Chapter 3838

Author: Celestial Clouds
Adrian refused to retreat into his shell like a turtle. What was the point of hiding? The beast swarm presented an opportunity. As the saying went, "You can catch fish in troubled waters,” so why not take advantage of the situation?

Often, the most dangerous place was the safest. Adrian and Lexie both believed that if a beast swarm erupted, the open sea might become safer than the inner sea, where dark beasts could become more abundant. However, overcoming the dark beasts' defensive lines was a challenge.

Adrian never considered aligning his fate with these immortals. After hundreds of years, patience wears thin, and people often become what they once, and Adrian was no exception.

He once debated with the seven land sages, trying to lead people down a better path. Now, such ideas seemed laughable and naive. He realized they couldn’t save the world; they could only save themselves, and even that wasn’t always possible.

This was the harsh reality: the immortal world was cruel. There

    Adrian admired Clyde’s determination but still had doubts. The super beast swarm, which occurs only once every ten thousand years, might easily break through defenses. Taking refuge on Celesta Rain Island could be the true path to survival. Adrian needed to plan for himself as well.Before the beast swarm fully formed, Adrian spent his time not only being affectionate with Lexie but also searching for small beast swarms. He hoped to gather dark spiritual energy for the Exile Realm and was deeply concerned about the Invisibees.Lexie suggested that the Exile Realm residents should have a complete set of educational books to develop a proper value system. While Adrian might not change the current generation's thinking, he could influence the next.In the Exile Realm, time accelerated; three or four years there equaled a generation’s worth of time. Adrian could guide these people to form a perfect belief system without being burdened by causality. After all, they lived in the Exile Rea

    Ragan knew that Spectral Legacy would eventually be destroyed. He realized that if he didn’t secure a new ally before the faction’s downfall, it would be too late to seek refuge elsewhere. Aligning with a more influential faction rather than a lower one seemed the best strategy.He decided to approach the Tranquil Gate faction, a moderately sized faction ranked fifth. This faction was well-established in the central lands, known for their alchemy, which made them highly influential among immortals, especially those above level eight.After securing his future with Tranquil Gate, Ragan left Spectral Legacy. However, Spectral Legacy was aware of his plans. They knew that Ragan intended to leave before their downfall, and his departure could lead other members to abandon them as well, especially in a crisis.Ragan understood this well. He knew Spectral Legacy had treated him fairly despite his mixed-blood heritage. Many factions resented Spectral Legacy for accepting him, and some had

    Ragan realized he would make little progress if things continued this way. Staying with a perpetually ranked-seven, and precarious at that, offered no future. Everything aside, all the factions targeted Spectral Legacy because each death of an apprentice from the faction would weaken it, further entrenching their seventh place.This trial made Ragan realize he had to leave Spectral Legacy or he would eventually die amidst the faction's struggles. Humanity had never recognized his bloodline, and some apprentices even secretly called him a mongrel—a term that infuriated him. Therefore, Ragan never liked humans. Despite them raising him and teaching him to train, he despised them because they were not his kin.Ragan decided to incite Heavenly Order’s wrath through a series of provocations. They issued the central lands order, indicating they would no longer tolerate Spectral Legacy’s misdeeds. All the affected factions could unite to attack them, whether or not Spectral Legacy handed ov

    Immortals Alliance believed they shouldn't tolerate such unfairness and felt the alchemists were too privileged. Almost every immortal had faced the arrogance and arbitrary price increases imposed by alchemists, leading to long-standing resentment.Tranquile had never encountered a situation like this. The other six major factions served Heavenly Order, which was established to generate spirit stones. Heavenly Order also created the other five factions and implemented a competition system to maintain peace in the world. That was why only the seventh-ranked faction changed after a thousand years.However, Heavenly Order had to confront the fallout from their mismanagement, which allowed Immortals Alliance to rise rapidly in power. Immortals Alliance had become too strong to control, making things with Tranquile increasingly tense.Immortals Alliance submitted a petition to Heavenly Order, accusing Tranquile of wrongdoing and insisting the alchemists needed restriction. Power was para

    Tranquile concentrated only on alchemy, leaving combat responsibilities to Heavenly Order. In this arrangement, they were just workers. Whenever problems arose, they would depend on Heavenly Order. But with Heavenly Order’s authority now in decline, they were unsure of their next steps.Level nine immortals would only get involved when Heavenly Order faced a critical situation. If Immortals Alliance stayed rational, they would avoid provoking Heavenly Order. However, the intentions of the other five factions remained uncertain. Heavenly Order's mistake had led to a loss of momentum, leaving them uncertain about whether to fight. Engaging in battle would mean confronting the entire central lands as Immortals Alliance was a grassroots group. Conversely, choosing not to fight could lead to Immortals Alliance undermining their influence, even if they didn’t attack. Therefore, Heavenly Order could only stay quiet.It was then that credible information from the maritime immortal world that

    Just when Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore’s soul was about to collapse, he met Ragan. The former found Ragan highly appealing when he noticed Ragan’s treacherous and ruthless nature and half-daemon heritage.He then taught Ragan to summon daemons. He enticed Ragan by suggesting that successfully summoning the daemons was a great achievement. However, he warned that failure would mean Ragan could never change his life.Ragan struggled to gain respect in the human world due to his background. The daemons considered him impure, while humans were cautious of his daemonic heritage. Even dark immortals looked down on him. He thought it would be a great accomplishment if he could summon daemons.Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore, who held significant status among the daemons, could ensure Ragan's future success. The focus on summoning was intentional. Although Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore wanted to keep the process a secret, Ragan insisted on learning the details. He even threatened to ba

    Ragan’s voice spread uniquely in frequency and volume until it reached the Daemon Domain. There, a blood-red eye noticed his voice. A massive head emerged, listened, and departed gleefully to report to its superiors.In the Daemon Domain, a strict hierarchy required reporting any event. Everything was reported to the family, then a course of action would be decided on by family elders, or reported to the tribe and decided by the tribal leader. Eventually, the upper leaders realized the signal originated from a domain they had failed to conquer twice. After brief communication among level eight and above daemon ancestors, they set out toward the spatial coordinates.The technology mastered by the daemons was beyond human comprehension. Their invasions relied on their ability to perform spatial jumps using coordinate points to form a spatial array. However, the daemons encountered limitations. High-ranking daemon ancestors could not pass through easily or had to pay a considerable pric

    After two failed attempts, the daemons managed to establish contact with Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore, who, with the spread of daemonic energy, instructed them to be more covert in their next operation. They planned to use Spirit Peak as a stronghold, spreading daemonic energy gradually. While the central land immortal region was distracted by Immortals Alliance, they would fully infiltrate Spirit Peak and engrave the Daemon Domain's teleportation portal onto it.This would allow low-level daemons from the Daemon Domain to arrive continuously. These daemons, though often mindless slaves, had blood containing pure daemon lineage. Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore intended to use their blood to reinforce the teleportation portal and spatial nodes.Through concentrated blood sacrifices and continuous signals to the Daemon Domain, they aimed to solidify the spatial nodes and form a permanent spatial coordinate. Even if the operation failed, the Daemon Domain's army could keep coming to

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?

    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.
