Chapter 4131

Author: Celestial Clouds
The mounting pressure was truly terrifying. For the average person, ascending these steps with ease was anything but simple.

By now, the two experts had reached the 100th step, both frowning. Even at this height, they still hadn’t reached the end, and they wondered how many more steps were ahead of them.

One expert, growing frustrated, muttered, "This can't be right. There might not be that many steps left. We’re probably just too tense!"

The other expert gave a slight smile. "You might be right. No need to overthink it. Let’s just keep going."

With great difficulty, the two pressed on, moving step by step. Meanwhile, the rest of the group below was advancing frantically, but it became clear that those who were weaker couldn’t make much more progress. They seemed stuck, endlessly climbing without purpose.

Unable to ascend any higher, they had no idea what would happen next. Perhaps they’d have to wait a month to be teleported out. As for those still capable of moving upward, they

    As Adrian pulled Tyron up the stairs, a terrifying force rippled through the latter. The pressure on Adrian was immense, and Tyron felt deeply uncomfortable and embarrassed."Adrian, aren’t you bearing double the gravity by doing this? Can you handle it?" Tyron asked, his voice filled with guilt. He never imagined he'd be relying on Adrian like this, and the thought filled him with shame. Adrian was enduring far more pressure than he was, which felt unfair.Adrian smiled calmly. "Don’t worry. You came with me, so I’m responsible for getting you out. As long as I have life, so do you."A wave of emotion washed over Tyron. With a friend like Adrian, there was not much more he could ask for. Even if it meant facing death, it wouldn’t matter.Looking at Adrian, Tyron felt a surge of admiration. Adrian was so powerful, yet Tyron felt helpless in comparison. The guilt weighed heavily on him.Below, the crowd was in shock."Oh my! Adrian is truly a peerless genius! He’s dragging someone

    The scene was utterly shocking. What had Adrian meant by his confident words?Suddenly, Adrian's entire body glowed with a golden light that spread to Tyron and filled the space around them. Their speed increased again. In a short time, they reached the 23rd step, yet Adrian showed no signs of strain. He remained as powerful as ever. But just then, a terrifying force descended from the air above. Adrian's expression became grim, and Tyron was equally stunned. Under the immense gravity, Tyron felt as insignificant as an ant.Boom!The crushing gravity tore through the air, shattering everything in its path, leaving the onlookers in awe.Swoosh!Ahead of them, one of the Astrals sneered. "Do you really think you can defy the heavens? You're not qualified to ascend this cloud staircase. You're overestimating yourself!" he mocked.Adrian's eyes flashed with determination and anger. "I don’t need anyone to tell me how to handle my affairs." His speed then surged, and he shot into th

    Judging from Adrian’s words, it was clear he wasn’t just making a small move. Suddenly, a terrifying force surged from him, flooding the air above.In an instant, this immense power swept Tyron along with Adrian as they shot upward at an astonishing speed. Tyron was stunned, fear creeping into his voice. “Adrian! The force of the cloud steps must have increased by a hundredfold!”Ascending like this was incredibly dangerous, and Tyron’s face paled as he realized Adrian’s plan. Adrian intended to leap directly to the 130th step, aiming for the reward waiting there. However, the power at that height was overwhelming. Forcing their way up like this could easily result in death, or worse, they could be thrown from the staircase altogether. During the fall, the crushing gravity of the void would remain, almost ensuring a fatal outcome. Many who had fallen before had ended up gravely injured, and Adrian surely knew this. Yet, he pressed on, undeterred, as if even the worst-case scenario di

    Both men were talented, and Tyron knew that showing even the slightest fear would mean he was unworthy of standing beside Adrian.Adrian glowed with a radiant golden light, and within it, a faint trace of azure shimmered. The golden aura swirled above his head before gradually merging into his flesh and blood, leaving everyone watching in shock. Nobody would’ve imagined that a genius like Adrian possessed such a secret technique.This was no ordinary skill. If Adrian survived, he was destined to become a Supreme Master of his generation. The man before them embodied that potential.Despite their awe, the crowd remained skeptical. The gravity here was a thousand, even ten thousand times stronger than normal. An ordinary person would have been crushed instantly. No matter how talented Adrian was, it seemed impossible for him to ascend these steps so easily.Just as these thoughts filled their minds, Adrian suddenly sneered. “Haha! No matter how strong these cloud steps are, they won’

    The scene left everyone stunned, wondering what had just happened. The azure light had entered Adrian, leaving the onlookers confused.“What is that azure light? Why isn’t it golden? The golden light is supposed to enhance strength. So what does the azure light do?” The crowd was alarmed.It seemed the reward on the 130th cloud step was not what they had expected. Even the two Astrals who had ascended were caught off guard. They found it odd because if the rewards were the same, there wouldn’t be any issue. But Adrian appeared to have received something different.One of the Astrals sneered. “He probably got a weaker reward compared. It might only boost his strength a little.”“He must've triggered a rule of the cloud steps, which made the reward weaker,” the expert mocked.Hearing this, the other experts quickly agreed.“That’s right, that must be it. He’s so arrogant. What makes him think he deserves the golden reward?” Their words were filled with scorn.Some of the onlookers

    Adrian heard the murmurs around him, but to him, they were nothing more than the ramblings of fools. They didn’t understand the situation and were simply envious. Their opinions didn’t matter to him.Opening his eyes, he smiled at Tyron and said, "Don’t worry. I’m perfectly fine."Tyron, however, felt even more guilt, convinced that Adrian was just putting on a brave face. He believed Adrian's strength hadn’t increased much. In truth, the azure light had greatly enhanced Adrian’s physical power to a level that he could now control, but these changes were subtle. They were undetectable unless Adrian chose to release his aura.“Adrian, I’ve caused you trouble,” Tyron said earnestly. “I can never repay you. If you ever need anything, whether it’s climbing a mountain of swords or crossing a sea of fire, I’ll do it without hesitation.”Adrian was taken aback by Tyron's vow. It felt a bit awkward, and he didn’ know what Tyron was thinking. He wouldn’t want Tyron to go to such extremes.

    The two Astrals glared at Adrian, their bodies radiating power in an attempt to intimidate him.Adrian’s expression darkened, his eyes filled with cold, boundless killing intent. The onlookers grew anxious, sensing the danger looming over him.Whoosh, whoosh!The air erupted with terrifying force, signaling that the Astrals were about to strike.Adrian’s expression hardened. These men were truly courting death. He hadn’t expected them to go this far, displaying such ruthless hostility.“Hmph! Bullying your junior, are you? Looks like I’ll have to teach you a lesson,” Adrian growled, unleashing his formidable strength, instantly countering the powerful forces directed at him.“What? How is this possible?” The Astrals were shocked. Their power wasn’t ordinary, and for Adrian to withstand it was impressive.Adrian’s eyes blazed with fury and determination.Rumble!A terrifying explosion of power echoed, causing the ground to tremble.“I’ll help you, Adrian!” Tyron shouted, his f

    At this moment, Adrian’s gaze was razor-sharp. He was surrounded by a surge of earthy yellow light, erupting like a massive mountain. His eyes radiated terrifying power, and his aura had transformed dramatically. The onlookers felt an inexplicable dread, and even Tyron sensed the immense power emanating from Adrian.“Brace yourself, Tyron!” Adrian roared, and together they surged into the air.Rumble, rumble…Adrian advanced another two steps up the cloud steps, leaving the crowd horrified. Even the Astrals were stunned, unable to comprehend the extent of Adrian's strength. How was he managing this?The faces of the Astrals turned ashen. Their previous attacks seemed to have little effect on Adrian. They had unleashed their full power, yet Adrian remained unaffected, which was incredibly humiliating. It was clear that Adrian’s physical strength was so overwhelming it couldn’t be suppressed.“Forget about these ants! Let’s charge forward!” one Astral said coldly, urging the other t

    The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

    The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
