Chapter 3260

Author: Celestial Clouds
"Looking at its small size, I never expected this place to have such a strong dark aura," Stygian commented.

"There must be a huge monster here." Adrian snorted, then took the lead and entered Nameless Valley.

Inside were trees everywhere, but the lush greenery had been overtaken by the dark aura, turning it into a ruin. The dead trees painted a picture of desolation, resembling a hell on earth. As they progressed, Adrian noticed the area ahead clearing up.

"I didn't expect this place to be a hidden paradise." He sighed.

Man-made traces began to appear before them—stone steps, erected stone pillars—but they looked abandoned. Vines covered these structures like they had been untouched for some time. Despite the signs of habitation, the place seemed abandoned and barren. Adrian couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss.

"It's strange. Why is the dark aura so heavy here, yet there isn't a single person? Could it be that this place was entirely abandoned by the old man a

    "Humph, you're crafty despite lacking strength. It seems killing one of our elders wasn't just a coincidence," a sinister voice emerged from within the dense black gas."If you're important, then reveal yourself. Only a coward hides," Adrian taunted."Don't worry, I’m right here.”A figure slowly emerged from the gas and stood before Adrian and the others. Similar to the old man from before, this person wore a black robe as well but appeared younger. He had a devilish smile which it fixed on Adrian and the others as if trying to see through them."I never expected the useless garrison soldiers could find such help.” The man sighed. "I'll give you a chance. Join the Netherites for greater opportunities.""Dream on. I won’t join you scum," Adrian retorted."Don't rush to reject me. You probably don't know what the Netherites are.” The man smiled, seeming eager to recruit Adrian."I don't care. You're all heading for a dead end."Fine.” The man laughed angrily, his smile deepening

    Ash had circled behind and stabbed the man. He said, "How annoying. It’s so much easier to end it with one slash."Adrian sneered. "Did you really think that after the previous battle, I would give you a chance to retaliate? Dream on. Take him away."Adrian then continued walking deeper into the valley with Ash and the others. He noticed something. Despite capturing all these people, the surrounding monster aura showed no signs of weakening. He felt there might still be some issues with them. As they proceeded, they quickly arrived at the innermost part of the Netherites' base."What…"Despite being prepared for many things, Adrian was still shocked. Before him stood a huge cave in a mountain. Outside, there were many defensive measures, now rendered useless because of the operators’ capture. The cave appeared dilapidated.But the main point wasn't these defenses. It was the huge blood pool at the center of the cave. About ten square meters in size, it boiled with blood, emitting

    Meanwhile, Nathaniel and the others were nervous. They were worried about whether Adrian would encounter danger. Seeing that Adrian hadn't appeared for a long time, Nathaniel even started to feel anxious."Sir, I think we should find a way to help him now.""That's right.""Now that the civilians have been moved to a safe place and we have nothing else to do, it's best to go and help him."Listening to everyone's suggestions, Nathaniel also thought the same.But soon, someone approached from the front. It was none other than Adrian. And behind him, there were hundreds of people following him at this time. These people were all bound by a long chain, just like dogs being walked, and were brought to them."Adrian, what's this..." Nathaniel seemed a bit surprised."These are the people from the Netherites. I brought them all here. I’m leaving it up to you to decide their fate," Adrian said straightforwardly.After hearing this, the monster hunters were even more shocked. Was Adria

    "Oh, you seem reluctant to see me," Nathaniel commented smilingly."Of course not," Adrian replied."Alright, let's get down to business. I came here to discuss something with you," Nathaniel said, his expression serious."What's happened now?" Adrian realized the situation seemed complicated, judging by Nathaniel's solemn expression.Nathaniel didn't beat around the bush. He handed over something and said, "Take a look."Adrian took the item and found a document containing information that shocked him. The document began with a historical account. It stated that in ancient times, a king named Jago Camacho once lived in the area of Mapleston City. After his death, he was buried there. Under his command were four generals, one of whom was the armored monster they had dealt with before. Besides him, there were three other great generals, including Jago himself, buried in Mapleston City. The reason the Netherites set up a branch in Mapleston was to find Jago's tomb."Is this for rea

    Every night, Ash and the others would patrol throughout Mapleston. Naturally, no monsters dared to cause trouble here. Even the citizens realized that things seemed much safer. Originally, few dared to venture out at night, but now the situation was completely different.Nathaniel also knew that all of this was thanks to Adrian's efforts. Although he didn't know how Adrian achieved this, regardless, Adrian had relieved the garrison of a lot of trouble. This allowed them to focus more on more important matters. Nathaniel was naturally very grateful for what Adrian had done. Several times, he secretly sought out Adrian, hoping to give the latter some kind of reward. However, Adrian rejected all of them because he didn't do these things for reward.Nathaniel could only admire Adrian's greatness. He could maintain the peace and stability of Mapleston single-handedly. However, Adrian knew that this peace was superficial. In the unseen darkness, there were countless hidden dangers, and he

    Bang! Bang! Bang!The knocking grew louder and louder, and finally, the door gave way. Matthias and Laura's hearts raced in their chests. Moments passed, and they saw a figure slowly stepping through the doorway. Despite the dim lighting, they could see that the silhouette was slowly walking in their direction, bringing with it a strong smell of blood."Where are you? I know you're here. Stop hiding and come out. I already ate one of your family members, and now it's your turn. Why hide? It would be better for the three of you to reunite in hell!" a voice said, growing closer and closer.Soon enough, the figure reached the table where the father and daughter were trembling underneath. Matthias groped around and found a long stick. He grasped it tightly, ready to strike as soon as the monster showed its face. He would then seize the opportunity to let Laura escape.The creature slowly bent down, and Matthias covered Laura's eyes, shielding her from the terrifying sight of the monste

    Stygian swung the staff in his hand, delivering a fierce blow to the monster.The monster, startled by Stygian’s sudden appearance, hesitated for a moment. But it quickly recovered and charged at Stygian, roaring, "You dare to ruin my plans?! You will die too!"But as soon as the monster finished its sentence, it froze in place. It felt an overwhelming force constricting it and preventing it from moving. No matter how much it struggled, it was completely immobilized."Crush!" Stygian's voice rang out.The monster, unable to withstand the powerful attack, was crushed to pieces.Matthias and Laura were dumbfounded, unable to process what had just happened. "Don't worry, the monster is dead. You can get up now," Adrian said as he approached. He had been observing from the shadows, waiting for Stygian to finish before stepping out."Who... Who are you?" Matthias asked."Don’t worry, I'm not a bad person, and I'm certainly not a ghost. You should be able to see that," Adrian replie

    But after some thought, Adrian figured that the garrison was not omniscient. They relied on various monitoring devices to detect unusual dark energy fluctuations. This area was the outskirts of Mapleston, so Adrian reckoned that Matthias' village must be beyond the devices' range.Adrian asked, "Where exactly is your village?""We’re from Dragonfield Village," Matthias replied.Adrian knew about Dragonfield Village. It was a neighboring village just outside Mapleston. He considered this for a moment, then quickly instructed Stygian, "Take them to our base. I'm heading to Dragonfield." "Yes, sir," Stygian replied. Then, the few people hurried off in different directions.*"Run! The monsters are coming!"Countless people were screaming and running in terror. Unfortunately, they were mere mortals, powerless against these monsters. In no time, many were caught by the pursuing monsters. The humans struggled with all their might but to no avail. The monsters held an overwhelming a

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

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.

    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.

    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.
