"What incredible power!" Tyron exclaimed, amazed as waves of energy pulsed from Adrian. None of them had anticipated that Adrian could unleash such a force that it reached them from afar. Excitedly, the Fire Unicorn pointed its small hoof into the distance, recognizing that the powerful energy came from Adrian. Only he could wield such overwhelming strength. The Violet Rain Bird also sensed Adrian's power and confirmed, "Master is unharmed. This is his energy."Tyron smiled in relief upon hearing this. "I knew it! Adrian always pulls through. With him, you can always believe in miracles," he said confidently. The Fire Unicorn's wide eyes sparkled with excitement as the Violet Rain Bird added, "Yes, Master’s strength can always be trusted."The Fire Unicorn smiled, its tiny eyes gleaming in agreement.Meanwhile, Adrian's power surged wildly. His expression grew colder, filled with fierce killing intent. He finally understood the true nature of the Prism Stone. The Five Elemen
Tyron was taken aback, sensing the waves of power radiating from Adrian was clearly connected to dragons."This is truly unbelievable. Even if someone were mimicking a dragon technique, it shouldn't generate such a powerful force," the Violet Rain Bird remarked, puzzled. Only Adrian could explain what was happening.Boom, boom, boom!The terrifying Dragon Punch slammed into the surrounding space with a resounding crash. The area shattered with a deafening crack, fragments scattering violently into the void as divine energy from the Prism Stone surged toward Adrian.In an instant, beams of divine light wrapped tightly around him, encasing him completely like a rice dumpling. Adrian’s presence vanished as if he had been erased from the world, hidden entirely from existence.In the distance, the Violet Rain Bird gasped in horror. "No! Master's aura has disappeared!"Tyron’s eyes widened in shock as well. Adrian’s aura had vanished, leaving them unable to sense him. What could have c
It felt like a nightmare enveloping Adrian. For anyone trapped in such an environment, it would be easy to succumb to despair and crumble under the pressure. But Adrian had no choice. He knew the only way out was through his own efforts. If he were relying on the trio outside, they would have already rescued him by now.This realization hardened Adrian's resolve. No matter how strong the stone’s divine light was, he was determined to destroy it.‘I refuse to believe I can't find its weakness. Could it be a formation?’ This thought flashed through his mind. He quickly cast out a series of runes, sticking them onto the divine light. "Break for me!" Adrian roared.Boom, boom, boom!A barrier of energy rose around him, protecting him from harm as the surrounding power exploded violently. Yet the light only trembled slightly, remaining undamaged. It felt like a futile gesture, akin to trying to stop a flood with a cup of water.For anyone else, this situation would have been unbearab
If that were the case, the three of them would likely fall into despair. Their bond with Adrian ran deep, and if anything happened to him, they would feel obligated to help. Yet, at this moment, they were plagued by helplessness, unable to reach him.Boom!A violent force surged forth, and the Violet Rain Bird was suddenly struck with astonishment. "That's Master Adrian's power! He's still alive!" it exclaimed in shock.Tyron and the Fire Unicorn perked up with excitement. Tyron waved his hands, and the Fire Unicorn flailed its tiny hoofs."I'm not done yet!" Adrian shouted as he unleashed a barrage of power.Boom!Everything shattered. Even the very fabric of space began to falter under pressure.Adrian smiled coldly, realizing that his efforts had paid off. His power had surged to the late Divine Stage. He could now sense that he could contend with mid-Divine even without any abilities.Even against a late Divine, he felt he had a fighting chance. This realization sent a chil
In response to Adrian's words, the Prism Stone trembled as if it understood him. It continued to resist Adrian, its glow brightening. Yet, all of its radiant energy seemed to be absorbed by Adrian, nourishing him instead of posing any threat.Seeing this, Adrian couldn't help but feel a sense of pity. "You may not want to follow me, but that’s not up to you anymore," he said, extending his hand toward the stone.Suddenly, a terrifying and invisible force surged from all directions, pressing down upon Adrian’s head like a heavyweight. Startled, he scanned his surroundings, sensing something strange and unsettling in the atmosphere.To Adrian’s astonishment, he discovered a powerful formation sealing the stone in place. This was why it couldn’t move. Adrian chuckled, realizing the situation. "If I help you break this formation and set you free, would you be grateful?" The stone jumped in place, its erratic movements suggesting a struggle, though it remained emotionless."Think it
Adrian's expression darkened. The divine light was no simple force. Its terrifying power surged toward him before he even had time to react, growing more menacing with each passing moment. But for Adrian, there was no room for compromise.The boundless divine light was indeed fearsome, yet Adrian had promised to free the stone, and he was determined to keep that promise. Every formation had a weakness, and he just needed to find it.Adrian began meticulously studying the pattern of the formation before him. It trembled violently, but his cold, calculating gaze remained steady, undeterred by the intense vibrations shaking the ground."Break!" Adrian roared.Yet after hours of study, he still hadn't succeeded. The relentless beams of light continued to crash into his body with brutal force.Adrian was blasted into the air, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. His injuries were severe, but something surprising happened. The stone began to pulse, releasing a gentler, softer glow. The light
The formation was clearly under immense strain. No matter how formidable it once was, it was now forced to yield. A chilling sound echoed through the air as something shattered, and Adrian's expression grew serious. He knew this was the moment of destruction for the formation.With a powerful kick, he shattered the formation. Simultaneously, the Prism Stone erupted in a brilliant light, surging toward Adrian with deadly intent.Watching the scene unfold, Adrian smirked. “Turning on me after I’ve helped you, huh?”As he spoke, Adrian unleashed an attack, matching the energy radiating from the stone. The two forces collided with a thunderous crash, and the Prism Stone trembled violently, seemingly shocked by the encounter."It seems like you can control your power properly," Adrian remarked. Just then, the divine light he had summoned transformed into a terrifying formation, instantly trapping the Prism Stone.The stone shuddered fiercely, its light trying in vain to resist Adrian.
The stone trembled before shaking its body in a very human-like gesture. It was clear that the stone was signaling to Adrian that it didn’t have the strength for this task and was advising him to abandon the thought.Adrian was momentarily stunned but then replied, “The Phoenix Tree seems strange. It's evergreen and ancient, yet the plants around it have withered away. Shouldn't everything near it be brimming with life?”Given the nature of such a divine tree, the area surrounding it should logically be full of vitality. Unable to understand this contradiction, Adrian added, “Let’s go see for ourselves. If it’s this mysterious, there must be some hidden opportunity within it. Let’s find out what it is.”Adrian picked up the stone and threw it into the void. The stone quivered, glowing with light as if resisting Adrian's decision.Seeing this, Adrian chuckled and reassured, “Don’t worry. You’ve been around it for so long. It must consider you an old acquaintance. It surely won’t tro
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
