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
Adrian admired Clyde’s determination but still had doubts. The super beast swarm, which occurs only once every ten thousand years, might easily break through defenses. Taking refuge on Celesta Rain Island could be the true path to survival. Adrian needed to plan for himself as well.Before the beast swarm fully formed, Adrian spent his time not only being affectionate with Lexie but also searching for small beast swarms. He hoped to gather dark spiritual energy for the Exile Realm and was deeply concerned about the Invisibees.Lexie suggested that the Exile Realm residents should have a complete set of educational books to develop a proper value system. While Adrian might not change the current generation's thinking, he could influence the next.In the Exile Realm, time accelerated; three or four years there equaled a generation’s worth of time. Adrian could guide these people to form a perfect belief system without being burdened by causality. After all, they lived in the Exile Rea
Ragan knew that Spectral Legacy would eventually be destroyed. He realized that if he didn’t secure a new ally before the faction’s downfall, it would be too late to seek refuge elsewhere. Aligning with a more influential faction rather than a lower one seemed the best strategy.He decided to approach the Tranquil Gate faction, a moderately sized faction ranked fifth. This faction was well-established in the central lands, known for their alchemy, which made them highly influential among immortals, especially those above level eight.After securing his future with Tranquil Gate, Ragan left Spectral Legacy. However, Spectral Legacy was aware of his plans. They knew that Ragan intended to leave before their downfall, and his departure could lead other members to abandon them as well, especially in a crisis.Ragan understood this well. He knew Spectral Legacy had treated him fairly despite his mixed-blood heritage. Many factions resented Spectral Legacy for accepting him, and some had
