The Limit Peak challenge had reached its nine-hundredth year.

Like Lu Wu back then, the Players had become completely numb, relying only on the obsession in their hearts to keep climbing.

Their consciousness had grown extremely hazy during the climb. They did not even know what they were doing anymore, only mechanically continuing upward.

Lu Wu understood this. After all, when he had climbed Limit Peak, he had been far stronger than the current Players.

Meanwhile, the Surprise Clan members, who had already climbed four-fifths of the way, had reached the most terrifying stretch of illusion challenges.

From this point onward, every section of the path contained an illusion.

When facing the illusion of death, even though the Surprise Clan members kept reminding themselves that it was all fake and that they would not die here, the scene still frightened them until their legs went weak. Their minds constantly echoed with the reminder: This is all real.

Under such torment, the Surprise Clan members finally could not endure any longer.
