Chapter 2668

Author: Celestial Clouds
Noticing that Adrian had noticed her, Lyra smiled. She held two cans of beer. Holding out one, she asked, "Care for some?"

"Sure." Adrian accepted the can and downed its contents.

Lyra also took a big gulp. The night breeze tousled her hair as she looked up at the full moon, and her gaze in her eyes made her appear lost.

"I heard that you have a special fondness for full moon nights. Is that true?" she asked, turning to look at Adrian with a faint smile.

Adrian nodded.

"I lost my parents at a young age, so I have nothing but fragments of memories of them. I've tried my best to recall what happened, but there are only scattered clues. I remember someone was chasing us, and I was surrounded by a fire. The last thing I remember is my father's scream." Lyra chuckled and took another sip of her beer.

As she continued sharing her past, Adrian's attention was completely focused on the tattoo on her arm, and his heart skipped a beat. It was a totem worshiped by the people of Silver Pea

    Rupert rushed over. "What happened?!" he asked worriedly. However, Lyra had lost the ability to speak. She lay on the ground, writhing in pain and screaming.Rupert looked at Adrian and asked, “Did you do this?" His impulsiveness overshadowed any attempt to discern right from wrong. Seeing Adrian nearby, he immediately assumed it was Adrian who had hurt Lyra.Adrian shook his head and replied calmly, "It wasn't me—"However, Rupert did not believe him. "Stop defending yourself! You're the only one here. Who else other than you could have hurt her?"He swung his fist, intending to strike Adrian. Although Rupert was no match for Adrian, he had no intention of letting Adrian off. Seeing the attack coming, Adrian raised a brow. He knew Rupert was no match for him and understood that the latter’s current state was a result of impulse. Sidestepping, he easily avoided Rupert's attack.Lyra got up, shakily supporting herself, and she said, "It has nothing to do with him, Rupert…"After

    Rupert's voice echoed in everyone's ears. However, someone stood up to voice opposition. "What if there are too many of them and they’re too powerful? Wouldn't staying here be a dead end? In my opinion, we should evacuate!"Rupert countered, "Evacuate? Do you think we can find a safe place to go? It's dark right now, and there are countless enemies and monsters outside. If we go out now, what's the difference between that and walking into death?""Well, does staying here guarantee survival?""At least here, we have Mr. Adrian to protect us..." Standing by the window, Rupert's gaze followed the firelight into the distance. Meanwhile, Adrian arrived at the site of the explosion. Looking around, he found that besides the area becoming a ruin, there was nothing abnormal. In other words, the earlier explosion seemed like a common occurrence, not the appearance of enemies. He found this strange and silently criticized himself. After carefully observing for a while, he sensed something

    Boom! Boom! Boom!Suddenly, the enemies before him exploded. Countless crimson lights swept through, corroding the ground wherever they passed and forming a new barrier that enveloped Adrian."Oh? This is interesting," Adrian said. A terrifying figure then emerged and arrived beside him. Adrian observed that the enemies he had defeated earlier had come together to create a larger entity, and all the power from those individuals had gathered into this new monstrous form. This creature’s strength was ten times greater than his previous enemies. "Rrraaagh!" The creature let out a monstrous roar. In response, the distant jungle echoed with strange howls as multiple unknown entities answered it."Since there are so many of you, why hide in the bushes?! You should all come straight at me!" Adrian shouted. The monsters seemed to understand him, and countless figures slowly emerged from the distant jungle. They appeared in vast, overwhelming numbers. Adrian estimated that there were a

    Adrian noticed that the monsters' corpses transformed into solid shields and were capable of withstanding his attacks under the influence of the crimson light. As his sword energies wreaked havoc, more and more monsters fell to his blade. Simultaneously, the number of monsters being used as shields increased.In less than a moment, a massive and sturdy protective wall formed around the monsters. Although their advance was slow, their steps were firm. They steadily approached Adrian, quickly forcing him to the edge of the barrier. Another step back and he would be where Lyra and the others were. Adrian knew that he could not back down now.Filled with fierce battle intent, the monsters escalated their attacks and unleashed blood-red beams. Adrian could hold his ground against the attacks. However, he quickly realized that the enemies were not only attacking him but also targeting the barrier behind him.While the barrier was well-constructed, its power was limited due to the quantity

    "I must commend you for lasting as long as you have. However, resistance is futile in my presence," the king said in a voice that had an androgynous quality.They couldn’t discern if this person was truly the king. Despite having the king’s face, the figure before them had a monstrous and horrifying body."What's going on?"According to Adrian, the king was dead. Why was he appearing before them now, and in such a grotesque form?A powerful dark energy emanated from the king as he said, "Greetings, my subjects. You are the citizens of Silver Peak Island, so where do you think you're going?"The malevolence in the air shrouded the entire area, making it difficult for the people to breathe. Some weaker individuals instantly died, while others succumbed to the pressure and fell to their knees. The souls and blood of those who died flowed into the king and became a part of him.The king's face twisted into a grotesque expression, and an overwhelmingly powerful force erupted. "Tsk, ts

    He had been greatly humiliated in his previous battle with Adrian. If it were not for Adrian, he wouldn’t have to resort to using the sacrificial technique. But even that had failed to harm him. Adrian managed to escape unscathed.Had the king not encountered the ancestor after plunging into the abyss and received mercy—along with an augmentation in strength—he might have already met his demise/ The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.The king charged at Adrian with his fist raised high as he shouted, "You brat! Now that you've shown up, prepare to die!"The people inside the building also noticed Adrian and cheered excitedly."Look! It's Mr. Adrian!""Is it really him? Is he here to save us?"The king cast a disdainful glance at the people. "Do you really think you can escape from me? Minions, kill them!"After receiving their orders, the monsters turned toward Lyra and the others. When the monsters paused their attack earlier, Lyra and the others felt a brief mome

    Rupert's guess was correct. The group that appeared at this moment was indeed from Silverboa. Moments ago, Adrian had flown back to the camp at the fastest speed to call for reinforcements. He knew that with his current capabilities, it would be unrealistic to both face the enemy and rescue so many people. Therefore, he went back to rally everyone for support.The Silverboa team was delighted to receive a task from Adrian, especially Cassius. After all, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Due to the uncertainty of the enemy's strength, they decided to send half of their forces to provide support.As reinforcements arrived, the tense atmosphere began to relax."Do you think you can get away so easily?"Though the people had reinforcements, the monsters were unwilling to let them go. They regrouped and launched another attack.Observing the situation, Cassius analyzed, "Elijah, Micah, escort the civilians out. Ambrose and I will cover you.""Okay!" Elijah and Micah

    The king smirked coldly. As he took a step forward, another domineering aura burst forth.Adrian was caught off guard and was forced back, the blood in his body pumping violently. ‘He’s strong!’Adrian was overwhelmed by fear. At the same time, an even more domineering gust of wind swept over. The king seemed to have turned into a meteor, carrying an unprecedentedly powerful aura as he pressed toward Adrian.Adrian tried to resist, but the opponent's reaction seemed to surpass his expectations.Bam!Caught off guard, Adrian was struck. Like a kite with a broken string, he flew backward.‘This guy…’ He now truly realized that this person had completely transformed and was no longer the same king of Silver Peak Island as before. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this strong.Fortunately, Adrian was not weak. Although this move caused his entire body to be in turmoil, it did not kill him. He quickly stabilized himself.But at this moment, the opponent's second wave of attacks came. Adrian

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?"

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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 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.
