Fighting the Pressure

Alex felt as though the weight of the entire world was on his shoulders. In reality, the weight was closer to 3 thousand tons, but he was at his capacity and didn't think he could continue any further.

He looked ahead of him and barely anyone was there any longer. Only a few cultivators still struggled ahead, while the majority of them already gave up.

Alex was halfway in between 13 thousand and 14 thousand steps, with a third of the way still up ahead of him. Alas, this was the most he could go.

He could continue on much longer, but only if he dared to use his body to ignore the aura pressuring him so much.

Alex did not dare to do so at the moment. It wasn't just to hide what his body could do from others. It was also so he didn't feel a moment of relief. The moment he stopped struggling and the weight returned, he knew he was going to get folded onto the ground.
