Chapter 4784
Author: Celestial Clouds
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

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

    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.

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?

    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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?"
