Chapter 4198

Author: Celestial Clouds
The Violet Rain Bird couldn't be sure if Adrian would truly honor his promise to dissolve the contract after the latter got what he wanted.

Adrian understood the bird's thoughts but chose not to press the issue. He was willing to wait for it to make up its mind. After all, he had been busy for days, and a little more time wouldn’t hurt. A strong mount would save them effort and help them move faster. Otherwise, they would soon exhaust themselves traversing this vast forest.

Time passed slowly, and the Violet Rain Bird became utterly worn out. Its body was covered in wounds, with no unscathed skin left. Yet, Adrian's expression remained cold. He felt no sympathy for the creature.

"You despicable human! Do you really want me dead so badly?!" the Violet Rain Bird roared in rage, feeling that Adrian had gone too far.

Adrian replied, "Oh, really? I'll give you three more minutes. If you don’t agree by then, I’ll kill you right here. If you want to self-destruct, go ahead. I’ve already o

    Boom!A terrifying tremor erupted. The Violet Rain Bird instinctively resisted forming a contract with Adrian, but given the circumstances, it could only offer token resistance.Adrian smiled, fully aware of the bird's internal struggle. It was clearly waiting for an opportunity to escape, but now that the contract had been signed, escape was impossible.In a short time, the contract was established. The Violet Rain Bird was relatively young, having lived just over a hundred years, which marked adulthood in the realm of beasts. As Adrian examined the Violet Rain Bird's bloodline, he was astonished to discover it was a descendant of an ancient phoenix.His gaze sharpened, thinking this was quite favorable. However, he also realized he might need to fulfill the terms of their agreement. He pondered whether he would be able to take the Violet Rain Bird with him but decided he was overthinking it. For now, his priority was to locate the Phoenix Tree and the Prism Stone."Now that we'v

    The Violet Rain Bird's pupils widened in shock at Adrian's display of power. It began to realize that choosing Adrian as its master might not have been a mistake, after all. With such immense strength, aligning with Adrian could prove beneficial for the bird."Come out now," Adrian said. "You're severely injured, and we need to find a safe place for you to recover. Try to shrink your body a bit."The Violet Rain Bird readily agreed. Given its injuries, remaining in its large form was unfavorable. Finding a safe spot to rest and regain its strength was essential."Understood, Master," the Violet Rain Bird replied, fully obeying Adrian's instructions.Without hesitation, they left the area. The recent commotion had likely disturbed the surrounding forest, and curious humans might soon arrive to investigate. In this secret realm, rare treasures and countless opportunities awaited those willing to seize them. The disturbances hinted at hidden possibilities, and exploration was the only

    As time passed, the Violet Rain Bird recovered.Tyron took out a beast core and said, "Adrian, this is the core of the Ivy Electro Serpent. You injured it severely, and I only delivered the final blow. This belongs to you."He handed the core to Adrian without hesitation, even though it was the core of a peak Astral beast. Anyone else would have felt greedy at the sight of such a treasure as it could significantly enhance their power.Adrian's eyes widened in surprise. "Tyron, we both earned this together. I can't take it all for myself. That would be ungrateful and dishonorable. We should share its benefits, especially since the Violet Rain Bird still needs time to fully recover." He glanced at the Violet Rain Bird, noting its severe injuries and the long road ahead for its recovery.Tyron felt deeply moved by Adrian's words. Although the core was rightfully earned through Adrian's efforts, with Tyron only delivering the final blow, he recognized that Adrian could have finished of

    "Tyron, let's skip the formalities. We should hurry and absorb this inner core so we can both grow stronger," Adrian said.They sat cross-legged with the beast's inner core floating between them. "Once we absorb it, we'll definitely become much stronger," Adrian added confidently.Tyron nodded, choosing not to say more. He knew that talking too much would only make him seem long-winded or overly dramatic. Following Adrian was clearly the wisest choice.As they began to absorb the core's power, a terrifying energy surged through their bodies, sending violent waves over their skin. Adrian was surrounded by azure and golden light, while Tyron was enveloped in a white glow. Although their radiance was different, it was evident that Adrian's strength was far greater, his entire being pulsing with immense power. Just one glance was enough to show who held the superior strength.Tyron sensed this and felt a wave of awe. However, he wasn’t jealous. He believed Adrian was meant to be this

    "If Master continues cultivating like this, he might break through to the mid-Astral Stage in no time," the Violet Rain Bird exclaimed in shock.The bird was amazed that Adrian, who had only recently reached the early stage, was already on the verge of another breakthrough. Such rapid progress in such a short time seemed impossible for anyone but Adrian.The Violet Rain Bird's heart trembled as it sensed the frenzied expansion of Adrian’s power.Boom!Suddenly, a terrifying force erupted from Adrian's body, reverberating through the surroundings. The Violet Rain Bird was left speechless. Adrian’s power exceeded its understanding of what a genius could achieve. In contrast, Tyron was also absorbing power, but his aura was nowhere near as overwhelming as Adrian's.Adrian felt the intense waves of energy surging within him. A breakthrough was imminent, and he was in an excellent mood. His acupoints opened in a frenzy, and energy overflowed uncontrollably in his body, causing a mix of

    Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird exchanged expressions of shock and awe, realizing just how terrifying Adrian had become. They could sense the tremors of his power building. While the Violet Rain Bird had suspected Adrian's potential, witnessing his overwhelming strength firsthand was truly astonishing.Half an hour passed, yet Adrian still hadn’t achieved his breakthrough. Concerned, Tyron remarked, “Is it possible that Adrian might fail to break through this time?”Hearing this, the Violet Rain Bird’s eyes sparkled with determination. “I’ll lend Master Adrian a helping hand.” Adrian's growth was beneficial for the Violet Rain Bird as well. If Adrian remained too weak, he could face dire consequences in the secret realm. This was the essence of their bond. The stronger Adrian became, the more secure the Violet Rain Bird felt by his side.Tyron was taken aback, never expecting the Violet Rain Bird to actively support Adrian. It seemed the creature had shifted from defiance to a will

    When the Violet Rain Bird began to submit, Adrian felt a twinge of doubt. Although it had acknowledged him as its master, the notion of true recognition felt mystical. If the bird had hidden motives, he wouldn’t fully grasp its thoughts or exert true control over it.Forcing someone into submission often felt implausible. However, the bird's current actions convinced Adrian of its sincere loyalty, which reassured him. As these thoughts swirled in his mind, a surge of powerful energy coursed through his body.In the next moment, the energy surged fiercely within Adrian, forcefully opening his acupoints, leaving him both surprised and delighted."Rise!" he bellowed, and an overwhelming force erupted from him.Tyron and the bird's eyes widened in shock. They hadn’t expected Adrian's power to be so terrifying. It felt as though he had shattered the shackles that bound him, sending waves of astonishment through their minds. Adrian's strength had surpassed their understanding, filling th

    Both Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were stunned by Adrian's breakthrough. They had never expected him to reach such an impressive level of power."Adrian, you did it! I can't even begin to understand how," Tyron exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock. He found Adrian’s achievement remarkable, leaving him speechless. It was clear Adrian's talent was far beyond what most people could hope to achieve.Adrian, feeling the strength he had just gained, opened his eyes and smiled. But when he noticed the odd looks Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were giving him, he was puzzled."Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Adrian asked.Tyron, still in disbelief, responded, "You don't seem human. Your talent is extraordinary. It's hard to understand how you possess such power. You're a genius!"I used to think I was just one step behind you, but now I see the gap between us is enormous. It's nearly impossible to reach your level."Adrian was caught off guard by this

    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

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.

    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.
