Chapter 2674

Author: Celestial Clouds
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

    Quintin then asked, "There's something I don't understand. If we withdraw, then this war—"But before he could finish, he realized that there were people from Silver Peak Island present. So, he immediately shut his mouth.Lyra shook her head and said, "It's okay. Silver Peak Island has changed now."The events that had occurred had left them hopeless over Silver Peak Island. If it weren't for Adrian and the others sacrificing themselves to save them, they would probably have already perished without a burial ground.Adrian suddenly asked, "Is there a need to continue this war?""Umm..." Quintin was stunned and didn't know how to answer.He knew that since things had developed to this point, there was indeed no need to continue the war. Silver Peak Island was now in ruins and was essentially already finished. The only target now was the demonized king of Silver Peak Island. He was the one to be eliminated—he was now their number-one enemy!Quintin said, "That's right. At this poi

    The crowd looked at each other and quickly understood. They knew that what Adrian said was correct. After all, the enemy was extremely powerful, and there were quite a lot of people here. If they couldn't successfully get away, then everyone might perish here. Understanding this deeply, the crowd didn't linger and quickly moved toward the boats as quickly as they could."What about you, Adrian?" Lyra asked. She knew that with her level of abilities, she couldn’t help him. But if she just left, she wouldn't be at ease either.Adrian looked at her, his expression as calm as water. "I will have a life-and-death battle with him," he answered decisively.Lyra bit her lip as her brows furrowed as if she were thinking about something. After a moment, she pricked her finger and dripped blood onto the emerald pendant on her chest. Something strange then happened.At a visible speed, the originally flawless emerald pendant started glowing red. It looked like it had been stained, adding a u

    With a wave, the aura tore apart the heavens and earth, pressing forward aggressively.Adrian's expression turned solemn. "Well done."He knew that the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated. He decided to adopt a more conservative approach. He shielded himself with the Divine Frost Slayer Blade.Clang!The two weapons collided, releasing a crisp sound.Swish swish swish!At the moment of the clash, Adrian saw countless sword rays rushing toward him like a tide. Although the king only swung once, countless sword essences appeared. Each move was aimed at Adrian's vital points. Their destructive power was so formidable that he felt slight terror despite seeing through the situation.Fortunately, Adrian's strength was formidable enough to withstand this move. If it were someone else, they would have been dismembered on the spot.‘No, this person is too strong. I can't confront him head-on!’ Adrian thought.When confronting an enemy of this level, one had to attack the o

    He disappeared and arrived before Adrian in the blink of an eye. Then, he grabbed Adrian and lifted him from the ground.Adrian felt as if a giant pair of iron tongs had clamped down on him. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't get away. In fact, he didn’t have the strength to struggle as he was being suppressed by a mysterious and unpredictable force. As long as this force existed, Adrian couldn't move a muscle.The king smirked victoriously. "Don’t worry, I won't kill you right now. I'm going to take you somewhere to make the best use of you.”"Why you..." Adrian managed to spit out with difficulty. But he was currently at the mercy of others and couldn't break free, so he could only let the other party manipulate him.Adrian secretly thought, ‘Well, I’ll just let him take me wherever he wants then.’It wasn't because Adrian had another trump card up his sleeve, but because he knew he had no other choice. Since that was the case, he might as well go with the flow and see wher

    The king smiled coldly and said, "It seems like you've resigned yourself to your fate. In that case, I'll send you on your way!"He threw Adrian toward the giant demon. Adrian didn't resist and allowed himself to be thrown because he found that as he got closer to the demon, the power within the emerald pendant became stronger. It seemed that the emerald pendant was resonating with the demon in some strange way. Since that was the case, Adrian wasn’t worried.As Adrian flew toward the demon, he saw the demon open its eyes. The enormous eyes stared directly at Adrian as if looking at an insignificant ant. Then, an intense rumbling sound erupted. The colossal monster slowly extended its hand toward Adrian. The hand was so huge that it covered the sky.In just an instant, the demon caught him, and an incredibly powerful pressure enveloped him. Under this terrifying pressure, Adrian felt as if he had no choice but to be at the mercy of others."Respected ancestor, I offer this sacrific

    The king decided to take action.Adrian waved and said, "I’ve never seen anyone come to their death so proactively. In that case, I'll grant you your wish!"The king felt a powerful force surge toward him from a distant place. And most importantly, this force felt extremely familiar to him."Hmm?" He frowned, quickly realizing that something was wrong.Suddenly, with a flicker, the force arrived before him. The king was caught off guard, and he was instantly pierced through.Stab!While the king was still in shock, a sharp blade appeared in Adrian's hand. It was a long and slender blade, resembling flickering flames, instantly exuding immense intimidation."This… This is the Inferno Slayer Blade!” the king exclaimed in disbelief.What Adrian was holding was indeed the blade known as the Inferno Slayer Blade. This blade was a legendary weapon of Silver Peak Island. It was extremely powerful and was specifically used to restrain evil spirits.When Adrian was caught by the ancest

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

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.

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.
