"I finally reached the end of the Heavenly Ladder..."
Xu Xuan's physical body had already been pushed beyond its limits. If this continued, sooner or later, the pressure of the golden Heavenly Ladder would crush him!
Xu Xuan let out a soft breath.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, he sucked in a sharp breath. His flesh was actually being torn apart by the pressure, and blood kept pouring from his shoulders.
An intense surge of pain instantly flooded his heart.
Watching his flesh gradually peel outward, Xu Xuan sucked in another sharp breath. Blood slowly trickled down from his shoulders.
Xu Xuan panted heavily, forcing himself to calm down.
Xu Xuan wanted to stand up and keep going. After all, only the last hundred steps remained. As long as he made it through, he would have every right to be proud!
Yet the moment he tried to stand, overwhelming pressure came crashing down, knocking him to the ground.
"Pfft!!"
He involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood, and in all that time, he had barely managed a single step forward.
From here on, every step he passed would subject him to unimaginable agony.
In fact, the pressure on each step was slightly stronger than on the one before, unlike the hundreds of steps below.
"Damn it, I'm so close to the end!!"
Veins bulged on Xu Xuan's forehead as he roared furiously. He forced his hands down against the ground, only then barely managing to steady himself.
"Ding..." "Severe damage to the host's body detected. Automatic recovery in progress..."
Dimly, a voice from the system echoed in his mind, carrying a rare trace of humanity.
Xu Xuan instinctively raised his head, and a hint of a smile instantly spread across his face.
"Thankfully, you have at least a little humanity, system..."
