The longswords converged in mid-air, totaling eighty-one in number.Darnall on the opposite side remarked with surprise, “Eighty-one swords? The Nine-Nine Primordial Sword Formation?”Adrian chuckled. “Since you can count, I won’t waste any more words. The Nine-Nine Primordial Sword Formation is here, so you’d better surrender.”This Nine-Nine Primordial Sword Formation was a technique Kayne had taught Adrian. By harnessing the earth’s natural energy within Purecastle, one could create eighty-one powerful spiritual swords.“Surrender? In your dreams!” Darnall roared in fury.There was no point in further conversation. Adrian and the lava beast stepped forward, aligned their feet, and formed seals with their hands. In an instant, streams of light burst forth, changing the color of the sky. The intense sword essence surged upward, piercing the through cloud and erasing the overwhelming blood-red light that had filled the air.“Under this Heaven Sword, all evil and heretics have onl
After barely dodging the lava beast's attack, Darnall no longer had the strength to avoid Adrian's strike. He took the blow head-on.“How dare you hurt me! You’re all dead meat!” Darnall cursed angrily.Adrian replied in an ice-cold tone, “So what? Not only will I hurt you, but I’m going to kill you!”As soon as he finished speaking, his sword's momentum intensified. The sword essence surged forth, overwhelming and suffocatingly powerful. At first, Darnall managed to fend off the sword essence. But as Adrian’s attacks grew more relentless and his coordination with the lava beast strengthened, Darnall found himself gasping for breath.“Damn brat. How did you two become so powerful?” Darnall could hardly believe what he was seeing as he faced their fierce assault.“That’s because good always triumphs over evil. You should have expected this outcome when you chose this path.” Adrian floated in mid-air, gathering even more formidable power.In a short time, the entire sky was obscure
Fortunately, Adrian wasn’t one of those maniacs, so he had nothing to worry about.As the battle's focus shifted to Adrian and the lava beast, Jonty and the others were reduced to mere spectators. When Darnall suddenly inflicted a fatal injury on himself, everyone was visibly shocked.Jonty was particularly stunned. "I never would’ve thought he’d choose to commit suicide before being defeated. Is he really that determined not to fall into our hands, even if it means dying?"Tyron replied, “I think he’s doing this on purpose.” He pointed ahead, where blood poured from Darnall’s body, quickly filling the entire area. The blood seemed to turn into a dense mist, spreading rapidly across a vast space.Seeing this, everyone felt their heartstrings tighten, sensing that something terrible was about to happen. Those still engaged in the battle, especially Adrian and the others, immediately heightened their vigilance, preparing for the worst. They exchanged solemn looks, feeling an intense
Just as Adrian was about to fall victim to the attack, a powerful sword essence suddenly shot across the sky, cutting through the air and rescuing him from danger. The tension in everyone’s hearts finally eased.Adrian, being saved so suddenly, naturally wanted to see who his rescuer was. Following the direction of the attack, he saw a figure slowly descending from the sky. The figure, a man dressed in flowing white robes, looked like a god who had descended to the mortal realm. He radiated with an astonishing sharp aura and sword energy. Just by looking at him, one could sense that he was no ordinary person.As the man landed, everyone quickly bowed, saying in unison, "Greetings, Mr. Edwin!"“Sir Edwin!” Irene immediately rushed forward.It was Edwin Wells, the Sacred Edicts Elder.Adrian’s heart skipped a beat, and he was quite shocked. He had always heard of Edwin, but since the elder was often away, Adrian had never seen him in person. He had no idea what this legendary figure
Since the formation had already been broken, there was no reason to stay. Despite their boundless hatred, they had to leave for the greater good.With Darnall's death, the daemonic god was slowly reviving. Seeing their attempt to flee, the daemonic god roared furiously, “Think you can escape? It won't be that simple!” His voice echoed loudly.However, under the protection of stronger immortals, including the elders, Adrian, and Tyron, the group managed to break free from the battlefield. After a grueling escape, they finally found a place to rest and catch their breath.After resting for a while, Adrian recounted the events he encountered in the underground depths. “This is what happened…”Everyone was stunned. They never would have imagined that the Kayne they had known and lived with was actually an impostor.Darcie sighed. “Alas, it’s our fault. We failed to notice anything was amiss, which allowed the fake Kayne to…” Her voice trailed off.The lava beast reassured her, “No ne
1,600 kilometers away from Purecastle lay a vast, empty island. According to Edwin, this island was rich in spiritual energy and large enough to accommodate the remaining members of Purecastle.As they traveled eastward, they crossed an endless expanse of ocean. The seas of the immortal world were immense, with few landmasses, most of which were scattered islands. It didn’t take long for Adrian and the others to reach the location Edwin had mentioned. Looking out, they saw nothing but the ocean in every direction. The island Edwin referred to was located in this vast ocean. Although the coastline was still some distance away, Adrian and the others could sense the abundant spiritual energy emanating from the island, just as Edwin had described."This truly is a blessed land, an excellent place to settle!" someone exclaimed as the group prepared to move forward.They used their spiritual energy to form a boat and began crossing the sea. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and th
A strange celestial symphony drifted through the air as another group of immortals arrived. At the forefront was a woman in luxurious robes, seated on a golden palanquin.Her brows furrowed slightly as she spoke calmly, “Joao, you have quite the audacity. Crystalfrost was the first to discover Gull Isle, so how did it come to be yours?”“Madam Hazel, just because you’re here doesn’t mean I can’t be. If I say it’s mine, then it’s mine! If you have the ability, come and fight for Gull Isle!” Joao retorted with a mocking laugh.Hazel Bryan, the head of Crystalfrost, looked visibly angered.Adrian quickly assessed that these two groups were clearly at odds. He signaled to the others, and the Purecastlers moved aside to stay out of the conflict, opting to watch from the sidelines.“I wonder if there will be a third party showing up later,” Adrian mused.As if on cue, another voice rang out from afar, “Since both of you are here, how could I be absent?”A man strode across the waves,
Seeing Adrian stepping forward, Joao sneered. “So, you want to take their side? Let me tell you, it’s not so easy. If you don’t have enough strength, you might end up suffering.”“Is that so?” Adrian replied with a slight smile.Without warning, Adrian struck Joao. The punch landed with a muffled thud, sending Joao flying and crashing to the ground.“Why you…” Joao struggled to his feet, glaring at Adrian in anger.Adrian, unperturbed, asked, “What’s the matter? Want another taste?” He regarded Joao with a cold smile.Joao, now standing and stretching his limbs, declared, “You dare to attack me? You’re asking for trouble! Let me show you what real strength is!” A faint blue glow began to gather in his palm.Adrian shouted, “Hold on!”Joao’s heart sank. “What, are you scared now? It’s too late for that.”Adrian replied, “I’m not afraid. It’s just that fighting each of you one by one would take too much time. You should all attack me together.”Everyone was taken aback. “What do
