The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1545
Before Adrian could answer, Cian explained, "War Legate Draco entered the palace to search for us. We would’ve been dead a long time ago if not for him.”“We’re really sorry for all the trouble, sir.” Adrian nodded. "All right, now's not the time for this. We have to get to the Celestial Lake as soon as possible."Rozi turned around and gestured. "Follow me. There's a stairs up ahead that’ll lead us directly to the lake." She led them toward a corner of the canyon. Oliver said, "I never thought a place like this could ever exist. Those drawings on the walls and the pillars back at the palace, they were telling us a story."Adrian was astonished by Oliver's analytical skills. Oliver was no ordinary engineer. "Go ahead and tell me what you think," Adrian said. Oliver nodded. "Something happened in our world thousands of years ago. Humans waged a war against a terrifying and powerful existence. It caused more than half of our population to be wiped out. What surprised me is how n

Oliver asked, "Is that all true, sir? Does the Creator really exist?"Adrian replied, "It's still too early to say what the Creator is, but one thing is for certain. He can decide our fates and can bring catastrophe to our world. He's the one who caused the meteorites to fall on Isle 416, something that has affected our world for thousands of years. He's also the one who caused the disappearance of the Uduma Desert.“The Creator has had his eyes on us for the longest time, and the war depicted in the drawings may happen again. Which is why we have to be ready.”Everyone was shocked. They never expected there to be an existence that could control their lives. And this particular existence was capable of erasing their world whenever he wanted. Just the thought of this was terrifying. Rozi suddenly stopped in her tracks and said, "We're here. This is the Utopia Stairwell. Follow the stairs and we'll reach the top of the mountain where the Celestial Lake is located."Everyone stopped

Rozi remained silent, agreeing that even Wonder may not have known how to defeat the Creator. Wonder created this world to tell future generations about the previous war, hoping they would be able to prepare themselves better. Although Wonder's understanding of the Creator may have been scarce, he at least knew the Creator’s weaknesses. Adrian just had to play everything by ear. ***The group went up the stairs for more than an hour, taking a short break halfway up before pushing on. The top of the mountain came within sight after they got through the thick mist.About half an hour later, they finally arrived at the mountaintop. Everyone gasped for air when they arrived and laid down to rest. Adrian did not stop as he observed his surroundings together with Rozi. There was a stone platform with a large monument built on top of it with the words "Apex Obelisk" engraved on it. Beneath the platform was a stream of water so clear you could see all the way to the bottom. Rozi poin

It was hard for others to understand how a world could be created, but Adrian could believe this after having experienced it himself."I'm sure you have your basis for thinking that, Adrian. I thought of that too but couldn't confirm it,” Rozi said.“This monument continuously provides energy to this world. If the monument disappears, this whole world will cease to exist. Thus, I believe there is an Apex Obelisk in our world too. If Wonder could create this world, then I'm sure ours was created by someone as well. Although Wonder’s world is very small, both worlds share similarities, which is the fact that they were created. That's how I arrived at the conclusion that there is something similar to this monument in our world as well," Adrian said. While the others were trying to digest everything he said, Rozi nodded and replied, "That's very possible. This world and our world are very similar, so we can be certain that the Creator is able to control our fates because he somehow gai

A person with a tainted soul would not survive the Celestial Lake. Rozi had managed to survive the lake in the past, which meant she had been accepted. However, Rozi was not a person of this era, but from over a thousand years ago. Adrian was of the opinion they needed to resolve this through the power of the modern generation. The lake's water was extremely clear, yet mysterious powers lay within. "I think my soul's pure enough. Wait here. Don't do anything after I've gone in." Adrian took a deep breath and prepared himself to enter the lake. Cian and the others watched anxiously, unsure of what would happen next. They knew based on what they heard from Rozi that the Celestial Lake could be fatal.Rozi said flatly, "Be careful. Don’t push yourself too hard."Adrian nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going in now." He jumped into the lake. Surprisingly, no ripples spread out when he jumped in. It was as if he had not jumped into a lake, but a mirror. Yet, it was not a mirror.Adr

They were doing their best to survive, just like the drawings on the palace walls. 'Is this the future?' Adrian was dazed by what he saw, but it was not over yet.The finale started to play…Adrian saw himself. Drenched in blood, he looked dead as he lay on the ground at the top of a mountain that reached the clouds. Jerome, Remy, Sage, Sylvia, and Strider were on the mountain too, taking a final stand despite their severe injuries. When Jerome slashed his sword across the sky, the dark clouds dispersed, and peace returned to the world.Everything that was reset had been restored.At that moment, Adrian felt a force pulling his body. Slowly, he was pulled out of the lake."He's up!" Cian yelled in excitement. Adrian gasped for air the moment he got back to the surface. They ran over to help him up. "Are you all right, sir?"Adrian panted for a while before saying, "I'm okay."After a while, his breathing returned to normal and he got to his feet. Everyone gathered around h

The Apex Obelisk was more than thirty meters tall and the endless power contained within it was palpable.Adrian gazed at it and saw a glimmer of hope. He asked, "Have you been to the top of the monument, Rozi? Do you know what's up there?"The top of the Apex Obelisk was broad enough to house a few people. Wonder had surely left a way for others to retain their memories if he knew how everything would play out, so maybe there was something at the top of the monument. Meanwhile, Rozi was stunned. She had not thought of that before. She realized she had neglected a very important point."No, I’ve not been up there. I don't know what to expect at the top.""Excellent. The secret to everything might be up there. I'm going to go and take a look," Adrian said."Be careful, sir. We don't know what sort of dangers are up there. Don’t let your guard down," Oliver warned. “I won’t,” Adrian said, then asked Cian, "Do you have a rope?"Cian nodded and took out a rope and hook from his b

There were more than five hundred corpses lying about!"What's the matter?" Rozi asked. "I was mistaken. It's not just twenty corpses, but more than five hundred. They all died a long time ago too."Adrian's reply shocked everyone once more.Rozi asked, "How did they die?""I'm trying to find out right now.” Adrian carefully examined the corpses and found they all had one thing in common. Though the degree of their decomposition varied, it was clear all of them had one burnt arm. Their burned arms were charred black, and some of the newer corpses even had burn blisters on them. They had either been electrocuted or burned with something extremely hot. "All of them have one burnt arm.""A burnt arm? What happened to them?"Everyone started discussing, but nobody could figure out what could have caused the burns. Rozi then asked, "Are you sure about that?" Adrian nodded. "I'm sure. They all have the same injuries. They must’ve grabbed something and then died. The rest of t

The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" 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? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. 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. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4809
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. A reckless move co

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. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
