The killing intent surged into True Immortal Yu Toad's consciousness and True Immortal Yu Toad's Essence Spirit was tainted with blood.
"Not good!"
True Immortal Yu Toad was alarmed and realized that something was amiss. He hurriedly composed himself and held his breath, wanting to dissipate the killing intent in his heart.
However, the killing intent on the third stone step was extremely ferocious and swarmed in the moment it found an opening!
Given True Immortal Yu Toad's strength, he could not defend against the killing intent of the third stone step to begin with.
Now that his Dao heart was shaken, his consciousness was taken over by the killing intent in the blink of an eye. His eyes were bloodshot and his expression was extremely menacing!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "
True Immortal Yu Toad waved his arms repeatedly with a tragic expression. He roared at the top of his lungs and was already in a frenzy.
Everyone could tell that True Immortal Yu Toad's Dao heart was corroded by the killing intent and he was in a state of Qi Deviation that he could not extricate himself from!
"This is bad,"
Fang Qingyun frowned slightly and murmured softly.
The tens of thousands of inner sect disciples were horrified as well.
Under normal circumstances, when cultivators ascended the Dao Heart Staircase, their Dao hearts would not be able to withstand the impact of the will on the stone steps and they would be able to escape unscathed if they hurried down when they saw that something was amiss.
However, True Immortal Yu Toad's situation was different this time round.
That was because Su Zimo surpassed him and ascended the fourth stone step, causing his Dao heart to waver and reveal an opening.
Right then, he was enraged and killing intent surged in his heart.
That killing intent resonated with the killing intent on the third stone step and instantly occupied True Immortal Yu Toad's consciousness. It was already too late for him to break free.
There were many inner sect disciples outside the altar. However, none of them could step forward to save him at that moment.
The barrier formed by countless runes outside the altar could not only isolate sound, it could even isolate everything. The power of a Heaven Immortal expert could not penetrate it at all.
"Senior Brother Qingyun, what should we do?" Yan Bingying was worried when she saw that.
"Someone will come."
Fang Qingyun had a calm expression and was in no hurry.
True Immortal Yu Toad was a legacy disciple and there were many experts in the academy. If someone sensed the commotion here, they would definitely not stand by idly.
True Immortals, regardless of their strength, were a force that could not be ignored in any sect.
Right at that moment, a figure stepped past the many cultivators and instantly pierced through the barrier outside the altar, arriving before the Dao Heart Stairs. With a wave of his sleeves, his sleeves extended for dozens of feet and directly swept True Immortal Yuchan down from the third stone step.
"Elder Xuan?"
Elder Zhong exclaimed softly.
The person who attacked was the old man Su Zimo saw outside the Earth Grade Secret Pavilion.
This old man was quite mysterious in the Heaven and Earth Academy. He guarded the various secret pavilions of the sect. Sometimes, he would be in the Earth Grade Secret Pavilion, and sometimes, he would be in the Heaven Grade Secret Pavilion.
No one knew his cultivation state or his status in the Academy.
All they knew was that there seemed to be no one in the Universe Academy that dared to offend Elder Xuan.
Now, seeing that Elder Xuan could easily pass through the barrier of the altar, it proved that Elder Xuan's cultivation had surpassed the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Even though True Immortal Yuchan had been saved by Elder Xuan from the third stone step, he still hadn't regained his consciousness. His expression was ferocious, and his eyes were blood-red. His face and neck were covered in blood, and he roared and struggled continuously.
However, Elder Xuan's sleeves seemed to contain boundless strength as they wrapped around True Immortal Yuchan's body, preventing the latter from moving at all!
After more than ten breaths, True Immortal Yuchan gradually calmed down. The blood vessels in his eyes and face gradually receded, as though he had regained consciousness.
Elder Xuan withdrew his sleeves.
True Immortal Yuchan opened his mouth slightly, as though he wanted to say something.
"Pfft!"
However, he did not say a single word. Instead, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
Elder Xuan glanced at True Immortal Yuchan and shook his head slightly.
His attack was already very fast, but he was still a step too late.
True Immortal Yuchan's Dao Heart was penetrated by the Massacre Intent and completely collapsed. His cultivation of more than a hundred thousand years was destroyed overnight!
True Immortal Yuchan's Dao Fruit was already filled with cracks in his consciousness.
Even if he could wake up, he would not have much combat strength left. The only thing he retained was the experience of cultivating to the True Immortal Realm.
"How is Senior Brother Yuchan?"
Yan Bingying could not help but ask.
Fang Qingyun's gaze was deep as he said faintly, "From now on, he's most likely a cripple. He should have no choice but to spend the rest of his life in the servant yard."
Psst!
Many cultivators were speechless with shocked expressions.
In everyone's hearts, a legacy disciple was an unreachable existence.
Never had they imagined that under their gazes, he would fall from the lofty altar and shatter into pieces, and he would suffer such a miserable fate!
Instinctively, many cultivators turned their gazes towards the green-robed cultivator standing on the fourth stone step.
The mockery, contempt and arrogance in the eyes of many inner sect disciples had vanished.
Although True Immortal Yuchan's cultivation was destroyed because he ascended the Dao Heart Staircase, it was inextricably linked to Su Zimo!
"That person crippled a legacy disciple the moment he joined the inner sect. How ruthless!"
"He's the leader of the weighbridge after all …"
"What sort of Dao Heart did that lad condense to be so strong that he could cross the third stone step?"
Even most of the legacy disciples of the academy could not cross the killing intent on the third stone step!
But now, the Massacre Stone Step was surpassed by a rank 1 Heavenly Immortal who had just joined the inner sect and had never ascended the Dao Heart Staircase before!
"Zimo won!"
Princess Chi Hong finally revealed a smile as she applauded.
After Elder Zhong calmed down from the shock in his heart, he heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head. "To think that Su Zimo would be able to cross the third stone step on his first attempt at the Dao Heart Staircase. The younger generation will surpass us in time."
"I knew that Senior Brother Su would definitely win!"
Liu Ping chuckled as well.
"Kid, why are you calling him Senior Brother Su now?"
Princess Chi Hong relaxed and asked jokingly when she saw that Su Zimo was fine and even defeated True Immortal Yuchan and Tang Peng.
Liu Ping replied in all seriousness, "Although we're at the same cultivation realm, I'm definitely not as strong as Senior Brother Su in terms of combat strength. Therefore, it's only logical for me to address him as senior brother."
"Furthermore, my life was given to me by Senior Brother Su. It's not too much to call him my benefactor."
Liu Ping pursed his lips and continued, "However, we're from the same sect after all. It's a little awkward to address him as benefactor."
"Su Zimo has already defeated Senior Brother Tang Peng and Senior Brother Yuchan. Why is he still standing at the top?"
"Could it be that he still wants to cross the fourth stone step?"
"What a huge ambition!"
Discussions broke out in the crowd and Princess Chi Hong could not help but ask, "Elder Zhong, what sort of intent is hidden on the fourth stone step?"
"I heard that the fourth stone step is a natural step."
Elder Zhong replied, "I've never experienced the exact feeling either."
"However, the difficulty of climbing the Dao Heart Staircase will only increase. I heard that there's a step of the Sword Dao at the end that is even more dangerous than the Massacre Staircase!"
