About a hundred ters away, Zhang Xiaohao and his companions sat atop a black tree, taking in the scenery ahead.
"Master, there’s sothing strange about this place! It doesn’t look like the Demon Ancestor’s Tomb!" Zha Muzhen said, frowning.
"The place indicated by the black arrow is precisely here, but it’s pointing upward! If I’m not wrong, the entrance to the Demon Ancestor’s Tomb should be above this Heaven Rank." Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
"Master, what should we do now? From what it looks like, the Demon Ancestor’s Tomb isn’t open yet. Based on my guess, perhaps soone else hasn’t arrived! Otherwise, these Eating Immortal Demon Ants wouldn’t be guarding here idly." Zha Muzhen speculated.
"You’ve finally learned to use your brain! You’re right; indeed, soone hasn’t arrived! Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this." Zhang Xiaohao acknowledged.
"Master, look quickly, it’s them — the sisters!" At this mont, Zha Muzhen suddenly exclaid, pointing in a direction.
Without Zha Muzhen’s reminder, Zhang Xiaohao had already seen two figures, one purple and one white, swiftly approaching. Who else could they be?
"Weren’t they already gone? Why are they back?" Zhang Xiaohao looked puzzled.
The Third Saintess, as if she knew what Zhang Xiaohao was thinking, paused and then said.
"This is the Dark Jungle; although you can protect them temporarily, you can’t shield them forever! It’s perfectly normal for a mishap to happen on their way back."
"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded and said nothing more.
Everyone has their own destiny, and he’s not a savior to help them for life.
Both of them, chased by countless Eating Immortal Demon Ants, were driven by these ants just like the others in the circle.
After driving them in, these Eating Immortal Demon Ants did not attack them further, but centered around the altar ahead, encircling everyone inside.
As ti passed, other races were driven over by these Eating Immortal Demon Ants and were all rounded into the circle ahead, after which the ants reford the siege around them.
Ti flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the three days, no more groups were driven inside; it seed that all groups from the Dark Jungle had been driven into the circle ahead, unless they were consud by these Eating Immortal Demon Ants.
"The show is about to start." Zhang Xiaohao said with a gleam in his eyes.
As he finished speaking, waves of pure, grand Demonic Qi erged as the center around the Heaven Rank, enclosing everything within three thousand yards, just at the alert line.
Then, with a flick, these Demonic Qi consolidated into a black magic shield, enveloping everyone inside.
Inside, people looked terrified, clutching their magical weapons tightly, ready for any disaster.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Soon after, an overwhelming pressure within the black magic shield pressed inward from the edge, like a turtle.
Those at the edge, regardless of their cultivation level, were directly crushed by this pressure, exploding into blood mist and scattering on the ground.
"No! The air carries this enormous pressure!"
"Everyone, run! This pressure is lethal!"
"Get out of my way; whoever blocks my path will be killed!"
Frightened by the sudden developnt, everyone quickly rushed ahead, desperately wishing they had two more legs, or better yet, wings to swiftly fly upwards.
Minutes later, everyone reached the foot of the Heaven Rank, while the pressure from the edge kept advancing, now halfway through, seemingly intending to drive everyone onto the Heaven Rank, forcing them to climb upward.
Sharp-eyed and experienced old monsters, seeing this, had their eyes sparkle briefly, took a glance at the Heaven Rank, gritted their teeth, and hurried toward it.
With soone leading, others naturally followed.
In an instant, over eight thousand people, under extre pressure from the space, ascended the Heaven Rank, including the sisters in purple and white.
Soon after, the spatial gravity suppression stopped at the foot of the Heaven Rank.
anwhile, the sky-reaching Heaven Rank erupted with terrifying pressure, as if coming alive. Instantly, countless blue lights emanated, suppressing everyone upon them.
"Ah! My spiritual power is gone!"
"Why can’t I use Nascent Soul Power?"
"What’s going on? Why can’t I even use Divine Thought?"
"How long is this damned gravity suppression going to last? Why is there gravity suppression from the Heaven Rank too?"
Experiencing personal changes, people shouted in unison.
Facing enormous pressure from the Heaven Rank, unable to channel spiritual power or other ans, they struggled solely with physical strength.
Those quick to react and rich in experience, endured the imnse pressure from the Heaven Rank, struggling yet climbing upward.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
At this mont, so still lingering on the first step get overwheld by increasing pressure, crushed to death, exploding into countless blood mists which spread upon the ground.
This sudden scene made everyone pale, sensing the huge pressure from beneath, feeling their blood, ridians, and more about to succumb, explode into blood mists following suit, their urgency grew.
Now they think to look up at the Heaven Rank.
So experienced ones, relying on physical strength, have already ascended over ten steps.
