Author: Celestial Clouds
The group then found a secluded spot and sat down.

Someone asked, "Who were those guys and why are they doing this?"

"No need to guess. The guy who ambushed us was Ralph Kines," Adrian said.

Upon hearing this revelation, shock rippled through the crowd. Adrian then produced a corpse and put it on the ground. As everyone gathered around, he carefully removed the mask, exposing Ralph's face.

"How could this be…"

"There's nothing to be surprised about. From the first time I saw him, I knew he would end up like this one day. I just can’t believe he really did it," Alfie said.

"So what do we do now?" someone asked.

"Maybe we can ask Mr. Dakota for help," Frosch suggested.

"Mr. Dakota? Who’s that?" Adrian asked.

“He's a mysterious elder. According to the Weber traditions, if the Nine Dragons break the seal, we can seek help from him," Frosch explained.

Adrian nodded. It seemed that this man called Dakota possessed extraordinary status and identity.

"Alright, let's look for him,

    Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before them."Who is it?!" Adrian shouted.Adrian had been on high alert throughout their journey. As soon as the shadow flashed by, he instantly unsheathed the Radiant Light Sword. The shadow disappeared around the corner, but despite its disappearance, Adrian remained vigilant. After all, he knew that the shadow was real and not an illusion.Glancing at Lamar, Adrian gestured for the former to stay put while he went to investigate. Holding his breath, Adrian advanced. As soon as he reached the corner, a cry of distress came from behind him."Mr. Adrian!"Understanding instantly dawned upon Adrian. 'Oh no! It's a diversion!' He whipped around to see a shadow flying toward Lamar, who was so terrified that he fell to the ground.Adrian quickly hurled his sword toward the assailant. Sensing the imminent danger, the shadow roared and abandoned its attack on Lamar. Adrian had not expected the shadow to employ diversion tactics to draw him away from Lam

    Cameron fell silent, then asked, "Are you related to the Webers?"Adrian frowned. Before he could say anything, Lamar piped up, "We are the Webers, and these are our friends from beyond the Dragon Domain.""So, you're a Weber. Thank goodness I’ve finally found you." Cameron's eyebrows relaxed, and his attitude suddenly became much warmer. They could even hear the excitement in his voice, and this sudden change puzzled Adrian and Lamar greatly.Cameron sensed their confusion and explained, "My senior instructed me to wait here before he left. He told me the Webers would arrive shortly and that I had to protect you. I didn't expect you to come so soon. How are the Webers currently?""We…" Lamar lowered his head.Although Lamar had not explicitly stated it, Cameron noticed something was off and said sternly, "Who did it? I'll help avenge you!" Adrian shook his head and replied, "The opponent is too powerful. You alone are not their match. We barely escaped from there and can't go b

    The sight of the base was magnificent. A huge array appeared and disappeared intermittently on top of the mountain ridge. It gathered the aura essence from the surroundings. Only a major faction like Nautica could employ such a grand array. The arrays around the Webers’ and Mulfords’ residences were hardly worth mentioning against Nautica’s."This is the Lonely Wind Ridge, and it is under Nautica’s control. Follow me, everyone," Cameron said.Though Adrian was not as strong as before, his senses were still sharp, and he felt the air around him buzz. Then, in the blink of an eye, the scenery changed. They were now standing at the foot of the Lonely Wind Ridge, and before them stretched a long flight of stone steps leading to the summit. "This... This is amazing!" Lamar exclaimed. Cameron chuckled. "Indeed it is. This is a technique exclusive to the members of Nautica. Once you’ve joined the faction, you'll be able to do the same. As long as you're within the array that surrounds

    As they walked, Adrian noticed that Nautica had quite a few members. Soon, they arrived at the Heavenly Wind Pavilion. However, the gates of the pavilion were tightly shut, indicating that no one was inside."Please wait for a moment. The elders will be here soon," Cameron said.Since they had started their journey up the mountain, they had not stopped moving until they reached the Heavenly Wind Pavilion’s gates. Now, they finally had a chance to rest. Some of the group had to sit and catch their breath, but Adrian showed no signs of fatigue. He just stood quietly.At first, Cameron thought Adrian was hiding his exhaustion. However, he realized that Adrian's breathing was normal and balanced after observing him for a while. It seemed he truly was not tired at all.Adrian then noticed a few people approaching from afar. Cameron thought those people were the elders, but upon closer inspection, he realized they were not."Good to see you, Cameron!"One of the people who approached w

    Adrian was confused, but Dakota just smiled and asked instead, "Young friend, you must be from the outside world.""That's right." Adrian nodded. "We noticed anomalies in the Nine Dragons Secret Realm, so we came to explore and seek treasures. We never expected to encounter these events.""I see." Dakota nodded.Despite this, everyone was still confused.Dakota gestured toward the grand hall behind him and continued, “Now that you are here, follow me to the main hall. All the secrets are hidden inside."Everyone looked toward the magnificent hall. They nodded as this was their only way to get the answers they wanted. The group followed Dakota into the hall, and as the doors slowly opened, they felt a powerful force emanating from within."What is…" Adrian began, but before he could finish his sentence, the expanding force enveloped him. In the next second, he felt like he had traveled back to a distant era where war dominated the land."Evil dragons, you have brought calamity up

    The illusionary scene Adrian’s group witnessed was a playback of the ancient battle between powerful beings against the evil dragons. After a fierce battle, the dragons were slain. However, their souls remained and the ancient beings could only seal them away. Nautica served as the core of these seals. If Nautica was destroyed, the entire Dragon Domain would be in danger as all the nine dragon souls would be released. Suddenly, everyone felt dizzy. In the next second, they returned to reality. Most of them could not shake off the images they had seen. The intense battle scene was deeply ingrained in their minds and left them awestruck.Dakota said, “You’ve come from far away, so please take the time to rest today. We'll discuss further matters tomorrow morning.""Okay," Adrian replied.*The next morning, what was expected to be a quiet day turned out to be unexpectedly eventful. Outside the gates of Nautica stood a diminutive figure. It was a man with a balding head and a sleazy

    Sword rays filled the sky, intercepting the Spectral Companion's attacks one after another. Zachary shuddered; the inland factions proved formidable indeed. Even the apprentices guarding the base entrance were exceptionally strong. In comparison, the Scarlet Summit seemed as insignificant as ants.Without hesitation, Zachary resumed chanting. The Spectral Companion received a command and roared wildly before soaring into the air and charging toward the apprentices. With three heads and six arms, it gnashed its teeth and swiped its claws, appearing intent on devouring them all.The apprentices immediately sensed the fierce aggression emanating from the rushing Spectral Companion.Boom! Boom! Boom!Before they could react, the Spectral Companion had already struck at them. The forceful punches nearly suffocated them. The apprentices scattered and fled, doing their utmost to evade the Spectral Companion's attacks.Despite its immense size, the Spectral Companion was agile. Although t

    Immediately afterward, several individuals flew over from a distance—the elders of Nautica had arrived.The apprentices stood up and saluted, saying, "Greetings, elders—"They intended to apologize. After all, as apprentices of Nautica, it was quite embarrassing to be beaten up like this by someone from a small faction. At the same time, they also felt astonished. They hadn't expected their elders to appear.Besides Azure, Nautica had four other elders. One of them, Edward, waved and said, "It's okay. You all can step back for now. We'll handle this."The apprentices didn't argue and left in a hurry. Edward approached Zachary as the latter stood up. The impact from earlier made Zachary sore all over. If he hadn’t protected himself with his mana, he might have been seriously injured.Feeling angry, Zachary said, "How could the people of Nautica be so disrespectful?!"However, despite his anger, he didn't dare to make another move. The previous blow had already proved that his stre

    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
