588: Chapter 588 Heavenly Ladder Trial!

Such a scene.

Even Li Fan, who was in the position of an observer, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This bronze hall truly was, as Ming Yan had said, fraught with great danger!

If he had not heeded Ming Yan's advice and rashly charged forward, his fate would inevitably have been exactly the same as that Ice Crystal Divine Bird!!

Thinking of this, Li Fan also felt a wave of fear in his heart.

"Indeed!"

Watching this scene, Ming Yan couldn't help but reveal a faint, scornful smile on his face.

Looking across the entire scene, he was probably the only person completely unsurprised by this turn of events.

There was no other way; he had dealings with the Blood God Hall before.

Given the Blood God Hall's style of devouring people without spitting out the bones.

Obtaining this bronze hall couldn't possibly be that simple!

Shifting the gaze back to the field.

Looking at the blood mist transformed from the Ice Crystal Divine Bird.

Whether it was the fierce beasts on the field or the Prodigies from the Alien Universe, none were now rushing towards the bronze hall with the same fervor as before.

That barrier of the bronze hall filled them with immense dread.

They couldn't be sure if they would meet the same end if they charged forward.

However, since the two major factions had already started fighting again, naturally, they couldn't just stop either.

Thus, a strange scene unfolded.

At a glance.

The Prodigies from the Alien Universe and these top-tier fierce beasts were locked in constant battle, yet not a single one dared to take a probing step towards the bronze hall.

For a moment, it seemed this battle had lost its clear purpose.

Soon.

Prodigies from This Universe also began arriving at the mountain peak one after another.

Seeing the magnificent bronze hall at the basin's center, they too were extremely excited, believing a great opportunity lay within.

However, upon observing the situation of the Prodigies from the Alien Universe and the group of fierce beasts, they calmed down, not daring to lead the charge towards the bronze hall either, choosing instead to watch from their positions.

Seeing this situation.

Li Fan was both amused and exasperated, but then immediately furrowed his brows tightly.

With everyone too afraid to approach.

How was he supposed to continue having others test the waters for him?

Just as Li Fan was feeling a headache over this.

One Prodigy from the Alien Universe finally couldn't hold back.

"A bunch of cowards afraid of death!"

"I'll do it!"

This was a burly, dark-skinned youth who stood like an iron tower.

His aura was at the Ninth Stage Peak Domain Lord level, and seven strands of law power swirled around him, making his strength utterly terrifying!

Such combat power clearly marked him as one of the older-generation Prodigies from the Alien Universe.

At this moment, he charged towards the bronze hall at extreme speed, simultaneously summoning a massive shield radiating with cyan light.

This giant shield was a treasure artifact, its grade not low. From the intricate inscriptions carved upon it, one could tell this shield could likely even withstand a full-force strike from an existence above the seventh stage of the World Lord realm!!

And as this youth leaped out.

The battle situation on the field instantly came to a momentary halt.

Whether fierce beasts or prodigies from both universes, all eyes focused on this youth, wanting to see if he could withstand the power of the bronze hall's barrier.

And soon.

They received the answer to that question.

Boom!

Boom!

The moment the youth raised the giant shield and made contact with the barrier, two explosive booms thundered forth.

In the blink of an eye.

The giant shield turned into a sky full of dust, and the youth transformed into a mist of blood.

The entire scene was like an egg striking a stone, a purely suicidal act!

This sight plunged everyone present, including the fierce beasts, into brief silence.

Even with such a treasure artifact, the youth couldn't withstand the barrier's power.

It seemed the opportunity within this bronze hall was most likely beyond their reach!!

At this point, many prodigies had already begun to consider retreat in their hearts.

They were indeed extremely curious about what astonishing opportunity lay within the bronze hall and very much wanted to obtain it.

But from the looks of it now, they probably didn't have the life to claim it.

With the Spiritual Treasure Tide arriving, opportunities were everywhere; they were hardly in short supply. If they couldn't obtain the opportunity from this bronze hall, they could still gather from the other holy light opportunities. Accumulating bit by bit, the total value of the opportunities obtained might not be much less than what was inside this bronze hall.

Having reasoned this through.

A small portion of the prodigies immediately made a decisive decision, swiftly withdrawing from the battle, unwilling to stake everything on a single hope.

Such a situation was undoubtedly not good news in Li Fan's eyes.

Although the barrier's power was indeed astonishing, perhaps after a few more attempts, the barrier might disappear?!

If there were no more people to test the waters, it would become considerably more troublesome for him to obtain the bronze hall.

Fortunately.

Just as Li Fan felt the situation was becoming slightly tricky, a sudden change occurred!

A burst of purple radiance suddenly shone from the center of the violet-gold bronze hall.

The next second.

A terrifying energy swept across the surrounding hundreds of kilometers.

The blinding radiance caused all the prodigies from both universes, including Li Fan, to instinctively shield their eyes.

And when the radiance softened and gradually dissipated.

The scene on the field couldn't help but send chills down the spines of the assembled prodigies.

Looking up.

All the surrounding fierce beasts had actually lost their vitality, perishing on the spot!

"What... what is this?!"

"Hiss! All the fierce beasts, all dead? It was caused by that radiance just now!"

"What's going on? These fierce beasts are all dead? But why are we unharmed?"

"There's something wrong with that radiance! It must have intentionally left us alive!"

"This bronze hall is strange!"

At this moment.

The prodigies from both universes had already descended into chaos, their eyes fixed intently on the direction of the bronze hall, their vigilance instantly skyrocketing to the extreme.

That radiance just now was too terrifying, instantly annihilating all the fierce beasts on the field, yet they remained completely unharmed.

This meant they were intentionally left alive.

As for why, they couldn't know, but their intuition told them this was likely not a good sign.

"Senior Ming Yan, what is this situation?"

In the shadows, Li Fan was also very puzzled at this moment and asked Ming Yan.

Regarding this, Ming Yan was equally puzzled and couldn't provide an answer.

But soon.

As a terrifying Dao Voice resounded.

The doubts of everyone present were all answered.

"Pass the Celestial Stair Trial, and you shall receive the legacy of this hall!!"

This Dao Voice was immensely grand, echoing for nearly a thousand miles around.

And as the Dao Voice faded.

Above the bronze hall, a colossal humanoid phantom image materialized.

The features of this phantom image were indistinct, only its form and outline visible.

Yet, even without clear features, its majestic and domineering presence was evident from its shape alone!

And judging from the aura of this phantom image.

This was unmistakably a remnant soul!!

The next second.

This remnant soul waved its large hand.

Above the Violet-Copper Hall, a steep, seemingly endless celestial stair gradually materialized!

Such a sudden turn of events.

Undoubtedly left all the prodigies on the field rooted to the spot in astonishment.

And when they recovered from their shock.

Expressions of excitement rose one after another on their faces.
