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
The three figures sneered coldly. “Trying to run now? In this remote jungle, no one will come to your rescue.” They began to conjure a swirling mass of daemonic essence in their hands.Seeing their preparations for an attack, the woman slowly closed her eyes, resigning herself to her fate.Suddenly, a surge of sword essence erupted from the depths of the forest. Caught off guard by the unexpected assault, the three hurriedly raised their defenses. They managed to dispel the sword essence and demanded, “Who is it? How dare you interfere? Are you seeking death?”“You said no one would come to save her. Well, here I am. Do you have anything else to say?”As these challenging words echoed through the forest, a powerful figure slowly emerged from the shadows. The man exuded an overwhelming sharpness, and wherever he moved, the daemonic essence dispersed.The woman, who had lost all hope, saw Adrian and felt a glimmer of hope rekindled.Adrian positioned himself in front of her, blocki
Boom!A thunderous sound echoed as the attack struck heavily against the barrier. Thick dust and smoke billowed, but Adrian remained unmoved. The Undersea Sovereigns felt a surge of wariness seeing this scene. The fact that Adrian could remain so calm while blocking such a terrifying attack indicated his considerable strength.Realizing the gravity of the situation, the other two Sovereigns drew their swords, joining their leader. The three blades combined in mid-air, creating thousands of sharp edges that all slashed toward Adrian.“We’ll see if you can withstand our combined attack!”With the three swords launched, the sky seemed to change color. The terrifying aura caused dark clouds to gather, turning the previously clear weather into a gloomy, overcast state. The forest was enveloped in a sudden chilling wind. This was the supreme art of the Undersea Sovereigns: the Heavenly Dark Sword Technique.The woman on the ground was horrified as the environment drastically changed. Th
