"With my current strength, I can barely get within ten feet. Even with the Heavenly Demon Transformation, I can't break through the last few steps."
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and took another step forward, his bones emitting a creaking sound under the strain.
He felt as if his internal organs were being clutched by an invisible giant hand, ready to burst at any moment.
"To what realm did your mother reach before she passed?"
Gu Sheng asked difficultly, blood already seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Half-step Venerable."
Reverence flashed in Qing Feng's eyes.
"Just one last step to transcend the mundane. What a pity..."
Gu Sheng didn't hear the end because he suddenly dropped to one knee, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He quickly retreated, and the terrifying pressure slightly lessened.
"Damn it..."
Gu Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling his Qi-Blood tumbling within his body.
"This pressure is too terrifying."
