Sandworms are very strong, there is no doubt about it.
That terrifying defensive power is something that even a strong person in the Dan Formation realm can't do anything about.
However, this group of talented people is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Especially Yuwen Qingfeng who holds the innate spiritual weapon.
His snake-shaped spiritual sword can not only easily break the scales of sandworms, but also damage their origin.
After a while, the sandworm was covered in wounds.
It wailed, burrowed into the sand, and disappeared.
A pool of green blood was left behind.
"It's a pity that I couldn't kill it!"
Yuwen Qingfeng put away his sword and said with a slight regret.
"This insect is too powerful. It's too difficult to kill."
Xiao Kuangsheng shook his head gently.
More than 30 people working together could not kill the sandworm, which is indeed enough to prove the strength of the sandworm.
Moreover, even if this guy can't be beaten, if he wants to run away, no one can stop him, let alone stop him.
The sandworm escaped, and the geniuses who had fled gathered together again.
The number of people has dropped sharply again, with only eighty or ninety people left.
Just as everyone was preparing to climb the mountain, the huge mountain suddenly shook.
Suddenly, the flames spread from top to bottom.
The entire mountain was rendered fiery red in the blink of an eye.
The perfect Flame Mountain!
The flames burst out, and a spiritual shadow suddenly gathered in the sky.
This is an old figure.
The body is condensed by flames, holding a cane.
The ricket figure looked like he had already stepped half into the coffin.
He has a kind face and kind eyes.
All the geniuses raised their heads and looked at this figure, their expressions changing.
"This is... Fire Emperor?"
Feeling the invisible aura emanating from the old man, Zheng Zhi's pupils condensed.
And the old man quickly announced his identity.
"After so many years, finally a descendant can come here."
The old man spoke slowly, his voice full of vicissitudes of life.
"You should be here for my inheritance, right?"
No one answered, but they couldn't hide their scorching eyes.
Seeing this, the old man also smiled slightly: "What you see in front of you is called the Imperial Staircase. It has nine hundred and ninety-nine floors. Those who climb to the top will receive the inheritance."
Hearing this, all the geniuses were excited and surging.
However, the Fire Emperor's next words poured cold water on them.
"Each step of the imperial staircase contains the terrifying power of fire, and once you take the first step, there is no way out."
The Fire Emperor said: "You must have gained a lot of treasures by being able to come here. If you want to leave, you can leave now."
As soon as his voice fell, blazing flames suddenly surged above the stone stairs.
That terrifying flame can definitely burn a Kongyou Realm warrior to ashes in an instant.
For a moment, the geniuses who were so excited just a moment ago fell into silence.
Many people's eyes flickered, and their pupils had a look of fear.
Even a few decisive ones have quietly left and returned the same way.
Most of these people come from poor families and don't want to take risks anymore.
Similarly, there are many people who not only have no fear in their eyes, but are full of fighting spirit.
"Since no one has started, let me give you a start!"
Xiao Kuangsheng laughed loudly and then stepped onto the first stone step.
And as soon as he stepped forward, the flames ignited on the stone steps instantly clung to his whole body like maggots on the tarsal bones.
The flames surged, but before they could show their power on him, they were suppressed by his profound energy.
Soon, Xiao Kuangsheng reached the second level and the third level...
Seeing Xiao Kuangsheng taking the lead, some of the geniuses who were still hesitating could no longer sit still and stepped forward to follow.
Zheng Zhi took his sister's hand and walked up the imperial staircase together.
A cold air enveloped his whole body, and the flames on the imperial staircase failed to harm him in the slightest.
But Zheng Qingqing is a bit outrageous.
The flames burned her body and were directly absorbed by her body.
Zheng Zhi's eyes widened when he saw it.
What is the physical constitution of my sister?
Even the Fire Saint Body is not that perverted, right?
On this point, Zheng Zhi, as the previous owner of the Fire Sacred Body, has the most say.
No, Zheng Chen on the side also boarded the imperial staircase.
He is a fire saint. Although the flames of this imperial staircase will cause extremely slight damage to his body, he still needs to use profound energy to resist it.
Not to mention someone like Zheng Qingqing absorbing it.
Soon, all the remaining geniuses began to climb.
Xiao Kuangsheng was the first to climb the stairs and led the way.
Relying on his strong strength, he has reached level 100 in the blink of an eye.
And looking at his trend, it's far from exhausting.
Han Lie, Yu Wen Qingfeng and others were not slow and followed closely behind.
After that, there were Iron Palm Luo Bao, Sima Xuan, Silver Spear Man Tong, Zheng Chen and Murong Xue.
As expected of a true genius, facing the terrifying flames, there was no pressure at all.
Zheng Zhi also followed behind, holding his sister's little hand. The brother and sister were also very relaxed.
Others haven't had it so smoothly.
Many people are already exhausted by the time they reach level 30.
Every step I take is like walking on thin ice.
"ah!"
Suddenly, there was a shrill scream, which was particularly harsh.
Everyone was frightened by the scream and turned to look at him.
When they saw that scene, many of the geniuses showed horror on their faces.
I saw a genius who was burned directly by the fire because his profound energy was exhausted and he could not withstand the flames.
After screaming in agony, he was directly swept into ashes by the terrifying flames.
A gust of wind blew and not even the ashes were left.
This scene is extremely spectacular.
Many geniuses were immediately frightened.
Upon seeing this, several people gave up climbing and wanted to turn back.
Suddenly, a ray of red light shot from the top of the mountain, like a sharp arrow, instantly piercing through the bodies of several people.
The few people who escaped froze on the scene, and their bodies turned into ashes.
The miserable scene made all the geniuses die.
Some geniuses who have thought about giving up but haven't had time to take action are secretly grateful.
