Chapter 2758

Author: Marina Vittori

The night wind swept over the Weston estate, carrying a biting chill mixed with the lingering stench of smoke and blood.

Narcissa fled Oakvale in disgrace, cradling the severely injured and unconscious Kael as a handful of loyal guards escorted her out of the city. They sought temporary refuge in a hidden outpost deep within the remote mountains.

The monastery there had been abandoned for years. Amid the crumbling walls and shattered pillars, a few side rooms were still mostly intact.

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

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

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
