Crimson blood splattered all over the place. Screams and hisses could be heard, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Many multicolored spatial energies kept churning, and anyone who got close to the Heaven Stairway would be attacked by their opponents with all their might.
At this moment, there was only the Heaven Stairway and the Altar of Heaven in their eyes. No matter who the other party was, they would risk their lives to ascend the Altar of Heaven.
The first person to rush up might not be the first person to ascend the Altar of Heaven, and the last person to attack might not be the last person to sit on the Altar of Heaven. This was because the Heaven Connecting Formation would be open for six hours, and there would be many changes during this time.
There were still many people under the Heaven Connecting Formation who had not made a move yet.
They were all planning to strike later to gain the upper hand. Only when both sides were injured would they make their move.
However, half of the people on the Altar of Heaven were already seated, because they were all Holy Emperors, and every one of them was at least a mid-level Holy Emperor. The remaining positions on the Altar of Heaven were the most variable.
Even a low-level Holy Emperor could be killed at any time. Among them, there were also some abnormal monsters who could fight above their level. Although they were only half a Holy Emperor, they displayed the true strength of a Holy Emperor. There were even some who wielded demigod weapons and killed in all directions … In short, it all depended on one's own means to fight for a spot.
"They're just a bunch of mad dogs. Kill them all, but there will always be a spot for me!" A peak Saint who had not yet ascended the Heaven Stairway muttered to himself as he watched the fierce battle.
The power that splashed onto his body all stopped in front of him, unable to harm him at all.
In another direction, there were three middle-aged men watching all of this coldly. They were only peak Saints, but judging from their resolute eyes, it seemed that they were determined to get a spot.
There were several groups of people like this who had not made a move yet. They all seemed very confident and did not look anxious at all.
After the last two hours, these people finally began to move.
These were all experts who had cultivated in seclusion, and each of them had the ability to fight above their level. The various trump cards they displayed made people's scalps go numb.
At this moment, a handsome young man dressed in white walked over with dragon-like gait and tiger-like strides.
He was handsome, elegant, and Dignified. His style was exceptional, as if he was a prince on a trip. He gave others a domineering feeling, but they couldn't sense the aura he exuded, so they couldn't guess just how powerful he was.
He did not care about anyone's fight. Like a swimming fish, he took strange steps and arrived at the Heaven Stairway.
Wasn't this person Ling Xiao, who was going to the Heaven Region?
As for Feng Qingyuan, he had already kept her into the Medicine Cauldron to accompany Yurou Fei.
After observing for a while, he finally understood the cruelty of the Path to Heaven.
Nearly ten thousand people wanted to step onto the Path of Ingress, but in the end, only one in a thousand people could actually make it. The rest could only face the fate of being killed.
Of course, there were also many who lost their confidence and changed their minds at the last minute, not going up.
Ling Xiao didn't want to fight with anyone. With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to snatch a position.
He just wanted to feel the power contained in the Heaven Stairway. With every step he took, he could feel a kind of "power" revolving around his body, and the divine soul in his sea of consciousness could clearly feel it, and it produced a kind of resonance with the power of the Heaven Stairway.
Ling Xiao was sure that these ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Heaven Stairway were condensed from the power of God, and not real Heaven Stairway that was made of stone.
This kind of great power made Ling Xiao yearn for the God Realm even more.
"After my soul became divine soul, I seem to have a special kind of power, as if I can use any kind of power to change many things. Maybe this Heaven Stairway is a kind of evolution of God's power!" Ling Xiao thought in his heart.
He used his heart to feel this feeling, and his divine soul became more and more refined. All kinds of mysteries revolved around him, but for a moment, he couldn't grasp that feeling, and he couldn't understand the existence of that power.
It was a pity that someone didn't want him to feel these wonderful feelings in peace. A disdainful laugh came from behind, "Useless trash, take your time here, get down!"
As the voice came, a sharp power attacked from behind Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao didn't even turn his head, and his figure lightly jumped up, dodging that person's sneak attack.
That person shouted unwillingly, "You're just trying to be mysterious. Go to hell!"
These people suddenly increased their attacks, and long spears formed the shape of water dragons, roaring towards Ling Xiao.
This person's strength was not bad, and he was in the high-level Saint realm, but he could burst out with the battle strength of half a Holy Emperor.
Ling Xiao didn't say a word. His legs moved lightly, and a wind blade with a strong deathly aura burst out, directly attacking the spear shadows.
The water dragons were destroyed, and the wind blade directly wrapped around the high-level Saint. The thick, sticky deathly aura instantly corroded the high-level Saint's life force, and even invaded his physical body until nothing was left.
That high-ranking Saint only let out a miserable shriek before disappearing from this world with an extremely terrified look on his face.
When Ling Xiao reached the 1,000th Heaven Stairway, a few more domineering forces blasted towards him.
Ling Xiao dodged to the side, only to see several people riding different spiritual beasts. They grouped together in several different directions, forming a small-scale offensive formation. The power they produced was rather impressive, almost enough to take on two low level Saint Kings at the peak of the Saint King realm.
One of the Saints roared at Ling Xiao, "Hurry up and retreat, or else you'll die here!"
As long as they had one less opponent, they would have more chances to enter the Skyscraper Altar.
Ling Xiao looked at him coldly and said, "Don't provoke me!"
With that, he continued to climb the Heaven Stairway.
However, these people didn't want Ling Xiao to go up, and they all attacked Ling Xiao together, intending to kill Ling Xiao in one fell swoop.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Before the smoke dispersed, a peak Saint laughed coldly and said, "You really don't want to die …"
Before he could finish speaking, the shadow of a foot had already stepped on his mouth. The force of the foot was like a collapsing mountain, and its power was extremely terrifying.
Not only was his mouth smashed, but even half of his face was caved in, and blood flowed wildly. The power of the deathly aura invaded, corroding his entire body.
The others were shocked, and they all attacked Ling Xiao again with their spirit beasts.
Unfortunately, Ling Xiao no longer showed them mercy, and the shadows of his legs carried the deathly aura, completely reaping their lives.
"I told you not to provoke me, but you still want to test my patience!"
Ling Xiao said in disdain, and he increased his speed to the top. He didn't want to be pestered by these people, and in the end, he would be late.
It didn't take long to reach the top at full speed, and everyone's attention was focused on the Altar of Heaven, so there weren't many obstructions when he reached the top.
When Ling Xiao reached the top, the battle became even more chaotic.
In order to fight for the position of the Altar of Heaven, everyone fought with their lives on the line, showing no mercy. Some people even attacked their own companions, which was extremely cruel.
The dozens of people who had reached the intermediate stage of the Holy Emperor all had smiles on their faces, as if they were watching a show, and they seemed to be taking pleasure in the misfortune of others.
Ling Xiao had already noticed that among the people from the Wan Jian House, there were already 15 Holy Emperor's who had taken up many positions, and no one dared to cause trouble for them.
Out of all the forces that came to fight for the top 100 positions, this was the force that occupied the most positions. It was no wonder that the Wan Jian House was the most powerful force in the Stronghold.
"Brat, get out of my way!"
A tall and sturdy man who came later shouted, and the broadsword in his hand slashed at Ling Xiao, who was blocking his way.
The broadsword only managed to cut Ling Xiao's afterimage in half. Ling Xiao had already arrived behind the man, and he pressed his hand on the man's back without mercy. A ball of Heavenly Fire suddenly erupted, directly burning the man into ashes.
This scene fell into the eyes of many people, and they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
It should be known that the person who had just come up was a half Holy Emperor, but he couldn't even block one move from this young man before turning into ashes. It could be seen how terrifying this young man's strength was.
Ling Xiao looked at the positions above him, and suddenly discovered that among the people from the Wan Jian House, Liu Cuiyun and Yuan Yanzi were also among them.
When the two of them felt Ling Xiao's gaze, they felt their scalps go numb. They were praying that Ling Xiao wouldn't come looking for trouble with them.
Unfortunately, the more they prayed, the more Ling Xiao rushed in their direction.
"Scram and I'll spare your lives!" Ling Xiao coldly shouted at Liu Cuiyun and Yuan Yanzi.
"Ling Xiao, don't go too far. We were wrong before, and we can apologize to you. If there's a position over there, you can take it. Why must you make things difficult for us?" Liu Cuiyun timidly looked at Ling Xiao.
Yuan Yanzi also echoed, "That's right, my Martial Uncle will let you go. Don't be so ungrateful!"
Ling Xiao didn't want to waste words with these two, and wanted to attack them.
At this moment, the Holy Emperor, who had fought with Ling Xiao before, opened his mouth, "Ling Xiao, why must you be so unreasonable? If you want a position, I can make them give it to you. But if you want them to leave, that's too much!"
This Holy Emperor was the one who obtained the first Altar of Heaven. His strength was definitely one of the top two or three people here.
The surrounding Holy Emperors looked at Ling Xiao with puzzled expressions. They didn't understand why these people from the Wan Jian House would be so afraid of this young man. They all thought to themselves, "Could it be that this person has a great background?"
"Whether it's too much or not, it's not up to you. I'm already being merciful by not killing them. If you want to go to the Heaven Realm, wait until next year," Ling Xiao said to the Holy Emperor.
At the same time, the Golden Dragon Spear appeared in his hand, and his aura continued to rise.
He didn't know if the Holy Emperor would make a move, but he had to be prepared for any eventuality.
However, before the Holy Emperor could make a move, Liu Cuiyun took advantage of the moment when Ling Xiao was distracted to suddenly attack. A long whip shot towards Ling Xiao like a snake, and a Heavenly Lightning Seed appeared in her other hand, which she smashed towards Ling Xiao.
"Go to hell!" Liu Cuiyun shouted angrily.
