Lorelei shook her head. “No. You will be kicked out of the Heavenly Stairs after you fail. If failing from above is considered punishment, then it's a yes.”“I’ll go up and give it a try then,” Jane bluntly said.The Heavenly Stairs had a width of over twenty meters, accommodating everyone present.“Wait! It’d be best if we didn’t go up together!” reminded Lorelei.However, it was already too late. The swift Jade had rushed to the first step right away. Then, she froze on top of it.Lorelei was helpless. “Why are you so anxious?”Gilbert asked, “Is there anything particular about it?”Lorelei explained, “If you ascend the steps at the same time, you will experience the same ordeal. However, different personas will be given in the ordeal of the Heavenly Stairs, and conflicts may occur in the ordeal’s missions, affecting each other.”Gilbert asked, “That shouldn’t be too much of a problem, right?”Nebula said, “What if the condition for her advancement is to kill him?”“Huh? Su
‘Death Inn?’Alex froze for a moment. ‘Who would operate an inn with such a name? Wouldn’t customers turn around and leave the moment they saw such an ominous name?’Alex could feel how miserable he was. He clearly saw the ominous inn, yet he still wanted to enter.Just then, there was a series of rumbling behind him.‘What’s going on?’He looked back, only to see a billowing yellow cloud of sand that had appeared in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, at the moment, he didn’t have his divine eye, primordial eye, and X-ray vision. Hence, his vision was slightly blurred as the yellow sand enveloped him.The huge commotion only quietened after reaching a hundred meters in front of the inn.Only then did Alex see it clearly.There were four people: three men and a woman, all wearing face scarves.As for their mounts, they were on four precious Nisean horses!Although Alex’s cultivation base was gone, he still remained sensible. As soon as the four people appeared, he felt a stro
The woman with the long whip looked slightly wretched as she got to her feet. The scarf fell off, revealing her true face. After taking a good look, Alex almost screamed... It was a genuinely unsightly face. There were two centipede-like wounds with a deformed mouth that was abnormally large and crooked, looking terrifying and disgusting.Rage welled up in the woman's heart. She wanted to kill someone.The person whom she wanted to kill was clearly Alex. She glared at him like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.However—“Amber, hold your horses. Just treat someone as petty as him as non-existent.”“Maximilia Calypse has a rule. Murder is not allowed within a 100-meter radius of her inn. Otherwise, she will kill you, and she is not all talk.”The woman also knew about that rule. Eventually, she could only leave the matter unresolved and turn around in anger.However, after walking for a short distance, she suddenly turned back and said, “I’m not going to kill him. I just feel
A burst of laughter rocked the inn.No one believed Alex, and they treated him like a fool instead.They looked at the fool. He was incompatible with a place like the Death Inn and was simply worlds apart from them.“Scholar, walk out of the entrance now and stay in the stable for a night. Perhaps you can still survive until tomorrow. You might really lose your life, otherwise!” said an old man with white hair and beard to Alex... He was considered the kindest among the guests in the inn.Alex looked at him. “Thank you for your kindness, but with this weak body of mine, I can’t stay in a stable. It’s more comfortable to stay in a room.”“Hahaha...”That speech invoked a burst of uncontrollable laughter once again.“Fool! What a ridiculous fool!”“In that case, let’s see how you’ll get Maximilia Calypse to provide you a free room! Are you trying to make her fancy your pretty face so you’ll become a guest of honor?”Someone yelled directly upstairs. “Maximilia! Maximilia, come q
After Alex finished speaking, Maximilia unexpectedly grabbed his hand and cackled. “Go to my room.”Without warning, she grabbed Alex and flew up to the second floor.She opened a certain door and walked in with a smile.“Uh...”“Ah...”The guests downstairs were dumbfounded for a moment.Someone booed only after Alex and Maximilia disappeared, and a flurry of discussions followed—“What happened? Does Maximilia really fancy that dumb scholar?”“I don’t think so. That fragile scholar won’t satisfy Maximilia. If she really wanted to choose a man, she would’ve chosen someone like me.”“Pooh! How shameless. Why don’t you look in the mirror? A piece of coal would be ashamed of how fair it is compared to you.”“What’s wrong with coal? Did coal offend you? Yor, you should look in the mirror. Your face looks as yellow as poop.”“F*ck off! You must be looking for a fight!”That man who shouted took out a long sword and was about to start a fight.It was then that a burst of cold l
Alex was shocked to see Maximilia’s reaction. “You know the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell?!” he asked.Maximilia nodded. “I even know you are not Zechariah Hadid.”“Huh?”Alex was shocked, but he concealed his emotions. “Maximilia, you sure make a good joke. I am Zechariah Hadid. How could I remember my name wrongly?”Maximilia forced a smile. She abruptly reached out and pinched Alex’s nose. “Rockefeller brat, don’t you know who I am?”‘Holy crap!’Alex’s mind went into overdrive. He stared intently at Maximilia’s face. “Jade Benmore?”Smack!Maximilia flicked her forehead. “Impudent! Call me Master!”Yup. Maximilia was none other than Jade.Jade was also genuinely baffled. When she stepped onto the first step of the Heavenly Stairs, she experienced the same situation as Alex. However, she found that she had become a young proprietress of an exotic inn. More importantly, the inn was operating in the desert. It was truly peculiar.In fact, she still wasn’t accustomed to it.
Phoenix Sect.Somewhere between dozens of divine pillars in the shrine on the immortal mountain…A stunning beauty floated among the sacred pillars.She was none other than Dorothy Assex, who had left Alex to find the Legacy alone.At that moment, she had acquired the Legacy and just needed some time to digest it, but her mental strength had greatly improved. Of course, Xienna Stoermer still played the dominant role at that time.‘Now, my mental strength has surged. With the help of the Legacy’s divine pillars, I should be able to find that person in the sea of people!’Xienna’s fixation was on her lover from her previous life.Having such an opportunity, she naturally wouldn’t miss it.Her soul immediately phased out of her body.Dozens of Legacy’s divine pillars abruptly emitted dazzling light that soared into the sky.A massive mental intent gushed out.She was looking for the man carrying her imprint.No!No!There was still nothing!Unconvinced, she refused to give
Jade didn’t know.She simply hadn’t listened to Lorelei’s explanation.“It’s because I took the first step that we both experienced the same trial in the illusionary realm!” said Jade.“It’s the only plausible explanation.” Alex looked at Maximilia’s unfamiliar appearance. In fact, he was slightly incapable of substituting her character for Jade. “Look at your current appearance. You really don’t look like yourself at all. You seem flirty when you smile!”“Get lost! What makes you think you are any better?”“Is there a mirror?” Alex still didn’t know what he looked like!“Isn’t one over there?” Jade pointed at a large bronze mirror by the table. Alex walked over and looked at it, only to find himself... he really had a pretty face.He was good-looking, albeit feminine and lacking masculinity.“Alright. Isn’t it just a test? Who cares what we look like? By the way, there is a mission in the Heavenly Stairs trial. What is your mission?” asked Jade.“Speaking of which, what a coi
The Fiend Lord’s mentor was Blaine Rockefeller.However...Grand Emperor Rowan was puzzled. “You are the last Everlasting Being? But we were sworn brothers 10,000 years ago, weren’t we?”Blaine smiled and fished out a box of cigars. “Would you like one?”After a moment, the three people smoked at the foot of Mount Yukon.Blaine suddenly spewed out a puff of smoke. He then tapped the cigar lightly and said, “Samsara, life, soul, matter, universe, void...”That puff of smoke evolved.Eventually, he snapped his fingers and said, “Women!”The smoke turned into Zendaya’s lifelike appearance. She was a real person.Alex rushed over and hugged Zendaya immediately.Zendaya touched Alex’s face. “Hubby, am I still alive?”“I, I, I don’t know either.”After he said that, he kissed her passionately.Blaine snapped his fingers again, and Zendaya disappeared instantly.“This is...”“Idiot!” Blaine flicked the ash off his cigar. “Do you still not understand it?”Alex looked at Blaine,
Alex burst into tears when she saw the Phoenix Empress.She was still protecting Phoenix firmly at the final moment of her life...“Honey! Dorothy... They are dead! They are all dead!”He pulled his hair out, completely unable to accept such a result.He did not know how long he used the last move, but it seemed like a century had passed outside the Phanes Realm. ‘There is no one left. What’s the point of living when I am the only one left?’He held Dorothy with one hand and Phoenix with the other hand, whereas Shelly was lying next to his feet.He shed tears and bawled sorrowfully.Just then, a ray of light flashed.A crystal-clear stone suddenly exploded at the scene, and someone popped out... It was Grand Emperor Rowan who was drenched in blood. He did not die. He was still alive.Looking at him, Alex cried louder.Immediately afterward, an even louder cry sounded around him.Grand Emperor Rowan was crying.Nothing was more painful in this world than having his beloved o
Alex realized that he was trapped.He had ants in his pants. Dorothy, Phoenix, Shelly, Grand Emperor Rowan, and his family were outside... Since he was trapped here, they could be in danger.“Break it!”He grabbed the Phanes Ax and struck forcefully, but to his surprise, it was as if he was hitting cotton—he could not exert any strength.“Calm down! Calm down! No hurry!“This is Phanes Banner, an existence on the same level as the Phanes Ax. It won’t work if I strike it forcefully...”At that moment, the huge grindstone kept moving in the diffracted universe, and countless living beings were ground into flesh and blood. This time, the living beings on Earth could no longer withstand the grindstone and were continuously sucked into it.Currently, the entire diffracted universe was going to end in deadlock, as if the final result had been predetermined.Death and extinction seemed to be the final way.“Ah—! That’s right. I understand it. The three thousand great spells and the c
The mother-daughter duo—the Phoenix Empress and Phoenix—spilled blood in the air.That sword’s might did not stop there, but it came down in a ruthless slash. At the scene, Dorothy and Zendaya could not keep up with their strength. They had insufficient power!Both the women were standing in front of Alex as long-range supporters.It was then that the sword descended. Zendaya turned the vines into a shield and blocked it.Poof!The vine shield shattered instantly, and the sword almost tore her apart. Knocked back abruptly and crashing into Alex’s fusion barrier, she spilled a great amount of blood on it.Boom! Boom!Alex’s heart trembled vigorously. Seeing Zendaya at the last gasp before his eyes, Alex was so heartbroken that he could not breathe. Meanwhile, the face of the white-clothed woman in his mind finally became clear.“Yukina! Daya Stoermer! Yukina is Daya Stoermer!“I finally remembered it. I finally remembered it. It turns out that the three lifetimes you’ve been ta
Grand Emperor Rowan brought momentary relief to Earth through the self-destruction of the Six Eternities.Those who were about to be sucked into the grindstone broke free from the restraints. Moreover, that huge grindstone faded away gradually and disappeared.“Ha! The grindstone is gone!”“It’s over! Great!”The people on Earth, especially those who had a narrow escape, shouted joyfully and hugged each other. Even if the men and women were unacquainted, they embraced each other excitedly.However, someone started crying shortly afterward because several nodes of the force field were broken, and at least a million living beings were sucked out of Earth before they were thrown into the grindstone and ground into flesh and blood.Someone powerful like Agatha sacrificed her life for the greater good.Even Saria failed to escape.She was also sucked into the grindstone after Agatha.Everyone was in great sorrow.Even so, the great crisis hadn’t yet been averted.Grand Emperor Ro
Autumn fell to the ground and was grabbed by Brittany.William..., on the other hand, was immediately sucked out when the suction force was restored."Husband!""Grandpa!"Brittany and Autumn wept as they watched William enter the grimstone and transform into flesh and blood."Dad—""Dad ......"This was also seen by Dorothy, Zendaya, and Alex.They were taken aback all at once.Alex roared.It had been so difficult for him to find his father and restore him to normalcy, and for all these years, he had been away, and he hadn't had time to honor his filial piety properly. In the end, he had actually gone like that."I want your life, Ancient Divinity, you son of a bitch!""Boom, boom—" Fiend Lord’s heart was beating faster and faster. The fusion still continued as it still needed time. The energy of those flesh and blood was stopping him, destroying him. The dark demonic lotus in his body was a little untenable.At this time.Earth.The node of destruction grew in size
The Earth was in peril, and everyone's life was on the line.Grand Emperor Rowan made a bold move and unleashed his most powerful attack...The gates of the Six Eternities all opened, and ghosts cried out from within the gusts of gloomy wind.It blasted straight towards the altar, which was being controlled by the Ancient Divinity and others, as well as the countless sacrificed flesh and blood."The Six Eternities?""Good guy, this magical treasure has vanished for countless years, but it has actually appeared in this mole's body. Not bad, not bad. With the Six Eternities, we can control the Everlasting Door more easily.""Go, kill them, and snatch the Six Eternities," the Ancient Divinity laughed and said to the Bull Demon King.The Bull Demon King quickly led his disciples and sons to attack Grand Emperor Rowan and the others."Come and help!" Phoenix exclaimed right away.Everyone started assisting Grand Emperor Rowan.The Six Eternities, a magical treasure, did not disappoi
However, the suction was disrupted.People who flew up fell back down.The sensation that everyone was about to float away vanished as well.Soon, the audience witnessed an incomparably amazing scene.In a nearby world, a massive dragon was being pulled. It roared and resisted but to no avail. It finally plunged into the grimstone, where it was instantly ground into flesh and blood… Those flesh and blood fell from the grimstone but seemed to fall into some strange channel. They vanished.Then, there were more living things.Due to the distance, the average person could not see those small living creatures unless they cultivated their eyes with spiritual power to a certain level. However, a large number of creatures were sucked into the grimstone and ground into flesh and blood.There was no shortage of powerful and mighty individuals among them.Even mortals could see the situation clearly with the naked eye.Agatha hovered in the air, and her expression solemn.This was an e
Diffracted Universe.Earth.It was now midday, and the sun beat down brightly.A group of young men and women swam, played, and sunbathed on a golden beach, interacting with each other and enhancing each other's feelings.For example, one of the youth, Autumn, was pushed down onto the beach chair by a hot woman, who said, "Brother, the sun is so hot, I will give you sunscreen!"Then.As the words were spoken.The sun went completely dark.Everyone raised their eyes to the sky, only to discover that the sun that had been shining brightly all day had turned blood red. So much so that the light shining down was dark red like blood, and everything appeared to be bathed in blood light."What's the problem?""How did the sun become this?""Is it a solar eclipse?"However, everyone soon noticed that a massive grimstone had appeared next to the blood-colored sun.Alex would have been surprised if he had been present.This was due to his familiarity with the grimstone.He and Phoe
