Tyron watched in surprise. The gap between him and Adrian was far greater than he had imagined. Even though they were both at the Nascent Stage, they seemed worlds apart. Words couldn’t capture the disparity.When the third sword struck, it was overwhelmingly fierce. The sword sliced through the air like a storm, tearing through the sky in an instant.“Ack! Ack!” Madi fell to his knees, coughing up blood. He realized that Adrian’s earlier claim—that he would be defeated in three moves—was true.Under the relentless assault of Adrian’s sword techniques, Madi had no excuse. He was beaten not just by sheer power but by the brilliance and complexity of Adrian’s swordplay. His defeat was not due to strength but to Adrian’s superior technique and his own lack of understanding.Filled with rage, Madi glared at Adrian. “I’ll kill you!” And without another word, he fled at high speed.Tyron watched in astonishment. Adrian was puzzled. Why had Madi run away instead of fighting as he had pro
“Tyron, gather everything. We need to leave quickly,” Adrian said, his scowl deepening as he noticed someone approaching from a distance. Given the recent commotion, it was only natural that someone would come. They needed to leave promptly to avoid potential trouble.Tyron quickly packed up the inner core, while Adrian grabbed the Pleiades Herb. They hurried away without delay. Staying any longer would likely lead to more conflicts, so avoiding unnecessary trouble was best.Before they had gone far, they heard piercing sounds and saw menacing figures approaching.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!A cold snort followed, and a man with a frosty expression scanned the area. He noticed the Crimson Blood Python on the ground and the aura of the Blood Divine Phoenix nearby. His face darkened.“Whoever has this spiritual treasure, if I find you and make you surrender it! There’s nothing I, Greg Barker, want that I can’t obtain!” Greg’s icy and frightening demeanor revealed his anger.Greg, a pow
The power surged violently into Adrian's body, causing him immense shock and awe. The intensity was beyond his expectations. "Such tremendous strength!" He was astonished by the unexpected force.Boom! Boom! Boom!The energy felt like a raging storm and chaotic lightning, terrifying in its ferocity.Adrian’s amazement grew as the power flowed into him, reaching saturation almost instantly. The torrent was overwhelming, and he was quietly astonished. The power seemed to break through his limits, reaching a new level of terror.“Not bad. Not bad at all,” Adrian said with a smile, pleased with the increase in his strength. His power was now truly formidable.Tyron was also deeply impressed. His own power had improved significantly, but Adrian’s breakthrough was astonishing. It seemed Adrian was nearing an even more terrifying realm. Tyron had not expected such rapid progress. Adrian appeared exceptionally formidable.“If you could unleash that power, it wouldn’t be this simple,” Adr
Madi, consumed by fury, had escaped to a remote location. As a formidable prodigy, he was stunned by the adversity he faced upon entering this place. It was unbearable for him to think that, despite having done nothing wrong, his faction members had perished. Everyone he brought with him had died.But his overwhelming grief and frustration didn’t change the reality of the situation. His only option now was to seek out Adrian and make him pay. In a cave, Madi grimly recovered his strength, his gaze cold as he stared into the distance. “Adrian, I swear I will tear you to pieces and make you regret ever crossing me!” he vowed, his eyes filled with venomous rage. The thought of Adrian’s actions only fueled his desire for vengeance. He longed to see Adrian suffer.Adrian, however, was well aware of Madi’s intentions and was unconcerned. If someone wanted to seek him out, so be it. He would not hesitate to kill them if they crossed his path.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Power surged into th
As the crowd approached the golden mountain, they saw flashes of light emanating from it as if a powerful treasure was about to emerge.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The violent force surged through the air, leaving everyone inwardly astonished. It felt like an extraordinary treasure was hidden within.Adrian’s expression turned cold as he observed the scene. The place was indeed intimidating.Tyron, standing beside him, had a sharp look in his eyes. “Mr. Adrian, it seems the things here might pose some danger to us. We should be cautious.”Tyron seemed to sense something, leaving Adrian both surprised and intrigued. “Is that so? I wonder what exactly this place holds,” he mused.Since Tyron was a daemon, the presence of the treasure might have a suppressive effect on him. Adrian suspected it might be a sacred treasure. Tyron’s mind raced with thoughts. If that were the case, he needed to investigate further.Adrian quickened his pace, eager to discover what was hidden within the gold
Adrian was speechless as he surveyed the scene. Blood from the fallen seeped into the ground, a disturbing sight that left him wondering. Was this mountain cursed? Could it be hiding some treasure?"This treasure feels sacred, but it seems blood is needed to unlock it. What’s going on?" Tyron asked, confused by the strange turn of events. He looked to Adrian for insight.Adrian replied calmly, "The world is full of treasures, but it’s humans who label them as good or evil. Treasures like this often have extraordinary powers. That’s why they provoke such intense reactions. Let’s wait and see what happens next."Truthfully, Adrian didn’t fully understand the situation either. In an ancient secret realm, anything was possible.Tyron trusted Adrian’s cautious nature and knew he wouldn’t act recklessly. The eerie scene before them set their hearts racing. They wanted to move closer, but the overwhelming power on display made them hesitate. Rushing in could lead to unforeseen dangers.S
Tyron looked into Adrian's eyes, understanding that the latter had spoken with careful consideration. To disagree now would show a lack of trust. "In that case, let’s go. I trust your judgment," he said firmly.In his mind, this was the time to rely on Adrian. Any doubt now would strain their bond. Adrian felt a slight satisfaction—mutual trust was crucial when advancing together. Adrian’s decision was based on his instincts. Ignoring those instincts and moving forward blindly would only lead to disaster.The two pushed through the crowd and made their way toward the mountaintop. Those watching were shocked."They’re walking straight into death," an old man muttered, while the younger onlookers grew uneasy."Let’s see if they make it. If they do, the danger’s likely passed, and we can follow," the crowd reasoned.Still, many hesitated, unwilling to move forward. The danger was clear, and one wrong step could lead to death. They had come to the secret realm for treasures, but peris
It was the perfect moment to act. Any later, and the dark energy would have become too intense, making entry far more difficult. If they had hesitated even a moment longer, the energy might have blocked their path entirely.As Adrian and Tyron rushed into the gaping hole, they were struck by how much stronger the dark energy inside had become."What is this?" Tyron gasped. The dark energy seemed even more powerful than his own daemonic energy, its intensity overwhelming.Those watching from below were horrified by what they saw."They made it in! The two of them actually passed through!" a middle-aged man shouted in frustration before charging toward the void.The sight of the brilliant golden light ahead spurred him on, and many others followed, unwilling to miss this chance. If Adrian and Tyron claimed the supreme treasure, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.With determination driving them, the crowd surged forward, racing at a terrifying pace. In moments, a larg
