332 Lotus Platform 12 Layers
The entire Central Divine Mountain fell silent.
Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment. There was no sound of speech or breathing. Countless demon beasts widened their eyes and looked at the empty mountain ridge.
“Where’s… the Heavenly Stairway?”
After an unknown period of time, a dejected scream finally sounded.
—Where was the Heavenly Stairway?
Where did such a huge Heavenly Stairway go?!
This was even more ridiculous than the previous situation. Although Feng Xia’s attack earlier was also untraceable, at the very least, they could more or less use their experience to deduce a few possible methods.
As for the current situation…
The Holy Son wanted to ascend the Heavenly Stairway and used some special method to forcefully plunder the opportunities on the Heavenly Stairway. In the end… the Heavenly Stairway simply evaporated into thin air!
It was too bloody ridiculous.
“That voice just now said… the time is up and the Heavenly Stairway is closed?”
Xuan Qinghe frowned. Wang Jue, Chi Yanli and the other demons also frowned deeply.
They had indeed heard that voice. When the Heavenly Stairway just appeared, that voice had also sounded and spread throughout the entire first level of the Demon Imperial Tombs.
However, if they remembered correctly…
There should still be more than half a day before the closure of the Heavenly Stairway!
During this period of time, no matter how many times Feng Xia tried to stop him, the Holy Son could still ascend the stairs calmly. This was because the Heavenly Stairway did not belong to Feng Xia, but was a part of the Demon Imperial Tombs. As long as the time was not up, it would always stand there, unchanging and unmoving.
In the end, the Heavenly Stairway actually disappeared half a day in advance, leaving only the Holy Son in his true form standing on the mountain ridge, emanating a soul-stirring aura as if he wanted to kill the air over and over again.
It was strong, invincible and very scary, but it was useless.
“Don’t tell me… he did this too?”
A few suspicious gazes landed on Feng Xia’s back one after another.
However, the demons immediately denied this guess.
Over the years, many powerful predecessors and sages had entered the Demon Imperial Tombs. It was not as if no one had coveted the Heavenly Stairway, but the final conclusion was…
Divine items were naturally formed and could not be taken by force!
From another perspective, if the Heavenly Stairway could be refined, the Holy Son would have already made his move. How could Feng Xia have a chance?
They first rejected the most unlikely scenario.
“Then what did he do? Or did he get some premonition that the Heavenly Stairway would close early?”
At this moment, the Holy Son was also analyzing quickly in his heart.
This was not something impossible.
After all, there were many variables in the opening of the Demon Imperial Tombs this time round. Not only did the space frame become stronger, but the Heavenly Stairway also became more sacred. Vaguely, there seemed to be more mysteries appearing one by one!
Putting everything else aside, just the Holy Son Ying Daoyi himself… was one of the many variables!
Therefore, it was not impossible for the Heavenly Stairway to close early.
The only problem was…
“Why did it close when I attacked?”
The nine heads of the Holy Son narrowed their eyes at the same time, revealing a ferocious glint as they locked onto Feng Xia on the mountain peak. “How did he know that the Heavenly Stairway would close at this time?”
“Your Highness, where are your opportunities?”
Feng Xia smiled and said.
At the same time, he had already instructed his companions to retreat using the “spiderweb network”. He slowly raised his magical power and a primordial Primal Core flew out. It was golden and emitted an eternal divine light.
The demon beasts at the side of the mountain were stunned. What was Feng Xia trying to do?
Judging from his posture, he was clearly in a battle stance!
“Can it be that he wants to…”
An inconceivable thought and an incomparable sense of horror suddenly surfaced in the hearts of the demons. “Is he crazy? The Holy Son is definitely stronger than before this time round. In addition, the Heavenly Stairway closed in advance. Without the suppression of the divine light, he has lost all his reliance. How can he fight against the Holy Son?”
Even in Xuan Qinghe’s eyes, Feng Xia’s ability to fight, and even win, against the Holy Son was definitely due to the Heavenly Stairway.
Without the suppression of the divine light of the Heavenly Stairway, the Holy Son would have been able to use his full strength from the beginning. Even if Feng Xia won, it would not be as easy.
Now that the Heavenly Stairway had closed in advance, Feng Xia’s reliance was lost. Correspondingly, the Holy Son had returned stronger and revealed his terrifying true form. Just that black light alone seemed to be able to kill all living beings!
Hearing Feng Xia’s words, the Holy Son’s expression darkened.
“There’s no need for you to care about my opportunities. Xia Donghai, it seems that I’ll still be the one who has the last laugh.” A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face. “You might still be very proud, but you’ve probably completely ignored the fact that… without the obstruction of the Heavenly Stairway, if I want to kill you…”
“It’s going to be a piece of cake!”
The Holy Son suddenly flew up!
“Your Highness, I’ve already said it before.”
At the moment when the Holy Son suddenly attacked, Feng Xia made his move even earlier. His figure was like lightning as he stepped on the green lotus, and he jumped down just like that. He stretched out his arms like a roc spreading its wings. Interweaving with dazzling symbols, he tore through space and crossed the 3,000 Realms!
Everyone could hear Feng Xia’s laughter reverberating between heaven and earth.
“If I can kill you once or twice, naturally I can also kill you three or four times. I’ll kill you until you’re terrified, until you’re scared, until your Dao heart collapses. From then on, you won’t dare to call yourself a Holy… Nine Lotus Heavenly Heart Prison!”
“Useless, useless, useless!”
The nine heads of the Holy Son laughed wildly at the same time. “Do you think I don’t know how to create a divine power formed by Great Dao achievements?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the different parts of his body suddenly came to life, as if they had really become divine beasts. It was as if powerful demon beasts had revived and displayed various bloodline innate divine powers at the same time!
“That’s our White Tiger Clan’s Gale Wave!” Wang Jue exclaimed.
“And my clan’s Divine Sun Fire!”
“Does he also know the innate divine power of our Black Tortoise Clan?!”
Each of these powerful demon beasts possessed a top-notch bloodline. In the current era, they could be said to be the source of the Demon Clan’s bloodlines. The stronger the demon beast, the more the origin of its bloodline could be traced back to these major clans!
At this moment, their divine powers were actually appearing in the hands of the same person.
How was this possible?
“Lotus Platform… 12 layers.”
In the next moment, layers of lotus petals rose one after another. Every 50 petals formed a layer, and there were as many as 12 layers. They surrounded the Holy Son through and through.
Blazing flames rose in the prison.
Feng Xia slowly descended from the sky and walked over the flames. His tone was calm, but the murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger.
“Your Highness, this is the complete form of the Nine Lotus Heavenly Heart Prison.”
