Chapter 733

Author: Celestial Clouds
Adrian thought it was impossible that the Eight Hollows had appeared, as it was not the time for them to do so.

Emily refuted this by saying, “Bloody Rose investigated this matter and came to a conclusion that it was them who showed up in the outlands, but we have no idea what the Eight Hollows were trying to achieve. You may look into this matter yourself.”

Adrian furrowed his eyebrows. He had never paid attention to the Eight Hollows in the past because they had not shown up since Wyvern Peak was founded. They were untraceable throughout Navia’s history. However, that did not mean that they did not exist.

“What else do you know?” asked Adrian.

Emily answered without even thinking twice, “Bloody Rose is mutually built by many countries in the outlands, and Internal Affairs’ Chase holds a ten percent share in Bloody Rose.

“Chase and Bloody Rose are working together. Their goal is to destroy Wyvern Peak. Hence, Bloody Rose is to assassinate those whose names appear in the prophecy.

    “Wyvern Peak has yet to come to its demise. Neither have there been any orders from you and the ten elders. What could they possibly be up to? Out for some fresh air?”Adrian shook his head. “You shouldn’t put it that way. There’s no absolution in many situations.“I shall leave Southrive to you, Blade, and Storm. I’ll be heading to ACMA to figure out the Eight Hollows’ current location.”Mya nodded, understanding that if the Eight Hollows really had appeared, it was not a good omen. She said, “Understood, sir. I shall reach out to Lucas and the rest. When will you be departing?”“This afternoon.”Upon saying that, Adrian walked out of Battle Warrior Tower and entrusted Mya with a task by saying, “Alert me immediately if anything happens in Southrive during my absence.”***Adrian returned to One Jewel Road after he left Battle Warrior Tower. He wanted to inform Samantha before departing to Azure Creek in the afternoon.He told Samantha and Rue about his trip to Azure Creek whe

    Adrian traveled all night long and arrived at Azure Creek the next morning.A man wearing a general’s insignia on the shoulder of his uniform was waiting at the entrance of the city with a troop of subordinates.The man was Daniel. Adrian had transferred him to Azure Creek, and he had not left since.Daniel led a troop of subordinates to welcome Adrian after he heard about Adrian’s purpose for visiting the city.“Welcome, sir.” He approached Adrian with his subordinates as soon as Adrian arrived in his car.Adrian said, “Let’s head to ACMA. We’ll talk on the way.”“Sure. Please get in, sir.” Daniel beckoned at a car.Adrian and Daniel got in and drove to Azure Creek University.As they entered the city, Adrian discovered many citizens were standing by the sides of the road. They were waving at him enthusiastically.Daniel chuckled and said after witnessing the scene, “The citizens of Azure Creek gathered on their own initiative to welcome your arrival hearing that War Legate D

    After some time, Adrian arrived at Azure Creek University.This university was the largest in Navia, with the military academy and other faculties encased within it. The scale of the university was massive and was divided into eight campuses, and each campus was an independent school.The university had close to three million students.After entering Azure Creek University, Adrian got out of the car and said to Daniel, “Assign people to investigate the matter and inform the elders that we’ll be joining them for dinner tonight.”“All right, I’ll go do that now.”Daniel drove away upon saying that.Adrian walked toward the military academy campus with the gifts prepared by Rue and Samantha.There were thousands of students undergoing training at the training grounds. The sound of shouts was heard coming from the various training grounds and all the instructors were staring sternly at the students.Soon enough, Adrian spotted Juno’s training camp and walked toward it. The students

    After briefly speaking to Kaiden, Adrian fell silent and stood there, watching Juno’s training.The second team had already completed the forced march around the training ground. All the students were bending over and breathing heavily. Meanwhile, someone noticed Kaiden and Adrian standing not far away.A female student tapped Juno’s shoulder and said softly, “Look, Juno. That man standing next to our instructor is really good-looking. They seem to be watching you.”All women enjoyed gossiping. A few female students looked over in unison and chimed in the conversation.“You’re right. That man is really handsome. He’s so manly!”“Is there such a person in our academy?”The women had a lively discussion.Juno looked over in puzzlement and was instantly stunned when she saw Adrian standing next to Kaiden. She recognized him at a glance. Juno was rather astonished and had not expected Adrian to show up in the academy.Noticing that Adrian was looking at her, Juno smiled, stood up

    Adrian and Juno walked to the side.He asked, “You’ve been here for a few months now. How do you feel? Do you regret coming here? If you do, I can take you home.”Juno shook her head smilingly and said, “I don’t regret it. Why would I? I’m having a ball of a time here in the academy. Moreover, my mates are really nice. We train and learn together every day and go out to eat, chill, and have fun after class. I’ve never been happier.”Adrian patted Juno’s shoulder. “When Isla entrusted you to me, I didn’t expect that it’d turn out like this one day. This is a difficult path but I hope that you can persist.”“Why did you have to bring up my mother?” said Juno while pouting.“You have to remember her at all times. After all, it wasn’t easy for her. You have to learn to choose wisely, think thoroughly, and learn to control your emotions from now on.“I heard from Kai about your condition earlier. If your legs hurt, don’t force yourself. Remember to tell Kai in a timely manner, okay?”

    A few battle warriors expressed their opinions in succession.Adrian ate silently.The ten elders watched him and waited for him to speak, including Martin.Adrian ate for a while, then said, “What’s your opinion, elders? Let’s hear it.”The elders exchanged glances with each other. The first elder said, “We won’t go along with this matter and worry ourselves. It’s your duty to deal with Chase. I believe that you’ll make the decision regarding Windton. We’re here today to discuss the Eight Hollows.”The severity of the situation with the Eight Hollows had surpassed the problem with Chase, and that was all the elders were interested in.Adrian beckoned the first elder to continue speaking while he ate his meal.“We already had a meeting to discuss the matter after receiving news from you today. It’s possible that the Eight Hollows are out and about because we’ve noticed some signs of disturbances as well,” said the first elder.Adrian raised his head to look toward the first eld

    “Bring it here,” said Adrian.“Yes, sir,” Martin answered and procured the book.Adrian placed it on the table, beckoned, and said, “Take a look, everyone. We shall discuss strategy after everyone is done reading.”The battle warriors stood around the book and read it in silence while Adrian continued to eat.About fifteen minutes later, Lucas put down the book and said, “We’re done, sir.”Adrian asked, “Any opinion?”Lucas inhaled a deep breath. “My only opinion is that the book is amazing. How can someone in the past possibly know the future like the back of their hand? In fact, this person knew about us as well.”Caine said, “You’re right. It’s clear that this has surpassed our logical thinking and is way beyond our thinking methods. The contents of the book are unbelievable.”Adrian smiled upon hearing these opinions and then looked toward the elders, observing their expressions.When the elders were done reading, Adrian smiled and said, “Elders, do you find the book incre

    The elders nodded upon hearing Adrian’s orders.The current situation was confusing, and Wyvern Peak could only investigate the situation after eliminating Chase and gaining full authority. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to do anything with Internal Affairs obstructing their way.The tenth elder said, “In view of the current situation, we should prioritize Internal Affairs’ Chase. We elders will investigate the Eight Hollows while you eliminate Chase as soon as possible, Draco.”The first elder said, “Looks like that that's the only way now. However, your two-year term of being the legate is almost up, Draco. Wyvern Peak has already been dissolved now, so there’s no way to choose a new one. We have discussed it and decided to extend your term to four years according to our usual practice.”In the past, the next generation’s war legate was chosen through various tryouts. However, the tryouts could not be held in Wyvern Peak for the time being so the election of a new war

    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
