"We have to leave some people here to guard this place and prevent outsiders from approaching. Especially the natives of Earth, kill every one that comes. Wash them with blood. We must not let them obtain their ancestor's inheritance because of their thin ancient bloodline."
An elder from the Netherworld Race suggested with a cold expression. He was worried about Chu Feng and was afraid that he would accidentally find this place. After all, this native was proficient in domains.
A surviving domain master from the Deity race nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. We need someone to guard it. It's not easy to construct the Heavenly Ladder. Send someone to guard it."
In the distance, Chu Feng's expression was gloomy. These old geezers were extremely cautious. At first, he wanted to wait for them to step onto the Heavenly Ladder before overturning them and sending them on their way.
But this was also good. This place was too dangerous, so Chu Feng decided to let these people call for reinforcements. He would let them continue exploring the path at the very front while he made his move at the last moment.
Some people moved along the Heavenly Ladder, wanting to leave this area. However, something unexpected happened. They let out mournful cries as they were on their way back.
This not only made the people in the Pure Land turn around in shock, but even Chu Feng trembled as a chill rose up his back.
Six people on the Heavenly Ladder silently shriveled up as if they had been air-dried in an instant. Their bodies were shriveled up, and all of their vitality had disappeared. They had become corpses.
The most terrifying thing was that after they fell, they immediately turned into powder and dissipated in the air.
This scene made people's scalps go numb and they felt a chill run down their spines. The cause of death was unknown, and it happened in an instant. They died just like that.
The most important thing was that there were still some people alive on the Heavenly Ladder. Their faces were deathly pale as they stood there, not daring to move. All of them were terrified.
"Leave quickly!"
A domain master shouted on the Heavenly Ladder. He took the lead and ran out. Then, he successfully left this place without encountering a calamity.
However, when the remaining people had just moved, there were a few more who cried out miserably. This time, everyone could clearly see that they instantly withered up, their life force immediately fading. They were like dried orange peels, and then they were ground into powder.
In the end, only one domain master and two elders from the Deity race managed to charge through and escape to the other end of the Heavenly Ladder. The rest died along the way.
"Fallen Phoenix Hill!"
That domain master's face was deathly pale. He looked back into the distance, his whole body trembling. There was a ladder to heaven here, but such a tragedy had actually occurred. This filled his heart with terror.
"Go!"
At this time, the group of people left in the pure land were all scared out of their wits. It was unknown who shouted loudly, but they immediately went on their way. They didn't dare to stay here any longer.
They were worried that something even more terrifying would happen if this continued.
Earlier, when they came over, they didn't see any abnormalities in Fallen Phoenix Hill. But how long had it been? Most of the people who set foot on the way back died tragically.
They swarmed back like a swarm of bees. Even the three domain masters in the Pure Land couldn't sit still and rushed to retreat.
Chu Feng saw everything clearly, and he felt a headache coming on. His brows furrowed, and cold air rushed through his body. He stood rigidly in place, because his current situation was extremely bad.
He could not show himself, nor could he escape with this group of people. After all, there were people at both ends of the Heavenly Stairway, so he could only hide here.
He felt that things were far from good and that he had sunk into a passive and dangerous situation.
The affairs of the world were just so unpredictable. If he had known that it would be so terrifying to hide at the back and try to make a fortune in silence, he definitely wouldn't have taken such a risk.
Perhaps this was the fate of evolvers who roamed the forbidden and deathly lands. When they wanted to obtain earth-shattering fortunes, they would inevitably be accompanied by great danger.
"Ah …"
A short and hurried scream rang out. The people walking at the back of the Heavenly Stairway immediately shriveled up. Their eyes were wide open as their vitality dissipated and they were completely dried up.
Bang!
They turned into balls of powder as they fell down the Heavenly Stairway. It was too sudden, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
This made the others shiver inwardly, feeling a chill run down their spines. This vicious land displayed the terror it should have after all. Even now, a heaven reaching staircase was not enough. It was still devouring people's life force, leaving behind these people's lives.
"Ah!"
Halfway through their escape, another two people cried out miserably and fell from the ladder. Their bodies and souls were completely destroyed.
"Every time, it's the people at the back who die. It's as if there's something strange and unclean taking their lives …" someone said this point of view while shivering.
As soon as these words were spoken, someone on the Heavenly Stairway reacted quickly. He immediately overtook his position and rushed to the front. He forcefully seized an advantageous position and fled frantically.
"Luo Zhicheng, how dare you …"
Someone berated him furiously.
An ugly and cruel scene was unfolding on the Heavenly Stairway. Even people from the same race were fighting for a better position and attacking each other in secret.
Someone suddenly rushed to the front and squeezed the others to the back.
Bang, bang, bang!
There were people fighting on the Heavenly Stairway. The Deity Race fought against the Deity Race, and the Deity Race fought against the Netherworld Race in order to escape.
As expected, the people at the back screamed miserably and turned into dried corpses. Their vitality disappeared completely as they fell toward the Fallen Phoenix Hill.
This way, the fighting became even more intense. In a split second, it was a bloody battle of life and death. Some people were killed on the spot by their own people. It was cruel and intense.
In the end, four people came back alive while the rest died. They either died from internal strife or were dried up by the wind. The Fallen Phoenix Hill devoured their essence, energy, and spirit and died mysteriously.
Among the four people who came back alive, there were two domain masters from the Deity Race, one evolver of the older generation from the Deity Race, and the last one was from the Netherworld Race.
They sat on the ground and panted heavily. Their bodies were drenched in cold sweat. Normally, they would've covered such a short distance in one or two steps with their strength. But now, it seemed as if they were collapsing.
Chu Feng steered the spiritual boat and hid on the other side of the Heavenly Stairway. He was ready to snatch this treasure at any moment, but he hesitated and didn't act blindly without thinking.
That was because this place was too strange. He was worried that he would trigger an even more terrifying backlash from the Fallen Phoenix Hill and trigger a strange massacre.
As expected, the domain master on the other side was also pale. He didn't dare to take the secret treasure immediately. This allowed Chu Feng to let out a long sigh of relief. As long as the other party didn't move, he didn't want to change the current situation.
At this moment, his head was as big as a bucket. He really couldn't stay in this place. It was too terrifying. Even such a miserable disaster had occurred on such a seemingly safe path.
On the other side, there were sounds of quarreling and even confrontation. After all, they were on the way to escape and the matter just now was very ugly. Some people had survived by stepping on other people's corpses and squeezing out other people's hopes of survival.
A domain master thought about it again and again and wanted to take the Heavenly Stairway.
Chu Feng was very nervous. He was ready to fight over it, but he didn't act immediately. Instead, he watched in silence.
"Ah … no!"
As expected, something unexpected happened after the domain master from the Deity Race made his move. His arm shriveled up in a flash, and soon after, his entire body was all skin and bones. He was thoroughly dead, and his entire body collapsed and scattered into a pile of corpse powder.
The others turned around and left, and so did the person sitting paralyzed on the ground. He jumped up and fled frantically. How could he dare to stay? He didn't say a single word as his spirit was trembling.
In the blink of an eye, all the survivors had fled. No one dared to look back or stop. They were like stray dogs.
Chu Feng stood on the other side and looked over in silence. He really hadn't expected such a situation. In the end, he was the only one left here.
Was he going to walk the Heavenly Stairway just like that? He didn't make such a choice. When there were many people, those who ran in front would be safe and able to leave alive. But now he was the only one left. God knows what would happen once he set off.
He carefully recalled the domain records he had memorized on the moon. The description of the Fallen Phoenix Hill was: great terror, great strangeness, and great annihilation!
The main thing was that these nine words weren't detailed enough.
Now it seemed that the summary of the nine words was vividly and vividly reflected. Those people were using their lives to explain.
"In the records on the moon, there is a record in another miscellaneous book. When there are many people, the Fallen Phoenix Hill will have a chance of survival. Some people will be able to escape. This is the path of survival that the Fallen Phoenix Hill gives to those who enter by mistake."
As for forcefully breaking through, this wasn't something Chu Feng was considering at this stage.
Chu Feng retreated. He wouldn't choose to leave now because he felt the risk was too great. At the same time, he reckoned that the Deity race and the Netherworld race wouldn't leave things at that and would definitely report it.
After all, disregarding the immortal tree, even that golden box would tempt them. The Deity race and the Netherworld race had always coveted the highest inheritance on earth.
This was the depths of the Kunlun Pure Land, the true home of myriad gods. It wasn't far from being the most important place on earth. That golden box was definitely not simple.
Chu Feng turned around and walked toward the depths of the Pure Land.
"I'll take this opportunity to try and seize the fortune first!"
If someone were to charge in again, he was prepared to take advantage of the chaos to be the first to escape to the Heavenly Stairway and use it to leave. Now wasn't the time. He had to calm down and calm his mind. Fear was useless.
Within the dimensional space, the soil was sparkling and translucent. The small tree was swaying in the wind. Its tender leaves were green while its old leaves were as white as jade. Its branches were golden, and its entire tree was over a meter tall. Its only fruit was bright red and resplendent. The fragrance wasn't very strong because it was blocked by the domain and couldn't completely float out.
Chi, chi, chi!
Chu Feng also had the Domain Breaking Flag and the Seal of Domain Suppression on him. They were all spoils of war. He had once fought with the people of Penglai Island and had also fought with the divine sons and saintesses of the outer realms. He had seized many good things.
He tossed these things onto the sparkling magnetic powder on the ground. Finally, he personally stepped on it. He was very decisive and resolute.
The distance wasn't very far. He rushed over and charged into this secret land. He was within arm's reach of the small tree.
Everything went smoothly as Chu Feng had expected.
At the last crucial moment, a black vine suddenly rose up and pierced through Chu Feng's body with a pfft, bringing forth a large blossom of blood.
"Too violent!" Chu Feng cursed. Even though it was only a bloodline genetic test, it was still too unrestrained. How could an ordinary person endure it? He was directly attacked like this.
"The bloodline is normal and the genes are compatible. An extremely pure descendant!" A mechanical voice rang out as a black energy pagoda appeared.
With a swoosh, the black vine retreated. Following which, the energy pagoda shone and enveloped Chu Feng within. It healed his wounded body and all the essence blood that had flowed out flowed back in reverse. He was completely fine in an instant.
"I can pick the fruit now, right?" Chu Feng said to himself.
"Yes." This was the energy pagoda's reply. Then, it became silent.
Chu Feng didn't say anything further and directly plucked the red fruit. At this time, he relaxed slightly after his nervousness had passed. The rich fragrance that refreshed the heart and mind made his entire body feel incomparably comfortable. It was as if he was about to sprout wings and ascend.
The bright red fruit was as big as a fist. It made his palm appear resplendent and bright and translucent. This was a type of great medicine that had finally fallen into his hands.
Chu Feng didn't dare to study it here and didn't directly swallow it. Instead, he put it into a jade container he had prepared beforehand and stored it for now.
Who knew what would happen if he were to eat this fruit. If his body were to undergo an intense transformation, it would most likely take up a lot of time. Moreover, the enemy could turn back at any time.
Following which, he dug out the golden box that was half-buried in the sparkling and translucent soil and put it into his spatial bracelet. At this point, he had obtained two of the greatest fortunes in this place.
Chu Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He had obtained the greatest fortune.
Then, he crouched down and began to dig up the mutant soil. At the same time, he wanted to collect this divine tree.
However, something unexpected happened. The black energy pagoda suddenly emitted a sound and said, "Warning, suspected invasion of the Taotie race. They want to dig three feet into the ground and leave not a single blade of grass alive!"
Then, he saw the domain runes in the vicinity light up.
The most unforgivable thing was that the area where the small tree was sunk in and the mutant soil disappeared with a swoosh.
Chu Feng: "…"
His style of digging three feet into the ground and leaving not a single blade of grass alive caused the energy pagoda to be unable to bear it. It sounded the alarm here and left him rather speechless.
