"Let me out! I can help you heal your injuries!" Ricky frantically instructed Queenie with a worried frown
etched deeply on his face.
He could tell from her aura that she was seriously hurt.
As soon as Queenie heard Ricky's voice, she followed his instructions with no hesitation. She knew
that she needed help at that moment, and she didn't want to waste more time arguing. That sword was
powerful, indeed, but the strong impact also caused a lot of damage to her.
"What's the matter with you?" Ricky asked the moment he stepped out. Simultaneously, he burst out
the Life and Death Fire and took life energy from the Life and Death Zone to help Queenie recuperate.
"I comprehended the Omnipotent Skill just now from the fusion of the blood of devils and humans.
However, I haven't fully mastered it yet. Therefore, every time I use it, it causes damage to my heart,"
she explained fitfully between shallow, pained breaths.
"Worse still, it will even consume my lifespan."
"Okay, I get it now..." Ricky responded with a nod, and then he continued to heal her injuries.
"Life Wings!" The next moment, he burst out the Omnipotent Skill related to life and condensed several
small Life Wings in his palm, which burned with the Life and Death Fire and entered Queenie's heart.
This definitely did not bode well for Queenie. Undoubtedly, her injury could negatively affect the trial
she was currently undergoing.
Therefore, Ricky didn't hide his real strength, and he proceeded to use all his Omnipotent Skills to help
her recover.
With the strength of his Life Wings and Life and Death Fire, Queenie recovered quickly.
"The life energy is tremendous!" The more that Ricky healed her and showed his real strength, the
more shocked Queenie became. She watched in astonishment, as he rapidly restored her physical
strength. She even had a feeling that the life energy contained in Ricky's body could have saved her
even if she were dead.
At that moment, she understood the reason why Ricky was so powerful.
With this kind of capability in recovery, it was like he could heal himself infinitely. If so, who could
possibly kill him? How could he not be so powerful?
"Thank you so much!" Once again, she could only thank Ricky after he had saved her life.
Without the help of his capability in recovery, she would have ended up hiding inside the spiritual space
tool, and in doing so, she would have no chance to obtain the grand humanoid evil tree.
If only to herself, Queenie had to admit that bringing Ricky into the ancestral land of human devils was
the wisest decision she could have made.
"Then I accept your gratitude, ha-ha!" Ricky grinned.
Hearing his words, Queenie just rolled her eyes at him and tried to absorb the life energy to recover as
quickly as possible. But it would take time before she could fully recover. After all, this was the after-
effect of her power's explosion, so Ricky could not heal her instantly.
However, at this time, the space in the surroundings suddenly transformed. The vines stopped
attacking and weaved together to form five huge stairs that rose higher than their eyes could see.
Far away, they could make out the shape of what had to be a giant exit at the end of the stairs.
"So for this test, you have to go through these five stairs made of vines?" Ricky murmured after
witnessing the scene. His intuition told him that it would not be easy to pass through these five stairs.
For now, the stairs looked empty, but he did not doubt that something would happen when they got
close enough to it.
"Wait, Queenie! I don't think you should proceed with this test. Although you've recovered a little, you
still need time to cultivate to recover from the injuries caused by the use of your sword skills," Ricky
said to her in concern and tried to dissuade her from taking this test.
"If I can't get the grand humanoid devil tree, I'd rather die here. I made that decision when I came
here!" Queenie insisted determinedly.
Perhaps, Ricky's rescue touched something inside her this time. Her attitude changed and she stopped
being so arrogant.
"In that case, I won't persuade you to change your mind. But still, life is precious and should be valued,
so even if you are in trouble, I don't think you should seek death when you fail," Ricky replied.
Then, he stepped back and let Queenie pass, as she stepped onto the first stair.
Bang! Suddenly, strong power came from both ends of the stairs. One was the continent spirit while the
other was evil spirit.
These two kinds of power turned into vines and entered Queenie's body in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, Queenie did try to fight back. In fact, the two kinds of power were too much for her
to resist.
Ricky saw what happened, and he immediately burst out his Golden Spirit Eyes. He wanted to see
what the five stairs were designed to test.
And with the Golden Spirit Eyes, he determined that the two kinds of power were intertwining and
colliding with each other in every inch of her body. They were attacking her from the inside like poison.
Under this strain, Queenie felt endless pain and couldn't summon the strength to fight back.
These two kinds of power, in particular, were opposite to each other. Even though she, as a human
devil, was familiar with these two forces, she had to suffer much more pain than the impact of any other
two forces.
However, Ricky also noticed that despite the influence of these two kinds of power, her body seemed
like it was regaining its strength.
"I know! These five stairs should test Queenie's perseverance and limits!" Now that Ricky recognized it,
he seemed to relax a little. He continued, "If she can pass this test, her body will be greatly improved."
"Fortunately, it's a test of perseverance, so the injuries she suffers will not affect the results of her trial,"
added the Dragon Intent Grass. "But I wonder, will she persevere and reach the fifth stair?" it
continued. At once, Ricky nodded with certainty.
"She will. I believe her!" After that, Queenie easily passed the first stair.
She had more trouble when she reached the second stair because it felt so close to the limits of what
she could suffer. Queenie gritted her teeth against the endless pain, and she finally passed the second
stair.
On the third stair, she had reached her limits, so she went through this stair at the last gasp.
"Black Devil Ancestor! Heavenly Ice Sage!"
At this time, two drops of blood essence came out from between her eyebrows, and two giant figures
directly appeared behind her. One was the queen of the Black Devil, and the other was the saintess of
heavenly ice.
Boom! The two figures emerged fully and absorbed the pure power in that area. They then poured it
into Queenie's body, and after a short moment, she recovered to her peak state.
"She merged the blood essence with her Omnipotent Skill to recover in an instant!" Ricky murmured.
There was no doubt that Queenie was ready to risk her life at that moment.
"Good. After this, she must exceed her limits twice. She should not collapse from it before she passes
the test," remarked the Dragon Intent Grass.
"That would be as difficult as summoning and breaking through a four-colored Thunderstroke Doom!"
"Ricky, you are not allowed to interfere with whatever happens in the next two stairs! As long as I am
not dead, you can't intervene. This is my determination!" Queenie said to Ricky in a very serious tone,
"If you dare to interrupt me, it means that you don't respect the will of martial arts!"
Ricky was shocked speechless by the fire burning in her eyes and her brave attitude. He could tell she
would not take no for an answer, so he just nodded blankly.
He once again felt the strength of Queenie's determination—her desire for martial arts and the grand
humanoid devil tree, and her determination to lead the rise of human devils.
"Don't worry. I have been in the same situation before, and I can understand what you are feeling right
now. I know what kind of determination it is, and I respect it. If you die, I will leave with your corpse,"
Ricky responded heavily.
"Thank you," she answered with a soft sight. "If I succeed this time, I will do as I promised. I will do
three favors for you." Queenie smiled at Ricky confidently, and then, without any hesitation, she
stepped onto the fourth stair.
Boom! Immediately, the momentum on the fourth stair swept up.
