An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

"A test of mindset and willpower?"

Lu Xueyao murmured to herself.

In fact, since she awakened in this strange world and switched to cultivating the Eternal Night Demon Codex and the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, her strength has increased dramatically with each breakthrough.

However, due to a lack of tempering through life and death, her control over power relied more or less on the guidance and protection of her brother Lu Li in her sea of ​​consciousness.

And this time...

Looking at the steps before her, Lu Xueyao made a firm decision in her heart—she would rely on her own true strength to withstand the mental and emotional torment of the ninety-nine levels, and would never again depend on her brother Lu Li's power!

She wanted to prove that she, Lu Xueyao, was worthy of this peerless chaotic body, and even more worthy of being the sister of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Lu Li's divine sense projection, which was originally prepared to use his double pupils to forcibly see through the flaws in the staircase illusion for his sister, was interrupted by Lu Xueyao's almost resolute and unwavering will.

A hint of relief and approval flashed in Lu Li's double pupils. He slowly withdrew the light from his double pupils, and his divine sense once again disappeared into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness. He transmitted his voice without leaving a trace: "Xue Yao, today I will watch you ascend to the heavens alone from within my sea of ​​consciousness. Go, and let this world witness your own Dao heart."

"Thank you, brother!"

With Lu Li's approval, Lu Xueyao felt a surge of pride.

Her white dress fluttered in the starlight, and without the slightest hesitation, she took a steady step and stepped onto the first white jade staircase!

"Wow!"

The moment Lu Xueyao stepped onto the first step, she felt a sudden jolt in her mind, and a faint, invisible mental pressure, similar to several times the gravity on Earth, instantly descended upon her shoulders.

"That's all there is to it."

Lu Xueyao's expression was cold and aloof. The vast magical power within her body, which possessed nine levels of supernatural abilities and had opened up a total of 365 acupoints, was spontaneously activated at this moment.

A chaotic aura of gold and silver danced across her skin, instantly dissipating the faint pressure.

She began to accelerate, her figure transforming into a white blur as she rapidly climbed upwards.

Second floor... tenth floor... thirtieth floor!

In just a few dozen seconds, Lu Xueyao had already crossed the first thirty steps with unstoppable momentum.

Upon reaching the thirtieth step, the weight and mental pressure descending upon her increased more than tenfold, like an invisible mountain pressing down on her shoulders, making her breathing heavy.

Lu Xueyao remained expressionless, her spine ramrod straight. The acupoints within her body resonated, and her fully formed Chaotic Body displayed its terrifying inclusiveness and power. Every step she took was steady, forcefully suppressing the pressure beneath her feet.

The fortieth floor...the forty-ninth floor!

The moment Lu Xueyao's jade-like feet finally stood firmly on the fiftieth step!

"Splash—"

The once brilliant starry sky around us suddenly twisted and changed wildly, like a faded painting!

"Xueyao...you unwanted wild child...your brother doesn't want you anymore..."

"They're all dead... the headmistress is dead, everyone in the orphanage is dead... You're the one who killed them all!"

A series of shrill, cacophonous sounds, filled with endless resentment, coldness, and despair, suddenly erupted wildly in the depths of Lu Xueyao's mind like a volcanic eruption!

In an instant, Lu Xueyao's vision was filled with a raging inferno and the corpses of countless orphanage companions with their pale hands reaching out to claim her life.

Torn by such terrifying inner demons, Lu Xueyao's delicate body trembled violently a few times, her face turned deathly pale in an instant, and even fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"These...are all fake..."

Lu Xueyao bit her red lips tightly, desperately trying to wake herself up.

But the fear and loneliness that originated from the depths of his soul were like maggots clinging to his bones, impossible to dispel with the magic power within his body.

As the chaotic aura emanating from her body began to dim, her mind was on the verge of collapse.

At this critical moment!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through Lu Xueyao's mind.

"Inner demons? Fear? Obsession?"

"I even confronted and resisted the whispers of the evil god at the S-class evil god's altar!"

"With just these low-level demonic rules of the Tower of Babel, how dare they test my Dao heart?"

I've figured that out.

Lu Xueyao's previously wavering gaze instantly became colder and more resolute than the Nine Heavens Profound Iron!

She made no effort to avoid or suppress the screams and inner demons in her mind.

instead.

At this moment, Lu Xueyao deliberately closed her eyes within her divine consciousness, and tried her best to recall, simulate, and visualize the deepest, most vast, and deconstruction-filled high-dimensional [Evil God's Whispers] that she had heard at the Evil God's altar!

"Hehe... Haha... Don't look directly at me... Heed the summons..."

As Lu Xueyao actively visualized and materialized the terrifying, evil god's ravings in her mind.

A terrifying pollution, completely above the rules of the Tower of Babel and filled with high-dimensional destruction and madness, instantly exploded in her sea of ​​consciousness!

Faced with this evil god's ravings that even the Great Emperor had to be wary of, the low-level "orphanage inner demon illusion" that was originally tearing Lu Xueyao's soul apart and was derived from the rules of the Tower of Babel stopped for a fraction of a second after coming into contact with the evil god's ravings.

It's like encountering ice and snow under the scorching sun, or a spider web covered in nuclear bombs.

In an instant, a series of desperate cries were emitted, as the pollution from this higher dimension was forcibly shattered and completely obliterated!

Fight fire with fire! Use a higher level of terror to forcefully crush a lower level of illusion!

"boom!"

Lu Xueyao's vision cleared instantly. The raging fire and countless pale corpses shattered like bubbles. The fear and despair that had been entangled in her heart and tormenting her soul were also completely shattered and dissipated by the blood and qi in her body at this moment!

Her eyes became more profound than before, subtly revealing a composure and wisdom honed through countless trials.

"break!"

Lu Xueyao gave a cold shout.

Having overcome the biggest obstacle, the rest of the journey was no longer in doubt for her.

The sixtieth floor...the seventieth floor...the eightieth floor!

As she climbed, the gravity on the steps surged to a terrifying level, enough to crush even an ordinary A-grade monster to death.

But Lu Xueyao, dressed in a white dress, walked steadily, and with each step she took, a beautiful ripple emanated from the white jade steps, interwoven with chaotic magic.
