“You scoundrel!” Gallahan shouted angrily. “You won’t die a good death! Using us as sacrificial pawns, huh? I won’t let you have your way even in death!”The Four Symbols Formation was fully activated, and the four of them were immobilized. Adrian sighed in relief, ignoring their provocations and letting out a couple of cold snorts before closing his eyes to rest.Freya, initially anxious, grew more uneasy as Adrian remained calm and ignored the chaos. She realized the men’s shouting wouldn’t affect the portal. The Four Symbols Formation would not stop unless the core of the portal was destroyed after activation. Confident in this, Adrian remained composed, while Freya, with her limited knowledge of ancient texts, showed increasing signs of panic.As the immortals’ screams weakened, they turned into low groans and eventually faint whimpers. The portal continued to drain their spiritual energy until their life force was depleted. As the membrane shrank toward the center, Freya’s anxi
In Freya's mind, Adrian seemed even more dangerous than the spatial rift. While spatial rifts occurred due to distorted spatial laws in high-density spaces, the consequences of passing through such rifts were unknown.As the rocky platform Freya stood on approached the rift, it didn’t continue to ascend but instead began spinning faster, making Freya dizzy and nearly causing her to vomit. If an outsider were present, they would see that Freya wasn’t spinning with the rock. Extending their divine consciousness would reveal that the space around Freya was severely distorted, with a four-colored membrane protecting her from the rift's pressure.Suddenly, the massive rock fell, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the spatial rift vanished. Freya was nowhere to be seen, having completely disappeared from Mythria.It appeared Freya was navigating a passage within the rift. She turned and twisted through the passage until she stopped trying to remember the path. With a faint smile, she decided
Despite Adrian's best efforts, he couldn't shake off his pursuers. Realizing escape was futile, he resolved, 'If I can't escape, then I'll destroy you!'With that thought, his sword essence shot out, faster than lightning, targeting his opponents.Boom!A thunderous sound echoed through the area, and Adrian watched as the space before him rippled and flashed, revealing several figures. His probing attack had clearly failed to harm them. As soon as these figures appeared, they launched a powerful offensive, trapping Adrian within a formation.The leading figure sneered, "Kid, I'm impressed you noticed us. Not bad."Adrian's eyes narrowed as he coldly replied, "You act like persistent pests—of course, I sensed you. Now, who are you, and why are you chasing me?"Seeing the aggressive approach of his opponents, Adrian decided there was no need for courtesy and released a powerful aura of his own.The leading figure stepped forward, coldly saying, "You dare question us? You broke thr
In truth, these opponents had long set up a formation to trap Adrian. However, it had been lying dormant, ready to be activated at any moment. Realizing they couldn’t overpower him, they finally unleashed the formation.Suddenly, a blinding light erupted, and the powerful formation enveloped Adrian instantly. His divine consciousness revealed that this formation had the ability to suppress his cultivation level. It was clear that this formation was no ordinary trap.“Hmph, you think a formation like this can hold me? Break!” Adrian knew the formation was strong, but he refused to submit. He unleashed a tremendous force, his aura expanding rapidly as he attempted to shatter the formation with sheer power.But just as it seemed Adrian might succeed, something strange occurred. A mysterious force emerged from the formation, quickly and completely suppressing him. Under the influence of this force, Adrian found himself unable to access any of his power.This was too strange. It seemed
The powerful sword essence roared across the battlefield, instantly engulfing the enemies.“This is bad!” Realizing the sword formation was upon them, the enemies quickly went on high alert. But they were no match for Adrian. As the endless sword essence rained down, they swung their swords desperately in defense.Clank, clank, clank!Despite their best efforts, they couldn't withstand the relentless assault.After a moment, Freya spoke up, “Mr. Adrian is fighting so hard. I can’t just stand by and watch.”Her figure then flickered like a phantom, weaving gracefully through the enemies. As they struggled to fend off Adrian’s attacks, they were also forced to contend with Freya’s sudden, swift strikes. This relentless assault overwhelmed them, leaving them unable to defend effectively.In no time, most of the enemies were slain. Only the leader remained, realizing he was outmatched and attempting to flee.At that moment, Adrian smiled slightly. “Trying to run? Not so fast!” He g
“That’s true. Other methods might lead to deceit, but this one is the least likely to be deceptive,” Freya answered.But aside from that, Adrian and Freya needed to understand their current situation. By reading the leader’s memories, Adrian learned they were in a maritime immortal region and that the people he had just fought were from a faction called Daemaxim. Their disturbance in the shattered space had alerted Daemaxim, prompting them to send people to hunt Adrian down.“Daemaxim, huh? Interesting...” Adrian mused. Understanding the situation, he said to Freya, “We should split up. We know nothing about this world. If we stay together, we might attract more danger. It’s better to act separately; it makes us less conspicuous and harder for the enemy to detect.”“Mr. Adrian, are you trying to get rid of me?” Freya said, giving him a sultry look, clearly reluctant to part ways.Adrian glanced at her coldly. “If you don’t want to leave, you can stick with me. Since I’m the one who
The black-clad figures, armed with weapons and magical artifacts, were clearly no ordinary troublemakers. As soon as they entered the inn, they began scanning the room as if searching for someone.Adrian recognized these people’s attire as identical to the Daemaxim members he had previously encountered, entirely giving away who had sent them. Adrian was impressed by how quickly Daemaxim mobilized its members. It had been only a short time since he killed those people, and they were already hunting him down.Realizing the danger, Adrian subtly used his powers to alter his appearance as the innkeeper approached the Daemaxims with a cautious smile and asked, “Esteemed guests, what brings you to our humble establishment?”The presence of the Daemaxims had clearly unsettled the inn’s patrons, but the innkeeper dared not confront them directly and only inquired tentatively.One of the Daemaxims, clearly the leader, replied, “An evil outsider immortal came here and killed more than ten of
“Indeed, it is a regretful thing,” someone said.“Regretful? As immortals, we should take it upon ourselves to exterminate evil and uphold justice. Daemaxim has been acting recklessly for too long, and it’s only natural that they face public outrage. I’m actually cheering for this young man and think he’s doing a good job!” a loud-voiced person boomed.However, his words were quickly countered by others in the inn.“A good job? If it means being outcasted, it’s best not to get involved.”“Perhaps there is a way,” a young guest sitting in another corner of the inn spoke up. “I heard that the faraway Purecastle is recruiting apprentices. They haven’t accepted new apprentices for hundreds of years, so their doors being open now must mean something. If that young man truly has the intention, seeking the protection of Purecastle could help him stand against Daemaxim.”“Purecastle…” Upon hearing this name, everyone’s eyes showed a hint of reverence. It was clear that the Purecastle was
