Although Adrian had already set up an ambush, he could not sense Jac’s approach due to the barrier. However, as Jac began attacking the barrier, Adrian felt the urgency outside. The scattered attacks suddenly became frantic as if something unexpected had occurred. Adrian understood that a change in attack frequency and intensity indicated a shift in the attacker’s mental state. What could have made Jac so anxious?“Could it be that others have arrived?” Adrian speculated.In reality, Adrian was mistaken. Jac's berserk transformation was nearing its end. This frenzy-induced atavism consumed blood to fuel the transformation. When the transformation occurred, Jac’s blood was exhausted, and all his mental energy was focused on the process. After the transformation ended, his mental energy returned, but he was already physically and mentally drained.Each atavism process was a massive drain on both mind and body. Jac felt his thoughts becoming sluggish, so he hastened his attacks on the
Having just undergone atavism, Jac had already exhausted the blood in his veins. The side effects of a second atavism were severe. He was on the verge of dehydration, with about half of his bone marrow depleted. If he did not replenish soon, his wolf bloodline would be ruined.Although Jac was reckless, his thinking was quite unique and far superior to that of the dead dark immortal. He knew that if he fell into Adrian's hands, escaping death would be impossible. Despite this, his discomfort persisted even after the transformation. Struggling against nausea, he lunged at Adrian, hoping to sever his opponent's carotid artery with his gaping maw.However, Adrian was not going to let him succeed. He recognized that Jac was already at the end of his strength. To buy time, Adrian performed a nimble dodge, causing Jac to miss his attack.Adrian said, "Hold on, sir. I was sent by the lord to rescue you."Jac retorted, "How dare you lie to me! Who are you? How could anyone know about this
Adrian mocked, “Can’t you figure it out? Who were you planning to inform? Hahaha!”“Who?” Jac wondered, trying to recall.Given the cave’s extreme secrecy, it was almost impossible for anyone to find this remote island. Adrian’s familiarity only deepened Jac’s suspicion that his family might be involved.Jac didn’t recall that Adrian was one of the people he had chased just days earlier. Instead, he thought Adrian might be connected to his family and an assassination plot. However, Jac was unsure who would do such a thing since he had always been humble and had no known issues with any of his family members.“Hmph, it doesn’t matter if the eldest son is dead,” Adrian continued deceitfully. “He can’t inherit the family anymore.”“You’re talking nonsense. My brother would never betray me or harm me,” Jac responded. He now accepted that someone had sent Adrian to kill him and that there was an attempt to usurp his position.“Hmph, seems like you’ve figured it out,” Adrian said. But
Additionally, Adrian had already collected the seeds and roots beforehand. Although these celestial herbs were valuable, they were not irreplaceable; they could be obtained again, though it would take some time.Suddenly, Adrian had a brilliant idea for achieving victory. He stopped hesitating and disengaged from combat with Jac. He began to focus solely on gathering the celestial herbs and plants, treating Jac as if he were invisible or irrelevant.Jac was enraged by this.“What’s the meaning of this?1 We’re still fighting!” Jac shouted, furious at Adrian’s dismissive behavior. However, he had no choice but to continue attacking as he had no other means to deal with Adrian.Adrian used a strategy of advancing when Jac retreated and striking when Jac was exhausted. Jac felt a deep sense of helplessness and had to admit that he no longer had the strength to defeat Adrian.“Let’s talk,” Jac said suddenly, his tone now subdued rather than defiant.Adrian was pleased to gain more tim
“No,” Adrian said, “You and I are merely passing acquaintances. I’m using my own lifespan to help you with your fortune. Today, I have a feeling I should give you a reading.”“Then I’m all ears,” Jac replied mockingly, assuming this to be one of Adrian’s theatrics. He didn’t believe in such mystical nonsense.Adrian continued, “You’ve been intelligent since childhood and were greatly favored by your father. Unfortunately, you didn’t know much about your mother’s background until you learned about the status of the women on the island. Acutely feeling your lack of maternal love, this was when you first came to resent your father. You believed your mother was executed because of her status, but you dared not speak of it or ask.“Your only choice was to practice diligently, fighting beasts with a courage that defied death. While other children of your family were fearful, you attached beast limbs to yourself and risked death to transplant beast marrow, succeeding in making yourself the
Adrian followed a tributary upstream, intrigued by its course. Even he was affected by this tributary. At its end stood a man, who seemed to be at the very edge of this world’s existence. When Adrian saw the man, the entire line of fate seemed to be disrupted. The man sensed something was amiss, and with a brief exclamation, he vanished from sight.Adrian was deeply perplexed. Could this man be the world master? Why did he differ from the descriptions given by Eloise and the immortal world? As someone at the pinnacle of existence, there was no reason for him to conceal himself.‘Could there be multiple world masters?’ Adrian questioned silently, convinced of what he had seen. It was inconceivable that he could have fabricated it. The problem was the discrepancy between his observations and the descriptions in the immortal world. The only explanation was that there might be multiple world masters, or perhaps there was no world master at all.Adrian felt that the once-clear image befo
“But you, my friend, are an independent immortal. I could tell that you were extraordinary. After thinking for a while, I realized that you probably aren’t from another island and that there’s no family dispute between us. You won’t gain anything by killing me, and to be blunt, we dark immortals are low-quality immortals. We rarely gather spiritual energy or use spiritual artifacts, so we won’t bring you any wealth.“On the contrary, my survival could bring you the greatest benefit. In the maritime immortal region, you can’t escape the beasts. Beasts are fundamental to training, so I can offer you significant advantages.“Firstly, sea charts. The sea charts of the open sea have always been available, but who knows the South Sea like our family and us dark immortals? We live here, which gives us our advantages,” Jac concluded.Adrian nodded in agreement and gestured for him to continue.Jac smacked his lips, showing signs of severe thirst with his cracked lips. But Adrian pretended
The nine Human Domains depended on the Spirit Domain for their existence.Adrian realized his mistake and felt a bit embarrassed. As Jac slowly explained, Adrian began to fully understand the cause and effect in this world, as well as the chaos caused by several level-nine immortals under the Dark Sage.The structure of this world was actually very simple: nine Human Domains corresponded to one Spirit Domain. Theoretically, nine Spirit Domains would correspond to one Immortal Domain. When an immortal reached a certain level, they would ascend. However, there was currently no mention of other Spirit Domains.Daemonia, on the other hand, corresponded to the Spirit Domain but was much stronger because it theoretically corresponded to the Immortal Domain. It contained dark immortals whose power far surpassed that of the Spirit Domain. However, Daemonia was not as powerful as the Immortal Domain. Upon becoming a dark immortal, although they could stay in this realm, they ultimately had t
