Storm Heavens [4]

"Hahaha! Finally, I can escape this hellhole!" A genius shouted. His robes held the Sun and Moon Sect's emblem.

He rushed to the stairway and began climbing. His foot stepped on the first stair, and instantly, he felt a current of lightning coursing through his body. A light pressure enveloped him, but it was still negligible at the first step.

Soon, he proceeded to the second step. Seeing him safely climb, the other geniuses also rushed to the steps and began their ascent.

5 steps…10 steps…15 steps…

The geniuses climbed slowly but steadily. The foremost of them stood at the 15th step already. However, they found that as they climbed, it became harder and harder to continue.

An all-encompassing pressure weighed on them externally and lightning attacked them internally. It was a cohesive test of both talent and bodily strength.
