Chapter 3414

Author: Celestial Clouds
Ordinary people couldn't even approach the stone tablet, let alone make it past the first trial. Yet, Adrian had managed to take ten steps forward. It appeared he hadn't miscalculated.

Ninety-seven, ninety-eight...

Ninety-nine.

Boom!

With the last step, everything was decided.

Finally, Adrian stood before the Tablet of Eternal Silence. Gazing up, he beheld a massive stone towering about a hundred meters high. One side appeared as smooth as if sliced by a knife, adorned with rows of ancient symbols. Each one exuded boundless power, and a single glance at these symbols made one feel as though one could peer into the entire universe.

As the sky darkened and the moon ascended, Adrian sat down cross-legged, enveloped in darkness.

Swish!

A burst of light erupted, and Adrian found himself in a vast, white expanse. There was nothingness everywhere. Only one figure stood before him, eerily resembling himself upon closer inspection.

‘Interesting.’ Adrian smiled. ‘Is this a trial from th

    "What? That was quick. I thought you'd at least provide him with some guidance for a month before allowing him to even approach the Royal Dragon Text. I fear he won’t even pass the Heavenly Steps and will soon give up,” someone in the crowd said."No, he has already made it past the steps." Phoebe shook her head.Everyone was astonished."It appears he's not as feeble as we presumed." Stevie smiled.*Finally, Adrian opened his eyes. The sun had risen and set, and seven days had elapsed. He was still sitting at the end of the Heavenly Steps. At this moment, he had comprehended the Royal Dragon Text. He was now at the final stage.Countless runes surged up and down his body, each imbued with supreme power. These runes continuously infused into Adrian's body, causing his strength to escalate exponentially."There exists a fundamental principle predating the creation of the physical world. Everything is interconnected,” he mumbled.In an instant, countless divine thoughts from anc

    The Dragon Emperor illusion was as bright as the sun. “Wow! Is that the Dragon Emperor? I never thought I’d live to see such a phenomenon!”“It's brimming with brilliance even though it's just an illusion. I might finally attain a breakthrough that has eluded me for so long. I need to go into seclusion immediately. I must strive to reach level nine." Voices rose one after another, filling the entire secret realm.Adrian remained quietly seated on the mountaintop.Boom!At that moment, a violent explosion was heard that shook the secret realm. Everyone looked around as the ground shook.“What’s going on? Are we under attack?” Stevie asked.Suddenly, countless figures appeared from various parts of the secret realm and rushed toward the entrance. At the same time, a group of mysterious individuals rushed in from outside of the secret realm. They had white hair and green eyes, and they were clearly not from Exasword."Foreign intruders!" Stevie said. “Hahaha, so this is the K

    "Adrian, it seems you truly are the chosen one!" Stevie appeared elated as he approached Adrian."What do you mean by I'm the chosen one?" Adrian asked."In addition to safeguarding the Draco Vein, we have another duty—to await the chosen one. The chosen one is the one who commands the Draco Vein," Stevie explained, his gaze firmly fixed on Adrian.Without a doubt, Adrian was that person. After decades of waiting, they had finally reached this day. "So, what happens now?" Adrian asked, "What is the mysterious power you have here? I want to bring these powers to the outside world.""What do you mean by that?" Stevie asked in puzzlement.It was only then Adrian realized he had not yet explained his purpose for coming here and quickly recounted his mission. Everyone exchanged glances, seemingly unable to fully grasp Adrian's intentions."If these powers were to be unleashed, they could indeed transform the outside world. However, doing so will place you in great danger," Stevie sa

    But Adrian knew that something had changed. His senses had become significantly sharper. In the past, he could observe every detail in Exasword using his own power, but it was exhausting and demanding. Now, doing the same thing was effortless for him."So, this is the full power of the Draco Vein?" Adrian inquired."Exactly. This is the full power of the Draco Vein," Stevie affirmed. "Since you've acquired the power from the Draco Vein, it means our duty has been fulfilled." He exchanged glances with those around him.Adrian could discern a hint of disappointment in their eyes. 'They must have believed their purpose for remaining in this world had vanished,' he speculated.He proposed, "Since your duty to guard Exasword's Draco Vein is fulfilled, I have another task for you. I want you to lend your power to Exasword and safeguard it. Are you willing to do so?""What?" Stevie was taken aback."Well, all of you are strong, and by this world's standards, you're all level nine fighte

    "You’re finally back, Adrian! A group of Falconians went in just now. We wanted to assist, but most of us are injured," Machias expressed with disappointment."It's alright. They're all deceased now, so let's not dwell on them. Are you all alright? Was anyone injured?" Adrian inquired."Don't fret about us, Adrian. We're fine," Machias replied. Then, he turned to Stevie's group with a frown.Noticing his gaze, Adrian proceeded to introduce Stevie's group to Machias and his companions. After hearing the full story, Machias pondered for a moment before stating, "In that case, can we accompany you? We wish to serve Exasword too.""Are you certain?" Adrian asked."Yes, we are," Machias affirmed, nodding with determination, his juniors echoing his sentiment.Although Adrian hadn't disclosed much, they all inferred his connection to Exasword’s officials. However, they hadn't realized that Adrian was the individual who recently gained prominence."Then you're welcome to join us," Adria

    Keltes Mountain lay at the westernmost edge of Exasword, with the nearest human city several hundred kilometers away. In the past, Adrian might have returned to Exasword directly, but circumstances had changed now that he had company. Moreover, Stevie's group had been isolated from the outside world for several hundred years, eager to witness the current state of affairs.Upon arriving at Westania, they found the city brightly lit and peaceful."Wow! I didn't anticipate such drastic changes in the world!" Stevie exclaimed."At the time, Aethersphere was embroiled in war, compelling us to seek refuge in Keltes Mountain to safeguard the Draco Vein. I never imagined that after a century, humanity would rebound and thrive," Clarence remarked."Let's locate the city lord of Westania and request accommodation for the night," Adrian suggested.Everyone agreed, and they made their way to the city lord's residence. Soldiers guarded the gate, deterring anyone from approaching. They murmured

    The soldiers noticed the change in the atmosphere but ignored it. They approached Adrian, and one of them said, "You're gutsy to threaten us. Do you know who I am? I'm a quasi-level nine!"As the soldier finished speaking, a surge of energy emanated from him and his fellow soldiers. Adrian shook his head and sighed. These people were strong but rotten to the core. They'd cause trouble for the city if they continued as guards. So, he decided to teach them a lesson."Oh? You're a quasi-level nine? Perfect, I specialize in dealing with people like you," Adrian said, spreading his hand to emit a vast power.The soldiers felt a chill in their hearts and were surprised by Adrian's strength. Though he hadn't revealed his full power, it was clear his combat ability had increased significantly."You little brat, we didn't expect you to be this strong. In that case, we'll show you no mercy. Prepare to die!" one of them shouted.With that, they charged at Adrian. Seeing this, Adrian smiled

    Thinking this, a wave of emotions surged within them. Even if they were unwilling to accept it, they had no choice now.Moments later, a voice rang out, “What’s going on? Why are so many people gathered here?”Looking toward the sound, they saw a man striding out from the city lord’s residence. This person appeared dignified, with several attendants following behind him. Seeing this man, the soldiers' faces lit up with joy.“Sir Mark, you’re here!”“This guy said he wanted to see you.”“We wouldn't let him in, and he tried to force his way through.”The soldiers reported in agitated tones.The city lord, Mark Turner, frowned. However, it did not take long for him to sense that something was amiss. His gaze fell upon Adrian, and he was shocked.The soldiers were oblivious to his reaction and continued their chatter. After a while, they noticed that Mark was exceptionally quiet. They looked at him in confusion and asked, “What’s the matter, sir?”Mark looked at the soldiers and

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.

    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.

    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. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
