Boom!The dark beast’s power trembled, unleashing a boundless force into the void as if it intended to shatter everything in its path. At that moment, Adrian was struck by a terrifying wave of energy, the impact fierce and overwhelming.Bang!He was violently thrown back, yet an invisible power erupted from his body, radiating outward in a terrifying display. His expression remained icy cold, and suddenly, his physical strength broke through its limits. Under immense pressure, he experienced a remarkable breakthrough, a sight that was nothing short of extraordinary."Die! Die! Die!" Adrian yelled, his eyes turning blood red.The dark beast was startled. It hadn't expected that, instead of succumbing to the pressure, Adrian's strength would grow even more powerful. This was something the dark beast had not anticipated.However, Adrian was unfazed. "I should thank you for helping me improve my strength," he said calmly, his voice echoing ominously.The dark beast's face twisted in
Adrian surveyed the scene before him, his expression utterly cold. "Satisfied now? Do you see how powerful I am?" The next moment, he unleashed a terrifying blast of energy, his power surging outward with unstoppable force. It was a breathtaking sight, and Adrian's face remained impassive, laced with a hint of killing intent.Bathed in golden light, Adrian’s formidable soul power propelled him upward into the void. The devastating force seemed to shatter everything in its path, and Adrian's icy demeanor deepened."It's time to break everything!" he roared.Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird exchanged astonished glances, a sense of anticipation washing over them. The Violet Rain Bird, in particular, felt a surge of excitement at the display of Adrian’s might.The dark beast, however, showed a flicker of fear in its eyes. It recognized that the situation had turned dire.Crack, crack…The sound of breaking echoed ominously as the black formation shattered.Adrian stood resolute, his
It was as if Adrian were about to shatter the very earth itself. What was most astonishing was that Adrian had easily captured and dragged this dark beast’s soul, which should have been immensely powerful, toward the ground.Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were shocked. They stared at the scene in the void, realizing that the situation had escalated beyond anything they could handle. Adrian had far surpassed their expectations. Even the dark beast, thought to be stronger, could no longer withstand Adrian’s might. It was impossible to measure Adrian by ordinary logic.Boom!The violent force shattered everything in its path. Adrian, his expression cold and resolute, shouted, "Die!" He unleashed a punch that struck directly at the dark beast’s soul."You bastard! How are you this strong?" the dark beast roared in fury. Despite being at the intermediate Divine Stage, it felt overwhelming pain from Adrian’s attack.The waves of power hammered relentlessly against the dark beast’s soul,
"Let me go! You despicable human, let me go!" the dark beast roared, trembling as it desperately sought to end the torment.But Adrian wasn’t about to let it off easily. Just moments ago, the beast had been so arrogant. But now, it was begging for mercy. Worse still, it had previously demanded that Adrian beg for his life.Adrian’s gaze was cold. This creature had chosen to provoke him, and now it could not blame him for being ruthless.A flicker of murderous intent glinted in Adrian’s eyes.The dark beast, panicking, shouted, "You bastard! Let me go, and I’ll show you the way out of here!""You’ve been searching for a way out for so long and haven’t found it. Do you want to be trapped here forever?" Adrian taunted, watching as the beast's massive body trembled, desperately trying to bargain for its life.The beast wanted Adrian to spare it, but the man’s eyes were filled with relentless killing intent."You want me to spare you? Fine, but you’ll have to tell me how to leave. I’
The dark beast roared in anger and frustration. From its perspective, Adrian was utterly despicable for going back on his word.Adrian chuckled lightly. "Don’t say it like that. We're all honest people here. You saying that makes me feel a bit awkward. Besides, I didn’t lie to you, nor did I go back on my word. Everything I said was the truth. But how can I know whether you're telling the truth without verifying it?"Adrian's simple response only fueled the beast's rage. It couldn’t comprehend how Adrian could be so shameless. Yet Adrian seemed convinced that his reasoning was sound, and to him, it truly was.Without further hesitation, Adrian began to absorb the dark beast's soul with wild intensity, violent energy surging into him. He felt immense satisfaction as his soul power grew significantly stronger.Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird stood nearby, realizing they had no opportunity to share in the soul power. The energy was too immense and powerful, and since Adrian completely
At that moment, Adrian led the others back to where they had started, hovering above the man-eating flower. Above them, a trace of black energy lingered. It was remnants of the dark beast's terrifying power that had not yet dissipated.Adrian glanced at the black energy and said, "What a pity. If you hadn’t provoked me, you might have continued living. But now it seems it’s too late for that."He smiled lightly, surprising Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird. They knew just how terrifying Adrian had become. His power was beyond words. His tone was almost nonchalant as if he were brushing off the entire event."It’s time to leave," Adrian added. He unleashed a burst of golden light, his formidable power radiating from his hands.Boom!The entire sky trembled as the space around them shattered in an instant. Seeing this, Adrian’s expression grew cautious. "Let’s hope there aren’t any other fools who don’t know their place." He was aware that many lurking dangers still watched them from
Whoosh, whoosh!Winds howled violently, mountains and rivers trembled, and even the towering trees shivered in fear. The earth quaked uncontrollably beneath Adrian's immense power. His strength had reached a level where each movement felt capable of tearing the world apart, causing everything to tremble in his wake."Adrian's power is truly beyond our reach," Tyron remarked, feeling a mix of inadequacy and awe."Indeed, it’s terrifying. Master’s strength could destroy the heavens and the earth," the Violet Rain Bird added in agreement.Adrian’s power was undeniably frightening. If not handled with care, it seemed he could shatter everything in an instant.With a cold expression, Adrian delivered a fierce punch, combining the force of his fist with the power of the runes. His strike pierced through the void.Crack!The space shattered instantly, leaving a gaping hole in the fabric of reality. A horrifying aura emanated from the spatial break, sending chills down the spine of anyo
This intriguing adventure was fraught with relentless danger. One misstep and the three of them might never return alive.Adrian gazed into the distance. Although they had entered the deeper parts of the secret realm, it felt like they hadn’t fully delved in yet. Pushing further seemed increasingly difficult, and his expression turned cold as he looked ahead."I wonder how much longer until we find the Prism Stone and the Enlightenment Tree," he wandered.The Violet Rain Bird responded with equal seriousness, "We need to proceed cautiously, using hidden methods to suppress our presence and avoid unnecessary trouble. The deeper we go, the more advanced Divine beasts we’ll encounter. If we provoke them, it could lead to a terrible battle, and that would be the end of us."Adrian was surprised by the suggestion, but he nodded. "Alright, we’ll do it your way. Moving further in will be risky. We must stay cautious." He understood that rushing forward recklessly could trigger a crisis to
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
