bufan felt truly heartbroken seeing her like this.

"No, once we stop at this place, we'll never be able to leave."

Iroha's mind was still very clear. On these stone steps, if she stopped, she would never think of taking a second step.

A flicker of stubbornness crossed her eyes, and then she raised her leg again and stepped forward. But every centimeter she lifted her foot cost an immense amount of effort.

I could see the next level was just a hair's breadth away, but that tiny distance felt like an unbridgeable chasm. No matter how hard I tried, my feet wouldn't budge any further.

"Ah!"

Yiluo Xiang let out a reluctant growl, desperately running the true essence within her body. Ye Bufan also gave his all in support.

And just then, a click resonated in her mind, and her aura instantly surged to a new level.

She broke through! After this ordeal, she actually broke through. Her cultivation base rose from the peak of the Void Aperture to the early stage of True Disciple.

As strength increases, the pressure on one's shoulders suddenly diminishes.

"Brother Ye, thank you!"

Yilo Xiang raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her face, looking at the man beside her with a look of delight.

Being able to raise one's cultivation level from the Void Realm to the Great Ascension in such a short time is already a worthwhile achievement, even if I can't reach the tenth floor this time.

But the one who brought all this to her was the man standing before her. If it wasn't for him bringing her to the ninth floor and his constant support, she wouldn't know when she would have broken through.

"What are you being so polite for Let's get this over with."

Their strength increased to the Great Ascension Stage, and both of them instantly became much faster. They began taking large strides forward towards the front.

But this stairway seemed to have no end, stretching endlessly ahead. I had no idea how many more steps there were, or how far I'd already come.

After advancing another hundred steps, Yi Luo Xiang was once again drenched in sweat, panting heavily. Her body had reached its limit.

Although his cultivation had reached the Great Ascension stage, it was still recent and his foundation was not yet solid. His strength could not be fully exerted.

"Brother Ye, I can't do it anymore. You go up alone, don't worry about me."

Iro finally realized she wouldn't be able to walk up all these steps.

Ye Bufan said firmly, "No, even if I have to carry you on my back, I will get you up there."

"You don't have to do that!"

Yi Luo gasped for breath and waved her hand dismissively. "Actually, I've gained a lot by coming to the Heavenly Tower this time, especially my cultivation has finally broken through the bottleneck of Dong Xu. This is more precious to me than any treasure."

Now that I've just made a breakthrough, if I push too hard, it could damage my foundation and be very detrimental to my future progress.

What do we cultivators seek treasure for Isn't it to increase our cultivation and strength

"And now, my best option is to go out and solidify my cultivation while I still have time."

""

Although Ye Bufan didn't want to give up, he also knew the other person was right.

Cultivation has just broken through. If you continue to bear such immense pressure here, it will be detrimental to the foundation and greatly hinder future progress.

"Well then, I'll find you after we get out and help you recover your memory."

"Hmm! I'll wait for you outside!"

Eiro looked at the man with a complicated expression, then reached out and crushed the teleportation jade pendant.

A flash of light passed, and he was sent out of the Sky Piercer Tower.

Ye Bufan turned his head and continued on alone. He no longer needed to take care of Yi Luo Xiang, and his speed was much faster than before. But the steps were still endless, one step after another, as if there were infinite stairs.

The most worrisome thing was that the pressure was constantly increasing. Even with his physique and cultivation, he was slowly starting to feel overwhelmed. Every step he took required tremendous effort.

"Damn it, when will this ever end"

A sense of despair arose in Ye Bufan's heart. The surroundings were eerily silent, not a sound to be heard, and there wasn't even a hint of life.

Whether looking forward or backward, it's all a gray haze, nothing can be seen.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. He had created this atmosphere to instill despair, to make people give up.

Why did the other party do this Because this staircase has an end, and it's possible to step over the last step.

Thinking about this, he felt a glimmer of hope in his heart and continued to climb upwards with difficulty.

After trudging up five or six more steps, the pressure now felt unbearable. He was bent over completely, unable to stand straight anymore.

The sea of consciousness constantly throbbed with pain, as if about to burst at any moment.

Zen Yuan, under immense pressure, has retreated to the dantian and ceased operation.

"Could it really be that we're going to fail No way, I've put in so much, I can't fail, I won't accept it!"

Ye Bufan gritted his teeth, exerting himself to the fullest, and stepped onto the next stone step.

And as soon as he stood firm, he felt a burning sensation in his chest, followed by a mouthful of blood spurting out.

It's obvious that this immense pressure has reached its limit for him.

Ye Bufan suddenly realized a problem. This staircase might have an end, but it was uncertain if his cultivation level could reach the very last step.

Where does this strange pressure come from It's intangible, impossible to grasp, yet it's constantly being felt.

"Damn it!"

Enraged beyond measure, Ye Bufan unleashed a Divine Sense blade, the last vestiges of his power.

Originally, this was just a slight vent of his despair, but unexpectedly, after the Divine Sense Blade slashed out, he suddenly felt a sense of relief throughout his body.

Although pressure is still there, it's so much less than before, it's incomparable.

This made him overjoyed, and his mind was no longer burdened with the same heavy pressure as before.

He didn't expect the Divine Consciousness Blade to be able to alleviate the pressure here. With this discovery, his speed increased drastically once again, quickly rushing up the stairs.

Finally, after crossing forty or fifty stone steps, his eyes suddenly brightened. The pressure on his body disappeared instantly, and he knew he had reached the tenth floor. of this."Ye Bufan said: "Senior Situ, I am a doctor, but helping people quickly improve their cultivation is not that easy."The reason you were able to advance from the mid-Heavenly Rank to the late...
