Chapter 2166

Author: Celestial Clouds
Facing danger, Hennessy forgot about Adrian's warning and pulled out the bamboo tube at his waist. Then, he activated the mechanism and aimed it at Adrian's chest.

Adrian had already lunged toward the man in purple, and Hennessy's poisoned needles were shot in vain, dispersing like falling stars.

Hennessy took aim once again. Meanwhile, Adrian was in a fierce battle with the man in purple, gaining a clear advantage and pushing him backward.

Bucky, having just arrived at the scene, witnessed Hennessy attempting to harm Adrian. In a panic, he rushed over and grabbed Hennessy as he shouted, "Watch out, sir!"

However, it was too late. Hennessy's poisoned needles had already been released, heading toward Adrian's back.

Adrian heard Bucky's warning and stopped his attack. He grabbed the man in purple's hands before flipping him over through brute strength. The man staggered and dropped his sword, not expecting Adrian to use such a tactic. He missed his attack and felt a tightness in h

    Bucky was in a panic. Francisco Perez was the head of Moonlit, a formidable figure, even surpassing Leeroy, the leader of the powerful Debonaire Syndicate. However, Francisco was known for his fiery temper and straightforward personality, making him less favored and renowned than Leeroy."Let's get out of here, sir!" Bucky quickly suggested. "We can deny whatever they hurl at us as long as they don't catch us.""That won't do anything to help us. If I leave, the charges will stick, and I'll end up having to hide wherever I go in Debonaire. I don't want that kind of life."Adrian could not care less about what others speculated of him, but he needed to get to Debonaire City.Bucky was rendered speechless. They would be at greater risk if they chose to stay. He made up his mind that he was going to take the fall for Adrian if the situation became dire."You can pin the blame on me, sir,” he said."No one will believe that." Adrian gave Bucky a stern look. "I trust that neither of

    Francisco looked to Adrian, hoping for an explanation. Adrian chuckled and said, "It's only natural for one to feel angry after realizing they have a treacherous apprentice. He tried to eradicate the menace before he died.”"That’s impossible!" A hurried and breathless voice interrupted. The speaker seemed exhausted, slapping his chest as if trying to catch his breath. "Hennessy was the most outstanding apprentice at Westia!"Adrian glanced at the newcomer. It was the leader of Westia, Gavin Pape. He was a tall and burly man with a fully-grown beard. Moreover, he looked like a hot-tempered man. "What was he outstanding at? Running his mouth maybe?" Adrian mocked. Hennessy's skills were mediocre at best, proven by the fact that he would not have resorted to underhanded tactics if he was indeed skilled. Gavin blushed. Hennessy was good with words, pleasing everyone in Westia with his high EQ."You murderer!" Gavin drew a spiked knife. "You killed the number one apprentice of o

    Everyone was instantly stunned, and their gazes involuntarily turned to Adrian's waist. Sure enough, they saw a copper emblem there. At that moment, nobody dared to make a reckless move anymore.Gavin felt guilty. He did not dare to confront Ivory Cloud and only wished to restore his faction’s dignity. They had just lost a formidable figure, and their past glory was now unattainable. He resented Hennessy as it was he who ruined Westia.Even so, he looked at Francisco and said, "Do you believe him? I think he's a liar.""I don't believe it in the slightest." Francisco looked at Adrian. "You couldn't have defeated the strongest person in Westia bare-handed no matter how powerful you are."Adrian smiled faintly. "Your speculation is correct, Sir Francisco. The Purple Scimitar is indeed mine. Igor Gretzky gave me that weapon."Francisco was speechless.Gavin felt faint, saying to Francisco, "Don't be fooled. I just came from the marketplace and saw that two elders were killed there.

    Sonny was the first to react to the situation. Seeing the ruthless look on Adrian's face, he realized how serious Adrian was and switched to sweet-talking."I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, my friend. We were planning to kill him, and you've done us a huge favor. We’re in your debt,” Sonny said.Adrian threw aside Gavin’s spear and glanced at Francisco, who was gripping his weapon tightly. He knew that Francisco was unhappy with what happened and still wished to fight him. "Sir, I thought you were a wise person. I'm surprised to see how huge of a fool you actually are. You willingly became Shaquille's lackey, and you'll never be able to amount to anything in this life,” Adrian commented.Francisco was extremely surprised. He was indeed in cahoots with Shaquille. After all, Shaquille had tremendous influence and had many people serving under him. Apart from the Debonaire Syndicate, no one dared to confront the Wolf Fangs."How did you know?" Francisco asked.Adrian calmly said

    Adrian was watching Marissa who was tied to a pillar. She was struggling against her bindings, and her face was distorted as if in great pain.Rozi looked greatly saddened, and wrinkles had appeared on her smooth face. "What do we do, Adrian?" she asked.On their journey back earlier, Marissa had experienced several seizures. Rozi then transferred her vitality to Marissa, causing her own appearance to age rapidly.Adrian rubbed his temples and said, "She has to just endure this for now. You should go. I'll handle this. Don’t worry, I won't let her die.""You're right." Lionel approached. "As long as she gets through today, I can use my silver needles to treat her. But for now, she has to endure it."Marissa gritted her teeth. She had not expected the Sol Pills to be so addictive. She itched terribly, feeling as if she were being bitten by ants, accompanied by occasional bouts of pain.Seeing Adrian's encouraging gaze though, she felt somewhat reassured. She was also determined to

    "Green Plum Grass is extremely rare," Andre said as he frowned. "Ordinary people rarely use it, and many believe it to be a miraculous medicine. Only its seeds can be used as a medicinal ingredient; the stem and leaves are highly toxic."Adrian felt conflicted. If only the seeds were effective, this left little opportunity for people like them, especially since he had no relationship with Leeroy."I need it badly though,” Adrian lamented."Claude mentioned it to me." Andre accepted a glass that Claude handed to me, calmly stating, "I've already examined Ms. Rozi and determined that Green Plum Grass will have no effect on her condition."Adrian looked out the window, but Lionel was nowhere to be seen. He wondered where the latter had gone. Despite knowing he had urgent matters, Lionel deliberately avoided showing up. This proved quite frustrating.Claude nudged Adrian and whispered, "Mr. Lionel just argued with Andre and they almost came down to fists."Andre, having sharp ears, s

    Andre's words frightened Claude. Although Axel was dead, he had been his mentor. If things were investigated, he would undoubtedly be implicated. He started to panic. But looking at Adrian and seeing his calm expression, Claude breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Andre could not stay here forever and would leave soon.Unexpectedly, Adrian said, "Medicis Manor is the distributor. Before you arrived, we already eradicated the root cause of the pills."Claude almost fainted. Andre had just discussed a partnership with Adrian. In the future, Medicis Manor would supply medicinal ingredients to Debonaire City, a substantial business deal that could elevate Medicis Manor's status. But everything was now ruined."I know." Andre continued studying the Herb Compendium. "Claude lacks experience, but now that he’s in charge, I believe such a thing won't happen again."Claude nodded. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling grateful. Adrian had shown complete wisdom and managed to gain A

    Halfway through, Andre found a chance and whispered, "Why did you bring him along, Adrian? He's an arrogant man who thinks he's all that. It's only a matter of time before he lands us in trouble.""He's actually a pretty nice guy who always treats patients for free. It's rare to find friendly and kind doctors just like yourself these days." Andre was flattered to hear this and thought that Adrian was a decent guy who took good care of everyone he crossed paths with. Moreover, Adrian kept everyone's hopes up, causing everyone to like him.However, Andre was still worried about the Blossom Needles. "Are you sure this is okay? He looks like he's high on Sol Pills, and his addiction is acting up. Just look at how distorted his face looks,” he commented.Adrian smiled. "You're both extremely skilled physicians, so you two could stand to benefit from learning from each other.""Fine. I just hate his face, that’s all." Andre felt secretly elated. "I hate your face too. If it weren’t f

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

    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 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.

    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. 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
