A terrifying tremor emanated from the distance, and brilliant spiritual light shot up into the sky. An incredible force shook the air, creating an astonishing sight. Waves of power broke through the heavens, resonating in the skies above, echoing the presence of this force.The two watched in shock, unsure of what was happening. However, Adrian’s terrifying strength was not a new revelation. They had grown accustomed to it by now.Adrian’s expression turned cold. “Let’s go take a look. If that extraordinary secret treasure appears, we should be able to collect it now. After waiting here for so long, we shouldn’t let our patience go to waste.”Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were slightly stunned. They couldn’t tell if Adrian was serious. If it really was a secret treasure, then their entry here would not have been in vain.The trio sped forward and soon reached the place where the mountains trembled. In front of them, a mountain radiated with colorful light, as if seven-colored clou
This place was truly remarkable. Tyron was astonished, sensing a terrifying power vibrating within. A single moment of distraction could result in disaster.Adrian’s gaze was cold. "This place is far from simple. We need to be cautious. One wrong move, and we could fall into an abyss with no way back,” he warned his companions.Adrian had already formed a plan in his mind. Naturally cautious, he understood the gravity of their situation. Every step had to be calculated, as any unforeseen incident could have dire consequences.Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were stunned, unsure of how to proceed. But Adrian, with a steely expression, remained determined."No matter how dangerous, I have to go in. If this really is a sealed space, it might hold the key to breaking through,” he said.His words startled the others, as they knew Adrian wasn’t one to speak carelessly.“Let’s begin,” Adrian said coldly, ready to act.At his command, the others charged forward. With a loud boom, the rad
The voice was unapologetic and brazen. Hearing it, Adrian’s frown deepened. His suspicions had been right. An extraordinary presence was lurking in the shadows. The radiant light around them turned into a fiery red glow, and in an instant, it enveloped Adrian.Adrian was taken aback. He hadn’t expected things to escalate this way. What was this presence hiding in the darkness? Its power was utterly terrifying.Both Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird could feel its oppressive energy, leaving them momentarily breathless. Sensing their struggle, Adrian quickly waved his hand, releasing a surge of violent energy that gave them some relief, though only just.“There’s definitely something terrifying hidden in the shadows,” Tyron said, sounding helpless.Adrian nodded grimly. “Yes. Whatever it is, it’s incredibly powerful. We need to be even more cautious.”Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were stunned. They hadn’t realized how easily they had walked into another trap. The situation was growin
To Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird, the voice of the terrifying presence in the shadows was astonishingly chilling.Adrian, though composed, understood that if the opponent dared to speak so boldly, it must have a certain level of confidence. If he wanted to defeat this entity, it would likely require more than ordinary means.With a cold expression, Adrian stepped forward, positioning himself as a shield for the others. “Cowardly creature hiding in the shadows,” he said icily, “if you have any skills, come out and show yourself.” His voice boomed, sharp and resolute. This hidden presence was no more than an ant to him.The entity in the shadows, hearing Adrian’s challenge, sneered. “What are you? How dare you speak to me like that? You’re the real trash here. You won’t live much longer, kid. Don’t worry, I’ll savor every piece of you. As for those two burdens beside you, carrying them must be exhausting.” Its voice dripped with arrogance.It was clear the creature had some awarenes
The powerful entity in the shadows seethed with fury. From the blood-red mist emerged terrifying figures, rushing out one after another.These things were puppets. Some were demon beasts, while others were humans. All of them shared a common feature: they were mere skeletons. These skeletons lacked any soul power, their eyes glowing with chilling killing intent.The sight was astonishing. It was hard to fathom how many innocent beings the evil spirit had slain. Even more unimaginable was the sheer number of puppets it controlled, their strength not to be underestimated.Adrian's expression turned icy. “Since you want to play, I’ll turn them to ashes.”A flame ignited in his hand. The two beside him looked on in horror, sensing the terrifying power of the fire. They had witnessed its might before, and this was no ordinary flame. Once it ignited, the consequences would be catastrophic.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The flames surged forward, instantly engulfing the massive puppets before
The evil spirit was furious beyond measure, its rage boiling at Adrian’s audacity. To the spirit, Adrian was nothing more than a brash young lad, overconfident and reckless. Despite being at the Divine Stage, the spirit scoffed at the notion that Adrian could pose a serious threat, especially since he had likely just made his breakthrough. The evil spirit's anger only intensified as it deemed Adrian's behavior intolerable.In truth, Adrian had just achieved his breakthrough, and the concept of "compromise" was foreign to him. To him, yielding was out of the question. All he felt was an unyielding resolve.“Since you’re seeking death, let me show you my power!” the evil spirit roared, its form swelling with an immense, terrifying aura.But Adrian had no doubts about his strength. No matter how fearsome this evil spirit appeared, he remained unfazed.“Die!” Adrian shouted, unleashing a terrifying power that was astonishing to behold. His energy seemed to pierce the sky itself.Boom!
Tyron stood frozen in shock, unable to believe what he was witnessing.Boom!The massive Violet Rain Bird was sent flying through the air.Adrian's gaze grew solemn as he spat out, "Damn it!"From the shadows, a sinister voice said, "Heh, did you really think that dealing with a Divine was that simple? Do you think you're something special? Pathetic insect. I will now show you the consequences of defying me."The malevolent entity's voice dripped with contempt. It was clearly looking down on Adrian. To it, Adrian was nothing more than a fool rushing headlong toward his doom.Adrian's expression grew even frostier. He was well aware that this hidden presence was a terrifying foe, especially with the monstrous beasts it had summoned. But even in the face of such overwhelming odds, Adrian refused to back down. A fierce and terrifying energy radiated from him, filling the air with a sense of unimaginable power."If you want to fight, then let’s do it! I’ll annihilate everything in m
"It's impossible. How are you this powerful?" The evil spirit's voice trembled in shock as it watched the scene unfold.Tyron and the Violet Rain Divine Bird were equally speechless. Adrian's sheer strength left them at a loss for words.With his expression unchanging, Adrian shot an icy glare at the enormous Divine beast, unleashing a powerful surge of energy as he charged forward. The beast was hurled through the air, crashing violently into the distance. This sent shockwaves across the battlefield."Hmph, pathetic." Adrian scoffed.The evil spirit was filled with disbelief at Adrian's strength. In mere moments, he had destroyed both of its Divine puppets. They were supposed to be invincible, yet Adrian obliterated them with ease."Any other tricks?" Adrian asked, his voice steady. "Show me everything you’ve got."Furious, the evil spirit trembled at the bold challenge. "I’ll make you beg for death!" it roared, as blood-red mist and thick black fog swirled ominously around them
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
