Chapter 4470

Author: Celestial Clouds
The surge of powerful newcomers made things difficult for Adrian and his group. More competitors meant that claiming any prize would be tougher. And with so many vying for a share, there wouldn’t be enough for everyone.

Yet, if this was truly the tomb of an ancient emperor, any treasure inside could bring unimaginable fortune. Even a single artifact from such a figure could greatly boost one’s power and status, given the fearsome reputation of these ancient emperors.

Adrian’s gaze sharpened as he sensed a chilling presence in the distance. Moments earlier, he’d caught the aura of an immortal at the perfected Divine Stage. It was a sign that serious players had entered the fray. It likely meant a high-stakes showdown was coming, and Adrian knew that, for now, keeping a low profile would be wise.

Turning to Tyron, Adrian suggested, “Maybe we should disguise ourselves to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

“Good idea,” Tyron agreed.

With a swift motion, Tyron altered his appearance, impressi

    Adrian shook his head in mild exasperation, feeling Tyron had underestimated the power of this technique. If humans struggled to detect such "tricks," then the daemons might indeed cause chaos.Only now did Adrian understand how the daemons had remained so elusive. Without grasping the methods behind these hidden techniques, they were nearly impossible to detect.Suddenly, a thunderous boom erupted from afar as someone launched an assault on the barrier. The attacker’s impatience reached a peak as he bellowed, “Damn it!”Adrian watched, mild disbelief on his face, as the person hammered recklessly at the barrier. I was as though he believed he could shatter it by force. Yet, the barrier was formidable and would not yield easily.The barrier shuddered under the relentless assault, seeming almost ready to break. The crowd looked on in astonishment, their eyes widening as they held their breath, shocked that the supposedly impenetrable barrier might actually give way.Then, a deafeni

    The crowd erupted in fear as the old man’s words gave voice to a horrifying possibility: blood sacrifice. The realization was overwhelming. Such a method was deeply sinister, and only ancient tombs sealed for millennia demanded a price mortals could barely fathom.Faces marked by shock and unease, everyone cast furtive glances at one another, knowing what a blood sacrifice meant. Someone would need to be offered up, but who? No one was willing to volunteer as it meant certain death. The stronger immortals’ eyes began to narrow, focusing on the weaker ones among them.One of the Divines, a look of icy command on his face, spoke up, “We’ll establish a hierarchy. Those of the lowest level will go forward first. If you survive, count yourself lucky. If not, accept your fate.”Fury stirred among the weaker practitioners, but they were powerless to resist.The Divine’s eyes glinted coldly as he added, “Any objections? Step forward if you do.”A young man stepped out, defiance in his sta

    The young man was consumed by rage at the figure's menacing demand, fully aware that only torment and death awaited him. "I refuse! You’ll suffer for this!" he shouted defiantly, launching himself forward.Suddenly, torrents of lightning rained down with a deafening roar. The chaotic destruction was swift, and the young man was obliterated before the horrified onlookers could even react. The terrifying force left no room for resistance or escape. By the time they grasped what had happened, it was too late.A heavy silence followed as the leading Divine glowered, his dissatisfaction palpable. “If you won’t step forward yourselves, I’ll select you,” he growled coldly. “Allies, help me send these feeble souls to the front.”As his voice faded, threads of power emerged in his grasp, and those nearby nodded in agreement, deciding that the weaker ones should serve as the first line of defense. The singled-out individuals tried to resist in terror, but their cries went unheard.“If you

    Everyone was filled with shock as they pondered what might come next. The unfolding events hinted at the unfathomable nature of the ancient tomb before them.Suddenly, terrifying bursts of energy erupted from within the tomb. To Adrian, this sight brought a chilling realization. He could clearly sense a terrifying power surging wildly in the depths ahead. Even the slightest misstep could sweep him away like a helpless leaf caught in a violent tide.“Hmm, definitely no ordinary place,” Adrian murmured, glancing at Tyron who was wide-eyed with astonishment.Rumbles echoed ominously as tremors spread across the land, accompanied by an eerie, endless chorus of screams emanating from the tomb. The bone-chilling sound made Adrian's expression grow grim.The cries filled the air, and alarm spread across everyone’s faces. None had anticipated such terrifying sounds. It was as though countless souls had met their end within these walls. Some instinctively wanted to flee, yet the allure of t

    The crowd longed for the hidden power to emerge and speak.In the midst of the tension, another Divine could no longer restrain himself. “Hmph! You’re just in the middle Divine Stage. What right do you have to shout so boldly? Do you truly think you’re invincible? Sending these people to their deaths is a crime against humanity.”“Their lives are worth no more than weeds,” the first Divine retorted, his expression turning icy. “You’re also at the middle Divine Stage. Even if we fought, it would be difficult to determine a clear victor. If you wish to die for these people, feel free to step forward. I won’t stop you. But if you don’t want to, then keep quiet. I’m sure everyone wants to see what lies within this ancient tomb.”The opposing Divine’s anger flared at the first Divine’s defiance. “Are you really sure this is the ancient tomb? In such a wicked place, with thunder crashing down from the void, we might all turn to ashes. What purpose does it serve to send these innocent peop

    The Divine’s simple statement conveyed his grim resolve. It looked like he was prepared to go down with whoever stood against him.Those around him sneered at his sudden desperation. Moments ago, he had been arrogant and untouchable. Yet now, facing an unseen threat, his bravado had vanished, replaced with fear. The crowd saw this as both pathetic and amusing. When danger wasn’t upon him, he acted as though he were invincible. But now that it was, he showed his true colors.Another powerful expert scoffed. “You’re a disgrace to us. You enjoy beating down others but look at you now. You’re pathetic.”The Divine, filled with killing intent, snapped back, “Shut up! You don’t know anything. You’re just running your mouth.”He lashed out violently, clinging to the belief that he was in the right while everyone else was wrong. But as he raged, a terrifying force suddenly tore through the void, smashing down upon his head.Boom!The impact struck him, and he had no chance to resist. He

    Observing the scene, Adrian understood that a powerful treasure likely lay hidden within the mountain range ahead. However, obtaining it would come at a steep cost. To stand out among so many people, one would need extraordinary strength and resilience. Without them, approaching the area would be foolish. This situation hinted at an imminent bloodbath. With a plan forming in his mind, Adrian decided he would strike boldly if the others hesitated to move forward.After witnessing a powerful expert being dealt with effortlessly, everyone fell silent. Though they had a clear path ahead, fear held them back. They all hoped someone else would make the first move and open the way. Everyone exchanged glances, looking at one another to see who would go first.Suddenly, thunder boomed and bolts of divine lightning struck down. A Divine who had ventured too close was instantly reduced to ashes, his soul vanishing from existence with no chance of reincarnation. Seeing this, the crowd was stri

    Hearing Adrian's suggestion, Tyron nodded in agreement. Adrian's advice made sense. If they acted recklessly, they might draw unwanted attention. Waiting and observing was indeed the best strategy for now.Meanwhile, the group continued to unleash their energy. A Divine looked into the distance and called out, “Everyone, give it your all. If we break this barrier, we’ll all be able to enter the ancient tomb and share the rewards. It’s just a matter of time.”Though everyone knew his words were a bit exaggerated, they understood that breaking the barrier was the real priority. Without doing so, they could wait a hundred years and get nowhere.The immortals formed complex hand seals, weaving their energies in the void like interlocking chains. The combined power surged into a massive energy wave, glowing in vibrant colors as it swelled and coalesced into a colossal energy sphere aimed directly at the barrier.Sensing this human energy, the divine lightning in the sky began to tremble

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'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

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.

    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.

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.
