Chapter 3486

Author: Celestial Clouds
Brooke felt profound recognition as he observed the procedure. She remembered Gunnar using these same needles to save her. These needles were not made from standard silver but from the leaves of a plant called Glacial Silver Cypress. Hence, they were also known as Glacial Silver Needles.

Glacial Silver Cypress grew in places where it snowed all year. Moreover, it only produced needles once a decade. The needles needed for acupuncture required leaves from a hundred-year-old Glacial Silver Cypress, which were exceptionally rare.

However, these needles would lose their effectiveness after a single use, making them one-use items. Brooke had asked about them in the black market, and a single hundred-year-old leaf cost five million.

Although these needles were precious items, Gunner seemed indifferent to them. About an hour later, Adrian had over fifty Glacier Silver Needles in his skin. According to the black market price, that was over two hundred million gold worth of needles. Even so,

    Adrian remained unconscious and unaware of these events, but a golden dragon soared within his subconscious. Its fifth claw had taken shape and solidified. Beneath it stood Adrian’s soul and consciousness.He appeared tiny compared to the dragon. Even so, the size difference signified nothing. The dragon was Dragoria’s destiny, existing within a unique space inside Adrian’s body. He could grow larger if he wished.Adrian muttered, “I can feel my body has fully recovered. It seems a high-level expert has assisted me. Still, I need time to achieve perfect harmony with the Imperial Dragon.”The golden dragon possessed a mysterious power. Over the past few days, Adrian had learned that this power could enhance combat prowess and even turn the tide of life and death. He could also gain the ability to see with his eyes closed.Although Adrian could not comprehend these abilities' principles, he knew his strength would reach a new level once he mastered them. He could then perceive everyt

    Inside a building across from United Hospital, Xavier, disguised as a worker, quietly monitored the situation. He promptly reported any slight movement to Mr. Adnom.At the moment, he was observing through a telescope. "That old man who looks like Gunner has been inside for several days and hasn't come out yet. It seems Adrian is indeed seriously injured this time. Those bastards from the Dragoria Palace haven't left either," he muttered to himself as he frowned."If this continues, Mr. Adnom's recruit, Mackay, probably won't have the chance to act. The five hundred million gold might just be spent in vain.” Xavier sighed, realizing he couldn't change the situation, and continued to observe.Suddenly, he felt something sweeping toward him. He quickly dropped the telescope and looked around but saw nothing. He had secured the entire floor, and there was no possibility of another person appearing."That was strange…" Xavier muttered."How's the situation? Mackay has arrived at Rivse

    The descendants of Rozi’s family now resided all over Aethersphere. Even her parents, uncles, and various relatives had gradually reappeared. However, their family seemed to have become entangled in a major case.This case involved the core secrets of Dragoria. Therefore, everyone was extremely cautious. Rozi's parents, Nathuk Mohe and Okeke Quanda, had been on edge recently. Yes, it was revealed that Rozi's full name was Nathuk Abioye Rozi. Her father had changed his name from Abioye Zayn to Nathuk Mohe.Suddenly, Adrian thought of the person Xavier called ‘Mr. Adnom’ and understood everything. Adnom was an anagram of Damon!"So this is Mackay, whom Damon spent five hundred million gold to bring in… How audacious! This old geezer returned with such an expensive assassin after all these years away. Unfortunately, such an expensive assassin is still not enough for me. Let's see what tricks he has up his sleeves!" Adrian muttered angrily.In the palace guesthouse…Having evaded the

    Rozi stayed silent for a while, and when she snapped out of it, a hint of joy appeared on her face."I don't have much time to explain now. Two of Zector’s trusted aides are already heading toward the ward. They will take you to the headquarters of the Dragoria Palace to request your cooperation in the investigation. You should go with them for now," Adrian said."What..." Rozi looked puzzled.But before she could finish her sentence, two men pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. Rozi calmly approached them.Adrian continued, "Your father and mother have also been taken to the Dragoria Palace headquarters. I've arranged everything. You just need to pretend you don't know anything."Although Rozi was a woman, she had experienced many storms. Simply cooperating with an investigation was a trivial matter for her. Soon, under the guidance of the two aides, she walked to the entrance of United Hospital.Uzair, the inspector, watched as Rozi emerged and appeared somewhat surp

    Damon’s heart thumped when he heard the butler’s announcement. He pushed the maid aside and hurried to the courtyard."Is Uzair here too?" he asked the butler, who nodded in response.Pilan got up and followed into the courtyard too. Looking toward the gates, he saw a group of people arriving. He and Damon speculated over what had happened.Uzair entered with several armed soldiers and approached the two men with a forced smile. "Mr. Damon, we need you to come with us as a witness. I hope you will cooperate."Damon sighed in relief and smiled. "Alright, I’ll go with you." He turned to Pilan and said, "Father, I'll be back soon." He then got into one of the wagons stationed outside.Along the way, Damon appeared quite relaxed. He turned to Uzair and said, "I heard you apprehended Rozi." Uzair chuckled and replied, "Of course, we have. She may be Adrian’s friend, but we have to bring anyone involved to justice for Dragoria’s sake."Damon was delighted on the inside when he heard

    Damon, always calm and composed, was quickly falling apart at the seams. He then watched as two soldiers escorted Jack Hoover into the room, and he turned even paler."H-How…" Damon's lips quivered, barely able to utter a single word. Hadn’t Jack fled to Cumulus? Damon felt like he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank, and his eyes were filled with nothing but terror. In that instant, he fully understood that he was doomed."How?" Damon looked toward Uzair. "How did you find out, and how did you find Jack? My plan was flawless."Thoughts flew through Damon’s mind, 'Was it Mohe or Quanda? But those two knew nothing. From beginning to end, they were just my pawns, so it can’t be them. Rozi maybe? But she only signed a few documents related to the property transfer. What could she possibly know? Who could it be then?'Damon racked his brain but could not come up with an answer. He could not fathom who could uncover his plan and also figure out Jack’s involvement.At th

    Over the next several hours, Zector, Uzair, and the inspectors interrogated Damon. They left no stone unturned and recorded his statement as evidence. After confessing everything, Damon slumped in the interrogation chair, awaiting his fate. Zector and the others then took the evidence to another interrogation room. To them, Damon was just a minor businessman gone astray. The real threat to Dragoria was Jack and the forces behind him."We've captured many infiltrators but haven't been able to sentence them to capital punishment. If we can, we should publicly execute Jack. That would be a significant relief for our empire," Uzair said.Zector nodded. "The most important thing is to deter those infiltrators. We've been surrounded by enemies for years. The root cause is our inability to convict them, often having to release them due to insufficient evidence. The last execution of an infiltrator was over a decade ago."As they spoke, they entered the room where Jack was held. The latter

    The Celestial Falcon Unit was the most formidable force in Falconia."I've heard of General Rossa and his sons, but so what if you are his son? Rossa is notorious for being cold and ruthless. Do you really think he’ll avenge you?" Zector continued.These words pierced Jack's heart like a knife. Zector was right. Would Rossa avenge him if he died? Throughout Jack’s life, the word "father" was just a concept. Rossa had always ignored him, and Jack consequently had never truly felt a father's love. Part of the reason Jack had taken this path was his desire to make a name for himself, hoping one day to stand alongside Rossa or even surpass him. At that moment, Jack fell into despair, accompanied by regret and resentment.Zector watched Jack falling apart and said, "Dragoria will publicly announce your crimes and execute you on a chosen date." He then left the room with Uzair and the inspectors.In the waiting room, Mohe and Quanda were holding Rozi's hands."Rozi, everything in the pa

    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. 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
