Another hour passed.

The black-robed figure, sweating profusely, reached the 960th step and saw Ling Feng still in place, feeling slightly relieved in his heart.

The scroll stored in the nihilistic space wasn't easy to take, and moreover, on the 999th step, every minute and second, one had to endure the incredibly terrifying soul pressure.

If it were that easy, wouldn't Queen Huanxin have already succeeded?

Time slowly ticked away.

At the last dozens of steps, the black-robed figure did not rush to ascend but began to restore his divine power; otherwise, even if he reached the final step, he wouldn't have the capital to compete with Ling Feng.

An hour!

Two hours!

...

Less than two hours remained until the test ended.

At this moment, Murong Huang, also panting heavily, reached somewhere above the 930th step, and besides him, there were also two or three scattered martial artists who had reached above the 900th step.

Overall, in terms of numbers, quite a few managed to persist this time.

Then, almost simultaneously, Ling Feng and the black-robed figure both opened their eyes.

Ling Feng curved his lips into a smile, glancing down at the black-robed figure, raising an eyebrow, standing still, seemingly waiting for the black figure.

The black-robed figure's eyelids twitched crazily; could that kid have succeeded?

The black-robed figure explosively unleashed his divine sense, madly rushing upwards. However, the remaining 30-something steps weren't easy to pass.

"Kid, even if you've taken it out, don't think you'll snatch it away!"

The black-robed figure, appearing frantic, lunged madly at Ling Feng.

The audience below, seeing the black-robed figure suddenly accelerating, were shocked, "Two hours are left, why is he sprinting? Does he want to surpass the kid ahead?"

"Impossible, although the last step is difficult to cross, it's definitely simpler than the thirty-something steps!"

"..."

The crowd burst into frantic discussion, while the black-robed figure, wildly gesticulating, shouted, "Kid, just you wait!"

Ling Feng stood his ground, beckoning the black-robed figure with a finger, chuckling, "Come on!"

"You bloody wait for me!"

The black-robed figure, panting heavily, sprinted madly.

Nine hundred sixty!

Nine hundred seventy!

Nine hundred eighty!

The black-robed figure had never felt so exhausted before, biting his teeth and charging, his entire body trembling!

Nine hundred ninety!

Nine-hundred ninety-one!

Nine-hundred ninety-two!

His eyes were fixed on Ling Feng, almost popping out of their sockets, the terrifying soul pressure soaking his garments and even oozing blood.

Finally, the black-robed figure reached the 998th step, and Ling Feng curved his lips in a smile, lightly saying, "Hey, have you ever experienced despair?"

"Huh?"

The black-robed figure hesitated, then saw Ling Feng, without any pressure, leap directly onto the last step.

The terrifying pressure vanished instantly, Ling Feng delivered a kick right to the face of the black-robed figure.

"Damn it!—"

The black-robed figure let out a final roar, as Ling Feng's kick was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

His body shook, then tumbled down the steps...do…do…do…

Though climbing up the steps was difficult, descending was…

Too easy!

The black-robed figure rolled faster and faster, then coincidentally bumped into Murong Huang.

"Oh crap!"

Murong Huang exclaimed as the two rolled together, bumping into all those contestants still struggling to hold on!

Of course, those with good luck, like Yang Huanzhi, who had sat down early to meditate, were not affected.

To climb those over nine hundred steps, the black-robed figure took nearly ten hours, yet rolling down took less than fifteen minutes.

"Quite damn spectacular!"

Ling Feng laughed heartily, feeling no guilt at all, overlooking those spinning like tops below, laughing loudly, "Old fellow, are you in despair?"

Silence enveloped the entire scene; everyone dumbly stared at this spectacle.

This kid, he's damned defying the heavens!

He dared to break the rules right under Queen Huanxin's nose!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The black-robed figure and Murong Huang along with others, fell to the ground, utterly disoriented, with multiple bone fractures, although they were king-level experts, under full resistance of soul pressure, they had no time to defend, falling down those hundreds of steps, surviving was considered lucky.

From the platform, Xiangxiang stood stunned, her mouth twitching, "Queen... What... What should we do?"

Queen Huanxin also took a deep breath, "Let's listen to what this kid has to say first!"

Elder Tianyi, who had been guarding in front of Queen Huanxin, when seeing Ling Feng finally emerge from the soul stairs, had a face full of complex emotions.

"You kid, do you know you've stirred big trouble?"

"What trouble?"

Ling Feng seemed carefree, pretending not to know, "I don't recall stirring any trouble?"

"You guy, you attacked other contestants, which isn't allowed by the rules."

Elder Tianyi patiently explained.

"I didn't; I ended my match, no longer competing, only then did I attack other contestants, is that considered a violation?"

Ling Feng raised his eyebrow, smiling as he explained.

"You..." Elder Tianyi was suddenly speechless.

This reasoning is bulletproof!

"Not only that, look at that old guy in black clothes, causing a commotion on the steps and affecting other contestants, he's the one violating rules, should be dealt with!"

Ling Feng pointed below at the black-robed figure, smiling happily.

"..."

Elder Tianyi almost felt his worldview was collapsing; what do you mean "causing a commotion", wasn't it your kick?!

From the high platform, Xiangxiang and Queen Huanxin were clearly amused by Ling Feng's reasoning; this kid was truly eloquent and persuasive!

"Queen, do you think I'm making sense?"

Ling Feng looked at Queen Huanxin, bowing slightly.

"Hmm, you have some point."

Unexpectedly, Queen Huanxin nodded, solemnly saying, "Alright, let's banish the black-robed figure from Tianhuan Island, never to enter again!"

At this time, the black-robed figure lay on the ground bewildered, suddenly hearing Queen Huanxin's judgment, spitting blood in fury, "Outrageous, absurd, utterly absurd! Queen Huanxin, is this your so-called fair test?"

"Humph, old fellow, you are originally a Human Emperor, over thirty-five years old, yet you used body seizing to compete, thinking I wouldn't see through it? I initially intended to save you some face, but since you embarrass yourself, I can only speak the truth! Quickly leave Tianhuan Island, or don't blame me for handling you with force!"

Queen Huanxin revealed a stern expression, with her Fong Mu eyes fixed on the black-robed figure, coldly saying, "Are you not leaving?"
