C277 The Test
Everyone rushed towards the entrance of the mountain. The speed of the three Heaven Reaching Stage Martial Cultivators was even faster. A second ago, they were partners. However, at this moment... They had become enemies. No one would give in to anyone. If he gave in, it meant that the benefits in his hands would be less.
Following closely behind the three of them, a group of All-seeing Stage Martial Cultivators also stepped into the cave. Next was the martial cultivator at Dharmakaya Stage, and lastly, the Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator. It was also the first layer of Martial Cultivator with the most number of people, and there were more than three hundred of them.
"Everyone, be careful!"
When they entered the cave, Ji Wuyan reminded them.
Huo Xing was not worried. After all, the enemy had teleportation skills. Even the few Heaven Reaching Stage Martial Cultivators might not be able to stop them. He was more worried about Hsiao Haifeng.
"I know, boss!"
Hsiao Haifeng nodded his head.
He was well aware of his own situation. His strength was perhaps equivalent to a newly advanced Dharmakaya Stage Martial Cultivator. Among all these experts, he had yet to enter the upper echelons, and his life could be in danger at any time.
Fortunately, there weren't many dangers along the way. Soon, a dazzling light came from ahead, and the group passed through the entrance.
Boom!
Right when everyone had just walked out of the entrance, a violent explosion suddenly erupted. A black metal door suddenly descended, locking down the exit.
"Not good! The exit has been sealed!"
This scene caused everyone's expressions to change greatly.
Xiu! Xiu!
A few terrifying air-piercing sounds were heard. It was the three Heaven Reaching Stage Martial Cultivators. They had attacked!
Light flickered in the void, and spiritual energy raged. Three spiritual energies that were filled with terrifying energy waves swept out, causing the entire void to tremble.
Countless Martial Cultivator were terrified. They felt as if a huge mountain was crushing down on their chests. It was so terrifying that they felt like they were about to suffocate!
After that, everyone was stunned!
Boom!
A black light flashed on the black metal door, and the three terrifying attacks were suddenly reflected back. The spirit energy attacks seemed to have been increased by several times as they counterattacked. The expressions of the three martial cultivator at Heaven Reaching Stages changed drastically. They were unable to dodge in time, and were hit one after another. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, they retreated with shock written all over their faces...
"How is this possible?"
Countless Martial Cultivator looked at the scene in disbelief. They could not imagine that even with the combined strength of three martial cultivator at Heaven Reaching Stages, they were still unable to destroy a steel door.
Just as everyone was panicking and at a loss for what to do, a strange voice suddenly sounded in this spacious and empty land.
"Welcome to Shadow Realm. This is a spatial zone that I have opened up."
The voice was very sudden and clear, but no one could tell where it came from.
"Who are you?"
"No, let us out. I want to leave this place!"
Some were calm, while others were panic-stricken.
"My name is Shadow Sovereign. I am a Martial Cultivator who has cultivated to the Supreme Stage. I am also a disciple of the Floating Palace from tens of millions of years ago. I have been dead for thousands of years."
"Once the black iron gate is closed, it means that Shadow Realm has been isolated from the outside world. It is impossible for you all to leave this place. Only by passing my test and obtaining my inheritance can you leave this place."
The strange voice sounded again.
The inheritance of a Supreme Stage?
"What test? What should I do?"
The crowd was overjoyed when they heard this, and they hurriedly asked.
They had never thought that this place would really be the remains of a Supreme Stage. This was great! If they passed the test, wouldn't that mean that they would become a Supreme Stage?
"Do you see the stairs in front of us? Climbing it and reaching the top of the stairs is considered as passing the first level of the test."
The voice sounded again.
The crowd looked forward. In front of the spacious land, there were layers and layers of stages appearing all of a sudden. It was as if the stairs were the sky, reaching to the end of the horizon.
"Let's go!"
Since they knew the method to take the test, they did not hesitate any longer. They dashed toward the stairs with a flicker.
"Huo Xing, can you teleport out?"
At this moment, Ji Wuyan glanced at him and whispered to him.
"No!"
Huo Xing shook his head, "After entering this place, the spatial zone here has been cut off from the outside world. The spatial zone created by this senior is too big. I can only teleport here right now."
"Oh!"
Ji Wuyan nodded his head. He looked at the top of the heavenly staircase and his eyes sparkled.
"Let's go, let's follow them."
The three of them soon arrived at the Stairway to Heaven.
At the first step, they felt that something was wrong. The gravity here was much greater than outside. No wonder there were so many people here, including the three Heaven Reaching Stage Martial Cultivators, they had only managed to climb more than fifty steps.
After all, they were all Heaven Reaching Stage Martial Cultivators, and they could cross thousands of meters within a breath's time.
Time passed bit by bit. Unknowingly, a minute had passed.
On the Stairway to Heaven, the three Heaven Reaching Stage Martial Cultivators were still the highest. They were already standing on the 500th step, followed by the dozen All-seeing Stage Martial Cultivator. Behind them were the hundred plus Dharmakaya Stage Martial Cultivators, and lastly, the Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator.
Ji Wuyan and the other two were at the front of the group. The so-called gravity on the stairs didn't affect them too much.
In the blink of an eye, another minute passed.
The top of the stairs could be seen from behind. The three Heaven Reaching Stage Martial Cultivators and the dozen All-seeing Stage Martial Cultivator were on top of the stairs. Even some of the stronger martial cultivator at Dharmakaya Stage had arrived.
Seeing this, many of them relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on their faces. It seemed like they would arrive soon.
Another thirty seconds passed.
All the martial cultivator at Dharmakaya Stage had gone up, but not a single Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator had reached the top.
At this moment, the strange voice sounded again.
"There are only thirty seconds left. In thirty seconds, anyone who tries to climb up to the top will be killed."
What!?
As soon as the voice faded, the group of Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivators behind them felt as if they had fallen into a cold cellar. They shivered, and some of the Martial Cultivator that had just arrived halfway to the staircase began to cry out in panic.
"Senior, why is this happening? Isn't it just the first level of the test? Why did you kill us? "
"Yes, we can't accept it. We, cultivation base, are so much weaker than those people in front of us. What right do we have to kill those people behind us?"
"Also, why didn't you tell us from the beginning that there is a time limit for us to climb the stairs?"
Many of them were in despair. They were trying their best to fight for a chance to live.
Unfortunately, such a cold voice came from the void, directly breaking the hope in their hearts.
"Danger and opportunity coexist. If you can't even comprehend this, what right do you have to obtain my inheritance?"
This meant that they would definitely die here.
Crazy!
There were still more than ten seconds left before they went crazy. They had completely lost all hope. They urged their spiritual energy and attacked forward crazily.
The people in front did not know that the people behind them would be so crazy. Many of them did not have any defense and died on the spot.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion exploded in the stairs. Dozens of Martial Cultivators were severely injured and spat out blood. There were also many people who died on the spot.
"Senior, quickly stop these people. They have gone crazy!"
Someone cried out in fear.
There were still more than ten seconds left. They simply didn't have the time to fight with that group of people behind them!
If this continued, they would definitely die!
"I said before, danger and opportunity coexist. You should pray for your own good fortune!"
However, what answered them was a cold sentence.
Seeing that there were only ten seconds left, many people also fell into despair.
"Ah!"
Some people behind also crazily attacked.
Since he couldn't live, those people in front of him wouldn't be able to live either.
The bad roots of human nature were clearly exposed at this moment.
They didn't seek revenge on the people behind them. Instead, at the last moment, they bombarded the people in front of them crazily.
"No!"
"You bastard, I treat you like a brother!"
"No, save me!"
Boom!
A loud explosion rang out as many people flew away with serious injuries. Miserable screams rang out one after another.
At the top of the Stairway Tree.
A group of Martial Cultivators looked at this scene coldly. They had no intention of making a move.
At this moment, they were already competitors. Furthermore, these people were just the lowest tier of Martial Cultivator. They were like ants, there was no need to save them at all.
"A bunch of lunatics, leave quickly!"
Ji Wuyan's expression changed slightly. He felt that the attack behind them was close at hand, so he no longer hid his strength. He immediately used the Giant Spirit God's skill and led Hsiao Haifeng and the other two to rush forward.
Of course, apart from him, the Martial Cultivator, which was very close to the top of the Sky Stairwell, also used all of his trump cards. All kinds of movement techniques, Martial Skill, were displayed to the maximum at this moment. Each and every one of them rushed to the front as if they were competing with each other.
There were still a few seconds left!
Ji Wuyan brought Hsiao Haifeng and Hsiao Haifeng with him as they took a step forward. Finally, in the last few seconds, they reached the top of the Stairway Tree!
"Hu!"
Some Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator who had just reached the top couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Ah!"
"You b * stard!"
"No!!"
With a boom, several miserable screams suddenly rang out!
These few cries immediately attracted the attention of the others. Everyone's gazes shot over one after another.
It was an All-seeing Stage Martial Cultivator!
He was attacking a few Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivators that had just climbed to the top!
Those few Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivators had never thought that someone would attack them. Moreover, even if they knew about it, there was no way they could avoid it. The gap between them was just too great.
This scene caused the eyelids of the other Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator who had just climbed to the top to twitch wildly.
"Bastard, what are you doing?" Someone said angrily.
"What? Do you have an opinion?"
The All-seeing Stage Martial Cultivator gave him a ruthless look, "A bunch of ants, you don't have the right to compete with us, the same goes for you!"
These words were like a reminder to everyone. Many of the Martial Cultivators's eyes looked at this batch of Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator with a cold light.
At this moment.
"Time's up! All those who have yet to reach the top of the stairs will be killed!"
As the voice rang out, thick black flames suddenly appeared on all the stairs, instantly drowning those who were still on the stairs. They let out miserable screams...
"No!"
"Ah!"
Countless people instantly turned into ashes.
"Ah!"2
Suddenly, another miserable cry rang out. The voice was very close to them.
It was the martial cultivator at All-seeing Stage that had attacked earlier!
Black flames that were the same as the ones on the stairs were emitted from his body, and he instantly turned into ashes just like those people.
This scene caused all the Martial Cultivator present to tremble with fear!
"I said that danger and opportunity coexist, but this doesn't mean that all of you can rely on cultivation base to kill as you wish in my territory."
That strange voice rang out at this moment, causing the Martial Cultivator who had their eyes glowing with cold light to break out in a cold sweat...
