Chapter 547: Journey to the End(3)
Aakesh had an expressionless face as he raised his right foot and stepped on the forty-third step of the never-ending stair.
The next moment, Aakesh found himself in the familiar garden.
“Now, let’s see whether you are able to defeat me or not,” The Elvish man sneered as soon as he sensed Aakesh’s arrival in his garden.
From the first step, every time reached the end of the test, Aakesh would appear in this familiar garden to receive his reward.
As his steps grew, the restrictions on him inside the garden also increased, and similarly, the strength of the Elvish man rose. Aakesh also noticed another thing; every growth brought an increase in the obnoxious character of the Elvish man.
Aakesh ignored the sneer of the Elvish man and turned around to find him.
Aakesh disappeared from the spot and appeared right next to the Elvish man.
“CRACK!”
The next moment, a loud cracking sound rang in the area as Aakesh punched the knee of the Elvish man, resulting in its shattering straight away.
Currently, the Elvish man towered over several miles, so even to hit the knee, Aakesh had to jump using more than 80% of his strength in his legs.
“ARGH!”
“THUD!”
The next moment, a heart rending cry rang in the area, and not long after, a loud crashing sound devoured the scream.
Aakesh ignored the sound and appeared right above the Elvish man’s head since now the man was lying on the ground.
Even though the Elvish man was screaming in pain, he had expected Aakesh to attack him since his head was the weakest point in his body. So the Elvish man had already put his defenses.
Aakesh didn’t know it earlier, but when he had stepped on the thirty-ninth step, Aakesh’s palm attack had failed to kill the Elvish man in a single strike. After that attack, Aakesh attempted to crush the man’s heart since the man had added all his defenses to his head after the failed strike, but his efforts came to naught. Even after Aakesh crushed the man’s heart, it played no effect on the man’s health and life.
Aakesh didn’t use his physical power this time as a rotating white ball appeared in both his hands.
The one on his left hand was rotating anti-clockwise, while the right hand energy ball was clockwise.
The rotating ball on the right hand hit the shield surrounding the Elvish man, resulting in its complete disintegration, and not long after, the unstable ball hit the Elvish man’s last defense, his hands.
“BOOM!”
The next moment, an explosion rang in the area as a cloud filled with blood and body parts erupted.
Aakesh had no expression on his face as it was now time to end this.
The explosion caused by the unstable rotating ball could also impact Aakesh, so he covered himself in a layer of Counter Shield and made his move.
Aakesh raised his index finger, and not long after, a red beam left the finger’s tip, splitting the Elvish man’s head in two.
Aakesh then comfortably landed on the ground, not far from the Elvish man’s head still joined but split in two.
Aakesh then finally took a glance at this familiar garden.
Every time he came here, Aakesh would notice that the size of the garden would grow several-fold, and with it, new dangers also arrived, which wasn’t the case in the first ten steps.
The value of the random plant, tree, and flower in the garden also grew. Currently, as far as Aakesh’s eyes could look, he would find countless materials that even peak Immortals in the Primal dimension would die to possess.
But Aakesh didn’t pluck anything even though several of the materials he had taken in the first few steps wouldn’t even come close to the value of these random materials.
Aakesh had made a rule for himself that he would only take the two most expensive materials since the most precious material was the key to getting out of here. The second most valuable item was due to it becoming a habit of him since he had been doing it from the first step.
Aakesh, ignoring the material, proceeded forward since thirty years had already passed since he came to this world. He now only had twenty years remaining in the aim of fifty years he had made.
If the journey to reach the first step wouldn’t have taken more than nine years, then he would’ve had more time left, but unfortunately for him, it took him the longest.
It wasn’t that the test put in the journey to the first step was the toughest, so he took nine years. It was the easiest of all the exams he had come across after that, in reality. The only reason it took him this long was that it was made in such a way that a failure wouldn’t cost him his life, unlike other steps, but it would increase the duration of his journey.
After traveling for a few days, Aakesh finally came across something that may be the second precious item in this garden.
In front of Aakesh stood a tree that wouldn’t come even up to his knee. It couldn’t be considered a tree considering its size, but the thick and hard woody trunks made it a tree.
What made Aakesh think of it as the second most precious item was its leaves.
The tree only had measly three leaves, but if someone knowledgeable were to be here, they would have cried out in wonder and shock as each tree leaf signified an Epoch.
Since the tree had three leaves, meaning it had survived three Epochs.
The leaves of the tree had another use. They were one of the core materials of a precious and very rare Ascendance pill taken by the peak Immortals with pseudo divine physiques to increase their chance of ascendance by fifteen percent.
Just from its ability, it could be seen how valuable the three leaves were.
If Aakesh were to take even one of the leaves out in an open market, it would create a dimensional war between peak Immortals since a rate of success increase of fifteen percent was no joke.
Aakesh then spread his aura around each leaf and gently plucked it out. Aakesh then put them in his pocket space.
