Some people were afraid, while others were happy.
Di Chuan was the happiest person. The stronger Leng Shiqi was, the higher his chances of passing the test.
What's more, Leng Shiqi had pulled all the aggro to him, so no one cared about Di Chuan anymore.
If no one paid attention, of course he wouldn't be targeted, and he was happy.
As for Delta Aurigae, she looked deeply at Leng Shiqi, and stubbornness flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Leng Shiqi killed three golden armored warriors with one slash, shocking everyone, but he didn't have it easy either.
At this moment, he only had about 30% of his spiritual power left, and all of his demonic energy was used up, which meant that he couldn't use demonic energy for a while.
He directly took three pills to recover his spiritual power, and after that, he didn't do much, only using the Cold Underworld Thousand Silk Hands to restrict the golden armored warriors.
With three golden armored warriors gone, the pressure on the others was greatly reduced. Except for Leng Shiqi, everyone was dealing with a golden armored warrior alone.
The golden armored warriors weren't weak, and their defense was strong, but after all, they weren't intelligent enough. How could they be a match for these battle-hardened young elites in a one-on-one fight?
In less than a quarter of an hour, all of the golden armored warriors were killed!
Everyone quickly divided the dropped soul stones, and then didn't dare to stop at all, and stepped onto the 151st step!
They were already two-thirds of the way up the stairway, and if nothing unexpected happened, there would be additional restrictions on the stairway.
So far, only the cold air in the water area and the spiritual power in the wood area hadn't leaked out, so it would definitely be one of these two next.
After the eight people stood still, they were vigilant and carefully sensing for any changes.
The blazing aura that originally wrapped around them suddenly disappeared, and turned into a bone-piercing cold air!
Fortunately, everyone was already vigilant and didn't panic too much. Leng Shiqi withdrew the cold air, and drew a circle in front of him with his finger.
Suddenly, a circle of fire appeared, surrounding him, Delta Aurigae, and Di Chuan to resist the cold air.
However, what caught everyone off guard was that the cold air suddenly disappeared, and then waves of fire rushed towards them!
This sudden change really made everyone a little flustered.
The power of ice and fire here actually alternated with each other without any pattern, making it impossible to guard against!
To make matters worse, two huge ice giants jumped out from the grey fog. The aura emitted by these monsters was also at the seventh layer of the Spirit Aperture Realm!
The wave of fire did not seem to have any effect on the Ice Giants. What was more troublesome was that these two monsters were obviously more intelligent than the Golden Armored Warriors. They directly chose to pounce on the Leng Shiqi and Delta Aurigae, who had the lowest cultivation!
"You're courting death!"
Delta Aurigae's evil aura surged. She gently twirled the bone sword in her hand, and a raging ghost fire ignited on the blade. With a thrust of the sword, dozens of ghost fire sword beams formed a sword net, instantly injuring the Ice Crystal Giant that was pouncing towards her.
Leng Shiqi was much simpler. He directly summoned the Gu King to fight with the Ice Crystal Giant, while he waited for an opportunity to move. He turned to the others and said, "What, you guys want to stand by and watch?"
Zhuge Puhe really wanted Leng Shiqi to die here, but it was obviously not the time for them to fight. He hesitated for a moment, but still stepped in to help.
At this time, Wu Deyao seemed to have come back to his senses. He brought Wang Zhu and Mu Qinglin to join the battle.
With the eight people attacking together, it was naturally easy to deal with the two Ice Crystal Giants at the seventh layer of the Spirit Aperture Realm, but the atmosphere was unusually heavy.
This was only the first wave, and there were already monsters at the seventh layer of the Spirit Aperture Realm. How strong would the monsters be in the end? Could there be monsters at the Spirit Astral Realm?
Even if there was no Spirit Astral Realm, a group of monsters at the ninth layer of the Spirit Aperture Realm was not something they could deal with!
In addition, the power of ice and fire outside without any pattern made them very uncomfortable. Coupled with the gravity and invisible golden needles, it would be good if they could use half of their strength.
At this moment, even some people's confidence began to waver.
Could they really reach the top?
Leng Shiqi didn't have the time to think about it. He only knew that the more time he wasted here, the less hope he had of getting out. Therefore, he resolutely walked to the next step!
Delta Aurigae and Di Chuan followed closely behind. Three Ice Crystal Giants appeared, and another battle began!
Battle, battle, battle!
There was no adjustment, no rest, only battle after battle awaited them!
The Ice Crystal Giants were getting stronger and stronger. Everyone was forced to use some of their trump cards.
For example, at the 162nd step, Mu Qinglin summoned a huge ancient tree that was ten feet tall, and directly threw several Ice Crystal Giants down the stairs.
Wu Deyao was inspired, and also used the anti-gravity that he had been hiding for a long time, and sent a group of monsters flying.
Although they couldn't get Soul Stones like this, compared to reaching the top, the Soul Stones were nothing.
Di Chuan used some kind of secret technique to control a doppelganger. That doppelganger wasn't a simple illusion technique, but an existence that was similar to a physical body.
His main body and doppelganger each wielded a sword, and used completely different sword techniques. Miraculously, when these two sword techniques were used together, they were able to erupt with extremely powerful battle strength.
He killed several Ice Crystal Giants that were comparable to Spirit Aperture Realm eighth layer cultivators by himself!
In fact, ever since he entered the Sky Stairway, although Di Chuan's cultivation was very high, he didn't have a strong presence. His limelight was almost completely stolen by Leng Shiqi and Delta Aurigae.
He suddenly erupted with such powerful strength, which made people look at him in a new light.
As for Wang Zhu and Xi Feiying, who weren't very strong and didn't have powerful secret techniques, the two of them had to bear the pain and use their trump cards.
Wang Zhu used a palm-sized purple compass. The compass could release dense lightning, and its power was boundless.
Xi Feiying, on the other hand, used a blood-red crystal. The crystal rapidly grew in size and was filled with a strange power of extreme frost. It actually froze the monster, which was originally made of ice crystals, into ice!
In order to conserve spirit energy, Leng Shiqi also used a few consumables. These were all obtained from the resources of the Extreme Fire Manor and the Bipolar Mountain Stronghold, so he didn't feel any heartache when using them.
This was a battle that seemed to be endless. Gradually, everyone's consciousness became a bit blurry. They only knew that they had to fight blindly!
When they reached the two hundredth step, their spirit energy had almost reached the bottom. Even their protective spirit armors couldn't be maintained.
Although they still had pills, the continuous use of pills had greatly reduced the effects of the pills. Their spirit energy still couldn't make up for their consumption.
At the same time, whether it was the power of gravity, ice, or fire, they were all constantly destroying their bodies. At this moment, everyone was carrying injuries of various sizes.
Only Leng Shiqi's body wasn't weak, so his situation was slightly better.
However, at this moment, ten huge Ice Crystal Giants appeared. These monsters all had terrifying auras comparable to Spirit Aperture Realm ninth layer cultivators!
