Chapter 2650

Author: Celestial Clouds
Even with Adrian's extensive experience, he furrowed his brow slightly. The old man gave a melancholic smile but did not say much.

The big man asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Augustus? This matter has nothing to do with you."

Augustus shook his head. "You're wrong, Rupert. This matter is related to me. I have long anticipated the day when the wrongdoings of our king would be brought to light." His emotions spilled over. He trembled and slammed the ground with his cane several times.

The others started buzzing with discussions. After all, exposing their king’s crimes was equivalent to negating everything about Silver Peak Island. However, Augustus’ status was evidently high, and although people discussed the matter in hushed tones, they did not dare to step forward and refute him. Instead, they were curious, wanting to understand what exactly was happening.

Augustus perceived the confusion among the people and sighed. "Rupert, haven't you always wanted to know what happened to half of

    Looking at the crowd, Adrian said, "Now that you understand the situation, you should also understand what needs to be done next."Rupert and the others raised their heads. When they looked at Adrian, the hostility they previously harbored had vanished. Instead, a complex mixture of emotions took its place."Tell us what to do. As long as it's within our abilities, we won't disobey," Rupert said resolutely, and the others chimed in agreement.In a matter of minutes, over ten people expressed their willingness to follow Adrian and eliminate the enemy together. However, Adrian shook his head."I can't do that. If I let you go, it's like asking you to commit suicide,” he said, unwilling to let these ordinary people face such danger.Hearing this, Rupert said, "What's the matter? Do you think I'm incapable? I'll have you know that I'm quite strong."Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Okay, punch me then. If you can make me move back even one step, I'll take you with me." He then folded his a

    Rupert’s punch landed squarely on Adrian, and a powerful shockwave swept through the area. Everyone took a step back. After a long time, the dust settled. Everyone looked toward the center. Adrian still stood there like a monument. Rupert, on the other hand, maintained his punching stance. Rupert's mouth twitched, and he muttered, "This... This..."Even if he refused to admit it, Rupert had to concede at this point. Adrian's strength indeed far exceeded his understanding. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make Adrian budge."You're strong," Rupert said.Adrian replied, "The beasts outside are also quite powerful. If you can't even injure me, going out there would be like committing suicide, wouldn't it?""But…""I understand your intentions, but staying here is safer for now," Adrian said as he surveyed the surroundings. The people around him displayed a myriad of complex expressions. Then, he took out some spirit crystals from his pocket and handed them to the crowd."

    Adrian found a place to sit down and said, "Discuss this among yourselves and let me know when you're ready."Augustus sighed deeply. "The current situation is indeed quite troublesome. It's useless if you can only take him to the mountain base. The true core lies deep within, and you two are completely unaware of what lies inside the heart of the mountain.""If that's the case, then I'll trouble you to accompany me, Mr. Augustus," Adrian said.Augustus nodded.The reason Adrian decided to bring Augustus along was because he could see the thirst for revenge in the old man’s eyes. Augustus had been longing for revenge all this time. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, he had not been able to succeed in avenging himself. Given this opportunity, he certainly could not let it slip away easily."Everyone, rest assured. With my abilities, protecting Mr. Augustus is not a problem," Adrian said, "After everything is settled, I'll bring him back intact."Rupert was still worried about

    Adrian felt that he might have touched upon a sensitive topic. He quickly explained, "Please don't misunderstand. I’m just asking. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to."Though surprised, Augustus quickly regained his composure. He sighed and said, "If it will bring us a better life, I wouldn't mind Silverboa managing Silver Peak Island. The war has only brought disasters to this place."Adrian asked such a question to understand how the commoners of Silver Peak Island viewed this war, and their perspectives were quite interesting. Rupert, who was initially hostile, had a significant change of heart after learning about his ruler’s actions. As for Augustus, he had opposed the war from the beginning.After chatting for a while, they entered the sacred mountain. Ahead was a wide mountain road, and Adrian was about to walk toward it when Augustus stopped him. "Don't go that way. It leads to death."Adrian asked, "Why? Is there danger on this road?""Yes, it may seem like a

    Augustus continued to lead Adrain forward as if nothing happened. After going some ways, Adrian finally could not hold back."Where are you taking me, Mr. Augustus? Even if we're taking a smaller path, we should at least be heading in the direction of the sacred mountain. We're going in the opposite direction. What's going on?" he asked.Augustus was stunned. He froze in place and stared blankly as if turned to stone. Adrian remained silent as he observed Augustus' reaction. They locked eyes for a moment, and silence seemed to fill the air. Adrian's intuition was telling him that this seemingly serene path was not as peaceful as it appeared.Rrrraaaggggh! Suddenly, a roar shattered the silence. Debris and dust filled the air, accompanied by a massive shadow.Adrian lightly stomped the ground and floated into the air. "You've finally shown your true colors." He scoffed.Augustus smirked wickedly as a colossal shadow coiled around him. Adrian saw that it was an enormous snake. The

    Attacks were launched one after another. The giant snake couldn’t cope with such relentless attacks. Before long, it let out a piercing and miserable scream and turned into ashes.To unleash such a powerful force showed how terrifying Adrian was. After the giant snake completely turned to ashes, only its beast core slowly floated in mid-air."Even mosquitoes have flesh. That snake’s strength wasn’t too shabby." Adrian saw the core, and without any hesitation, devoured it.After all, the giant snake was an extremely rare Variant with quite formidable strength. Devouring its core would still be quite helpful for Adrian. However, Adrian did not absorb it right now. Compared to trivial matters, he had more important things to do.He descended to the ground, then with a cold smile, he said to the surroundings, "Mr. Augustus, why did you lure me here? It's time to give me an answer!” His voice was cold as if it came from the depths of Hell.Carrying an unparalleled sense of dominance, A

    But despite his shock, Adrian coldly countered, "So what? I was already strong to begin with. It's you who relies on such despicable means to become stronger. Do you really think you're amazing? Even if twice as many people came, you still wouldn't be able to do anything to me."These words struck at the depths of Augustus' heart, and he became instantly embarrassed. It was evident that he disliked what Adrian had said.Augustus glared fiercely at Adrian and gritted his teeth, saying, "You all looked down on me. From now on, I will make you see. I will make all of you submit to me!"He was furious, and his eyes showed an unusually fierce look. After a pause, he continued, "And I'll start with you. You’re strong. If I can absorb your power and use it to deal with the king and his men, all of Silver Peak Island will be under my control."Hearing this, Adrian finally understood why this man was so angry. Augustus was not highly looked upon in the past because he was weak. Even in the

    “Adrian! If you’re that strong, come out and face me!" Augustus shouted as he looked around. But he couldn’t find any trace of Adrian, and unfortunately, Adrian didn't respond. Augustus felt like he was talking to himself and got even angrier. "Since you won't come out, then I'll have them kill you!"With that, he commanded his group to launch attacks wildly in all directions. However, their attacks were all in vain. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't touch Adrian. It was as if he had truly disappeared.After attacking wildly for a while, they still gained nothing. It seemed like Adrian had left."Damn it..." Augustus cursed as he noted the forest ravaged by their attacks.However, at this moment, a voice came from the sky."Haha! I used this method to deal with others before. Using it on you guys seems quite appropriate!"It was Adrian's voice, and it instantly attracted the group’s attention. The angry Augustus wanted to attack Adrian, but no matter how hard he trie

    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. 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
