Number one’s soul wavered at this moment. His eyes dimmed. At this moment, song Qing’s small voice rang in his ear,”

“Number one!”

Her tone was cold, like ice and snow, and number one shivered.

“Be careful!” She reminded him coldly.

Number one came back to his senses and realized that he was two or three steps away from song qingxiao and number seven.

He realized that he had been in a daze earlier and had probably fallen into the Square’s trap. He was immediately frightened and hurriedly suppressed his fear as he strode over. He said sincerely,”

“Many thanks.”

Song qingxiao ignored his thanks. She walked to the stairs and looked down at them carefully.

Compared to the ground of the square, the stairs leading to the altar were quite flat. There were no protruding gray-white lines on the ground. Other than that, there was nothing unusual.

She pursed her lips, lifted her foot, and carefully took the first step up the stairs.

‘Bang’, the moment her feet touched the ground, a soft sound was heard.

Song qingxiao was stunned for a moment. The reason why she could hear the light footsteps so clearly was because all the wind, wails, and ghostly figures had disappeared from her ears.

The entire world seemed to have suddenly quieted down, and only the sound of his own breathing and the sound of his heart could be heard.

After going up the stairs, it was as if he was in a completely different world from the square.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but on the altar at the top of the stairs, the ‘lamp’ that emitted a Halo suddenly flashed, and it seemed to be brighter than before.

It was as if he was helping the trial-takers to illuminate the way to the undead altar and attracting them to move forward.

After song qingxiao stepped up the stairs, she instinctively turned around and looked back. Number seven was about to lift his leg when number one, who was only two steps away, rushed over with a head full of sweat.

The undead at the bottom of the stairs unwillingly reached out and tried to grab it, but when they were about to touch the edge of the stairs, they shrank back in fear.

It was as if there was an invisible boundary here that they could not cross.

With a soft thump, number seven also stepped on the stairs. After she came up, she looked surprised and raised her eyebrows. Obviously, she also felt that something was strange.

Number one followed closely behind him. When he came over, a ferocious-looking ‘undead’ passed through his body.

Even though number one knew that this ‘undead’ was only fooling his ‘eyes’ after his spiritual energy was affected, he still subconsciously raised his hand to block the ‘undead’ when he saw it charging at him.

However, this action was stopped when he reached the top of the stairs. Number one made a ‘huh’ sound.

He put his hand down and exchanged a look with song qingxiao.

The sound disappeared, and the ‘undead’ was blocked at the bottom of the stairs. However, when number 7 and number 1 went up the stairs one after another, song Qing clearly underestimated them. The light around them instantly brightened up a little.

Their arrival was like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The light in the undead altar was brighter than before, driving away the darkness. However, this light did not give people a sense of security. Instead, it made people feel cold.

Song qingxiao’s spiritual power was of the ice attribute, so she was the most sensitive to cold. This kind of cold did not come from the outside, but from the depths of the soul.

There was no movement on the altar. The ‘lamp’ on it was still emitting a cold white light, as if nothing had changed.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and looked up.

It was originally pitch-black above his head, so high that he couldn’t see the top. But now, in the darkness, there were three stars shining in a row, emitting light!

This made the roof of the entire cave look like the night sky that had been splashed with thick paint, making the person on the stairs look extremely small.

Moreover, there was something wrong with the Starlight. Song qingxiao looked up, and her eyes seemed to be sucked in by the Starlight. Her divine sense leaked out wildly. It was only for a moment, but it made her break out in cold sweat. She hurriedly cut off the divine sense and forced her head down.

Under the Starlight, the undead at the bottom of the stairs seemed to be more solid than before, and their expressions were more sinister.

The Starlight had appeared right after the three trial-takers had stepped onto the stairs, so it should be related to them.

Her heart was beating faster and faster. At this moment, song qingxiao began to feel the spiritual power in her body leaking out.

This discovery made song Qingxin’s heart sink. The Enlightenment chapter of the ‘God destroying technique’ was originally to draw the spiritual power of heaven and earth for her own use. After her enlightenment realm stabilized, with the support of the ‘God destroying technique’, it was impossible for such a situation of spiritual power leakage to occur.

This place was strange and bizarre. Not only did the spiritual Qi not enter her body, but it also absorbed the spiritual energy in her body.

Immediately, song Qing locked his meridians and slowed down the speed of the leakage of spiritual power. However, it did not stop.

“What’s going on?”

Number one couldn’t help but ask. Song qingxiao didn’t say anything. In fact, she was also full of doubts.

Without a word, she took a few more steps up the stairs. With every step, there was a ‘da da’ sound, and the Starlight above her became brighter.

As the Starlight grew brighter, the ‘undead’ below seemed to be filled with energy, as if it was covered in a layer of light. It became clearer, making number one tremble in fear.

At the bottom of the stairs, the fugitives were already preparing to step onto the ‘undead stairs’. As the first fugitive stepped onto the stairs, another star slowly rose in the darkness above them.

Then, the fifth, the sixth… By the time the group of escapees, number 5, and number 6 had all arrived, the sky was already filled with stars.

When the intertwining Starlight shone on the human body, the gloomy and cold feeling became even more obvious.

The surroundings were as bright as day. Under the Starlight, ghostly figures filled the square as they shuttled around the undead stairs, letting out bone-chilling wails.

The scene under the starry sky should have been as beautiful as a painting, but at this moment, it was as terrifying as hell on earth.

More and more stars appeared, and song qingxiao felt the speed at which her spiritual power was flowing out of her body was faster than before.

No matter how much she tried to stop it, it was of little use. If they were to slow down their speed, everyone’s spiritual energy would be sucked dry by the Starlight before they reached the top of the altar!

Song qingxiao and the other two had already reached the upper middle part of the stairs. There were still about a hundred steps to go.

The higher they went, the slower the speed of the people in the middle became. It was as if their essence, Qi, and spirit had been absorbed by this strange star. The steps of the fugitives seemed to be somewhat tired.

After another 20 to 30 steps, song Qing’s speed did not change, but the fugitives ‘speed obviously slowed down.

As the participants were split into two groups, number five and number six kept a distance from song qingxiao and the others in order to guard the group in the middle..
