Chapter 145 What kind of monsters are these?
There are a total of thirty-six platforms on the Asahi Staircase, all of which are called Asahi Platforms.
Jiang Yuan and the others did not set up thirty-six trials for Gu Yan.
In their estimation, Gu Yan was at most at the level of a Spirit King.
They set up sixteen levels, all feeling they were giving Gu Yan too much credit. Those Spirit Emperor realm cultivators were only guarding the levels because they wanted to beat Gu Yan up. They imagined Gu Yan crawling pitifully to them, and then they'd let out a cold snort:
"Kid, if you can withstand three of my moves, I'll let you pass."
Who knew Gu Yan was so perverted?
Gu Yan's strength has completely exceeded their imagination.
A Spirit Venerable! He's actually at the early stage of the Spirit Venerable realm!!
Impossible, this is impossible!!
Jiang Yuan, Jiang Ye, Jiang Qi, Jiang Man, and other geniuses almost had their Dao hearts collapse; they even doubted whether they were dreaming. However, this was not a dream; it was real.
This unprecedented prodigy stood right before them. Deeply shaken, these once-proud sons and daughters of heaven were immediately filled with a fierce competitive spirit.
Those who hadn't originally planned to participate now stood on the platform atop the Heavenly Staircase with remarkable coordination. Beams of light fell upon the suspended Sunrise Platform, awaiting Gu Yan's arrival.
The guard of the seventeenth pass is the nineteenth prince, Jiang Kong.
Jiang Kong was at the early stage of the Spirit Venerable Realm. He wore a silver armor with a golden crow totem on it. He held a long spear in his hand, and his long, black hair was tied into a long ponytail that hung down his back.
He watched Gu Yan walk up the steps and ascend the seventeen sunrise platforms. He pointed his gun at Gu Yan and said coldly:
"You have indeed surprised me, but don't think you, you little bastard, can..."
Before Jiang Kong could finish speaking, Gu Yan was already ten steps away in front of him. Wind and Thunder Wings appeared behind Gu Yan, crackling with purple lightning, greatly increasing his speed. With the Wind and Thunder Wings and the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning amplifying his power, Jiang Kong was completely unable to defend himself and was kicked away by Gu Yan.
Gu Yan's kick was extremely powerful, sending Jiang Kong flying hundreds of feet away, crashing through a floating palace that collapsed with a loud bang.
Gu Yan held the Tai'a sword, which instantly split into millions of swords. These millions of flying swords shot out in a burst towards the palace where Jiang Kong had fallen. Then, he released millions of golden fist imprints from a distance.
In just a few breaths, Jiang Kong, who was at the same level as Gu Yan, was beaten so badly that he vomited blood.
Looking at Jiang Kong, who was unable to get up again, Gu Yan said, "I don't like being called a little bastard."
Then, an even stronger aura erupted from his body, and he transformed into a streak of lightning, rushing towards the platform of the eighteenth level, which was higher up.
Standing there was a spirited woman, who was also at the early stage of the Spirit Venerable realm. This woman was the daughter of the deceased Fifth Prince, a princess with the title Zhaoming.
Although Princess Zhaoming was also at the early stage of the Spirit Venerable realm, her combat power was stronger than that of her uncle, Jiang Kong.
But she hadn't expected that her nineteenth uncle would be defeated so quickly, severely injured in just a few breaths. Seeing Gu Yan soaring towards her, she leaped into the air.
She shone with golden light, like a sun, and then a longbow appeared in her hand, which she aimed at Gu Yan below.
Gu Yan sped up the Sunrise Staircase, and when he looked up, he saw Princess Zhaoming shoot an arrow at him. The arrow burst forth with dazzling light, as if the surrounding light was absorbed by the arrow, and the world dimmed for a moment, but the arrow became even more dazzling.
Within this radiance, there is a golden crow.
The three-legged golden crow grew larger and larger until it reached Gu Yan, resembling a gigantic sun a thousand feet tall. This giant sun seemed to have fallen from the sky, ready to burn and destroy everything.
Faced with this attack, Gu Yan's Tai'a sword emitted a dazzling immortal light. The immortal light surged, and the sword energy transformed into a thousand-foot-long sword shadow that cleaved the giant sun in two with a deafening roar.
What?!
Princess Zhaoming couldn't believe that Gu Yan had so easily cleaved her strongest attack with a single sword strike.
The terrifying sword energy and the shockwave from the exploding giant sun instantly destroyed hundreds of thousands of steps in the air. As the shockwave spread outwards, the golden crow totems on the buildings seemed to come alive, crowing and dissipating the shockwave.
The destroyed steps turned into golden mist, but soon the golden mist condensed again into a translucent amber-like golden staircase.
Using the speed provided by the Wind and Thunder Wings and the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, Gu Yan instantly appeared behind Princess Zhaoming and kicked her down hard without any mercy.
boom!
Princess Zhaoming smashed through the newly formed staircase, causing her to fall and fall until she crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.
boom!
The ground shook violently.
Everyone was shocked to see Gu Yan defeat two opponents of the same level so easily.
What kind of divine artifact are those wings behind him? And what kind of divine artifact is the sword in his hand? These don't belong to the Tianyang royal family, so where did he get them?
After kicking Princess Zhaoming, Gu Yan continued rushing upwards. She raced along the steps, but before reaching the nineteenth level, a pair of twins attacked her. The twins, named Jiang Mo and Jiang Yu, were both grandsons of the emperor.
"Don't get cocky, you little bastard!!"
The two of them ganged up on Gu Yan, who then unleashed the Twenty-Four Constellation Banner, trapping the twins. Even a late-stage peak Spirit Venerable like Dugu Yue would find the Twenty-Four Constellation Banner difficult to deal with, let alone Jiang Mojia and Jiang Yu, who were only at the early stage of the Spirit Venerable realm.
After trapping the two men with the Twenty-Four Constellation Flags, Gu Yan beat them up and threw them down the Sunrise Staircase before continuing onward.
Inside the Lieyang Palace, countless people stared in disbelief as he charged up the mountain, all the way to the thirty-fifth Sunrise Platform.
His opponents increased from one to several, but they still couldn't stop Gu Yan.
Gu Yan possessed an overwhelming number of magical treasures. As they fought their way up, these immortal artifacts and treasures appeared one after another, dazzling the onlookers.
However, it was only because his magical power was profound, far exceeding that of others of the same level, and his recovery speed was fast, that he was able to withstand this consumption.
When he was forced into marriage by Dugu Yue, he forcibly broke through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement stage. Afterwards, he discovered that his body had undergone some changes. Every time his mana was greatly depleted, the speed of recovery would also increase dramatically.
If it were a battle against a Spirit Saint, even if the ability to recover mana were ten times stronger than before, it would be difficult to defeat them. However, at the Spirit Venerable level, even facing a group attack would not be a problem.
If it weren't for his rapid recovery of magical power, even with so many magical treasures, he would have been defeated long ago.

The thirty-sixth Asahi Observatory.
boom!
Several figures were blasted away together. Princess Jiang Yuan, the seventeenth princess, had disheveled hair and her fan was broken. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she stared in disbelief at Gu Yan, who was walking towards her step by step. What the hell are these monsters?
He's only at the early stage of the Spirit Venerable realm!
He was a late-stage peak Spirit Venerable, and had so many guards, yet... yet...
What kind of monster is he?!
Won't his magical power run out?
