Edwin said, "If more daemon generals show up, do you plan to fight them all?"Even though Edwin and the other elders were in seclusion deep within the cave, they could still sense everything happening outside. Edwin had noticed the increasing number of daemon generals and realized that this situation was unsustainable. If the daemons launched a large-scale invasion, they would be powerless to resist. Instead of continuing like this, he suggested finding another plan.Adrian agreed with the elder’s reasoning and asked, "So what strategy do you propose, Mr. Edwin?"Edwin responded, "We still need about ten more days. After discussing with the other elders, we decided to hide Gull Isle deep under the sea. By sealing it with the ocean's aura essence, even the daemons won’t be able to break through our defenses.""That could work, but if we do this, wouldn’t it mean we can’t stay on the island?" Adrian speculated.Edwin confirmed, "Yes. You need to leave quickly and seek help from more
Thundura asked, "That makes sense. Should we stay here and keep watch?"Umbra replied, "Yes, we have enough forces to surround the entire sea. I refuse to believe they vanished into thin air.""No problem."Thundura was pleased with the plan and immediately set his subordinates to work. Soon, the sea surface was swarming with a bustling army of daemons, their numbers darkening the waters below. Under such immense pressure, even an ant would find it impossible to escape.Unbeknownst to them, Gull Isle had already been hidden by a large amount of aura essence. Adrian and Tyron had long since escaped and were now in a distant part of the sea.Looking back at the daemon horde, Adrian sighed. "I never thought we’d end up wandering like this."Tyron laughed. "Hahaha, I wouldn’t call it wandering. After all, we do have something important to do."Adrian sighed again. "Alright, now’s not the time to dwell on this. We should head to the Universe Alliance.""Agreed." Tyron had no objecti
Finally, Adrian and Tyron reached their destination. They were surprised to see tens of thousands of immortals gathered outside the vast canyon, all seeking refuge within the Universe Alliance.Before them, the endless, towering sword essence surged from within the hundred-mile canyon, forming an impassable barrier. This sword essence not only prevented daemons from invading but also blocked the gathered immortals from entering.The crowd of immortals was anxiously discussing their situation."Why haven't they let us in yet?""What’s there to complain about? We’ve been stuck here for nearly half a month with no progress. Who knows when this will be resolved..."When someone complained, another retorted, "They probably just don’t want to let us in!"This suggestion was quickly dismissed. "Don’t talk nonsense! The Universe Alliance is the largest organization in the maritime immortal region. They wouldn’t refuse us entry. You’re just being jealous!"Soon, the gathering was filled
Tyron noticed Adrian’s strange demeanor and asked, "What's wrong?"Adrian replied quietly, as if afraid of disturbing something, "There seems to be something odd among these immortals. I think I may have figured out why the Universe Alliance hasn't opened the barrier for so long..."Tyron was startled but soon seemed to understand. His eyes narrowed as he responded, "I see... I understand now."Being a daemon himself, Tyron quickly grasped Adrian's implication, and he smirked. It appeared that Adrian had detected some immortals among the crowd with hidden daemonic essences. These immortals looked like ordinary people, making it difficult to spot anything unusual with the naked eye. However, Adrian and Tyron's divine consciousness revealed the truth.This raised another question: if they could detect the anomaly with their divine consciousness, why hadn’t the many powerful immortals present noticed it? This puzzled Adrian.After some thought, Adrian suggested, "Mr. Tyron, do you th
Adrian chuckled. "I never thought the Universe Alliance would use such a clever tactic. Truly brilliant!"Over time, Adrian began to understand the Universe Alliance's intentions better, but he was surprised by how far they were willing to go to achieve their goals. He couldn’t help but admire their methods, considering them masterful.As tension in the crowd grew, the two opposing factions challenged each other to a duel. Unable to reach a resolution, they agreed to a life-and-death battle three days later. Both sides would fight to the death, with no complaints allowed from the loser.To Adrian, their actions seemed incredibly foolish. The Universe Alliance had yet to make any statement, so even if these factions fought, there was no guarantee their struggle would be recognized. Some people, including Adrian and Tyron, realized this and chose to remain on the sidelines, creating a standoff among themselves.The three days before the battle were torturous for many. Although they h
Despite his sigh, Adrian said, "Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. Whether human or daemon, we're essentially the same. Conflicts like these stem from various selfish desires. Once you understand that, there's really nothing to be sad about."At that moment, a voice interrupted, "No truer words have been spoken, fellow immortal. I couldn't agree more."Adrian turned to see three immortals approaching. They wore wide robes, suggesting they were from the same faction.Adrian frowned slightly and asked, "And you are...?" Uncertain of their intentions, he felt wary.The immortal smiled, trying to ease Adrian’s concerns. "My name is Oscar Black, a wandering immortal. I overheard your insightful words and found them very reasonable, so I thought I’d come over for a chat."With this introduction, Adrian relaxed a bit. "Please, have a seat."Adrian assumed that anyone who approached during such a tense time must be different from those fighting out of selfishness. That mad
The Universe Alliance had finally taken action.Boom!A deafening explosion shook the entire battlefield, catching the immortals off guard and forcing them to scramble for cover. As the dust and smoke cleared, a massive chasm appeared between the two sides. It looked as though a gigantic, sharp blade had sliced through the ground, its sheer size and suddenness leaving everyone in awe. For a moment, no one dared to advance. All the immortals stopped fighting and turned their attention to the Universe Alliance.A commanding voice rang out from within the base, "You are all fellow immortals. Why are you fighting here?!"The voice was filled with authority, cutting through the chaos and reaching every ear on the battlefield. As it echoed, a radiant bridge appeared, spanning the chasm and slicing through the towering sword essence. A figure began to walk slowly across the bridge.This figure wore a purple-gold robe adorned with ancient symbols and a crown representing the infinite yin-
When Bryn’s words hit the crowd, it was like a bombshell had exploded. Everyone was stunned, realizing they had been misled. Murmurs quickly spread through the crowd.Adrian watched with amusement. The Universe Alliance had never promised anything; it was all based on their own assumptions. Now they wanted to hold the Universe Alliance accountable for their own misconceptions?At that moment, one of the immortals stepped forward. "You people from the Universe Alliance are truly detestable. You use your power and influence to do whatever you please. How can such unfairness exist in this world? Do you really think that just because you have the Universe Alliance, no one can oppose you?""Damn, these people are shameless, using moral blackmail!" Adrian spat on the ground. If it were up to him, he would teach these people a harsh lesson.But Bryn remained calm. Even when faced with these unreasonable demands, he showed no sign of anxiety. Instead, he smiled faintly and replied, "Everyo
