Chapter 153

The stage lights dimmed until the entire hall was swallowed in shadow.

The chandeliers above faded to a faint glow. Conversations died mid-sentence. Even the sound of breathing seemed too loud.

Then—

Step.

A single footfall echoed from backstage.

Slow.

Measured.

Deliberate.

No music.

No announcement.

Just the sound of someone approaching.

A ripple of anticipation tore through the crowd.

“He’s coming—”

“That has to be Chairman Ryan—”

“After four years…”

Reporters surged forward, cam

    Several months had passed since the war that nearly destroyed the balance between the realms.The world had slowly returned to normal.The mountains that had been damaged during the battle were being restored, the hidden realms had returned to their territories, and the humans who knew nothing about the supernatural events were gradually forgetting the fear that had once spread across the world.For Adrian, peace had finally become something real.He no longer woke up every morning wondering which enemy would appear next.He no longer needed to search through ancient books for answers about his past.The Eclipse Ring remained quietly on his finger, and although it still carried countless secrets, Adrian had stopped forcing himself to recover every memory.He had finally learned that not every answer needed to be found immediately.Unfortunately, not everyone had been given the same opportunity to enjoy peace.Inside the Cole family mansion, Raymond Cole sat heavily behind his desk.Th

    The morning sun rose gently over the city, casting a warm golden glow across the enormous Morreti estate.For the first time in weeks, there were no emergency calls, no reports of supernatural disturbances, and no messages from the hidden realms demanding Adrian's attention.There was only peace.And today, that peace meant everything.The entire estate had been transformed for the wedding.White flowers covered the long walkway leading toward the beautifully decorated garden. Soft lights hung between the tall trees, while elegant tables had been arranged beneath a large outdoor pavilion. Every detail had been prepared exactly the way Catherine had once described it.Nothing was excessively extravagant.There were no thousands of guests.Only family, close friends, and the people who truly mattered to them.At the far end of the garden stood a beautiful white wedding arch covered with fresh flowers.Catherine had specifically requested that the ceremony take place around sunset.She w

    For hours, the sky had been filled with explosions of spiritual energy, terrifying roars, and the desperate cries of those who had come determined to destroy the balance between the realms. Mountains had been reduced to broken cliffs, ancient trees had been torn from the earth, and the ground was covered with countless cracks created by the power that had collided throughout the battle.Yet now, there was nothing but silence.Adrian stood alone in the center of the battlefield. His clothes were torn in several places, and traces of blood stained his sleeve, but his posture remained straight. His eyes were calm as he looked across the ruined land.Around him, the remaining enemies had completely lost their courage. The forces that had once gathered with absolute confidence were now scattered across the battlefield. Some had dropped their weapons, while others were kneeling on the ground, unable to gather enough strength to stand.The leaders who had believed they could overthrow the ex

    Kai didn't wait for Adrian to say anything else. The moment Adrian identified the hidden connection between the resentment spirit and the Master of the Citadel Sect, Kai's spiritual energy erupted around his body. The air beneath his feet twisted violently as he locked onto the distant spiritual thread Adrian had exposed."So he's the one controlling it." Kai's eyes became cold. "Then I'll deal with him."Adrian looked at him for a moment before giving a slight nod. "Don't underestimate him. His cultivation has increased since the last time you encountered him."Kai smiled faintly. "I don't plan to."His body disappeared from the sky, and a thunderous explosion immediately followed as Kai crossed the distance between them at incredible speed. The clouds were torn apart behind him, and the spiritual pressure he released spread across the battlefield.Far away, inside a secluded mountain surrounded by ancient formations, the Master of the Citadel Sect suddenly opened his eyes. He had be

    The pressure inside the Medical City suddenly changed.Director Reyes had been standing beside the large window in Adrian's office when a powerful wave of spiritual energy erupted from her body without warning. The documents on the table flew into the air, the curtains were thrown backward, and every light in the room flickered violently.Kai immediately turned toward her. "Reyes!"Director Reyes didn't answer. Her eyes had already closed, and a brilliant spiritual aura was spreading through every part of her body. The power that had remained dormant inside her for so long was finally breaking through the restrictions that had kept it suppressed.A powerful force burst from her chest, causing the entire building to tremble.Kai immediately stepped forward, but Adrian raised his hand. "Don't interfere."Kai stopped.Adrian watched Reyes carefully as the spiritual energy continued gathering around her. Her hair lifted gently from her shoulders while an ancient pressure slowly filled the

    Seven hours passed without a single word being exchanged between Leon and the Master of the Citadel Sect.Leon remained suspended inside the dark chamber, his body completely motionless as the strange formation beneath him continued drawing spiritual energy from the surrounding walls. The chains around his wrists and ankles glowed faintly, keeping his weakened body fixed in place while the resentment spirit buried deep within his soul remained dormant.The Master had already left him there. There was nothing more to discuss. His decision had been made. Leon would become the weapon that destroyed the balance between the realms.Seven hours later, the entire formation suddenly trembled.A deep vibration traveled through the chamber as the twelve black stones surrounding Leon began glowing simultaneously. Ancient symbols appeared across the floor one after another, forming a complicated spiritual pattern beneath his feet.Leon's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a strange light flashed th
