Chapter 990 Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase (1)

The Mortal Heart Imperial City was the heart of the Mortal Sky Heart Empire, and every high-ranking noble from the Imperial Marquise to the Imperial Grand Duke was allowed to live there.

Except for the empire nobles, the Alchemy Guild and Formation Guild also have their main headquarters in the imperial city. But there was another existence that stood above all these powers and only below the Imperial Palace, the Sky Heart Imperial School.

The Sky Heart Imperial School was founded by the first Mortal Emperor when he conquered the lands from myriad races and regained supreme over them, becoming the one and only Mortal Emperor. At least, that's what the historical records described it.

Anyhow, the Sky Heart Imperial School was a dream of every youth, for it was the best institute in the entire Sky Heart Plains, and the Imperial Family also sent their members to learn.

They had nurtured many historical figures. Even the Mortal Emperors had to graduate from the Sky Heart Imperial School before they could become the Mortal Emperors; it was like a tradition.

Almost all the young prodigies of the Sky Heart Plains come here every year to try their luck and enter this legendary institute. However, their admission criteria were extremely strict, and if you failed twice, you would never be able to take the entrance exam again.

Today was the final day of the entrance examination, and the teachers were paying close attention to the youngsters just in case they found a diamond in the rough and could take it as their personal student.

The students also try their best to draw the royal teachers' attention, and if they could draw the attention of the Imperial Teachers who ranked higher than the Royal Teachers, their social standing would soar.

The final test to the Sky Heart Imperial School was famous all over the Sky Heart Plains; it was named the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase.

The Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase was a mysterious treasure, and legend has it that it was found by the First Mortal Emperor in one of the mystery plains, the Devil Mountains Plain!

The Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase was a staircase of 99 stairs with three different sections of 33 stairs each, which test people's Strength, Courage, and Willpower.

But it wasn't as plane as its name suggested. With each higher step, the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase will release powerful pressure and a dark aura that will give people lifelike hallucinations. Each section will have different tests, and there is even a chance of losing one life, and their souls and bodies will be devoured by the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase!

Astounded, she took the second step while the others were still struggling to become accustomed to the pressure, and this time, the pressure doubled, but she remained unmoved.

Suddenly, the scene changed before her eyes, and she saw a huge mountain-like claw descending on her, filled with murderous intent.

"Hmph, paltry illusion!" A sliver of pitch-black streak suddenly flashed past her eyes, and the mountainous claw suddenly shattered like a mirror.

Her expression was still as aloof and dismissive as she moved to the third step, and this drew almost all the observing people's attention!

At the highest tower within the Sky Heart Imperial School, also known as Principal Tower, ten old men in black gold robes were solemnly watching the projection screen in front of them, which was focused on the devil girl at this moment, and she had taken another step.

Those old men's emotionless eyes shimmered with a hint of surprise.

"Who is she?" An old demon with empty eye sockets questioned in his husky voice.

A middle-aged giant woman from the Skylar Clan coldly waved her sleeve, and a string of words appeared on the projection screen.

"Participant No.19039. Name: Evie Gray Shadow, Affiliation: Gray Shadow Devil Grand Duke Clan, Third Daughter of Gray Shadow Devil Grand Duke. Age: 17, Cultivation: Platinum Soul Embryo Realm.

"No bad." The Demon nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Evie successfully stepped on the fifth stairstep.

Everyone's eyes began to shimmer as they looked at Evie like they were looking at treasure!
