Chapter 3179

Author: Celestial Clouds
"Release them, and I'll let you deal with me however you like," Caleb proposed, his tone less fierce than before. As he spoke, his blade remained sheathed, signaling a move he was preparing.

"If I kill them, you'll still die. You’re not worthy enough to negotiate with me," Adrian replied with a slight smile.

Caleb frowned. He had intended to intimidate Adrian with this move, which would also be his final one, but he realized that Adrian's strength far surpassed his own. It seemed that no matter what he did, everyone tonight was doomed to perish.

"We know many secrets. If you want to know… Ack..." The speaker suddenly choked, blood spilling from his mouth. Shock crossed his face as he fell to the ground, silenced.

"What I want to know, I'll find out for myself. Don't try to threaten me," Adrian declared.

"Everyone, attack together!"

Whether in Obscura City or Silverboa City, anyone who opposed Adrian would eventually discover they were facing someone extraordinary. He was like a g

    But Caleb dared not voice this. If he admitted his ignorance, would Adrian simply kill him on the spot?Adrian waved his hand dismissively. "Forget it. Just go."With that, Caleb departed in silence. Adrian emerged from the forest and cast a contemptuous glance at the brightly illuminated Remington mansion, smirking faintly. He glanced down at the Divine Frost Slayer Blade in his hand."Do you desire to consume this blade?" he asked the sword.However, the Hellblade emanated an intensely violent will as if angrily roaring at the Divine Frost Slayer Blade.Adrian shook his head. "Seems like it's not willing to let you consume it."The Divine Frost Slayer Blade sensed Adrian's reluctance for it to consume the other blade, and it became agitated. The swords hanging on both sides of Adrian began to hum. Now, he seemed like a walking battlefield of hellish weapons. Even ordinary individuals who approached too closely might be overwhelmed by the frenzied aura of the swords."That's en

    Someone approached the guard who had led the interception against Adrian earlier and quietly asked, "Captain, they've left. What should we do?""Notify Mr. Thobias in ten minutes.""Why ten minutes?"The captain of the surveillance team only sighed in response. The others hesitated for a moment, likely understanding their captain's thoughts, and they all looked regretful. It was evident to everyone who had contributed to the country between Adrian and Thobias. However, Adrian was now facing pressure from the Governor's Mansion due to certain circumstances. As members of the Governor's Mansion, they didn't want that to happen, so they could only provide as much convenience as possible. For instance, delaying the notification to Thobias for a little while, allowing Adrian and the others to get as far away as possible.*Ten minutes later, Kevin frowned. "We've alerted the enemy," he said, looking at his father.Thobias sat in a large chair, stroking his chin, lost in thought. This

    Thobias' hand trembled as he turned to his son, gesturing for him to open the door. Kevin was trembling all over, unaware of what had happened outside. But under his father's intimidating gaze, he had no choice but to comply. As he tremblingly opened the door, the sight before him almost made him vomit his dinner.An old man sat between the two bodies on the floor, a dagger dripping with blood in his hand. A deep wound on his neck gushed blood like boiling water.Patio and another merchant were already dead, but the old man named Moran was barely alive. "Do you know why you two weren't killed?" He looked at Thobias and Kevin.Thobias tentatively asked, "Because we are still useful to Celestria?"The old man smiled. "Because you don't know the exact location of our organization."Kevin frowned, glancing at his father subconsciously. The guilt on his father's face made Moran's dying face turn pale.Moran widened his eyes and struggled to get up, probably wanting to continue killing

    Although there were many speculations about the Stormwatch Legion's actions from the outside world, Adrian and his group paid little attention to it."The Remingtons are like timid mice," Wallace remarked disdainfully as they walked down the street.Adrian didn't need to think twice to understand why Thobias had taken such actions. It was undoubtedly because something Adrian had done at Thobias' banquet had unnerved them. As they passed by the Stormwatch Legion, Adrian frowned, appearing to contemplate something. "Have you found out the addresses of those Celestrian merchants?" he asked after leaving the hospital, prompting the group to begin investigating the residences of Patio and the others. Having learned from the party that they were likely associated with the Celestria Restorationists, Adrian focused their efforts on finding Rozi through them."We have. These Celestrians reside in Phoenix Hill Manor," Lillian replied.As well-known merchants in Cras Island, discovering the

    Adrian had sent the guard in to report just to test the waters. With the current critical situation, gaining entry to the Governor’s Mansion wouldn't be easy."What should we do now?" Lillian asked, but Adrian responded with silence. He had no other viable options at the moment. They could force their way in, which was not out of the question, but it would result in casualties. Stirring up trouble with the Stormwatch Legion in a crucial location like Cras Island would only complicate matters further. It wouldn't just be about rescuing Rozi; it would escalate into more complex issues.‘We're too distant from the Stormwatchers, and Ines is even less useful now. Do we have to find a way to sneak in?’ Adrian pondered.Meanwhile, in the Governor’s Mansion, three people sat in the reception hall engaged in conversation: Thobias, Kevin, and Gaius."Hahaha. We owe you thanks for this, Mr. Gaius. Otherwise, my son and I would be in a bind." Thobias chuckled, offering praise to the big-beard

    "Working with the Celestrians?" Gaius rose from his seat, his expression growing serious as he scrutinized the father and son before him. Though he had suspected as much, hearing the words directly from them was still shocking.Thobias chuckled lightly and reassured Gaius, "Indeed. This is no jest."Gaius was taken aback. "Then you...""Mr. Gaius, are you only realizing this now? It seems I've overestimated you," Thobias deflected abruptly, shifting the focus onto Gaius.Gaius wore a pensive expression. He had sensed something amiss long ago. However, Thobias was a lord, and confronting him directly over suspicions wasn't an option. Even with military power at his disposal, he doubted he could match Thobias in a direct confrontation."What does today's matter have to do with your collaboration with the Celestrians?" Gaius inquired, having rushed over upon receiving the notice. Yet, Thobias had never explained the situation to him.Thobias and Kevin exchanged a glance, both sighin

    Gaius wasn't afraid because everyone knew the only ones the Remingtons could rely on were the army under his command. Without him, they were doomed.When Gaius signaled he wanted to leave, Thobias hastily stood up to stop him.Gaius questioned, "What's the matter? Are you trying to force me to stay, Lord Thobias?"Thobias assured him, "No, not at all. We don't have immediate benefits at hand, but..."Greed flickered in Gaius' eyes. "But what?"Thobias hesitated slightly. "But the Celestrians provide us with over a billion gold every year..."Upon hearing this, Gaius frowned deeply. "Where has all that money gone?"Thobias grimaced. Over the years, the money collected by the Governor's Mansion had been spent on various matters. After sorting out the relationships in Cras Island and several surrounding counties, they also provided the Celestrians with a hidden residence on Cras Island. Nearly all the money had been depleted.Thobias believed that once the Celestrians got a footho

    "With the Mansion surrounded by the army, we're effectively cut off. What's our next move?" Lillian's anxiety was palpable, realizing their options were dwindling.Adrian, too, grasped the gravity of the situation. While charging into the midst of the thirty thousand soldiers appeared tempting, Cras Island's status as Obscura City's rear battlefield rendered such action untenable. Disrupting Cras Island's stability was out of the question. Despite his natural inclination toward aggression, Adrian refrained from such drastic measures.Wallace, monitoring the soldiers' movements, remarked, "It seems they've altered their formation."Adrian grimaced. "They must have underestimated the severity of the situation. The Governor's Mansion and the Stormwatch Legion are undoubtedly conspiring with one another."Lillian's anxiety escalated further. After meeting Adrian, she had relocated to his residence, forming close bonds with Rozi and her sister. Living with Rozi and Wallace during this 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 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

    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.
