Next, Adrian and Tyron climbed another step on the staircase. Suddenly, a wave of crushing gravity hit them. Adrian spat out blood and turned pale.“Haha! I bet that brat won’t make it. Looks like he’ll die on this staircase before we even have to lift a finger,” one of the Astrals said coldly.The other sneered. “Exactly! At this rate, he’s doomed. Watching a genius like him perish right before our eyes will be a real treat.”Their voices were filled with malice, clearly enjoying Adrian’s suffering. They were thrilled by the thought of Adrian being crushed by the staircase’s pressure.Despite the terrifying force, Adrian showed no sign of giving up. Tyron, watching from the side, was stunned. He realized that with someone like Adrian, his only option was to follow and push forward.“Adrian, can you hold on? If not, let me take the lead and shield you from this gravity,” Tyron said, genuinely concerned about Adrian’s condition. The situation was clearly dire, and continuing could
It was clear Adrian was planning something.“Alright. Since you can do this, trust me. Focus all your power on your sword. When I give the signal, strike without hesitation,” Adrian instructed confidently.Tyron understood immediately. It was clear that Adrian was outlining their next move. His expression turned serious. With the decision made, all that remained was to act.Whoosh!Power surged through Adrian as if he had abandoned all restraint. In an instant, he unleashed a punch that shattered the gravity’s grip. He took Tyron with him and continued climbing, effortlessly reaching the 156th step in a single bound.They were now just two steps away from the 158th step.“He’s so strong!” The crowd below gasped in awe at Adrian’s sudden display of extraordinary strength.The Astrals ahead, however, were filled with icy killing intent. Adrian’s terrifying talent only hardened their resolve to eliminate him. For them, nothing was more important than taking Adrian down. Yet, they r
Tyron's body tensed. He knew he had to keep pace with Adrian now, as they were on the brink of confronting the powerful Astrals. It would be incredibly challenging for Adrian to face them alone, so Tyron understood he needed to assist.Helping Adrian was also helping himself. They needed to overcome the suppression of these formidable Astrals, who would certainly try to prevent anyone from surpassing them. The only way to break through was to defeat them. Though Tyron didn’t fully understand Adrian’s plan, he had no choice but to trust him.“Hmph! Ignorant boy, you’re about to die!” one of the Astrals shouted, his eyes blazing with anger.Adrian suddenly stepped into the air, aiming for the 158th cloud step. The crowd below tensed, anticipating the impending clash. The mere thought of it sent chills down their spines.Boom!A terrifying force erupted in the air as if shattering everything in its path. Adrian ascended, enduring the crushing weight of tens of thousands of pounds. In
A white-haired elder below exclaimed, “He’s no ordinary man! He’s taking the initiative to challenge these two powerful Astrals. He’s truly extraordinary!”The crowd was puzzled, unsure of the significance of Adrian's bold move. Could this actually be advantageous?“Hmph! He’s just courting death. How could a Nascent possibly challenge Astrals?” a young man retorted indignantly.The crowd fell silent. The young man had a point. Adrian seemed to be overestimating himself. If things continued this way, it could end badly for him.“Not necessarily,” the elder in white countered quickly. “They’re enduring ten times the gravity on the cloud steps. If the Astrals make a move, the pressure will double.”The crowd was stunned by this revelation. If the elder was correct, the outcome of the battle was uncertain. The onlookers became even more engrossed.Amidst tenfold gravity, Adrian launched an attack at the Astrals, while Tyron clashed with one of the Astrals.A violent explosion of po
Tyron couldn’t believe what was happening. Hadn't Adrian acted at the same time as him? Yet, in just a moment, Adrian had managed to set up a formation. 'He had created it purely through willpower?' Tyron wondered.Tyron was stunned. Setting up such a powerful formation could only be done by a top-tier formation master, and Adrian was clearly exceptional."Okay! Don’t worry, Adrian!" Tyron realized what needed to be done. He would work with Adrian, and their next step was to take down the two injured opponents. It was clear the enemy was headed toward defeat.As Tyron was thinking, Adrian’s eyes filled with killing intent. His strength surged, though it was mixed with the pain caused by the crushing gravity of the void. A weight of 10,000 kilograms was unbearable for most, and even Astrals needed time to adjust.“Hmph! Can't hold on anymore? This is the end for you!” one of the Astrals shouted angrily. The other, who had been struggling earlier, moved slowly. The angry expert seeme
Tyron, skilled in swordsmanship, unleashed his sword intent, which rapidly fused with the surrounding space. He was now capable of annihilating everything in his path. His sword intent surged like a tidal wave, spreading through the void.Rumble...The immense power shattered the air, trembling with intensity.Adrian watched as the two enemies approached, his gaze cold and unwavering. “If you want to come closer, then come,” he said.In an instant, Adrian split into two, creating an identical copy of himself. Now, two Adrians stood before the attackers, both ready to strike with their fists.The onlookers below were stunned. Beads of sweat formed on their foreheads as they watched, imagining the pressure Adrian faced. Facing the combined might of two opponents while enduring 10,000 kilograms of force on the cloud steps was a terrifying feat. No matter how strong Adrian’s physical body was, avoiding being knocked off the ladder seemed almost impossible.Swoosh!Power surged viole
The two attackers, one armed with a sword and the other with a saber, slashed at Adrian with relentless force.Meanwhile, Tyron, filled with fury, disappeared from his original position. In a flash, he reappeared on the cloud steps, leaving the spectators stunned by his sudden movement."What is he up to?" someone murmured, as Tyron's actions took on a mysterious air.To everyone's surprise, Tyron swung his sword.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!In an instant, the sword unleashed a terrifying power, slicing through the air. An explosion echoed through the air, an impressive display of force.As the crowd watched in awe, they couldn't help but wonder what kind of power Tyron would reveal next. Despite Adrian's peril, with two formidable experts attacking him, there was still hope among the onlookers that the pair might somehow turn the tide.Adrian was locked in a fierce struggle, entangled by one of the powerful attackers while the other relentlessly assaulted him. It seemed as though h
The answer to who was the real ant would be revealed with the next strike of the sword. For Tyron, surrender was not an option. He understood the gravity of the situation. If he failed to defeat this powerful opponent, death would be the only outcome for him.Adrian had meticulously planned for this moment, making Tyron the focal point of the formation to unleash his strongest attack. If Tyron failed, it would mean betraying Adrian’s trust. The power in Tyron's hands surged to even greater levels.In an instant, Tyron broke through, reaching the Astral Stage. The spectators watched in astonishment. No one had anticipated the formation’s power would reach such terrifying heights.The Astral fighting Tyron was stunned, unable to believe the force the latter wielded. “This is impossible! This must be an illusion!” he roared, clearly in disbelief.The power required to reach the Astral Stage was immense, and the Astral was shocked and desperately fighting back. The clash of their formi
