C72 (1/2)

Dong!

The instant Zhou Qing's fist landed, a thunderous sound resounded through the valley, causing everyone's heart to tremble violently.

Everyone stared blankly at Zhou Qing, not knowing why he would suddenly punch the ground.

Ka-cha.

Suddenly, a tiny crack appeared on Zhou Qing's fist.

In the instant that crack appeared, Zhou Qing felt the mountain-like pressure on his body dissipate completely.

”Done!”

He was overjoyed and immediately stood up. With a stomp of his feet, his body was like a gliding falcon as he jumped towards the top of the stone stairs.

At this moment, the morning sun had finally leapt into the sky and the golden light flooded the land.

Zhou Qing landed firmly on the 200th step, breathing out a mouthful of impure air.

The moment he turned around, the crack line on the stone stairs abruptly expanded like a spider web, quickly covering the stone steps below level 160.

Boom!

The next moment, a loud sound echoed out.

Like a broken mirror, the stone steps that had existed for hundreds of years suddenly collapsed!

Everyone was terrified and jumped up the moment the stone stairs collapsed.

Within the valley, smoke and dust instantly filled the air.

These people were all Soul Condensation cultivators, the collapse of the stone staircase could not hurt them, but they could not float in the air.

All of a sudden, everyone fell to the ground like dumplings in a pot, their expressions extremely unsightly.

After crawling for so long, everything was ruined!

At this moment, everyone was standing in the middle of the valley, at the same starting line!

Everyone was clenching their teeth as they lifted their heads to look. On top of the mountain peak, that figure was standing proudly as if he was an emperor looking down on the ground.

Buzz.

A strange fluctuation shook the world, and immediately afterwards, the boundary at the end of the valley began to ripple, emitting a hazy light.

This was the exit of the Sumeru Realm.

The appearance of the exit signified the end of the Soul Formation Stage competition, allowing everyone to return.

At the same time, on the martial arena.

The giant screen of light suddenly bloomed with a dazzling light. Very soon, a scene gradually appeared, becoming increasingly clear. This was the scene of the stone staircase within the Sumeru Realm.

At this moment, the spectators outside the Xumi World could also see the results of the match through the massive screen.

Hundreds of thousands of fiery eyes looked at the light screen at the same time, full of anticipation.

Su Mu and Lan Yuan clenched their fists tightly as they felt apprehensive in their hearts.

The results of the Solidified Soul Realm competition was directly related to the fate of the Lan family and the ancient monolith gate after the ranking tournament.

However, when they saw the scene on the curtain of light, the entire martial arena instantly fell silent.

In the scene, it was filled with ruins. The huge pressure from the stone stairs had mostly shattered, leaving only a portion of the stairs leading to the summit.

On the ground, in the middle of the broken stone staircase, stood the disciples of the hundreds of immortal sects. Whether it was the celestial gate or the members of the four great clans, they were all among them.

Everyone looked up at the sky, their faces filled with anger.

The spectators in the arena also subconsciously followed their gazes and raised their heads.

On top of the towering mountain peak, a slender figure with a bare upper body stood proudly. Bathing in the golden morning sun, he looked like a demon!

”That is …” Song Changqing?! ”

A voice filled with shock and disbelief resounded throughout the arena.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded!

What happened inside?

In the Sumeru Realm.

Zhou Qing stood at the peak of the mountain, feeling the hundreds of gazes filled with hatred from the ground. He helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

Even he didn't expect such a thing to happen!

He had followed the Curse Spirit's instructions and attacked that weak spot in order to destroy the spirit formation. At the very last moment, he had managed to reach the top and obtain a top-quality technique.

He had thought that with a single punch, the pressure from the stone stairs would completely disappear. He hadn't thought that this thing would be so weak that it would completely collapse and collapse.

However, although it was an accident, Zhou Qing did not feel any guilt at all.

The pressure on the stone stairs and even the Sumeru Realm belonged to the Mysterious Sky Sect.

No longer pondering about this, Zhou Qing looked around. At the center of the mountain peak, there was a circular stone platform about the height of a person.

On top of the stone platform, there was a palm-sized cyan jade slip, which was wrapped by a misty cyan light as it floated in the air.

There was a very high chance that the technique recorded in this cyan jade slip was the top-quality one!

Overjoyed, Zhou Qing quickly walked over and unceremoniously grabbed the jade slip before putting it back into the Fated Stone Space.

”You dare!”

”Put down the jade chip!”

The instant he succeeded, two roars of shock and anger suddenly exploded from the clouds in the sky.

Soon after, two giant palms formed from mana shot out from the clouds and grabbed towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's face darkened. He wanted to dodge, but his body seemed to have sunk into a quagmire, unable to move.

Suddenly, an illusory, ancient sigh resounded throughout the entire Godly Mt. Xumi.

In the next moment, the two giant palms started to crack and dissipate. Soon, they turned into boundless Spiritual Qi and completely dissipated into the air.

”Elder Chihuo!”

In the sky, the two elders of the Black Heaven Sect, Di Feng and Yu Fu, shivered as they greeted in unison.

Adept Crimson Fire once more attacked!
