As Adrian dripped his blood into a basin, his lips turned pale and his nail beds lost all color. He then sat down nearby, forcing himself to stay alert as he carefully mixed the celestial herbs in the correct proportions.Eventually, Adrian created a blue-glowing spirit liquid that carried a red tint. "One freshly brewed Beast Nurturing Liquid coming right up,” he quipped in satisfaction, relieved that everything had gone smoothly in the final steps.After double-checking all the details and finding no mistakes, Adrian placed the two beast familiar eggs into the liquid. To his delight, the liquid began to decrease at a visible rate. Adrian was thrilled but then realized he needed to give up more blood. The death aura in the eggs was dissipating while the life force rapidly increased. Adrian could feel life force emanating from the eggs, but it was still far from enough.With no other option, Adrian allowed his blood to drip into the basin, muttering, "Little ones, you better make
Adrian named the female Invisibee “Cheery” and the male one “Toughy,” hoping they would grow up strong and happy.The two little creatures rested on Adrian’s shoulders, playing for a while before becoming tired and softly calling out for food. Adrian couldn't afford to offer his blood again, so he took out the remaining celestial herbs and flowers he had. The Inivisibees quickly flew toward the millennium-old herbs, clearly tempted, and what happened next baffled Adrian.The Invisibees quickly scarfed down more than half of the celestial herbs, leaving the remainder insufficient for their next feeding. Adrian couldn't understand how such small creatures could have such enormous appetites. He had no idea when the next feeding time would be, but newborn beast familiars usually needed a lot of nutritions, much like human babies.Adrian knew he had to hurry back to Lumia Isle. Without the celestial herbs and medicines from the Exile Realm, the two little ones might go hungry. And having
Of course, Eloise had to protect the Invisibees closely. These two little creatures were invaluable, with potential rivaling Adrian's own, not to mention their rarity.Adrian was deeply concerned about the two young critters. To him, the beast swarm was merely a source of nourishment, but he couldn't underestimate it. Ensuring the safety of Lumia Isle was paramount.He hadn't yet found a suitable foothold in the open sea, so he was reluctant to give up this area. Moreover, the concentration of aura essence near the spirit spring was equivalent to that of a large celestial vein. Without finding a suitable replacement, he would never abandon it.Everything depended on Celesta Rain Island's stance and where Clyde decided to draw the battle line. If Clyde decided to abandon all the outer islands to consolidate the defenses of Celesta Rain Island, it would be possible but would forfeit a lot of benefits. It would also harm many other independent immortals' interests, which was a signific
Cheery, who was incredibly clever, repeatedly struck the belly of the beast snake. When the snake counterattacked, she seized the opportunity to sting its weak spot. The beast snake, realizing its vulnerability, had to stop attacking Cheery and twist around to protect itself. This exposed its belly again, allowing Cheery to finish off its opponent first.Cheery then looked at Toughy with a proud expression and flew back to Adrian’s shoulder, rubbing affectionately against him.Seeing this, Toughy felt jealous and launched a frenzied assault on the other beast snake’s weak spot. However, while the snake couldn’t hurt Toughy, it easily deflected his attacks, leaving Toughy unable to inflict significant damage.Adrian shook his head, feeling helpless about the angry little Toughy. He prepared to intervene and deal with the snake himself. Unexpectedly, Toughy suddenly evolved to a level-two dark beast. It seemed that the previous consumption of many celestial herbs had stored a lot of e
There was a light portal in the sky of the Exile Realm drawing in nutrients from the outside world. Countless streams of spiritual energy flowed through the portal, entering the Exile Realm and being swiftly absorbed by the Spirit Gathering Formation, creating a vacuum of spiritual energy outside.Adrian nodded in satisfaction, praised Eloise's outstanding work, and then left the Exile Realm. Today, the lady of Lumia Isle was returning. He had received a message from Lexie earlier, indicating that she would return to Lumia Isle today. From her tone, it seemed she had made significant gains.Adrian was comfortable with her being away for so long due to her previous level. Even though she had fallen back to the Foundation Stage, her past experience at level-nine allowed her subsequent training to progress smoothly, without getting stuck at any stage due to comprehension issues. This was something Adrian couldn’t envy—it was like someone walking a path they had already traversed, knowin
Adrian followed the path of soul training, and being a reincarnated individual, his soul was inherently stronger than that of ordinary people. Coupled with the continuous training of the Draco Veinergy, which exercised his soul and divine consciousness, along with the training and consumption involved in the dark arts, his soul and consciousness were exceptionally well-developed.Before breaking through to level-eight, Adrian's divine consciousness had already reached a radius of 1,600 kilometers. This meant he could vaguely sense any fluctuations in magic within that range. Furthermore, anything within a radius of 1,600 kilometers could be clearly visualized in his mind. His perception was complete, with no blind spots—this was the power of divine consciousness, leaving no room for anyone to hide.With his naturally powerful soul and the subsequent training of divine consciousness, Adrian had reached the strength of a level-eight soul and consciousness. Now, choosing to become a sou
Under Eloise's strict training, Toughy and Cheery began their grueling regimen. They had to kill dark beasts before they could rest or eat. Of course, Eloise was secretly protecting the little critters.Toughy and Cheery were a level one and level two dark beast, respectively. They faced many level-three dark beasts, and even level-four to level-six beasts were not uncommon. Fortunately, most of the dark beasts were in a state of panic. Adrian's Fear had severely impaired their cognitive abilities, causing them to overlook the presence of the two tiny reapers among them.Toughy and Cheery used their innate invisibility ability to weave through the chaos, constantly harassing and assassinating dark beasts. They even incited internal conflicts among the beasts. Higher-ranking and more intelligent dark beasts were particularly susceptible to this strategy.When faced with attacks and unable to see the true enemy, the dark beasts would blame each other, leading to internal fighting.
Adrian refused to retreat into his shell like a turtle. What was the point of hiding? The beast swarm presented an opportunity. As the saying went, "You can catch fish in troubled waters,” so why not take advantage of the situation?Often, the most dangerous place was the safest. Adrian and Lexie both believed that if a beast swarm erupted, the open sea might become safer than the inner sea, where dark beasts could become more abundant. However, overcoming the dark beasts' defensive lines was a challenge.Adrian never considered aligning his fate with these immortals. After hundreds of years, patience wears thin, and people often become what they once, and Adrian was no exception.He once debated with the seven land sages, trying to lead people down a better path. Now, such ideas seemed laughable and naive. He realized they couldn’t save the world; they could only save themselves, and even that wasn’t always possible.This was the harsh reality: the immortal world was cruel. There
