There were only a few people scattered within the thirty-meter radius of the white jade stairs. They were all heaven-stage martial warriors.

Further back at the sixty-meter radius were cosmos-stage martial warriors, about dozens of them.

Some of them couldn’t imagine how Wang Teng was hanging on. He was just a planetary-stage martial warrior, yet he could withstand the overwhelming pressure and make it seem like he was doing it with ease. He was still walking up the stairs step by step.

The most important thing was that they were feeling the disturbance in their spirits. If they didn’t step back, their spirit would be affected by the murmurs and descend into chaos.

This was absolutely fatal to most martial warriors. If one’s spirit collapsed, no matter how strong the martial warrior’s body was, it would be just an empty shell.

Most of these martial warriors’ spirits were ordinary. They wouldn’t be able to withstand the spiritual disturbance from the stairs.

In such a situation, Wang Teng reached the middle of the jade stairs after about ten minutes.

More and more runes lit up. If you counted them, you would realize that there were about nine hundred of them branded on the surface of the white jade stairs. It was a dazzling scene.

Many nobles in front of the palace were shocked and had solemn expressions.

“Nine hundred runes, and he’s only halfway through. This Wang Teng is not simple, really not simple!” Duke Situ spoke again with a trace of shock in his voice.

“I remember the Cavendish family’s record is 2,380 runes. I don’t know what number Wang Teng will reach,” Borla said with a strange color on his face.

Initially, he was entrusted by Di Qi to take care of Wang Teng a little. He felt that Di Qi had great insight.

Wang Teng’s talents were worthy of the Cavendish family’s investment.

“The Parkers family’s record is 2,503 runes. I’ll see if he can break it,” Valteru said with a gloomy expression.

“Hehe, you Parkers have nothing but a stronger body. It’s just a small advantage.” Borla snickered.

“Legitimacy belongs to the victor. The Cavendish family is inferior to us.” Valteru didn’t back down.

“The record for the Great Qian Empire is around 2,800. It was left by a prince,” another grand duke spoke.

This was the Jiang family, which ranked fifth amongst the eight dukes and had great influence.

“That’s right. This record was left by that amazing and brilliant prince. No one has been able to break it after so many years. Even the descendants of the War Demon Hall who visited us could only reach 2,750 runes,” a member of the Ji family spoke up too.

“The talent of that prince was really amazing. He’s already at the pinnacle of the universe’s younger generation. Only the heirs of the great powers could compare to him. This Wang Teng is nothing,” Valteru exclaimed.

“Hahaha. That’s true. No one could compare to the prince,” a member of the Jiang family said.

Guarded by the eight dukes was a person dressed in a purple and golden robe who sat in the center. His aura was restrained and there were no fluctuations. He seemed like a normal person. However, his presence stood out too much. It was noble yet terrifying.

This person was a member of the empire’s imperial family. His status was respected, and his strength was unfathomable.

From the beginning till the end, he had his eyes closed as if he was indifferent to everything in the outside world. The discussions of the crowd entered his ears, but he didn’t move. He continued resting.

“Why is he stopping?” someone suddenly asked in surprise.

It turned out Wang Teng suddenly stopped and stood still after he was halfway through.

“He probably can’t stand it.” Valteru sneered.

“Looks like this is his limit. He has to stop and rest.” The Jiang family member shook his head and sighed.

They were just thinking that Wang Teng had potential. They didn’t know that he would fail just like that. It looked like all that glittered was not gold.

“It can’t be. He doesn’t look like he has reached his limit.” Borla was doubtful.

…

“There are actually attribute bubbles?!” Wang Teng looked at the stairs in front of him with great curiosity. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He stopped. It wasn’t because he had reached his limit. It was solely because the attribute bubbles were ‘blocking’ his path.

He was walking happily without feeling any challenge and attribute bubbles appeared on the stairs suddenly just like that.

This was amazing!

Wang Teng had never seen attribute bubbles appearing like this.

“Let’s see what we have here.” Wang Teng was filled with curiosity and collected the three attribute bubbles in front of him.

Godslayer Sword Scripture*10

…

“This!” In the next moment, waves of astonishment surged in his heart.

The three attribute bubbles merged with his mind like a trace of cold air and turned into an extremely powerful battle technique.

It wasn’t quite accurate to call it a battle technique, but it wasn’t a scripture either!

This was a god scripture that consisted of battle techniques and scriptures!

The reason why Wang Teng was shocked was that the god scripture was of the space element!

A space element god scripture!

Wang Teng suddenly felt the joy of having a treasure falling into his lap. It was too unexpected, too delightful!

The god scripture turned into rays of light and shadows as they danced around in Wang Teng’s mind.

The light and shadows finally merged into one and turned into a human figure. With a point of its finger, the power of space condensed around it. Countless sword glows rose behind it and swept through the sky, rupturing the space into nothingness.

The sword glows swept around as if they were annihilating constellations. The void shook and a galaxy collapsed…

What kind of power was that!

Wang Teng returned to his senses and was gasping for air uncontrollably. Even his back was drenched in sweat.

That sword was too horrifying. Even he was terrified. It was as if he was experiencing it himself, like he was about to be annihilated.

But it then turned into joy. Such a powerful god scripture belonged to him now.

What was a god scripture?

Wang Teng didn’t understand it initially. However, as the attribute bubbles merged into his mind, he understood why they were called god scriptures.

God scripture, as the name implied, was a battle technique and scripture that could allow anyone to reach the realm of the gods. It was the greatest legacy in the universe.

Moreover, this god scripture belonged to the space element. It was even rarer.

The origin of the Godslayer Sword Scripture was incredible as well. It was left behind by the ancestor who founded the Great Qian Empire and was engraved on the white jade stairs.

The ancestor of the Great Qian Empire was a space-element martial warrior!

The role of the white jade stairs seemed to be testing one’s talent. However, in reality, it was used to pass down this space god scripture.

It was a pity that after so many years, no one managed to retrieve it. There was no one with space talent even amongst the descendants of the founder.

But now, it made things easier for Wang Teng.

How timely! I was worried about having no space-element battle techniques to use, and they gave me a god scripture. This system is so understanding. Wang Teng smiled and praised the system deeply in his heart.

He obtained a god scripture just by climbing stairs. Was there anything better than this?

If the Empire’s nobles knew about this, they would be livid. He had obtained the Great Qian Empire’s greatest legacy. He would probably be sliced into pieces.

No one knew if the founder of the Great Qian Empire was still alive. Countless years had passed since then. Logically, he would have been dead long ago.

However, eternal-stage martial warriors were immortal and eternal. It was said that the founder was a terrifying existence that was above the eternal stage. He would probably be hiding in some corner secretly watching his descendants. After all, old men loved to peep…
