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

But soon, Adrian returned safely to them. Everyone was delighted.Adrian then shared his experience with them. After listening, everyone was shocked. They never expected such secrets to be hidden within the island.But after all that had happened, there were still many things left to do. Adrian decided to accompany Lyra to her mother's hometown, thinking there would be more discoveries there.But just as Adrian decided to head to Mudstone Village, Lyra hesitated. She lowered her head and looked at her blood-stained clothes, her expression turning ugly."If it's because I hurt you, you can refuse me. I'll..." Adrian narrowed his eyes."Hmph!" Lyra snorted coldly and turned to walk toward the nearby Blood River. "You don't even know what you've done," she grumbled.Curious, Adrian followed and saw Lyra begin to undress when she reached the edge of the river."What are you doing?" he asked in confusion."My clothes are covered in blood. When I get back, the chief and the others su

"Is that mountain peak our landmark?" Adrian asked."The village is at the foot of Cloud Puff Mountain," Lyra replied.After that, the two fell silent. Lyra occasionally turned to glance at Adrian with an inexplicable look. Although he had lost his fighting spirit, he could still sense her gaze on him. But he also knew that even if he asked, she probably wouldn't tell him what she was thinking.Things were becoming a bit strange, and Adrian became more vigilant.After walking for more than an hour, the two finally emerged from the rainforest and came upon a large open space. In the clearing were some wooden and bamboo huts with smoke rising from their chimneys.Judging by the number of houses, Adrian estimated that the village had a population of about a thousand. He speculated that if everyone here was close to Lyra's level, which was the eighth level, then things would be troublesome.And what Adrian saw next confirmed his speculation. Although not everyone was at the eighth le

"You don’t need to worry about that,” Adrian replied calmly."Nonsense! All warriors are schemers. I think we should capture you and burn you to death!" Duo shouted.Adrian frowned at this intense hostility toward outsiders, and Duo was probably no exception. He looked around, seeing that many people had noticed him. However, their gaze couldn't be described as cautious or scrutinizing. They looked like they were gazing at a monster. They wanted to kill him, just like Duo.If it weren't for the strong middle-aged bearded man suppressing them, they might have already attacked. If that happened, Adrian would be forced to kill some of them before escaping."What we do with him is up to the chief. Remember the rules of the village!" Lyra's father turned to glare at Duo.Duo didn't dare to cause trouble in front of this man and instantly fell silent. The others didn’t say a word either, apparently agreeing with the old man."Come with me." The man turned and walked toward the village

He came to have a deep impression of this place."So that's how it is.” The old man nodded. "But if you want to leave, it’ll be a little troublesome.”"Why?" "Because all the people who came to this place previously died. Their bones are buried in the mountain." The old man looked at Adrian with a half smile.The man had a formidable aura and unwavering determination. Adrian could finally confirm that he was a ninth-level powerhouse. Suppressing his impulse to draw the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and fight the old man to the death, Adrian shook his head and said, "No matter why they came here and why they died, I don't think there’s any need for you to kill me.""Why not?""Because I won't do anything to harm you.”The old man smiled disdainfully. "Your existence is itself a disadvantage, and you don't understand anything.""What do I not understand? Please, enlighten me," Adrian asked.However, instead of answering, the old man shifted the topic. "Not bad. You are brave. The l

"Are you going to ask me why Mudstone is unwilling to use this token to leave this world?" the old man asked in return.Adrian nodded. This old man was surely a freak who had lived for goodness knows how many years."I will tell you the answer when you get back, provided you come back alive, of course," the old man said smilingly."That’s a fair trade." Adrian stood up and nodded to the old man.‘That’s how everything seems on the surface,’ he added to himself.Entering a place where there was a one in ten chance of survival, finding precious items, and exchanging them for the Dragon Token in the old man's hands. For Adrian, it was fair. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the old man's request. The old man could have lent those before him the token, thus allowing them to leave this place. In that case, those previous people wouldn't have died here either. But in this world, there was never anything given for free, and for Adrian, both a gratuitous gift and a fair trad

Lyra put down her utensils and walked worriedly to the room next door. It was a single-story wooden house, with simple furnishings and only two rooms."I'm sorry to inconvenience you by having you stay in the hall before departure," Sion said, putting down his utensils before leaving the house.The daily routine here was the same as where they came from. According to Mudstone’s calendar, they would set off for the secret realm in the mountain in half a month.Adrian put down his utensils. For over two hundred years, though thirty people went in each year, only three people came out alive. How many treasures similar to the Dragon Token could these three people obtain each time? If it was assumed ten pieces each time, they would number a little over two thousand over the years. If it was five, it would be over a thousand. But regardless of the number, when three people come out, they should have brought back several items with them, so where are these items stored?Adrian smiled. If

Lyra was speechless. She knew Adrian's temperament, but how could he still be so arrogant in the presence of so many people? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?Duo looked toward Lyra. “Will you help him if I make a move?"Lyra thought for a moment. Since she still needed Adrian’s help, and he was the only one in the whole village who would do so, she nodded and said, "If you want to hurt Adrian, you'll have to kill me first."Duo's expression instantly turned gloomy. Behind him, the young people sneered. "Duo, we agreed to teach this outsider a lesson! Are you going to change your mind just because Lyra’s in the way?" Duo turned and shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?!""I’m implying that you like Lyra, so you dare not lay a hand on him," the man continued mockingly.Duo stared angrily at the man, then turned to look at Adrian, apparently ready to vent his anger on him.Adrian smiled and shook his head, drawing the Divine Frost Slayer Blade. There were some t

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 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

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

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
