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
The two forces clashed in a devastating collision, violently pushing the Human Ghoul back once again. “Don’t think that getting bigger makes you invincible,” Adrian taunted.In the blink of an eye, Adrian appeared behind the ghoul. With a swift motion, the flames in his hand expanded, engulfing the creature entirely. The ghoul struggled madly within the inferno, but the fire burned mercilessly.Bellowing in fury, the Human Ghoul’s monstrous strength shook the air, causing the cave to tremble as if it would collapse under sheer force.But Adrian remained unfazed. Smiling coldly, he said, “Now you understand pain, don’t you? How pathetic."Tyron watched in fear as his heart raced, while the Violet Rain Bird trembled involuntarily.In the distance, an ominous presence began to approach, its aura so overwhelming that even Adrian could sense its strength from afar. “Another monster coming to kill me? Fine, let’s see who gets to walk away,” he said icily.Adrian moved swiftly, launch
The trio sped away, sensing a powerful being approaching from behind at incredible speed. They had no idea what the pursuer's intentions were, but if they harbored ill will, all of them could perish here.As the trio fled, a mysterious figure halted mid-air where they had just been. "Not bad. He managed to kill a Human Ghoul. Impressive. But such talent belongs to me now," the figure muttered before vanishing mysteriously. In the next moment, they reappeared a hundred meters away.Meanwhile, Adrian and his companions entered a cave. “What’s going on? Who is that person, and why are they chasing us so relentlessly?” Adrian wondered aloud.They couldn’t recall offending anyone with such power, and the situation didn’t make sense no matter how much they thought about it.Tyron, equally puzzled, echoed Adrian’s confusion. "Who could it be? We haven’t crossed paths with anyone like this."“Maybe it’s not about grudges. Perhaps this person simply wants to kill you,” the Violet Rain Bird
"Keep moving forward!" Adrian urged as they reached a three-way fork. He paused briefly, then laughed. "Well, well, another fork in the road. This could work to our advantage."After examining the new tunnels, Adrian quickly pulled out two items from his pouch. He scattered the same substance at each of the three openings, creating illusions to mislead their pursuer and buy them more time."Are you sure about this, Adrian? Can't he still track our energy and figure out which tunnel we took?" Tyron asked, concern etched on his face.With a reassuring smile, Adrian replied, "No worries."He began weaving a series of complex formations, sending waves of energy that cloaked the entrances in a deceptive mist. The intricate web made it nearly impossible to discern which tunnel they had entered.Tyron watched in astonishment as the three tunnel entrances now appeared identical, obscured by the formations. It was impossible to tell what lay beyond them.Adrian chose the rightmost tunnel
Everything felt shrouded in mystery as the three of them raced forward. They knew that any hesitation could likely lead to their demise. Facing a Divine immortal was no trivial matter. Even though Adrian had the audacity to confront the enemy head-on, the gap in strength was too vast. For now, retreat was their best option.“No time to overthink! Just keep going!” Adrian roared, his eyes burning with frustration. He wanted to fight back, but he knew it was impossible given the current disparity in power.As the trio pressed onward, a terrifying aura suddenly loomed ahead. Another Divine immortal stood in their path, and the trio froze.Adrian’s anger flared. "What’s going on? How are we so unlucky today?"Tyron looked equally grim. They had suspected there might be other powerful beings nearby, but this situation felt unbearable. It was as if there was no way out.Adrian narrowed his eyes. "Since they want to chase us, let’s make our stand here."Tyron's face hardened in agreemen
Sneering coldly, Adrian declared, "Just go, guys. There’s no way this old fool has what it takes to kill me."Boom! As Adrian clashed with the old man, he ordered Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird to run ahead while he held off the old man. Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird hesitated, wanting to step in and help, but they both knew that a Divine immortal was far beyond their capabilities. Even Adrian himself wasn't guaranteed to stand a chance against him. Rushing in would be nothing short of suicidal."Hahaha! Trying to save your companions, you fool? You’ll be dead soon, and they’ll follow right after!" the old man mocked coldly.Adrian's expression turned icy. He wanted nothing more than to kill the old man, but his strength simply wouldn’t allow it.Bam!With a heavy blow, Adrian was sent flying. Pain coursed through his body as he tasted blood. He spat out a mouthful and felt his face pale. Despite the blood trickling down his chin, he glared at the old man with a mix of anger an
Adrian refused to surrender. He faced the old man, knowing that giving in would only lead to his death. With this thought in mind, he charged at the old man, but he was no match for the latter. A powerful wave of energy struck Adrian, sending him flying against the cave wall. Spurt!Blood spilled from Adrian’s mouth as the old man looked at him with a cold smile. "Fight me? How ridiculous. Do you even know who I am?" the old man said."I don’t care who you are! It’s either your death or mine today!" Adrian roared, charging again.The old man shook his head in disappointment as he watched Adrian's reckless attack. To him, Adrian's actions were laughable. Just when it seemed Adrian would strike, he suddenly turned and sprinted away. "Catch me if you can!" Adrian shouted as he dashed into the distance at lightning speed. The old man burst into laughter. "Haha, how amusing! A 'chosen one' who knows nothing but how to run. It’s truly disappointing. But you’ve crossed me today. Do
What had initially appeared to be a dense swarm of beasts now seemed far less daunting.Adrian smiled slightly, satisfied. This was the result he had hoped for.At that moment, the Soul Devouring Sword glowed even more intensely.Adrian smiled faintly again. The sword was growing stronger, and that worked in his favor.He let out a cold chuckle. "Now, let's see what can stop me."As his words fell, a powerful, terrifying roar reverberated in the distance.A violent sound, full of rage, tore through the air. It seemed an even more fearsome beast was approaching.Adrian's eyes gleamed coldly as he sensed the change.From the distant horizon, a massive creature emerged from the void.It was an ancient beast—a bird, to be precise.Adrian's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected it to be an ancient beast, let alone one as powerful as the Red Feather Divine Bird.The bird's greatest strength lay in its wings, forged from mystic iron. A single blow from those wings could infl
As soon as Adrian spoke, he made his move. The terrifying beast at the peak of the Void Stage posed a serious challenge.Adrian, currently an intermediate Void Stage warrion, faced a formidable opponent in the beast's immense size and power.Without any command from Adrian, the Soul Devouring Sword charged into the swarm of beasts, cutting down everything in its path with ruthless ferocity.Each time Adrian killed a beast, the sword rapidly consumed its blood and soul energy.In the blink of an eye, Adrian and his sword wreaked havoc across the battlefield, showing no signs of slowing down.Despite the bloodthirsty beasts surrounding him, Adrian remained calm.His fierce struggle only intensified their madness, and they relentlessly tried to kill him. It was clear they wouldn't stop until Adrian was destroyed.The battle had become frenzied.Adrian's movements grew faster and fiercer, while the air around him shook violently, as if the world itself quaked under the battle's int
Adrian was acutely aware of his surroundings, but his focus remained on recovering his strength. He couldn't afford to be distracted by what was happening outside.This moment was critical for Adrian. He had to regain his power quickly. In a place like this, any weakness would likely lead to his death.Even the strongest men couldn't survive waves of demonic beasts without their full strength.As the saying went, "A war of attrition is the key to victory."Adrian understood this better than ever.Thousands of beasts seemed to be charging at him, but he didn't waste time thinking about it. His priority was to restore his strength and confront these terrifying creatures.The air crackled with violent energy as a massive beast charged at him.This creature, at the peak of the Void Stage, exuded an aura of pure terror.Adrian could feel his power slowly returning as he rose to his feet. These beasts were powerful, but he was not afraid.The giant beast struck Adrian's barrier with
Adrian's speed remained astonishing. He unleashed his strength again while the Holy Son reached the thirtieth step below him. Despite the progress, the gap between them was still immense. The Holy Son hadn't expected Adrian to catch up so quickly. By now, Adrian had already reached the seventieth step. In an instant, Adrian's power surged, and his body radiated a brilliant glow. A golden barrier enveloped him, exuding an intimidating aura that discouraged anyone from approaching. For the Holy Son, this was a bitter humiliation. Adrian's rise felt like a slap in the face.Not long ago, he had mocked Adrian as insignificant, but now it seemed clear who truly deserved that label. Rage consumed him. Adrian surged up to the seventy-fifth step. Suddenly, the sensation of space shifting gripped him—he was about to enter a new realm. In a flash, he found himself in a vast grassland. Scanning his surroundings with sharp, alert eyes, he couldn't discern his location but recognize
This scene left Andy speechless. The stairs were undeniably terrifying, yet Adrian ascended them with ease.Andy had started the climb first but now found himself near the back.Kurt had initially lingered, merely observing.When he finally began his ascent, his strength made the climb seem effortless.His primary duty was to protect the Holy Son, so he advanced swiftly and without hesitation. He knew that if he failed and something happened to the Holy Son, responsibility would rest squarely on his shoulders.Meanwhile, Adrian dashed at an astonishing speed, rapidly closing the distance between himself and Finnian.Finnian's eyes widened with surprise as he watched Adrian. "What kind of person are you, kid? With such a powerful physique... your future promises to be extraordinary."Adrian chuckled modestly. "You're too kind. My abilities are hardly worth mentioning."He saw no reason to boast, knowing Finnian wasn't an ordinary figure. If Finnian unleashed his true power, Adri
Adrian's energy surged as the body-strengthening methods activated within him. His nerves tightened, and his blood pulsed with vitality, every cell brimming with excitement.As the divine lightning descended, Adrian's body transformed into a blazing furnace.Crimson lightning poured into him, tempering and forging his form like molten steel in a smith's forge.Terrifying bolts struck him repeatedly, yet his eyes gleamed with exhilaration rather than fear.Finnian watched in stunned disbelief. "How is this possible? Could this guy truly be one of the legendary immortals?"Memories surfaced in Finnian's mind. He had witnessed such power before—but only in a bygone era. He never imagined he would see it again.Long ago, he had encountered a prodigy with the Thunder God Physique, someone capable of absorbing divine lightning without harm. Instead, the lightning strengthened their body, transforming them into a near-unstoppable force.Now, Adrian exhibited the same phenomenon.Obliv
Adrian leaped lightly, and 90,000 units of force pressed down on his body. He was momentarily stunned but, to his surprise, found he could withstand it.At his previous strength, such immense gravitational pressure would have been insurmountable. While he could now endure it, the ease with which he managed was entirely unexpected.Perplexed, Adrian pondered whether the crimson divine lightning that had fused with his body was the source of his newfound resilience. The possibility left him in awe.Was the crimson lightning truly that formidable?He struggled to comprehend it but couldn't suppress a surge of joy. Misfortune seemed to have turned into fortune.If the lightning was truly this beneficial, he wouldn't mind being struck a few more times. Surely, his body would grow even stronger.With renewed determination, Adrian took another step forward.Below, Andy and the others watched, speechless.To them, Adrian hardly seemed human. His effortless ascent and composed demeanor
The crimson divine lightning was an ancient, destructive force, capable of annihilating a person instantly, reducing both body and soul to nothingness.Despite this peril, Adrian stood unfazed, exuding an almost defiant calm that struck onlookers as recklessly suicidal.A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he dismissed Andy's warning.Once Adrian made a decision, others' opinions became meaningless. What mattered was whether his actions aligned with his expectations.Within him, energy began to circulate.The violent crackle of lightning roared through the sky, sending a bone-chilling resonance across the land.Many trembled at the ominous sound.Adrian's expression hardened as his body emitted faint crackling sounds.The crimson lightning's devastating power surged through him, making every cell in his body tremble under its crushing intensity.Yet, despite the searing pain, a glimmer of satisfaction lit his eyes. He knew exactly what needed to be done.Adrian l
Adrian's face darkened.Spatial fragments hurtling toward him radiated lethal force. On closer inspection, each shard bristled with deadly intent.Terrifying energies erupted, shaking the void as if it might collapse entirely.Below, the Holy Son observed with a cold smirk. "Hahaha! Let's see how you survive this. With the gravitational force on you now exceeding 80,000 units, you're nothing but an overconfident ant."Adrian shot him an icy glance. "Oh? Then you're not even on par with an ant."The Holy Son trembled with fury. He burned with the urge to strike Adrian down.Adrian had become both his greatest humiliation and the demon haunting his heart. Unless he destroyed Adrian, his future ambitions would remain stifled.In the distance, Kurt watched grimly. He hadn't expected Adrian to grow so formidable or to trigger such pivotal events.Adrian's suppression of the Holy Son only confirmed the man's long-held suspicion: Adrian was no ordinary immortal.Now that Adrian had p
