At that moment, Andy's words revealed just how terrifying the staircase truly was.Adrian's expression showed surprise as he tried to comprehend the situation.What was the nature of this staircase? There seemed to be some mysterious force at play, explaining why both Andy and Finnian were struggling.Andy cautioned, "Adrian, have your men stay at the base for now. Don't let them rush up. The dangers on this staircase aren't trivial. If they ascend recklessly, there's no telling what danger awaits them."If someone triggers those dangers, it could be catastrophic. The staircase is weighed down by crushing gravity, and at random intervals, it strikes with inexplicable force. Their ascent could end in disaster."As Andy spoke, Adrian glanced at Tyler's group and grew serious. "Sir Tyler, stay here for now. Rushing up blindly might lead to unforeseen consequences. Let me ascend first, scout the situation, and see if it's feasible to bring you all up later."Finnian chuckled lightly.
No one expected Adrian to act so recklessly, charging forward as if everything before him was insignificant.However, Andy couldn't condone Adrian's behavior. He was practically inviting disaster. A single misstep could shatter his body and end his life prematurely.Yet Adrian's gaze remained unwavering. He wasn't concerned about the risks. In his mind, as long as he believed in his decision, nothing else mattered.At that moment, the void trembled violently.Everything around seemed caught in a chaotic vibration.To the onlookers, Adrian's reckless charge into the unknown was incomprehensible. But Adrian appeared resolute in his desire to test his limits."I'll be fine. I can handle this," Adrian said calmly.Before Andy could respond, Adrian leapt forward, skipping over the step where Andy stood and hurtling directly into the void above.Tyler stood stunned. He hadn't expected Adrian to act so recklessly, crossing the steps and plunging ahead without hesitation."Adrian, you
This scene stunned Andy. His mind froze as he watched Adrian.Despite being only at the Void Stage, Adrian radiated an unprecedented air of mystery.Even Finnian, observing from above, showed surprise in his gaze."This young man is truly extraordinary. It seems I misjudged him," Finnian remarked as Adrian took another step.His movements were delicate, like walking on thin ice. His body trembled slightly, but his gaze remained unwavering.Tyler and the others below watched in awe.Andy's worry surged, and he wanted to warn Adrian against such reckless behavior. Continuing this way could be fatal, as the pressure would only intensify with each step.Suddenly, a sound sliced through the void.Figures from Sacred Lunaland appeared, led by a young man wielding a sword in his left hand and a fan in his right.With a flick of his fan, he summoned a gust that swept across the area.In the distance, streaks of green light illuminated the sky."So powerful!"More figures descended
Upon closer inspection, the scene left everyone speechless. It was hard to fathom what was unfolding before them.The ground trembled violently beneath a powerful force.Waves of immense energy surged toward the youth in green robes, yet he remained steadfast.Adrian was stunned. As he glanced at the youth, he realized this man was far from ordinary. His aura steadily rose, already nearing the late Void Stage and continuing to grow stronger."What kind of lightning is this? Why are such waves of power rippling through the celestial staircase?" someone asked in shock.Endless bolts of lightning rained down like a relentless storm, seemingly tearing the surroundings apart.The deafening roar echoed as the heavens shook uncontrollably.At that moment, the void seemed entirely consumed by lightning.The youth in green robes fixed his cold gaze on Adrian and sneered. "How dare an ant like you stand in my way?"His icy expression deepened as he locked eyes with Adrian. In the next i
The crowd trembled as the Holy Son's fury became palpable. It was hard to imagine what might unfold next. All eyes fixed on the scene, filled with unease."He's so powerful!""This guy is doomed!"The onlookers turned to Andy, certain he wouldn't survive the impending onslaught.Adrian clenched his fists, ready to intervene.As a friend who had climbed the staircase alongside Andy, how could he stand by and do nothing?A terrifying force erupted, making the void tremble.Just then, a calm yet authoritative voice from higher up on the steps reached Adrian's ears."Don't go down, kid. Relax, he has a trump card."In the next moment, bolts of lightning surged toward Andy, carrying overwhelming power.The Holy Son smirked coldly. "Hah, ants deserve nothing but death."Andy raised his head and sneered. "Ants? Do you even know what you're talking about?"His defiant retort stunned everyone. The crowd couldn't believe their eyes.Was Andy seeking death? How could anyone stand aga
The sheer power radiating from Andy was overwhelming. His strength seemed to rival that of the Holy Son.At that moment, Finnian smirked. "Ha! When this brat goes all out, he's a force to be reckoned with. Don't worry, kid."Adrian's eyes widened slightly in surprise. If that were true, he had clearly underestimated Andy in the past.The Andy before him now radiated immense power. It was hard to believe he had concealed such strength for so long.Suddenly, the void stilled. Both combatants unleashed their power simultaneously, only to retract it almost instantly."Huh? What's going on?" someone asked, bewildered.Another observer scoffed. "Hmph! Shows how ignorant you are. This is a clash between geniuses. The victor's already decided, but now isn't the time to kill."The crowd fell silent, stunned by the revelation. They had assumed something entirely different was happening.Upon closer inspection, some began to grasp the gravity of the situation.Adrian, too, was bewildered
Finnian smirked coldly. "Hmph! Do you seriously intend to eliminate this kid? You clearly lack the dignity of a true powerhouse."At that moment, Finnian appeared to be shielding Adrian, stunning the onlookers.Adrian had clearly offended the Sacred Lunaland group—a reckless mistake, given their fearsome reputation. Crossing them was akin to courting death.A suffocating pressure descended from the void, pressing down on Adrian with unstoppable force.His eyes flashed sharply. In an instant, he unleashed a devastating punch that shattered the void itself.The air cracked open, revealing a massive, gaping rift.Even so, Adrian remained pinned under the Holy Son's overwhelming power.High above, a colossal hand descended toward him.Suddenly, another terrifying force erupted from the void, colliding with the enormous hand. It trembled, its power rippling wildly through the void.Under its oppressive might, Adrian teetered at the edge of the celestial steps, barely holding his gr
Andy wanted to help Adrian, but he had already moved ahead and couldn't turn back.Waves of violent energy rippled through the sky.Adrian radiated an icy chill. If his enemies sought his life, they'd face unyielding vengeance. He refused to be restrained by anyone or anything.Tyler's group watched the scene unfold, their faces a blend of shock and concern. Sacred Lunaland had targeted Adrian from the beginning, making the situation perilous.The Sacred Lunaland members below wore cold expressions, though flickers of unease flashed in their eyes as they stared at Adrian.Meanwhile, others had already begun ascending the celestial steps, their eyes fixed on the treasures hidden in the clouds above.Adrian's gaze hardened. In a sudden burst of power, he unleashed a punch that shattered the resistance in his path, propelling himself upward.He pressed forward, his resolve unwavering, his determination unshakable.He had decided—no one would ever oppress him again.In his world,
