The terrifying scene left Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird stunned. They struggled to comprehend what was happening. Adrian's strength was simply overwhelming.Boom! Boom! Boom!The immense power shattered everything in its path. The air and ground shook. The stone gate, now wide open, revealed a sealed, ancient force that surged out, both terrifying and awe-inspiring. It was impossible to fathom the magnitude of the situation.Adrian unleashed another wave of energy, its force shaking the air and enveloping Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird in a protective barrier. Both were left shaken, their eyes wide with fear. The power emanating from Adrian felt akin to that of a Divine.The sheer terror of the moment was indescribable. Anyone else who had dared to open the stone gate without understanding the power within would have been killed instantly by the force unleashed.As the gate opened further, thick black fog billowed out, so dense that it obscured everything before them. The sight w
Adrian's eyes blazed with a cold, murderous intent. Fear was absent and his strength was formidable. He was capable of defeating opponents even above his level.From the fog came eerie, unsettling cries, as if something sinister lurked within."What the...?" Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were both stunned, struggling to comprehend the horrifying sound. There was clearly a terrifying presence in the black mist. Something so dreadful that they couldn’t believe it, even if their lives depended on it.A deep rumble suddenly echoed, its intensity a clear warning that this was no ordinary place. Overcoming this danger would be no simple task."Stay behind me and don't stray," Adrian ordered, his tone sharp. He knew the severity of the threat and that only his strength could guide them through it. In the Divine Stage, his power far exceeded that of ordinary experts."Understood. We'll be relying on you," the two replied, resigned to depending on Adrian's strength. Without him, they knew
A fierce wind surged, and in an instant, a terrifyingly massive creature charged forward. The trio were taken aback by the sight.The Violet Rain Bird's eyes widened in shock as its terrifying tentacles spread out. The creature was at the Astral Perfection Stage, radiating an overwhelming presence that made it utterly fearsome.Adrian's expression darkened, while Tyron was filled with disbelief. Neither had expected such a monstrous threat to appear so suddenly from the black mist.For Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird, it was a moment of pure horror. They had thought the chaos would subside, but in an instant, something even more terrifying emerged.The monstrous beast charged wildly. In the next moment, it hurled toward Adrian.Unfazed, Adrian coldly declared, "Damn beast! You don't know when to quit. Leave now, and I might spare you!" With a wave, he sent the creature staggering backward.Boom!A deafening explosion echoed, leaving Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird in shock.They
Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird stood helpless, unable to assist Adrian. His power was far beyond anything they could hope to contend with. They could only watch from a distance, frozen in place, not daring to make a single move.Boom!The earth and sky shook, and a dreadful sound reverberated through the air. At that moment, Adrian appeared more powerful than ever.The massive beast in the distance was flung away by Adrian’s strike, leaving everyone stunned and speechless.With an icy expression, Adrian declared, "Since you seek death, then go to hell!"The sword essence in his hand coiled in the air like a celestial net, crashing fiercely toward the beast. Before it could react, the creature was ensnared by the force and violently hurled away.The beast became enraged and tried to fight back, but Adrian’s power surged too quickly, giving it no chance to resist.Bang! Bang! Bang!The creature’s skin ruptured, and it writhed in agony. It had never expected Adrian—so young in app
Adrian’s expression was solemn as he said, “Tyron, you can’t absorb this beast’s inner core. It’s far too powerful. Give it to the Violet Rain Bird. It needs this to strengthen itself.”The Violet Rain Bird froze in shock, not expecting such generosity. Adrian, who had every right to claim the core for himself, was offering it to the bird instead.Filled with disbelief, the Violet Rain Bird was taken aback. It had always considered itself just a mount, yet here it was, receiving a gift as though it were Adrian’s equal. Overwhelmed, the bird immediately protested, “Master, I can’t accept this. You killed the beast. You should be the one to take its core.”“This Astral Stage inner core will benefit you more,” Adrian replied calmly.The Violet Rain Bird knew how valuable the core was and understood the opportunity Adrian was offering. Most people wouldn’t hesitate to take such a treasure for themselves.But Adrian simply smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll find other ways to enhance
Ahead lay a long, seemingly endless road shrouded in black mist. As they moved forward, Adrian's expression turned grim. Even as a Divine, he found the mist troublesome.He had been using his power to protect the three of them from immediate danger, but the uncertainty of when it would end was frustrating. Adrian was not one to accept the status quo. He preferred to confront obstacles directly. However, there were no threats to face, only an unsettling stillness.Feeling trapped was intolerable for Adrian. With that thought, a glint of killing intent flashed through his eyes. “If you want to kill me, don’t even think about it,” he said, his expression darkening.He then looked into the void and turned to the others beside him. “Are you afraid? I plan to break through the sky, though I’m unsure of its condition.”Adrian’s words surprised both of them, and Tyron quickly responded, “Don’t worry, Adrian. We’ll follow you.” His gaze was sharp and fierce. He was determined to stay with A
They knew that if they weren't careful, the terrifying attacks ahead could blast them away.Adrian frowned as he quickly moved forward, unwilling to linger. He led them toward the black mist, and in an instant, the violent winds and hail vanished. It was incredibly strange. Adrian grimaced. “This place might very well be another formation.”Glaring at their surroundings with a frosty expression, he realized that the scene they had just witnessed was no ordinary occurrence. They were likely trapped in a massive formation. To escape, he would need to break the formation, but it wouldn’t be as easy as he had imagined.Adrian's expression grew grave. He understood that the formation needed to be shattered. Otherwise, there was no way for them to leave.Tyron and the others sensed the peril they were in, unaware of the dangers that lay ahead. Continuing forward without caution could lead them into something truly frightening. The two felt somewhat embarrassed by Adrian's constant prot
“It’s fine. I can handle this alone. The formation here is somewhat concealed, with the black mist serving as its cover. I want to see what’s really behind it,” Adrian said, his expression set.Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird exchanged cautious glances at the black mist ahead. They didn’t fully understand the situation, but they knew it was serious.Adrian felt a surge of astonishment. When he expressed confidence, it meant he was certain of himself. For now, they could only listen quietly.As he looked around, a violent force surged from his hands, transforming into terrifying runes that blasted outward. He led the two of them forward, stopping after a while to unleash a series of runes into the surroundings. Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were astonished, unsure of what Adrian was doing. The power felt reckless as if it aimed to obliterate everything around them.Adrian’s expression remained cold, and he offered no explanation. His focus was on how to break this formation. How lon
The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han
Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b
At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv
The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed
Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev
The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his
Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co
Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused
"What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
