...
Midway through the ascent, the sky turned gloomy, and the Heavenly Ladder suddenly shook, making it difficult for anyone to stand firm.
Boom!
Lightning intertwined, fierce winds howled, and merciless icy blades and swords poured down.
The closer to the Immortal Palace, the greater the resistance, making each step extremely arduous.
Swoosh—
A Wind Blade sliced past, cutting open a Taoist's throat.
Without protection from Daoist Skill, his frail body was unable to withstand the damage of the Wind Blade. He clutched his neck as blood gushed out, and soon his eyes completely lost their luster.
Some chose to give up at the sight, turning around to jump down, being transported out of the Secret Realm.
Even if eliminated, it was better than losing one's life!
As they got closer to the Immortal Palace, ominous clouds loomed over the horizon, vortices gathered, with hints of serpents dancing wildly in the lightning.
Crash!
