The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2437
The people, filled with fear and apprehension, organized numerous sacrificial rituals in an attempt to appease the spirits.However, all their efforts proved futile. Over time, the residents dared not venture outside anymore. Even when they did, they hurried along, unwilling to be turned into ice sculptures by the severe weather.Listening to the man's account, Adrian couldn't help but feel skeptical. As an immortal, he didn't believe in gods because immortals knew that there were no gods in this world.Although they were referred to as immortals, the notion of ascending to godhood was but a legend. Even if godhood existed, it would be an entirely different and mysterious world, unrelated to the mortal world. Folklore about gods and spirits was merely human imagination.Since it wasn't divine wrath, Adrian deduced something else must be causing the phenomenon. He speculated that the mineral must be a spiritual treasure, a natural wonder imbued with aura essence. Those who mined it
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2438
Not far away, several people were wielding tools, engaged in mining. They must be mining for the essence stones.When they saw Adrian, they waved their tools and asked, "Hey, what are you doing here? Don't you know it's dangerous?"Adrian smiled and replied, "Aren't you all here, too? If you're not afraid of danger, why should I be?"While speaking, he used his consciousness to scan the group. He found that none of them emitted any trace of mana—they were all ordinary people. Thus, he had no reservations.The apparent leader asked, "We're miners from out of town. We're here to mine. How about you?"Adrian chuckled. "I'm from out of town, too. I heard there's a valuable mineral vein here, so I came to take a look. Hope you don't mind."The leader generously said, "This mineral vein was discovered by everyone together. It doesn't belong to any one person. Feel free to mine. If we strike it rich, we'll share the wealth! Hehe, buddy, do you need tools?"The leader kindly offered Adr

"I am the spirit of this mineral vein, the guardian of this place..." The voice echoed once again, accompanied by massive information flooding into Adrian's mind.As it turned out, this Frost Crystal Mine vein was born from the aura essence of heaven and earth. Over an indeterminable period, it had integrated with everything around it, nurturing all living beings under its protection. It was akin to a great mother, safeguarding all life within its broad embrace.As time passed, this mineral vein, or rather, the aura essence born within it, developed its own consciousness. Given its integration with the surroundings, it possessed powerful spiritual power, enabling it to perceive various events in the world.It could sense the arduous survival of Frost City's ancestors on this land, feel a frigid blade of grass resiliently emerging in the fierce wind, and silently protect everything there with its immense spiritual power.Later, when the people there established a country and began l

The leader led a group of people away.Adrian stayed in place, looking around. Indeed, all those minerals had turned into a faint black color. Although still crystal clear, they had lost their former spirituality. He knew this was because he had absorbed the aura essence.Adrian sighed and walked out. The wind and snow outside gradually diminished, indicating that what the spiritual consciousness had said was correct.Adrian threw a few punches, feeling the aura essence within his body become more vigorous and surging. His strength had probably improved again, but he hadn't broken through to a new stage.'Who knows when I'll be able to break through a new stage?' he wondered.Although he thought this way, he wasn't in a hurry. Now, he planned to continue on his way, striving to reach the Frostspire as soon as possible.*Several days later, it was impossible to determine exactly when Frostspire began. There were only rumors that the faction's founder was a great deity named Lord

This was everything that Amara told Adrian.Amara was the only Frostspire apprentice he met along the way. Right now, the two were on their way to Frostspire.Frostspire was not far from their current location as it was situated on a frozen plain to the north. However, they had to travel over the sea to reach there. The sea in this extreme northern region was mostly covered by thick ice, making it safe for people to walk on.As Amara guided Adrian, the glaciers thickened, and the icebergs rose higher. The once seemingly endless Northern Hallow Deep now resembled meandering river channels, and the sky was adorned with colorful aurorae.The reason behind this unusual occurrence was the colossal vacuum space with numerous spatial distortions in this area. The ocean appeared to be divided into several river channels. Outside this area, the river channels merged back into an expansive sea.Adrian stood in awe, marveling at the miraculous scene before him. It was then that Amara said, "
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2442
The first trial was about how to enter Frostspire. In doing so, they could select a portion of the more outstanding individuals from among these people. Those who could not enter naturally had no chance of joining the faction.Therefore, this successive screening process was crucial."Let's go. You don't have to go through this trial. I'll bring you in myself," Amara said.Adrian was hesitant. "Isn't it inappropriate?"Amara waved her hand and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. It's a common practice. Many just entered with guidance, didn't they? Those are the ones with connections! Moreover, your skill is just as good as theirs. You don't have to undergo this trial. I'll guide you in, and there's nothing wrong about it."Since Amara put it that way, Adrian could only agree. After all, it was a good opportunity not to be missed.Under Amara's guidance, Adrian found himself stepping into a mist. Soon after, a beautiful, otherworldly scene appeared before his eyes.It was an in
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2443
Numerous people had gathered on the platform. It seemed that many had successfully passed the initial trial.Originally, Adrian had no intention of participating in this trial. However, participating was necessary since he wanted to obtain some useful information. After all, participating in the trial would not only grant him access to Frostspire but also enable him to investigate any potential leads within.There were quite a few individuals clad in robes, and Adrian figured that they were Frostspire members. At present, they were preparing for the entry assessment.Many of them offered greetings to Amara when they passed by her. Apparently, Amara held a considerable position within the faction.Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of Amara. He was a man in his 20s with a robust stature and a remarkable appearance.As soon as this man appeared, Amara immediately stopped in her tracks and greeted, "Hi, Rubern."Rubern nodded and smiled. "It has been a long time, Amara. We ha
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2444
Amara said, "His arrogance may come from his high status."Adrian fell silent. When a person reached an unprecedented position, they often lost themselves in it, just like Rubern. Even though he held an extremely high status in the faction, he seemed to have lost himself in his own power.At that moment, all those who passed the first trial gathered in the square's center while the Frostspire apprentices stood on both sides. Among them was Amara, who kept her eyes firmly on Adrian. Standing alongside her, Rubern observed Adrian with a peculiar expression.Adrian knew Rubern was watching him, so he looked back at him firmly.Rubern frowned and averted his gaze. Even though Adrian had no idea about Rubern's intention, he was convinced he was plotting something dubious.After a while, an old man with long white hair and a beard walked out from the main hall in front of the square. He was called Edmund Ashcroft and the elder responsible for the new intakes in Frostspire.Standing bef

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4807
"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
