Chapter 3188 Sword Sea

"Crack!"

The sound of a sword light piercing the sky sounded, Ye Feng's piece fell hard, and the powerful sword energy directly collided with the opponent's big hand.

Only the sound of rumbling and terrifying shocks resounded, and the extremely terrifying destructive power spread in all directions.

This time, it seemed that Ye Feng's body was shaken and retreated, but in fact, the sword light was unimaginably sharp.

It directly caused a bloodstain to be drawn on the opponent's palm, with fresh blood oozing out, looking extremely embarrassed!

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of everyone present, causing a look of disbelief on their faces.

This is the king of the Raging Flame Kingdom, a powerful god-level powerhouse. The big hand released by the opponent is so powerful that not only can't really grab Ye Feng's body.

They were also slashed by Ye Feng's sword light directly, which was completely beyond their imagination!

"Thief, how dare you hurt me!"

The king of Lieyan Kingdom gritted his teeth and said, feeling the pain in his palm, wishing he could step forward and kill Ye Feng now!

Ye Feng's arm was also numb for a while. It has to be said that the opponent's big void hand is really powerful.

If he hadn't dodged in time, he might have been destroyed by the opponent's big hand!

"Old man, how about a taste of the power of my palm print?"

The voice of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor also came over, and at this moment, the large palm print of the demonic way of destruction was condensed and born.

The power contained in the palm print is simply beyond people's imagination, it can be said to descend instantly.

That terrifying devil enveloped one sky, if it were someone else, it would be impossible to bear it!

"roll!"

The king of Lie Yan Kingdom said so, and he slapped his palm with his backhand. His palm print is extremely powerful.

It contains extremely terrifying fire attribute power inside, and it is going to swallow the body of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor!

In a short period of time, everyone present heard the rumbling sound of terrifying shocks resounding, and an even more terrifying destructive force crazily spread towards all directions.

This time the collision caused the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor's body to be shaken back one after another, as if his body was wrapped in the power of the flame attribute, trying to be burned and melted!

This hurt the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor a lot, and the opponent's strength was indeed strong, which made it difficult for Ye Feng and the two of them to bear.

Seeing this scene, many people present looked at the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor with a bit of sarcasm, thinking that the other party dared to contend with the powerful king of the Raging Flame God Kingdom, which was tantamount to courting death.

Ye Feng's expression was not very good-looking, he didn't expect the king of Lie Yan Kingdom to be so angry.

If things go on like this, if the two of them have any negligence, it is very likely that they will die in each other's hands.

Naturally, this was not the result Ye Feng wanted to see. While dodging the opponent's attack, Ye Feng was thinking about the next countermeasure in his mind.

After some more time, Ye Feng's eyes lit up on this one, and he couldn't help but sound transmission to the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor: "Old guy, I have to deal with him alone. I went to the Kingdom of Flames before, but you can't help it!" Know what I mean?"

After saying this sentence, the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor's eyes flickered, and a bright light flashed in his eyes immediately, and he said: "Then you have to be careful, this person is too strong, and if he is negligent, he will also be careful." It is very likely that it will fall into the hands of the opponent."

When he said these words, the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor was still worried about Ye Feng.

With the two of them working together, there are still some opponents who are not the king of the Raging Flame Kingdom.

If he left like this, Ye Feng would have to face a more brutal ending.

"Don't worry, if he wants to kill me, it won't be that easy."

Ye Feng spoke to the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor.

Rather than the two of them fighting each other together and gaining nothing, it is better to let the other party pay a painful price.

Seeing Ye Feng's resoluteness, the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor didn't stay any longer, and released a destructive magic handprint on the king of the Raging Flame God Kingdom.

His body quickly flew towards the distance, and then he arrived in front of Haimeng's body, using the magic attribute power to wrap Haimeng's body, and quickly moved towards the distance.

"Thief, you want to run away!"

The king of the Raging Flame Kingdom said to the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor, and after saying these words, an extremely angry aura burst out of him.

Trying to chase down the Heavenly Demon Emperor at the first time.

"Old thief, the person you want to kill is me. If you go after him, don't you just run away if you're not afraid of me?"

However, at the moment when the body of the king of Lieyan Kingdom was about to move, he heard Ye Feng's voice.

This made the eyes of the king of Lieyan Kingdom freeze slightly, his son was killed by Ye Feng, and the first person he wanted to kill was Ye Feng.

As for the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor, whether he is alive or dead really has little to do with him. Therefore, after hearing Ye Feng's words, the king of Raging Flame God Kingdom stopped chasing the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor.

He turned his head and wanted to attack Ye Feng, but his eyes just looked at Ye Feng's direction.

It was discovered that Ye Feng had already escaped into the distance, his body was completely covered by the will of the wind and the power of the space attribute.

With the addition of the two forces, the speed of the figure is extremely fast, and it has disappeared in place in a short time.

That kind of speed was like a gust of wind, and even many people present couldn't see his body movement trajectory clearly.

"Damn it, don't even think about escaping from the old man's palm!"

The king of Lieyan Kingdom said indifferently to Ye Feng, and his body also quickly rose into the air at this moment after saying this sentence.

The body is supported by the power of the flame attribute, and bursts of flame phantoms emerge around the body, quickly leaping towards the distance.

As a powerful existence who has achieved the position of god for endless years, the speed of the king of the Raging Flame Kingdom is naturally terrifying beyond imagination.

One step out, thousands of miles away, the body also disappeared like lightning, the speed of that body shape is beyond imagination.

The power of spiritual consciousness was released, completely covering this space, and soon locked Ye Feng's body.

The lord of the Raging Flame Kingdom pursued with all his strength, and while pursuing, he did not forget to unleash terrifying attacking power on Ye Feng's body.

His attack power is not comparable to that of ordinary people. In the blink of an eye, he crazily bombarded Ye Feng's body.

Ye Feng's figure kept flickering at an incomparably fast speed, and he had already reached one side in the blink of an eye.

He dodged the opponent's attack, but even if he comprehended the will of the wind and the powerful space attribute power.

Compared with the absolute speed of his figure, he still couldn't compare with the king of the Raging Flame Kingdom. After about a stick of incense, the king of the Raging Flame Kingdom had already appeared behind Ye Feng's body.

He couldn't help yelling at Ye Feng: "Thief, hurry up and catch me, otherwise, if the old man catches you, he will surely tear you to pieces!"

This sentence seems to carry a terrifying sonic attack, the power of this sonic attack is indeed too terrifying.

My Ye Feng's eardrums went numb for a while, and his whole body was almost seriously injured.

But he still didn't stop, his figure was extremely fast, and he released the physical martial arts he had comprehended to the extreme, and quickly flew towards the distance.

He knew that Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor's body speed was really not slow, as long as the other party reached the Kingdom of Flame God. It is bound to be a great gift to the Kingdom of Lieyan God.

At that time, no matter how powerful the Lord of the Raging Flame God Kingdom is. I'm afraid it's impossible to watch one's own power be ruined and destroyed like this.

Therefore, at this moment, Ye Feng only needs to avoid the opponent's attack and not be hurt by the opponent.

He tried his best to delay the time, his figure was extremely fast, and he kept dodging and moving in the void.

Although the attacking power of the king of Lie Yan Kingdom is powerful, if he wants to attack Ye Feng in a short time. Not nearly as easy.

Ye Feng's body moved forward at an unbelievable speed, and within a short period of time, he had arrived at an area of ​​the Western Chu Kingdom.

As an independent country, Western Chu Kingdom naturally has many mysterious places, and the Cave of the Gods is the most famous one among them.

Apart from the Cave of the Gods, the most famous mysterious place in the Western Chu Kingdom is the Sea of ​​Swords.

The so-called Sword Sea is named after the sword. Legend has it that this is the burial place of the most powerful builders of various periods in the Holy God Tianzhou.

After these powerful sword cultivators sat down, they would order people to bury their bodies here.

The weapons that were buried together were naturally the weapons of these powerful sword cultivators. The weapons they used were usually top-notch divine swords that cut iron like mud.

Over time, more and more powerful sword cultivators were buried here, making this place a collective burial for these powerful sword cultivators.

From this, Jianhai got its name. Jianhai is not only the tomb of these powerful sword cultivators, but also contains a powerful will of the sword inside.

If you can truly comprehend it, you will definitely be able to raise your comprehension of the sword attribute power to a higher level.

Therefore, Jianhai has also become a holy place where top sword cultivators gather. Every day, many top sword cultivators gather here to feel the sword intent.

However, no one dared to really enter the sea of ​​swords. In the sea of ​​swords, powerful sword energy was released.

Ordinary people who enter it are likely to be torn apart and destroyed by the terrifying sword energy.

In the endless years, there are also many people who want to try it and enter the sword sea to understand.

But not long after their bodies entered the sea of ​​swords, they were completely strangled and shattered by the powerful sword energy contained in the sea of ​​swords.

To this day, no one has successfully walked out of the sea of ​​swords alive.

Ye Feng's body was flying in the void, and the king of the Lieyan Kingdom was chasing after him, and the speed of the opponent's body was unimaginably fast.

While chasing, he unleashed a terrifying attack on Ye Feng. His attack was terrifyingly powerful.

Every attack can bring an extremely strong threat to Ye Feng. If he didn't react fast enough, he might be completely killed and destroyed by the opponent's attack!

At the same time, bursts of powerful sword energy released from nothingness continued to sweep towards this side.

This made Ye Feng raise his eyebrows slightly, as if he never thought that such a strong sword energy would appear in this space.

More importantly, these sword qi are extremely pure and rich, as if they are integrated with this space.

An ordinary person's body must be extremely uncomfortable under this terrifying sword energy.

He couldn't even really hold on, but Ye Feng was different, he himself comprehended the powerful sword energy, and the strength of the sword attribute had already reached the level of the late stage of ecstasy.

A standard powerful sword cultivator. Therefore, in this space, Ye Feng first felt that his comprehension of sword energy seemed to have improved.

After absorbing the bursts of sword energy, the sword energy he comprehended gradually became stronger.

"What exactly does that area have? How could there be such a powerful sword energy? Could it be that there is some kind of opportunity?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but secretly said, for the bursts of sword energy released in this space, Ye Feng immediately became a little interested.

Therefore, he also quickly increased his flying speed at this moment, mobilizing the space attribute power and the will of the wind to the extreme.

Walking in the direction of the stream of sword energy, the King of Lieyan Kingdom naturally felt the wave of sword energy.

But he didn't care about anything, his purpose was to kill Ye Feng, and he didn't care about those sword qi.

What's more, at his level of cultivation, the sword energy floating randomly in the space can't hurt him at all.

This made him still pursue Ye Feng relentlessly, not long after, Ye Feng's body came to a certain position.

Here, occupied by endless sword energy, there are strands of sword power floating in the air.

And this is just the edge of the land, in the lower part of this area, the white sword energy actually formed an extremely huge vortex.

The vortex has a diameter of thousands of kilometers, and it keeps rolling on the ground. There are lightning flashes and thunders inside, and bursts of sword light are even brighter and boundless.

It seems that everything in this space can be swallowed up in a short time.

At the edge of this vortex, many powerful people gathered here, their bodies just suspended in the void.

There was a faint light of the sword emerging from the body, and many people closed their eyes tightly, knowing at a glance that they were feeling the sword energy in that area.

Most of these people are top sword cultivators. There are even some god levels in it.

As the lowest one, he also reached the level of casting the body of a god.

It's just because the sword energy in this area is too strong, and its power is also very terrifying. If a person with a weak cultivation level enters this area, it will inevitably be extremely dangerous, and it is even very likely that he will be killed by the terrifying sword. Qi was completely involved in it, and it was split and shattered.

This is the legendary Sword Sea, the area in the Western Chu Kingdom that has attracted the most attention besides the Cave of the Gods, and is also the most dangerous area.

Every year, an unknown number of people come here to explore the secrets, and lose their lives.

When Ye Feng came here, the King of Lieyan Kingdom naturally felt the difference here, even though he had never been here before.

But after seeing such scenes, he also had some guesses in his heart. Unexpectedly, this kid actually brought him to Jianhai.

"You'd better hurry up and grab it, this area is not something you can stay for a long time at all."

The king of Lieyan Kingdom said to Ye Feng indifferently, the meaning of his words was very obvious, if Ye Feng continued to stay here, even if he didn't kill the other party, the other party would be destroyed by the terrifying sword energy.

"Catch me if you have the ability, and stop talking nonsense if you can't find me!"

Ye Feng said to the king of Lieyan Kingdom, with a bit of disdain in his words.

"Boy, I've already arrived in the Kingdom of Flame God, just watch it."

At this moment, the voice of Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor came from Ye Feng's mind.

Ye Feng's eyes flashed, and there was a bit of brilliance in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sound transmission to the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor: "Old guy, it's up to you next."

"Don't worry, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

The Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor spoke to Ye Feng.

At this moment, his body is floating above the palace of Lie Yan Kingdom.

As the top power of the Lieyan Kingdom, the palace is naturally extremely vast, and there are many palaces, which look extremely magnificent.

There are bursts of flame attribute power floating in the void, and the might of the flame attribute envelopes a sky.

The body of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor was just suspended in the air, which naturally immediately attracted the attention of many people present.

Especially some of the powerhouses outside the Lieyan Kingdom's Palace did not open their mouths like this: "Who is that person? Why is he so ignorant of the rules? How dare he float in the sky above the Lieyan Kingdom's Palace? Is he looking for death? .”

After saying this sentence, many people present nodded their heads, thinking that what this person said made sense.

In the Raging Flame Kingdom, the Royal Palace of the Raging Flame Kingdom is the real place of authority, where many top figures practice.

The king of the Raging Flame Kingdom is even more powerful at the level of a god. In the entire Raging Flame Kingdom, the king of the Raging Flame Kingdom is like an absolute king who rules the world.

He represents authority and supremacy.

Who dares to go to the place where he lives in the palace so arrogantly, there were people who were ignorant before, and their bodies levitated to the place above the palace of the Kingdom of Flames.

The powerful and strong man in the palace of Lie Yan Kingdom killed the opponent in an extremely terrifying way.

At this moment, the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor, like those people, seems to be too arrogant, and will soon pay the price with his life.

"Who are you? How dare you come to my Lie Yan Kingdom Palace to act wildly? Are you courting death?"

A strong man from the Raging Flame Kingdom immediately asked below.

The breath on his body is extremely strong, and the extremely terrifying fire attribute power is flashing in the void.

There was a sneer on the corner of Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor's mouth, he didn't talk nonsense with that person, he moved directly to the terrifying big palm print and crazily blasted towards the palace of Lie Yan Kingdom.

This palm print of his contains extremely terrifying magic attribute power, and the spirit of the gods is even more powerful.

In a short period of time, it descended crazily downward at an extremely fast speed, and the power it carried was simply beyond imagination.

A look of disbelief appeared on the face of the powerful man from the Raging Flame Kingdom, as if he hadn't thought that this person would dare to attack him!

He naturally released his attack immediately to compete with the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor, but his attack was not worth mentioning in front of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor's attack.

In a short period of time, everyone present heard the rumbling sound of terrifying shocks resounding, and the extremely terrifying destructive power spread in all directions.

Under this collision, the destructive force was earth-shattering.

That strong man from Raging Flame Kingdom originally thought that one of his attacks would be enough to intercept the palm print of Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor.

But he never thought that the palm print released by the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor was not something he could resist at all.

In a short time, he reached his body, and his attack was also destroyed by the collapse at this moment.

This made the powerful man of the Raging Flame Kingdom feel an irresistible force for the first time, and made him look desperate.

He could only watch helplessly as the palm print of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor descended.

"don't want!"

The voice of despair came from the mouth of the strong man of the Raging Flame Kingdom, it was already too late.

It was the terrifying palm print of the Heavenly Demon Emperor that just slapped on his body.

It made his whole body tremble crazily, only to hear the rumbling sound of terrifying shocks resounding.

The palm print of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor was simply unrivaled, it landed directly on the opponent's body.

It caused the opponent's body to explode, completely turning into scraps of meat. It continues to spread in all directions.

The palm print of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor was not only that, it even collapsed and destroyed a palace not far away.

All the people in the palace died violently and were executed accordingly.

"I didn't expect this guy to have such strength!"

Someone looked at the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor, with a somewhat shocked expression on his face, and said like this.

The same is true for the rest of the people. They thought that if they imitated and dared to come to the Palace of the Kingdom of Lie Flames in this way, they were simply courting death.

But never thought that the other party has such terrifying strength.

Under this palm print, a palace in the palace of the Lieyan Kingdom was destroyed by the collapse.

Naturally, many people have been attracted to come here. These people are extremely terrifying existences in the Raging Flame Kingdom. They tried to attack the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor as soon as they arrived.

It's just that the reaction speed of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor is still not comparable to them.

Before the other party's attack came, the Heavenly Demon Emperor frantically released a palm print of destruction towards the area.

This palm print of destruction is simply earth-shatteringly strong, capable of engulfing all existence in a short period of time.

This made the expressions of disbelief appear on the faces of those strong men from the Raging Flame Kingdom. No one thought that an attack from the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor would have such power.

Even people like them are not worth mentioning in front of the opponent's attack.

Under the effect of this attack, two very powerful existences from the Raging Flame Kingdom died at the hands of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor.

Many people thought that the Raging Flame Kingdom was the absolute overlord in this area, and it was absolutely unimaginable that someone would dare to make such a disturbance and kill the people of the Raging Flame Kingdom.

"Who are you? Why do you dare to come to my Raging Flame Kingdom to make trouble? Aren't you afraid that the king of our Raging Flame Kingdom will come forward and kill you?"

A strong man from Raging Flame Kingdom couldn't help asking the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor.

The Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor looked at the strong man of the Raging Flame Kingdom and said, "The king of your Raging Flame Kingdom is not in the Raging Flame Kingdom at all, how can you come back and attack me?"

After these words were spoken, the faces of the powerful people of the Raging Flame Kingdom changed. No one expected that the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor would know the whereabouts of the Lord of the Raging Flame Kingdom.

"The blame can only be blamed on you, the king of the Lieyan Kingdom, for doing something you shouldn't do, so don't blame me!"

The Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor continued to speak to these powerful people from the Raging Flame Kingdom.

After saying these words, the terrifying magic attribute power burst out from him again.

A wave of magic power kept emerging around him, making his whole body become more violent, as if it could destroy all existence!

In the blink of an eye, this palm print once again landed in the palace of the Raging Flame God Kingdom.

The astonishing sound of shock sounded again, and the power of destruction spread in all directions.

Many powerful people from the Raging Flame Kingdom died under the palm of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor.

The Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor is unstoppable here. In a very short period of time, he has already killed many powerful people from the Raging Flame Kingdom.

Immediately, the rest of the people in Lieyan Kingdom were in chaos, and many people rushed towards this side quickly.

This includes some of the top powerful experts in the land of the palace of the Kingdom of Flames.

Lie Yan Kingdom is in trouble, so naturally they won't just sit by and watch.

It's just that the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor didn't seem to give the other party a chance to react. At this moment, the terrifying big palm prints crazily blasted down, and the power contained in each palm print was beyond imagination.

There was an astonishing sound of impact again, and the power of destruction spread in all directions.

This time, several lovers of the Kingdom of God died under the terrifying palm print of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor.

After attaining the position of god, the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor is so unstoppable, the attacks he unleashes are hard to resist by people of the same realm, not to mention that many of these people have not been able to achieve the position of god.

In front of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor, these people were naturally vulnerable, and they were killed one by one!

"Buzz, buzz..."

One after another strange voices sounded, and everyone present saw the arm of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor waving for a while, and in his palm, an extremely terrifying magic fire flashed out.

These magic fires can burn everything, and they burn quickly in the void. The purple-black magic fire contains powerful magic attribute power.

The high temperature carried makes the surrounding area even more wrapped in heat waves!

"go!"

The Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor spit out a word, and waved his arm again. Above the sky, the extremely terrifying demon fire turned into a sea of ​​flames and fell down like that.

The demonic fire was extremely violent, crazily descending towards the palace of the Raging Flame Kingdom, and most of the powerhouses in the Raging Flame Kingdom cultivated the power of the flame attribute.

The power level of the fire attribute they comprehend is extremely high, and the power released is also super terrifying.

But even so, when they faced this terrifying magic, they still felt the powerful power of destruction contained in the magic fire.

The power of destruction was not something they could resist at all, and many powerful people from the Raging Flame Kingdom released their attacks to resist.

Their attacks are powerful in the eyes of normal people, but they are not worth mentioning in front of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor.

It was completely melted in the blink of an eye, and the magic fire also contained extremely powerful burning power, completely enveloping the bodies of these people in a short time.

Many powerful people from the Raging Flame God Kingdom let out screams, and their entire bodies were completely wrapped in flames, melting away quickly!

The entire space turned into a world of flames, and everything was smoothed out. In the palace of the Kingdom of Flames, extremely terrifying flames spread crazily.

"Who is this guy, and why is he so arrogant, he dared to sneak attack on the Palace of the Kingdom of Flames, this is really..."

More and more strong men heard the movement from this side and gathered towards this side. Seeing that the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor treated the Lieyan Kingdom Palace like this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"Thief, cultivate wildly, let me take your life!"

At this moment, the indifferent voice of a strong man swept over from not far away.

This person is wearing a powerful flame robe, his body is stepping forward in the void, and the aura of his whole body is extremely powerful.

He is the national teacher of the Raging Flame God Kingdom, an existence at the level of a god, and he is also the kind who has achieved the vegetation of the gods for many years.

However, compared to the king of the Raging Flame Kingdom, the strength of the National Advisor of the Raging Flame Kingdom is more than one grade lower. Some powerful people in the Raging Flame Kingdom have been sent to the frontier to participate in the war.

The person who can do it now is this national teacher. After he came, seeing the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor doing whatever he wanted, his heart immediately became extremely cold.

While speaking, the terrifying big palm print of destruction was condensed at this moment, and the power contained in the palm print of destruction was simply beyond imagination.

In a short period of time, he crazily released a terrifying palm print of flame destruction towards the body of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor from the void.

This palm print almost covered the sky and the sun, and the power contained in it was beyond the imagination of everyone present, and it fell in front of the body of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor at an extremely fast speed.

The Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor's eyes froze slightly, and he did not confront the opponent head-on. The phantom power burst out, making his body seem to be completely isolated from this space.

Randomly stepping forward, the body transformed into ghostly shadows. The speed was beyond imagination and terrifying, and in the blink of an eye, they had already appeared on the other side.

The palm print of Lie Yan Shen Guo Guoshi passed through the side of his body. However, it failed to harm the body of the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor.

The Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor didn't care about anything, the terrifying flame attribute power burst out again, and the flame contained extremely powerful magic attribute power.

In a short period of time, it came down from the sky again, and crazily burned down towards the sky below!

The faces of those strong men from the Raging Flame God Kingdom showed a bit of horror. No one thought that the Scarlet Sky Demon Emperor would be so domineering and powerful. After the arrival of their master, the other party would still be so relentless.

After these magic fires come, they can completely burn and melt this space, and everything will be destroyed.

There was a bit of despair on the faces of many people, and their bodies quickly dodged towards the distance at this moment, trying to escape from ascending to heaven in this way, but they failed to do so.
