If given a choice, the Lord of Turbid River would never have wanted to clash with Lin Yuan.
But this was a battle for transcendence, a fight for the hope of surpassing all limits.
Even if it were Lin Yuan, or even the likes of the Lord of Brahma or the Lord of Heaven, who had endured over three hundred million calamities, the Lord of Turbid River would still dare to fight.
"Hmm? Lord of Turbid River, are you planning to make a move against me?" Lin Yuan sensed the killing intent emanating from the Lord of Turbid River and paused his ascent to observe him.
This was something Lin Yuan had anticipated.
Given his climbing speed, he was bound to catch up with the legendary lords ahead of him.
Most of them might hold back, as having one more or one less Lin Yuan wouldn’t significantly increase their chances of transcendence.
But a few, especially those at the very front, would never willingly give up their chance.
"Lord of the Milky Way, if you choose another white jade staircase, I’ll owe you a favor. Treasures? Rare items? Name your price, as long as I can provide it," the Lord of Turbid River said solemnly.
"But if you insist on continuing to climb this staircase, don’t blame me for going all out."
"Switch to another white jade staircase?" Lin Yuan chuckled.
