Chapter 1091 Spiritual Power Ladder (Please Subscribe)_1
As Xu Sheng's beautiful eyes lifted slightly, he could also vaguely make out at the very top of the Sacred Staircase there was a gate filled with rich spatial fluctuations!
Even without having been here before, he could guess the purpose of this gate—it was most likely a gateway leading through space to another plane!
And this "another plane" was none other than the place where Xu Sheng had once been, which was the Divine Realm of the Douluo plane!
At this thought, his ink-colored pupils couldn't help but narrow slightly as he thought to himself, "Could it be that once I reach the top of this staircase and enter that gate, I can return to the Douluo plane?"
His purpose for coming to this plane was to close the rift in the current plane. If he were to leave just like that, it would mean his visit here was utterly meaningless!
Moreover, reaching the very top of the white glowing staircase before his eyes was clearly not so simple a feat!
Because, without any surprise, this staircase was very similar to the Soul Power Stages he had experienced on Sea God's Island!
Each step would increase the pressure of spiritual power until it stopped the intruders...
Or to put it another way, one could only reach the top if their own strength reached a level capable of countering the pressure, or if they relied on their strong will.
Xu Sheng couldn't help but purse his thin lips as he made up his mind deep within...
Whether it was to find a way to solve the plane's rift or to return to the Douluo plane, passing these steps was necessary!
Immediately, he walked slowly to the front of the Sacred Staircase, and very cautiously took a step forward, steadily placing his foot upon it...
Indeed, as expected, as soon as he touched the first step, he immediately felt a burst of pressure emanating from the stair, but it was so feeble that it could be completely ignored!
The intensity wasn't even as fierce as the gales sweeping around him!
Xu Sheng's ink-colored pupils hardened, "As expected!"
Knowing that the staircase was indeed similar to what he had estimated, he couldn't help but relax slightly...
In the next moment, he saw Xu Sheng stepping upwards at an extremely fast pace, and almost without any pause, he rushed directly up to the twentieth step!
Although he could have continued forward, he paused for a moment...
His expression calm, he turned around and looked down at those steps that he had easily surpassed...
Narrowing his eyes in contemplation, he pondered, "From this level onwards, does the pressure of spiritual power start to double with each step? This is even more terrifying than the Soul Power Stages on Sea God's Island!"
Just by a rough estimate, the pressure of each step could be twice as strong as the previous step!!
That is to say, if Xu Sheng were to step onto the thirtieth level, he could be facing pressure that has been multiplied by dozens of times!!
If it is so for just a few dozen steps, not to mention that this staircase has at least hundreds of steps!!
That accumulated pressure of spiritual power would reach an incomparably horrific level!!
Without any hesitation, Xu Sheng decisively took out every treasure he had on him...
Although his strength had reached the Immortal Monarch Realm, it was practically impossible to reach the top of this staircase without the aid of external objects!
Of course, though the pressure of the staircase was terrifying, it was not without benefits!
That was because the spiritual power inside Xu Sheng's body was growing at an extremely fast rate, which would accelerate with every increase in steps!
After taking a deep breath, Xu Sheng once again set his ink-colored eyes on the few hundred steps of the Sacred Staircase before him...
He immediately unleashed the fastest speed he could muster and, in the blink of an eye, he broke through the thirtieth step... the fortieth step...
His speed did not wane in the slightest, and he kept on breaking through towards the upper levels...

On the other side, Duanmu Lian looked at the Duanmu Mansion with a complex expression and took a deep breath...
After annihilating the Duanmu Clan, the other families did not immediately choose to take away all the resources!
Zhou Qingruo, standing indifferently to the side, her beautiful amber eyes suddenly focused as she said, "Let's take action now, before people from other families arrive. It will be troublesome if we're discovered!"
Duanmu Lian glanced at Zhou Qingruo and softly answered, "Hmm!"...
Immediately afterward, without any hesitation, her body erupted with fearsome Spiritual Power which transformed into flames and instantly engulfed the entire Duanmu Mansion......
Just a few minutes later, the whole Duanmu Mansion was completely ablaze, the might of the vast flames seemingly proclaiming to others the true downfall of the Duanmu Clan today!
Gazing at the Duanmu Mansion gradually fading away, Duanmu Lian thought to herself, "Family Head, I will surely avenge you!"
Having said that, she slowly stood up...
Zhou Qingruo's eyes also flickered several times...
Although she felt no fondness for the Duanmu Clan and the survival or death of the family was not so important to her...
the destruction of the Duanmu Clan also meant that she no longer had a place of belonging!
As she pondered, Duanmu Lian's gaze shifted to Zhou Qingruo, her voice filled with a hint of coldness, "Qingruo, let's go. The Duanmu Clan is truly no more."
Putting aside where they should head next, as an Elder, she naturally had to seek justice for her disciples!
Her brows furrowing, Zhou Qingruo asked, "Where to?"
At this point, they had nowhere to go...
Duanmu Lian spoke very seriously, "To the Xuanming Domain. Just the two of our strength is definitely not enough to destroy the other families, but Xu Sheng is different!"
She believed Xu Sheng would surely have a way to destroy the other families, or at the very least, make them pay a heavy toll!
The disciples and Elders of the Duanmu Clan could not have died in vain!
Hearing the implied meaning in her words, Zhou Qingruo's amber eyes gradually turned colder, with a trace of displeasure appearing on her face, "Duanmu Lian, are you saying you want to use Xu Sheng to avenge the people of the Duanmu Clan?"
She didn't want Xu Sheng to get involved in the conflict between clans again, after all, none of this had anything to do with him!
Moreover, the Mo Family that destroyed the Duanmu Clan had mighty beings at the Half-Step Saint Realm or even the Saint Realm! The danger was self-evident!
Duanmu Lian shook her head, her voice slightly agitated, "This is not using Xu Sheng, but asking for his help. Besides, the Family Head and the Elder Family Head have fallen. Don't you want to avenge them, Qingruo??"
After saying this, her piercing gaze met directly with Zhou Qingruo's beautiful eyes...
Feeling the latter's emotionless gaze, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but fall somewhat silent...
In response, Zhou Qingruo coldly said, "The demise of the Duanmu Clan has nothing to do with me. If you wish to seek revenge, there's no need to include me!"
She disliked being tied to the Duanmu Clan, especially by her closest friend!
