The divine palace swallowed the Heaven-Ascending Steps whole, and in the next moment it rapidly shrank and disappeared from Ye Xuan's mind.
Ye Xuan was stunned by what he saw.
The Heaven-Ascending Steps was actually swallowed up?
Or was it swallowed up by the shrine in one's own mind?
He felt a little dizzy.
But soon, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.
Damn it, his Heaven-Ascending Steps was swallowed up, what is he going to do now?
"Senior, senior."
Ye Xuan couldn't help but call out in his heart.
Because the senior figure in his mind seemed to have disappeared as well.
Isn't this just playing with people?
Without that fairy-like lady, how could he possibly be a match for the woman before him?
As expected, the female cultivator was also stunned for a moment after seeing the Heaven-Ascending Steps disappear.
A moment later, her face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression.
"No, how is this possible? Who are you? Give me back the Heaven-Ascending Steps!"
She's really going crazy.
This was her precious possession, her lifeline and her magical artifact, yet now she could no longer feel any connection between herself and the Heaven-Ascending Steps.
Where can you not go crazy?
With a roar, she began to change rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a skeleton.
No, it can't be entirely called a skeleton, because the surface of the skeleton was covered with a layer of skin.
Yes, it is indeed just a layer of skin.
However, Ye Xuan was unable to distinguish between the male and female.
Ye Xuan stared in disbelief at the woman who had turned into a skeleton.
Just then, he heard the fairy's voice in his mind. "Idiot, what are you standing there for? Run away!"
"Escape?"
Ye Xuan snapped out of his daze and, without a word, unleashed his Immortal Spiritual Qi and activated his Absolute Domain Teleportation. Combined with the Soaring Wandering Dragon Steps, he vanished from his spot in an instant.
I'm going to kill you!
However, despite his already extremely fast speed, even reaching his maximum speed.
But those withered bones were incredibly terrifying.
With a roar that shook the heavens and earth, one of the skeletal arms detached from the body, tore through the void, and crashed straight down towards Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan felt a chill run down his spine as he witnessed this scene.
He felt he was locked on, and there was no way to escape the arm's devastating attack.
" Dragon-Trapping Lock!"
Just as Ye Xuan was in danger, the fairy's voice rang out again.
The next moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Suddenly, countless chains appeared in the void.
The chains extended instantly, locking onto the skeletal arm.
A creaking sound rang out, and soon the arm was completely sealed off.
Not only that, even the skeleton was bound by countless chains.
"You, it's you?"
Upon seeing the Dragon-Trapping Lock, the skeleton seemed to guess the fairy's identity.
He struggled frantically.
The chains were rattling loudly.
"Run! Run!"
The fairy's voice came again.
This time, Ye Xuan didn't wait for him to urge him; he immediately sped off, fleeing into the distance at top speed.
The skeleton continued to struggle frantically, and the chains rattled loudly from the vibrations.
The terrifying residual force landed on the stunned cultivators below.
In the blink of an eye, countless cultivators were blasted to pieces.
"Run! Run!"
" The Heaven-Ascending Steps is gone! A terrifying being has appeared here! Run!"
Those cultivators who narrowly escaped death were utterly terrified after regaining their senses.
As they roared, they rushed headlong into the distance, seemingly oblivious to everything else.
"Ahhh, come back! Return my Heaven-Ascending Steps!"
"You insignificant ant, daring to steal my magical artifact! Even if you flee to the heavens or the earth, I will not forgive you! I will crush you to death!"
The skeleton had gone completely mad.
However, he was completely unable to break free from the Dragon-Trapping Lock.
No one knows how much time passed, but after he broke free of the Dragon-Trapping Lock, not only was Ye Xuan gone, but there wasn't a single other cultivator left in the area.
Ye Xuan landed in a certain area and instantly concealed his aura.
He glanced back at the location of the Heaven-Ascending Steps, still feeling somewhat apprehensive.
That's terrifying.
That's terrifying.
Without the fairy-like lady, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape this calamity.
" The Heaven-Ascending Steps is gone; that ruthless person must have perished too, right?"
"Fallen? Are you kidding me? That ruthless person ran away a long time ago, didn't you see?"
"Huh? Without the protection of the Heaven-Ascending Steps, isn't that guy doomed?"
"Of course, the three major powers will definitely not let him go. This guy is really pathetic. He finally reached the top, but he couldn't go to the Heavenly Domain. Instead, he lost the Heaven-Ascending Steps."
"Who says otherwise? Without the protection of the Heaven-Ascending Steps, he's probably doomed."
Just as Ye Xuan was in shock, he suddenly heard a discussion among several cultivators in the distance.
Hearing this discussion, he was momentarily stunned.
Yes, the Heaven-Ascending Steps is gone, so what will he do now?
Without the Heaven-Ascending Steps, wouldn't he be doomed once those Tian Gu beings descend upon him?
"Holy shit!"
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but swear, and then without saying another word, he left the place as quickly as possible.
As expected, the three major powers are aware of what happened here and will soon send powerful figures over.
If he doesn't leave soon, he might really get surrounded and trapped.
