On the ladder, nearly a hundred people had disappeared, and at this time they were only halfway up the ladder.

Climbing the peak, the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes, this is common knowledge that many people understand, so many people put away their contempt and become extremely cautious.

The method that Mu Qianmei said has slowly spread and won the approval of many people, so they all adjusted their breath and climbed slowly without hurrying.

However, it was only now too late that the number of people who disappeared was increasing, and soon a hundred passed, and then two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, eight hundred......

By the time the climbing army reached two-thirds of the heights, the number of people who had disappeared had already passed a thousand.

It can be seen from this that many of the people who entered the path to heaven in the past disappeared on the ladder of heaven, because at that time, most of them were people at the fifth or sixth level of the qi refining period, and when they became ordinary people, they could not successfully reach the top of the mountain at all.

By the time the procession had climbed to ten hours, the number of people had passed two thousand, and by the eleventh hour, three thousand had passed, and the team had a total of more than six thousand, and the number of people who had disappeared by this time had almost reached half, and the rest were not far from the top of the mountain, but this last stretch of the road was so far away for many people.

This last stage of the staircase, like the last straw that crushed the camel, some people dragged their bodies forward with difficulty, and even began to use their hands and feet together, like monkeys walking in a row, but the footsteps were still so heavy, until the last trace of strength was used up, I had to helplessly lie on the stairs, give up all my efforts, and then calmly disappeared.

By the twelfth hour, the number of people who had disappeared had reached 4,000, far more than half of the total.

At this time, people realized that Mu Qianmei's prediction was an overestimation of the success rate, because there are still more than 4,000 steps from the top of the mountain, and on this last step of the ladder, there will definitely be people who will disappear.

However, the physical fitness of the people who can persist in climbing here can be regarded as having withstood the test, and the speed of people's disappearance has been slowing down, and in the last half hour, nearly 500 people have disappeared.

The time finally ended, and when all the people on the ladder reached the top, there were only about 2,000 people left, some unfortunate people fell on the last step, and some lucky people finally reached the top of the mountain at the last moment.

This is still the first level, more than 6,000 people have eliminated about 4,500 people, this is still the strongest overall strength over the years, in this way, in previous years, people who can successfully reach the top of the mountain, in fact, there are very few, when they go through the test of the second or third level, it is really very likely that one out of ten thousand people will come up, maybe none of them are successful.

When the 2,000 people came to the top of the mountain, about half of them were sitting on the ground, and some of them were so physically exhausted that they didn't want to move when they lay on the ground.

Mu Qianmei glanced at it casually and found that there were more people left in the five major alliances and the newly established Liuyun Alliance, and some people in the small alliances had even been wiped out, and there was no one who reached the top.

The six people of the Huaxia tribe all climbed to the top of the mountain smoothly, and the jade seemed to be the most consumed, but because she had climbed according to the way Mu Qianmei said earlier, she was quite able to bear it.

Feng Buzhi and others from the Hanjiang Alliance also successfully came to Tiantai, but when they arrived here, there were less than a hundred people left in the entire Hanjiang Alliance, and the most left was the Liuyun Alliance, and there were more than seven hundred.

After a while, a thick white mist filled the ladder, so that the entire ladder was shrouded in smoke, and the existence of the ladder was completely invisible, and the square on the top of the mountain seemed to become a small piece of world above the clouds.

This world was also shrouded in smoke, but as the ladder was shrouded in smoke, the smoke from Tiantai Mountain gradually dissipated, and after a while, I could see the scene in the distance from Tiantai.

I saw a huge archway vaguely appeared in the distance, about 12 meters high, about 36 meters wide, on the door in the middle of the archway, a row of big characters were written:

"The second level of the road to heaven - the winner is king".

And on both sides of the gate of the archway, there are thirty-six small round rings,

The crowd walked over with doubts, and saw a stone tablet under the gate, which read:

"The two fight, the winner clears the level, the loser disappears, if there is only one person left, please enter the gate, and break through the stone man array to be considered a success. The time for the second level to pass is twelve hours, and those who fail to pass the time limit will be regarded as failure and will disappear automatically. ”

At this moment, people looked at each other, and finally finished climbing the ladder, but at this moment, they had to eliminate half of the people through cannibalism, and those who were physically exhausted couldn't help but despair.

Because until this time, they found that they had not yet recovered their spiritual power, and in the absence of spiritual power, their physical strength had been overdrawn, how could they fight.

People suddenly turned on the pot and complained-

"What's going on? Let's kill each other, is there still heavenly reason? ”

"Yes, I knew that I wouldn't have abstained when I was outside, and I came here with a layer of competition, and it turned out to be such a setup!"

"The point is that we don't even have a way out, isn't this playing like monkeys?"

"This is too inhumane, you set up other obstacles, and if you can't break through, forget it, then even if we have no ability, we have no regrets, and now we are still letting us kill each other."

"I think, it's better to go to the stone man formation, and it's better to die in the stone man formation than to kill each other."

"Yes, let's all go to the Stone Formation."

……

The people said indignantly, and then looked inside the gate in unison.

I saw that inside the gate, there were two rows of huge stone figures, probably one zhang and two feet tall, each stone man was holding a different weapon in his hand, someone counted it carefully, and then said loudly:

"There are thirty-six stone men on each side, a total of seventy-two in two rows, they stretch out their arms, plus the length of their weapons, just enough to stop the aisle, I just don't know how effective they are."

Everyone stood at the gate, looking eager to try, but no one wanted to be the first to break through.

Everyone wants to see how difficult it will be for others to break through the level before deciding whether or not to break into this stone formation.

They had twelve hours, and a quarter of an hour had passed, and none of them dared to be the first to eat crabs.

Half an hour passed, and no one dared to enter the stone gate, and no one stepped into the small ring to fight.

An hour passed, and there was still no movement.

The 2,000 people froze here, and no one wanted to compete, and no one wanted to be the first to break into the stone formation.

People who have a lot of physical exertion, after an hour of recovery, their physical strength has almost reached the normal level, but unfortunately there is no spiritual power, and everyone is still an ordinary person.

Mu Qianmei led the people of the Huaxia tribe and did not know the party, so she simply sat down far away and began to meditate and cultivate.

Although there is no spiritual power, a simple breath can also regulate the breath and operate the meridians, which is also very beneficial for restoring physical strength.

With the people of the Huaxia tribe taking the lead, many people also sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

After another hour, the atmosphere of the scene began to become a little weird, no one wanted to be the first to come out, but time did not stop, if it continued like this, when the twelve hours came, wouldn't it be the whole army to be wiped out?

Someone began to lose his breath, so he broke the silence and said:

"Instead of consuming it like this, it's better to try it out happily, success is naturally good, and if you want to die, you will die happily."

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and saw that it was a burly man with a double axe, strong and strong, and at first glance he was a strong and strong person, and many people should coax:

"Yes, since we have to break in sooner or later, instead of sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to go in and try it now, I don't believe that lifeless people can stop us."

"Big man, you take the lead, we follow, whoever likes to wait waits, let's go in and break into it."

"Well said, I also support you, the big man is a master with an axe at a glance, you lead the way in front with a double axe, cut down those stone people, and we will press you behind you."

"Big man, kill it!"

As soon as the people heard that someone was going to break into the stone formation, they immediately shouted in unison:

"Big man, kill it!"

The encouraged big man finally mustered up the courage, and immediately strode into the stone gate with a double axe in hand.

As soon as the other person stepped in, he said in surprise:

"Hahaha...... It turns out that when I enter the gate, I can recover my spiritual power, but I am also a tenth-level cultivator in the Qi refining period, so I don't believe that these lifeless stone men can stop me! ”

There was a smug tone in the words.

He raised his double axe without hesitation, then took off into the air, and quickly ran towards the aisle in the middle of the stone man array, planning to run as far as he could in one go, and it would be easier to deal with it when he encountered interception.

However, as soon as he came to the first pair of stone figures, the stone men on both sides raised their weapons at the same time, the sword on the left and the sword on the right, and struck the big man like lightning.

The big man's luck's strongest spiritual power also raised the axe in his hand with both hands and quickly blocked it, and he quickly rushed forward with the power of the block, intending to pass through the second pair of stone figures when they didn't react.

However, the second pair of stone men would let him in, and they also attacked together, with guns on the left and sticks on the right, and attacked the big man at the same time.

The big man raised his axe again and met the attacking weapon.

The front was blocked, but unfortunately, the two stone men behind him had already attacked behind him together, and because the speed was too fast, he didn't have time to turn around to defend, and his back was attacked. A sword stabbed him in the back, and blood flowed profusely.

With a "poof-" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he leaped into the air, ready to pull out.

However, at this moment, all four weapons attacked him together, forcing him into an encirclement.
