This situation not only implied that Oscar was in the forbidden area but also led people to speculate about his identity and his purpose within the Universe Alliance. His association with two dark immortals had already made people wary and surprised. Even if he had countless explanations, clearing his name would be challenging.Tyron remained calm. "If you have nothing to hide, you wouldn’t be afraid of such accusations. Are you feeling guilty? If you’re worried about what others say, prove your strength. That way, no one will dare speak against you."Oscar’s face showed a flicker of anger. He hadn’t expected Tyron to be so confrontational."Do you know what you’re doing? You’re seeking your own destruction. You’re the first person to bring this upon themselves since I came to the Universe Alliance. Since you’re so eager, I’ll grant your wish and show you the difference between a genius and a fool!" Oscar said, preparing to act.Tyron’s expression hardened. At that moment, a terrif
Oscar's expression darkened. "I see, you despise me so much that you'd speak such venomous words. But I've always acted justly and have nothing to hide!" he declared.As he finished, the power in his hands morphed into a web of energy, like strands of silk, tightly binding Tyron's body. The crowd watched in stunned amazement, captivated by the spectacle.Tyron responded with a calm smile. "Is that so? I think you're feeling guilty. If not, why are you so nervous?"His words deepened the onlookers' astonishment. They looked at Oscar, speechless."Do you think Oscar might have ties to the daemons?" a voice called out, sparking chaos in the crowd."It’s very possible.""Oscar might’ve been assimilated by the daemons."Fear spread rapidly as speculation grew."If he's been hiding within the Universe Alliance, doesn’t that make him a huge threat?" a white-haired elderly man asked fearfully."I think the Universe Alliance should expel him as soon as possible," a young man suggested
As the crowd continued their chatter, Oscar felt the weight of suspicion growing. It seemed like everyone would soon believe he was with the daemons. The thought fueled his rage, making his attacks even more relentless.Tyron's expression turned icy. Oscar's strength had been formidable from the start, but now, enraged, he was even more dangerous.Bam!Tyron was sent flying, a bitter taste rising in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He appeared severely injured. His face darkened as he realized he had underestimated Oscar's power. At first glance, Oscar had seemed like a mere dark immortal, with only the two dark immortals at his side appearing particularly strong. But now, it was clear that Oscar himself was far more formidable than anyone had anticipated.Oscar's expression was cold as he spoke, "I am a human and have done nothing wrong. If you retract your accusations, I’ll spare you today. Otherwise, just like Adrian killed Andreas, I’ll kill you, and no one will o
The scene was utterly terrifying, sending chills down the spines of everyone watching. The blood-red energy grew more ominous with each passing second, creating an atmosphere so oppressive that it felt like their bodies were drenched in blood, with every piece of flesh weighed down by its dreadful power. Tyron’s expression fell as he felt the overwhelming force bearing down on him. Such dark energy was indeed terrifying. If no one came to his rescue soon, he feared he would be gravely injured or even lose his life.'Where is Adrian? What's he doing?' Tyron wondered anxiously. ‘If he doesn’t show up soon, my life will be in grave danger!’Yet, at this critical moment, Adrian seemed to have abandoned him, showing no signs of coming to his aid."What are you looking for? Do you have an ally in hiding? Is it Adrian?" Oscar asked, his voice tinged with suspicion. "I see now. You came here on purpose to provoke me. What exactly are you trying to do?" Oscar wasn’t a fool—he had already
The crowd buzzed with speculation, each person holding a different opinion. However, one thing was clear: Oscar had the upper hand in this fight.Oscar, controlling the two dark immortals, launched attacks from both sides. Tyron struggled to fend them off, while Oscar himself closed in. The combined force of the three was overwhelming, enough to obliterate anyone and leave nothing but ashes.Oscar's cold gaze swept around, suspicion in his eyes as he sneered. "Hmph! How ignorant you are. You’re no match for me. If you have any allies, you’d better call them out to share your fate!"Tyron responded with a cold laugh. "What are you thinking? Dealing with a daemonic being like you is just a matter of lifting a finger for me."Despite his bravado, Tyron knew that killing Oscar wouldn't be easy, especially with those two terrifying puppets by his side. Right now, he was in a passive position, struggling against the combined attack of Oscar and the two dark immortals.Oscar sneered agai
Suddenly, the two dark immortals surrounding Tyron unleashed a powerful attack on him. Though Tyron maintained a calm facade, anxiety gnawed at him.‘Adrian, if you don’t come soon, I’m really going to die here!’ he thought desperately."Hell Strike!""Cosmic Punch!"The crowd watched in awe, the terrifying scene unfolding before them. The two forces collided, and it seemed Tyron had played his final card. The outcome seemed inevitable, yet the onlookers couldn't help but hope for a sudden turn of events that might change the tide. Curiosity gripped them, craving the thrill of an unexpected twist.A series of deafening explosions echoed as Tyron spat blood and was sent flying—he had been utterly defeated. The crowd had anticipated this outcome, so they weren’t entirely surprised. However, their curiosity only grew—would Oscar kill Tyron? After all, killing was a common occurrence in this world, though doing it here required some consideration.“How dare you act so arrogantly, you
Adrian ignored the murmurs of the crowd and focused on Oscar. Oscar laughed sarcastically. "Just because I address you as Mr. Adrian doesn't mean I fear you. Today, your friend should apologize. If not, both of you will be disgracing Purecastle."The crowd was taken aback. Adrian's strength was well-known, and the difference in combat capabilities between him and Tyron was significant. Adrian had easily defeated Andreas earlier, demonstrating a power that was both inscrutable and formidable. While Oscar might easily handle Tyron, dealing with Adrian was a different challenge altogether."Hmph! Since you’re determined to meddle in this matter, let's settle it with three moves. If you win, I’ll apologize to him," Oscar proposed, his tone suggesting a willingness to find a compromise.Adrian smirked, sensing that Oscar was trying to maneuver out of the situation.Tyron sneered. He was determined to deal with Oscar himself. "Hahaha, weren’t you so arrogant earlier, Oscar? If you lose
At that moment, Oscar realized he might have to apologize to Tyron. If he did, his daemonic identity could become nearly impossible to disprove.Adrian sneered, "You’ll find out soon enough."These words stirred an unexpected sense of anticipation among the crowd.In an instant, Oscar and Adrian were locked in a fierce battle. The two dark immortals emerged from the shadows, adding to the spectacle. Those familiar with their backgrounds were astonished; these had once been powerful figures in their own right, and the fact that Oscar had turned them into his puppets was shocking. Although many looked down on such dark arts, others envied them. Having these dark immortals as allies provided a significant advantage in battle.“Hmph! You were once a genius, but opposing me has sealed your fate. I hope you don’t regret it,” Oscar said grimly. For him, this conflict with Adrian was a matter of life and death—a common outcome among geniuses with deep vendettas.Dark forces surged from th
The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han
Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b
At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv
The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed
Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev
The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his
Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co
Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused
"What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
