Chapter 3621 The Dread of The Last Three Steps
"...!"
While everyone looked at them in awe, Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley were experiencing the danger of the sixth step.
The air seemed to thicken, causing goosebumps to appear on their skin. Their hearts pounded in their chests, a steady drumbeat of apprehension echoing through their bodies and creeping toward their souls.
Even breathing became a bit strained right now, but when they looked at Fairy Thunderblaze standing on the eighth step shivering, they knew she was waiting for them while experiencing a greater sense of fear than them.
With their gazes forward, they arched their legs and leaped again, landing on the seventh step, where the only person other than them was Atsuo.
He looked at them with visible shock, not expecting women to cross this step at all as he knew how frightful the seventh step was. Even now, his heart didn't stop beating erratically, making him perspire. He glanced at their joined hands and wondered if, by joining powers, they might greatly lessen the impact of fear.
The others began to wonder the same thing. Their advancement was too fast. It was like they were advancing without facing any fears. Of course, it would also be possible for them to do the same thing, but the renewed sense of danger would always make them rethink their decision.
It would have been better to stop and think, but these beauties moved every three seconds. This also made them wonder if they would be daring enough to hold the three-second rule for the eighth step!
"..."
Davis was also shocked by this time.
'Could it be they're planning to fully cross the steps...? No way...'
Needless to say, that was very foolish as all of them would have their cultivation base sealed, and that wasn't even the problem as the ninth step's seal was unknown. The eighth step already brought them down to Level One Immortal King Stage, so what does the ninth step do!?
Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley clenched their teeth as they stood firm on the seventh step.
Their hearts pounded in their bosoms, the fear intensifying with each breath. The staircase above them now felt like it stretched endlessly, with countless dangers placed between them. The dense air around them crackled with a strange atmosphere, sending sparks of fear coursing through their veins as it pricked them.
Doubt gnawed at the edge of their minds.
Should they continue to move ahead or give up?
While Davis and the others were watching them, Evelynn, Isabella and Shirley adhered to their three second rule and raised their legs, leaping forward to the eighth step!
"No fucking way..."
Atsuo looked moved his head as he watched them leap past him. It hurt his pride as a man when four women managed to go up. Of course, he also had the confidence to go up but it seemed stupid enough that the action of moving up seemed no different than courting death!
Yi Feng's eyes widened as he heard the Divine Emperor of Death's reasoning.
His father and mother were watching...?
He shuddered. Instantly, he turned to look at the spatial vortex at the altar, appearing to gather some courage.
He turned to look at the Immortal Dreams Palace to look at his own pathetic figure, causing him to stand straight and glare.
"Imperial father. Imperial mother. Watch as your son becomes a peak cultivator and rules the world!"
He uttered some childish fantasy, waving his hand before he stormed towards the spatial vortex. Without stopping, he arrived at the altar and dashed into the spatial vortex.
Everyone watched with shock on their faces.
Did this naive brat just fall for a sweet deal and made himself a sacrifice? No one knew what was on the other side. He could be crushed by some trap for all they knew.
"So evil...!"
Some glared at Davis for taking advantage of a child, but he remained guilt-free as he smiled.
"I see. Entering the spatial vortex marks the end of the first trial for the inheritor."
After his words dropped, many were confused, but a second later, they started noticing that the rankings had changed for the first time.
[
Ranking:
1st place: Yi Feng - 5
]
Their eyes widened in shock.
The number of stairs they climbed denoted how much their cultivation would decrease but also marked the number of points earned?
Instantly, their expressions turned unsightly, leaving them no choice but to climb higher. However, the danger was also equally high, as those who remained in the first step could easily kill them.
Then again, it also begged the question: how many points were they supposed to earn to win the Candidacy!?
