The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3699
Gordon was somewhat stunned. Despite his extraordinary knowledge, his perspective paled in comparison to Adrian's, who had experienced rebirth. Feeling a sense of frustration, he said, "Doesn't that mean we're heading toward a dead end?""No. This time, humanity will have a long buffering period. Whether we can get through this difficult period depends on the next fifty years.""Fifty years?"Adrian nodded slightly. "I'm afraid maybe not even fifty years. The daemons will stabilize their foothold and counterattack the immortal world before that.""How do you know?" Gordon's fear of Adrian diminished, and even Kara beside him looked shocked."Because the factions value their reputations and opt to retreat rather than engage in battle."After the devastating sounds outside subsided, Adrian conversed with Gordon for a long time, gaining a rough understanding of the daemons.Adrian walked out of the cave, followed closely by Gordon and Kara. They saw blood mist spreading over the se

"What?""Those creatures aren't from Daemonia?""The daemons are causing trouble. What are we going to do?""Are we all going to die?"Wilson looked at the chaotic crowd below, unsure how to calm them down without angering Adrian. He swiftly stood up and harshly scolded the younger members of his family.Adrian nodded, seeing Wilson's attempt to maintain order."I called you all here today for a reason, and I'm sure your leaders have already explained," Adrian said.The Sampsons stopped panicking and answered in unison, "Yes, sir.""Without rules, there can be no order. If what is said about Forgotten Shore is correct, it will become quite desirable. You, the Sampson family, are fortunate. You're the first guests to arrive here and even have the opportunity to become its owners."As soon as Adrian finished speaking, the faces of the Sampsons shifted from worry to anticipation for the future. They had initially feared scraping by under the command of a level-nine Venerable Sage
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3701
"Certainly, sir!" Everyone chorused."Firstly, all the Sampsons will be involved in building up Forgotten Shore. It will be divided into four regions—east, south, west, and north—each serving different functions and future plans. The central area, around this cave house, will start with constructing a market district on the mountainside. We'll have an auction house, a treasury, a street market, and cave houses available for temporary rental to immortals, among other amenities. In the east, south, west, and north regions, the focus will be on defensive fortifications. Your family's ability to withstand external enemies will depend on your efforts. I will intervene only in matters of life and death for your family.""What external enemies? Didn't you say the first line of defense could hold off the daemons for thirty years?" Wilson asked."Mr. Adrian meant they could withstand the stronger enemy forces for thirty years," Gordon clarified for Adrian."What?""There are countless weak
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3702
With that, the Sampsons grasped Adrian's intentions.Surprisingly, Gordon and Kara were taken aback, especially Kara, who harbored suspicions about Adrian's ulterior motives."So, what exactly do you mean by 'defensive fortification?’" Wilson asked, a bit perplexed.Adrian handed Wilson an intricately inscribed emerald disc, about the size of a palm, to the elder, saying, "We'll use formation discs like these. They can safeguard your family.""But this seems inadequate." Wilson's expression darkened."Indeed, one alone won't suffice, but I also have these." Adrian produced several more emerald discs, accompanied by flags, noticeably more elaborate than the first."What are these?" Kara asked."These are island formation discs. They were designed to protect islands." Adrian grinned.These discs had been among Leroy’s possessions from their time on Oxridge. Adrian and Rozi had decided against selling them when handling Leroy's estate.Back then, they had purchased numerous forma

Aside from Wilson and Gordon, the person Adrian had interacted with the most over the past two months was Kara, a junior alchemist. The two often worked together to inspect and set up formations, gradually becoming close friends who shared everything.It turned out that Kara also came from an immortal family, though not a particularly large one. Her father, despite his diligent pursuit of the immortality arts, had struggled to make significant progress. Kara was deeply concerned about her father, and Adrian could only offer limited comfort.During this period, Kara barely reached level eight and showed considerable talent in alchemy. Naturally, Adrian tirelessly provided her with various teachings and alchemical formulas.With Adrian’s guidance and the formulas he provided, Kara became highly popular among the young apprentices of the Sampson family. After all, who wouldn't want to marry an alchemist? It was a guarantee of future wealth.Interestingly, Gordon also became a blacksmi

The daemons not only provided inner cores. Many parts of their bodies such as horns, scales, and claws were extremely hard or naturally possessed incredible abilities, suitable for making artifacts or even treasures. However, their sheer numbers posed a challenge.To alleviate inflation on the island, Adrian came up with a plan—to establish the Skill Depository. The immortals could choose to contribute to Forgotten Shore, exchange for contribution points, or go to the Skill Depository to exchange for fighting techniques. Adrian had no good impression of Genesis, so why would he bother about them?Other immortals' fighting techniques, spiritual skills, and even secret techniques were boldly purchased by the wealthy Adrian and placed in the Skill Depository. Anyone who provided enough daemon materials of sufficient value could exchange for them.Immediately, inflation on the island was effectively resolved. However, what they didn't anticipate was that danger from outside the island w
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3705
"Are we talking about occupying other small islands?""But even if we occupy them, we don't have enough manpower to guard them, sir.""Moving mountains and filling seas is beyond our current capability, but the technique of drawing celestial veins is something any one of us can do." Adrian began to stir up enthusiasm.“The celestial vein of our Forgotten Shore is only a small one, capable of activating defensive formations against a large number of level-eight spiritual techniques. If a large number of level-nine immortals were to attack us, it would be vulnerable to being breached. “If the celestial vein of Forgotten Shore can be upgraded to a medium one, then it can withstand the spiritual power attacks of many level-nine immortals. Unless many supreme level-nine immortals come, Forgotten Shore will be solidly protected. Furthermore, a mere small Celestial Attraction Formation can already nurture and support so many immortals. If it's a medium celestial vein, the vast majority o
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3706
"Currently, all large and medium-sized islands have been occupied by Daemonia. It's unlikely we'll obtain the three celestial veins, but if any of you can secure a small celestial vein, you'll be rewarded with 100,000 low-grade essence stones and an enforcer position. If any of you manage to secure a micro celestial vein, the reward is still 100,000 low-grade essence stones. If you discover it as a team or together, do not fight and all of you will be equally rewarded.""How do we secure these veins?""Each securing formation consists of two discs. One you will lead to the celestial vein, and the other remains on Forgotten Shore as a locator. You just need to find the celestial vein and then use the discs to secure it."Everyone became excited. After all, most of them had never seen more than a thousand essence stones before. After they came to Forgotten Shore, not only had they become wealthy by hunting daemons and beasts, but now there were also these mission-based rewards. Their

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4814
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4809
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4807
"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
