Chapter 3028

Author: Celestial Clouds
One of the first rules in Leafall was that neither warriors nor ordinary people were allowed to carry swords on them.

Naturally, this rule didn’t apply to individuals from Silverboa City, but strictly to those from Obscura City. Soldiers from Silverboa City, if unarmed in Leafall, risked facing fanatics native to the area. Being unarmed in such encounters would leave them at a disadvantage compared to when armed.

"Hey! Who are you?"

The first guard spoke up, but the person beside him gently pulled his sleeve, advising him, "Be careful! He might be from Silverboa City!"

Adrian walked toward the entrance of the Blazing Leaf Restaurant, meeting the gaze of those people. The security guards, whether cautious or suspicious of Adrian being from Silverboa City, became even more vigilant.

"I'm here to attend Miss Sherri's birthday banquet. There's no need for you to stop me," he said in the language of Obscura City.

Originally meant to express his identity, these words made the guards

    Adrian's words were like divine decrees. Mortals dared not disobey the words of the gods!Ultimately, they were doing this all for a paycheck. To risk one's life for such a meager salary was foolish. This was truly a case of the cost outweighing the benefits.After hearing Adrian's words, the few security guards looked at each other and chose to remain silent unanimously.After passing through the guard posts of a few unperceptive security guards, Adrian entered the Blazing Leaf Restaurant.Leafall could only be considered a small city. It was quite inferior compared to the cities in Silverboa City, let alone Adrian's hometown. Although the population was large, various facilities were far behind. Thus, in Adrian's eyes, this top hotel in Leafall seemed a bit too ordinary.Fortunately, Adrian was not the kind of person who sought pleasure. He came out today just to relax himself.Upon entering the somewhat luxurious hotel lobby, he saw many people. They were all decently dressed,

    Although he couldn't change Sherri, he thought of another approach. That was to change Adrian!Adrian was either an ordinary person or a noble from out of town. The latter possibility was very small, and if Adrian was just an ordinary person, then things would be much simpler.This person seemed to be quite well-mannered. After walking up to Adrian, he smiled and asked, "Can I sit next to you?"Adrian was about to shake his head, but the man said, "I believe you won't mind."He then sat down on his own.Adrian felt a little helpless as he looked around, wondering if he should find another place to sit. But the other person had already spoken. "I heard you are Sherri's friend?" Adrian squinted and turned to face this seemingly strange fellow. Could it be that this person came for Sherri?Adrian smirked and thought it was a bit boring to just sit and wait for the banquet to end. Perhaps playing along with someone wouldn't hurt."Indeed, I am her friend," Adrian replied indiffere

    Lloyd finally realized something. For a moment, a chill arose in his heart.From Silverboa City? He was so young, and there was a long sword at his waist. Could this guy be the legendary fiend of Silverboa City?After careful consideration, things didn’t match up. If Adrian was the fiend from Silverboa City, how could he be friends with Sherri? And how could he appear at such a banquet?According to legend, wouldn't that fiend from Silverboa City be a ruthless killer and exceedingly hostile toward people from Obscura City? He definitely wouldn't appear there!After thinking it through, he breathed a sigh of relief. The man in front of him named Adrian definitely couldn't be that fiend from Silverboa City!Adrian stared at Lloyd, observing his expression, and found that he hadn't realized his identity. He raised an eyebrow.He previously felt bored and was ready to reveal his identity to end this unnecessary rivalry, but this man was still clueless. Thus, he played along."You're

    Adrian sneered at Lloyd. Whatever Adrian said was just nonsense. Adrian was simply dissatisfied with Lloyd's condescending attitude.If it weren't for Lloyd's sudden appearance and his unnecessary demands, Adrian would have definitely complied with his wishes and left Sherri's side. And indeed, he wouldn't even be friends with her. After all, Adrian would leave Leafall soon.But Lloyd's request ignited a rebellious spirit in Adrian. He wasn't the kind of person who would agree to something just because someone said it. If someone wanted Adrian to do something, they would have to show their sincere attitude!Adrian really didn't like Lloyd's attitude."I'm the governor's son, and you're just a commoner from Silverboa City. How dare you defy me!""Wrong! I'm from Silverboa City, and you're just the son of the governor of Obscura City!" Adrian mocked. "It doesn’t matter that you’re the governor's son. Even if you were the governor himself, you wouldn't have the qualifications to make

    Lloyd turned around and looked at Sherri, who had completely ignored him. He looked embarrassed.He had always been prideful. Although he came from a good background, he had never bullied others because of his status. Moreover, due to his love for poetry, he had some understanding of the classical culture of Obscura City. He even considered himself a poet!People with such high self-regard often cared a lot about their reputation. Therefore, when they were ignored by others, their inner sense of shame was often stronger than that of others.But Sherri just treated him as her ordinary friend. The two families had some cooperative relations, and their relationship was usually quite good. But Sherri had no intention of taking it further. Naturally, she ignored Lloyd's feelings, which escalated the situation.Sherri approached Adrian and said excitedly, "Mr. Adrian, I thought you wouldn't come!"Adrian shook his head. Upon listening to her soft voice, combined with Sherri's cute face,

    Unfortunately, there weren't many people in this world who understood Adrian's helplessness. Most of them just thought that Adrian was a stubborn man who couldn't appreciate romance!Hilary, who had been following Sherri all along, had a faint smile. Tonight, she had gathered her friends and companions just to witness the scene that was unfolding before her eyes. Seeing what was happening, she felt exceedingly satisfied!She secretly observed the others while keeping an eye on Adrian. She hoped that Adrian would say something more decisive to thoroughly upset Sherri. This way, Sherri would definitely be embarrassed at her birthday banquet. She would have no chance to compete with her in the futureThe culture of Obscura City was somewhat different from that of Silverboa City. They were deeply influenced by the previous dynasties of Silverboa City, although they had also been heavily influenced by the Flambeau Kingdom in recent years.But overall, the core of Obscura City's culture

    Lloyd was a self-proclaimed poet and artistic youth, and he fancied Sherri. He grimaced when Sherri rebuked him and even started trembling."I didn't mean that—" Lloyd tried to explain, but Sherri was already angry because of what he said to Adrian. She didn't give Lloyd a chance to explain at all."Mr. Adrian is my invited guest. If I have any dissatisfaction, I'll deal with it myself. It's none of your business!" Sherri said coldly, showing no mercy.Lloyd felt confused by the situation unfolding before him. He hadn't anticipated Sherri, who had always been kind to him, speaking such words because of a man she had only known for a few days. A sense of hopelessness washed over him, his face paling.Hilary saw Lloyd's reaction to Sherri's words and muttered, "What a waste!" Sherri's pursuit of Adrian had not yet been fully revealed, which didn't fit Hilary's plan. Thus, she suddenly spoke up, "Sherri! Don't be too impulsive. There are so many people watching tonight. You shouldn'

    "It's okay, let him talk. Men always have a strong desire to show off!" Even though they had lowered their voices, Adrian still clearly heard their conversation. He squinted. When he first saw Hilary, he felt that something was off. Because her attitude didn't seem like that of an ordinary best friend. After all, for her, he was a completely unfamiliar person.Yet she was still finding various ways to encourage Sherri to approach him. If she were really Sherri's best friend, why would she do such a thing? Could it be that her intention was to make him reject Sherri, thus making Sherri sad or humiliating her?He was very familiar with the culture of Obscura City. If he didn't understand his enemies, how could he defeat them?Thinking of this, he realized that tonight's events might develop into something more complicated. He then smiled coldly.Following Hilary's suggestion, Sherri sat next to Adrian. She maintained an elegant posture and softly asked, "Mr. Adrian, your sword seem

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?

    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.

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. 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.
