The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3948
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

Irene said, "There's nothing strange about it, Adrian. It's probably just your imagination. In any case, don’t worry too much right now."“Wait, I think I’ve realized something.” Despite what everyone was saying, Adrian's gaze suddenly sharpened.Startled, the group immediately turned their attention to him.Adrian said, “Didn’t you guys notice anything unusual about Mr. Kayne?”Since Adrian and Tyron were new, their understanding of Kayne was limited. However, Irene and Orson had been with the faction for a long time. The two exchanged a glance, momentarily unsure of what Adrian was implying.Adrian then voiced his suspicion, “Why did Mr. Kayne kill Haroon so hastily? Was he trying to hide something?”This question made Irene and Orson relax. “So that’s what you were thinking. We thought you were worried about something else.”Orson explained, “Mr. Kayne has always been impulsive; that’s just how he is. But luckily, all the remnants of the daemonic god have been captured, so we

Upon hearing Kayne's words, Darcie's eyes lit up. "So, you've already set your sights on this young man?"Kayne didn’t deny it. "That's right. I’ve had my eye on him for a while. He has great strength and boundless potential, so I’m willing to take him under my wing."Seeing Kayne speak so decisively, Darcie didn’t argue. "The techniques I practice aren’t suitable for him anyway. Since you’re so determined, I’ll reluctantly concede and let you have him."While the elders were discussing how to bring Adrian in as an apprentice, Adrian himself was completely unaware. In the following days, everything remained calm. For the outer apprentices, their most important task was preparing for the upcoming inner apprentice trial.This trial occurred once every five years. Aside from the requirement that participants must be outer apprentices of Purecastle, there were no other restrictions. Anyone was eligible to participate in the trial, even if they had only joined Purecastle the previous da

After hearing their explanation, Adrian felt relieved. "I thought it was something more complicated, but it turns out it’s just this. In that case, I’ll agree to it," he said.He was then told about the rules of the trial. Although it was called a trial, it was more of a competition with specific guidelines. All outer apprentices could form teams of their own liking. Ten teams had been formed so far, each with around a hundred members. These ten teams would enter Hidden Dragon Hill to eliminate the remnants of the daemonic god."This approach isn’t bad; it also gives the apprentices a chance to compete with each other," Adrian commented.With the rules set by the faction, Adrian and the others prepared themselves and finally embarked on their daemon-elimination journey.…Meanwhile, in a secluded corner deep within Purecastle, a shadowy figure stood tall, facing a terrifying daemon. The daemon appeared illusory, caught between reality and illusion, emitting an eerie vibe."I’m st
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3952
Even though Hidden Dragon Hill was fraught with danger, this formation could hold out for a while."Let’s continue forward then," Adrian commanded.The team quickened their pace toward Hidden Dragon Hill. The closer they got, the more they could sense the growing concentration of daemonic essence in the air.Tyron said, "It seems the information from the faction’s higher-ups was accurate. There are indeed a lot of daemonic creatures in Hidden Dragon Hill.""We shouldn’t be too sure," Adrian cautioned. "From the surface, it only seems like there is abundant daemonic essence here. Whether there are actual daemonic creatures present hasn’t been confirmed yet."Though places with abundant daemonic essence typically had many daemonic creatures, Adrian’s caution was justified. Fortunately, their formation protected them from toxic gasses, and their progress went smoothly thanks to the formation’s defense.Adrian’s team, composed of powerful individuals from various realms, moved effici

Adrian smiled slightly, "Indeed, but this guy might not be as terrifying as you think."The dark cloud began to churn rapidly and an overwhelmingly terrifying force descended from the sky. This power condensed before Adrian’s team, taking the form of a humanoid figure dressed in a black robe. The powerful daemonic essence emanated from his body, enveloping everyone present."Oh? Is that so? Do you know what a disastrous fate awaits those who underestimate me?" The black-robed man’s lips curled into a cold smile.Adrian responded coldly, "I don’t care who or what you are. You’ll definitely die here today." A surge of sword essence enveloped him, unleashing a formidable offensive aura.Swish!Instantly, everyone felt a refreshing clarity.The black-robed man snorted coldly. "A mere parlor trick, hardly worth mentioning."When the black-robed man touched down, his powerful aura covered the entire area, creating a suffocating pressure even for those behind the formation. Adrian’s sw

The black-robed man staggered back several steps, his face paling. He glared at Adrian with burning anger, clearly having been significantly damaged by the attack."You're quite something to have broken through my defenses," the man said sinisterly. "But even so, you all will die here today."Once again, dark clouds surged around him, rapidly gathering into an overwhelming storm. Faced with the intensifying black clouds, the team felt the pressure mounting once more.Adrian instructed, "Everyone, focus your minds and breathe through your energy core. Do not breathe through your nose, or you won’t be able to resist the daemonic essence."Having just fought a brief skirmish, Adrian had quickly grasped the opponent’s tactics and provided the necessary guidance. The team followed his instructions, holding their breath and infusing more energy into their crystals. The crystals’ light grew even more dazzling, enveloping Adrian in a radiant silver glow.Adrian condensed his energy into a

Although the teams were in competition during the trial, Adrian didn’t want his fellow apprentices to fall victim to the daemons. Given the dire situation, he decided to help.Adrian’s team traveled through several mountain ranges and soon reached the source of the distress call—a valley where apprentices were trapped and surrounded by a large number of daemons. The daemons pressed closer, leaving the apprentices with no escape and forcing them into a desperate retreat.Seeing the apprentices on the verge of being overwhelmed, Adrian’s team arrived just in time. Fortunately, the daemons were not very powerful and were no match for Adrian’s team. They swiftly dealt with the daemons, destroying them effortlessly."Are you all alright?" Adrian asked, approaching the other teams with concern. He quickly assessed that the apprentices had suffered heavy casualties.Each team initially had between one hundred to one hundred thirty members, but this team had lost more than two-thirds of it

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
