Everyone was stunned to see Adrian inflict such massive damage on the serpent with a single strike. However, their astonishment quickly turned to alarm as the giant serpent let out a mournful hiss and charged full speed toward Adrian."Windstep!" Tyron leaped into the air as he shouted. With a swift wave of his hand, a powerful gust of wind enveloped Adrian, shielding him from the serpent's onslaught.Tyron then called out to the crowd, "Everyone, this serpent is incredibly powerful! We need to join forces and take it down together!""Agreed!" Several immortals sprang into action, but most of the onlookers remained on the ground.Boom!Another explosive sound echoed as the serpent launched a renewed attack. This time, it opened its massive jaw wide and spewed a toxic mist that engulfed Adrian in an instant. Although Adrian was initially protected by a barrier, the toxic mist quickly overpowered it. The barrier corroded rapidly and soon vanished altogether.The serpent had been wa
If he didn’t need to think about the bigger picture, Tyron would have loved to deal with these troublemakers right there and then.The giant serpent roared, its massive body crashing down on the small humans."Everyone, follow my lead! Form up!" Adrian commanded.Despite facing a massive beast, everyone stood their ground. Under Adrian’s direction, the group formed a defensive line against the serpent’s attack. The serpent's assault hit hard, and Adrian felt an immense weight on him. Even though the pressure was shared among eight people, it felt like a mountain to him.Tyron shouted, "What are you waiting for? Do you really think you'll be spared if we’re defeated? Ridiculous! We’ll all die together!""He's right. We can’t just stand by. We need to help.""Exactly. If they die, we all die. Let’s go!"Finally, some people were ready to join the fight. Tyron quickly counted a few dozen who were prepared to step in. He then turned to Magath and demanded, "What about you, Magath? A
Adrian and his team were so absorbed in their battle with the giant serpent that they didn’t notice they were being watched. Among those observing were Irene and Orson.Irene smiled and said, "Didn’t I tell you, Orson? His abilities are impressive."She had initially worried about Adrian's performance in the trial, but now she felt reassured. His skillful tactics suggested he would lead the group to safety."A level nine immortal showing this level of power is impressive," Orson agreed. "However, their formation could still be optimized. If it were me, I would be able to unlock even more potential."Irene chuckled. "You can’t compare everyone to yourself. You’re the best in formation techniques at Purecastle."Orson replied modestly, "You flatter me, Lady Irene. My master is even better."Nearby, a few elder figures started to analyze the situation. "Alright, let’s focus on watching the battle."On the battlefield, Adrian and the team continued their intense fight against the gi
For a moment, they were at a standstill.As the current leader, Magath quickly assessed the situation and considered their options.Suddenly, a light appeared before them, accompanied by a male voice saying, "I can help you eliminate the giant snake and deal with those other guys as well. The question is, are you willing to pay the price?"Startled, Magath demanded, "Who’s there?"The light twisted and flickered, quickly taking the shape of a human figure. The figure was only a shadowy silhouette, its face obscured, but the aura it emitted was immensely powerful. As the shadowy figure appeared before them, the pressure made it difficult for Magath and the others to breathe.The shadow responded, "Who I am isn’t important. What matters is that I can help you achieve your goal. As I said, are you willing?"Magath and his group hesitated, unsure how to respond to the shadow's offer."Maybe we should agree, Magath. We don't have any other options right now, so we might as well take
Looking closely, everyone realized it was none other than Magath and his group.Tyron cursed, "Damn! These guys just won’t quit!"Adrian observed them closely and quickly noticed something was off. They seemed much stronger than before—far stronger than they had been just a short time ago. An inexplicable, sinister energy was emanating from their bodies."Hmph, it seems someone has gained some malevolent power and plans to use it against us," Adrian said coldly.Magath raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Heh, so what? As long as we can eliminate you, I’d become a vengeful spirit without hesitation!"After the fierce battle they had just fought, it would be challenging for Adrian's group to face these newly empowered foes. Understanding the situation, everyone took a step back."Orson, look. The trial participants are turning on each other," Irene called out.The others observed for a moment and casually responded, "Well, that’s nothing new. Magath’s intentions were never pure; he’s
The group, who had been on the brink of despair, exclaimed in delight, "Really? That’s fantastic!"Magath, on the other hand, felt disdain and anger. He sneered. "Hmph, so what? You’re still headed for a dead end."As soon as he finished speaking, Magath's group quickly formed a powerful formation. Countless streams of malevolent aura converged around them, gradually taking on the shape of a daemonic god. It had three heads and six arms, with a ferocious and terrifying appearance. As it emerged, it brought an overwhelming sense of pressure to the battlefield.At that moment, one of the elders stepped forward. "As I suspected, it’s you. I didn’t think you would reveal yourself in such a manner."This was Kayne Hickman of Purecastle, standing tall in the wind, a sword case strapped to his back. With his long beard flowing, he appeared like an immortal descended from the heavens.The six eyes of the daemonic god’s shadow glared at Kayne coldly as it spoke, "Human desire is boundless.
Although Adrian seemed to be holding his own against the daemonic god, in reality, his stamina was wearing thin."What should we do?" Orson asked, tense despite his strength.Kayne responded, "Lead two teams of apprentices and attack the daemonic god from both sides. We must trap it here and prevent its escape.""Understood," Orson replied, retreating to organize the teams.As Adrian continued to battle the daemonic god, he was effectively buying time for the others to execute their plan. Orson and another apprentice, Simeon Flair, led their teams in a charge from the left and right flanks. With Adrian at the front, they surrounded the daemonic god on three sides.Sensing the tightening trap, the daemonic god sneered. "You insignificant fools think you can defeat me? Today, I'll make sure you all die!"Once more, a massive wave of daemonic essence surged like a tsunami.But it seemed Kayne had been waiting for this. He soared into the sky, instantly positioning himself behind th
A powerful daemonic god was sealed beneath Purecastle—the same daemonic god they had just encountered. As the seal weakened, the daemonic god's activity became more frequent.After hearing Orson’s explanation, one apprentice remarked, "That daemonic god didn’t seem very powerful. With our strength, we could easily handle it.""Yeah, we could definitely defeat that daemonic god!" another added.Orson shook his head. "It’s not as simple as you think. What we faced was just the daemonic god's shadow. Its true form hasn’t even appeared yet. Worse, the daemonic god has many followers.""The daemonic god has followers? Believers?" Adrian asked.Orson confirmed, "Yes, he has a frighteningly large number of them."In response, an apprentice complained, "Why did we even join Purecastle? We might as well go back home and enjoy our lives.""Exactly. We thought joining Purecastle would be beneficial, but now it looks like we might lose our lives instead. It’s not worth it."Several apprent
