not just about personality, but more of a perception, a realm. The essence of this demon clan is autumn itself!"As Lü Lun spoke those words, his eyes turned to look toward the distance.In the distanc...The deal that took place between Huang Yongfeng and the sacrificial priest, remained a secret known only to the two of them.

While the priest's face remained calm throughout, showing no abnormality, it seemed as if he had said or done nothing at all.

Aoyagi also only glanced at the sacrifice before turning his gaze back to Kyo, who was waiting for his answer.

Since there was already a promise of sacrifice, he naturally had the confidence now. His face returned to normal and he sneered coldly: "Jiang Yun, our bet is thirty steps. Now you're still three short. Wait until you finish all of them, and then we can talk about whether I lost."

Huang Yongfeng's answer sounded to everyone like the desperate struggle of someone unwilling to admit defeat.

Now it's obvious to everyone that while Ginger Cloud still lacks three more steps, he has already taken twenty-seven, yet there isn't a single change in his entire being.

Even stepping up or down one step is like entering a new, more difficult challenge. But given his current state, even if he risked serious injury, he would definitely be able to finish the last three steps.

"Haha, Lord Huang is right. It's indeed Jiang who is a bit impatient!"

Ginger Cloud let out a chuckle and turned back, continuing to stride towards the twenty-eight steps.

"Bang!"

Jiang Yun's foot landed on the twenty-eighth step, emitting a dull thud.

And as that voice rang out, it was as if a mechanism had been triggered.

A sudden change!

Just then, within the Five Peaks of Da荒, another massive storm burst forth, roaring with earth-shattering fury, and wildly swept outwards.

At the same time, a force of rebound far stronger than before surged directly into Ginger Cloud's body from within the steps.

"Boom boom boom!"

Before Qiang Xian set foot on the Five Peaks of the Vast Wilderness, a storm had occurred once. After that, no one else encountered it again.

I didn't expect there to be another storm now, and this time the storm is much stronger than the last one.

Wherever the storm passed, the platform became like water, with ripples forming.

Every ripple is a vast fissure, within which countless shards of stone fly outwards in all directions.

This sudden change took everyone by surprise, and they hurriedly circulated their energy to resist.

As for Huang Junyan and the others, although they were not afraid of this storm, their faces also showed a look of confusion.

It seems even they didn't expect such a change in the Five Peaks of Dahuang.

"Hmph, someone is meddling and intentionally provoking the power within the Five Peaks of Dahua. They clearly aim to prevent Jiang Yun from winning this bet."

Lu Lun's voice suddenly echoed in Lu Piao Miao's mind.

Of all people present, only he, the spirit of the reincarnation clan's holy artifact, reacted fastest and knew most clearly.

Lü Piaomiao's heart also suddenly jolted, "Could it be the spirit of the sacred artifact of the Barbarian Clan"

Under so many watchful eyes, they believed only a spirit could secretly tamper with the sacred relic.

However, Lü Lun shook his head and said, "It's not a spirit weapon. Within the Five Peaks of Dahuang, there is no such thing as a spirit weapon!"

Then, Lü Ze coldly said from the side, "That could only be a sacrifice!"

Members of each clan are responsible for presiding over and managing sacred objects, so after Lü Lun said this, Lü Ze made a judgment.

However, although the three of them knew the truth, as outsiders, they couldn't possibly help Jiang Yun at this time, so they could only watch how Jiang Yun would cope.

Regardless of others' reactions, Ginger Cloud at this moment was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of this storm.

Especially the powerful forces contained within the storm nearly caused his body to be directly shaken out of these five peaks of Dahuang.

This caused his face to change drastically. He didn't even have time to think, his mind racing, he reacted incredibly fast and pointed like a blade towards the connection between his body and the steps, slashing with a single finger.

Taoism, love separation pain!

This point, Ginger Cloud cut was the connection between the storm and himself. Although he didn't know if it would be useful, it was the only way he could think of now.

Luckily, the Daoist arts work!

With a single finger severing the connection, Jiang Yun's body, which had been trembling violently, instantly returned to calmness.

And within his body, the golden Vajra markings that had been coiled and ready, surged forth, covering him entirely!

As Huang Junyan and others speculated, for the first nine steps, Jiang Yun relied on his physical strength. For the next nine steps, he relied on the fusion of his physical body and his Dao body. For the final twenty-seven steps, he used golden thunder to neutralize the force of repulsion.

Now that he's reached forty-nine, Jiang Yun has activated his Vajra Demon Body!

Ginger Cloud's habit had always been to lay his cards on the table one by one. So, even before observing others climbing the five peaks of this desolate wasteland and gauging their states, he had already devised a countermeasure.

Moreover, Ginger had a sense of familiarity during the climbing process!

This familiarity isn't because these Wu Feng Peaks are the very same as the Five Peaks of Inquiry. It's because the process of climbing these sacred objects is strikingly similar to my own experience traversing the Inverse Demon Bridge in the Luo Family back then.

On the Reverse Demon Bridge, every hundred zhang, the attacks from demonic energy would increase significantly.

Because of the experience gained from successfully crossing the 逆妖橋 in the past, Jiang Yun's grasp on climbing these five peaks of the wilderness was also very confident.

Compared to before, his current strength is leaps and bounds ahead. He has truly become a strong contender, so climbing up the ranks is much easier for him than others.

As soon as the Arhat Diamond Body manifested, although the storm raged around him, even whipping Jiang Yun's hair into a frenzy, his body remained straight and upright.

Just like a sharp blade plunged deep into the five peaks of the wilderness, motionless!

However, Gingercloud's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the steps beneath his feet, a thoughtful expression in his gaze. And under this contemplation, he raised his foot once more and took another step forward.

"Bang!"

The 29th step!

"Boom!"

Just as Ginger Cloud's foot was about to step onto this staircase, the entire Wu Peak of Five Desolates Mountains roared with a deafening sound.

Another indescribable surge of immense power erupted from within the mountain peak, transforming into a tempestuous force that swept through this vast expanse.

"Bang bang bang!"

A massive platform, capable of holding tens of thousands of people, began to shatter under the influence of this storm. Huge cracks spread wildly in all directions.

To such an extent that all those standing on the platform had to hurriedly rise into the air, yet as soon as they reached the sky, they immediately plummeted back to the ground.

It wasn't that they wanted to fall, but rather there was a pressure upon them like the might of heaven, forcibly pressing their bodies down.

Even the spectators in the stands, those with weaker cultivation bases, were affected by the roar of the Five Peaks of Desolation. The sound alone caused blood to flow from their ears and fear contorted their faces.

Fortunately, at this time, Hou Junyan and Lao Hou looked at each other and both let out a cold snort softly. A powerful aura rose from their bodies.

Their breath wasn't in opposition to the Qi of the Five Peaks of Wilderness, but rather stabilized the entire space and protected those observing.

After all, these people came to observe the Grand Competition of the Wilderness Tribe's military prowess. They are guests from afar. If we were to let them all die here, the Wilderness Tribe would immediately become the target of everyone's ire.

Although they no longer had to worry about their own safety, everyone looked at each other in stunned silence, the fear on their faces replaced by deep confusion.
