Chapter 2163: Start Chasing

Matthew stood still, the air around him seemed to have solidified, so heavy that it was suffocating.

He took a deep breath, and the breath slowly moved in his chest, trying to calm his violently beating heart. At the same time, he concentrated on mobilizing all the hidden power in his body, as if he wanted to gather every bit of energy to deal with the upcoming challenge.

At this moment, the originally soft protective aura on his body seemed to be injected with a dose of cardiotonic, and was greatly encouraged, and instantly burst out with a more dazzling and dazzling light.

The light was like a purple lightning, instantly covering his entire body tightly. From a distance, he was like a purple sun hanging high in the sky, exuding an awe-inspiring breath. Wherever the light reached, the surrounding darkness seemed to be forced back a little.

His footsteps began to move slowly upwards, and each step was extremely heavy, but extremely firm.

With the help of Na Luo's pink glow, every step he took was like stepping on the clouds. It only took two breaths to easily cross a step.

Although he knew that this journey was full of hardships and difficulties, he could at least maintain a relatively stable and relatively easy speed of progress, and he still had a relatively optimistic expectation for the future.

However, the situation now is completely different. Every step he took was like an invisible mountain pressing on him, making it difficult for him to move forward.

Every time he lifted his legs, he seemed to want to break free from the heavy weight.

Every time he landed, he seemed to fall into a bottomless quagmire, so heavy that he almost gave up struggling.

Now Matthew actually needs five breaths to try his best to cross to the next step.

Moreover, as he continued to climb up, the time required for each step continued to increase, as if the gravity pressure on the steps was a bottomless pit that could never be filled, ruthlessly devouring his physical strength and tenacious will, and bit by bit wearing away his endurance and determination.

At this moment, he looked up and saw that he was less than two hundred steps away from the skinny old man above.

From below, the distance did not seem far, as if he could easily reach it with a little more effort.

However, Matthew knew in his heart that this seemingly short distance was actually as difficult to cross as a natural moat.

To reach the other party's place, he needed to consume a lot of his magic power and physical strength, which was undoubtedly a severe test of his physical and mental limits.

Fortunately, Matthew was not unprepared.

In the long and arduous walking process before, he had been constantly thinking about how to deal with the increasingly powerful gravity suppression.

Every difficult climb, every painful struggle, became an opportunity for him to think.

He carefully observed the reaction of his body under the action of gravity, feeling the loss of strength and the difficulty of resistance.

After countless attempts and explorations, now, he finally had some ideas in his heart. These ideas were like a ray of light in the darkness. Although weak, they brought him a ray of hope and gave him the courage and motivation to move forward.

Matthew looked up again at the goal that was within reach but out of reach, and the light in his eyes became more determined.

He took a few deep breaths, then slowly exhaled, trying to calm the chaotic breath in his body like surging waves.

After some adjustments, the originally manic breath finally gradually stabilized.

Then, he carefully stretched out one foot slowly and gently landed on the next step.

This action seems simple, but it is extremely difficult for Matthew at this time.

Every step he took seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds.

With Matthew's difficult and slow steps, the purple light emanating from his body became more and more dazzling.

However, every time the mysterious purple light flashed, it would immediately be suppressed by a terrifying gravity.

This gravity was like an unshakable mountain, ruthlessly squeezing the weak purple light.

In this way, Matthew gritted his teeth and climbed up a full twenty steps in a row, panting step by step.

The long and arduous journey and the continuous consumption of mana to maintain the purple light to resist the suppression of gravity caused the mana in his body to be lost at an alarming rate.

Although he had not yet reached the point of exhaustion of mana, in order to ensure that he could continue to move forward, he had to constantly replenish the consumption of mana.

At this moment, the time it took Matthew to cross a step was extended again, from the previous five breaths to a full eight breaths.

Every time he lifted his foot and landed, it was like a long torture.

But fortunately, the time spent by the skinny old man in front was also getting longer and longer.

Now, it takes more than thirty breaths for him to cross a step each time!

This gives Matthew more opportunities and hope to catch up.

The first thing he has to do now is to surpass the skinny old man. Who knows if the other party will do anything else when he goes up.

If the other party takes something and triggers some restrictions, then he will be in vain.

Therefore, Matthew must reach the top before the skinny old man arrives to take the initiative.

Matthew took a deep breath, and with the help of the effect of the spiritual fluid, he climbed up a full fifty steps in one breath!

At the same time, the skinny old man above only walked ten steps.

At this time, the distance between Matthew and the skinny old man had shortened to only about a hundred steps away.

Although the strong gravity became stronger as he continued to climb up, Matthew could not care about so much at the moment.

He raised all the remaining spiritual liquid in his hand without hesitation and drank it up.

Then, he quickly closed his hands.

In an instant, a dazzling purple light burst out from Matthew.

This purple light was like a volcanic eruption, releasing a terrifying breath that made people palpitate.

With the crazy surge of purple light, a huge purple figure gradually emerged on Matthew's body.

This mysterious and majestic figure was the Hunyuan Dharma he practiced!

When the Hunyuan Dharma was fully revealed, Matthew suddenly felt that the pressure on his body, which was as heavy as a mountain, was suddenly reduced by half.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had shared most of his weight, and the remaining heavy pressure was all firmly borne by this majestic and powerful statue.
