Chapter 821

The clouds and mist behind the restriction dispersed, and a flight of stairs that spanned the heavens and the earth appeared before everyone's eyes.

This flight of stairs was like a bridge that connected heaven and earth and the Immortal's Abode. One end was at the end of the Dao Garden, and the other end was outside the Immortal's Abode, which was tens of millions of feet away.

The world inside the Immortal's Abode was like an empty space. Lonely palaces floated like islands, mysterious and magnificent. In the void, there was also a faint starlight Immortal Formation that appeared and disappeared.

The Immortal's Abode did not have the beautiful scene of ethereal Immortal Qi and celestial music that everyone had imagined. Instead, there was a strange kind of tranquility and loneliness.

It was as if this place was already in ruins, a dead end!

"That Immortal's Abode … doesn't seem to be getting any closer to us!"

"It should be some kind of nomological power. No, maybe it's some kind of power on a deeper level, the kind that we can't understand or comprehend …"

"Why do I feel the aura of death? My Greedy Ghost Beast seems to be afraid of something. There seems to be something hidden here!"

"This Immortal's Abode may be left behind by an ancient Immortal's Restriction. Everyone, be careful," someone warned.

All the Star Lords were surprised, their faces solemn. Although they didn't see any danger, there was an inexplicable creepy feeling, as if they had entered a graveyard in the middle of the night, sending chills down their spines.

"There is another restriction!"

Inside the small world, Su Ping's eyes flickered and he caught a glimpse of an invisible formation pattern.

At this time, the two Star Lords who had cracked the restriction were also slightly shocked. One of them whispered, "There is another restriction!"

"Huh?"

Several Star Lords were startled, their expressions changing slightly.

The others, on the other hand, didn't show any change in their expressions. They seemed to have noticed it as well.

"Since the two of you have accepted the item, let's crack it together!" one of the Star Lords said at once.

The others nodded, not wanting the two to raise the price again.

The two of them didn't intend to bid anymore, mainly because they could tell that the restriction in front of them wasn't as complicated as the previous one; it was just an ancient illusion formation.

"Let me do it."

The rounder Star Lord said. He immediately took action to crack the formation.

Many astral patterns emerged, fitting with the ones in the void, as if a key had been inserted. Starlight intertwined and strands intertwined, looking like a large plate.

In less than fifteen minutes, the ancient illusion formation suddenly disappeared.

As the formation dissipated, the world in front of them was like a curtain being pulled away, revealing its true appearance.

The moment they saw the real scene, the originally noisy crowd instantly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes widened in disbelief!

The scene in front of them hadn't changed!

It was still the same palaces, the same ancient bridge-like steps.

However, the only change was that the empty space around them was actually filled with corpses!

These corpses were all killed in battle, or rather, died tragically!

Some were tiny human corpses and limbs, their blood had long solidified as if they had dried up. Some were the corpses of giant beasts that were as majestic as mountains, the blood on their fur had already hardened!

Some of the corpses had already turned into empty gray skeletons, and some were half-rotten.

There were corpses everywhere in the quiet land of deities and deities!

Everyone felt that their blood was freezing. Was this the real scene in the divine residence?

Some of the more timid Star State warriors were trembling and feeling weak in the knees.

Su Ping's expression slightly changed into a solemn one. What exactly happened in that ancient divine residence? Did those corpses fall with the divine residence, or were they the bodies of the intruders?

In the distance, the unaffiliated cultivators who were fighting for the deity's soil in the Taoist Garden also approached. They were all suffocated and speechless after seeing the scene.

The silence lasted for several minutes. A Star Lord was the first to charge out and say, "Since the barrier has been broken, I'll be going first!" He then jumped across the void and barged into the area of floating corpses.

He waved his astral power and pushed the motionless corpses away, making them fly out of the divine residence on the opposite side.

The corpses were easily pushed away by him. They were indeed all dead.

The others came back to their senses after seeing someone take action. Although they were shocked and scared, they were still tempted by the ultimate treasures in the divine residence. They quickly flew in.

The world behind the barrier was very large. They could no longer travel alone; they could charge and search for treasures on their own.

Boom!!

All of a sudden, thunder rumbled, followed by a roar.

Everyone looked over and saw that the Star Lord who rushed in first flew above the cliff. In the void in front of him, lightning appeared out of nowhere and smashed down, repelling him.

The Star Lord had to perform several astral techniques to deflect the lightning, but he was still knocked back hundreds of meters.

"What's going on?"

The others were shocked by the unexpected lightning. Apart from Su Ping and the purple-robed young man, the weakest of them was at the Star State. They were very knowledgeable and could easily tell that the lightning contained the power of a Heavenly Tribulation, which had a unique law in the world. It wasn't a regular lightning.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Star Lords pushed the floating corpses to the edge of the cliff. Immediately, a Star Lord noticed something strange and said, "There seems to be a special Great Dao that has sealed this space. No, to be precise, this is the space of another world, no one is allowed to enter!"

"How is that possible? The small world collapses when people die, unless the owner of this space is still alive …"

"Maybe he dug out the small world and sealed it here while he was still alive. Maybe … this is a small world that the owner of this divine residence constructed."

"I'm told that the small worlds of the Ascended Realm can exist forever. That should be the case."

The Star Lords gathered at the edge of the cliff and discussed in low voices.

"Why are the corpses fine?"

Suddenly, someone noticed a large number of corpses floating in the air above the cliff. There were all kinds of dragon corpses, phoenix corpses, human corpses, and corpses of giant beasts. However, they were all incomplete. Some had broken wings, and some had large holes in their hearts. Their flesh and blood were a mess, already dried and hard. They looked like specimens made of molten iron.

"That's weird …"

"Could it be because they are dead? This rule can actually distinguish between life and death. It seems that this is not a single rule, but a complete Dao that contains many kinds of rules. "

"Let me try."

A Star Lord suddenly made a move. A creature that exuded a terrible aura of death appeared beside him. It was made of rotten flesh and white bones, hideous and terrifying.

The battle pet growled. Suddenly, several skeletons crawled out from the ground at his feet. These skeletons had wings on their backs and held sabers in their hands. They were all powerful high-level skeletons with extraordinary combat strength.

Moreover, this summoning did not rely on the corpses on the ground. It was an advanced summoning technique.

Whoosh!

The summoned skeletons immediately flew toward the cliff.

However, as soon as the skeletons flew closer, several bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere and smashed the skeletons into pieces. Their bones fell to the depths of the cliff.

A cold wind blew from the depths of the cliff. It was as if something horrifying was blowing toward the outside, which made people's hair stand on end.

"These are all undead creatures. I can't do that either. Why?"

The Star Lord, who originally had some speculations, immediately frowned when he saw this scene.

The summoned skeletons were no different from dead creatures. It was strange that they could trigger the Lightning Test.

Inside the small world.

Su Ping frowned. He stared at the floating corpses with fear in his eyes.

"This is not a divine residence. It feels like hell."

"There are so many corpses but they have been preserved until this day. Is it because of the inhibition formation, or are those corpses so horrifying that they don't rot after death?"

Shennong's Three Punches and the others were discussing in a low voice. They were scared out of their wits as they looked at the corpses around them.

"Those corpses … seem to have committed suicide."

Su Ping gazed outside. His palms were emitting cold air.

At the same time, outside the small world, the Star Lords tried all kinds of methods. Some of them had mastered the rules of darkness and tried to use the undead energy to hide their presence. However, they were still detected by the Lightning Test and were forced to retreat.

Some of them tried to fight the Lightning Test with their own strength. However, they were able to resist the power of the Lightning Test at the beginning. As they went dozens of meters deeper, the power of the Lightning Test increased and they had to retreat.

"Huh? There are Lightning Tests on the stairs over there, but they seem to be much weaker. "

Right then, a Star Lord noticed the stairs that stretched across the Abyss.

Some Star Lords had already climbed up the stairs and were walking toward the opposite side.

The Lightning Test appeared on the stairs, but it was less powerful and could be resisted.

The others went to the stairs and climbed up one after another.

Boom!

As one of the Star Lords stepped out, an extremely violent Thunder Tribulation came crashing down. It was extremely powerful, comparable to the Thunder Tribulation on the cliff next to it.

The Star Lord's expression changed drastically. He hurried to defend himself but was forced to retreat.

The other Star Lords were confused. The Lightning Test that the Star Lord had suffered was far less violent.

Boom!

Another Star Lord also encountered the Lightning Test, but it was less powerful and was easily resisted.

"Haha, I told you I'm lucky, but you trash didn't believe me!" This Star Lord was the Ouhuang Alliance Leader. He casually dissolved the Lightning Test and laughed loudly as he looked at the person who was forced to retreat.

With that, he walked forward in large strides.

The other Star Lords looked at each other. Did it really depend on luck?

The Star Lord who was forced to retreat had an ugly expression. He hurriedly rushed forward again, but this time, what faced him was still the same violent Lightning Test as before!

"What's going on!"

The Star Lord was forced to retreat, and he couldn't help but roar in anger.

Damn it, this is intolerable!

He was unlucky if it happened once, but why did it happen twice in a row?

In this day and age, even Lightning Tests were dependent on the person!

"Let me tell you, this has something to do with looks."

Next to him, the Thousand Feathers Alliance Master said indifferently. He had already reached the sixth step, and he had just encountered the first Lightning Test. However, it was not powerful, and he easily dispersed it with his fan.

"Haha, I think so too." The Overlord Alliance Master, the female overlord, laughed out loud.

Although she was strong and burly, her face was so beautiful that it could overwhelm all living beings.

"Really?"

The other Heavenly Fist Alliance Master was a bit suspicious. He also encountered a violent Lightning Test when he just stepped on the step. Could it really be related to his looks?

He immediately controlled his bones and adjusted the skin on his face. Soon, his face became deep, and his eyebrows were straight. Then, he stepped on the step again.

Boom!

Another violent Lightning Test appeared and forced him to retreat.

"F * ck!"

The Heavenly Fist Alliance Master was exasperated. He was a little angry. Was he really treated differently?

Wasn't the Lightning Test an inanimate object?

Everyone in the Small Worlds was also surprised. The situation on the step was too strange. Some Star Lords easily walked up to ten steps before encountering the Lightning Test. Some were targeted by the Lightning Test as soon as they stepped on the step. Furthermore, it was the same no matter how many times they tried. Obviously, the Lightning Test was not random.

There seemed to be some kind of pattern that targeted certain people!

"Something's wrong. Why can they do it?"

"Damn it!"

Many Star Lords who were targeted by the steps stood outside the steps and stomped their feet in anger.

It would have been fine if they were all treated the same.

However, they were the ones who were targeted. This made them very angry!

They were anxious as they watched the others stride forward. If this went on, the treasures inside would be taken by others.

The two Star Lords who had cracked the barriers were also gloomy. They had also been targeted by the Lightning Test. They encountered the Lightning Test after only four steps. The further they went, the more powerful the Lightning Test became. They had no choice but to retreat.

They felt that they would be killed by the Lightning Test if this went on.

The Heaven's Test was even more powerful than the Star Lord's Test they had gone through. They hadn't reached the other side yet, considering the distance they had covered.

"What's the difference between us and them?"

"Is it because of our background?"

"No, the Lightning Test can't distinguish one's background. Besides, their backgrounds aren't the same. As far as I know, the leader of the Ouhuang Alliance and the leader of the Thousand Feathers Alliance are from different places and galaxies!"

"That's odd. Did they all eat the same thing?"

"How is that possible?"

"Wait, is the Lightning Test targeted according to one's strength? The stronger one is, the fiercer the Lightning Test will be? Wasn't that what happened during our Lightning Tests? "

"Huh? That does make sense. So, those who were forced to come down here are all strong? "

"Why do I feel relieved? Speaking of which, is it the other way around? If the weaker one is, the stronger the Lightning Test will be, then …"

Helpless, the Star Lords could only stand on the steps anxiously.

Soon, the leaders of the Thousand Feathers Alliance and the Overlord Alliance retreated. More and more leaders were forced to retreat by the stronger Lightning Tests.

The girl was stubbornly moving forward on the dozens of steps.

The Lightning Test she was going through was already horrifying. The will of the great path had frightened everyone in the small world, including Su Ping.

Su Ping wasn't afraid of the Lightning Test; he was afraid that the girl wouldn't be able to survive it.

Moreover, the way the corpses died made his hair stand on end, as if he was being stared at by something.

"Damn it!"

The girl finally couldn't hold on any longer when she reached the 38th step. She was forced back by the Lightning Test.

She gazed at the divine residence in front of her. The divine residence seemed to be thousands of kilometers away when she looked at it from a distance. However, from the stairs, the divine residence was only a hundred steps away!

However, the hundred steps were as difficult as climbing up to the sky!
