If he could absorb the sword’s power, his strength would increase significantly. Not only that, but he could also absorb the old man's energy.Adrian’s gaze sharpened, but he knew better than to act impulsively. Charging recklessly into the fray could have dir
Boom!The two forces collided with terrifying power, creating a scene that was both frightening and astonishing.The old man’s eyes gleamed coldly. “Undead creature, it’s time for you to descend into hell!” An immense surge of energy erupted from his hand, striking the Human Ghoul.Crack!The Human Ghoul’s right arm was instantly severed. The old man’s power had clearly increased, subtly reaching the intermediate Divine Stage.Adrian, watching from the sidelines, frowned. In such a short time, the old man had become this powerful. If he had faced the old man directly, he’d likely be dead by now.However, with the Human Ghoul holding the old man at bay, Adrian knew the old man’s secret technique wouldn’t last long and that he had to act decisively. If he missed this chance, the old man might turn the tables on him.As Adrian contemplated his next move, the Human Ghoul bared its fangs and lunged at the old man, grabbing and wounding his arm. A wave of toxic energy surged over the
The sword’s soul-devouring effect caused the flames of the Human Ghoul's soul to flicker momentarily, visibly weakening it. Adrian realized this must be the soul-devouring power at work.The old man swung his sword again, aiming directly at the Human Ghoul’s head.Aaaaargh!A piercing scream erupted from the Human Ghoul, echoing through the air. The sound was filled with agony, a clear sign of the Soul Devouring Sword’s terrifying malice.Adrian now fully understood. His gaze sharpened as he looked at the sword, but he knew it wasn’t yet the right time to seize it.The Human Ghoul staggered backward, gasping for breath as its aura weakened. Then, suddenly, its eerie energy surged, signaling an imminent self-destruction.Seeing this, the old man roared, “Damn creature! How dare you!” He desperately activated the Soul Devouring Sword, which glowed with a bloody light, devouring his own blood in the process.Rumble!The old man's face grew pale as the sword consumed more of his po
At this moment, Adrian quietly waited while the old man looked around, feeling reassured.The old man was aware that Adrian had fled ahead with the other two, so he settled down to rest and recover his strength. Already weakened, he knew that if he didn’t restore himself soon, he might face grave danger.The old man valued his life immensely. The higher one’s strength, the more one treasured their existence. At his age, the fear of death only intensified.As the old man sat cross-legged, he laid the Soul Devouring Sword beside him. From a distance, Adrian stared at the sword intently. Its blood-red glow shimmered ominously.Faintly, a wave of evil power radiated from the sword, but to Adrian, it appeared as an extraordinary treasure. If he could obtain this sword, it would significantly enhance his strength.His top priority was to eliminate the old man. He knew the old man had become a target of his vengeance, and he absolutely could not let the old man live. The old man already
Boom!With a loud explosion, the space before them seemed to shatter, and Adrian's expression turned serious. A terrifying power trembled in his hands, surging wildly into the air.

This scene was both astonishing and terrifying. His expression revealed a chilling fury.“Break!” he roared, resisting once more.The surroundings vibrated violently, and everything shattered.Boom!The old man's soul power was forcefully dispelled, and Adrian's power scattered as well, allowing him to move freely again. Adrian's violent strength became uncontrollable as he unleashed it fiercely. Charging forward, he showed no mercy to the old man.The old man, filled with rage, hadn’t expected such ferocity from Adrian. Before he could react, Adrian sent him
Adrian understood that even the slightest carelessness could lead to his soul being consumed by the old man, sealing his fate in death.A terrifying force trembled within him. Despite his power, Adrian felt utterly helpless. In this dire moment, he could rely only on his wits. He remained motionless in his sea of consciousness, paralyzed by the old man’s overwhelming power.The old man's presence fluctuated wildly, accompanied by a chilling laughter that echoed ominously. “Let’s see how you handle this. Now you can taste my might,” he taunted.It was clear the old man was deliberately provoking Adrian, seeking to draw out his anger. Adrian’s expression darkened, realizing this old fool was truly courting death.Filled with rage, Adrian knew he couldn’t expose himself too easily. He had to think carefully about his next move. One misstep could lead to defeat at the hands of this old man.Adrian recognized the gravity of the situation. The old man was as terrifying as he seemed, and
“Die!” The old man unleashed a surge of immense power, striking Adrian with a force that sent him hurtling through the air.Adrian felt his soul weaken and was utterly incapable of contending with the old man's might.Boom!Adrian crashed against the ground, appearing incredibly fragile. The impact left him feeling drained, and his expression turned grim. The old man’s strength was undeniably overwhelming.Within his consciousness, it was as if the old man had become the master. At that moment, Adrian was engulfed by a crushing sense of defeat. The sensation was suffocating.The old man, sensing Adrian's despair, only grew more arrogant. “Hahaha! Do you now realize how formidable I am? If you obediently offer up your soul, I might spare you some unnecessary suffering when I devour you.” His voice dripped with malice. “Kid, those who know their place are the wise. Time to die.”As soon as the words left his mouth, the old man's soul power morphed into a massive blood-colored skull
Adrian found the situation unbearable. He had no idea what was happening, wondering if this really was the end for him. He was using every bit of his strength, yet it was futile. With just a wave of his hand, the old man effortlessly pushed him back.The old man’s face twisted with disdain. "So this is brute strength? Did you actually think you were some kind of genius?" he mocked. "In the face of true power, everything else is just an empty flash. An illusion." The contempt in his eyes made it clear that Adrian was as good as dead.Adrian’s expression turned cold. He understood the reality now. He needed to get stronger. But he felt helpless.
