Chapter 2780
Instead of the well-trained Sovereign Aegis guards and their advisors, Dustin was surrounded by a throng of people of all kinds, panic-stricken and bewildered.Some were ordinary civilians, shivering in fear. Others were martial artists gripping their weapons and scanning their surroundings with wary eyes. There were rogue cultivators in mismatched clothing, each with a distinct energy wave. Even personnel from the various factions who had remained at the mountain's base camp were now mixed into the crowd, all of them thrown together like gravel dumped from a cart."This… Is this Mount Aethermoor? How did we end up here?""It was that golden light. The formation must've brought us here.""Good heavens! It's so high and terrifying. How are we supposed to get down?""My child! Has anyone seen my child?"Cries, screams, curses, and questions rose in a cacophony, creating a scene of utter chaos.Dustin forced himself to stay calm and scanned his surroundings. He stood near the edg

Climbing teams from various factions struggled up the different slopes of Mount Aethermoor as they fought for opportunity and survival.At the base of the mountain stood a massive abandoned city. It was surrounded by a sea of temporary camps with tens of thousands still lingering there.Among them were a small number of civilians who hadn't fully evacuated, and personnel left behind by various factions to handle logistics and supplies. There were also rogue cultivators and wandering martial artists who were drawn by rumors but hesitated to venture close.Grace and Dustin remained behind, overseeing operations or calmly observing how the situation developed.None of them realized that Mount Aethermoor, a sacred peak silent for 3,000 years, had never limited its trials to those who climbed it.At midday, an abrupt change occurred. Without warning, the base of the mountain suddenly lit up with countless crisscrossing, intricately complex golden sigils.The glowing lines spread benea

The Jornell family was masters of stormcraft; they had a relatively high resistance to the forces of wind and thunder. Plus, their cultivation methods resonated with the environment here. Their morale was high. However, the dangers of Storm Ridge far exceeded their expectations. The astral wind was no ordinary mountain gust. Mixed within it was the Aetherwind Essence drawn from the upper firmament. Its force was immense, and it could steadily erode the spiritual barrier.The celestial lightning was even more unpredictable since its power was impossible to gauge. Even members of the Jornell family wouldn't escape unscathed if struck directly.Before long, the relentless Aetherwind Essence began eroding the spiritual barrier of one mid-stage Adept. Caught off guard, he was grazed by a sudden streak of golden celestial lightning. He screamed as his body was charred black and sent tumbling from the cliff, his remains reduced to nothing.Zephyrin didn't even frown. Instead, he shoute

"Watch out!" Aveline warned as she drew her twin daggers and charged forward. Blanche followed closely behind, drawing her longsword rimed with frost.The Frost family members quickly formed ranks and unleashed their techniques in unison. Intersecting arcs of icy spells and sword aura crisscrossed the gorge.The glacial wraiths were formidable foes, especially within their native terrain. Their translucent forms flickered through the frozen air, and the ice blades in their hands were razor-sharp, each strike freezing the target.One of the Frost family members was slashed across the arm. Frost raced along the wound, and within seconds, his limb went numb.Albus' eyes sharpened at the sight. Without drawing his longsword, he raised two fingers and gestured toward the injured man's arm. A thread of icy sword aura, nearly visible yet refined to an extreme degree, shot forward and sank into the wound. The spreading frost met something colder and purer than itself and was instantly

But Anders quickly lowered his head, hiding the cold calculation in his eyes."Let's move," Evander said, withdrawing his hand as if brushing away a speck of dust.Anders took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil roiling inside him, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Quinton."He turned and continued directing his remaining men forward, though his hunger for power had never burned more fiercely.After suffering nearly 20 casualties and leaving everyone injured, the group finally made it through the long stretch of Thunderscar Gorge. At the end of the canyon lay a relatively open platform formed from some kind of lightning-resistant crystal. Scattered across the platform were several charred skeletons, likely the remains of previous climbers. Nearby lay lightning-tempered ore still glowing with electrical energy, along with fragments of badly damaged lightning-attribute artifacts that still retained faint traces of their former power.Elowen walked over and picked up a few pie
Chapter 2775
"It's the lightning spirit! Hold the formation," the squad captain barked.The lightning spirit slammed into the Mystic Water Formation's barrier, erupting in blinding violet light accompanied by a harsh crackling hiss.Water was meant to restrain lightning, so the formation should have held a natural advantage. Yet, the lightning spirit carried an unusually pure and violent strain of Violet Thunder Miasma. The impact sent the barrier shuddering violently, and several people inside the formation went pale.Seeing this, a calculating gleam flashed in Anders' eyes. He was about to order the second squad to provide support when he heard Elowen chuckle behind him. "Evander, this lightning spirit is quite interesting. The thunder miasma it condensed is remarkably pure."Her brother merely nodded slightly without any other reaction. The three Quinton family guards were like wooden statues, completely indifferent to the fierce battle ahead. In contrast, the people from the Moseys felt
