Tower of Heaven

Fifty kilometers turned into a hundred kilometers and Atlas' entire body was vibrating.

He felt like with every step he took, he fell through the floor a little further. He was merging with the Underworld and becoming a part of the soil.

It felt like there was mud all around him, keeping him from moving at his full potential.

When the first hundred kilometers passed, the level of torture increased dramatically.

Atlas still had his mind. His body was in severe pain, but perhaps the pain was so severe that it became ignorable.

The trial accounted for his adaptation. It accounted for the fact that he was a cultivator with genuine potential.

If anything, the very first part of the pathway could be considered a test to see if he could withstand what came next.

Because he was done walking. His path was no longer so straightforward.
