Chapter 3363

Author: Celestial Clouds
Adrian took a step forward and introduced himself, "I'm a first aid officer from the garrison. You fainted, and your friends were calling for help. I was nearby and heard them."

"Oh, I see. Thank you so much," Jeffrey said, nodding repeatedly.

"It's nothing. Saving your life is my duty."

In the face of Adrian's explanation, Zaid and Ryan didn't know what to say. They decided to go along with his story. Adrian's presence greatly reduced their fear.

Adrian originally planned to send them away quickly. However, since it wasn't yet dawn, it would be dangerous for them to walk in the wilderness alone. Therefore, he decided to stay with them until dawn. Once the sky was completely bright, he sent everyone away from the deserted village.

Adrian himself did not leave. He stood at the entrance of the village, quietly observing. Arnold soon joined him, accompanied by Brandon.

Arnold asked, "Did you notice something, Adrian?"

“See that?" Adrian glanced at Arnold and Brandon, then pointed t

    Each carving was vividly detailed, but none of them knew the meaning behind the symbols. They suspected they held significance back in ancient times. But despite searching their minds for information, they couldn't make any connections. The trio exchanged puzzled glances."Maybe they were just for good luck and decoration?" Arnold suggested.But Adrian disagreed. He felt there was more to the symbols, though their meaning eluded them."I think we should explore other places for clues since we're stuck here," Brandon proposed."Yeah, I agree." Arnold nodded.They turned to Adrian for his opinion.After a moment of thought, Adrian realized this might be their only option. He sighed inwardly. Then, something seemed to dawn on him."Wait," he said, his eyes brightening.The other two looked at him expectantly."This village is arranged according to a trigram, right?" Adrian said.They nodded, still unsure of his point.Adrian continued, "I think this well is also arranged accord

    Not long after, the carvings on the well began emitting a faint light as the well itself began changing shape."Wow, it seems this well is truly extraordinary!" Adrian exclaimed."Indeed. You're so smart, Adrian. You figured out its secret so quickly. Otherwise, we would’ve thought this was just an ordinary well," Brandon said."It's nothing, we're all in this together," Adrian replied modestly.As they spoke, the ancient well completed its transformation. It turned into a tunnel leading deep underground, resembling a monster with its maw wide open, inviting them to explore its depths."Should we head in?" Brandon glanced at the others."Of course. After all, we've come this far. It wouldn't be right to stop now." Adrian smiled."Hahaha, I think so too. So, what are we waiting for?" Brandon chuckled, taking the lead and stepping into the underground passage.Adrian and the others followed without hesitation. Once inside, they immediately felt a strong dark aura enveloping them.

    Before them lay a vast expanse of corpses."What... What's going on here? Why are there so many corpses?" Arnold exclaimed in shock.Adrian, comparatively composed, surveyed the scene. Wordlessly, he approached one of the bodies and began to examine it. Notably, the clothing appeared new, implying a recent demise. However, despite this, the level of decay suggested otherwise."Any findings, Adrian?" Arnold inquired, drawing nearer."Yeah," Adrian replied, relaying his discovery.Upon hearing Adrian's observations, a consensus formed among them. Yet, further revelations eluded them, prompting the need for alternative investigative avenues. In the midst of their contemplation, an odd occurrence unfolded—some of the bodies showed signs of movement."Hmm?" Adrian murmured, observing as more and more corpses stirred, ominously advancing towards them."Oh no!" Arnold exclaimed, leaping away from the nearest corpse in astonishment. However, it persisted, seemingly under external contro

    However, there was no response. It seemed as though no one was there.Adrian chuckled coldly, remarking, "Since you refuse to come out, I'll compel you to."With that declaration, he swung his blade toward the direction he sensed the attack. A flash of light streaked through the air as a figure leaped from the darkness. Adrian's attack was swift and fierce, but the figure evaded it with a mere flicker and then vanished once more.Observing this, Adrian chuckled coldly. "Seems I've underestimated you. Very well, I'll oblige."He glanced at Brandon and Arnold, who nodded in understanding, redoubling their efforts against the undead while Adrian pursued the shadowy figure.The dark figure burst through a window, disappearing into the enveloping darkness. Adrian recognized the figure's mysterious aura and deduced its intention was likely to lure him to a specific location for an ambush. However, he remained undaunted. As a level nine fighter, he wasn't easily intimidated by such tacti

    The newcomers' bodies were emaciated, some reduced to bare bones, their clothing tattered and nearly rotted away. These once-buried corpses were reanimated under the mysterious figure's control."Now, relish the sensation of being consumed by the undead!" the shadowy figure declared, emitting a wicked laugh.With that, the undead surged toward Adrian, who observed with a slight frown. However, they posed no challenge to him. With swift swordplay, Adrian effortlessly dispatched them before advancing toward the mysterious figure.The figure's heart raced as he attempted to flee, but Adrian swiftly closed the gap. With a cold smile, Adrian said, "Do you truly believe you can escape me?"As he spoke, his sword struck the figure, who emitted a shrill scream and collapsed. Adrian closed in, pressing his sword against the man's neck, leaving him powerless. With a flick of his wrist, Adrian removed the man’s hood, revealing his face."You..." the figure tried to speak, but the pressure fr

    In the eastern part of Exasword lay an island called Cloud Reverie Isle, known for its dense cluster of ancient ruins. Once inhabited, the population gradually dwindled until none remained, leaving it desolate and abandoned.One night, clouds veiled the sky and winds howled, enveloping Cloud Reverie Isle in a somber and ominous aura, hinting at an impending storm. Amidst this gloom, a figure materialized on the island, drawing the winds and clouds around them. Shortly after, another figure arrived, exuding an even stronger presence."You've finally arrived," the first figure said calmly."Yes," the second replied coldly."Rumors speak of a great secret on this island. We must find a way to uncover it," the first figure said."Getting it won't be might not as easy as we hope. Are you ready?" asked the second person."Absolutely!" confidently replied the first.As he finished, more figures emerged from the shadows, each emanating a powerful and sinister aura. Their presence alone

    The palace, immense and ancient in style, exuded an aura of exceptional grandeur."We did it!"Once the palace settled completely, everyone lifted their heads and gazed at it."I didn't expect Aethersphere to hold so many treasures. It seems our trip wasn't in vain after all," remarked one person."Indeed!" another chimed in, echoing the sentiment.They conversed with calm confidence as if everything was under control. But suddenly, a figure slowly descended from the sky.With a cold smile, Adrian said, "What a bunch of fools. It seems you really have a death wish."Everyone was taken aback and quickly looked up, spotting Adrian descending from the sky. As the young man landed, he surveyed the group, his smile widening. "Why are you all staring at me like that?" he asked calmly.The group was visibly shocked by this sudden turn of events. They became agitated, and some even adopted a defensive stance.Adrian remained unfazed. With a smile, he continued, "Why so silent? Or do y

    "Not bad. I underestimated you all," Adrian said. "I came here to reason with you, but you tried to kill me. You've just wasted my kindness.""Kid, since you've put it that way, we'll give you a chance. If you leave now, I promise we won't touch you," Maurice offered, "But if you stay, you will face the consequences!""You've got it wrong. That should be my line," Adrian replied calmly. His aura suddenly intensified, enveloping the group with overwhelming power. "You outsiders have a lot of nerve trying to steal treasures from Aethersphere. You will be punished.""Attack!" Maurice ordered as he leaped forward, transforming into a dark mist and charging at Adrian. He tried to kill Adrian in one move, but Adrian was not an easy target."I didn't want to resort to violence, but you leave me no choice," Adrian said. With a swift motion, he swung his sword at Maurice.Initially, Maurice didn't take Adrian's attack seriously because he thought he was stronger. However, he soon realized

    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

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.

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.

    "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.
