The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3780
During the Daemonia invasion, Ethereal Pagoda was already established and played a key role in helping many factions enhance their formations. This support helped Celesta Rain Island survive the daemonic calamity, earning the family running the business even greater respect from Celesta Rain Island’s island leader.Over generations, the power of Ethereal Pagoda's formations had significantly improved. However, their formations were known for their strong defensive capabilities but lack of offensive power, making them resemble an iron bucket. This defensive focus had probably been shaped by the daemonic calamity, influencing the business’ creative direction.Some immortals had criticized Ethereal Pagoda’s formations as too cumbersome, arguing that a purely defensive approach was ineffective. Ideally, formations should be unpredictable to exhaust and confuse enemies, using illusions or offensive tactics to keep them on edge.Adrian, however, was unconcerned with the mixed reviews of E

Adrian waved his hand, signaling Taya to continue, undeterred by the price.Taya then led Adrian to the second floor, where they found a simpler counter. The formation flags and discs here were sparse and less ornate than those downstairs, giving off an ancient, unrefined vibe, suggesting they were based on older designs.“This formation is called the Spirit Locking Formation. It should meet your needs,” Taya said, pointing to a formation disc.“Spirit Locking Formation? What’s special about it?” Adrian asked, intrigued by the name.Taya explained with a smile, “This formation not only defends against level-nine attacks but, when operated personally, can even withstand assaults from Celestial Forge Stage immortals.”“Is that true?” Adrian asked, pleased.“Absolutely!” Taya continued, “The name ‘Spirit Locking’ is somewhat misleading. The formation has two main functions. First, it weakens the spiritual energy of enemies. When they enter the formation, their spiritual energy is im
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3782
Taya, even at the risk of offending Adrian, insisted on explaining the formation’s details. Her thorough guidance was immensely beneficial, and since Adrian wasn’t in a rush, he appreciated her effort.Ethereal Pagoda was meticulous. Behind the formation disc was a comprehensive guide detailing how to set up the formation. It covered where to place the flags, how to move them, and how to control the disc. The instructions were clear enough for even a novice like Adrian to follow and set up the formation on his own.To master and adapt the formation effectively, Adrian would need to practice diligently. Taya also emphasized the importance of a celestial vein for optimal protection. A celestial vein was essential for maintaining the formation’s operation continuously; relying solely on essence stones could lead to interruptions in spiritual energy. Continuous bombardment by enemies could exploit these weaknesses.Despite Taya’s lengthy explanations, Adrian was satisfied with the shop.

Adrian’s arrogant tone infuriated Tiger. It was one thing for Adrian to be hostile, but his sarcastic comments after Clyde’s sincere apology were intolerable.But despite this, Clyde continued to smile and maintain a conciliatory demeanor.Adrian then remarked, “Tiger, your real name is Mattie Stein. Unfortunately, you will never break through level-nine in this lifetime.”Tiger’s anger flared, but Clyde restrained him, saying, “Tiger, do not be disrespectful to the gentleman.”“He’s just a fraud!” Tiger retorted. “He must have gathered this information through inquiries. You’re well-known on Celesta Rain Island, so finding out details isn’t difficult.”“But how did he know my identity and your name, which hasn’t been used in decades? This man is no ordinary person. We can’t afford to offend him, especially in these turbulent times.”Adrian, growing impatient with their whispering, said, “Do you have business with me? I have little time and need to head to Lumia Isle. If you plan
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3784
Driven by selfish motives, Tiger hadn't mentioned the spirit spring to anyone, which caused delays in collecting the necessary essence stones. By the time he told Clyde, it was too late; Adrian had already taken advantage of the opportunity.Adrian, not embarrassed by his lack of knowledge, asked, “Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is a spirit spring?”Clyde explained, “A spirit spring is a celestial item usually found with a high-quality celestial vein. It appears as a stream of aura essence, similar to spring water. The aura essence in a spirit spring is very dense, so training within a six-meter radius of one is like training with a high-grade celestial vein. However, beyond this range, the essence dissipates, which is why my brother was so aggressive in obtaining Lumia Isle. I hope that makes sense.”Realizing the significant advantage he had discovered, Adrian was about to respond when Clyde added, “The water from the spirit spring has many other benefits. Drinking a small

”What… What do you suggest I say?” Clyde asked, his eyes darting as he turned to Adrian. He sensed that Adrian was someone extraordinary and might offer valuable advice. It couldn’t hurt to listen, even though he would make the final decision himself.Adrian, being straightforward, noted that he didn’t know the exact location of the spirit spring. Searching for it would be time-consuming, and since they had already agreed on their course of action, he had no objections.He said, “Your eight siblings have outlined their grand visions for governing Celesta Rain Island, including their expansion plans and a detailed analysis of its shortcomings. They all believe your father is calling them to discuss his final wishes.”“And me?” Clyde asked, becoming more animated. Adrian’s knowledge of him having eight siblings cemented his belief that Adrian was exceptional.Adrian chuckled. “Your siblings are all above level nine, while you, the youngest, are only at level eight. It’s going to be a
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3786
Adrian looked at Clyde and, though he was internally shouting with frustration, patiently explained, “Your father is about to pass away. As his son, you should show your filial piety in his final moments. There's no need to showcase your talent or present ambitious plans. As long as you’re his biological son, inheriting Celesta Rain Island should be straightforward. Your father, now in his twilight years, is more concerned with testing his children and reminiscing about the past. If you compete for fame and gain now, it will only disappoint him.”“That would greatly disappoint my father!” Clyde realized. He now understood Adrian’s advice was cunning but effective.“No matter what questions your father asks or promises he makes, you should just cry. Say things like, ‘Father, you won’t die. I will seek revenge for you. I will find the elixir of life for you.’ Even if your father blames you, keep crying and express that you only wish to be by his side and have no other desires in this l

In most cases, immortals in the Southern Forest would not make appearances. To mortals there, immortals were enigmatic beings who seemed to appear and disappear at will. When an immortal did appear, mortals often believed it was a deity visiting from the heavens.In contrast, the maritime immortal regions were quite different. Adrian observed that in the scattered towns within the sea, immortals and mortals lived side by side. Some mortals even worked for immortals as guides or managed island-wide formations themselves. This surprised Adrian, as such a situation would be unthinkable in the Southern Forest. Even though mortals lacked spiritual energy, they could follow instructions to place essence stones according to formation patterns after being taught a few steps. While these formations might not deter beasts, they were effective against natural disasters. For instance, during a tsunami, Adrian believed that without these formations, mortals would likely perish.Moreover, withou

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
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 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
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

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
