Xi Feiying and Wang Zhu were startled by the sudden appearance of the monsters, but Bu Yangqiu was already prepared for battle.
He sent out two palms in succession. Each palm contained a strong gale force and instantly sent the two monsters flying!
Xi Feiying also reacted. She stretched out her five fingers and five crimson crystal-like finger energy shot out.
Wang Zhu waved her big sleeve, and a thick wave of power swept out.
The three Spirit Aperture Realm cultivators attacked at the same time and the two monsters were easily killed!
From the strength of the monsters, they seemed to be between the Spirit Pulse Realm and the Spirit Aperture Realm. They posed no threat to Bu Yangqiu and the others.
Xi Feiying and Wang Zhu both looked at Bu Yangqiu!
The weakest of the three, Bu Yangqiu, was the first to react. This made the two of them lose face.
In fact, before Bu Yangqiu entered the stairway, Leng Shiqi had already secretly told him that there were some monsters hidden here and told him to be vigilant at all times. That was why he reacted so quickly.
"Pata, pata!"
At this moment, two crisp sounds attracted their attention.
The three of them turned around and saw two thumb-sized soul stones falling from the sky!
Not only Bu Yangqiu and the others, but even Leng Shiqi and the others who were observing from below were shocked. Such weak monsters could actually drop such large soul stones?!
A thumb-sized soul stone was actually not that big, but they had killed many monsters along the way. Generally speaking, monsters that could drop such a large soul stone were quite troublesome.
However, the two monsters just now were clearly not troublesome enough!
Everyone's eyes lit up. It seemed that it was easier to obtain soul stones on this stairway.
The key to whether or not they could pass this test was the Soul Stone!
Immediately after, Bu Yangqiu quickly picked up a soul stone. Xi Feiying also grabbed one. Only Wang Zhu was a step slower and was extremely vexed.
The appearance of the soul stones made Wu Deyao, Zhuge Puhe, and the others unable to sit still.
Zhuge Puhe, who was all alone, stepped on the Seven Stars. His body shone with starlight, and in a few flashes, he stepped onto the Sky Stairway. He went all the way to Xi Feiying's side.
Wu Deyao followed closely behind. He only took a light step and instantly arrived at the entrance of the Stairway to Heaven. He didn't use any protective spiritual armor or anything like that. He just walked up the Stairway to Heaven as if the gravity didn't exist at all.
Now, only Leng Shiqi and Di Chuan had not moved. Di Chuan actually wanted to go, but Leng Shiqi did not move.
Leng Shiqi's gaze was fixed on the ghostly figure that was several tens of feet high. Just now, he actually felt a familiar aura from there!
Unfortunately, that aura only flashed for a moment, and before he could identify it, it disappeared again.
However, he didn't think too much about it. As long as he reached that place, he would definitely know who it was.
With a thought, Leng Shiqi put on the Demonic Beast Blood Rune Armor and used the Ghostly Spring Steps. He arrived at the beginning of the Stairway to Heaven like a ghost.
At this moment, he hesitated for a moment. He quickly looked around, but he still didn't see the figure in his heart.
In the end, he looked at the ghostly shadows with a hint of hope in his eyes. Finally, he stepped onto the first step!
After stepping onto the Stairway, he felt the gravity on his body suddenly become twice as strong!
However, this degree of gravity was not enough to affect him. He adapted for a moment and continued to walk forward.
As he stepped onto the Stairway to Heaven, the gravity also slowly became stronger. When he reached the 11th step where Bu Yangqiu was, the gravity was already five times stronger!
The remaining eight people gathered on the 11th step. Fortunately, the Stairway to Heaven was very wide, so it wasn't too crowded with all of them standing there.
Among the eight people, Wu Deyao was the most relaxed. He cultivated an earth element cultivation method, which was of the same origin as the gravity space. The pressure on him was the least.
In other words, Wu Deyao could be said to have a certain advantage at this moment!
Therefore, his threat was also increased by a lot.
The eight people gathered and naturally divided into three groups. Next, Wu Deyao took the lead and stepped onto the 12th step.
At this moment, two unknown monsters appeared on the Stairway at the same time. In terms of aura, they were stronger than before.
Wu Deyao's expression didn't change. He casually waved his hand and a yellow light rippled out. The two monsters were twisted and shattered!
It was the first time Leng Shiqi saw Wu Deyao in action, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
What Wu Deyao used didn't seem to be an ordinary spiritual skill, nor did it seem like a spiritual skill. It was similar to the Hand of the Earth that he used before. It was some kind of secret technique.
As the monsters died, they dropped two Soul Stones. Wu Deyao naturally put them away.
Next, Zhuge Puhe stepped onto the 13th step. The scene here was almost the same as before. Leng Shiqi stepped onto the 14th step and also casually killed two monsters.
The three of them didn't have much communication. They just took turns to walk up the Stairway and kill monsters to obtain Soul Stones.
To be able to reach this step, none of them were fools. On the contrary, each one of them was more shrewd than the other. They all knew that it would be the stupidest thing to do at this moment.
Like the current method, there would be someone to test the next step for you and also take turns to obtain Soul Stones. Why not?
Just like that, the eight of them quickly walked up to the 21st step. When they reached here, the gravity clearly increased again. It was almost eight times stronger!
Bu Yangqiu's face was already a bit pale. What was even more troublesome was that the monsters that appeared changed from two to three!
Furthermore, the strength of the monsters that appeared now also increased. They were already comparable to Spirit Aperture Realm cultivators at the second or third level!
Everyone's heart sank. It was already so difficult at the 20th step. What kind of terrifying danger would there be later?
However, they definitely wouldn't retreat. Right now, they already had no way out. They could only continue to charge forward!
The good thing was that the current level of danger was still within their acceptable range. It was just that their speed of advancement had decreased.
As time passed, everyone walked higher and higher. The monsters they encountered also became stronger and stronger. The gravity on their bodies also became stronger and stronger.
About an hour later, they finally arrived at the place filled with ghostly shadows!
And this place was the 51st step.
The moment everyone stepped onto the Stairway, Bu Yangqiu's body paused and he almost fell to the ground!
