Chapter 784.1 [Endless Heaven Staircase, World Tree]

Fifth level of Heaven Staircase, Blood Red Altar.

When Yue Yang returned to the Heaven Staircase, the place looked just the same as it had after that great battle that day, full of devastation and dilapidated everywhere.

On the way, they met the students from Hell class, who had been sent by Grandma Wu Teng to come here to collect meteorite fragments, and when they saw Yue Yang, one by one, they all appeared to be very excited and started shouting loudly. For these ‘old classmates’, Yue Yang not only encouraged them, but also gave each of them a ‘Martial Elixir’, and even gave each of them one of the dozens of high-grade war beast eggs that he had obtained in the Heaven Realm.

Most of the people in the Hell Class who were the same age as Yue Yang had already graduated, and many of them already had formidable strength.

Although none of them had become Innates, many were beginning to reach the threshold, and even a very small number of the geniuses had already reached the quasi-Innate stage.

What’s left of the Hell Class now, for the most part, were all children.

“Wow wow, Brother Yue Yang is the best!” Princess Bei Bei, who often played with Yue Shuang, cheered with joy.

”Is it really a war beast from the Heaven Realm?” Gold grade? That’s great, I will definitely train it well!” There was also Princess Qi Ming, who was not much older than Bei bei but also admired Yue Yang.

“Well, well, Brother Yue Yang has something important to do, so we shouldn’t disturb him.” It turned out that the tall girl from the original Hell Class had stayed back at the academy to be the assistant of Grandma Wu Teng and was now leading this group of brats on their cultivation. With her leading the group, the little brats in the Hell Class were all improving rapidly, even faster than when the eagle-eyed Xia Hou Wei Lie was the tutor in the past. The current eagle-eyed Xia Hou Wei Lie, was instead training the Hell Class graduates and certain elites that had been painstakingly selected to form an army of youths that were conducting extremely hellish training at the Tong Tian Tower, with the goal of catching up with the Fatty Hai and Ye Kong who were one step ahead of them.

Of course catching up was impossible, but at least a large number of elites would be cultivated in the Soaring Dragon Continent.

In the Hell Class, the Yue Family’s Ninth Young Master, Yue Feng, was also present.

Since the time he had been taught a lesson by Yue Yang, his original brashness and arrogance was all gone, and he had also become a great fan of his brother.

When Yue Yang saw him paying his respects, he reached out his hand and caressed his head, as a gesture of praise towards this little brother of his. Yet this simple action of his caused Yue Feng’s face to glow red with excitement.

“Everyone should work hard, and you will definitely be stronger than big brother in the future, and when I am free, I will go and give you all some lessons.” Yue Yang gave these little brats some encouragement before finally waving goodbye to them. Only when they reached the Blood-Red Altar did Yue Yang rub the corner of his forehead, “So tired, greeting these little brats is even more tiring than a big battle!”

“Who made you pretend to be a good brother!” Princess Qian Qian appeared nonchalant on the surface, but in her heart, she actually really liked this side of Yue Yang.

“No, he wasn’t pretending.” Yue Bing hurriedly came to her brother’s defence.

“She was just kidding!” Yi Nan couldn’t help but start giggling.

When everyone saw Zhi Zun and the Night Empress at the Blood-Red Altar, they rushed up to pay their respects.

Red’s mother, who dwelled in the passage at the base of the statue, also came out and paid her respects to all the people present.

Upon entering the Heaven Staircase Gate, Yue Yang, Xia Wu Xue, Princess Qian Qian and the others in turn, paid their respects to Yue Qiu, whose physical body had been completely destroyed but whose soul still guarded the Heaven Staircase Gate. Regardless as a senior or as a guardian, Yue Qiu was deserving of their respect.

With the approval of Yue Qiu’s soul, Yue Yang entered the Heaven Staircase Gate.

The world inside, was the actual Heaven Staircase.

Before this, Yue Yang had thought about it a lot.

However, it wasn’t until after entering the Heaven Staircase World and seeing the scene in front of him that he realized that everything he had thought before was all wrong. The real Heaven Staircase World turned out to be a tree!

This, Yue Yang could never have imagined this even in his wildest dreams!

Even though Yue Yang had seen countless giant war beasts, and he himself possessed an Ancient Island Whale of massive size. However, not to mention any war beast in this world, even the buildings, islands, or even those huge mountain ranges that Yue Yang had seen in his previous life, none of them were comparable in size to the massiveness of the tree in front of him. To be precise, this tree is the entire Heaven Staircase World.

Even with Yue Yang’s eyes, he could not see the top of the tree.

Nor could he see the edges either.

Countless mountains, hills and lakes, were on this world tree. Huge waterfalls could be seen everywhere, pouring down from the skies above the tall mountains.

Yue Yang would never have thought that this was a tree if he hadn’t been able to see some unimaginably large roots, and uncountable branches and leaves that proved that it was a World Tree suspended in the middle of the sky.

Even from a distance, they were unable to see it all.

As they flew closer, they were even more amazed by its monstrosity… Underneath the Heaven Staircase World Tree, there was an extremely large swathe of empty space, and beyond this unimaginable space, only Yue Yang using his Divine Vision was able to see the truth, it was a piece of nothingness, a black hole that devoured all things. Above the World Tree, in the towering mountains, there are countless grand stairways that seem to have been carved out by hand. These stairways were indescribably large, each step was ten thousand meters long, and each step was ten metres high, making it suitable even for a Titan to walk on.

If these stone steps were created by intelligent beings, it must have been the work of gods.

There was no one else, except the gods, who could have pioneered such a vast and immense project here!
