Chapter 1406

Author: Celestial Clouds
Was it all a coincidence, or had it actually happened?

‘That tower should hold all of Gostia's secrets. I have to enter it if I want to find out more.’

Adrian took a deep breath. He decided to rest for the night and continue his journey to the tower the next morning. He estimated he would be there by the next night.

Without hesitation, Adrian leaped onto a roof, his choice place for sleep over the past few days. The zombie guards could not jump, so the higher ground was naturally safer.

***

The morning sky was not as sunny as Adrian had expected. Instead, it was completely overcast. Heavy clouds hung low, casting Enigma City into a dark, evening-like state. The unpredictable weather here was probably influenced by some magnetic field. These scientific aspects were hard for Adrian to grasp.

After having some compressed biscuits and water, Adrian slung his backpack over his shoulders and continued toward the tower. Around five hours later, he was less than three hundred meters aw

    Adrian was not bothered to wonder how the top floor of the tower led to the Uduma Desert. Instead, he focused on the outlander leaders. There were eight of them, and these older men were immortals. On top of that, there were approximately five thousand people patrolling the area.Entering the tower would be difficult.Adrian furrowed his brows. He knew the outlanders would discover him if he tried to infiltrate. They had eight immortals on their side, and it was impossible for Adrian to fight them, especially in his current state."Faster! Hurry up!”"We need everything moved out of here.”"Once this mission is over, we'll become the strongest nation in the world!"The leaders continued to shout.These people were moving large quantities of stones, gold, silver, gems, and weapons from the first floor of the tower in baskets.Adrian spotted corpses of zombie guards around the outlanders, which were mixed with the corpses of their former comrades. ‘Looks like they suffered quite

    The zombies swarmed toward the outlanders upon sensing large amounts of body heat."We're under attack! Prepare for battle!" one of the leaders roaredEveryone picked up their weapons to fire at the incoming zombies. However, the number of zombies was overwhelming. And on top of that, they continued to run despite getting their heads blown off. The only way to disable the zombies was to break their legs. A storm of bullets wreaked havoc upon the zombies, but most of the bullets landed on their torsos. After all, it was still a little challenging to hit their legs."Get ready to fight!”The eight immortals charged forward, radiating with light. They cleared a path by scattering the zombies with a powerful punch.Adrian frowned as he watched the scene unfold from a distance. ‘This isn’t favorable. The zombies don’t pose much of a threat with eight immortals around. I need to find a way to take the immortals down.’As his mind raced, he spotted a few corpses nearby. Most of them w

    The five surviving immortals were astonished to see another of their comrades perishing. They had not expected for those as mighty as them to be killed by an ordinary gun-wielding mortal."After him!""Get him!""Attack!"The immortals were outraged. They soared into the air and transformed into streaks of light that headed right for Adrian. All five of them attacked simultaneously in an attempt to defeat him in a single blow.Adrian reacted quickly, dashing into the zombie guard ranks as the immortals charged at him. He crouched and crept past the zombies to avoid detection, and the five immortals lost sight of him.Boom! Boom! Boom!!! In retaliation, the five immortals dealt several strikes to blast apart the horde of zombies. But Adrian had no plans on being a sitting duck."Where is he?”"Where did he go?"The immortals were frantic, unable to locate Adrian's current position."Look out!" one of them suddenly shouted.But it was too late. Another immortal received a he

    Boom! Boom! Boom!Building after building was obliterated by the immortals’ attacks, but Adrian could anticipate what they would do and remained untraceable within the city. "Show yourself, you b*stard!" The three remaining immortals shouted as they stood on the rooftop. They scanned the area and kept shifting locations in an attempt to avoid Adrian shooting them down so easily. But Gloria was not the only one with excellent marksmanship. Adrian did too, and he refused to take his shot unless he was absolutely sure he would hit his target.Bang!A sixth gunshot rang out, and the immortals panicked. The bullet zipped through the air and killed a sixth immortal before they could even scream. Only two remained now, and Adrian had vanished from sight once again."Let's blend into the zombie horde, Austin. He won't be able to catch us and we'll be safe while we think of another plan," one of the immortals shouted.Austin acknowledged this and rushed into the zombie horde in mimicry

    The outlanders had suffered the misfortune of Adrian thwarting the strategy they had taken years to plan. Close to ten thousand outlander adventurers had laid down their lives in Enigma City, including eight immortals. The impossible had happened. Immortals were supposed to be mighty beings high above mere mortals, yet these few were doomed to sleep within this city forever.Adrian had not expected things to go so well for him. He was now the only living being within Enigma City, and heaps of corpses surrounded him. The tower was now before his eyes, but he did not enter yet.‘That Rondonier leader had ordered the men not to enter the tower's second floor. They were only allowed to gather stones from the first floor. They must have some sort of intel, the kind that tells them how dangerous it is inside.’Adrian stood on the roof and looked toward the nineteen-story tower. More accurately, it was eighteen stories since the nineteenth was the Uduma Desert. He looked toward the eightee

    “What?!" Revice asked back in shock. Enigma City was a secretive place with countless illusions, so it would not be the first time they had lost contact with their men. "Keep trying," he said. "Yes, sir.” Coldfang frowned and asked, "Should we send a few more men down there to have a look? What if something bad has happened?"Revice shook his head, concerned that something was off. "We've sent ten thousand men down there with all the weapons and ammunition they need, and they've got seven immortals with them. If something happened, we would’ve heard gunshots.“On top of that, those immortals are invincible. Enigma City frequently undergoes changes and fluctuations happen often in its magnetic fields. I think it's just an interference in the signals.”He then ordered, “Keep trying to reestablish radio contact. If we still can't get through to them in half an hour, we'll send more men down there to have a look.”"Yes, sir.”Several shouts were heard throughout the temporary

    Bang!!! Revice and the others immediately spotted the flare. "We've got a signal! Pull up the baskets!" Revice yelled. The staff members quickly input a command into their laptops and the baskets were slowly raised by the chains. Revice and the others looked down in excitement. "Our men are safe. They must’ve found some great treasure and were working really hard earlier. And our signals must’ve gotten jammed," Coldfang said. Revice nodded. "We got not just the meteorites, but jewelry too. Gostia was known as one of the wealthiest countries, after all.” With a sinister expression, he continued, "The first thing we'll do once we obtain the meteorites is develop a virus that will wipe out all Novemtoners. We'll kill them all."Rondoniers despised Novemton to their very core and hoped to wipe them off the earth.The baskets had been raised high enough for them to make out."Hahaha, Novemton's doom has arrived. We'll kill all of them, then make the men our slaves and the women

    Adrian rushed into the temporary base and slayed the staff members inside without hesitation."Attack!”"Get him!" The outlanders chased after Adrian in a maddened frenzy, but Adrian had already fled the base and entered the desert. Boom! Boom! Boom!!! Countless explosions came from the destroyed carrier planes, crackling as flames engulfed them. "Aaah!"The outlanders were in complete chaos and were like sitting ducks after losing their generals. A few of them tried to surround Adrian in a two-pronged attack, but the latter quickly disappeared into the desert. They panicked and chased after him, but they stepped on some landmines and were instantly blown into pieces.Half of the remaining outlanders died in the explosion. Some of them were sent flying by the shockwave while the lucky ones were left stupefied. And Adrian did not stop there. He stood up and fired off his guns once more. The outlanders yelled as they were toyed around with. Although they had the advantage i

Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so?

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair.

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power.

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body.
