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
The final attacker was Rishi. His long sword suddenly unsheathed itself, and the swords of those around him quickly followed.Swish, swish, swish!The drawn blades formed a deadly formation, slashing toward Adrian’s vital points. With ice swords blocking his path, celestial music disrupting his senses, and now this blade formation threatening him, Adrian was in a tight spot. Despite his formidable strength, escaping unscathed from such a combined assault seemed impossible.Seeing this, Jonty, Orson, Irene, and others prepared to assist. “These guys are too much! Three against one isn’t fair!”“Don’t intervene. Let’s just watch Adrian,” Edwin said, stopping them from joining the fight.Although they could only watch, their concern for Adrian was clear.Adrian moved like lightning, weaving through the sea of blades. As he dodged their attacks, he laughed wildly. “Is this all you’ve got? How weak!”“Damn it…”Joao, Hazel, and Rishi were all powerful figures at the level-nine Integ
“He… He...” Everyone was stunned.Who exactly was Adrian? Despite his ordinary appearance, he had managed to dismantle their formation so quickly—it was simply unbelievable. Realizing the danger, everyone hastily began to retreat, eager to avoid provoking Adrian further.Adrian smirked as he coldly said, “I’m giving you a chance now. If you surrender, you might still have a slim chance of survival. Otherwise, it’s death for all of you!” He echoed their earlier words.Hearing this, everyone’s expressions darkened. The three individuals exchanged tense glances. After a brief discussion, Rishi stepped forward and said, “Very well, since you’ve won, we concede.”With that, they prepared to leave. Seeing them turn away, Adrian felt satisfied. “At least you know your place.”Suddenly, a wave of murderous intent surged from behind Adrian, striking with deadly precision.“Sh*t!” Adrian’s heart sank, but it was too late to react.As the murderous aura closed in, Edwin sprang into action.
