In the distance, there was yellow sand all over the sky, and three giant windstorms were rotating, stirring the thick clouds in the sky. The black thick clouds were surging, and lightning flashed in the clouds, turning into a vast flood dragon. It looked majestic and at the same time, it revealed the killing intent of God.
While cursing silently, Locke reacted quickly and ran in the opposite direction of the storm decisively.
However, in less than half an hour, the storm still caught up. The sand hit on his face, making him feel a sting like being cut by a knife.
“Whoosh~ Whoosh~”
There seemed to be countless tentacles on the ground, tightly wrapping around Locke’s feet, making him need to spend a lot of physical strength for every step.
Gritting his teeth, Locke continued to walk against the wind stones. A few minutes later, the storm became more powerful, as if it was going to tear people apart.
Boom!
Under the impact of the storm, the ground shook even more violently.
“Whoosh!”
Locke gasped for breath. Even though he was strong enough, it was difficult for him to deal with such a powerful storm.
Gritting his teeth, Locke kept pressing the strength in his body and ran toward the distance.
He kept moving forward, forgetting the passage of time.
Boom!
In the end, Locke was still caught up by the strong storm. Just as he was about to be stirred into the storm, a light suddenly appeared in the distance.
Locke suddenly opened his eyes and found that they had arrived at a huge square, and beside him, Carol also closed her eyes. At this moment, Carol’s forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and she was suffering from some kind of torture.
More than thirty people were sitting cross-legged on the square, all of whom closed their eyes tightly and shrouded in a light curtain.
In addition to these figures, there were also five or six cold corpses. These people’s faces were livid and their eyes were wide open as if they had encountered something terrible. According to Locke’s judgment, these should be the person who had failed the test.
And he was the first one to wake up.
The people of the Vito family and the Imperial Mage Academy were among them.
How about taking advantage of this opportunity to kill these people from the Vito family and the Imperial Mage Academy…
Locke couldn’t help but think of this idea, but when he looked around the stone statues, Locke immediately dispelled this idea. The current situation was not clear. If he acted rashly, he would probably encounter danger.
After giving up this idea, Locke began to observe the surroundings.
In front of the square, there was a huge milky white stair, which was very long and looked like a thousand steps. At the beginning of the stair, there was a stone tablet with two words “Heavenly Ladder” written on it. The brushwork had even ups and downs and the style was well-proportioned, which gave him a sense of sacred majesty.
The stair led to an arched door, which was covered by a layer of light curtain.
When Locke was about to walk up the stairs, Carol’s exhalation sound came from beside. He turned around and saw Carol waking up.
They then walked toward the stairs.
Without hesitation, Locke went straight up the stairs. The moment he stepped on the stairs, Locke’s face changed slightly. Just as his feet touched the steps, the vitality in his body had lost a little.
This thing could devour people’s vitality!
Besides the loss of his vitality, there was also a stronger pressure falling on him.
Locke looked more serious than ever before, but he didn’t hesitate to take the second step.
Sure enough, when he stepped onto the stairs again, the vitality in his body decreased a lot.
Carol also frowned and found the problem.
However, they didn’t hesitate but continued to walk forward. In the blink of an eye, they had advanced a hundred steps. At this time, their appearance had undergone a significant change. Locke could clearly feel that the skin under the mask was aging. He turned around and found that Carol was the same. However, compared with the previous girlish feeling, she looked more charming now.
At this time, the people in the square woke up one after another. Of course, there were also seven or eight figures that twitched and fell to the ground.
“They went up first!”
A young man’s face darkened. The magic energy in front of him surged, and in the blink of an eye, magic had condensed and smashed in the direction of Locke and Carol.
Boom!
However, the powerful magic disappeared in midair without any ripples.
Then, to everyone’s astonishment, they saw a stone statue standing on the side of the square move its body, and the long sword in its hand shot toward the young man. The long sword moved very fast. In the blink of an eye, it had rushed in front of the young man and pierced through his body.
Puff~
The young man fell straight to the ground and died with open eyes.
“Idiot.”
Looking at the corpse on the ground, the young man in black laughed disdainfully. This is the Greg Mountain. It’s not a place to act wildly.
‘Don’t you see that even that conceited guy didn’t make a move?’
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look at Prince Vito.
Staring at Locke and Carol, Prince Vito’s eyes turned cold. Without wasting any time, he rushed up the stairs.
The other geniuses were not willing to lag at this time. They also ran toward the heavenly ladder.
“My life is losing!”
Someone shouted in horror.
“We can’t give up. The temple is right in front of us. This is the last test!”
Many people gritted their teeth and continued to move forward under the powerful pressure and the passage of their life.
By this time, Locke and Carol had reached more than 500 steps. At this time, Locke looked like a middle-aged person, and there were traces of wrinkles in the corners of Carol’s eyes.
What made them even more painful was the increasing pressure as they went up. Now they had only walked half the way, they felt as if they were pressed down by a mountain.
At the same time, Prince Vito and the others had also reached 200 steps.
Half an hour later, almost everyone slowed down.
At the 999 steps, two old men stood side by side. They had white hair and looked more than 90 years old.
They were Locke and Carol.
“Damn it!”
Looking at the two figures standing at the top, Prince Vito gritted his teeth and wished he could smash them with magic. However, although he was jealous, he was still rational.
“Ahem~” Locke looked at the last step and coughed. The more than 900 steps had almost taken away their lives.
He looked at the old woman next to him. The old woman was a little stooped, and her face was full of wrinkles and age spots. It was faintly discerned that this old woman must be a super beauty when she was young.
“Do you know,” Looking at the white-haired old man beside her, Carol said seriously, “When you were young, you were not as good-looking as you were old.”
They smiled and then stepped on the last step.
When the last foot touched the step, they instantly felt a tremendous vital essence pouring into their bodies. Their almost dried bodies were instantly replenished.
From afar, it could only see that they were shrouded in a blue luster. Their faces were changing at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, they had recovered their previous looks, and the energy in their bodies had returned to its peak.
Ignoring the others, Locke and Carol walked straight into the door and disappeared into the light curtain.
