Adrian was nowhere to be seen, leaving the Violet Rain Divine Bird in shock, unable to comprehend his absence.The blood-colored energy surrounding them was a barrier created by Madi, draining his life force. This blood barrier was impenetrable to outsiders.Suddenly, a voice echoed from the sea of blood, “Heh heh, kid, do you know what the worst outcome is now that you’re in my sea of blood?”Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird, listening from outside, felt a wave of shock. The blood energy surged like towering waves, trapping Adrian in a dire situation.“What is it? Do tell. I’m quite curious.” Adrian sneered coldly, finding the being in the sea of blood utterly ridiculous.“The worst outcome is that we’ll perish together. None of us will survive!” Madi said, his cold laughter tinged with madness as if he was determined to share his twisted thoughts. He seemed to embrace a death wish while intent on killing Adrian.“If you really want to die, why waste your breath on such nonsense?”
Adrian’s power surged through the sea of blood, relentlessly pushing forward. The sheer terror of it was astonishing, causing onlookers to shudder.As Adrian advanced, golden glimmers flickered in his eyes. This sea of blood was a realm created by his opponent, who had drained his entire life force to construct it. If things went well, this could become Adrian’s paradise. If not, it would turn into his grave.If the lurking expert knew what Adrian was thinking, he would likely be speechless with shock, as Adrian seemed to view this place as nothing more than a tourist spot. This was not just any realm. It was the sea of blood crafted from the strongman's life force, filled with the energies of countless vengeful souls, powerful enough to influence a person’s mind. Without a strong mental fortitude, one could easily be misled here.The hidden expert noticed that Adrian remained unaffected. ‘Hmph! I don’t believe that even if I weaken you, your will can stay so strong,’ he thought, hi
Faced with this scene, Adrian remained calm, showing no signs of panic. To him, it was merely another situation to handle.Rumble, rumble...A terrifying tremor echoed through the land. Adrian's fate now hung in the balance. The powers clashed wildly within the sea of blood, making the very world seem on the verge of shattering.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...Wild winds stirred, swirling dust and debris in a chaotic dance. Countless towering trees snapped in half as everything seemed to break apart."Adrian!" Tyron's terrified voice pierced the air.Adrian's figure vanished into the crimson haze, which spread widely, disintegrating everything it touched. At that moment, Adrian's fate was uncertain, and it was hard to imagine how he could survive. The thought of two forces clashing felt impossible."Master!" The Purple Rain Divine Bird was distraught, unsure if Adrian would come out alive. If it hadn’t been for its involvement, perhaps Adrian wouldn’t have faced such danger."You cal
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...The three of them sped away rapidly into the distance, their goal now clear. They had to seize the treasure. Without it, their efforts would be meaningless.As they left, a strange figure cloaked in darkness emerged nearby, leaving a striking impression. This person had flames of soul fire in their eyes, and as they surveyed the chaos around them, a wave of murderous intent flickered in their gaze."Not bad, but heading deeper in is just asking for trouble," the person muttered. The moment the words left their lips, the figure vanished from sight. No one could tell where they had come from or where they had gone.Meanwhile, Adrian and the others raced madly into the distance when Adrian inexplicably turned to look back. He felt a terrifying presence behind him, but when he turned, he found no trace of the figure. A glimmer of surprise flashed in Adrian's eyes, but he was too focused to linger on it.For Adrian, if someone was looking for trouble, he would
The three of them sped forward rapidly, quickly arriving at the center of the secret realm.Sending the center was far more terrifying than the periphery area, the Purple Rain Divine Bird became alert. "It’s dangerous here in the center, Master," it cautioned. "We should proceed slowly. Although it appears peaceful, who knows how many ferocious beasts are lurking in the shadows?"Adrian coldly scanned the surroundings and nodded in agreement. "That’s indeed the case." His gaze shifted into the distance, where he spotted a river beside a towering mountain. A palpable aura emanated from the mountain, triggering his senses. "This mountain is unusual."Puzzled, the Purple Rain Divine Bird asked, "Master, what do you see in the mountain? It doesn’t seem unusual to me."Unable to perceive the mountain's oddity, the bird listened as Adrian explained, "This mountain possesses the momentum of a dragon. It definitely conceals something extraordinary beneath the ground. Perhaps even essence s
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
After saying that, Adrian left Xander Manor with his mother and sister.There was no reason for him to stay any longer.***Once they left, Cecelia said, “He thinks he’s so important after having been in the army for only seven years? He thinks he can tear down our family? What a joke.”Everyone burst out laughing.“Wilfred, can you find out when the legate will be arriving?” Harold put the matter aside and asked his son.“Yes, Father.” Wilfred nodded, then quickly called the person who had contacted him earlier.The Xanders started getting ready. The women put on makeup so they could present their best selves to the legate.After some time, Wildred turned to his father awkwardly. “Father, they said that he was here and just left.”“What?” Harold was worried.He came and left? Why?He turned to look at them and anxiously asked, “Did you see anyone come in?”“No one else other than Adrian.” Everyone shrugged.Harold took a deep breath. Did he miss his chance for a big break?
