"Yang Hao!"
Someone immediately charged out from the crowd and cried out sorrowfully when they saw Yang Hao fall from the 9th step and lay on the ground with a ghastly pale complexion.
"Yang Hao is finished!" A member of the Fire Spirit Race sighed as he gazed at Yang Hao who was unable to say anything and could only lie there powerlessly with blood flowing out of his mouth.
"He should still be saved, right?" A member of the Fire Spirit Race spoke hesitantly.
"He can't be saved!" A middle aged man from the Fire Spirit Race stared at Yang Hao and shook his head. "Most of the bones in Yang Hao's body have shattered while his internal organs and meridians have been completely shattered. His body is in a mess, and he probably only has a few breaths of life left!"
"Moreover, even if he can be saved, he'll never be able to stand up again. He can only lie on the bed for the rest of his life and be a living corpse. His life is over!"
"The 9th step can't be compared to the 8th step. The backlash it causes is more than 10 times greater than the 8th step. Yang Hao has only died since he forcefully ascended the 9th step!"
"A genius has fallen!" A member of the Fire Spirit Race sighed.
"Who could have imagined that something like this would happen?" A member of the Fire Spirit Race laughed bitterly.
"Yang Hao's situation is exactly the same as Xing Ling's!" An old man from the Fire Spirit Race shook his head and said, "Both of them were unable to tolerate others surpassing them, so they forcefully did something they couldn't accomplish. In the end, it caused a disaster!"
"However, what's surprising is that Yang Hao, who was originally Xing Ling's inner demon, actually had someone become his inner demon as well. Then, it caused Yang Hao and Xing Ling to make the same mistake. It can truly be said that the affairs of the world are unpredictable!"
"That's right!" Many other members of the Fire Spirit Race nodded when they heard the old man. After that, they gazed at Yang Hao who had stopped moving with pity and sighed.
"Those 3 Half-Spirits …!" A member of the Fire Spirit Race spoke once more, and he was just about to say something when a 'clang' suddenly resounded. Another melodious sound resounded, and then it interrupted him.
In an instant, a boundless deathly silence once again enveloped the entire area!
Under countless shocked gazes, Xiao Fan led Shangguan Chen and Shangguan Tong onto the tenth step, standing at a place where all the members of the Fire Spirit Race had to look up to.
At this moment, it was as if time had stopped, causing all the sounds in the surroundings to cease, and only an endless silence remained.
Time was ticking away!
No one knew how much time had passed. Perhaps it was an instant, or perhaps it was many years. In short, time had completely lost its meaning at this moment. Only then did the members of the Fire Spirit Race finally wake up.
"The tenth step? How, how is this possible?" A member of the Fire Spirit Race paused for a moment before his face flushed red. He used all his strength to shout, and his voice was extremely hoarse and dry.
"The tenth step!" A member of the Fire Spirit Race's legs suddenly went soft, and he immediately sat down on the ground. After that, he muttered to himself in a daze.
"Those three Half-Spirits!" At this moment, the great figures of Skyflame City stopped fighting for Xiao Fan and the others. Their pupils had constricted as they stared at the backs of Xiao Fan and the others, and their gazes were filled with deep seriousness.
Those who ascended to the eighth step were true geniuses of the Fire Spirit Race, those who ascended to the ninth step were peak geniuses of the Fire Spirit Race, and those who ascended to the tenth step were peerless geniuses of the Fire Spirit Race.
Such peerless geniuses were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in the Fire Spirit Race. There were probably only around a dozen of them, and every single one of them was renowned throughout the Fire Spirit Race.
On the other hand, it was impossible for peerless geniuses like them to be taken in by the people of Skyflame City because they didn't possess the qualifications to do so. The Skyflame City was too small, and it couldn't accommodate such great figures!
Moreover, once news of this spread, the higher-ups of the Fire Spirit Race would definitely be alarmed. At that time, the higher-ups of the Fire Spirit Race would definitely send people over personally and take Xiao Fan and the others away. They would treat them as important seeds and nurture them carefully.
"The tenth step!"
The geniuses of the Fire Spirit Race who stood on the seventh step were completely speechless at this moment. They stared at Xiao Fan and the others who stood on the tenth step with horror, and they felt like their bodies had suddenly stiffened.
When they thought about what they had said just now, they felt as if their faces had been slapped a few hundred times. Their faces were red and swollen, and it was extremely painful.
Suddenly!
"Alright!" A sudden voice resounded in the sky. It was like a thunderclap that resounded by the ears of all the Fire Spirit Race members, and it shook their eardrums to the point of constantly trembling. It was extremely painful.
Some of the Fire Spirit Race members immediately raised their heads to look over, and then they immediately lowered their heads when they saw who it was, and they revealed an extremely respectful expression.
It was the governor of Sky Flame City and the true core figures of Sky Flame City. They had heard that three Half-Spirits had ascended the ninth step, so they immediately put down everything they were doing and hurried over.
However, when they arrived, they just happened to see that not only had Xiao Fan and the others ascended the ninth step, but they had even exceeded everyone's expectations by ascending the tenth step, which shocked everyone present. After being stunned for a short moment, they laughed heartily. At the same time, they could not help but cheer.
Sky Flame City was a new city, and it could only be considered as a mid-tier existence among the 98 cities of the Fire Spirit Race. Although 14 geniuses who could participate in the Fiercest Ground had been born before Xiao Fan and the others had ascended the twelfth step, it could be said that Sky Flame City had quite a good chance of moving its ranking up a little. Not only would it benefit all the Fire Spirit clansmen in Sky Flame City, but its authority and status would rise as well.
However, the chances were not absolute. It was not impossible for the 14 geniuses from the Fire Spirit Race who had ascended the eighth step to be buried in the Fiercest Ground. Moreover, the possibility of that happening was very high.
It was just that he was thinking on the bright side of everything.
The geniuses who had ascended the tenth step could not be compared to the geniuses who had ascended the eighth step. The difference between the two could be said to be like heaven and earth.
With Xiao Fan and the other two peerless geniuses from the Half-Spirit Race holding down the fort, it could be said that Sky Flame City's ranking and the benefits of the Fire Spirit Race in Sky Flame City were almost guaranteed.
How could the governor of the Fire Spirit Race and the other core figures not be overjoyed by such a joyous event? They could not help but cheer loudly.
However!
Xiao Fan who was standing on the tenth step remained unmoved in the face of the cheering of the governor of the Fire Spirit Race and the other core figures in the sky. He stood there temporarily as he carefully sensed and locked onto the whereabouts of the precious treasure in the huge tomb.
As though he had sensed something, Xiao Fan continued to sense and immediately lifted his leg again. He brought Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen up to the eleventh step.
Clang!
The unique sound that belonged to the eleventh step resonated in the surroundings. It reverberated in the air and did not disperse for a long time.
At this moment, not only were all the people from the Fire Spirit Race below the twelve steps stunned again, even the smiles on the faces of the governor and the other core figures in the sky froze. They were all frozen on the spot. Their minds suddenly went blank, and they lost the ability to think.
"The eleventh step!"
At this moment, there was no exception in the huge Sky Flame City. Everyone was stunned on the spot as they stared blankly at Xiao Fan and the other two like stone statues.
Only three people in the Fire Spirit Race had reached the eleventh step, and they were Xing Yan, Yang Xuan, and Yin Long who were reputed to be the future stars of the Fire Spirit Race!
There was absolutely no one in the Fire Spirit Race who did not know Xing Yan, Yang Xuan, and Yin Long. The three of them were practically the idols of the younger generation of the Fire Spirit Race.
Countless young people of the Fire Spirit Race took them as their lifelong goal. At the same time, they were proud to be able to get close to them and speak to them.
Many young people of the Fire Spirit Race would compete to collect and collect an ordinary item that the three of them had used. If it was sold on the market, countless young people of the Fire Spirit Race would fight over it. In the end, the price of the item would be so high that it would be astounding.
But now, three supreme geniuses who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xing Yan, Yang Xuan, and Yin Long had been born. Three new resplendent stars had gradually risen as well. They would illuminate the entire southern wasteland together with Xing Yan, Yang Xuan, and Yin Long. They would become the new idols of countless young people of the Fire Spirit Race.
"The eleventh step!" The faces of the dozen or so Fire Spirit Clan geniuses on the twelve scales were completely ashen this time. Every single one of them seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Their originally tall and straight bodies slowly bent down, and they became extremely dispirited. Their eyes were completely devoid of color, and they were completely dim.
When Xiao Fan reached the tenth step, they were still unwilling to accept the outcome. This was because while the tenth step was difficult, it was not impossible for them to reach the tenth step as long as they continued to cultivate arduously and improve themselves.
However, the eleventh step was completely different!
The eleventh step was like a natural chasm!
If one wanted to step onto the eleventh step, it was not something that could be achieved through hard work alone. What was more important was talent, and it had to be an extremely terrifying talent.
