After all, everything remained unknown now. The most important thing was to deal with the current matters first. Adrian naturally agreed to the Supreme Master's request, but agreeing was one thing, and whether he could fulfill it was another. That being said, he would still try his best.In the following days, the Supreme Master did not approach Adrian again. Everything seemed to return to the way it was before.During this time, Adrian had nothing else to do but train. However, he now had some additional concerns for the Supreme Master."Now, thinking about it won't help. I'll deal with it when the time comes. Even if I rack my brain now, it won't help the Supreme Master in his breakthrough. What I need to do is continue to enhance my own strength. Only when my strength is improved can I have the right to speak."*Three months later, the Supreme Master was finally about to face the greatest challenge of his life. During this period, he gradually sent away all the Frostspire appr
After all, the world was a big place. It was not an enclosed area, so spiritual energy would also leak out. Therefore, places with relatively abundant spiritual energy were the only ones that existed.Most immortals formed their caves often by gathering spiritual energy through various formations and very rarely did places with naturally abundant spiritual energy exist.It could be said that the Supreme Master was in a greatly favorable environment by breaking through there.Time passed second by second, and nothing happened. However, only the Supreme Master himself was aware of the dangers.Suddenly, a distant thunder echoed in the sky. Soon after, layers of dark clouds surged toward this place. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a figure swiftly flying within these dark clouds. After a moment, the figure approached. He was a sturdy man with well-defined muscles in a black robe. This man in the black robe sneered in the sky, "The information Ignatius obtained was indee
The two of them had engaged in a fierce battle to obtain the treasure. In the end, the Supreme Master successfully obtained the treasure.Technically, the matter should have ended there. However, Umbrex had been practicing a technique at that time and urgently needed this treasure as an aid. Therefore, he had proposed a deal to exchange some treasures from his own possession for it.However, the Supreme Master had refused several times. Eventually, due to the prolonged negotiation, Umbrex's technique failed. He resented the Supreme Master and vowed to seek revenge on him.Thus, he decided to ambush the Supreme Master at his weakest moment. However, after listening to Celeste, he carefully observed the Supreme Master and indeed saw faint traces of a formation around him.The formation was subtle and almost invisible without close examination. In addition, there were signs of spiritual power circulation in a few nearby places, suggesting the presence of killing moves.Umbrex began t
In the meantime, Adrian did not let down his guard even though the two assailants had retreated. After all, he knew that they were unlikely to give up their attack. Thus, he needed to enhance his strength as much as possible. *A few days later, a horde of ferocious monsters appeared under Frostspire.After purchasing all the necessary items, Adrian left Frostspire. He changed direction and walked straight toward the ancient forest below the mountain. On the street, two figures followed him.After Adrian had walked out of the gate, he headed toward the ancient forest. The two people chasing him outside noticed Adrian's direction and stopped. One of them was Gideon. He glanced in the direction where Adrian had disappeared and said, "He's heading toward the direction of the ancient forest. Let's go back and report it.""Yes. I can't believe he has the nerve to go look for monsters. This time, we must ensure he meets his end there!" Finnick said exasperatingly.After that, he and G
"Take this! Thunderstruck Tempest!" Adrian raised the Frost Crystal Divine Sword and launched an attack at the Saber-Toothed Tiger.The attack darted through the air and slashed the tree the Saber-Toothed Tiger was hiding into two pieces. The Saber-Tooth Tiger roared and unleashed two wind blades at Adrian. The sound of the wind blades passing through the air echoed around Adrian. In the next moment, two invisible vortex blades formed by the wind suddenly appeared in front of Adrian."Air slash?" Adrian was taken aback. He had not expected the Saber-Toothed Tiger to possess such a powerful technique. A smile appeared on his face—such a powerful monster was exactly the opponent he needed."Since you're so powerful, I won't hold back," Adrian said. His sword strikes met the Saber-Toothed Tiger's wind blades in the air, resulting in an explosion. The ensuing shockwave even broke several large trees nearby.The Sword-Toothed Tiger roared even more fiercely. In this forest, it wou
The tiger tilted its head upward to glare at Adrian on the treetop and let out a roar as a massive amount of blood dripped from the wounds on its body. This time, the tiger's rage had reached its peak at this point, and Adrian knew it well. Seeing that the tiger was about to launch another attack on him, he hastily got down from the treetop."Hmph! It seems like your physical resilience is truly impressive. You're not dead yet, even after sustaining such severe injuries," Adrian commented, displaying a hint of admiration for the tiger's strong physique.Naturally, if given the option, he would wish for his own body to exhibit similar enduring qualities as that of this specific creature.The tiger roared as it fixed its gaze on Adrian. Suddenly, its eyes gleamed, and two enormous wind blades formed on either side of its body once again. After launching the wind blades at him, it retreated to keep its distance from Adrian. In the next second, more wind blades appeared in the air a
Gideon dared not to lift his head in the grand hall with many high-ranking members.Just as Gideon finished reporting, another member of the Herreras hurriedly entered and reported, "We heard roars of a monster from the forest. It seems like Adrian killed the Saber-Toothed Tiger and then moved to a nearby mountain!""After receiving the Saber-Toothed Tiger's inner core, he moved into the mountain? Is he trying to break through in the mountain?" Demarcus asked. "He killed my son and insulted my family members! I'll never forgive him for what he did!" Demarcus said angrily as he slammed his hand on the table hard. At that moment, a man in a wheelchair appeared before him. Despite his peculiar appearance, he exuded a formidable and chilling aura. This man was none other than Rubern. Everyone had been under the impression Adrian had killed him, but he had somehow survived. His eyes were filled with resentment as he glared toward Demarcus. Thinking about the pain that Adrian had
"Hmph! What a cocky little brat!" Theodore harrumphed coldly. He knew that the young man before him was his target.Without any hesitation, he brandished his Thunder Whip at Adrian. This whip almost cleaved the space itself, leaving black traces in its wake. "Nice move! Unfortunately, you're still no match for me!" Adrian said before throwing himself at Theodore. "Now, perish!""Let me see what your family is capable of!" Adrian swiftly dodged the whip's strike and rapidly approached Theodore.In an instant, he teleported behind him and delivered a powerful punch."Hah, kid! Do you really think I'll let your attack land on me?"Although Theodore had not experienced a breakthrough for a long time, his combat experience far exceeded Adrian's. Therefore, he acted swiftly. By rapidly leaving his original position and then turning back, he struck fiercely at Adrian.Adrian remained calm. The elderly man in front of him possessed level seven strength. However, Adrian was currentl
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
