Chapter 2373

Author: Celestial Clouds
Laney shook her head, stating, "Abel, you're in the dark about this. It's deeply connected to current events. To human immortals, creatures like us are viewed as aliens, and we need to maintain our distance. The dynamics among monsters differ from those among humans. It's commonplace for us to eliminate each other.

"To thrive in this jungle law, we're compelled to do so."

Her words snapped Dragon Prince out of his daze.

In reality, weren't humans the same, monsters aside?

The dragons experienced it, too!

Internally, they were deceitful, scheming against each other, and willing to do anything for personal gain.

Self-destruction was inevitable among them.

The only difference was that it wasn't as gruesome as among monsters. Humans often wore the mask of righteousness when pursuing their interests.

Dragon Prince observed this clearly.

Survival necessitated strengthening themselves, avoiding being slain by immortals or their own kind, a situation marked by helplessness and comprom

    Laney fell into contemplative silence after Adrian's revelation.She thought about it for a long time before saying, "I've never thought about that… But what else can we do? Where can we seek refuge? Which faction in the human world will accept monsters like us?""Well…"Adrian was at a loss for words. In truth, he hadn't formulated a plan. He was there because sleep eluded him, his mind restless for reasons he couldn't comprehend.An inexplicable frustration nagged at him, lingering without apparent cause. Attempting meditation had proved futile as the troublesome thoughts persisted.He had decided to take a walk and overheard their conversation when he made it to the rooftop.That was why he said what he said.However, he had to think through how to deal with the issue.In reality, what Laney said made sense.There was a big gap between humans and monsters.While some training factions accepted supernatural beings or appointed monsters as guardians, it was a rarity.

    The five individuals went by the collective name Five Watts.They were no ordinary mortals—they were human immortals and adept monster hunters.Walking behind them were a middle-aged man and a young man.The elder one exuded majesty and authority, adorned in sophisticated attire that spoke of affluence. He was none other than Demarcus Herrera, the master of the Herreras in Silverboa City.His son, Noah Herrera, donned brocade clothes and stood beside him with a cynical expression.Noah asked, "Dad, do you believe we'll gain anything from hunting fox monsters in Verdant Summit? We've brought our strongest armored guards from home. We can't return empty-handed! Why do I have this nagging feeling that we've been deceived?"He subtly gestured toward the Five Watts, leading the way.Demarcus frowned and whispered, "I'm not sure, but they claim rare enlightened white foxes are in this summit. I believe them. Besides, even though our alliance is driven by personal interest, they remain

    Archie remarked, "Do tell, Mr. Demarcus."Demarcus replied, "Well, since you'll have the monster cores, about my son's training… please do your best."The Watts stopped in their tracks upon hearing that. Doubts flashed through their eyes as they exchanged glances.Demarcus, caught up in the moment, remained oblivious to their reactions.Archie communicated with the others through consciousness, asking, "What do you guys think about this?"The three of them looked troubled and remained silent.Zak, the eldest among them, voiced his thoughts, "It's nothing. Noah is mediocre. Without those pills, there's no way he could reach such a level. After all, the Herreras are wealthy. Treat this as a trade. We can provide him with pills to aid his training. It's just that..."Archie interjected, "I know. We have to keep this a secret. The faction can't find out. Just like that arrogant Val we encountered. We would've been doomed if we hadn't disguised ourselves in time!"Edgar was frustrat

    However, Noah's situation was different.Generally, people only used external elixirs as auxiliary means to level up or reduce risks.On the other hand, Noah directly used external elixirs to elevate and enhance his strength. With little effort, he achieved a stage that most people dream of throughout their lives. Only with the presence of power in the body could external elixirs serve as supplements. However, even with assistance from the elixir, one still must continue honing their level. Meanwhile, Noah used the pills directly, which was a distinct difference from how others used them. After getting stronger, the Watts also taught Noah some basic techniques of Mystic Elixir. Although Noah couldn't master them perfectly, he achieved a decent level of proficiency. Through diligent practice, he made some progress and mastered some. Noah's approach involved risks similar to the effects of using stimulating drugs. While it greatly increased his strength, it also hid potential d

    But now, things had changed.The middle-aged man clenched his teeth, and threads of fresh blood oozed between his lips. However, he displayed no sign of cowardice because he was a man of integrity. Even in the face of death, he wouldn't show any favor to these evil creatures.The girl couldn't bear to witness Quintin Guthrie in such a state and shouted anxiously, "Uncle Quintin!"She attempted to step forward to aid the middle-aged man, but the Iron Guardian Legion beside her firmly held her back.Quintin had become the girl's sole emotional support. She didn't want anything to happen to him. After all, she had lost her family, and he was now the only elder left she could trust.Demarcus looked at Quintin with disdain and said, "Quintin, you are now a prisoner, yet you dare to be so arrogant!"Quintin coldly retorted, "Even as a prisoner, I stand tall and fearless. I won't fear you wicked creatures. Even in death, I will become a vengeful spirit and tear you all into pieces!"Al

    This wasn't because the formation was too powerful but rather due to the intricacies of spatial changes within it. Their blind attacks only led to the dissipation of their mana in the distorted space, failing to break the formation. Only a highly trained expert could directly dismantle it.Zak couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a powerful formation! I can't believe it encompasses the subtleties of spatial changes!" He then shouted, "Formation, everyone!"With this command, the other four adjusted their positions, forming a pattern of the five elements and supporting each other alongside Zak.The five-person formation surged with mana, merging into a singular entity. Their synergy made them appear as one.Another sword ray shot out, more than ten times more powerful than the previous strike.Accompanied by a resounding bang, the entire valley seemed to shake like an earthquake. Those standing behind the Watts were wobbling, swaying as if they could fall at any moment. Even someon

    In reality, the true Turk family was an unbroken aristocratic lineage of fox monsters. Therefore, not all fox monsters were born into the Turk lineage. The Turk lineage dated back to ancient times, so it was impossible to trace when the Turks first appeared. However, a tradition of worshiping the Celestial Drago had been passed down in their family. It seemed that their ancestor had a deep connection with Celestial Drago.Unlike other monsters, fox monsters of the Turk lineage seemed to possess an extraordinary spiritual power. This spiritual power's blessing allowed almost all foxes in their family to sense the heavenly arts and hone the immortality arts. Their innate intelligence seemed to surpass that of other monsters. It was difficult for monsters to hone the immortality arts primarily because of the difficulty of achieving 'enlightenment'. When wolves began to ponder why they ate meat, and rabbits pondered why they ate grass, this was the beginning of enlightenment.Unfortu

    After that, he accelerated even more, a move aimed directly at Archie!Archie doubted that Adrian could match his power in a confrontation. Suddenly, he saw a sharp sword essence directly aimed at his vital points.This move made him tremble. He had never expected Adrian's attack to be so powerful! The ruthless force it carried brought immense pressure.Instantly, he shifted from offense to defense, channeling all his strength into defense. However, Adrian's strike suddenly became incredibly formidable. In an instant, it arrived before him and delivered a powerful impact, causing Archie to groan. His figure flew backward, almost falling to the ground.Seeing that, Adrian took a swift step forward. Then, a sword was directly pointed at his opponent's neck, inducing a sense of suffocation and completely restraining him.Although Archie was currently in a controlled state, his expression remained sharp, carrying a formidable edge as he stared at Adrian.Adrian smiled coldly and as

    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

    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.

    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
