Adrian's gaze was sharp and determined. He intended to enter the abyss and obtain the Prism Stone beneath the Phoenix Tree. Although he wasn’t entirely sure of the Universe Alliance’s interest in the stone, he guessed it was extremely important. However, he doubted they were relying on him alone; they had also sent Greg with the same goal.Finding the treasure would depend on their abilities and luck. Adrian sensed that Greg harbored significant resentment toward him. If Greg tried to harm him, Adrian wouldn’t show any mercy.As the crowd surged into the rift, Adrian stayed behind, watching the void. He understood that timing mattered—those who entered first might secure the most treasures, while those who came later could face the toughest challenges. Ultimately, it all came down to fate, as everyone’s fortune varied.As time passed, two-thirds of the people in the square had already entered. Only a few dozen remained, and Adrian hadn’t seen Oscar among them. He was certain Oscar w
Adrian chuckled lightly. “Tyron, there’s no need to be so anxious. We’re here to experience something. If nothing happens, entering this place would be pointless, wouldn’t it?”Tyron smiled faintly. “Haha, your mindset is admirable, Adrian.”As they were rapidly transported through the realm, gale winds swirled around them, but neither seemed alarmed, assuming this was a result of the powerful spatial teleportation waves. They soon arrived in a void-like space, with flashes of light sparkling around them. The environment seemed ominous, and Adrian’s expression grew cold.“It seems we’ve arrived in a place that’s far from ordinary,” Adrian remarked, surveying the surroundings.Meanwhile, Tyron was quietly astonished. Wasn’t this supposed to be the secret realm? Why were they met with such strangeness instead of a defined space?As Tyron pondered, Adrian seemed to sense something unusual.“Adrian, do you have a plan?” Tyron asked.Adrian gave a slight smile and looked at Tyron. “I
Tyron watched in disbelief as waves of energy shattered the space around them, creating a truly terrifying sight.Adrian sneered and said, "Trying to stop me? You'd better have the strength to back it up."Tyron, awestruck, responded, "Adrian, your power is incredible. I wouldn’t dare oppose you. If I tried, I’d probably be dead."Adrian paused briefly before replying, "Let’s go."Calmly, the two of them stepped into the void. The formation around them collapsed instantly, and they descended from a great height. They quickly adjusted their stances as they fell. Below them, a vast forest came into view, filled with occasional low growls. It seemed the forest was teeming with dangerous beasts. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the pair suppressed their energy, choosing to stay low-key in the secret realm. With such dangerous creatures around, acting boldly could lead to a swift demise.Adrian’s goal was to find the Prism Stone, though he had no idea where it was. The Universe Alliance h
Tyron was taken aback by Adrian's impulsive plan. The situation seemed precarious, and any mistake could be disastrous.Adrian smiled faintly and said, "Tyron, sometimes you have to take risks to gain rewards. We'll stay at a safe distance. We can’t afford to advance recklessly."This cautious approach seemed wise. Tyron hesitated but understood Adrian’s underlying message: observe from a distance and act only if an opportunity arose. After a moment’s consideration, Tyron nodded.As the pair moved forward cautiously, they soon felt the tremors of a fierce battle ahead. The sounds of a brutal clash echoed through the forest, with the ground shaking as if the surroundings were on the brink of destruction.They drew closer and sensed the immense power at play. Adrian stopped by a large tree and, feeling the overwhelming force, grasped Tyron's arm. "We shouldn’t advance any further. Look." He pointed into the distance.Tyron saw two colossal figures locked in battle—a Crimson Blood Py
Adrian was slightly surprised by Tyron’s knowledge. “I didn’t expect you to be so well-informed, Tyron. It does sound quite terrifying.”Tyron gave a faint smile and replied, “I enjoy reading a lot.”For Tyron, this knowledge wasn’t crucial. What mattered more was watching the two powerful beings inflict serious damage on each other so they could seize the opportunity to grab the herb.The Crimson Blood Python and the Phoenix Blood Bird continued their fierce battle. The python’s massive tail coiled around the phoenix, while the bird unleashed devastating flames on the snake.“It seems like there’s still no clear winner,” Tyron remarked.Adrian smiled calmly. “It’s not time yet. These beasts are formidable. If we act too soon, we might regret it. We need to wait for the right moment.”Moments later, the two beasts unleashed their strongest attacks. Thunderous roars echoed through the sky, causing the Pleiades Herb in the distance to sway precariously.Adrian smirked coldly. “The
The Phoenix Blood Bird's aura had visibly weakened. Adrian was on the verge of taking action, but he realized that charging out recklessly could lead to severe consequences.“Adrian, I can sense that the Phoenix Blood Bird is weakening. Should we make our move?” Tyron asked, his gaze fixed on the tempting Pleiades Herb and the treasures of the two beasts.Adrian replied, “Tyron, now is not the time to act impulsively. This beast is not an ordinary opponent. Charging in could have disastrous results, especially if we end up giving an advantage to those lurking in the shadows.”Tyron was surprised by Adrian's cautious approach. He hadn’t considered the possibility of others being present, and Adrian’s keen perception had revealed much he might have missed.A sudden roar filled the air as the Crimson Blood Python opened its massive mouth, releasing a bloodthirsty aura that shook the surroundings.Adrian's expression changed. “This is serious.”Tyron looked up at the Phoenix Blood Bi
Swallowston, the biggest city in Navia.Something astounding happened.A private cruise ship appeared on the horizon of the Swallowston Sea. Hundreds of fighter jets escorted the ship from the air while an aircraft carrier sailed behind it. Cars pulled over and onlookers were stopped behind a yellow line. All to open up a path for a legend.The person was rumored to be a bigshot, the protector of Swallowston, bearing the title of “War Legate.”“Welcome back, War Legate!” a roar came from the pier where ten thousand soldiers were lined up, looking in high spirits.A young man disembarked from the ship. He looked majestic with his head held high. He had an air of confidence that could change the mood of wherever he went and seemed unbeatable.The man was a legend in the military and a hero of the country. He was given the title of “War Legate” and was only second to one other person. He founded the Blood Corps which was sharp as a sword and was undefeatable. This man was a legend
“What? The war legate is coming?” Everyone’s eyes grew wide upon hearing the news.“Wilfred, who is this war legate? Was he the one…” Leonard was in awe.There was only one person who held that title in all of Navia—the leader of the Blood Corps. There was no other like him.The entire city of Swallowston had to accommodate the man’s every move today.“Who else? Of course, it’s the Bellum Legate who had a ten thousand soldier-strong blockade today.”“Heavens, he’s coming to our home?”“Grandfather is so famous that even the legate is coming to see him?”The legate was well-known among the citizens, but few had ever seen him.“The gods are smiling upon our family.” Harold raised his hands. “Ever since Henry’s death, our family has been blessed with wave after wave of prosperity. Even the legate is coming to celebrate my birthday!”Everyone present was excited. What had they done to deserve attention from the legate?The Xanders were overjoyed.***“Father, the legate is almos
