A chilling aura spread through the surroundings as if icy energy were seeping into the air. It was odd, given how hot it had been outside. This sharp contrast heightened Adrian's sense of caution.Turning to Tyron, Adrian remarked, “Something’s wrong. It’s blazing outside but freezing here. We need to be careful.”Tyron knew Adrian wasn’t exaggerating and nodded in agreement.Suddenly, a rumble echoed ahead. Adrian quickly turned and saw massive boulders rolling uncontrollably toward a small opening. If they didn’t move fast, the entrance would soon be sealed.Without hesitation, Adrian rushed forward, pulling his companions along. In a blur of speed, the three barely squeezed through the gap just as the boulders crashed down, sealing the entrance behind them. They glanced back, shaken by their narrow escape.Adrian remained stoic, his expression nonchalant. His instincts were right. Something was off about this cave. They had to stay alert.Tyron, sensing the danger, scanned the
Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were both taken aback. They hadn’t anticipated that there would be no reaction after Adrian unleashed his energy into the passageways. Clearly, something unusual was happening.With a serious tone, Tyron asked, "There are surely hidden dangers, but which path should we follow?"Suddenly, the Violet Rain Bird's eyes glowed green. "Master, let me try something. My light can reach a hundred meters into the tunnel. It might help us." The light from its eyes was no ordinary glow.Adrian nodded. "Go ahead and try."The Violet Rain Bird positioned itself in front and shot beams of green light from its pupils. The light zipped through the tunnel, twisting and winding as it advanced at an incredible speed. Adrian’s eyes narrowed, sensing that something in the middle tunnel had blocked the bird's light, while the other two tunnels remained eerily still. It was clear that something was hiding in the middle tunnel.Suddenly, a monstrous roar echoed from within t
The trio knew there was no turning back now. At this point, retreat seemed pointless. Without hesitation, they pressed forward swiftly. Gusts of wind howled through the cave, an eerie phenomenon in such a confined space. Adrian's gaze turned cold as he muttered, "I refuse to believe there's no way out of here."Tyron stood beside him, his expression tense. He could tell Adrian was starting to lose patience.The trio moved deeper into the cave at breakneck speed when the sharp sound of something slicing through the air caught their attention. It was a signal that danger was near.Adrian's sharp eyes caught sight of the threat—venomous needles flying toward them. Yet, he remained unfazed. With a roar, he challenged, "Who’s hiding in the shadows? Show yourself!"With a swift motion, Adrian deflected the needles, sending waves of energy rippling violently through the cave. Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird stayed silent, watching with curiosity and caution. They too wondered what lay ah
"You're dead!" Adrian roared, his fist glowing with golden light.In a flash, he launched a punch at the bat with terrifying speed. The bat barely had time to react before the golden fist slammed into it, hurling the creature into the distance.As the bat flew backward, it unleashed a swarm of venomous needles, forming a deadly web aimed at Adrian. The latter’s expression remained icy, eyes blazing with fury, as his body was enveloped in a protective blue aura."You think your body can compare to mine? I’m far stronger than you." Adrian sneered.The needles bounced off Adrian, ricocheting against the cave walls and sending chunks of rock tumbling down. Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were left speechless. They hadn’t expected Adrian to emerge completely unscathed, let alone grow stronger as the battle intensified. His power seemed unstoppable, the violent energy he unleashed shaking the cave to its core."Heavenly Body Training Art!" Adrian's voice echoed through the cavern.A str
The bat flapped its enormous black wings, creating an imposing barrier that made others hesitate. But for Adrian, it was different. His sole focus was to annihilate the creature before him, and he pressed on relentlessly.With a punch in one hand and sword energy in the other, he launched a direct attack at the bat. The sword energy pierced straight into the bat's skull, and in the next instant, his fist landed heavily on its massive body. The bat struggled to escape Adrian's lethal onslaught, but it was too late."Die!" Adrian shouted as he shattered the bat's soul.Nearby, the Violet Rain Bird was left utterly stunned. The bat was at the late Astral Stage, yet Adrian had defeated it effortlessly.“Noooo!” the bat roared in anguish as it crashed to the ground.Seizing the opportunity, Adrian swiftly sliced into the bat and extracted its inner core. He tossed the core to Tyron, saying, “Take this. Both of us are stronger than you, and the core isn't of much use to us."Tyron caug
Adrian’s expression turned cold as he declared, “No matter how strong the force, it won't stop my advance.” Standing beside him, Tyron said, “I’ll follow you wherever you go, Adrian.” His sharp gaze was filled with determination. In his mind, Adrian was his lucky star.Adrian smiled and lightly patted Tyron on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”Nearby, the Violet Rain Bird shared Tyron’s sentiment but chose to remain silent. The trio continued forward at a steady pace.Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed, sending chills down Tyron’s spine. The ground shook, and even Adrian found himself momentarily taken aback. Just then, a dark figure appeared ahead.“What is that?” Adrian asked, firing a surge of energy from his hand.The collision was intense, erupting in an instant. Before Adrian could react, a strange figure struck him.“What is this?” Adrian exclaimed, startled. He couldn’t identify what had collided with him. The creature resembled neither a human nor a g
A fierce wind swept through as Adrian punched the Human Ghoul, forcing it to retreat step by step. The creature's pupils burned with black flames, which soon shifted to purple. The Violet Rain Bird cried out, "Watch out! The Human Ghoul is evolving! Be careful, Master Adrian!"The bird's alarm revealed its understanding of the situation, and Adrian's expression grew colder. "Got it!" he replied."Can you handle it, Adrian? Do you need our help?" Tyron asked, his expression grim.The Violet Rain Bird's large eyes glinted with concern as it said, "Master Adrian should be fine, but we must stay vigilant. There could be stronger beings nearby." As they ventured deeper into the secret realm, the creatures they encountered grew more powerful. One wrong move could cost them their lives.Boom!The cave trembled as Adrian and the Human Ghoul clashed again. Adrian aimed to destroy the creature's skull with his relentless attacks.Suddenly, Tyron shouted, "Wait, Adrian! That’s not its w
Adrian's gaze turned icy as he sneered. “It seems you can think after all. That’s impressive. But with all your dark arts, what difference does it make? I’ll crush you just the same.”Enraged, flames ignited in Adrian's hand, burning brightly as if fueled by an otherworldly force. With a swift motion, he unleashed the fire toward the ghastly creature before him.The Human Ghoul glared back at Adrian, perceiving the latter’s actions as an insult. It longed for a fight, ready to battle for hundreds of rounds.Adrian smirked coldly. “You want a fight? Then bring it on!”Determined to show the ghoul his true strength, Adrian surrounded himself with fire and struck the creature's body, sending flames cascading around it. The ghoul howled in agony, its massive frame trembling as the flames seared its skin. Its roars echoed through the cave, but no matter how it screamed, it was helpless against Adrian’s relentless assault. The fire continued to burn, transforming the ghoul into a horrify
