Chapter 4622

Author: Celestial Clouds
The group of black-clad men stared menacingly at Renee, and their leader said in a calm but chilling tone, "Since Princess Renee refuses to cooperate, we should simply have to take matters into our own hands."

With that, the group charged forward like a pack of ravenous wolves.

"Haha! We’re coming, Princess!" one of them shouted.

Renee’s face darkened at the sight. She knew these men wouldn’t spare her, and the fury in her heart burned brightly. But despite her anger, she felt utterly helpless. The situation was completely beyond her control.

To get them to stop, Renee would have to comply with their demands. But she understood all too well that doing so would be futile. After all, giving in would only seal her doom in another way.

Behind Renee, Adrian remained cocooned within the earthy-yellow sphere. The chaos outside seemed to have no bearing on him as he lay unconscious, his fragile life force flickering faintly like a dying ember.

Protecting Adrian had become a burden Renee

    Suddenly, distant sounds echoed through the air, growing louder and closer. A voice, firm and resolute, called out, “Princess Renee, we’ve come to help!"From afar, the sound of galloping horses and clashing armor thundered closer. Renee’s eyes widened in astonishment. The voice was strikingly familiar—it was the commanders of the Ciawales soldiers.Renee stood frozen, overwhelmed by the unexpected sight. What was happening? She watched as a group of well-armed soldiers charged forward, their banners unmistakable. Relief washed over her face as hope rekindled in her heart.The black-clad men, on the other hand, were visibly alarmed. "Ciawales soldiers? What’s going on? Didn’t we ensure they wouldn’t be alerted? How are they here?"The leader barked out, “Retreat!”But before they could escape, the Ciawales soldiers encircled them. Their commander shouted, “How dare you attempt to assassinate the princess! Unforgivable! Kill them all!”At his command, the Ciawales soldiers stormed

    "Hmph! These people wanted to stop me from returning, fearing I might see my father. But no matter how hard they try, I have made it back!” Renee growled.Henryk looked at Renee with a mix of curiosity and concern. “Princess, you’ve endured much. May I ask about the person by your side though? I sense a faint, almost vanishing life force emanating from this earthy-yellow sphere. Who is this? Why would you go to such lengths to protect him?”As Henryk drew closer earlier, he noticed that the sphere Renee was guarding contained a person. His aura was frail, teetering on the brink of death. It was clear this person held immense significance to her.Renee responded with a faint smile. “This person is extraordinarily important to me. I have to bring him back to the capital and have him treated, no matter the cost. Though his life force is weak, I’m certain he’ll pull through.”Henryk sighed inwardly. He could sense the person’s dwindling vitality. It was so faint it seemed they had litt

    "You..."A streak of crimson appeared on the man’s neck. He collapsed to the ground, and his life was extinguished in the blink of an eye. From that moment on, the world knew him no more.Clap! Clap! Clap!Justin burst into applause as a slightly stooped figure slowly entered the hall. The man’s graying hair bore witness to the passage of time, and his hunched back and solemn demeanor evoked a sense of unease.“Your humble servant, Hamilton, pays you his respects, Your Highness.” The elder gave a slight bow.Justin quickly responded, “Mr. Hamilton, there’s no need for such formalities. You are my esteemed guest. Please, dispense with such courtesies. Last time was a lapse of judgment on my part, but I humbly ask for your assistance now. I need you to eliminate Renee.”Justin's tone was deferential. He had learned his lesson. The last time he had enlisted Hamilton alongside ordinary assassins, it had offended the man, who then used an excuse to withdraw and rest. Realizing his mis

    Henryk stared at the scene before him, his tense expression easing slightly. With a faint smile, he said, "Please don't worry, Your Highness. I believe he’s just experiencing terminal lucidity."The phrase "terminal lucidity" stunned Renee. She found Henryk's words frustrating. She had been holding out hope for Adrian to wake up, but Henryk’s remark just declared that Adrian was nearing his end."Hmph! I believe he will wake up. Let’s keep moving forward. Ciawales is just ahead, and there will be someone there to treat him," Renee said resolutely.The soldiers standing nearby were taken aback by Renee’s determination. They couldn’t understand why she was so insistent, and their curiosity about the person inside the yellowish-brown orb grew even stronger."Could he be someone important to the princess?" one person speculated with a look of surprise.Another responded, "He must be. Otherwise, given Princess Renee’s temperament, she wouldn't be acting like this.""Hmph! Who gave you

    Sharp, whistling projectiles streaked through the air again, resembling thunderbolts aimed directly at their heads. Golden light burst forth, and the mountains trembled under the assault."Hamilton! It's you!" Henryk stared in shock at the newcomer, his face darkening. He hadn't expected Justin to send such a powerful figure to kill Renee. This was disastrous."Henryk, is it? Since you've seen me today, you won't be leaving alive," the aged Hamilton said coldly as he raised his hand."Ahhhh!"Henryk's subordinates were instantly gravely injured, utterly defenseless against Hamilton's overwhelming strength. This Fusion powerhouse was terrifying and merciless, annihilating the soldiers like mere ants.Boom!A devastating blow rippled outward, leaving a vast empty space before them. The world seemed to fall silent, unnervingly still. Henryk's expression turned grim as Renee dismounted and walked forward."Do you think we can win, General Henryk?" Renee whispered.Henryk shook his

    Renee flared with anger at Hamilton's words. She hadn't expected him to fixate on Adrian, who was currently so fragile that a single slap could snuff out his life."I’m your target here! Kill me if you must, but leave him alone!" Renee stepped in front of Adrian, her gaze firm with unwavering determination.At this moment, Renee fully understood that neither she nor Adrian could escape this place. Knowing she was no match for a Fusion, she decided to make a desperate stand. With Henryk’s help, there might still be a sliver of hope. Adrian was entirely innocent. Perhaps if she had left him elsewhere and not brought him along, he wouldn’t be in such grave danger now."Is that so? But I happen to be very interested in the person beside you. Neither of you will leave here alive today," Hamilton said coldly, his sharp gaze landing on Adrian behind Renee. The person wrapped in the yellowish-brown orb piqued his curiosity, adding to the intrigue of the situation.Boom!A thunderous tremo

    Whoosh!The wind howled, and the sky and ground trembled under Hamilton’s strike, creating an astonishing spectacle.Renee was momentarily stunned, not expecting Hamilton to be so unrelentingly ruthless. With a single strike, he was determined to obliterate Adrian."Stop him!" she roared, commanding Henryk to block Hamilton.Henryk attempted to intervene, but it was already too late. The overwhelming force crashed directly into the yellowish-brown orb encasing Adrian.Bam!Boom!The impact created a massive crater, a sight that was nothing short of terrifying. Renee froze in place, her mind blank. Was Adrian completely buried? A full-force strike from a Fusion was devastating beyond measure.Boom, boom, boom!The world before them exploded into chaos, turning into a horrifying scene of destruction. The air seemed to quiver from the force, and the sheer terror of the situation was palpable.Whoosh!Suddenly, a cool breeze swept through, and the surroundings inexplicably retur

    Renee stared at the overwhelming power rushing toward her, a flicker of despair glimmering in her eyes. She fully understood the dire situation she was in. Hamilton’s strength, like a raging tidal wave, surged toward her with unstoppable force, threatening to crush her.Henryk could not stand idly by. He shouted in fury, "Watch out, Princess!"He unleashed a torrent of violent energy, colliding with Hamilton’s attack. The two forces clashed violently, creating an explosive surge that ricocheted toward Henryk and Renee.Bam!Both Henryk and Renee were sent flying, slamming into the ground with brutal force. Even the ancient towering trees in the distance trembled from the impact.In the enormous crater where Adrian lay encased in his orb, faint yellow light began to glow. Strangely, instead of dimming, the light grew stronger as though absorbing the power of the Fusion. The orb surrounding Adrian greedily consumed the energy, yet Hamilton seemed oblivious to this peculiar phenomeno

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?

    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. 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.

    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
