Chapter 3135

Author: Celestial Clouds
"Your Majesty, the barriers within the city remain intact," a soldier reported to Quintin.

Quintin gazed up at the sky, then waved, signaling his understanding. "Still no progress?" he muttered to himself.

Unaware of Adrian's actions within the city, Quintin understood that the situation inside posed challenges even for Adrian. Hearing the news of the barriers' security, Quintin didn't dwell on it. The delay of a week was inconsequential; he had ample time. Sandstone City stood as the greatest impediment to his conquest of Obscura. Overcoming it was imperative. Victory in the war was assured, just the method of achievement remained in question.

Dispatching Adrian reflected Quintin's desire for a flawless victory. If Adrian failed, Quintin wouldn't be disheartened. Opening the heavily guarded barriers within Sandstone within a week was a feat even Quintin believed he couldn't accomplish. Adrian was chosen simply because he was Adrian.

"No, he will succeed," Quintin murmured and chuc

    Outside the city, Quintin was fully prepared, clearly intent on capturing Sandstone in one swift move. Sid lacked the manpower to quell the internal turmoil. However, once the news spread, Harriett unexpectedly softened his previous tough stance toward the gangs and ordered the garrison troops not to intervene."What's going on, sir?" Harriett’s subordinates asked anxiously.According to patrol reports from the frontline, today was likely the decisive battle between the gangs in Sandstone City. They had held off for a long time, and if they didn't act today, they might not have another opportunity in the future. The entire garrison would undoubtedly face consequences from the enraged mayor, and maybe even Sid himself."Do not do anything, any of you. This is my final advice to you all." Harriett, considering the years spent with his comrades, gave them a subtle hint at the last moment."Sir Harriett..."After these words, Harriett left the garrison. His confidant and daughter were

    Adrian stood atop the city wall, observing Quintin's advancing army. Meanwhile, Sid led part of the resistance forces stationed at the edge of Sandstone, guarding against potential small-scale cavalry raids.Quintin’s large army, numbering over one hundred thousand, was positioned on the side of the city gate where Adrian stood guard. The main forces would launch their attack from this direction.In the midst of the massive crowd, Adrian scanned for Sid's figure. Though unfamiliar with Sid before, he had since learned what this great commander of Obscura looked like from propaganda posters upon arriving at Sandstone. However, Adrian couldn't spot Sid among the throng despite his keen eye.Not far from Adrian stood over ten thousand soldiers, ready to thwart any attempts to disrupt the central hub of the barriers once the war commenced. Dealing with these soldiers posed a challenge for Adrian. It was evident that he couldn’t do it alone, hence, the scene unfolding below his feet was

    Covered in blood, someone rushed to Clement's side, shouting wildly, "Sir, it's time to retreat!"Clement remained silent for a few moments, then commanded, "Initiate the final charge. The Universe Brotherhood won't hold out. Before the army arrives, crush their remaining strength. We'll become the dominant gang in Sandstone City.""We can't do that! In such circumstances, the military will attack us!" Clement's subordinate retained some sense."Do you doubt my judgment? Do you forget who brought us to this point in just one week?" Clement's stern expression silenced the person, who, despite feeling uneasy, chose to trust their leader."Everyone, charge with me!" Clement shouted.The Sable Emblem members were momentarily stunned, but their eagerness to fight overrode their thoughts. They surged forward, and those behind them followed suit. Over a thousand people rushed toward the Universe Brotherhood.The Universe Brotherhood members were bewildered, staring at the approaching Sa

    As Adrian pressed forward with his sword, the three thousand guards at the central hub spotted him. However, amidst the current chaos, they didn't grasp Adrian's background as he was just one person. None of them paid him any heed, perhaps too consumed by the unfolding turmoil.But regret soon followed Adrian's sword swing. They realized that despite him being alone, the menace he presented far outweighed the three thousand others. Moreover, those three thousand were merely a disordered throng engaged in internal strife."Since when did Sandstone harbor such a formidable expert?" someone exclaimed, coughing up blood.This man had been relatively fortunate. When Adrian swung his sword earlier, another person happened to be standing before him and bore the brunt of the attack and was cleaved in half. Despite being affected by the sword's essence, this man managed to narrowly preserve his life.Having unlocked the profound Origin Power–a mystery to Adrian himself—his combat prowess su

    "Run!" a soldier shouted.Adrian's displayed power surpassed their understanding as they had never encountered such an ability before. This ability, akin to teleportation, was learned from Kobe during their last encounter. Due to rejection from their world, Adrian struggled to grasp Origin Power for a long time, facing a bottleneck. Witnessing Kobe's similar ability triggered a breakthrough, granting Adrian the same power."Die!"With a single word, Adrian's sword essence swept through the area, clearing anyone obstructing his path to the barrier hub. Of the three thousand people, fewer than five hundred remained, still resisting desperately."Retreat! Retreat! Ignore the gangs!" shouted a military officer to the troops below, who had already begun withdrawing after Adrian's intervention.The commander, still engaged with the gang members, sensed something amiss and swiftly led his men to the city walls. Unfortunately, Adrian's speed was too swift for them to catch up, and by the

    A subordinate rushed to Quintin and shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty, scouts ahead have reported that one of the barrier hubs within Sandstone has been destroyed!"Quintin smiled and said, "As expected, Adrian hasn't disappointed me.""What should we do now, sir?""Stick to the original plan! Charge ahead!" Quintin ordered. He wanted to push Sid into a corner. The disruption caused by Adrian and his group within Sandstone was risky. If they did not do their job well outside the city while Adrian's group caused chaos within, it would provide an opportunity for Sid to turn the tide. Right now, they just needed to apply a little force and push Sid into a corner. This way, they could achieve victory at the smallest cost."All troops, follow me into battle!" Quintin ordered, and the entire army was invigorated upon hearing his command. As they progressed, they witnessed one barrier hub after another being destroyed. Their morale soared to its peak as victory was within reach. "How c

    There were a total of fifty people standing behind him, some of which were grandmasters Adrian recruited from within Sandstone. Without them, he would not have been able to accomplish this goal. However, now that the barrier had been breached, Adrian had no use for them anymore and disbanded them. It was just that they ignored him and insisted on following him. They had witnessed Adrian's strength, and they believed that by following him, they could also achieve fame and fortune. Moreover, knowing that Sandstone was doomed, they had nowhere else to go."Captain, what do we do now?""We wait," Adrian replied."Wait for what?""We wait for the target to appear," Adrian said as his gaze swept through the Obscura army. The person he wanted to find was Sid. Adrian would not have needed to be so cautious if Sid was not around. In his eyes, Sid was a rare worthy opponent, and he held the latter in high regard. However, now that they had become enemies, whether Sid was a worthy opponent

    Someone entered Sid's tent and said solemnly, "Mr. Sid, we should evacuate!""So soon?" Sid raised his head, slightly surprised.In fact, he had already given up command upon learning that Adrian had appeared in the city and had used the power of the gangs to render the barrier ineffective. Their only option now was to hold their ground and wait for their final judgment as they knew that the enemy would not spare them. However, Sid never expected the judgment to come so quickly."Yes, sir. Our army has been defeated, and they have surrounded. The only way out is the path leading into the city. We must evacuate from there!"Sid remained silent for a moment before nodding.Observing the events on the battlefield, Adrian smiled and said, "It seems that Quintin also understands my intentions."Instead of crushing their enemies, Quintin surrounded them from both sides and intentionally left a path to Sandstone. He clearly wanted to herd Sid in that direction, and he was confident that

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. 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.
