This scene starkly reminded Adrian that he had merely cleared the first stage. The staircase before him marked the second stage.

The realization stunned everyone—just when they thought it was over, another hundred steps awaited them.

"Andy, what's going on?" Adrian asked, confused.

Andy had entered this stage much earlier, yet he was only at the 10th step.

The Holy Son stood on the 15th step, his body seemingly bound and restricted, a far cry from the confident display he had shown in the first stage.

Finnian, showing more resilience, had reached the 30th step.

Adrian was puzzled by the sight and struggled to understand what was happening.

Andy, looking helpless, explained, "Ah, Adrian, I imagine you're wondering why I'm still stuck on the staircase. The old entity within me has been completely suppressed.

"On this staircase, all external aid—be it seals, spiritual power, or anything else—is forcibly neutralized. No exceptions. Also, everyone is restricted to the Void Stage, wi

    To Andy, the challenge of the staircase had become overwhelming.At that moment, he felt as if the oppressive void had drained his will to continue climbing, leaving him on the verge of giving up.Adrian noticed and was slightly surprised. It was clear that this staircase was no ordinary trial—each step forward brought increasingly deadly dangers.Adrian's face darkened with resolve, his killing intent flaring. "Really? So, this staircase is as extraordinary as it seems. In that case, let me test it thoroughly."With that, Adrian charged forward, his speed astonishing, and his movements radiating such killing intent that he seemed to materialize as a daemon god."Hahaha, laughable. Does an ant think it can climb these steps? Can you even handle the next five? An intermediary Void Stage expert who just broke through? What a joke," mocked the Holy Son.Adrian narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold, but he answered with a smirk. "Oh? The Holy Son? To me, you're just a pile of trash."Wit

    Swallowston, the biggest city in Navia.Something astounding happened.A private cruise ship appeared on the horizon of the Swallowston Sea. Hundreds of fighter jets escorted the ship from the air while an aircraft carrier sailed behind it. Cars pulled over and onlookers were stopped behind a yellow line. All to open up a path for a legend.The person was rumored to be a bigshot, the protector of Swallowston, bearing the title of “War Legate.”“Welcome back, War Legate!” a roar came from the pier where ten thousand soldiers were lined up, looking in high spirits.A young man disembarked from the ship. He looked majestic with his head held high. He had an air of confidence that could change the mood of wherever he went and seemed unbeatable.The man was a legend in the military and a hero of the country. He was given the title of “War Legate” and was only second to one other person. He founded the Blood Corps which was sharp as a sword and was undefeatable. This man was a legend

    “What? The war legate is coming?” Everyone’s eyes grew wide upon hearing the news.“Wilfred, who is this war legate? Was he the one…” Leonard was in awe.There was only one person who held that title in all of Navia—the leader of the Blood Corps. There was no other like him.The entire city of Swallowston had to accommodate the man’s every move today.“Who else? Of course, it’s the Bellum Legate who had a ten thousand soldier-strong blockade today.”“Heavens, he’s coming to our home?”“Grandfather is so famous that even the legate is coming to see him?”The legate was well-known among the citizens, but few had ever seen him.“The gods are smiling upon our family.” Harold raised his hands. “Ever since Henry’s death, our family has been blessed with wave after wave of prosperity. Even the legate is coming to celebrate my birthday!”Everyone present was excited. What had they done to deserve attention from the legate?The Xanders were overjoyed.***“Father, the legate is almos

    After saying that, Adrian left Xander Manor with his mother and sister.There was no reason for him to stay any longer.***Once they left, Cecelia said, “He thinks he’s so important after having been in the army for only seven years? He thinks he can tear down our family? What a joke.”Everyone burst out laughing.“Wilfred, can you find out when the legate will be arriving?” Harold put the matter aside and asked his son.“Yes, Father.” Wilfred nodded, then quickly called the person who had contacted him earlier.The Xanders started getting ready. The women put on makeup so they could present their best selves to the legate.After some time, Wildred turned to his father awkwardly. “Father, they said that he was here and just left.”“What?” Harold was worried.He came and left? Why?He turned to look at them and anxiously asked, “Did you see anyone come in?”“No one else other than Adrian.” Everyone shrugged.Harold took a deep breath. Did he miss his chance for a big break?

    The two men said that Samantha and someone named Mr. Devin were spending time alone in her office. But from what Rue said, Samantha was a loyal woman.Why would a woman like that do what she was doing? Was there some sort of misunderstanding?Adrian went up to the office.***CEO’s office, the Bailar Group.A beautiful woman sat in the office. She had long hair and a nice figure. She was elegant and had a pair of long, slender legs that were crossed under the desk.That was Samantha Cowell.Her company had been kicked out of the Alyanz Chamber of Commerce because of sabotage from competitors, and she was accused of wrongdoing. To avoid going to jail, she was forced to give her company away.That night was her last night at the office. Years of hard work were going to disappear, so she was feeling upset.“Samantha, have you signed the agreement?”The door of her office opened and a middle-aged man walked in. He smiled and asked her after walking in.The man was Devin Williams,

    Adrian hung up and sat down to wait.After Devin heard what Adrian said, he chuckled. He knew that Daniel was a big shot in Swallowston and that he was the general who worked under the legate. That meant that if he stomped his feet, the city would shake.Devin thought that Adrian was just pretending to call Daniel. It was probably a fake number.“Hahaha! Henry was a genius. Too bad his son isn’t.” Devin continued to laugh.He knew very well what happened to the Xanders since he was a local of Swallowston.Devin said, “Sure, I’ll wait with you. I’d like to see if you can really bring Daniel Summers here.”He then sat down on the couch, lit another cigarette, and crossed his legs.Adrian ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.Within ten minutes, just as Devin was arrogantly enjoying his cigarette, the door of the office was kicked open again and Daniel, who was in uniform, walked in. Devin was shocked.Behind Daniel was the richest man in Swallowston, Damien Holland, owner of

    Adrian gave a few more instructions before hanging up the call.“Celine Blanche… You’ll pay with your life.”***The next day, Adrian got up early and prepared breakfast.When Rue woke up and saw what he had done, she was shocked. “Adrian, why did you…”He smiled. One of the reasons he came home was to try and lessen her burden.“Breakfast is ready. Could you wake Ada and Sam for breakfast please?” he asked.Rue sighed because she no longer recognized her son. However, she was relieved that he was back. She did not plan to ask for more.Soon after, Adaline and Samantha stirred and walked out of their rooms.Upon seeing that Adrian had made breakfast, Samantha was surprised, but it soon turned into disappointment. She was disappointed because she thought that was the only thing he planned to do upon his return.“Sam, have some breakfast,” Adrian said to her.Adaline walked over and sat down on the couch. “If all you learned these past seven years was to cook, you’re pretty muc

    It was better if Adrian had kept silent.After he spoke, Samantha was outraged. She slapped him and anxiously said, “Do you think you’re the war legate? Ask General Summers to settle this. Who do you think you are?”Rue was crying, and Adaline turned around to hide her tears. If Celine found out that they were fighting at Alyanz Tower, she would surely not let Adrian get away.“Sam, put your trust in me,” Adrian said to her.“Why should I?” She looked at him as tears welled up in her eyes. She never thought that Adrian would be so impulsive that he would start a fight here.There was no time to think. Samantha quickly said to Rue, “Mother, Ada, bring Adrian home. I’ll go in on my own.“I’m just one woman, I don’t think Celine will do anything to me.”She thought that was the only way out.Rue was nervous. “Sam, just let this go. Let’s all go home.”“Sam, we won’t be able to remain calm if you go in there alone. We should just give the company to them,” Adaline tried to advise.

    The crowd was puzzled, sensing that Adrian's situation had taken a strange turn for the worse.The final few steps seemed disproportionately difficult, as if they were worlds apart from the earlier ones. From a distance, the scene appeared completely different.The sky and earth trembled, and the sight before them was terrifying."I said… get lost!" Adrian's eyes burned with icy resolve. "Die!"With a furious roar, Adrian threw a punch that tore through the air, its power so immense it seemed capable of shattering everything.The punch carried earth-shattering force, almost ripping the void apart.What was happening?

    The crowd, witnessing the scene, didn't know how to respond.The man's words sounded reasonable, but his glance toward the Sacred Lunaland's people revealed his true intentions—he was clearly trying to win their favor.The Sacred Lunaland members glared at Adrian with sharp, mocking eyes. To them, his defiance was tantamount to courting death.Meanwhile, Tyler and his group were filled with worry.The thunderbolts raining down from above seemed capable of obliterating everything, creating an overwhelming atmosphere of dread.At that moment, Adrian appeared on the brink of destruction.The scene was harrowing, and his situation seemed hopeless as he endured unbearable agony within the void.A surge of power exploded.

    "Exactly! The Holy Son has his seals—what does he have?"A chorus of ridicule erupted from the crowd.In the Spirit Domain, especially on the Central Continent, elders often placed protective seals on their descendants. These seals carried a portion of the elder's strength or will, designed to activate in life-threatening situations and provide a way out.To the onlookers, Adrian was just a lone soldier—an insignificant figure with no support or protection. Their disdain for him was clear, mocking his lack of status and backup."How can someone like him, with no power or influence, even think of standing shoulder to shoulder with us? What a joke!"Adrian, however, ignored the scorn. His sharp gaze stayed fixed on the path ahead, his body radiating an intense and unyielding battle spirit.In his mind, there was no option but to charge forward. No matter the cost or the outcome, he was determined to succeed.The sky tore apart under surging waves of unimaginable power.Adrian's a

Yet the moment Adrian stepped forward, everything changed.What was Adrian doing?Confusion spread through the crowd. The staircases's unpredictable nature defied reason, its disturbances growing more intense, leaving onlookers in disbelief.Boundless power surged through the void, rippling outward in a breathtaking display. The sheer magnitude of the scene silenced the crowd, awe etched into every face.Above, the clouds churned violently as Adrian endured the baptism of thunder.Waves of immense power flowed through his body, absorbed repeatedly as if the lightning it

    A surge of immense power shattered the firmament as Adrian let out a cold chuckle.With a faint smile, he taunted, "Come on, show me how powerful this thunder really is"His words plunged the crowd into stunned silence. No one could fathom what he was thinking.Adrian's audacity bordered on absurdity. While others scrambled to erect defenses against the divine thunder, he faced it with scorn, bewildering the crowd.Unrelenting forces gathered, surging toward Adrian like an unstoppable tide, intent on obliterating him.

    Adrian's bones fractured instantly.His eyes widened in shock—the lightning's power far surpassed his expectations, catching him off guard.A cold glint sharpened his gaze as he growled, "Hmph! Damn it. Die!"Golden light burst from Adrian's body, forming a protective barrier that steadied his steps as he advanced.Each step resonated like the pounding of a giant heart, an awe-inspiring spectacle. His chilling killing intent radiated a force so immense it seemed to subdue the very world around him.Below, Tyler and the others stared in stunned silence.Uncertainty clouded their faces—could Adrian truly reach the summit?The destructive power looming in the void above was enough to unsettle even the strongest.Adrian's battered form strained under the overwhelming forces.
