“Hmm, what the hell is going on?”

Ai Li watched from the side, feeling a little uneasy.

This style did not seem right!

In the past, even if it was the first stone step, it would still be so hot that people’s feet would bubble.

Although it was not life-threatening, it was enough for ordinary people to cry for their parents and cry their eyes out.

Only when the demonic qi entered the body and transformed the tendons and veins of the body could the injuries be healed.

Then, they stepped onto the next stone step and repeated the previous process.

The temperature of each stone step was doubled. Correspondingly, the demonic qi that transformed the body was also doubled.

After being transformed, the increase in strength was visible to the naked eye.

This kind of temptation was like a drug, making people feel giddy and unable to stop.

People wailed in pain while enjoying the pleasure brought by the increase in strength.

After sublimating in the double purgatory of pain and pleasure, only those who persevered and did not lose their original hearts could pass the trial and become the winner of ascending the Stairway to Heaven.

All the cultivation of the demon gate had a bit of the flavor of a crazy demon, which was why there was the word ‘demon’ in it.

However, now, the style of the painting had completely collapsed.

Under the leadership of Qiu Ya, the girls of the Jade Fairy Mountain surrounded Alan and jumped around.

It was as if it was a festival. They were just short of singing and dancing.

There was nothing bloody about the demon sect.

What was even more infuriating was that under the influence of the disciples of the Jade Fairy Mountain, all the people who came to participate in the trial had begun to climb the Stairway to Heaven one after another.

It was unknown whether they were affected by their mentality or something else.

These guys had gone from being nervous at the beginning to laughing at the end.

All of them were fine.

Not to mention the blisters on the soles of their feet, but even their skin had not been damaged by magic.

It was as if they had really only walked on a few ordinary stone steps.

Alan took a few tentative steps, but his body did not feel any discomfort.

After the demonic energy contained on the stone steps saw Alan, it was like a swallow returning to the forest, one after another, and it automatically drilled into the soles of his feet.

When others stepped on the stone steps, they could only absorb a little bit of demonic aura under their feet.

Alan reached the Sky Demon Realm in ten thousand years, and he had never stepped on the Stairway to Heaven.

When the demonic aura here met Alan, it was like a big pervert seeing a virgin. They rushed in desperately, afraid that they would be taken advantage of by others if they were late by even half a minute.

As a result, every step Alan took, the heat and demonic aura on the stone steps were all sucked dry.

The two forces were originally meant to interact with each other and help people to get rid of their tendons and purify their marrow.

Now, they were all gathered in Alan’s body and spiraled around each other, forming a golden core that was a mixture of red, ink, and black.

With every step Alan took, the golden core grew stronger.

Alan led Qiu Ya and the others all the way down, commenting on the scenery around the demon cave from time to time.

Everyone was in high spirits, talking and laughing. They did not have the slightest awareness that they were in the trial of the demon gate.

“What’s going on?”

Ai Li’s eyes were about to pop out from watching from the side.

They had already descended to the 100th step.

According to past experience, a newcomer who could reach this position could already be considered to have passed the test.

As long as they turned around and successfully returned, they would be considered official disciples of the demon gate.

Out of the 100 people, less than ten people could reach the 100th step.

Less than half of them could safely return.

However, now, under Alan’s lead, everyone was jumping around.

Amidst the cheers and laughter, they had already crossed this hidden line of life and death.

150 steps.

The corners of Ai Li’s eyes were already beginning to twitch.

Out of hundreds of people, not a single one was eliminated. Not only that, not even a drop of blood was left.

It had been thousands of years since he came to the demon gate.

This was the first time AI Li had encountered such a peaceful welcoming ceremony.

Two hundred steps.

Ai Li was not the only one. The onlookers who were watching the show could not sit still.

The Stairway to Heaven trial had already started for so long, but not a single scream was heard.

They did not know what Ai Li was up to. Why was it so slow?
