Chen Lei and his companions also felt tremendous pressure. However, they could still bear the pressure, but the speed became much slower.
Gradually, Chen Lei and his companions climbed the 30,000th, 40,000th, and 50,000th steps.
By the 50,000th step, the pressure is five times greater than before the 10,000th step. Under such tremendous pressure, a steel ingot can be directly pressed into a steel plate.
At this time, Chen Lei saw several figures in front of him, all standing on the steps with great difficulty. It was obvious that these figures were all strong men who had climbed the steps earlier than Chen Lei and his companions. However, when these strong men reached here, their potential had been exhausted and they could no longer move forward.
Chen Lei and his team climbed up step by step and gradually surpassed these strong men.
When these strong men saw the backs of Chen Lei and his companions, their eyes were filled with jealousy. However, they could only be jealous for a moment. Chen Lei and his companions did not take these people seriously at all.
Gradually, Chen Lei and his companions surpassed more and more powerful people, and of course, the pressure they were under also increased.
Finally, Chen Lei understood that these 100,000 steps should be able to test the potential of a climber. The stronger the potential, the higher he can climb; the weaker the potential, the earlier he will stop.
Now, Chen Lei and his team have climbed the 90,000th step, reaching more than 94,000 steps.
At this point, whether it was Chen Lei, Ji Tianwu, Ma Wu, or Jin Yupeng, they were all sweating profusely, and every step forward was extremely difficult.
"No, I can't walk anymore!"
After climbing more than a thousand steps, Ma Wu said while panting, his whole body was wet with sweat, and his mane was dripping with sweat in clumps.
At this time, Jin Yupeng had reached his limit. Looking ahead at the Eternal Holy Temple, which was still more than 4,000 steps away, he showed an unwilling look.
As for Ji Tianwu, he had also reached his limit at this time. His whole body was drenched in sweat, his legs were trembling, and he could not take a single step.
Although Chen Lei was also very tired, he was far from reaching his limit and still had enough energy to continue climbing.
"Try again, I don't want you to fall behind." Chen Lei said to Ma Wu and others.
Ma Wu nodded, his whole body glowing with milky white divine light, he mobilized all his potential and stepped towards the stairs.
“Plop!”
As soon as Ma Wu stepped onto the step, he was forced to his knees by the huge pressure. His bones made crackling sounds and were almost broken.
Chen Lei took a step forward, lifted Ma Wu up, and retreated to the next step.
"Ouch! It hurts so much." Ma Wu let out a long sigh, then shouted with lingering fear.
After he climbed up that step just now, he immediately lost the ability to move. If he stayed there for a while longer, all the bones in his body would probably turn into bone residue.
Chen Lei frowned. It seemed that Ma Wu and the others had really reached their limit and it was impossible for them to continue climbing.
"Well, you guys rest here. When you recover, wait for me at the foot of the mountain. I will continue to rush towards the temple. Now, it has come to the last moment, and we must not give up." Chen Lei said to Ma Wu, Ji Tianwu and Jin Yupeng.
