The group moved on, climbing a flight of 9,999 steps. When they reached the top, they arrived at the central plaza of the Universe Alliance.The plaza was enormous. From there, the view stretched out endlessly, with clouds rolling like a vast sea, creating a breathtaking scene.At this point, Bryn addressed them, "As esteemed guests of the Universe Alliance, you are welcome to use the guest rooms, labs, and other facilities. We will reconvene here in three days to discuss our strategies against the daemons. Does that work for everyone?"There were no objections, and everyone began to disperse. For them, entering the Universe Alliance felt like finding a safe haven amidst the chaos. It was a welcome relief.Adrian and his companions were about to leave as well, but Bryn called out, "Mr. Adrian, please follow me.""Me? Why?" Adrian asked.Bryn smiled and said, "Because you are a guest from Purecastle."It seemed the Universe Alliance was aware of their arrival—or rather, they had
Stellar Atrium was the most important site in the Universe Alliance. Though it had only three stories, its position at the highest point made it seem as if it was bathed in the vastness of the stars."Mr. Adrian, this way, please," Bryn said, gesturing invitingly as he led Adrian into the Stellar Atrium.As the doors slowly opened and Adrian stepped inside, he was awestruck by the breathtaking scene before him. "I never imagined the Stellar Atrium would be so magnificent. It's truly awe-inspiring!" he marveled.Bryn, with pride, explained, "This place was built with the wisdom of the Universe Alliance's leaders over the ages. It far surpasses any other similar site."Adrian expanded his divine consciousness to explore the place, discovering many remarkable features.Without delay, the two entered the Stellar Atrium, where a vast hall filled with people awaited them. As they stepped inside, they chanced upon a discussion. One person with a loud voice declared, "We should go to war
Another person spoke up, "Who is this? Why did you bring someone along without any explanation, Sir Bryn?"Bryn responded, "You don’t recognize him? This is Adrian, an apprentice of Purecastle and one of the few who have had the most recent contact with the daemons."The crowd exchanged glances, and soon someone realized, "Wait... Is he that Adrian?"Adrian was slightly surprised. "Oh? You know me?"The person nodded. "Yes, I've heard of your reputation. You defeated three daemonic generals. That's truly impressive!"The immortal seemed pleased to meet Adrian, and many others in the group showed similar expressions. However, a voice suddenly rang out, "I thought it was someone important, but it's just a worthless nobody."The speaker was the same person who had earlier opposed the head of Severing Heaven, Andreas Boone. Unlike Severing Heaven, Andreas' faction had not suffered attacks from the daemonic tribes. As one of the first to join the Universe Alliance, Andreas held senior
As Andreas spoke, he assumed a stance, eager to see what Adrian would do. Adrian smiled faintly and replied, "Good, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. In that case, let's discuss this and see where the truth lies."With those words, the surrounding crowd quickly dispersed, understanding that Adrian had made his choice. There was no need for them to intervene. All they had to do was step aside and watch how Adrian would handle the situation.Andreas sneered and said, "Kid, what do you intend to do? Speak up."Adrian responded calmly, "You just called me a worthless nobody, didn't you?""So what if I did?" Andreas replied with a hint of intimidation in his voice. Despite his tough words, he knew Adrian was an exceedingly powerful immortal. The intensity of Adrian's aura made it hard for him to breathe, and his bravado was beginning to wane.Adrian smiled slightly and asked, "Then may I ask, what do I need to do to prove that I'm not such a person?"Andreas was stumped, unable to
Bryn quickly clarified, "There's no need to be overly impressed by Adrian's strength. His level might not be as overwhelmingly powerful as it seems. However, his divine consciousness is exceptionally strong—there’s no doubt about that. Whether it's his level or spiritual power, his strength in either is more than enough."The crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief. Bryn's assessment was accurate; if Adrian's level alone were that powerful, it would be terrifying.While those around them marveled at Adrian's abilities, Andreas felt it most keenly. Trapped inside the formation Adrian had created, he experienced a moment of dizziness before finding himself in a mysterious, unfathomable space. All around him was dazzling light, like a sky full of brilliant stars.Shocked, Andreas cried out, "What kind of sorcery is this? Let me out of here at once!"Adrian smiled and explained, "Sorcery? Hardly. I simply designed a formation to isolate us from the outside world. This palace is too lux
Andreas could sense that Adrian was aiming to kill, so he didn’t dare let his guard down. With a powerful swing of his spear, he unleashed a barrage of counterattacks.Clang! Clang! Clang!Their weapons clashed in midair, the force of their strikes resonating throughout the space. Judging by this exchange, Andreas was no weakling. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight Adrian to a standstill.However, a brief stalemate didn’t mean much, as true strength is revealed in a prolonged battle. For Adrian, the initial clash was just a test—now, he was ready to get serious. Feigning a retreat, he quickly created distance between himself and Andreas.Andreas assumed Adrian had been intimidated by his strength and was now retreating. With a cold sneer, he chased after him, spear in hand."Die!" Andreas shouted. With a flick of his spear, countless powerful energy blasts shot forth.Whoosh! Whoosh!Accompanied by howling winds, even Adrian found it difficult to fend off the onslaug
The barrier was covered in numerous runes, each containing enormous power. Tyron examined it closely but couldn't determine its nature. Since observation wasn’t revealing anything, he decided to touch the barrier to see what it was.As he did, a powerful light erupted from the barrier.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Moments later, several formidable figures emerged from the light. They quickly surrounded Tyron, cutting off his escape. Tyron was taken aback. On closer inspection, he realized these newcomers were apprentices of the Universe Alliance. They glared at him menacingly, making him stay on high alert.One of them demanded sternly, “Who are you? Why are you here? What are you trying to do?”“Enough with the questions,” another interjected harshly. “Anyone appearing in this restricted area must have ulterior motives. We should apprehend him immediately!”Tyron realized that this was indeed a restricted area of the Universe Alliance. The hostility from the apprentices confirmed it.
Tyron's composed demeanor seemed slightly arrogant, causing the Universe Alliance apprentices to view him with suspicion. With Oscar and his group's added comments, their expressions grew even grimmer.One of the apprentices looked at Tyron coldly and said, “Regardless of your intentions, you’ll need to come with us. This matter must be decided by the elder who brought you here.”Tyron was then taken away by the apprentices. Although he wanted to resist, he quickly realized he was on someone else’s turf. Seeing Oscar’s triumphant expression, he calmed down and simply said, "Fine."As Tyron was escorted away, Oscar let out a series of cold chuckles. “Hmph! This is what you get for following me!”With a murmured phrase, Oscar mysteriously vanished from the spot, while those around him looked on with satisfaction.“That guy seems to be from Purecastle. He really thinks he's something special,” someone commented.“Yeah. Just because Adrian killed three daemonic generals, they all thi
