Shen Yin Wang Zuo

Chapter 650: Path to the Sky and Bloody Wounds (II)

If she wasn’t carrying Long Haochen on her back, she would have at least gone through two hundred stairs before this situation would have arisen.

She would even be able to move faster and more unrestrainedly.

And now, Cai’er had on her back a Long Haochen weighing over eighty kilograms! And at the same time, her weight didn’t reach one hundred kilograms. This burden was really too heavy for her body.

But Cai’er didn’t stop. In the end, the pain of her body was unable to affect her heart in the slightest. She took firm steps in the process of advancing and kowtowing.

Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven... forty-two, forty-three, forty-four....

“Look everyone, what’s that?” Chen Ying’er suddenly called out.

Everyone followed her pointed finger, to see that at some point those sparkling pure gold stairs had gained two tints of faint red color.

This was a mild red, that one wouldn’t discover without paying great attention.

“There’s more!” Chen Ying’er called out once again, and as Cai’er once again took another step, two thin red traces had flowed from one stair higher.

Han Yu clenched his fists. Even despite his strong character, his voice was unexpectedly shaky, “Cai’er is wounded in the knee.”

Right, those thin red traces were blood, Cai’er’s blood.

After over forty steps, burdened by the eighty kilograms weighing Long Haochen, her long skirt was already torn, which is how her blood could be left on the step.

Everyone couldn’t help but worry for Cai’er. Although they didn’t know why Cai’er would let herself bear such a pain, right now, it was really obvious to see that this path was abnormal.

Although this path stripped all her spiritual energy, that was not enough to bend her willpower. Due to the pain she had to sustain since she was young, Cai’er’s willpower had become extraordinary. Moreover, her goal now was nothing else but to resurrect her man.

One step after another, each step a kowtow.

Blood drops kept falling two by two, and at the time she reached the fifty seventh stair, her pair of blood drops turned into three, that third one coming from Cai’er’s forehead.

Cai’er was already in Yang Wenzhao’s arms, and didn’t dare look anymore, lost in tears. The others also unconsciously shut their eyes.

Their bodies and minds were shaken violently. Cai’er was really too strong.

Cai’er didn’t take any pause, seemingly feeling no pain at all.

Fifty stairs, sixty stairs, seventy stairs, eighty stairs. Those stairs were painful, and she had to staggeringly go on. Her body was already close to collapse, and the blood trails left on the ground started to form a puddle at the bottom of the stairs.

But she still kept going on, climbing without rest. A deep force of incomparable scale seemed to be supporting her gradually weakening body.

Bam! On the one hundred twelfth stair, Cai’er suddenly fell down, violently smashing the stairs on the ground. But her right arm still grasped the bottom of the stairs, so that she wouldn’t slip down.

Blood covered the whole hem of her skirt, and as her tiptoes slided along the way, Cai’er’s face of originally extreme beauty had already become full of blood.

Because her body was far too burdened, it was shaking violently. Only her eyes and look remained firm, resolute.

With a violent gasp for breath, she barely managed to shift position to another stair, and kowtow once again in a Bang.

But this time, she did not climb further. Her line of sight turning dark, she directly fell unconscious.

“Cai’er...” Outside the gate of light, the rest of the group was clearly seen shouting loudly. Wang Yuanyuan even had no qualms to ram her whole body against that screen, only to be shot back directly.

To say nothing of Chen Ying’er, even Sima Xian, Lin Xin, and Han Yu, the oldest of the group, already couldn’t bear to watch. The traces of blood flowing down at each of Cai’er’s movements felt like sharp swords piercing through their hearts every time.

But there was still nothing they could do: unable to enter through that gate, they were naturally unable to be of any help to Cai’er. They could only stare blankly at the sight of her blood flowing through those golden stairs.

There was no chance at all on the path to the sky. The golden stairs still had no ending.

A hour passed.

Cai’er’s body suddenly shook lightly. Using her arms to prop herself up, she slowly rose up. She had just awoken.

Not turning back, she just paused slightly before struggling to barely manage to get up. Once again stepping up, she kowtowed once again.

In just a moment, her blood had covered a whole new stair.

“Cai’er!..” Chen Ying’er and Wang Yuanyuan already had tears dripping all over their faces, and their voices had already turned hoarse due to the crying.

Each and every man had their eyes reddened, clenching their fists to the extent of having their fingernails pierce through their skins. They were just so hopeful to be able to take Cai’er’s stead to climb through this path to the sky

One stair, two stairs, three stairs, four stairs...

The awakened Cai’er was still that strong. On her back, Long Haochen’s corpse already felt as heavy as a mountain, that was how heavy he weighed on her heart! Without a break, she kept advancing through that path. It’s either die in this path, or bring him back to life!

These words were repeated without pause in Cai’er’s mind.

This time, she managed to advance through twenty-eight stairs, before once again collapsing and falling unconscious. But, even so, she took grasp of the next stair in front of her eyes unbendably, so that she wouldn’t slide down.

Climb and fall unconscious, climb and fall unconscious, and so on...

Cai’er collapsed time after time, and climbed many again and again. When she had made it onto the two hundredth stair, she was already entirely covered in blood.

This was already her seventh time falling unconscious on the path to the sky.

Chen Ying’er had already passed out in the midst of crying, while the others attacked relentlessly that gate blocking their way. Only that way could they vent the pain and torment inside them.

Cai’er’s knees were already devoid of the slightest skin and flesh, her deep white bones already coming to sight. She was unaware that her fair white bone contorted all the time, and because of the excessive blood loss, her whole body was morbidly pale. Her life was running off at an astonishing speed, yet no end of the path to the sky came to sight.

This time, Cai’er fell unconscious for an especially long time. A whole seven hours had passed before she awoke.

“Cai’er!!! Cai’er!!!” The whole Bright Glimmer of Hope group was frantically venting on the separating area in front of them, already all shouting hoarsely. They really couldn’t bear to watch anymore, and really wanted to tell her to stop already. The stairs between the sixth and seventh floor were tormenting them far more than all the previous trials!

But Cai’er didn’t look back from beginning to end, slightly lifting up her head, only to see a large swath of blood color in front of her eyes.

Barely moving her body, she found out that she was already unable to stand up anymore.

Falling unconscious seven times already had drained all her physical force, and her life was already close to an end.

Right at this time, a flash of light came in front, and a massive gate of light appeared on the tenth floor in front of her, flashing slowly. As the gate of light opened up slowly, it faintly revealed a golden world concealed behind.

A gate... A gate!!!

Cai’er’s somewhat ash-grey eyes suddenly lit up at the sight of this gate. Hope had come out in front of her.

The rest of Bright Glimmer of Hope could also see what she saw. They unconsciously became silent, looking at that even larger gate while biting their teeth tightly and painfully.

Cai’er’s legs were already totally numb, but this instant her eyes lit up incomparably. Carrying Long Haochen, she did her utmost to pull herself and Long Haochen to the next stair using her arms, her forehead leaning on the next stair with force.

Deep traces of blood being left on the stair, this golden path to the sky even started to gain a thin red tinge due to the blood left by her.

But Cai’er didn’t care about that. The gate in front of her eyes was her hope. I must bring Haochen through this gate of light so that he can resurrect.

Cai’er didn’t know why, but she faintly came to hear an extremely emotional teary voice resound through her ears, crying in extreme suffering. But this did not matter to her; how could she attend to reflect on other matters than to keep going forward.

The hidden capabilities in her body were aroused by this hope, and she managed to climb through a stair after another by the use of her two arms. Crawling up stair by stair, she would cover at least a third of its surface with the blood on her body every time, but this blood became more and more light in color every time. Wouldn’t her blood run out at this rate?

Five, four, three, two, one.

Finally, when the gate of light became very near, Cai’er’s firm and resolved expression finally displayed a faint smile.

Raising her hand and her fingers, already ground to the extent that its bones were coming to sight, she shiveringly grabbed that gate of light.

But this time, a sickening scene came to all Bright Glimmer of Hope’s sight. That gate of light suddenly swayed lightly, raising one step higher and causing Cai’er to catch emptiness.

Despair filled up the eyes of everyone present outside the first gate. Was the gate on top of the stairs actually a fake? They became mad to the extent of pounding the gate in front of them with all their strength.

They all cursed the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux.

Cai’er was just a girl, why must he be so cruel?

Only Cai’er didn’t fall to despair, still as determined looking. Her emptiness catching hand fell onto the previous stair on emptiness, and her body shifted up once again.

This was her final chance. She knew that if she were to fall unconscious once again, she would perhaps never awake again, so there was no other chance to resurrect Long Haochen.

Conviction and resolve burned fiercely inside of her. Cai’er’s arms suddenly exerted all their strength to make a frantic rise to the next stair.
