The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3880
Adrian turned over the formation disc and started positioning the formation flags, while Lexie took care of placing them. Setting up the entire formation took the whole morning, and once they finished, they sat together in silence.Adrian, always cautious, had another reason for the formation. The Purple Forest Marsh's depths were crucial, and if dark beasts were inside, the trap formation would buy him some time. He also saw it as a strategic move in case Ciaran decided to retreat to the outer layer of the swamp. The formation at this chokepoint was a way to wait for Ciaran, who Adrian was confident would eventually come out.However, Ciaran didn’t appear that day. Bored, Adrian and Lexie began to engage in intimate activities. They were enjoying their time together when Ciaran finally showed up.Adrian smacked Lexie’s rump in frustration and said, “He shows up now of all times. Why not earlier or later?”Adrian tried to get up, but Lexie wasn’t ready to let him go. She wanted to

Adrian, deep in thought, asked, "What could make an intermediate level-eight immortal like you so panicked?""You'll find out if you go ahead," Ciaran replied bluntly.Adrian, with a lazy tone and a smile that sent a chill down Ciaran's spine, said, "If I go in myself, you might not have a chance to escape. I'm giving you an opportunity to redeem yourself.""What do you plan to do with me?" Ciaran replied coldly, his eyes flickering as he closely watched Adrian. "Even if I'm trapped in this formation, if you come in, the outcome is still uncertain.""Still being stubborn? I've seen plenty like you, and they all ended up dead," Adrian retorted, his expression darkening as he sat down cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes."Don't try to scare me!" Ciaran shot back, his face expressionless. "Do you think I'm so easily frightened? You're just a rudimentary level-eight immortal. What kind of trouble can you cause? I was only caught off guard by your tricks earlier when you were chasi

Sighing, Adrian tossed a pain-relief pill to Ciaran. With a casual smile, he said, "Take this. It won’t do much for mental injuries, but seeing you so distressed, it's the best I can offer. Just make do with it.""Why you…!" Ciaran started to protest, but quickly realized he was at Adrian’s mercy, as vulnerable as a fish on a chopping block. Whatever Adrian said was the rule, so despite his doubts about the pill, he swallowed it.Adrian nodded in satisfaction. "You're finally showing some sense. If you had known better, why act tough before? Now, tell me, what’s ahead that got you so alarmed?"Hearing Adrian’s persistent questioning, Ciaran didn’t dare to joke around anymore. He answered respectfully, "Honestly, I don't know what's ahead. I just heard someone say ‘leave,' and out of fear, I turned back and ran..."He hesitated, then added, "The beast that told me to leave probably isn’t very high-level. Given the nature of dark beasts, if it had been stronger, it would have just sl

"You’re holding the knife, and I’m just the fish on the chopping block. It seems whether I agree or refuse isn’t really up to me," Ciaran began, but Adrian cut him off."That’s not entirely true," Adrian said, his tone sincere. "We had our dispute earlier, but now, with humanity facing such a great peril, we’re more helpless than ever before. If we can survive, we should. Follow your heart—if you want to go, we’ll go together."Adrian looked at Ciaran with genuine expectation. He knew that having someone as meticulous as Ciaran by his side would increase their chances of survival in the Purple Forest Marsh.In truth, Adrian had been testing Ciaran earlier. Before coming here, Adrian had spoken with local hunters about the deeper parts of the Purple Forest Marsh. These hunters, who had spent their lives navigating the marsh, had inevitably ventured into its depths and shared rumors about what lay within.A careful person like Adrian wouldn’t overlook such details. The hunters mentio

“It must be the effect of this fog barrier,” Adrian murmured to himself.But what were those green air currents ahead? They seemed to be writhing, and after a moment’s hesitation, Adrian decided to investigate. He chose to see it as a blessing rather than a curse; if it were a curse, avoiding it might be impossible.Upon closer inspection, Adrian’s surprise turned into an incredulous smile. He had merely frightened himself; the green air currents were simply a special type of phosphorescent fire that had ignited on its own, creating the eerie scene.Though Adrian’s heart eased a bit, his expression remained serious. Visibility continued to decrease, and his divine consciousness was completely blocked. He shook his head in resignation, adjusted his mindset, and pressed on.After walking another hundred meters or so, Adrian noticed that the word “leave” was becoming clearer. What had once seemed like a whisper was now striking directly at his soul. He could sense the outrage and ling

Each step Adrian took required him to endure an increasingly intense transformation of his divine consciousness. It felt as though he was undergoing a profound enhancement of his abilities.Gritting his teeth, Adrian took another step. Though he wavered, with blood staining the corners of his mouth, his determination remained unshaken. This step was remarkable.His clothes began to bulge as if inflated, and he slowly lifted off the ground, floating into the air. He crossed his legs and sat down, causing the white mist around him to swirl more rapidly.Suddenly, Adrian opened his eyes, and two golden rays of light appeared. His expression began to distort as he twitched uncontrollably, though his cross-legged posture remained steady.The golden light moved swiftly through Adrian’s body, causing blood to surface as if his blood vessels had burst. It was a terrifying sight, but Adrian did not falter.The golden light seemed almost sentient, drawing Adrian’s essence from his body and

Soulnascent retrieved five more Soulnascent Fruits and, with less caution this time, tossed them directly toward Adrian. The fruits burst in mid-air, transforming into a dark golden liquid that blended into the mist ahead."Watch closely; a surprise is coming," Soulnascent said, her voice slightly trembling.Lexie turned to where Soulnascent pointed, and witnessed an astonishing sight—the mist contracted and solidified into a massive cocoon. "What is this?" she asked in a whisper.Though Lexie's voice was soft, Soulnascent heard her and responded promptly, as if expecting the question. "It’s a Nascent Formation."Lexie’s eyes widened as she stared at the cocoon, then back at Soulnascent, confused. Shaking her head, she said, "I was at the Integration Stage before. How could I have missed entering the Nascent Stage?"Lexie was clearly skeptical. Having reached the Nascent Stage herself, she knew this wasn't an ordinary formation. "And when we entered the Exile Realm, Adrian was onl

Soulnascent raised an eyebrow and smirked before continuing, "The Middle Ages was the peak period for divine consciousness techniques, whether in the Spirit Domain or your lower domains. But over time, that boom gradually declined. Do you know why?""Just say it if you’re going to or don’t say anything at all. Really, you’re asking questions you already know the answer to. Hmph!" Lexie shot a sideways glance at Soulnascent, clearly annoyed."Hehe, well, I did say you were ignorant. I forgot to mention that. But never mind, this isn’t something immortals from your lower domains could answer." Soulnascent laughed lightly."Still keeping secrets? Are you going to tell me or not?" Lexie’s short temper flared up, unable to tolerate Soulnascent’s repeated teasing. She grabbed Soulnascent’s ear and even considered giving her a swat if she didn’t comply."Ow, ow! Okay, okay! I'll tell you!" Soulnascent, highly perceptive due to her divine consciousness training, winced in pain from the ear

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 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

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
