The old man’s smugness grew. "Stop resisting. All your efforts are pointless. Let me show you how to truly control your body," he taunted.With those words, the old man unleashed a dark power from his hand. The black energy surged forward, making Adrian’s golden sea of consciousness tremble.Adrian felt his soul power strengthen slightly, a sensation that surprised him. He had never noticed this golden power before. Reaching the depths of his own consciousness, he was astounded by what he witnessed, uncertain of what was happening within his soul."I’ll never submit to you, you old geezer!" Adrian growled through gritted teeth. With clenched fists, he charged forward, determined to destroy the old man, even in this soul state.Adrian refused to compromise. But to the old man, the former’s resistance was nothing more than a futile struggle."Ignorant ant!" The old man scoffed, waving his hand lazily, and a terrifying force rippled through the air.Boom!The impact hit hard, and A
"You old geezer!" Adrian roared, his body trembling with fury.Even though he was in a soul state, the pain was excruciating, piercing through him like a physical wound. It felt as if his real body was convulsing, overwhelmed by the terrifying power. The sheer dread of it was suffocating.Adrian was at a loss for words as violent forces surged and shook the air and ground, creating a nightmarish scene. His expression remained cold, despite the overwhelming horror of the situation. Enduring such power was a nearly impossible feat.In a fit of rage, he shouted, "Go to hell!"The old man, still gripping Adrian tightly, sneered. "Now, the real game begins."In the next moment, the old man opened his enormous mouth, lunging at Adrian like a ravenous beast. His power was monstrous, neither human nor animal, and it made Adrian’s soul tremble uncontrollably. Was this the end for him?Adrian’s face turned pale. He didn’t know if this was truly his final moment, but he had no strength left
The boundless power of heaven and earth surged toward Adrian, filling him with an overwhelming sense of comfort. The sensation was indescribably pleasurable."This is incredible!" he exclaimed in ecstasy.The old man erupted in a furious roar. "Stop pretending! Die, boy!"He was infuriated. Sensing that something unexpected might happen, he resolved to unleash all his strength to eliminate Adrian.But Adrian refused to surrender. This was his moment to cling to any hope of survival.He closed his eyes, and in an instant, opened them again. A flash of golden light shot through his gaze, illuminating his sea of consciousness.In that brief moment, the old man felt Adrian slip from his grasp. "How is this possible? How did your soul power suddenly grow so strong? This can't be!" The old man was in disbelief as Adrian's strength transformed before his eyes. But whether he accepted it or not, the reality was undeniable.Adrian's voice turned cold. "Old geezer, did you really think
The old man became paralyzed and was sent flying by an overwhelming force, looking pitiful and miserable. This situation was utterly devastating for him."How is this possible? This power has already reached the Divine Stage!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.Despite the old man’s shock, Adrian’s gaze remained icy cold. "Can’t believe it? Did you really think I was weaker than you, old bastard?" he roared, anger boiling within him. His eyes filled with cold intent as he vowed to crush everything before him.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...The sea of consciousness trembled violently again, radiating a terrifying aura. Adrian didn’t understand why his soul power had erupted with such strength, but there was no time to dwell on it. His only goal was to obliterate the old man, grinding him into dust.The old man’s soul power was formidable, but since he sought to devour Adrian, it was time for Adrian to devour him instead. Adrian’s mind raced as his soul power surged wildly, shak
To the old man's shock, he felt so heavily suppressed that it was as if he had stepped into the sea of consciousness of an equal. He couldn't comprehend why Adrian's strength had increased so dramatically.What he didn't realize was that Adrian himself couldn't fully understand what was happening, as if it had all been predestined. Adrian vaguely understood that, without the golden sea of consciousness, he would have already become a target for the old man to devour.The old man, still in disbelief, hadn’t fully processed the situation when he was crushed by the overwhelming force of Adrian’s sea of consciousness and forced to his knees.Thud!The old man trembled, his legs shaking uncontrollably as Adrian’s soul power devoured him at an alarming rate."Old bastard, it's time for you to go to hell. Weren’t you so arrogant earlier? Now let me show you my power!" Adrian sneered, forming a sword of spiritual energy in his hand.The sword spanned the heavens, and within his sea of co
Adrian sat cross-legged in the distance, his expression solemn as if he were engaged in something important. Both Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird could feel that his aura was in disarray, though they had no idea what had transpired.The old man's body was nowhere to be seen, but the powerful Violet Rain Bird sensed that he had likely self-destructed. "That old man... He self-destructed!" the bird exclaimed.Tyron was utterly shocked. "How is that possible? A Divine self-destructed?" He glanced around, fear flickering in his eyes."Indeed, it seems even the old man resorted to self-destruction. Now only Master Adrian remains. We don’t know if he managed to kill the old man or not," the Violet Rain Bird said, still puzzled."The old man self-destructed, but did he really fall to Adrian?" Tyron's face reflected doubt and shock.Meanwhile, the Violet Rain Bird voiced its concern. "Although the Divine self-destructed, his soul power still lingers in this world. If Adrian wants to truly
With these thoughts in mind, Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird braced themselves for the worst. Suddenly, Adrian opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed within them. Seeing this, Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird let out a sigh of relief.Adrian noticed them and, slightly surprised, asked, "What are you two doing here?"He had clearly instructed them to wait at a distance. What would they have done if something dangerous had happened?Tyron smiled and replied, "It’s a relief to see it’s you, Adrian. We were afraid that old bastard had devoured your soul and that you were gone."Adrian was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't expected them to speak as if that were a fact. However, it was true. That had happened inside his mind."That old guy tried to devour me, but I ended up devouring him instead. He wanted to consume my soul, but fortunately, I was stronger," Adrian said, a hint of relief in his voice.Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were shocked. They realized that Adrian had surv
The area behind the stone gate clearly held great significance, and there was a strong possibility that a Divine Stage expert was present.Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird quietly observed Adrian, waiting for his command, both aware that he was deep in thought.After a moment, Adrian’s expression turned cold as he said, “This place is no ordinary location. There’s a chance that a powerful Divine could be here. Do you two still want to go in?”Tyron immediately responded, “Isn’t that a given? We’ve followed you this far, so of course, we’re going in.” His resolve was unwavering.The Violet Rain Bird added with a grin, “Master, as long as I’m with you, I’ve never been afraid of death. Wherever you go, I’ll follow. Let’s get going.”Adrian paused, taken aback by their courage. Looking at them, he said, “Alright then. Since you trust me this much, I’ll be honest. There’s a high chance we’ll encounter something terrifying and powerful inside. One misstep and we could all end up dead. You
