Unlike Yuan Ming, who advanced with fierce momentum, Wu Yu and the Giant Tree King were having an exceptionally difficult time.

By the time they reached around the eight hundred fiftieth step, they were already struggling to cope and had no choice but to stop and rest.

Wu Yu raised her head and watched Yuan Ming's receding back, unable to stop herself from murmuring, "Where exactly is his limit?"

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from below.

Wu Yu turned to look and saw Su Wu rapidly catching up.

He moved at astonishing speed and soon overtook Wu Yu and the Giant Tree King.

On the narrow staircase, Wu Yu and the Giant Tree King hurriedly dodged to either side, clearing the way.

Su Wu passed between them expressionlessly and continued climbing toward the summit without even sparing either of them a glance.

At this moment, his eyes clearly held only Yuan Ming, who was still climbing relentlessly from a position near the thousandth step.

"Who is this person? His speed up the stairs is actually faster than Wan Tianren's!" Wu Yu's gaze flickered slightly as curiosity stirred within her regarding Su Wu's strength and identity.

"Your Majesty, we need to speed up as well. Judging by Wan Tianren's and that black-robed young man's pace, they will probably reach the top very soon. If the trial ends then, all our previous efforts will have gone to waste. We must reach the nine hundredth step and obtain that thing before then!" the Giant Tree King transmitted to Wu Yu, his tone filled with anxiety.

"I know, but the resistance of these stairs is far beyond what we anticipated. Unless we use the Demon Ancestor's Origin Power, there is no way we can increase our speed," Wu Yu replied
