When Yuan Ji had entered into the layer of cloud canopy that was five miles up the steep cliff, his ascend had slowed down to a crawl and he was unable to use his lightless profound art.
It was because the winds on this level were howling fiercely and the pressure had suddenly increased three folds.
He was now relying on his profound strength as he gripped onto the steep cliff as he crawled vertical upward.
He took a quiet look down below and was quite startled to see that Ling Feiyang was still a good distance from him below.
"Why is she so slow?"
He had actually expected for her to catch up with him. It was because in terms of lightless profound art, profound strength and profound recovery, she was his superior.
Once a while, he would purposely slow down for her to catch up with him but Ling Feiyang would continue to stay the same distance away from him.
When he stopped all of a sudden, she would pause too to inhale deeply.
