Chapter 3917

Author: Celestial Clouds
Irene was at a loss for words at Adrian’s response. After a moment, she sighed deeply and said, "Well, fine. Be careful then."

Orson added, "Please do your best, Mr. Adrian. I look forward to seeing you among the ranks of Purecastle." With that, he and his group escorted Irene into Purecastle.

As Adrian watched them depart, he smiled and said, "Hm, Purecastle, huh? This should be interesting."

As Orson had mentioned, Purecastle’s recruitment this time was substantial. Normally, they only took in three hundred new apprentices each year, but this time the number had been expanded to one thousand. Anyone who could pass the trials, regardless of their background, would be made an apprentice.

Before the trials began, Adrian observed the other participants. He noticed several individuals with impressive strength among them, even those he couldn't completely underestimate.

The trials were divided into three stages. The first stage required participants to traverse a canyon. Those who cou

    Despite the approaching group, the young man remained calm and composed. As they charged at him, he smiled and said, "One thing you need to learn is that in a fight, having more people doesn’t necessarily mean having more power."He waved his hand, and a whirlwind suddenly rose from the ground. The wind appeared so abruptly that everyone was caught off guard. The fierce gust drained their strength, making it impossible for them to launch any offense.The young man in white stood poised and elegant, untouched by the chaos around him."Damn it. What kind of sorcery is this? Let us go!" the leader, Magath Goldstein, shouted in frustration.The young man raised an eyebrow and replied, "Sorcery? It seems like you're all talk. If you lack the power, you should go back and avoid embarrassing yourself here."With another wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept through the area again. This time, it didn’t harm them but instead threw Magath and his group off balance, sending them tumbling aw

    Sensing Adrian's confusion, the young man explained, "I mentioned earlier that the trial may seem easy but is actually very difficult. It’s quite challenging to pass without a partner.""So, you sought me out?" Adrian asked.The young man nodded with a smile. "Yes.""But we don’t know each other, and there are so many others here. Why did you choose me?" Adrian inquired."Because I have a good feeling about you. What do you say? If we team up, passing the trial should be a breeze," the young man said, his words enticing.Adrian found the offer quite tempting. Although the exact difficulty of the trial was unknown, it was clear it wouldn't be simple. Teaming up would certainly improve their chances of success."Alright, I accept your offer," Adrian agreed.The only remaining question was about the young man's background. However, Adrian was not easily intimidated. If the young man had ulterior motives, Adrian was confident in his ability to handle the situation."Since we’re tea

    “Tyron, I think it’s time we join forces,” Adrian said, his power beginning to intensify around him.Tyron smiled and replied, "Sure.”He snapped his folding fan shut and thrust it forward, releasing a beam of energy that shot out like lightning. At the same time, Adrian unleashed his own attack. Their combined forces converged in mid-air, creating an immense power that seemed capable of splitting the heavens. The energy surged forward, striking the formation with incredible intensity.Another thunderous explosion followed, causing the white mist to disperse. This time, the mist spread even further than before. However, just as the pair were about to break free, the mist once again rapidly reconvened and trapped them.“This is getting ridiculous!” Adrian exclaimed in frustration.Tyron, however, remained calm and gently fanned himself. “If brute force can’t break through, perhaps we should try a more subtle approach.”“A subtle approach?” Adrian repeated, then felt as if a light

    As the last of the dense mist dissipated, Adrian and Tyron found themselves standing in a massive valley. Steep cliffs and jagged rocks surrounded the valley, creating an intense feeling of oppression.Looking around, Adrian noticed that there was no one else nearby. “It seems we’re among the first to break through the formation,” he said.Tyron nodded in agreement. “Since we have a head start, we should definitely make the most of this advantage.”With that, they reached a consensus and quickly moved forward.The participants of the trial were still navigating the maze of white mist. While the formation was not overly difficult, it required an understanding of its principles. Those who grasped the nuances, like Adrian and Tyron, could break through without too much trouble. If someone couldn't pass this stage, it meant they were not yet qualified to join Purecastle.As Adrian and Tyron pressed on, more participants began to emerge from the formation. Among them was Magath.Magat

    “It seems we must defeat this giant serpent to pass this trial,” Tyron commented.“It’s just a mere beast. There’s nothing to fear. Watch me!” Adrian replied. With a shout, he leaped into the air.While everyone else was terrified by the sight of the giant serpent, Adrian boldly charged forward.“Look, there’s someone up there!” the crowd exclaimed in shock as they saw Adrian attacking the serpent.“Is he insane? He’s throwing himself to his death!”“Who cares? That’s one less competitor. It’ll bring us closer to victory!”Adrian ignored their comments and faced the giant serpent head-on. The massive head loomed over him, ready to devour him in a single bite. The serpent seemed intrigued by this small creature daring to confront it and didn’t immediately attack. Instead, it studied Adrian closely.“What are you staring at? Never seen your master before?” Adrian barked, his sword glowing with energy as he slashed forward, aiming for the serpent’s vulnerable spot.Sensing the dan

    Everyone was stunned to see Adrian inflict such massive damage on the serpent with a single strike. However, their astonishment quickly turned to alarm as the giant serpent let out a mournful hiss and charged full speed toward Adrian."Windstep!" Tyron leaped into the air as he shouted. With a swift wave of his hand, a powerful gust of wind enveloped Adrian, shielding him from the serpent's onslaught.Tyron then called out to the crowd, "Everyone, this serpent is incredibly powerful! We need to join forces and take it down together!""Agreed!" Several immortals sprang into action, but most of the onlookers remained on the ground.Boom!Another explosive sound echoed as the serpent launched a renewed attack. This time, it opened its massive jaw wide and spewed a toxic mist that engulfed Adrian in an instant. Although Adrian was initially protected by a barrier, the toxic mist quickly overpowered it. The barrier corroded rapidly and soon vanished altogether.The serpent had been wa

    If he didn’t need to think about the bigger picture, Tyron would have loved to deal with these troublemakers right there and then.The giant serpent roared, its massive body crashing down on the small humans."Everyone, follow my lead! Form up!" Adrian commanded.Despite facing a massive beast, everyone stood their ground. Under Adrian’s direction, the group formed a defensive line against the serpent’s attack. The serpent's assault hit hard, and Adrian felt an immense weight on him. Even though the pressure was shared among eight people, it felt like a mountain to him.Tyron shouted, "What are you waiting for? Do you really think you'll be spared if we’re defeated? Ridiculous! We’ll all die together!""He's right. We can’t just stand by. We need to help.""Exactly. If they die, we all die. Let’s go!"Finally, some people were ready to join the fight. Tyron quickly counted a few dozen who were prepared to step in. He then turned to Magath and demanded, "What about you, Magath? A

    Adrian and his team were so absorbed in their battle with the giant serpent that they didn’t notice they were being watched. Among those observing were Irene and Orson.Irene smiled and said, "Didn’t I tell you, Orson? His abilities are impressive."She had initially worried about Adrian's performance in the trial, but now she felt reassured. His skillful tactics suggested he would lead the group to safety."A level nine immortal showing this level of power is impressive," Orson agreed. "However, their formation could still be optimized. If it were me, I would be able to unlock even more potential."Irene chuckled. "You can’t compare everyone to yourself. You’re the best in formation techniques at Purecastle."Orson replied modestly, "You flatter me, Lady Irene. My master is even better."Nearby, a few elder figures started to analyze the situation. "Alright, let’s focus on watching the battle."On the battlefield, Adrian and the team continued their intense fight against the gi

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.

    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.
