Chapter 2786
The following morning, sunlight filtered through the treetops at the mouth of the valley and scattered across the ground, driving away the chill that lingered from the night. After a full night of rest, most of the group had recovered from their injuries, and their spiritual energy had largely been restored.Dustin informed the others about the hidden opening he had discovered in the rock wall, after which Grace gathered the key members of the group to discuss their next move."We do not know where this opening leads," she said. "However, the fact that the beasts refuse to approach this section of the cliff suggests that something here frightens them. That means it is either a great opportunity or a great danger."Adam considered the situation before offering his analysis. "Based on the rules governing Mount Aethermoor, the most dangerous places usually hold the greatest opportunities. We are trapped here, and moving upward is our only path forward. If that opening leads higher up

Grace had no time to think it over. She immediately ordered the entire group to fall back toward the rock wall on the left. The group fought desperately, carving a bloody path through the swarm of beasts until they finally managed to retreat beneath the shelter of the cliff face.Just as Dustin had predicted, the bests charged forward but stopped when they came within roughly 100 feet of the rock wall. They stopped one after another, pacing restlessly and letting out agitated roars, yet none of them dared take another step closer. After circling for a short while, the entire pack withdrew like a receding tide, as though something about the rock wall inspired deep instinctive fear.The remaining guards collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath as the tension drained from their bodies. When they counted their numbers, the grim reality became clear. Of the original group of more than 30, fewer than 20 remained, and nearly every one of them was wounded.Scarlet's injuries were the

Spiritfruit Valley lived up to its name. The valley was lush and overgrown, brimming with spiritual energy. Exotic flowers and rare herbs grew in abundance throughout the area. Scattered among them stood several low trees heavy with clusters of crimson fruit that pulsed with dense spiritual energy. They were Vermilion Spiritfruit, a rare treasure capable of quickly restoring depleted spiritual energy and even slightly strengthening one's cultivation.The sight of the spiritfruit lifted everyone's spirits."That's great," someone said. "With these spiritfruit, we can heal our injuries and restore our spiritual energy."However, Dustin remained cautious. His eyes moved slowly across the valley, and he felt something was wrong. The valley was unusually quiet. There were no birds calling, no insects buzzing, and even the wind seemed absent.He lowered his voice and warned them, "Stay alert. There could be danger."The moment the words left his mouth, the ground began to shake violen
Chapter 2783
After six hours of rest, the group had regained some of their strength. The pills had taken effect, stabilizing the wounded and restoring most of their spiritual energy. When the time limit expired, the protective golden barrier quietly dissolved, signaling that their respite had ended."Do we head up, or search sideways for another route?" Grace asked the group."Up," one of the retainers suggested. "If this trial is about climbing the mountain, then the higher we go, the better."Dustin shook his head slightly. "Climbing higher might not be the point of Mount Aethermoor's trial," he said. "At this elevation, there are multiple connected platforms and paths. If we move along the ridge instead, we may run into other teams. And right now, there's strength in numbers."Grace accepted his reasoning and decided they would explore along the ridge at their current altitude.The group advanced carefully. The terrain rose and dipped unpredictably, broken by ravines and sheer cliff edges

At the center of the platform, the ancient, weathered stone patterns carved into the ground suddenly flared to life, forming a circular array nearly 30 feet across.As the light pulsed, three stone figures rose slowly from within it. Each stood nearly ten feet tall, carved from dark yellow rock and gripping a massive battle axe.Red flames flickered within their hollow eye sockets. The spiritual pressure they emitted matched that of a late-stage Adept, and their burning gazes locked onto every living being on the platform."It's the guardian trial," Grace said, her eyes narrowing. "Defeat them, and we may be allowed to proceed or at least earn the right to remain here."The stone guardians let out a low, grinding roar. Their heavy steps shook the platform as they advanced, with their axes sweeping forward.The blades had not yet struck, but the violent wind generated by their swings already cut against the skin."Form rank and prepare to engage," Grace shouted, drawing her sword
Chapter 2781
Panic was instantly replaced by despair and a kind of twisted fanaticism. With no way down, the only option was up. The only chance for both survival and fortune lay higher on Mount Aethermoor."Up! Keep climbing.""Move! I have to get out.""There are treasures up there."The crowd erupted into chaos. People surged blindly toward any slope or rock face that looked climbable. But this was no forgiving mountain. Even the gentler stretches concealed deadly hazards.Just then, screams rang out. Someone stepped on loose rocks and plummeted into a bottomless ravine. Another rushed into what appeared to be a calm bank of mist, only to be torn apart in an instant by venomous creatures or lurking fiends hidden within. Others drew weapons on their companions, fighting over what looked like the easiest route up.Chaos, bloodshed, and death erupted across the midpoint plateau where the "trial participants" had been forced to gather."Form ranks. Move into a defensive position!" Grace ord

Really???? This is all you have….dang
looking to get rich on one chapter per day? If you don't have the whole thing written, it's not a book. its a soap opera. At this rate, my kid will retire before you put out one book. Are you only capable enough to write one chapter per day
more chapter please...one chapter a day is so dissapointing...I love this kind of stories but please do write more chapters a day...atleast 10 chapters a day...
This is not even a Book.. irrelevance and not need to explain other character for many sentences.. and also from it was started it seem the story started again from beginning.. this authors or i call them numb heads want us to read some stories from other authors to make sure we’ll be hooked up/trap
The issues the author has is fake the same thing happened with the last book I was reading and quit reading it because of this exact BS. There probably isn’t even a real author just a computer program creating all the stories.
If this doesn't change soon, I'm done. This is totally unacceptable, one chapter a day that isn't even a five minute of reading
its disappointing...its useless
this would be my last scription. after this I am deleting entire book
This is beyond irritating. One chapter is simply not good enough. Besides, the chapter is so so small
Due to some issues I understand you may not be able to post so many chapters in a day, but tbh one chapter is not encourageable
