Quintin was the lord of Silverboa City when he was kidnapped by the Watts. Now that the Watts had been driven away, he had naturally regained his freedom.He had excitedly invited Adrian to visit Silverboa City, and the latter did not refuse and followed him back to the city.*That evening, Adrian shut himself in his room. He had gone through a lot of things recently, so he decided to carefully summarize the recent events and make plans for his next training.While pondering, Adrian suddenly sensed a surge of powerful energy coming from all directions. 'There shouldn't be any other high-level individuals in this city. What's going on?' he wondered. At the same time, he felt that the energy surge was unusually consistent, advancing toward his direction in an orderly manner as if these people had undergone special training.This seemed strange to him because even a group of high-level individuals gathered together should not have such a consistent energy surge. After all, every
After a moment, Quintin also rushed out of his room and asked, "Mr. Adrian, what's going on?"Unexpectedly, Adrian was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard anymore.Just when Quintin was wondering where he was, Adrian's voice echoed from the sky. "Mr. Quintin, someone ambushed me just now. I'll be back soon!"Then, a radiant light flashed across the sky and flew toward the distance. Due to the different training methods, everyone had different ways of flying through the air. Some liked riding on swords, while others opened paths with their magical devices.As for Adrian, he and the Frost Crystal Divine Sword turned into a stream of lightning, shooting straight ahead. It appeared as if a lightning bolt was streaking across the air.Not far ahead of Adrian, there were several figures in black clothes flying rapidly. Those people seemed to be in a formation as they were moving as one.Adrian had witnessed a similar formation before. In Verdant Summit, the Watts had formed a sword f
Adrian should not have experienced such emotional turmoil at his current level. However, his mind was chaotic now.All of them were speaking in a language Adrian could not comprehend, and the phantom of the deity started to move accordingly. The deity extended its large hand as it reached for Adrian.Meanwhile, the cross-shaped formation that resembled a longsword gathered at the core of the deity's phantom.Adrian stood suspended in mid-air, his sleeves fluttering along with the wind. The fear in Adrian's heart dissipated in the face of such a formidable array. His mind raced, and he soon understood what had happened.Though Adrian had no idea of their origin, their techniques revealed their power source. It was a mysterious faith. The unknown deity manifested before him was likely the result of their collective belief.When they combined their power of faith, it produced a tremendous, unparalleled force. This training style differed from the ordinary pursuit of personal longevit
Adrian's whole body was covered in purple lightning. An immense force surged from all directions as he started to push back against his opponent. At present, he could release and retract the energy from the Frost Crystal Divine Sword at any time. Suddenly, Thor's phantom appeared behind Adrian. Its aura far surpassed the unknown deity on the other side. When Thor unleashed his strike, a fierce thunderbolt streaked across the sky and directly blasted onto the image of the unknown deity.Adrian swiftly followed up and wielded the Frost Crystal Divine Sword that transformed into myriad sword rays, slamming heavily onto the opponents' sword-like formation.The group of people winced in pain as the deity behind them was obliterated instantly, dispersing into fragments. The protective formation shattered into pieces as well.At this moment, dark clouds billowed around the moon in the sky, and flashes of thunder and lightning crackled within.Adrian roared, and the shining Frost Crystal
In the blink of an eye, a bloody hole appeared right in the middle of the head of the person who launched the surprise attack. Immediately after, his body swayed and fell straight down on the ground.In just an instant, one of them was dead. The faces of the remaining individuals turned pale, and they dared not make a sound.After all, they had just witnessed Adrian's formidable strength moments ago, and now he had killed one of them effortlessly."Do you want to live? Or die just like him?" Adrian asked.The remaining people huddled together and whispered. One young man among them told an older companion, "Sir, they betrayed us this time!"The older one beside him chimed him, "That's right! The elders told us to assassinate Quintin, claiming they were ordinary martial experts. But they didn't tell us there was such a powerful man in Quintin's team!" The young man asked, "What should we do now?"Their leader thought for a moment and replied, "Survival is the priority. Let's try
Quintin and his subordinate, a general named Honorius Harkin, were known as the Twin Dragons of the Northern Frontier.Honorius was a genius strategist, while Quintin was unmatched in bravery. Together, they formed a formidable duo that strikes fear into the hearts of any enemies. As long as they were around, breaking through the defenses and dividing the Dragon Dynasty would be a challenging task for the various nations in the northwest.Therefore, it was normal for the elders of the Altalune Kingdom to make this choice considering the circumstances. Before taking action, these infiltrators had already hidden themselves within Silverboa City. They had gathered intel and learned that Honorius and Quintin were just ordinary martial experts. With this knowledge, they felt there was no need to fear.Little did they expect that a figure like Adrian would suddenly emerge on the night they decided to act.Although Adrian was a lot stronger than these people, they could still contend with
As Adrian was flying back to Silverboa City, the sky gradually lit up.Upon returning to Quintin's mansion, Adrian found him pacing anxiously in the courtyard.When he saw Adrian return, he sighed with relief. He then stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Adrian, what happened?"Adrian waved his hand and said, "Let's not stand here and talk. Rozi, you look exhausted. Go back to your room and rest.""But I—" Just when Rozi was about to say something, Adrian interrupted, "I know you're worried about me, but go back to your room and rest for now."Rozi nodded and returned to her room.Adrian turned to look at Quintin and said, "Mr. Quintin, we shouldn't talk here. Let's go to study. I have something to tell you."In the study, Quintin listened to everything that had happened. However, he remained calm and composed. He squinted and stroked his beard.After pondering for a while, he calmly said, "Actually, in the previous few battles, I suspected that the enemy might have individuals with
Adrian had no choice but to search through the ground from the sky. This approach was somewhat crude, and luck played a significant role. It could take days or nights to find anything, but Adrian had no other options at the moment.However, fortune favored him, and he spotted someone in just over half a day.A woman dressed in elegant dark clothing swiftly glided through the air as if she were a nimble swallow darting through a forest. Her attire stood out starkly against the snowy landscape.'This woman seems to be an immortal, considering her thin clothing. I hope she knows about Mystic Elixir,' Adrian thought, feeling relieved to encounter another immortal.Even if she was not from Mystic Elixir, someone navigating the icy plains like this should have knowledge of its general location.Adrian descended rapidly toward the ground without hesitation. However, as soon as he touched down, the woman suddenly vanished from his sight. A chill ran down his spine when he was wondering wh
The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han
Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b
At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv
The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed
Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev
The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his
Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co
Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused
"What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
