Chapter 3940

Author: Celestial Clouds
The elders were enlightened. It seemed that Kayne was indeed very thoughtful. Of course, as elders, they could only guide and could not make a decisive impact. The whole situation depended on Adrian and his actions.

“I’m so furious!” Haroon said, fuming as he returned to the Derrinia Pagoda. He didn’t expect the battle to be interrupted by the elders.

Laurie, on the other hand, was somewhat satisfied with this outcome. “Actually, having the duel at the Heaven's Law Arena isn’t a bad idea. This way, we can eliminate that kid with legitimacy.”

Haroon gave him a disdainful look. “What do you know? That kid is powerful. If it’s just a straightforward fight at the Heaven's Law Arena, I’m not entirely sure I can win.”

“Oh? Even you’re not confident? Is he really that strong?” Laurie found it hard to believe.

Haroon replied, “Absolutely. His strength is formidable. If we want to defeat him at the Heaven's Law Arena, we need to come up with an alternate strategy.”

    Irene reddened slightly as she glared at him. "You're so inappropriate! If you keep this up, I won't tell you why I came looking for you!""Hehehe, I’m sorry for speaking without thinking. I’ll take the blame," Adrian quickly apologized, lightly tapping his cheek as he spoke.Irene hurriedly stopped him. "Stop it, there's no need for that. Let's focus on the important matter."Adrian looked at her. "Alright then, please go ahead."However, Irene’s eyes shimmered as she said smilingly, "Since we’re discussing something important, should we talk here?""Right, we shouldn’t talk here. Maybe we should go to my room instead."Irene had just calmed down when she blushed again—even more so than before. Adrian then realized his words might have been inappropriate. After all, a man and woman being in a room alone could seem inappropriate.Irene hurriedly suggested, "Why don’t we go to the Lunar Terrace instead? It’s a more suitable place for our discussion since there won’t be many peopl

    Adrian replied, unhesitantly, “You must guarantee my safety. I’m all for eliminating daemons, but risking my life is a no-go. I want to live at least a few more years.”“That’s a reasonable ask.”The person who responded was not Irene, but someone else. Adrian turned toward the voice and saw Kayne.Irene was surprised to see Kayne, asking, “Sir, why are you here?”Kayne replied smilingly, “Why, am I not allowed to be here?”Irene quickly bowed in respect. "Of course, you are. I'm just surprised to see you here in person."Kayne waved. "There’s no need to be surprised. You’re no longer needed here. You may leave. I’ll handle the rest.""But..." Irene frowned slightly, a strange look flickering in her eyes.Kayne continued, "Does my word as an elder count for nothing?"With that, Irene had no reason to object. "Yes, sir. I will take my leave."Then, she left Adrian and Kayne to talk. However, neither spoke for a moment. A mountain breeze blew past, lifting the hems of their gar

    The imposter said, “You don’t need to worry about that. All you need to know is that you’ll die today!”Immediately after, several gleaming crystals appeared in his hand as he waved. The crystals were seemingly self-conscious, embedding themselves into the surroundings.Swish, swish, swish!Adrian instantly noticed the change in the air. He quickly realized what was happening and said, “You isolated me with a barrier. That’s quite a trick.”The imposter sneered. “That’s right, it is a barrier, and a special one, too. It won’t break until you die.”Adrian replied solemnly, “Is that so? But I think there’s another way to break it.”The imposter had anticipated Adrian’s words. The former chuckled coldly, saying, “Unfortunately, I won’t let you kill me. You will die!”Immediately after, the sword case behind the imposter’s back opened. Sharp rays shot out like a swarm of locusts toward Adrian.However, Adrian would not get caught so easily. He faced the fierce attack by waving and

    Earlier, Irene had been suspicious of the imposter-Kayne and went to gather a few other apprentices. She had not expected to be a step too late.Adrian merely laughed and said, “Even though he managed to escape, I think I figured out who he is.” He did not elaborate, but his meaning was clear.Tyron stepped forward and flapped open his folding fan. He asked, “You mean that person was disguised as someone from Haroon’s group?”Adrian smiled mysteriously. “Who knows for sure? Either way, we’ll find out tomorrow.”Although Adrian appeared calm, he used the Ancient Life Text late at night to deduce the truth. However, there was no way to figure out the imposter’s true identity.“The Ancient Life Text is powerful, but it’s limited by my level and the opponent’s strength. Whether that imposter is real or not, he’s at least a Golden Core Stage expert. I’m only at the Nascent Stage. I can’t do much if he hides.” Adrian sighed.Even so, he knew improving his strength was the ultimate path

    Irene was just as startled as Adrian when she saw Haroon. On the surface, Haroon seemed to have nothing to do with last night’s incident. She muttered, “Who else could’ve done it if not Haroon?”Tyron smiled slightly and said, “Lady Irene, are you still worried about that? The truth will come out sooner or later. There’s no point worrying now.”“You mean...” Irene looked at Tyron with a puzzled expression.Tyron continued, “We should focus on proper preparations instead of wasting time with baseless speculations.”Orson then appeared. “Well said.”Irene was excited to see him. “Orson, did you find anything?”“I made some progress. It seems hard work pays off. So, it’s up to us now,” Orson said, his eyes glinting.Meanwhile, the battle between Adrian and Haroon continued.“Perfect timing!”Adrian remained perfectly still as he faced Haroon’s attack. The former’s eyes darkened as he observed Haroon. Suddenly, Adrian realized how seamlessly Haroon executed his attacks. The latter

    However, to everyone’s surprise, Adrian suddenly vanished into thin air. Haroon’s seemingly powerful attack hit nothing but air.How was this possible?Haroon’s strike was clearly an all-encompassing assault, with no possible escape for his opponent. Yet, the current scene was utterly shocking.Not only was Haroon stunned, but the surrounding audience was also dumbfounded by this turn of events. They were all baffled as to how Adrian, a living person, could disappear without a trace.It seemed Adrian had more tricks up his sleeve! Where could this kid have gone?Haroon immediately retracted his illusions and stood still, looking around in an attempt to locate Adrian. However, Adrian had seemingly evaporated into thin air, completely vanishing without a trace.After searching for a long time without any sign of Adrian, Haroon finally shouted in frustration, “Come out! What kind of skill is it to hide like this?”No one responded.“Damn it...”Feeling deeply insulted, Haroon cou

    The countless sword-shaped shadows only had one purpose—to shatter Haroon’s defenses and obliterate him. He was shocked to face such a terrifying attack.Previously, Adrian did not seem particularly threatening. Hence, Haroon wondered how Adrian’s strength appeared to increase tenfold. The former gritted his teeth from the pressure he felt. As time passed, he sensed an overwhelming force threatening to crush him.At that moment, Adrian’s mocking voice echoed, “I suggest you surrender now, Haroon. Otherwise, my sword won’t stop.”Haroon could vaguely see Adrian’s figure amidst the countless sword-shaped shadows. Adrian’s presence seemed utterly unreachable to Haroon, like a towering figure he could never hope to touch.“Damn it! If this continues, I’m bound to lose!” Haroon knew he had to devise a countermeasure.“Wait!” Suddenly, an idea flashed through Haroon’s mind. He still had one last trump card. With a swift motion, he extended his hand and released a burst of black gas. Thi

    Haroon responded to Kayne's question in a mocking tone, “Conspiracy? What conspiracy?”The crowd erupted in disbelief. No one expected that, even after falling to such a low point, Haroon would remain stubborn. It seemed like he no longer valued his life.However, with Kayne present, the crowd refrained from saying much. No matter how despicable Haroon was, Kayne would ultimately be the one to punish him. With Edwin Wells, the higher elder, temporarily absent, Kayne was in charge of giving out punishment within the faction.Kayne extended his hand, and a wisp of black gas appeared in his palm. However, a force contained the black gas, preventing it from harming those present. He questioned sternly, “No conspiracy? Then what do you call this poison gas?”Haroon merely let out a cold snort and replied, “That was all me. I knew I couldn’t beat him, so I resorted to underhanded tactics to win. Is that not allowed?”“In that case, you will pay the price for your actions.” As Kayne’s wo

    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

    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

    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
