Chapter 2568

Author: Celestial Clouds
Simultaneously, Belial's attack struck Adrian. In that instant, Adrian sensed an overwhelming force engulfing him, making the air feel scorching hot. Despite the intense pressure, he gritted his teeth and stood firm. His comrades depended on him, and he could not let the astral daemons breach the human world.

"Hya!" He roared and poured all his power into his next attack.

But at this moment, an overwhelming force pushed Adrian back and threw him onto the ground. Fortunately, he protected himself with a barrier. Otherwise, he would have suffered severe injuries.

"You are powerful, human. However, this is where you meet your end. We astral daemons will inevitably descend upon the human world again!"

A distant voice echoed and gradually faded away. The strange phenomena in the sky dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

"Are you okay?"

Others rushed up to Adrian. Despite his earlier instructions to leave the area, they ignored his words and anxiously observed the battle. Upon

    “Really? We can do that?" The group became intrigued.After the recent battle, they had witnessed the immense strength of the astral daemons. Improving their defenses was crucial to face the astral daemons again."How do we further enhance the barriers?" Adrian answered calmly, "Heaven's End City."Understanding instantly dawned upon the crowd. Heaven's End City was the most powerful stronghold in the world, and Adrian intended to enter the city to acquire additional resources."Does this mean you’re going to leave again?" Rozi asked."Yes, I am," Adrian replied.Rozi pouted, but she understood that he had to do this. She said, "Then please take care of yourself.""Don't worry, I will.”With everything settled, Adrian left Silverboa. He continued traversing the vast and boundless wilderness, but soon enough, he stopped. He realized that a mysterious group had appeared behind him.With a cold gaze, he said, "Since you’ve followed me all this way, how about you reveal yourselv

    Adrian smiled at them. "What do you want?""You’re dressed pretty snappily, kid. I presume you're carrying valuable items. I'll give you two choices. One, be a good boy and hand over your valuables. Or two, we'll kill you and take all your valuables. The choice is yours," the leader said while brandishing his sword."I was curious about your intentions, but it seems like you're just here to rob me."Adrian smirked mysteriously and vanished from their sight. As they wondered where he went, they felt a sudden and forceful impact on their bodies. In the next instant, they all dropped to the ground and screamed in agony. After dealing with these individuals, Adrian proceeded toward his destination.Heaven's End City was situated atop a mountain peak. Upon entering the city, Adrian found lodgings at an inn. Establishments of this kind attracted a steady stream of guests, providing an opportunity to easily collect information.He took a seat in the inn’s cafe and ordered, "Bring me your

    The person was surprised to see Adrian remained calm and seated. It seemed to him that Adrian was not afraid of him, and this intrigued him. With a faint smile, he asked, "I'm Zephyr Stormwatcher. I didn't expect you to be so calm. Aren't you afraid of me?"Adrian laughed and said nonchalantly, "Afraid? What’s there to be afraid of? Are you going to eat me alive or kill me?"The person continued, "There were members of Stormwatchers among the ten people you killed earlier. Now that I've found you, you should be afraid of me."Understanding instantly dawned upon Adrian. It seemed to him that this man was here to avenge those people. However, he remained calm and replied indifferently, "I thought you were here for some other reason. No matter. Since I managed to kill those experts, I surely can deal with you. So, if you don't mind, I'm willing to have a little showdown with you."Everyone was stunned when they heard what Adrian said. The onlookers believed that Zephyr would surely

    They were particularly excited when Zephyr said he was going to teach Adrian a lesson. Meanwhile, Adrian looked at Zephyr sternly. The two of them faced each other in silence, and it seemed like the tension in the air could erupt at any moment. The onlookers around them did not speak either. The reason Adrian refrained from speaking was that he wanted to see what Zephyr would do.Zephyr then said, "You're quite arrogant, kid, and I like that.“Come out. I want you to teach him a lesson."At his command, a large man emerged from the sidelines. Onlookers turned their attention to the large man, noting his imposing stature.Seemingly unfazed, Adrian said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"Zephyr replied, "Why not? After all, we can’t talk this out."Adrian shrugged. "Fair enough. Since we can't talk it out, let's settle this through fists."As they were about to engage in battle, another person suddenly appeared and said, "Hold on." He positioned themselves between the two grou

    The man said, "It's simple really. I want to cooperate with you." Adrian was stunned. "Cooperate?" He had not anticipated the man to suddenly propose such an idea.The man continued, "Yes, I want to cooperate with you. I just hope you will agree to it." Adrian remained silent. After a moment, he let out a snort and said, "Fine, tell me about your proposition."The man seemed satisfied with this answer and nodded. He then signaled for Zephyr to leave, but Zephyr was reluctant to do so. The man urged him to leave, and with no alternative, Zephyr stamped his foot in annoyance before turning away and departing from the scene. Now, only two individuals remained on the scene—Adrian and the man. The other cafe patrons had retreated as well and were waiting outside the inn."What do you think? Is this enough to show my sincerity?" the man asked.Adrian replied, "I'll accept it. Now, tell me what this cooperation is about.”The person laughed. "Great. Let's discuss the details then.”

    In Adrian's eyes, everyone was equal. Therefore, his expression remained calm when he looked at Orion.Orion continued, "In theory, after you killed my family members, we should be seeking revenge. But because of my influence, my family chose not to take action. You should be thankful to me.""Your family tried to rob me and even threatened to kill me. Are you saying I should have used love to appease such enemies?" Adrian countered. Orion frowned. "I understand what you’re saying, but they were my family members. As a major influential family, we can't allow such incidents to occur. I hope you can understand that."Adrian was uninterested in engaging in further small talk and asked, "Weren't you here to discuss cooperation? Why bring up these matters? Or this is what you mean when you said you want to cooperate with me?" Orion chuckled. "Certainly not. Please calm down, Mr. Adrian. I didn't mean anything by it."Adrian retorted sternly, "Then get straight to the point. I don't

    Adrian answered, "What I want to know is simple. Tell me about your idea of cooperation. If I find it suitable, I'll be willing to cooperate. Otherwise, I won't. After that, I don't mind if you try to kill me."Orion seemed surprised by Adrian's words as he had never encountered someone making such a request. Voluntarily asking him and his family to kill him was beyond his comprehension. Nevertheless, Orion remained unruffled. After all, there were all kinds of people in this world, and maybe Adrian was unique.Since Adrian insisted on hearing his thoughts, Orion said, "All right, since you asked, I'll tell you. The reason we want to cooperate with you is to jointly deal with a person. Or rather...a group of people."Afraid that Adrian would decline, Orion continued, "This group of people is related to you, Mr. Adrian. They harbor some animosity toward you, and they want you dead too." Adrian cocked an eyebrow and said, "I'm new here, so why would anyone want me dead? Unless that

    Instead of doing it this way, it was better to temporarily cooperate with the Stormwatchers. At least the Stormwatchers were willing to stand by his side. Having them was much better than fighting alone.After some thought, Adrian asked, "What are you proposing?"Adrian's attitude was quite clear, and Orion, being a smart person, stood up after hearing his words. He reached out his hand toward Adrian and said, "I'll take this opportunity to wish us a pleasant cooperation."Standing up, Adrian extended his hand too. "Yes, to a pleasant cooperation."There was nothing more to say. Since both sides had reached an agreement, the next important step was to share information. Orion, who was clearly knowledgeable in this regard, led Adrian away from the place.When they stepped out of the inn, they saw Zephyr standing outside looking dissatisfied. "Is it really okay for you to do this, Orion? This guy killed one of our own!”Orion looked at Adrian and then smiled. "Zephyr, I think you s

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. 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

    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
