Chapter 3620 Moving Out

Yi Feng trembled as he stood on the platform,overlookingthe inheritors with teary eyes. He looked as though hewaswronged.

Many inheritors shared the same feeling.

What the heck was this?

Theywere already suppressed from Peak-Level Immortal Emperors to Level Four Immortal King Stagewhen they awakened from the Heavenly Ice Stasis Valley.To be accurate, that cultivation was turned into somesort ofinvisible power that helped their prowess rise by two levels.

Prowess was valued more than cultivation base as it marked their status as heavenly geniuses, so they were more than happy to accommodate such a change.

They quickly spent anexorbitantamount of immortal crystals to rise back to the peak of the Immortal King Stage, only to find out that they couldn't enter the Immortal Emperor Stage.

All of this was fine. After all,theygained something from it, and the Candidacy was supposed to be fair.

However, are they now being forced to have their cultivations regressed again?

What the h.e.l.l was this supposed to mean? Were they being played with?

Many felt anger rise from within but they didn't voiceout their opinionor make complaints like Yi Feng did. The other party was a child who looked no more than fifteen years old and they were adults, so they couldn'tbe makinga fuss about it.

In fact,it could be saidYi Fengvented for them as well.

Still, theywere at a lossas to how to proceed.

If they rose up the stairs,thentheir cultivations would be regressed. If they didn't walk up and enter the left or right wing to leave,then the appropriate amountof cultivation levels would be taken away or sealed from them depending on the number of steps theyhaverisen to.

They couldn't go down or suffer from critical injuries.

So those who were hasty and already went up were full of regret but at the same time, they didn't know what kind of treasures awaited them at the peak. Perhaps,the last three steps, seventh, eighthand ninth stepgave enormous benefits that they couldn't think of as much asitsealed their cultivations.

It could be like what Fairy Thunderblaze said: The higher you climb, the better the treasures youcouldfind. She was right so far and even took the eighth step, setting an example for all of them, so theyalso wanted to show they weren't any lesser but the difference in one's cultivation could mean life and death since most of them had similar prowess.

It made them remain in their step and contemplate a lot. The fact that there was no time limit for this trial so far also helped themremaincalm, even making the ones who used brawns instead of brains finally think.

Davis gazed at Fairy Thunderblaze, who shudderedever solightly as she stood on the eighth step.

'Is the sense of danger still affecting her?'

He narrowed his eyes, wondering how worse it could be that he also wanted to stop there. After all, sensing dangers was his forte,so it madehim wonder how fearful it would make him feel.

Nonetheless, by this time, everyone discovered the reason forthesense of dangeris thatwith each step, their cultivation would regress. The formation embedded on the staircase invoked their sense of danger and thereby,caused them to hallucinate all kinds of fear they could envision.

Isabella and s.h.i.+rley receivedcertain reports that stated this were the case, so they looked at each other, finally making the decisionto climb the staircase.

"See you later, darling~"

s.h.i.+rley waved her hand, causing Davis to come out of his reverie and look at the three of them.

It seemed like theywere finally going toleave, causing him to take a deep breath and send them off with a heavy nod.

"Allies can turn into enemies. Watch out for each other, and don't ever betray one another.If there ever came a timewhereyou had to sacrifice yourself or the other, remember to look in the face and stab. Don't do it from behind. If Everlight fails, I'll perish all my methodsin orderto revive you no matter what."

"With such a backing, we don't need to worry." s.h.i.+rley giggled as she heard his soul transmission.

Isabella also laughed lightly, but Evelynn remained solemn.

"Be careful. Death isn't the only worse end us women can meet."

"Such a thing won't happen."Davis rea.s.sured them,"This isbroadcastedworldwide and one of the sins, greed is being punished in this trial, so it might be the case for other sins in different trials. I don't think any man would dare to do such a thing but still, follow your big sister's words for the most part.No one can truly predict what can happen."

"Yes~" Isabella and s.h.i.+rley nodded.

They caught Evelynn's hands side by side and hovered towards the staircase as though going on a picnic, making Davis smile.

Zahara and Yeyin also gave a heavy nod to Davis before they followed them.

The way toward the staircase was already spa.r.s.ely populated because the inheritors gathered at the staircase since other inheritors on the ground could attack them. This allowed the five of them to traverse freely without encountering a problem and make it to the Stairway of Regression.

The moment they took the first step, they experienced it firsthand.

A faint,veryvague sense of unease brushed against their skin like a whisper of caution. It would be very similar to feeling something amiss but not that dangerous.

The sensation was quite negligible, but they basked in it for three whole seconds beforethe three of themtook a leap again together and made it to the second step.

Daviswas watching overtheir movements keenly, no longer interested in anyone else.

Considering that Evelynn, Isabella, and s.h.i.+rley held hands, Davis knew they had exchanged numerous soul transmissions and discussed what theywere going todo.

He was curious as to what kind of decision they had made.

To him, it was clear what a power should do iftheyhad three inheritors. He would argue for them to occupy the first, third, and sixth staircases, respectively,in orderto accommodate all three realms of difficulty: Early, Mid, and Late Stageand atthe same time,allow them to be ableto protect each other so even if they were besieged by ahigher levelcultivator, they should be able to fight back instead of getting slaughtered helplessly.

It was unknown what kind of decision his wives would take, so he was excited to know. Somehow, he was starting to feel a sense of pride with each step they took, as though their courage andvalordirectly translated into his.

The moment they took the second step, he knew theywere going tostop anywhere near the Early Stage difficulty.

Indeed, Evelynn, Isabella and s.h.i.+rley had moved onto the second step while Zahara and Yeyin remained on the first step. While the latter two experiencedthevague sense of danger that couldn't be noticed unless focused, Evelynn, Isabella and s.h.i.+rley felt a tingling sensation creep up their spines.

It was a subtle warning of impending danger.

However, this danger didn't seem to be much of a threat as they didn't feel any kind of stress or anxiety.Utmost, it wassimilar to how a weak attack was going to fall on them.Even if it fell on their defenseless body, it wouldn't make a scratch.

That was the height of this sense of danger.

Like on the first step, they remained on the second step for three seconds, experiencing the fear it has to provide for them before they leaped to the third step.

Quickly, a flutter of anxiety dances in their hearts, a gentle reminder of sizeable danger.

However, it didn't stop them, and under everyone's shocked gazes, their figures flowed as they made their way to the fourth step!

Evelynn, Isabella, and s.h.i.+rley finally looked at each other, amus.e.m.e.ntvisibleon their faces as they now felt like a knot had formed in their stomachs, a sense of foreboding that tried to make them sick. Perhaps it was also an indicator of theperilousjourney ahead that would cause their cultivation to regress more, but thistype of danger finally caught their attention, allowing them to know why the majority stopped at the fourth step, not daring to venture further.

Still, they didn't stop. They spent three seconds on the fourth step,making their wayto the fifth step at the next second.

""

Evelynn, Isabella, and s.h.i.+rley's amused expressions finally made a frown. The grip on each other's hands subconsciously tightened as though seeking each other's support. Right now, they felt a s.h.i.+ver run down their spines, inducing a guttural sensation of danger that made them feel like a heavy attackwas going tofall on them.

If they didn't dodge this attack,it was likely they wouldbe heavily injured.

But still, they collectively moved at the same time three seconds later, leaping towards the sixth step.

"!"

Numerous jaws dropped.

Didn't these beauties know what was happening?

No one dared to moveforwardto the sixth step after knowing their cultivation would regress to the Early Stage! If they were at the Level Nine Immortal King Stage, that would lower their cultivation to the Level Three Immortal King Stage, essentially pus.h.i.+ng them down to the Early Stage. It was ridiculous one would take a step to the sixth step knowing that the chances they could be instakilled were plenty! It was the case especially when no one knew what kind of treacherous environment lay beyond the spatial vortex waiting to take them in.

Evelynn, Isabella, and s.h.i.+rley landed on the sixth step.

Atsuo's expression dimmed. The mixed toad-rhinoceros fey inheritor raised his brows in amus.e.m.e.nt. Tahundra, who was also on the sixth step, looked as though he couldn't believe his eyes, wondering why beauties of this caliber, no different than Celestial Fairies, would come all this way to the sixth step considering the lower the cultivation base, the higher the chances they would be d.a.m.ned.

At that moment, the crowdunisonlywatched the three beauties ascend in awe. One was adorned with luxurious purple, the other regal goldand the third draped infiery crimson. Each step they took was unwavering and the way they held each other's hands made it clear the amount of trust they possessed for each other.

These women were three inheritors of different factions.Howcome they wereunited when they wereatopposing sides?

Some couldn't help back and look at the Divine Emperor of Death, wondering how this evil b.a.s.t.a.r.d managed togain-no, unite such valiant beauties.
