Dong!

The instant Zhou Qing's fist landed, a thunderous sound resounded through the valley, causing everyone's heart to tremble violently.

Everyone stared blankly at Zhou Qing, not knowing why he would suddenly punch the ground.

Ka-cha.

Suddenly, a tiny crack appeared on Zhou Qing's fist.

In the instant that crack appeared, Zhou Qing felt the mountain-like pressure on his body dissipate completely.

"Done!"

He was overjoyed and immediately stood up. With a stomp of his feet, his body was like a gliding falcon as he jumped towards the top of the stone stairs.

At this moment, the morning sun had finally leapt into the sky and the golden light flooded the land.

Zhou Qing landed firmly on the 200th step, breathing out a mouthful of impure air.

The moment he turned around, the crack line on the stone stairs abruptly expanded like a spider web, quickly covering the stone steps below level 160.

Boom!

The next moment, a loud sound echoed out.

Like a broken mirror, the stone steps that had existed for hundreds of years suddenly collapsed!

Everyone was terrified and jumped up the moment the stone stairs collapsed.

Within the valley, smoke and dust instantly filled the air.

These people were all Soul Condensation cultivators, the collapse of the stone staircase could not hurt them, but they could not float in the air.

All of a sudden, everyone fell to the ground like dumplings in a pot, their expressions extremely unsightly.

After crawling for so long, everything was ruined!

At this moment, everyone was standing in the middle of the valley, at the same starting line!

Everyone was clenching their teeth as they lifted their heads to look. On top of the mountain peak, that figure was standing proudly as if he was an emperor looking down on the ground.

Buzz.

A strange fluctuation shook the world, and immediately afterwards, the boundary at the end of the valley began to ripple, emitting a hazy light.

This was the exit of the Sumeru Realm.

The appearance of the exit signified the end of the Soul Formation Stage competition, allowing everyone to return.

At the same time, on the martial arena.

The giant screen of light suddenly bloomed with a dazzling light. Very soon, a scene gradually appeared, becoming increasingly clear. This was the scene of the stone staircase within the Sumeru Realm.

At this moment, the spectators outside the Xumi World could also see the results of the match through the massive screen.

Hundreds of thousands of fiery eyes looked at the light screen at the same time, full of anticipation.

Su Mu and Lan Yuan clenched their fists tightly as they felt apprehensive in their hearts.

The results of the Solidified Soul Realm competition was directly related to the fate of the Lan family and the ancient monolith gate after the ranking tournament.

However, when they saw the scene on the curtain of light, the entire martial arena instantly fell silent.

In the scene, it was filled with ruins. The huge pressure from the stone stairs had mostly shattered, leaving only a portion of the stairs leading to the summit.

On the ground, in the middle of the broken stone staircase, stood the disciples of the hundreds of immortal sects. Whether it was the celestial gate or the members of the four great clans, they were all among them.

Everyone looked up at the sky, their faces filled with anger.

The spectators in the arena also subconsciously followed their gazes and raised their heads.

On top of the towering mountain peak, a slender figure with a bare upper body stood proudly. Bathing in the golden morning sun, he looked like a demon!

"That is …" Song Changqing?! "

A voice filled with shock and disbelief resounded throughout the arena.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded!

What happened inside?

In the Sumeru Realm.

Zhou Qing stood at the peak of the mountain, feeling the hundreds of gazes filled with hatred from the ground. He helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

Even he didn't expect such a thing to happen!

He had followed the Curse Spirit's instructions and attacked that weak spot in order to destroy the spirit formation. At the very last moment, he had managed to reach the top and obtain a top-quality technique.

He had thought that with a single punch, the pressure from the stone stairs would completely disappear. He hadn't thought that this thing would be so weak that it would completely collapse and collapse.

However, although it was an accident, Zhou Qing did not feel any guilt at all.

The pressure on the stone stairs and even the Sumeru Realm belonged to the Mysterious Sky Sect.

No longer pondering about this, Zhou Qing looked around. At the center of the mountain peak, there was a circular stone platform about the height of a person.

On top of the stone platform, there was a palm-sized cyan jade slip, which was wrapped by a misty cyan light as it floated in the air.

There was a very high chance that the technique recorded in this cyan jade slip was the top-quality one!

Overjoyed, Zhou Qing quickly walked over and unceremoniously grabbed the jade slip before putting it back into the Fated Stone Space.

"You dare!"

"Put down the jade chip!"

The instant he succeeded, two roars of shock and anger suddenly exploded from the clouds in the sky.

Soon after, two giant palms formed from mana shot out from the clouds and grabbed towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's face darkened. He wanted to dodge, but his body seemed to have sunk into a quagmire, unable to move.

Suddenly, an illusory, ancient sigh resounded throughout the entire Godly Mt. Xumi.

In the next moment, the two giant palms started to crack and dissipate. Soon, they turned into boundless Spiritual Qi and completely dissipated into the air.

"Elder Chihuo!"

In the sky, the two elders of the Black Heaven Sect, Di Feng and Yu Fu, shivered as they greeted in unison.

Adept Crimson Fire once more attacked!

"Don't act rashly, let's talk after we leave."

Adept Crimson Fire's voice sounded somewhat helpless.

As the sound of his voice faded, the eyes of everyone within the spatial realm, including the two elders, blurred, and in the next instant, they appeared on the martial arena.

"Elders, what happened in the Sumeru Realm?"

The Li family's Patriarch Li Mo endured the first, asking with a serious expression.

"Sigh …" "What a disaster, what a disaster!"

Di Feng stared coldly at Zhou Qing for a long time. Suddenly, he pounded his chest and stamped his feet, letting out a long sigh.

The shriveled old man had a bitter smile on his face. After a long time, he recounted everything that had happened in the spatial realm.

From the moment when Zhao Xing saw that the money was up and stirred up the competition, to the moment when Song Changqing blocked up the valley and collected the money to buy a path, to the moment when he climbed the stone stairs and smashed the stone stairs with his fist …

The more they heard, the more shocked they were. The more they heard, the more dumbstruck they became.

Someone suddenly looked at Li Mo with a strange expression.

At this moment, the latter's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot!

A single man meant nothing to him?

To challenge a hundred heaven's pride level experts and forge one's invincible power?

It was all bullshit!

Li Mo had never expected that everything Zhou Qing did inside was for the sake of extortion and robbery!

Yuwen Huan looked at the hundreds of Mages present. Her face was as ugly as a dead fly. She was almost unable to hold back her laughter, and almost suffered internal injuries.

He had already seen that his son's storage ring was still there, perhaps the only person who hadn't been viciously harmed by Song Changqing.

On the Lan family's side, a gloating sneer appeared on Lan Yuan's old face.

Before, I didn't get any of you, but all of you were laughing happily, praising that little bastard Song Changqing to the death.

And now, would he still be able to smile?

I've told you before, that little bastard is a shameless scum among cultivators!

Su Mu's face twitched slightly as he stared at the calm Zhou Qing.

At this moment, he was actually somewhat glad that the latter had not agreed to join the Ancient Tablet Gate.

This fellow is too good at causing trouble. Even with a real person around, he probably won't be able to cover him up!

"Song Changqing is messing up the competition's order and intentionally destroying the pressure on the stone stairs. This old man thinks that the results of this competition should be invalid, and he should be disqualified from participating!"

Lan Yuan's expression changed. A moment later, he suddenly shouted in a low voice.

As soon as Lan Yuan finished his words, the Mage experts all nodded in agreement.

Zhou Qing was the only one who managed to climb the stairs to the top. All the disciples fell to the ground.

How could such a thing be counted?

At the same time, Su Mu's face instantly darkened. Just as he was about to speak up, Zhou Qing suddenly laughed coldly.

"The competition's results are invalid? Old bastard from the Lan family, what big words you have there! "Do you really think you're the leader of the Mysterious Sky Sect?"

Zhou Qing's tone was sarcastic. The boldness of his words caused everyone's expressions to change. Lan Yuan's face was even darker as his mana surged. He wanted to make a move.

"What? You want to touch me?"

However, Zhou Qing showed no fear, casting a sidelong glance at Lan Yuan, sneering incessantly. "I will stand here and let you kill me. Do you dare?"

Provoke, naked provocation!

Lan Yuan was trembling from head to toe. His aura was extremely chaotic. It seemed as if he could attack at any time, but in the end, he didn't dare to make any moves.

He didn't dare to forget Sang Heng's warning, much less offend it!

If Sang Heng was truly angered, then even if the Lan Clan was directly annihilated, no one would dare to say anything bad about him.

This was a gamble using the Lan family. Lan Yuan could not afford to gamble!

Zhou Qing sneered and immediately said in a clear voice, "Seniors, the truth is that I really want to know, just where did I do wrong?"

"There's a rule that says you can't kill people. I just took their storage rings, that's all. "What is breaking the rules?"

"Even if I climbed the pressure stone stairs, I didn't disturb anyone. I climbed them myself!"

"All seniors should have a rough idea of how powerful the pressure of the one hundred sixtieth step is, right? Under that kind of strong pressure, if I release my pressure, is there a problem? "

"That stone staircase has been in disrepair for a long time. It collapsed because it could not withstand my strength. How can you blame it on me? "Ridiculous to the extreme!"

Zhou Qing's words caused many people's faces to turn ashen. Elder Di Feng even wanted to slap him to death on the spot.

The pressure of the stone staircase's enchantment was personally laid by a person himself. How could it possibly have been left behind for so long?

But with this brat's weak strength, how could he accurately find the barrier's weak point? Was it really as he said, a fluke?

At this moment, many of the experts felt doubt in their hearts.

"Hehe, what a sharp tongue."

Suddenly, an old voice seemed to come from the horizon.

Soon after, the space above the arena began to vibrate as a figure clad in long robes that gave off the air of a transcendent being gradually became clear.

"Elder Chihuo!"

The three elders, Di Feng, Lin Long, and Yu Fu, were all startled and immediately saluted respectfully.

Yet another Adept had personally come!

The rest of the Mage experts also reacted in an instant, bowing in unison. The hundreds of thousands of spectators in the arena were extremely excited.

"Welcome, Adept Crimsonflame!"

Their roars shook the heaven and earth, resounding throughout the entire arena.

Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned ugly. The next moment, he felt as if he had been enveloped by another extremely penetrating gaze.

Sang Heng felt that he had almost been seen through as he was only at the early stage of the Mortal Realm.

As for this Spiritual Master Crimson Fire, he was far stronger than Spiritual Master Sang Heng!
