C593 perilous state
The people who were inside could not bear the pain, but had no choice but to grit their teeth and desperately charge forward.
Many people had overestimated themselves and used up all of their energy. They were struck to death by the heavenly thunder, and not even their corpses remained.
On the last step, Xiao Fan was in a sorry state as he turned around to look at the struggling crowd.
This Heaven Stairway was indeed dangerous, he had never been in such a sorry state.
Moreover, the devouring ability on the Heaven Stairway was also very scary. He had fortunately experienced it once in the middle of the Heaven Stairway.
In the blink of an eye, he had lost ten percent of his energy.
Thankfully, he was not an ordinary person. In the end, he still reached the final step.
Xiao Fan turned around and looked at the people behind him, and finally set his gaze on Lin Yue and Pan Chenlong.
Regarding the current practices of the Temple, he still didn't really understand it. However, these weren't the things he was currently worrying about. Temporarily not finding trouble with the Temple would only benefit him.
Finally, Xiao Fan stepped onto the last step, with a flash of light, he disappeared from his original position.
Lin Yue and Pan Chenglong followed closely behind and stepped onto the last step as well.
On top of an ice-cold mountain peak, Xiao Fan stared at the surrounding situation and lamented.
The environment of the fifth Heaven Stairway was vastly different from the previous four.
There were icebergs, lush mountain forests, golden deserts, and active volcanic eruptions.
This world was like a real world. There were all sorts of landscapes.
In the center of this world, was the location of the Heaven Stairway.
After locking onto the location of the Heaven Stairway, Xiao Fan advanced towards the Heaven Stairway.
"Looks like I have to raise my strength. Otherwise, I'll be in danger!"
When they were still a hundred kilometers away from the Heaven Stairway, Xiao Fan stopped and chose an active volcano as his resting place.
From a distance, he could feel a different sense of danger from the direction of the Heaven Stairway.
He did not know what the danger was, but he needed to prevent it.
The number of people in the fifth Heaven Stairway became fewer and fewer, and they also became stronger and stronger.
Even the Half Immortal that entered earlier might still be here.
Especially since Yan Shatian had entered this place before him, he had no choice but to be cautious in order to prevent the Winged Green Serpent Clan Warriors from harming him.
Xiao Fan sat at the mouth of the volcano, and quickly entered into a state of cultivation.
After the baptism of the fourth heavenly tribulation's thunder, he had reached the most powerful state in all aspects, and his savings were extremely robust, which was the perfect time for him to break through to the next realm.
The energy in his body was surging crazily. The ground was shaking and stones were jumping about.
Even the lava inside the volcano had become lively and erupted with more ferocity.
Thick smoke rose into the air, covering the sky. Lava gushed out from the volcano's crater, and the forest below was set ablaze. The entire mountain instantly resembled a huge furnace.
Half a day later, Lin Yue and Pan Chenlong had already reached the bottom of the Heaven Stairway.
There were not many people around the Heaven Stairway, they could easily see through it with a glance.
However, it was these dozens of people that made a genius like Lin Yue Pan Chenlong become obedient.
The weakness of the fourth Heaven Stairway had only appeared a short while ago, and very few people had rushed up.
The dozens of people that the two of them saw were practically all Half Immortals.
These Half Immortals were all from the various powers and hidden experts.
In front of a true Half Immortal, regardless of seniority or strength, the two of them could not be rash.
However, these Half Immortals were all not at their peak stages. They were all elderly Half Immortals whose blood and vitality had started to dry up and rot.
As for those flourishing Half Immortals, they had already entered a very high level.
Amongst these Half Immortals, the most typical one was the severe punishment.
Yan Xing also stopped at the fifth Heaven Stairway, and did not continue to advance to a higher level.
Starting from the Fifth Heaven Stairway, in order to charge up the Heaven Stairway, one had to look at the right timing. If one made a wrong judgement, even if one was a Half Immortal, it would still be disastrous, not to mention a bunch of half-Immortals whose blood energy was starting to weaken.
Everyone's timing was different at this point of time, hence the variables for the Heaven Stairway were much greater.
"Disciple Lin Yue greets Martial Granduncle!"
"Disciple Pan Chenlong pays his respects to martial granduncle!"
Very quickly, Lin Yue and Pan Chenlong arrived in front of a white-haired old man and respectfully greeted him.
The old man in front of them was their Martial Ancestor, Li Zhi. He was also the youngest Half Immortal at the peak of the Temple.
The reason for Li Zhi's short peak was that he had been seriously injured several times when he was young. There were still some hidden injuries in his body that had yet to be completely cured, affecting his foundation.
"Hm!" You two little fellows are here! " Li Zhi nodded and said, "Then you should know about the orders from the higher-ups. How's the progress?"
Li Zhi looked at Lin Yue and Pan Chenlong with eyes full of admiration.
These two were the most outstanding disciples of the current Temple, and their futures were limitless.
"Senior granduncle, he's already here!" Lin Yue said.
"It's just that we didn't see him!" Pan Chenlong added.
Yan Shatian and Lin Yue had seen this place, but they had not seen Xiao Fan.
"It's good that he came up, pay close attention to him and don't let him take the risk. The higher-ups definitely have to succeed in getting to the top, this is a great matter for hundreds of thousands of years of our Temple's history!" Li Zhi instructed.
Xiao Fan was extremely important to the entire Sacred Hall, so this was the latest order from the group of old fellows above.
In front of him, including Yan Xing and a few other members of Winged Green Serpent Clan, were swearing to kill Xiao Fan.
His sneak attack back then did not kill Xiao Fan. Now that he knew Xiao Fan was still alive, his killing intent towards Xiao Fan became even more intense.
The current situation was extremely dangerous for Xiao Fan. Other than Yan Shatian, who had just arrived, the rest of the Winged Green Serpent Clan s were all half deities.
Once Xiao Fan appeared, he would inevitably be attacked by the Winged Green Serpent Clan.
Their new order from the Sacred Hall was to ensure Xiao Fan's safety.
It could be said that the current situation was very stressful for Li Zhi.
On this side of the Temple, there was only him, a Half Immortal.
"Disciple understands!"
Lin Yue and Pan Chenlong answered at the same time.
"Hahaha, thank you, Brother Pan!"
A cheerful voice broke the three's conversation. The one who spoke was Yan Shatian.
Fortunately, he believed in Pan Chenlong's words and didn't fight to the death with Xiao Fan. Otherwise, he would have missed a great opportunity.
Right now, he had entered the 5th Heaven Stairway 3 months earlier than expected. This was a huge blessing for him when he advanced to the Half Immortal Stage.
"There is no need to be courteous. Brother Yan, what else do you need?" Pan Chenlong did not believe that Yan Shatian came just to thank him.
"Brother Pan, you're being straightforward. I'm just going to say it!" Yan Shatian said: "I remember Xiao Fan is walking in front of you guys, I don't know if he has come up yet, but of course I hope he hasn't!"
"He's already come up!" Pan Chenlong answered directly.
"It's good that he came up, it's good that he came up. Otherwise, if I can't kill him, it'll be my life's greatest regret!" Yan Shatian said with a satisfied look on his face.
BOOM!
Right at this moment, the volcano a hundred miles away suddenly exploded. The entire volcano collapsed and lava rained down. The surroundings were a sea of fire.
A purplish-red flaming person rushed over from the sky, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"This kid is really alive, I must kill him today!" Yan Xing glared at the fiery figure in the sky, his entire body emitting a strong killing intent as he spoke.
