Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Survive and Come Out Alive!
"Welcome to the final trial, mortals! Here you will either gain something or lose everything!" Hearing the commanding and booming sound, everyone except one particular boy looked at the devastatingly beautiful woman floating in the air.
The exception was Noah, who was looking at the only thing that interested him in the room, the white orb.
As Noah was trying to look through the orb, he noticed that, with his restrained prowess, he was unable to see through its mysteries.
Just as he was about to look further, he sensed that someone was looking at him and turned to look in that direction. It was the same woman who was responsible for bringing them here.
Noah sensed that even though she had looked away, her soul sense was locked on his body, trying to see through him. He thought she would be suspicious seeing the number of participants in the room because only around ten of the disciples from them were sent to her while the rest were evacuated outside the pagoda.
But it appeared that his worries were unfounded, as the woman seemed to have set their teleportation location somewhere else.
'She must have done that to not make any of us suspicious about why the people who lost the trial were still in this place. This means she also doesn't know the number of people that are in that place.'
As the woman looked for signs of abnormality in Noah, he was doing the same. Noah looked at her with his own, superior soul sense, in an attempt to gauge her power and think of a way to deal with her.
Besides Noah, every guy, including Yuan Ming, seemed entranced by her beauty; her bloody red eyes gave them a sense of pressure and detachment.
"As you must have noticed, this domain is no ordinary one given the quality of rewards you have received till now. " She infused her voice with a little bit of energy to make the people who were still looking at her like idiots with their disgusting gazes come out of their reverie.
"This Place is made by me!" Her voice was laced with unfathomable pride as she continued to play along with her lies.
"You will be participating in the last trial for my legacy."
"An immortal Legacy!" She put more weight on her identity as an immortal while even going as far as releasing a strand of her pressure.
She wanted to use her power as a way to set the authority so that no one had any funny ideas. Everyone except Noah buckled their knees, feeling the pressure mounting on their backs. Noah, on the other hand, looked at the woman unfazed.
'An immortal?!?!' These two words were enough to make everyone's heart tremble. Who hadn't heard about the legendary immortals.., but they all thought it was a legend.
No one had ever expected to see one here, moreover, in this state, almost at the end of her life.
All those who had any kind of thoughts toward the woman were replaced by fear!
"What's your name, mortal!" The surprise could be heard in her voice, it was clear that when even the girl with a mysterious bloodline was unable to withstand her pressure, how could the boy who did not seem out of the ordinary do it like it did not mean anything?
She would have increased her pressure if it did not mean that she would have to lose her soul strength.
Noah, who was asked the question, sensed the hidden negative intentions being directed at her.
"Noah" Hearing the plain tone in his reply, the mysterious woman narrowed her eyes before floating in his direction. In an instant, she was in front of the masked.
~Smack!~

A sound of slap echoed in the room, followed by an eerie silence.
Everyone was surprised to see the woman trying to touch the necklace on Noah to take a look at it. she could sense a strange Dao rhythm coming from it, but no one could have expected that Noah would slap her hand away without any hesitation.
"What do you think you are doing?!" This was the time woman was annoyed for real; she did not think that a puny mortal would have the gals to smack her 'divine hands' away.
"It's better to start the trial than be interested in my possessions." Noah would not have even bothered to tell her his name had he not been buying time. The reason for that was the pagoda itself. Noah was once again trying to see if he could interact and see if he could override her temporary control over the pagoda.
'Since you want to die this much, I will fulfill your wishes!' enraged the woman snapped her finger, activating the seals on the ground.
Everyone was able to see the seal on the ground, and the first thought that came to their mind was to back away.
Yuan Ming suddenly felt his sword trembling on his back. he did not know the reason, but it was certain it was not anything good. He immediately held it in his hands, looking at the woman vigilantly.
He was not the only one who was starting to doubt the woman's intention; Jiang Shi and Ruo'er could tell something was wrong with the whole place and the woman.
Their senses were screaming at them to run away from their place but they found themselves unable to move
Noah had already seen the amateurish seal on the ground the moment he landed on the ground, how could he not see it when someone placed such an ugly thing in his face? He was sure that even the worst seals he had made did not have this trashy connection and resonance.
He could right away see that the formation had many functions namely, inducing a coma on everyone inside it while sucking the soul out of them. Then something clicked in Noah's mind; he appeared to have remembered seeing something like this before.
"The trial is simple!" her cold, sinister voice echoed in the room. Before anyone had the time to react to her words, transparent walls appeared from the edges of the formation circles and rose to the sky, trapping everyone inside of it.
"Survive and Come out Alive!"
