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
The situation was truly terrifying.Bryn smiled ever so slightly. “I didn’t strike immediately to give you a chance. Since you squandered it, don’t blame me for being unkind! I’ll eradicate you all. Go—!" His tone was icy and commanding.Light shimmered from his hand as a blade's radiance surged forth. In an instant, countless blade beams roared out like a monstrous wave, sweeping through with a fierce storm.Crack!It sounded as if the sky had torn open.In a flash, the immense aura surrounding the ringleader was obliterated with a loud bang, leaving nothing behind. One strike had completely shattered him. The ringleader's body exploded, releasing a surge of black gas. This gas formed into numerous ghostly apparitions in mid-air."He… He’s a daemon..." The immortals who had rallied behind him were in shock. They hadn’t expected that their supposed ally was actually a daemon.The ghostly figures spoke in a sinister tone, "I didn’t expect my disguise to be uncovered. Sir Bryn, yo
Adrian knew that if he didn’t act now, the daemons might become overwhelming. It was time to make his move.Swish!A sword strike sliced through a daemon, killing it instantly.The daemon, horrified, roared, "Who is it?!"Turning toward the sound, the daemon saw Adrian stepping forward with his sword. It stared at Adrian and sneered. "You little brat, who do you think you are? Trying to make a name for yourself?!"Adrian replied with a laugh, "Can’t you tell? You daemons aren’t that impressive after all."The daemon’s mouth twitched in irritation. With a fierce grin, it lunged at Adrian.The daemon’s speed and strength were formidable. Its attack came with a suffocating gale. At the same time, it roared, "Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!"With those words, black gas erupted from the daemon, crashing toward Adrian like a tidal wave, seemingly intent on devouring him.Adrian faced the oncoming tide without fear. A flash of light sparked in his eyes as he unlea
The daemons were enveloped in a sea of blood-red light. The swirling blood light surged forth, quickly gathering in mid-air. As the intense blood light coalesced high above, everyone’s hearts tightened in apprehension.The leading daemon greedily absorbed the blood essence, drawing on the power being released. With each moment, as it absorbed more blood essence, the daemon's strength grew increasingly formidable.Faced with such a terrifyingly powerful opponent, the onlookers were alarmed. They hadn’t anticipated that the daemon could enhance its power by absorbing the life force of others. The daemon’s growing strength was truly daunting.Just as the daemon's power reached new heights, Bryn, who had been observing from the sidelines, decided to act. He swung his long knife and roared, "How dare these mere evil daemons be so rampant before the Universe Alliance!"A mighty sword essence slashed directly toward the daemon.The daemon, startled by the approaching sword essence, tried
