It took less than half an hour for all the Star Lords to be forced back to the start of the stairs.
"Which step did you reach?"
"The 18th."
"The ninth."
"I reached the 32rd!"
"The stairs are rather weird. It's not entirely true that your Heavenly Tribulation will be powerful if you're weak. Some people are quite strong, but they encountered a path-level Heavenly Tribulation too."
Everybody frowned and thought hard.
All the Star Lords had revealed their strength on the stairs, so they knew each other quite well.
"The guys who retreated within the first ten steps are all weak. The leader of the Heavenly Fist Alliance is strong. His power of faith is perfectly integrated with his small world. He's definitely a strong Star Lord, yet he was also blocked within the first ten steps. That didn't make sense…"
The leader girl slightly frowned in confusion.
The ancient stairs were indeed perplexing.
