The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2721
"Come on, Adrian!" Lyra urged Adrian, her face pale.They ran into Thalia and her group as soon as they came down from Cloud Puff Mountain. Had it not been for Frederick and the others’ arrival, they might not have gotten away from Thalia. When Adrian noticed that no one was coming, he slowed down. However, Lyra remained vigilant and continued to urge him to move faster. After a while, they were within the vicinity of Mudstone Village. When they arrived at the village entrance, several villagers noticed them and were shocked to see them covered in blood."What happened? Did you two run into beasts or something?" a middle-aged woman asked, approaching Lyra with concern and grabbing her hand.Lyra breathed a sigh of relief upon having returned to her village, but she was unsure of how to answer the woman’s questions. After all, Adrian had just killed several people from Blade's Reach. Though the three villages had conflicts during their annual expeditions into the secret realm, they

Lyra led Adrian back to her home. When her mother saw Lyra return, she burst into tears. Lyra had slipped out of the house the day before, causing her mother to worry all night. Considering the perilous events of today, those concerns were justified. If not for a fortunate turn of events, she and Adrian might have met their demise in Cloud Puff Mountain.When Sion saw Lyra, he was first relieved, and then a surge of rage washed over him. After scolding Lyra, he grounded her to her room, ordering her not to step out for the next month except for meals.Then, he sat with Adrian and asked, "What happened? Did you find Blade's Reach’s treasure?"Adrian shook his head. He could lie to the villagers, but deceiving Sion or the village chief was a risk he was not willing to take."Elio wanted to kill me, so I killed him," Adrian replied.Sion fell silent. Adrian's unexpected honesty left him at a loss for words."We then continued with the search. Though Frederick didn't attack me, I kne

When the pair got back to Mudstone, it was barely evening. However, Sion did not return from the village chief's residence even after night fell.Lyra walked out of her room, looking anxiously in the direction of the chief's place."Why are you out here? Go back to your room!" Lyra's mother shouted.Lyra’s mother, Jess, was usually of few words. Adrian had not heard her speak much, and she would not initiate conversations with him. However, she was noticeably more talkative today due to her worry for Lyra.Upon hearing Jess’ words, Lyra returned to her room with a sulky expression.Jess glanced coldly at Adrian, wishing that he would disappear from her home. She was already distressed that her husband had been selected for the expedition to the secret realm this year, and Adrian's unexplained appearance just made things worse for her family. She believed that he was the one who led her daughter astray. Otherwise, Lyra would not have sneaked out and nearly died in the process.Adr

Adrian smiled bitterly at the thought.While Adrian was strategizing on this side, something was happening in the chief's residence.“What is that?" Sion asked. The chief got up from his cushion and gazed up at the roof. This was a familiar aura, and in an instant, he sensed who it was. Like Adrian, he could detect the identity of the attacker through flowing light."I'll go check it out," the chief said with a relaxed smile.Although that person was like a god to them, times had changed. He was no longer the feeble ant he was two centuries ago, and the other party was not as terrifying as the legends suggested. Since that was the case, there was nothing to fear.Walking out of his house, the chief looked toward the direction of the light and swiftly flew toward it.Sion exited too, his expression dark. He had just been discussing with the chief concerning Adrian, and before they could reach a conclusion, they were attacked. Gazing at the sky, he sensed that Adrian’s arrival wa

These villagers were nothing to him compared to the countless treasures in his house. "I'll say it one last time. Leave, or I will kill you," the chief said, his expression turning darker with every passing second. "If you were as confident as you appeared, you wouldn't ask me to leave. I know you well," Thalia said."So, are you determined to be enemies with my village?" "Hah! You insects have been hiding near my residence for years, stealing who knows how many things from me. It's time for me to take them back!" Thalia retorted.While Thalia confronted the chief, her two underlings entered the village. Adrian, who had come out earlier, sensed the two formidable auras at the village entrance. He looked around, knowing that it was time for him to leave."Run, Adrian! That monstrous girl must be here to capture you!" Lyra shouted to Adrian through the window in her room.Adrian nodded. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a commotion behind him. It was the sound of
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2726
Someone behind Adrian spoke in a deep voice.The feeling of being at the mercy of others was extremely unpleasant. So after Adrian heard the conversation between the two, he turned around and attacked one of them. He was not one to tolerate being at the mercy of others. He would do anything to survive. No matter how slim the chances of success were, Adrian would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.The person blocking Adrian drew the Lunar Edge from around his waist and growled with gritted teeth, "You’re seeking death!" In his eyes, Adrian was just an eight-level weakling. Although this level of strength would be considered peerless in the outside world, as the chief of the Mudstone Village said to Thalia, things were different here. Adrian's strength was far inferior to theirs and was thus doomed."That sword is wasted in your hands." Adrian sneered. His figure flashed, and he appeared beside one of the attackers.Clang!There was a clash of blades. Adrian's str
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2727
Meanwhile, in a mysterious location…"It's been over two hundred years. I didn't expect you to be able to contend with me now." Thalia smiled coldly, appearing relaxed.But anyone could see that the battle with Fynn Collier, Mudstone Village’s chief, was not easy. The pressure on Thalia was immense as her current combat power was below that of a warlord. She had no intention of killing Fynn but to delay him as much time as possible so that her subordinates could capture Adrian."Stop spouting nonsense. I know what you're thinking. You just want to delay me, don't you?" Fynn said.Thalia paused for a moment, then asked coldly, "Since you know this, why aren’t you going to save that kid?""Hehe, he will prove useless to me if he gets captured by your men. I want to see him get away in one piece on his own. Otherwise, how do I know if he’s worth my investment?" Fynn said with a cold smile.Thalia's expression suddenly turned gloomy. Fynn had already seen through her plans and was us
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2728
Thalia didn't know if this was a scene from the past or the future, but whatever the case, she was determined to kill Adrian right here and now. She didn’t know if she would ever have such an opportunity again."Since you've seen through my intentions, how about we make a deal?" After a moment of contemplation, Thalia began to negotiate with Fynn."A deal?" Fynn’s eyes lit up with interest.Although Thalia hated Fynn—even more than she did Adrian—she suppressed her feelings. This guy had been a Warlord all his life. He was far inferior to her during her peak. But Adrian was different, so she had to deal with Adrian first."I'll give you ten treasures if you let me take Adrian.""Only ten?" Fynn said, clearly unsatisfied with this number.After a moment of silence, Thalia said, "Thirty, and that's my final offer."She felt somewhat distressed. Over the years, her treasure trove had been plundered by these three villages. She didn't know how many items had been stolen. It must hav

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4807
"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
