Chapter 2419

Author: Celestial Clouds
However, the drawback of the Vulcan blunderbuss was its slow reloading speed. Therefore, it required the cooperation of close combat weapons such as knives, spears, and short weapons to unleash its immense power on the battlefield.

Having witnessed these fierce and valiant soldiers, Adrian truly felt the brutality of war. These soldiers stationed at the border had faced the battlefield for years, their faces and bodies weathered, marked by wrinkles.

However, they had no complaints. The faces of all these soldiers were marked with bravery and fearlessness.

On the afternoon of the day they arrived at Desolate Dune, Honorius led them to meet the general stationed here—Zane Berg.

Zane was tall and sturdy, standing over ten feet tall. He resembled a giant, intimidating anyone who looked at him. His eyes were like bronze bells, and a circle of beard surrounded his face, giving him a stern and powerful appearance as if he could knock out a cow with a single punch.

However, this burly Zan

    Adrian pondered for a moment and said, "Immortals are not omnipotent. I can only go elsewhere to break rocks and move them here to create a path. However, this approach is too noisy. I'm afraid they'll discover it before the road is completed."Honorius shook his head. "That's indeed troublesome. Is there any other way? I've heard that immortals have extraordinary abilities to transfer space. Don't you have similar means? Can't you instantly move the entire army to the hill?"Zane nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, that would save us a lot of effort."Adrian smiled bitterly. "Although immortals possess spatial transfer abilities, unfortunately, I don't have such great skills. Otherwise, this war would be much easier."As Adrian finished speaking, Val mysteriously smiled. "You might not have it, but I do."Adrian was greatly surprised. "When did you acquire such great abilities? I don't know much about your skill level, but it shouldn't be much different from mine. You shouldn't be able to

    After saying that, Val waved her sleeve, and a faint golden light appeared before her. Then, a small sapling emerged before everyone's eyes.This sapling was golden in color, only a few inches in size, but it was lush with branches and leaves, full of vitality. Around the small sapling, there was a circle of golden inscriptions floating faintly, adding a mysterious touch to it.Quintin and Honorius, having witnessed various extraordinary abilities, weren't too surprised. However, Zane opened his mouth wide, no longer resembling a military general but more like a child fascinated by some novel object."This is the Divine Waltz Tree?" Quintin exclaimed. "Alright, it's settled then. Tomorrow, we'll launch a surprise attack on those barbarians!"As the saying went, "All is fair in war."War was different from children's play pretend. Often, the key lay in taking the enemy by surprise. As long as you could crush the opponent, informing them beforehand was unnecessary.It was a gloomy

    These people quickly devoured the massive roasted pig, leaving only a clean set of bones.After satisfying their hunger and thirst, everyone's faces were filled with contentment. Meanwhile, Father Reth looked solemn, seemingly lost in thought.Suddenly, shouts and the sounds of a fight came from outside the tent. Before everyone could react, a wounded soldier rushed in. "Report! General, it's bad! The army of the Dragon Dynasty has bypassed the quicksand and iron caltrops using some kind of demonic magic and is directly attacking our camp!""What?!" The people present were all furious, especially General Aadan, whose face was solemn. With a fierce slap, the long table in front of him instantly shattered into pieces. "How cunning of them! Come, follow me! Let's fight our way out!"As the group rushed outside the tent, they found the large military camp in complete chaos. Everywhere, there were flickering figures, burning flames, and splattering of blood. The sounds of screams and cl

    The army was completely suppressed quickly. Those who hadn't died were taken as prisoners. Although the war there had come to an end, Adrian and Val's tasks were just beginning.During the recent chaos, they sensed that one person remained remarkably calm throughout. This person hadn't made a move and had stayed hidden inside a tent during the chaos.Adrian and Val had noticed him, and he flew away in the distance as soon as the war ended.This person was none other than Father Reth, who had been in the tent earlier.Father Reth hadn't participated in the battle and now wanted to escape. How could Adrian let him slip away?Adrian and Val exchanged glances and immediately gave chase without hesitation.Zane approached Quintin and asked, "Mr. Quintin, where are they going?"Quintin replied, "They have their own matters to attend to."Adrian and Val had arrived in the depths of the desert, with the Altalune Kingdom lying ahead. As they landed on the ground, they came across a pers

    Below the Netherduke were the 13 Netherphos Elders, ranked from lowest to highest in colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and white.Judging by his white robe, Father Reth held the highest rank, standing as the first among the elders under the Netherduke. Elders of this level were considered half-deities.The white-robed elders' status was only surpassed by the Netherking and the Netherduke. Therefore, many people worshiped and revered them."So, he's quite powerful! In fact, the Church of Netherphos is a cult that gains supernatural power through faith and worship, and they're not considered immortals. They don't practice the immortality arts!"After listening to Val's analysis of the organization's structure, Adrian couldn't help but exclaim, "This isn't just a cult—it's clearly a small country, a small regime!"The Netherking, huh? If I get the chance, I really want to meet him. But let's deal with the trouble in front of us first!"Val nodded. "Let's join f

    Who exactly was this Father Reth, and how did he know all this?!While Adrian was pondering, Val spoke to him again. "The space we're currently in is a separate dimension I created using the Divine Waltz Tree. You don't need to hold back in this space, so unleash your full power! Remember, either the enemy dies, or I perish!"Adrian nodded, not hesitating any longer. His mana surged as he unleashed his strongest attack, forming a massive airwave that headed toward Father Reth. The airwave flipped in the air, transforming into a thunderstorm that descended upon Father Reth.Simultaneously, the surrounding space began to burst into countless fragments.The immense pressure came crashing down, catching Father Reth off guard for a moment. This was not solely achieved by Adrian, as his level was not high enough to wield such spatial-shattering power. However, in coordination with Val, they were able to achieve this.He knew that now was the time to make a desperate attempt. He couldn't

    The Sootling was a monstrous creature that resided deep within ancient forests, some even concealed in mountain gorges, making it challenging for people to discover them.However, some immortals spared no effort to capture these creatures. The reason lay in the robust bones and tendons of the Sootling, which made excellent materials for crafting elixirs and treasures.As a result, the Sootling faced widespread hunting to a certain extent. However, these creatures were malicious by nature and often attacked human villages and cities in groups, causing havoc and trouble.Despite their valuable body parts, the Sootling's penchant for mischief had made them a headache for many.Regarding the Sootling, Father Reth proudly explained, "This treasure was crafted after capturing 49 Sootlings over more than a decade, using their claws. This claw possesses incredible power, capable of splitting mountains and filling seas. I don't believe you can endure for long!"With a triumphant laugh, he

    As Adrian stabilized his body, he was almost knocked down by the forceful impact. Fortunately, he reacted swiftly, enveloping his body with mana to protect himself. Otherwise, he might not have withstood the blow."Curses, didn't expect this old guy to be so troublesome," Adrian muttered.Despite having a numerical advantage, the battle proved challenging. It was evident that Father Reth had gathered considerable divine power."How are you?" Val's voice echoed."I'm okay," Adrian replied.Although he claimed to be fine, the reality was far from it. Adrian knew Father Reth's previous strike had heavily injured him. He could barely stand and lacked the strength to continue the fight for the time being.Val was aware of Adrian's condition. She instructed him to rest for a while, assuring him that she would take over.'I'll quickly recover with my own powers. I shouldn't worry about Val. Her strength surpasses mine, and with her rich combat experience, she should be able to hold on

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'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

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.
