Xu Feng looked at the stairs that appeared out of nowhere in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.
The stairs extend upward from the ground until they disappear into the mirage that appears in the sky.
The first heaven, Taihuang Huang Zengtian!
This staircase is the road to the first heaven! "Outsiders, you better leave quickly. The pilgrimage road will gather a large number of criminals. By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!" The criminal leader had a gloomy face. He didn't expect that these outsiders would be so difficult to deal with this time. They paid the price of dozens of warriors to seriously injure three of the other side. This qualification battle was obviously a big loss for the criminals! Xu Feng looked at the group of natives with human heads and bird bodies in front of him, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. These Xianyuan natives, in addition to relying on the weapons in their hands that can break the power of the domain, their own strength is at most equivalent to the realm-level strongmen. In fact, there are very few people who really know how to control the immortal arts.
Xu Feng took firm steps and resolutely stepped onto the stairs, as if he had conquered the entire sky, and he moved towards the mirage. From a distance, he looked like an immortal, slowly climbing towards the sky.
"Climb the ladder to heaven and become immortal! According to legend, this ladder is a place that only immortals can climb..." said a supreme elder with excitement.
"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant outsiders, really think that they can become immortals by stepping onto the ladder to heaven? That's simply wishful thinking!" The leader of the criminals snorted coldly.
Elder Liu glanced at the leader of the criminals, chuckled, and walked towards the ladder, becoming the second person to step onto it.
Soon, except for the three seriously injured Supreme Elders, the other Supreme Elders also stepped onto the ladder and climbed towards the mirage in the sky! The other three seriously injured Supreme Elders stared at the ladder in front of them with complicated expressions;
"Damn it, if it weren't for these natives, I would have given it a try..."
"Let's go. When the ladder appears, there will be more and more criminals. We will be in danger then. Let's leave here quickly." The supreme elder of the Wanjian Sect covered his arm and frowned.
“We’ve come this far, the ladder to heaven is right in front of us, but we can’t climb it. It’s really…” Several seriously injured supreme elders had regretful looks in their eyes.
At this moment, a supreme elder of the Holy Blood Cult gritted his teeth, and an astonishing aura suddenly burst out from his body. His aura, which had been weakened due to the serious injury, became strong again.
The next moment, the supreme elder of the Holy Blood Cult stepped towards the ladder.
"Master Xuehai, have you really decided to do this?" The Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect could not help but speak when he saw Master Xuehai of the Holy Blood Sect step onto the ladder to heaven.
Venerable Xuehai also defeated three natives of the Immortal Garden and was qualified to ascend the Ladder to Heaven, but he was seriously injured. In this state, even if he ascended the Ladder to the First Heaven, he would not be able to withstand the test and would most likely die.
But it seems that Venerable Xuehai seems a little unwilling to give up and wants to fight.
"As long as the blood sea never dries up, I will live forever. As long as I have enough blood essence, I will be immortal!" A crazy look appeared on the face of the Blood Sea Venerable.
The next moment, the domain of the Blood Sea Lord was exerted, and the vast sea of blood enveloped him. As long as the blood sea in the domain was not dry, the Blood Sea Lord would not suffer fatal harm. At the same time, it could also consume the blood in the domain and slowly heal his own injuries.
At the same time, the spell skills cast by the Blood Lord also require the consumption of a large amount of blood sea power. Therefore, once they are used, the blood sea within the Blood Sea Lord's area of less than 500 meters will definitely not be enough.
As if sensing the determination of Venerable Xuehai, the Grand Elder of Ten Thousand Swords Sect stopped persuading him. He just sighed, turned and left. The other seriously injured Grand Elders also looked at Venerable Xuehai's back, turned and left. They knew that this time, Venerable Xuehai had a great chance of dying in this place.
After all the seriously injured supreme elders left, the leader of the sinners snorted coldly and began to direct the tribesmen to build an altar. As sinners, if they wanted to ascend the ladder to heaven, they had to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony.
These sinners, their ancestors, were actually slaves in the Heavenly Palace. When the Heavenly Palace suffered a great catastrophe and was torn apart, few of the real immortals died, and most of them fled the place. Only these slaves in the Heavenly Palace were unable to escape and suffered heavy casualties.
But there were also some who were extremely lucky. As the Heavenly Palace collapsed, they managed to survive in the fragmented space and began to reproduce. However, the descendants of these slaves could not even obtain the status of Heavenly Palace slaves because they did not receive the title of Heavenly Palace, and could only become criminals.
These criminals living in the fragments of the Heavenly Palace also want to return to the place where their ancestors lived. The Thirty-Three Heavens is simply a paradise for them.
However, as a sinner, it is extremely difficult to return to the Thirty-Three Heavens. One needs to obtain the approval of the Thirty-Three Heavens before entering, so large-scale sacrificial activities must be held.
Soon, several more groups of criminals arrived here. They just glanced at the criminals who were arranging the sacrificial ceremony, and then built their own altars under the command of their respective criminal leaders.
The sinners were allowed to ascend to the Thirty-Three Heavens, an opportunity they had longed for. They wore gorgeous immortal robes and stepped onto the stairs leading to heaven, their hearts filled with piety and awe. Their faces were filled with joy and anticipation, because they knew that this was their only chance to escape the bondage of sin.
On this day, the entire Fairy Garden becomes bustling with people busy preparing everything for the sacrifice. Flowers and auspicious animal sculptures adorn every corner, emitting a charming fragrance. The gorgeous altar is filled with various precious offerings, symbolizing respect and reverence for the gods.
When the ceremony began, the solemn bells echoed throughout the fairy garden, accompanied by ancient spells. The sinners lined up neatly, holding incense burners, surrounded by smoke and a mysterious atmosphere. They raised their hands high and prayed devoutly to the sky, hoping to receive forgiveness and protection from the gods.
During the ritual, the gate to heaven slowly opened, emitting dazzling light. Countless stars and fairy lights intertwined, as if the favor of heaven was blessing this land. The sinners watched this magnificent scene with awe and emotion in their hearts.
This grand sacrificial ceremony is not only an important day for the inner criminals, but also a grand celebration for the entire Immortal Garden. It symbolizes the farewell to past sins and the yearning for a better future. Every time the Thirty-Three Heavens appear, it becomes the most solemn and sacred moment in the lives of the criminals in the Immortal Garden.
As the sacrificial ceremony begins, the leaders of the sinners who are conducting the ceremony constantly have in their minds the number of people who will be allowed to enter the Thirty-Three Heavens. When the sacrificial ceremony is over, the leaders of the sinners will select the strongest warriors in the tribe according to the number that appeared in their minds, and let them ascend the ladder to heaven and take the test.
"It is your honor to be able to climb the ladder to heaven!" The leader of the sinners looked at his fellow tribesmen with excited expressions on their faces and shouted loudly: "This is your only chance to escape from your sins. As long as you can become a servant of God, your sins will be cleansed and you will be restored to your original appearance!"
"Roar!" The selected sinner warriors roared to vent their excitement. Under the gaze of their tribesmen, they began to rush towards the ladder. Everyone, with a pious heart, climbed up step by step towards the mirage in the sky.
…
Just when most of the tribe had completed the sacrificial ceremony and were waiting patiently, they suddenly felt a terrifying aura coming from afar, like a vicious wave, not disguising its murderous intent! All the criminals looked in that direction, and soon, a large mass of criminals appeared on the horizon.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"This is..." A criminal leader identified carefully. Although in the eyes of outsiders like Xu Feng, these criminals were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, in the eyes of the criminals, they were still easy to distinguish.
"It's the Quark Tribe. It looks like they've come out in full force this time. What are they doing..." Another criminal leader showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Haha, you haven't heard yet. Old Quark's only son was killed by those outsiders. He lost his heir and is probably going crazy now!"
"Each of these outsiders possesses the strength of a human immortal. If it weren't for these immortal weapons left behind by the ancients, we wouldn't be their opponents at all. It's normal for us to be killed by them. We can only say that the boy had bad luck!"
"Hahaha, Old Quark obviously doesn't think so, otherwise he wouldn't have come out in full force. It looks like he's not here to offer sacrifices, but to seek revenge..."
…
The leaders of the criminals exchanged information with each other, and all looked at the Quark tribe descending with some caution;
"Quark, this is the holy land of criminals, don't mess around!" A criminal leader shouted loudly at the other party.
Quark's eyes were red, he could feel that the breath of his enemy had appeared here before.
"What about those outsiders? Have they already reached the ladder?" Old Quark said gloomily.
"Yes, they have all climbed the ladder and are undergoing tests. Perhaps you don't need to take action, as they will die in the test of the thirty-third heaven..."
"What if you're not dead? What if you killed my son's enemy and passed the test?" Quark let out a roar, as if questioning.
The criminal leaders looked at each other in bewilderment. No one wanted to bear Old Quark's wrath at this time. This was simply an unprovoked disaster! "I need the test quotas from each of your tribes now..." Old Quark walked out slowly with a bronze scepter in his hand, and shouted to the criminal leaders in front of him: "Who of you is in favor, who is against!"
