Ye Li and the others walked for more than an hour before finally reaching the top of the 999 steps.
As I stepped onto the last step, the surrounding heat suddenly increased dramatically.
It was as if I were in a raging fire.
The scorching air made everyone's skin feel dry and stinging.
"Buzz~"
"Buzz~"
As the group ascended the platform, a low, buzzing sound filled their ears.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the disc that was suspended above the platform.
This disc rotates continuously, absorbing beams of sunlight from all directions.
And the gathered solar energy is continuously transmitted to the desert emperor on the throne below.
He was shrouded in a dazzling golden armor.
Strange runes also shimmered on the armor.
The interplay of light and shadow seemed to echo the runes on the disc.
Ye Li and the others hurriedly raised their weapons and looked cautiously at the person sitting on the throne.
Just then, the person on the throne seemed to notice their presence.
His tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
His pupils were a strange crimson.
It exudes a chilling aura.
"Are you... also here to stop me from ascending?"
The Desert Emperor's voice was deep and hoarse.
It seemed to come from the deepest hell, sending chills down one's spine.
"That's right!"
Ye Li straightened up and nodded.
"..."
Upon hearing this, the man on the throne's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
His fists clenched tightly, and his eyes revealed a violent glint.
"No one... can stop me."
The Desert Emperor roared coldly, his voice icy and resolute.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his right hand sharply and gripped the scepter on the right side of the throne tightly.
boom!
An indescribable aura of terror erupted from his body.
Like a surging torrent,
Carrying a scorching heatwave, it swept towards Ye Li and the others with overwhelming force.
The little stone monkey and Gigi jumped directly in front of Ye Li and the others.
The two small bodies were like an indestructible city wall, blocking the terrifying torrent for the three of them.
At the bottom of the steps, several figures had just stepped onto the last step.
Before I could even catch my breath, a sudden gust of wind swept in.
Before they could even catch their breath, they were blown away by the sudden gust of wind.
They were mercilessly swept up and tossed into the air.
Their bodies suddenly lost control.
It tumbled and rolled downwards like a ball.
The crowd below, who were struggling to climb, witnessed this and cried out in terror.
They quickly dodged to the sides.
No one dares to help in a situation like this.
If you get swept away, those 999 steps are no joke.
It's estimated that all the bones in his body will be shattered.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
Should we go up again?
"Let's just go up there and make a move, we're just here to observe."
"..."
A group of people trembled and crawled on the steps, watching the figure tumbling down. They glanced up at the high platform in front of them and couldn't help but feel scared, instinctively shrinking their necks.
Zhao Jingguo and the other team leaders also looked astonished.
They had no idea what was happening up there.
These team members had just stepped onto the platform when they were blasted off in the blink of an eye.
"Old Zhao, are we going up or not?"
"Old Wang, are we going up or not?"
The team leaders exchanged glances, whispered among themselves, and discussed their opinions.
"Go? How do we go?"
The shock in Wang Lufei's eyes had not completely dissipated.
He glanced down again at the people who had rolled down.
