A Man Like None Other

Chapter 4204 Where Is This

After speaking, Jared followed Wyatt up the stone steps.

As soon as they stepped onto the stone steps, the pair instantly felt an overwhelming pressure. Their bodies, previously light, felt heavy in an instant.

Jared and Wyatt exchanged glances before continuing their ascend.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

The stone steps were entirely illusory, and stepping on them felt like stepping into thin air.

Moreover, they had to endure the immense pressure.

The pressure and illusory steps were enough to drive a person to the brink of collapse.

It was as if all the strength in one's body could find no place to be released.

After about a dozen steps, Wyatt could no longer hold on. His body suddenly gave way, and he instantly fell off the stone steps.

Upon seeing Wyatt's fall, everyone hastily rushed over to him and helped him up. "President Chance!"

Wyatt panted heavily. "This is too difficult. If I only needed to deal with the heaven and earth pressure, I could withstand it for a while. However, with no ground beneath my feet, I can't muster any strength." Wyatt's words deterred many eager alchemists from attempting the ascension.

After all, if even Wyatt couldn't make it, they thought there was no point in trying.

After casting a glance at Wyatt, Jared continued his upward climb.

Although the heaven and earth pressure was immense, Jared's physical body managed to withstand it all. Jared only stopped after traversing thousands of stone steps.

At that moment, the stone steps in front of Jared had become blurry, as if the entire Cauldron Peak had fused with the sky.

Jared couldn't tell whether he was standing atop Cauldron Peak or hovering in mid-air.

Swiftly, a streak of golden light descended, enveloping Jared entirely.

Jared radiated a golden light, appearing like an immortal and causing everyone to look up in awe.

"Mr. Chance succeeded! He successfully reached the summit!" Upon seeing the situation, Sigurd began to shout out loud in elation.

"Mr. Chance had truly reached the peak of the mountain. Could it be that he discovered the legacy of Medicine God?" Gazing at the sky filled with golden light, Wyatt was also exhilarated.

At that moment, those who were still halfway up the mountain couldn't help but instinctively look in the direction of the mountain peak.

Dylan looked up at the mountain peak, expressing his surprise. "Waylon, has someone reached the mountaintop and discovered the legacy of Medicine God?"

"Most likely. We need to hurry up." Waylon's brows slightly furrowed as he picked up his pace.

At that moment, Thaddeus and the others halted in their tracks, staring blankly at the sudden burst of golden light that appeared.

"President Surrey, what's going on? Has someone already reached the cave?" Ernesto asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I'm not sure either, but there's definitely a reason for that golden glow to appear on the mountaintop. We need to hurry and check it out." After finishing his words, Thaddeus instantly quickened his pace. As the golden glow gradually faded, so did Jared's figure.

At that moment, Wyatt and Viola, among others, were all left utterly dumbfounded.

"Where's Jared?"

"Where did Mr. Chance go?"

"Why did he suddenly disappear?"

Everyone wore expressions of confusion, frantically searching for any sign of Jared to no avail.

At that moment, Jared found himself enveloped in complete darkness, unable to see anything around him. The only thing visible were the stone steps appearing beneath his feet, one after another. However, the stone steps did not lead upward but extended downward. Even Jared himself had no idea where these stairs were leading to.

"Where is this?" Jared was momentarily dumbfounded.

He couldn't tell where the stone steps led as everything was engulfed in total darkness.

It was as though the path led straight to hell.

After calming his mind, Jared took steady steps, descending along the stone staircase.

Jared himself wasn't sure how long he had been walking. It wasn't until he felt his feet touch the ground that he realized the stone steps in front of him had disappeared.

The surroundings began to glow with a vague brightness, and then a golden figure slowly emerged, its back turned to him.
