Chapter 2400

Author: Marina Vittori

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Dustin and Glenn stepped onto the battle ring. They stood about 30 feet apart, and their eyes locked across the distance. Their gazes met like sparks, and they could feel the weight of the other's stare.

"Are you Logan?" Glenn asked, breaking the silence.

He had heard the rumors about this dark horse before stepping into the ring, but now that he was facing him, he wasn't sure.

"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is who wins this fight." Dustin didn

"Maybe this is what it truly means to live as a mortal," Dustin murmured. "It's not about passively waiting for cultivation to return, but using this time to calm my mind and build a stronger foundation. When the time comes, I can draw on it."On the morning of the seventh day, the imposing voice echoed again."The final trial has begun. Ascend the stairway and enter the Aethermoor Palace. Those who reach the summit will obtain the Ascendant Pill and the complete Aethermoor Immortal Legacy."As the voice faded, the ground at the center of the Bronze Sanctum split open with a deep rumble. A towering staircase of polished stone rose from the fissure, stretching into the clouds with no visible end. Each step gave off a faint golden glow."This is the stairway," Evander said, his gaze fixed on it, and a trace of desire flickered in his eyes. "The complete Aethermoor Immortal Legacy will belong to us."He stepped onto the staircase first, with Elowen and three guards following behind h

In Scarlet's Test of Resolve, she saw Dustin marrying Natasha. They stood at the altar, embracing each other, while she watched from the crowd. She could only offer her blessing in silence."Are you okay with that?" a voice whispered in her ear. "You risked your life for him, and what did you get in return? To him, you're nothing more than a younger sister. You're really fine with that?"Scarlet clenched her fists, tears welling in her eyes. She took a deep breath and steadied herself."I am," she replied. "As long as he's happy, that's enough for me. He's my brother, and he always will be."After saying that, the illusion shattered.Then, she found herself standing in a training ground. Before her, a long spear hovered in the air, its entire body a deep crimson, its presence stronger than the weapon she had obtained before."Your path is to protect," the voice said. "You've chosen what matters, and you stand by it without regret. Take the Crimson Skybreaker Spear. Stay true to w

After Evander obtained the Ascendant Pill, the atmosphere inside the Bronze Sanctum shifted. Although the pill was gone, countless other treasures remained. The major factions shifted their attention away from the central pillar and spread out, each searching for opportunities of their own.Grace led her group to search for treasures as well, and the results came quickly. Scarlet was the first to find something. She claimed a crimson spear from one of the stone pillars that surpassed her original Wildfire Spear in quality.Not long after, Adam secured a complete set of formation flags along with a manuscript titled Pentarch Binding Field, while Blanche obtained a scripture known as Frostheart Canon, which suited her cultivation.At an ice-blue stone pillar, Albus uncovered a memory crystal containing a sword intent legacy."This memory crystal contains a complete strand of glacial sword intent," he said excitedly. "If I can decipher it, my swordsmanship will advance further."

Evander let out a faint, contemptuous laugh and raised his hand. A streak of golden light shot forward, arriving a split second ahead of Karos to block his path.The golden light collided with the incoming violet lightning, and the impact detonated with a deafening roar. The shockwave swept outward in all directions, rattling the treasures perched atop the surrounding stone pillars.Karos was forced back several steps, his expression turning grim as he steadied himself. "Evander, you may have your family behind you. But if you think you're taking the Ascendant Pill for yourself, you'd better ask the rest of us first."Before he could finish speaking, several leaders from the rogue cultivator alliance closed in. They were not coordinated, but at that moment, they all turned their focus toward the Quinton family."Mr. Quinton, treasures should go to those with the right to claim them. Surely your family doesn't intend to take everything for yourselves," a bald, burly man said with a

Anders lifted his head, his expression layered with conflicting emotions. "Because I'm done being someone else's pawn," he admitted.Then, he laid everything out. He explained the Quinton family's plans, how they had exploited the Moseys, and the situation in which he was trapped.When he finished, he said, "Mr. Rhys, I know you have no reason to trust me. But please give me a chance. I can provide information on the Quinton family. When the time comes, I can turn against them. All I ask is a way out once this is over."Dustin studied him in silence for a long moment. He could tell Anders was speaking the truth. The ambition, the resentment, and the struggle behind it all felt real. However, sincerity didn't make a man trustworthy. Someone like Anders could turn against them the moment it suited him.After a moment, he finally said, "I can pass your message along. But there's something you need to understand."Anders looked up. "Go on.""You want to stop being used and start
Chapter 2800
After returning to the marketplace, the camp settled into an uneasy calm. Many were relieved to have survived, but no one felt secure about what lay ahead.Grace's group had eleven survivors from the Heartfall Stair, including Scarlet, Adam, Blanche, Albus, Dustin, and five Sovereign Aegis guards with strong resolve. On the Frost family's side, Aveline also made it through, but three of their family members had been left behind on the stairs.Other factions fared worse. The Quinton siblings passed without difficulty, but out of the dozen or so guards they brought, only three survived the climb. The Jornell family lost most of their elite fighters as well, with only a mid-stage Core-Forged cultivator and two others making it through. The Moseys suffered heavy losses as well. Anders made it through, but only four of his men remained."Ascendant Pill…" Grace murmured. "So that's what the Quinton family is really after."Dustin nodded. "For a reclusive family like the Quintons, o
