Chapter 3623 The Ninth Step

Chapter 3623 The Ninth Step

Her figure trembled even more severely as she had the thought of taking a step forward, and as she moved her leg, visions of her deep fears struck her, making her almost paralyzed from head to toe.

She couldn't move, and even if she wanted to talk, it felt like she was buried under the earth, suffocating to death.

She stepped back like she had been pushed, her legs severely trembling as she forced a smile while looking at the ninth step.

'This looks almost impossible...'

Fairy Thunderblaze wondered. Previously, the fears only increased in intensity when she stepped on the next step but now, even before she landed on the ninth step, the intensity exponentially increased.

The deepest parts of her soul were screaming at her not to tread to the ninth step, or something hideous and calamitous would befall her.

She had never felt such danger in her entire life, making her gasp for breath heavily.

Many saw that Fairy Thunderblaze was unable to reach the ninth step and this made some brave inheritors wonder if they could reach it.

They clenched their fists and began to climb up from the first step, taking it as a challenge.

Many inheritors gave up at the fifth step. They decided that sealing their cultivations to Level Four Immortal King Stage would be the best course of action so they could optimally be at a better place and still have somewhat of a better rate of survivability to escape from foes.

And just as Davis expected, many powers decided to follow the three-stage encompassing plan he thought of.

One inheritor was assigned to the first step, one to the third step, and one to the sixth step. This allowed them to have a powerful Level Eight Immortal King in the Late Stage, a Level Six Immortal King in the Mid Stage, and a Level Three Immortal King in the Early Stage, allowing them to encompass all kinds of difficulties and have each other's back.

Most of the major powers followed this plan since they had three or even four inheritors, like the Earth Dragon Clan and Fire Phoenix Clan.

If they had four inheritors, it allowed one of the four inheritors to do as they pleased.

But in truth, no one knew the Fire Phoenix Clan and the Ice Phoenix Clan had five inheritors each. This was due to Zahara and Yeyin or, in truth, Flamerose and Frostrose being reborn into this world, allowing them to have the right to the Candidacy.

The two of them still seemed to be on the first step.

They had their phoenix eyes narrowed. They were bent on being a support to Shirley, so they wanted to give up on the first step and conserve their cultivation in order to be of big help to her.

That thought didn't change after they saw her go limp on the eighth step, as they couldn't fathom how fearful it was to even be there.

It was none other than Rea Tyriel. She glared at Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley, showing as though she wasn't any lesser than them when it came to bravery. However, she fainted three seconds later, getting teleported to the platform.

Then, there was a man who was none other than a Blaze Wolf Fey, his features sharp and handsome. His expression was clouded with fear, but he seemed to be faring well. He was none other than the Emperor-Tier Blaze Wolf Fey, who Davis pointed out.

Dewzai, the Devilish Flame Fox Clan's Emperor-Tier Fey inheritor, was also here.

Evelynn, Isabella and Shirley noticed that their husband was on point when he said to watch out for them. Even the Azure Tree woman was at the seventh step, contemplating whether to enter the eighth step or not since she was probably attending this competition solo.

As for the Lust Garden's male dual cultivator, they couldn't find him anywhere at the upper steps or even the mid steps. He was perhaps in the sea of inheritors at the lower steps.

Perhaps Davis was wrong about him, but then again, it wasn't like all powerful ones wanted to challenge the Stairway of Regression since it made them suffer a massive disadvantage by having their cultivations sealed.

Some powerful ones, like the Lunaris Family inheritor who had the Silvermoon Physique, and Chanon of the Goldlust Rat Clan with King-Tier Bloodline, remained at the first step, looking to increase their chances at the next few trials while having their cultivation base only regress a single level.

They seemed fine with only having one point from this trial.

"Are you ready?"

Taking in all this sight, Evelynn looked at her two sisters. They wanted to make it to the ninth step no matter what. Even if they failed to make it, they would only faint momentarily and appear on the platform.

They felt that it was better than giving up by themselves, although they certainly didn't want to embarrass themselves.

However, before they moved, Dewzai from the Devilish Flame Fox Clan took a step forward.

Her fine legs leaped into the air, but her jump didn't seem to allow her to reach the ninth step. Instead, she sank down and fell before the ninth step's wall as she crouched, trembling heavily as she went wide-eyed.

As her Emperor-Tier undulations spread with intensity, she let out a strange moan, one that was filled with embarrassment from the depths of her soul.

"..."

Evelynn and Fairy Thunderblaze noticed a puddle form underneath Dewzai before it swiftly evaporated.

They didn't know what to say and neither did the others as all the inheritors on the eight step noticed it before Dewzai managed to evaporate her pee. At that moment, she remained crouched, her eyes looking devoid of any liveliness whatsoever.

'Shit... I feel like leaking myself now...'

Everyone at the eighth step thought without fail. The fact that Dewzai embarrassed herself wasn't on their mind, but the sight of her peeing induced their own as they wanted to be released from this situation, making them look away and try to control themselves.
