This scene starkly reminded Adrian that he had merely cleared the first stage. The staircase before him marked the second stage.The realization stunned everyone—just when they thought it was over, another hundred steps awaited them."Andy, what's going on?" Adrian asked, confused.Andy had entered this stage much earlier, yet he was only at the 10th step.The Holy Son stood on the 15th step, his body seemingly bound and restricted, a far cry from the confident display he had shown in the first stage.Finnian, showing more resilience, had reached the 30th step.Adrian was puzzled by the sight and struggled to understand what was happening.Andy, looking helpless, explained, "Ah, Adrian, I imagine you're wondering why I'm still stuck on the staircase. The old entity within me has been completely suppressed."On this staircase, all external aid—be it seals, spiritual power, or anything else—is forcibly neutralized. No exceptions. Also, everyone is restricted to the Void Stage, wi
To Andy, the challenge of the staircase had become overwhelming.At that moment, he felt as if the oppressive void had drained his will to continue climbing, leaving him on the verge of giving up.Adrian noticed and was slightly surprised. It was clear that this staircase was no ordinary trial—each step forward brought increasingly deadly dangers.Adrian's face darkened with resolve, his killing intent flaring. "Really? So, this staircase is as extraordinary as it seems. In that case, let me test it thoroughly."With that, Adrian charged forward, his speed astonishing, and his movements radiating such killing intent that he seemed to materialize as a daemon god."Hahaha, laughable. Does an ant think it can climb these steps? Can you even handle the next five? An intermediary Void Stage expert who just broke through? What a joke," mocked the Holy Son.Adrian narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold, but he answered with a smirk. "Oh? The Holy Son? To me, you're just a pile of trash."Wit
Adrian took a single step forward, unleashing an almost incomprehensible power.The terror of the moment sent shockwaves rippling through the air.A force descended from the sky, crashing onto Adrian with ferocious speed. He froze momentarily, unable to fully comprehend what was happening.His bones shattered under the immense pressure.Pain and fury surged through him as his expression darkened. His killing intent flared like a raging storm."Break!" he growled.In an instant, Adrian retaliated with a powerful punch. The force emanating from his fist shook the void, shattering the oppressive energy that surrounded him.The crowd watched in stunned silence, their eyes fixed on Adrian. The void, once seemingly invincible, crumbled under the ferocity of his attack. Adrian's sharp gaze burned with indomitable resolve as he sent another wave of energy surging forward.The terrifying force dissipated into the air. Adrian smiled faintly and muttered, "Fine, if death's the price, so b
As soon as Adrian finished speaking, he leaped forward, clearing three steps in a single bound.Below, Andy stood stunned. Adrian's audacity left him speechless.While others climbed step by step, Adrian defied convention, vaulting over multiple steps at once.Andy couldn't help but admire Adrian's remarkable physical resilience.Adrian's strength was beyond comprehension. Even under the relentless pull of gravity, he remained steady, pressing forward.Unbeknownst to Andy, Adrian's body was naturally fortified, absorbing the immense forces with little effect. His physical strength alone could withstand these relentless attacks.A surge of violent energy crashed into Adrian, sending waves of searing pain through his body. The excruciating sensation consumed him."Break!"Adrian gritted his teeth as the overwhelming pressure bore down on him. It felt as though tens of thousands of pounds were hammering his body.The pain was indescribable, yet his expression remained cold and de
In response to the Holy Son's mocking words, Adrian glanced at him.How ridiculous. Did the Holy Son truly think his derision would matter? Did he believe Adrian was incapable?"Is that so?" Adrian retorted coldly, then leaped forward, closing the gap and standing alongside the Holy Son with a single bound.The Holy Son sneered.Adrian attempting to stand shoulder to shoulder with him? Laughable!He felt the gravitational force on Adrian had reached an astonishing 40,000 units, while he was enduring only 30,000 units.If Adrian dared push forward, the force would rise to 60,000 units—a weight even a seasoned body expert would struggle to withstand.One move from the Holy Son, and Adrian would be crushed and thrown off the steps."Adrian, be careful! It's about to reach 60,000 units!" Andy's voice echoed, filled with concern. Adrian's boldness bordered on recklessness.A force of 60,000 units could suppress even the strongest physical experts.The crowd could hardly fathom any
Terrifying forces descended from the void, crashing down on Adrian with devastating power. His entire body was caught in the relentless assault.At that moment, Adrian's bones shattered under the overwhelming weight.The force pressing down on him exceeded 60,000 units, surging to a crushing 70,000 units as if the heavens themselves sought to destroy him.The weight was nearly unbearable, threatening to collapse Adrian.Yet, his face remained cold and resolute as he growled, "Hmph! Killing me won't be that easy."As soon as he finished speaking, Adrian's golden fist shot forward.The punch was lightning-fast, shattering the void with earth-shaking force.To his surprise, the gravitational pressure around him lessened considerably. Adrian's eyes flickered—he hadn't expected gravity to be breakable.His expression grew cold and determined. If gravity could be shattered, he wouldn't hold back. Without hesitation, he threw another punch.The wind from his punches roared, obliterat
The staircase before Adrian exerted a crushing 60,000 units of force on his body. One misstep could mean total annihilation, scattering his soul into nothingness.The scene left everyone stunned, struggling to grasp what was happening.Andy's face twisted in shock, while the Holy Son radiated fury mixed with lethal intent.Terrifying energies churned through the void as Adrian's gaze sharpened in focused surprise.The immense force bore down on him, cracking his bones with resounding snaps.Thunderbolts struck mercilessly, crashing into Adrian's body with relentless force. Yet he stood unyielding, defiant, disbelief etched on his face.The Holy Son sneered. "This time, you're dead. With lightning and gravity combined, your body will be pulverized."Adrian smirked. "Is that so? Let's see who's really courting death!"With explosive power, Adrian launched a devastating strike, shattering the space before him.The thunder's force meant nothing as he pressed forward, unstoppable,
A terrifying burst of power erupted outward.At that instant, Adrian launched a powerful punch, meeting his opponent's fist head-on.The clash generated a shockwave, sending sparks flying in every direction.The Holy Son fixed a cold glare on Adrian and roared, "Brat, let's see how you die this time!"He relished the idea of watching Adrian fall, convinced the moment of his enemy's defeat had finally arrived.He intended to hurl Adrian off the staircase, forcing him into a state of utter despair—a fate worse than death.The pressure crushing down on Adrian far exceeded what the Holy Son himself could withstand.The destructive force around them felt capable of pulverizing a mountain into dust.Yet Adrian remained unfazed. A cold, indifferent smile played on his lips. "Is that so? Do you really think you'll win with such petty tricks?"To Adrian, the Holy Son was a mere nuisance. Without his powerful connections, he wouldn't even warrant a passing glance.Had the Holy Son know
