At this moment, every observer's attention was glued on the graceful devil, Evie, as she was climbing the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase with a cold, aloof expression. She was already on the 33rd step at this moment, while the others were still struggling between the 10th to 20th steps, and some of them even gave up.

The Ten Imperial Teachers in the Principal Tower were watching without blinking, and their eyes brightened with each step Evie took.

"She has already stepped into the second section of courage in less than ten minutes; this has to be a record." The demon commented while nodding in satisfaction.

"Indeed, the strength section of the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase tests the participant's strength through illusion, and the higher the cultivation, the more profound the illusion. She has literally speed-run the strength section, which means her fighting prowess is astonishing.

"Now, the courage section will test her courage by making her go through inhumane scenarios and choices. Even if she has strength, without courage, it means nothing." A giant woman from Skylar Clan stated coldly, but her eyes didn't leave the screen.

"Let's see how much time she would take to break past the first staircase." A violet skin winged devil with scholarly air said great interest in his tranquil eyes.

"She's taking the next step. How fast!"

Everyone's eyes brightened when they saw Evie take another step, but to their shock, she didn't take more time and directly took the second step, then the third…fourth… 38th…

It was like she was climbing the normal staircase, and they all even wondered if the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase was functioning normally anymore. If not for the other participants behind Evie, they would've already suspected that the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase was broken.

"I don't understand how she's climbing so fast. Does this mean she fears nothing, or does she simply not care about her own life or death?" Another woman in the Imperial Teacher group furrowed. She was an elf with regal bearing and gentle features.

Even the other imperial teachers don't have the answer to her question since this is the first time they have witnessed such a scene. They had all climbed on the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase not just once but multiple times.

Yet, they always encounter far worse trials than the previous time and never make progress. Furthermore, the continuous use of the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase could damage the soul permanently, so the School is only allowed to climb it after a cultivation breakthrough.

However, now Evie was already approaching the 60th step and some of the imperial teachers here hadn't made it there themselves. Not just in the past 500 years, no one except for the imperial family has ever been able to climb up to the 60th step at all.

The current generation of the imperial family held the record of entering above the 60th step, but none of them were able to reach the 71st. The highest one able to climb was the Imperial Crown Prince; his record was the 70th step.

At this moment, Evie was already standing on the 66th step and about to step on the 67th step and enter the final section of the will.

In this section, one needs both power and courage to climb further, and this section was the most mysterious of the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase because no one can remember what they saw or went through here once they exited the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase.

It was like their memories were completely wiped out once they exited from the third section of the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase.

"Inform the Vice Principal and Principal that a genius outside the Imperial Family has appeared." A burly giant coldly declared he was also from the Skylar clan.

Everyone nodded before an old human vanished from the room while the others were still observing Evie without blinking.

'Hmph, I have no fear in my heart except for losing him, and my Ring of Endearment is proof of his safety and love for me. So, all these illusions of pity, hatred, anger, killing, and so on are useless against me.

'What a useless trial. If not for my purpose, I wouldn't be wasting so much time by going through all this nonsense and showing off.' Evie thought with a hint of indignation as she stepped on the 67th step.

Although the pressure was enough to break even law awareness realm cultivator bones, it was nothing to her, and she could easily overpower all the illusions because of her strong and unyielding will.

The moment she stepped on the 67th stairstep, the pressure suddenly vanished. Instead, she felt a strange force directly invading her body and seeping into her soul.

'Abyss Devour!' She coldly snickered.

Within her pitch-black soul space like an endless abyss, a devilish black soul opened its empty eyes, and the next moment, its mouth was opened, and all the strange energy that was seeping into her soul directly channeled into its abyssal maw, forming a tiny vortex.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

'Hmm? What is this Qi? It's helping my cultivating to raise slightly!' Evie's eyes shimmered in astonishment before a hint of ecstasy flashed past them.

A greedy glint flashed past her eyes, 'If that's the case, then don't mind if you devour everything in this stupid staircase!'

Without hesitation, she took another step, and the strange force grew stronger, and an illusion of living hell appeared in front of her eyes. She completely ignored the bone-melting heat and focused on devouring the strange Qi, and her cultivation climbed even faster.

She has no fear of anyone as she continues to climb and absorb that Qi, and her cultivation is growing faster and faster with each extra step. She knew just how many resources she needed to enter the Law Comprehension Intermediate Stage, and she didn't want to further impose on her lover, so she decided to part with him to collect her own cultivation resources and also helped him in the process.

Now, she has discovered this rare chance to raise her cultivation quickly; she wasn't going to give up or remain low-

key, even if it meant blowing off her cover.

Once she enters the next stage, there might be no one who could stop her anymore except for 'him' for she was none other than Eva and also the thief whose name has been circling in the Imperial City, Evil Venerable Angel!
