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.
Just then, Edwin approached. Adrian looked up at him, puzzled, asking, “What brings you here, Mr. Edwin?”Edwin smiled slightly and replied, “I have something to discuss with you.”“What is it?” Adrian cleared a space for Edwin to sit.Edwin settled beside Adrian and said, “I know your true identity. You’re not from our world, are you?”Adrian was startled. He had never revealed his identity to anyone, so how did Edwin know?Noticing Adrian’s apprehension, Edwin reassured him with a smile. “Don’t be nervous. I mean you no harm. I’m here to offer my assistance.”“Oh?” Adrian was intrigued.Edwin explained, “I recognized your identity because I’ve encountered many relics from Mythria during my travels. The aura you emit is similar to those relics.”‘The maritime immortal region had relics from Mythria?’ As Adrian pondered this, he suddenly realized something. “Are you suggesting that Mythria and the maritime immortal region were once connected?”Edwin confirmed, “Yes, from what
Adrian frowned slightly and asked, "Tyron?"Tyron smiled as he approached. "You’re heading thousands of miles away, and as your friend, I can’t help but worry."Though Adrian usually preferred solitude, Edwin and the others advised, "Adrian, if you go alone, we won’t be at ease either. It’s safer if two of you travel together. You can look out for each other."Adrian found their reasoning sensible. He smiled and said, "In that case, I won’t decline your kind offer. Let’s go, Tyron!"They bid farewell to the others and set off for the Far North Sea. The region was immense and boundless, growing colder the further north they traveled. As they entered the area, they saw countless icebergs floating on the sea’s surface, and the sky was lit by dazzling, flickering auroras.Adrian looked at the magnificent scene and wondered, "I wonder where the ruins Mr. Edwin mentioned are located."Tyron thought for a moment and replied, "I think they’re likely in the Ruins of Origin."“The Ruins o
The massive waves felt like a mountain pressing down, leaving Adrian barely any time to catch his breath. Instantly, an overwhelming sense of suffocation enveloped him. Both Adrian and Tyron were caught off guard.“What a powerful impact, but I like it!” Adrian’s fighting spirit was ignited by the turbulent situation. He condensed his energy into a formidable sword energy that seemed capable of slicing through anything in its path.“Since you’re giving it your all, I can’t fall behind!” Tyron laughed heartily and unleashed his own energy, matching Adrian’s intensity.Together, they cut through the waves and descended further. Soon, they were enveloped in total darkness, unable to see their hands in front of their faces. They realized they had likely entered the fabled underwater ruins.The oppressive force around them intensified, sharpening their senses and alerting them to lurking dangers. As they continued to descend, the murderous aura in the air grew fiercer. Before long, an e
“Tyron, tell me about your daemon clan. What’s the situation there?” Adrian asked.“Alright,” Tyron began, no longer holding back. “The eight branches of the daemon clan were consumed by endless hatred and war. They wouldn't listen to reason. When space shattered, both I and the Gilded Tyrant got trapped in the maritime immortal world. The Gilded Tyrant, due to his daemon identity, was besieged by humans and had to seal himself in the underwater ruins. I, on the other hand, disguised myself as a human and roamed the world for years.“Initially, I wanted to rescue the Gilded Tyrant, but as time passed, I became attached to the human world and lost interest in returning to the daemon domain. Even though I was the young lord of the Gilded Clan, I didn’t care much for such matters. This decision ultimately tangled me in your situation.”Adrian nodded. “So that’s the story. I didn’t realize there was such a history between you and your father.”Tyron added, “Yes, I didn’t intend to hide
Seeing Adrian's pale face, everyone gathered around, concerned about what had happened. Adrian explained the situation, and their astonishment grew.Tyron approached to inspect the object and quickly realized something. “This object is likely tied to the ancient war between humans and daemons, but the energy within it remains a mystery,” he said.“Regardless, since it was given to us by the Gilded Tyrant, it must have some purpose. We should keep it for now,” Adrian decided, storing the stone away. Although he sensed the crystal contained vast information, he couldn't decipher it with his current abilities.Their journey had yielded some results, though Sameer and his group hadn't been so lucky. Despite their efforts, they hadn’t found their leader in the underground palace.Adrian suggested, “If he’s not here, he must be somewhere else. You can return to Purecastle with us and use their resources to aid in the search. That would greatly improve your chances of finding him.”“I agree,”
Irene halted her attack and exclaimed, "Adrian!"As Adrian and the others landed, he smiled and said, "Well, I’m back! Are you glad to see me?"Irene nodded, "Of course!"In truth, Irene had been reluctant to let Adrian leave. But with his responsibilities, she had no choice. Now that he was back, it felt like a dream come true.Orson, Rahu, and the others soon joined them, crowding around Adrian and showering them with questions and concerns.Noticing the absence of the elders, Adrian asked, "Where are Mr. Edwin and the other elders? Why aren't they here?"Orson teased, "Were you expecting Mr. Edwin to welcome you personally?"Adrian quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I was just curious."Irene explained, "The elders are out discussing matters with other factions and won't return for a few days. For now, only us apprentices are guarding the island."Adrian inquired, "Is it related to the daemons?"Everyone exchanged glances and nodded. "You saw it on the way back, right?
