Chapter 860 - 778: Bloodstained Stairway to Heaven
At this moment, all the powers and Sect Gates of Sky Sorrow State were about to vomit blood.
What the hell was this Sǐ Pàngzi saying, what did he mean by “pure that something”…
“The business of this fat lord is honest and fair, and at worst it’s medicine mixed with shit. You can rest assured, absolutely no shit mixed with the medicine!”
As Wu Dade continued to speak, he did so in a loud and carefree manner, a look of smug satisfaction in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn’t take it anymore.
They were going mad!
“Damn it, kill him, kill them!”
Bu Wanshan completely lost it, mainly because it wasn’t just Sect Heir Bu Tailing who had secretly started taking the “Spiritual Medicine,” even he had.
And this was the result.
Unbearable!
“This evil person, with a pile of dog shit, has ruined the future of so many geniuses… such a malicious heart, kill them, chop them into mince and feed them to the dogs!”
Luo Tianling from War God Academy also roared in rage, his old face utterly furious.
“I’ll make sure you die a proper death, it would be letting you off easy otherwise, for what you’ve done!”
Shan Po’s face was dark with anger, her teeth clenched tightly.
“No matter what background you come from, today, you die.”
The certainty in Yu Qianwu’s eyes was absolute.
Everyone was eyeing Wu Dade and the others, ready to make a move.
Murderous intent filled the air, and the situation was on the brink of explosion.
But, at that moment, Long Zixuan suddenly spoke up,
“They’re about to die.”
He was looking at the Sky Vault above, at the hundredth step of the heavenly ladder.
“Spreading false rumors, still trying to pull some trick? Do you think you can still buy time to save your lives?”
Bu Wanshan gripped his terrifying black mountain-cleaving saber, the blade’s intent ready to erupt.
“Boom!”
However, just at that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly descended from the Sky Vault above.
Originating from the Martial Dao Golden Ranking!
“Not good!”
In an instant, someone shouted, and everyone turned their heads in unison to look at the Martial Dao Stairway.
They saw from the Sky Vault above, in the Martial Dao Golden Ranking, a terrifying golden light, like a waterfall from the ninth heaven, thunderously plummeting down, landing on those martial geniuses.
A horrifying scene emerged in an instant.
The tens of thousands of geniuses on the Martial Dao Stairway suddenly overflowed with blood, shattered and torn, as if some force had ripped apart their bodies.
“Ah!”
“No…”
“My bones… My flesh, they’re being plundered!”
Rivers of blood flowed; at this moment, it was as if blood rain was falling from the sky.
Tens of thousands of geniuses were wailing.
“What’s happening?”
“What’s going on?!”
“The power from the Martial Dao Golden Ranking is killing the geniuses? Why is this happening!”
At this moment, everyone was panicking.
“Not good… Proud Son!”
The headmaster of War God Academy, Luo Tianling, suddenly looked towards the hundredth step above.
Bu Wanshan, Shan Po, and others also hurriedly looked.
They saw that on the hundredth step, the eight geniuses were already bound by the golden light.
“No… What’s happening? This… This isn’t right!”
At this moment, Cen Mingyi was standing on the Martial Platform steps, but his face had drastically changed, a foreboding feeling rising in his heart.
Beside him, the other geniuses were likewise restrained.
Nangong Ao, Beast Spirit Prince, Bu Tailing, Xuan Yiming…
On the contrary, Mo Mingzhu, Liao Haohai, and Shi Zhenxiang from the Martial Dao Pavilion appeared confused but unharmed.
“What’s going on here?”
Nangong Ao was shocked; he exerted all his strength, operating his martial cultivation to resist.
However, within that golden light, numerous Martial Dao imprints turned into scalpels, starting to carve his flesh!
“Ah—”
Nangong Ao’s eyes bulged as he was flayed, and soon, his white bones were exposed.
“My skin… it’s peeling my skin… no, it hurts, it hurts so much!”
Bu Tailing screamed in agony, his body dripping with blood from head to toe, his skin being peeled off by that light.
“My bones… no… my bones are leaving my body!”
The Beast Spirit Prince fell to his knees, trembling all over, like he was cooked till tender; a slight pull from some force, and his bones separated from a pile of mushy flesh.
“My Dantian… no… don’t take my Dantian away!”
Xuan Yiming, who possessed the Ice-Fire Physique, was now wailing in despair.
Everyone was experiencing a horrific misfortune.
Witnessing the scenes surrounding him, Cen Mingyi was utterly panicked.
“No… this is… a trap, a conspiracy, the Martial Dao Golden Ranking is a conspiracy!”
At this moment, Cen Mingyi had realized something.
“Luring geniuses into a trap, to harvest bones, take flesh, peel skin… what is this for?”
Fear in his heart had reached its peak.
But in the next instant, he could feel no more fear because his chest had split open and a scorching hot heart was bloodily removed.
“No…”
Cen Mingyi howled in agony, looking up to the sky. He knew his end was near and instinctively turned his head, looking in the direction of the Central Continent, screaming his last words with a heart-wrenching cry,
“Young Master run… The Martial Dao Golden Ranking is rigged…”
Then, he died on the spot.
His words, the Young Master he had followed, were doomed to go unheard.
Nangong Ao, Beast Spirit Prince, Cen Mingyi… all had died.
Their bones, skin, flesh, and all were drawn by some force, merging together.
And Mo Mingzhu, Liao Haohai, Shi Zhenxiang, watching what was happening before their eyes, were now completely stupefied.
Blood stained the Martial Dao Stairway red!
Numerous geniuses who had stepped onto the hundredth step, as well as tens of thousands of young ones who had failed to inherit the Martial Dao Golden Ranking, were now all lying dead on the stairway.
From their corpses, some material, more or less, flowed toward the hundredth step, entering that reassembled body.
As if constantly being perfected!
All of this was completed in the blink of an eye.
Below the Martial Dao Stairway, everyone who witnessed this spectacle trembled with shock.
It was as if their souls had been taken away!
“No… no!”
“What is happening… How could such an evil force be hidden within the Martial Dao Golden Ranking?”
“Our genius, he’s dead… executed by the Martial Dao Golden Ranking!”
At this moment, countless people were devastated!
This was truly a horrific tragedy!
“Why!”
War God Academy’s Luo Tianling, with eyes full of raging fury and fear, yelled loudly.
“What in the world is this damn Martial Dao Golden Ranking?!”
Bu Wanshan also clenched his blade tightly, staring up at the Sky Vault.
“My grandson… I will avenge you!”
Behind Shan Po, a terrifying Jing Tian giant python swept forth, with turbid tears in her old eyes and her cane glowing.
“Flowing Snow…”
In the shadows, another Six-Realm Master appeared, the Elder Sovereign of the Beilin Dynasty. After obtaining the Spiritual Medicine, he broke through to the Sixth Realm and lay in hiding.
Now, his old eyes were filled with mournful grief!
“Martial Dao Pavilion, give us an explanation!”
At that moment, Luo Tianling suddenly turned his head, fixing his gaze on Yu Qianwu of the Martial Dao Pavilion.
“You can communicate with the spirit of the Martial Dao Golden Ranking, and your disciples are still standing well and good on the stairway… Why?!”
He stared at Yu Qianwu, demanding an answer.
At that moment, everyone at the scene came to the same realization and looked towards Yu Qianwu.
Murderous intent surged towards him.
But Yu Qianwu’s face was exceptionally calm and sinister.
“This is their destiny!”
“To sacrifice themselves, to welcome the arrival of a Supreme Being… is a blessing for all creatures!”
He spoke coldly.
“Bullshit blessing, you harmed my disciple, I’ll fight you to the death!”
“Kill!”
“Our Sect Gate’s genius cannot just die like this!”
Suddenly, everyone at the scene went into a frenzy, charging towards Yu Qianwu.
They sought revenge!
Luo Tianling, Bu Wanshan, Shan Po, and the other three great masters now made their move!
The terrifying might of the Sixth Realm swept over everyone.
Yu Qianwu was only a Five-Realm Master!
Against the collective fury, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
But Yu Qianwu’s lips curled into a sly smile, saying,
“A bunch of moths daring to fly into the flame?”
In his hand, another golden Jade Talisman exploded.
“Summon the Heavenly Spirit to descend!”
He cried out as he knelt to the ground!
In an instant, from the high heavens above, terrifying golden light descended.
The many masters of the Northern Border, countless sects, were bathed in this light and suddenly found themselves unable to move.
Even Bu Wanshan, Shan Po, Luo Tianling, and other Six-Realm Masters fell to the ground, their old eyes revealing extreme terror.
“You not only want to kill our Sect Gate’s genius… you also want to kill all of us?!”
Luo Tianling asked tremblingly.
Yu Qianwu’s mouth betrayed a cold smile, saying,
“Congratulations, you’ve guessed right.”
