Chapter 841

Author: Celestial Clouds
Upon hearing Adrian’s explanation, Mya and Lincoln raised their heads and looked into the distance. The entire situation felt like some sort of scheme. If there was some sort of natural chemical compound here, the reason why Raiden had issued that mission was clear.

Mya felt terrified. ‘It was all a scheme.’

Lincoln’s hand that was holding his cane shook. “Everything seems very bizarre. Why did War Legate Raiden send Gloria’s squad here? What was their purpose? On the other hand, what caused the hallucinations earlier?”

They could not figure it out. The only thing they could do now was to carry on.

Mya hastily pulled out three respirators from her bag and said, “Thankfully, I prepared these. They’re useful against any toxic mist present in the rainforest. Let’s put them on.”

Mya fitted Adrian with one of the respirators. He said, “The respirators are useless. The hallucination isn’t airborne but a type of radiation that penetrates our clothing and enters our brains through our ski

    They approached the huge tree.At this very moment, Adrian spotted a woman leaning against the tree. She had a fair complexion, a face with delicate facial features, and her enticing figure was completely exposed. The woman was silent. She was so silent that it felt like she had fused with the rainforest.Adrian stopped upon seeing her. Mya looked around in astonishment. There were hundreds of bodies scattered across the ground, frozen in the positions they were in at their death. It was as if they had simply stopped being alive, their bodies unchanged.There were no signs of decay on these bodies.“Umm…” Mya widened her little mouth and looked around her in a daze.Lincoln patted Adrian’s shoulder emotionally. “Put me down.”Upon saying that, Lincoln got off Adrian’s back and limped toward the corpses on the ground. They were all wearing Wyvern Peak’s battle suits, and their suits had decayed after being exposed to the snow and wind for years. However, their bodies were still

    Mya was stunned upon hearing Adrian’s remark. If he was right, what item here could trigger a person’s central nervous system such that they would experience hallucination? Could it be mist?However, there was no mist in the rainforest. In other words, the radiation existed. Even if one was wearing a respirator and a hazmat suit, one would not be able to resist the effect of the radiation.But where was the radiation coming from?“Adrian, if that’s true, what’s causing it? Did War Legate Raiden maybe send his people to retrieve this item? It’s a shame that the information from that time has been destroyed.” Mya turned around on the spot and looked around her in frustration.Her comrades who died five years ago looked the same as they were in the past. The wounds on their bodies had already healed completely. Everything about the situation was telling Adrian and Mya that there was a huge secret hidden on Isle 416. Otherwise, the numerous outland countries would not have risked their

    Mya said, “This method is really effective, sir. Come, I’ll apply some for you! Hehe!”Mya giggled, walked over, and applied a messy layer over Adrian’s face before she applied some to his clothes. When she was done with the application, Adrian looked toward the depths of the rainforest and saw a mountain standing tall on the horizon.“The answers should be there. Let’s go and check it out,” Adrian said.“Yes, sir!” Mya answered.Adrian inhaled a deep breath, got down on his knees, and cupped Gloria’s face in his hands. He said, “Wait for me here. I’ll take you home after I’ve uncovered the secrets of this place.” He then stood up, turned around, and walked toward Lincoln.Lincoln was already dead, and he had a quick death. Adrian knew that this was his finishing point. Lincoln knew of this possible future and was mentally prepared for this before he came. It was possible that the homeward journey was the best ending for him.“Rest in peace, Link.”Adrian shut Lincoln’s eyes and

    Adrian’s expression was extremely calm. He turned his head and looked at Mya before he replied, “It’s not without scientific evidence. The healing of the wounds is a very convincing example. The island is different from other islands. A living person will be negatively affected by the radiation, but perhaps it can also change the body of a person who’s about to perish.”“Oh god! That sounds outrageous. Resurrection is—”Adrian interrupted Mya. “It’s not resurrection. It’s possible that Gloria and the others didn’t die but are on the brink of death. The radiation here changed their bodies and made their bodies enter a peculiar state. We’ll know after verifying it.”He suddenly stopped walking.“But how do we verify it?” Mya was stunned ever so slightly.In the next moment, Adrian retraced his steps. Moreover, he quickened his pace and ran toward the spot where Gloria’s corpse was at. Mya was startled and went after him. “Wait for me!”In less than ten minutes, Adrian and Mya were

    There was still room to redeem themselves.“Go and test the others,” Adrian instructed Mya.Mya nodded.They made their way to the other soldiers in the surroundings and made a cut on each of them. However, something unexpected happened. Blood seeped out of their wounds but it was thick and in a semi-coagulated state.They tested everyone there and received an outcome at last.Mya said, “Other than Gloria, the blood of the others has very low indexes. They were just like Gloria previously, but their blood is now slowly coagulating. What’s the reason behind this?”Adrian stood up, shut his eyes, and pondered over it. His gaze then landed on Gloria’s body. “The answer is Gloria. Search her,” he said.Mya hastily went to search Gloria’s body. A moment later, she found a rock-like object on Gloria. The rock was placed in the pocket of her battle suit.The rock was not huge, only about the size of one’s fist. However, it was hard to tell what it was and it looked very peculiar. Mya

    Mya quickly packed up her items and followed after Adrian. She had witnessed a miracle on this trip to Isle 416, and there was no telling what was waiting for them up ahead.Adrian carried Gloria and raised his head to look at the mountain deep in the rainforest, looking eager to get all the answers he was looking for from it. And that was exactly what he was doing.He said, “Gloria, if you’re still alive, I promise I’ll find a way to wake you. Can you hear me? We’re almost there. Just hold on.”Mya, similarly, was looking forward to getting answers. If Gloria was still alive, it meant that the biggest regret in Adrian’s life would be resolved.All of a sudden, a gale blew through the rainforest. It was so chilling that one would shiver despite the lack of cold. Mya shuddered, looked around her, and said, “Sir, what do you think we’ll find on the mountain? You mentioned that War Legate Raiden may be there too. Is that true?”Raiden was the previous legate of Wyvern Peak, and he he

    His wound was healed!The stab wound on Adrian’s chest had vanished. Not even a scar could be seen.“You’re…You’re healed? That’s too fast, right?” Mya said with widened eyes. However, she changed her perception and thought about it again. Then, she was no longer astonished. After all, things that transcended reality had happened here.Adrian said, “Looks like our speculations were right. The radiation here affects our bodies and speeds up our recovery ability.”Mya pursed her lips and said, “It has its advantages and disadvantages. We might already be dead if not for the plant juice. What is with that rock? It’s out of this world…”“We’ll find out tomorrow. Let’s get a good night’s rest tonight. We shall depart at the first light of the day tomorrow.”“Yes, sir.”***The next day, Adrian opened his eyes when sunlight shone on him through the gaps between the tree leaves. He found Mya next to him, packing her backpack next, and Gloria lying quietly on the ground.“You’re up. L

    In less than three minutes, Adrian and Mya arrived below the platform. Both of them were shocked when they looked at the scene up close.The platform was built into the mountain, and the material used was the rock found on this mountain. There were two same-sized coffins with different engravings placed on this platform entrance to the cave.The caves were clearly holes caused by explosions on the barren ground around the platform. There were clothes left behind, and also tools used to mine the mountain. Some of these tools could even be traced back to a few hundred years ago.However, the abandoned clothes came from different eras. Some were Wyvern Peak’s first battle suits from three hundred years ago, and there were some new ones that were produced just five years ago.Mya gazed at everything in astonishment. She began to wonder if Wyvern Peak’s troops were sent here to build the platform and coffins back in the past. After that, these soldiers left. However, it was simply all a

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
