Chapter 4433

Author: Celestial Clouds
The old man's anger flared. “Boy, don’t think you’re the only one with special techniques. My power is beyond your comprehension.” His voice dripped with arrogance, fully convinced that Adrian was just an insect to be crushed.

Adrian’s expression remained cold. “Old man, there's no need to get so worked up. Don’t worry. I’ll send you to the underworld soon enough.”

In the blood-red space, Adrian unleashed a punch that shattered everything in its path. A blinding flash of crimson light erupted as his strike hit the old man's skeletal frame. His bones trembled, and with a loud crack, a small fragment broke off. Though it was just a tiny piece, the old man’s soul flame flickered as if that skeletal frame was his most prized possession.

Adrian smirked. “So, this skeleton isn’t just a puppet. It’s your real body, isn’t it? If I crush it, I doubt you’ll last much longer, old man.”

The elder's expression twisted with fury. “Stop spouting nonsense!” He was visibly flustered, rattled by Adr

    “Boy, if you spare me, I can offer you a valuable treasure,” the old man suddenly proposed, hinting at a compromise. It seemed he was beginning to reconsider his position, sensing that Adrian was intent on wearing him down until he fell. Despite his experience, the old man could see through Adrian’s intentions.Adrian recognized that the old man wanted to end this prolonged fight. The longer it continued, the more the old man feared for his life, which he valued above all else. For someone like him, survival was paramount.A trace of a cold smile crossed Adrian’s face as he regarded the old man. ‘Old fool, do you really think I’d let you leave so easily? There’s no way I’d make it that simple,’ he thought.To Adrian, absorbing the elder’s soul power would only make him stronger. Letting him go was out of the question.“Since you’re offering, I suppose I’ll take you up on it,” Adrian said, feigning agreement. The power in the space around them seemed to loosen, and the old man’s eye

    Adrian’s expression remained icy as the blood-red Soul Devouring Sword in his hand trembled with unrestrained energy. He was determined to unleash everything he had to finish this battle. There was no way he would let the old man before him escape.The power in Adrian’s hand shuddered in the void, and runic symbols spread around them, forming an array as he continued to clash with the elder. Setting up formations while fighting was his usual strategy.As Adrian gathered terrifying energy, the elder began to sense something was amiss. Observing the shifting space, he felt an unsettling change in his surroundings, though he couldn’t pinpoint what was happening. An increasing sense of apprehension crept over him.‘What is this kid doing?’ he wondered, watching Adrian’s power radiate. His suspicion grew with each passing moment.Adrian’s face remained stoic and cold. He knew exactly what he was doing. In the distance, Tyron and the others observed flashes of blue light illuminating the

    The elder glared at Adrian with smug arrogance, convinced this battle would end the latter. He had summoned a hellhound radiating an advanced Divine Stage aura, certain Adrian stood no chance.“Oh mighty deity, take this boy’s life, and I shall sacrifice myself to you,” the elder chanted, his soul flame dimming slightly as he sacrificed part of his life force.Adrian observed the hellhound, noting a strange gleam in its eyes. It wasn’t a soul flame, but some unusual energy source. His gaze turned icy. “So, this is your ‘great power?’ If you’re so eager to die, let’s get started.” His eyes glinted with lethal intent, ready to confront the beast.“Boy, you’re about to witness the power of a deity!” the elder roared as his strength flared, distorting the very air around them as though it might shatter.Boom!The hellhound let out a feral roar, its presence echoing like that of an ancient beast. Adrian’s expression remained cold. This creature was unlike any he had encountered, and a

    As Adrian finished speaking, a terrifying force surged from his hand, crashing through the air with relentless intensity. The power hurtled toward the hellhound, slamming into it with devastating impact.The elder, too, charged forward, his soul energy fluctuating as he prepared to risk everything to seize Adrian’s power. His soul force raged toward Adrian, intent on devouring his soul. But in an instant, his face twisted in horror as Adrian unleashed his own soul energy—a mighty, terrifying force that filled the air.“How is your soul power so strong?” the elder gasped, shocked.Adrian’s soul energy was nearly at the advanced Divine Stage, far beyond what he’d anticipated. By his estimates, Adrian’s soul power should have only reached an intermediate level.Adrian smirked coldly. “Only now you realize my strength? A bit late, isn’t it?” He struck the elder with a powerful punch.Bam!The elder staggered, feeling an immense, crushing force pressing down on him. Stunned, his face

    The scene was pure chaos. Adrian was giving it everything, fighting the hellhound with sheer physical strength. It was a risky move as the hellhound, a creature of the underworld, had a naturally powerful physique. If things went wrong, Adrian’s approach could spell disaster.Boom!Adrian pressed on, unfazed by the strain. In fact, he felt a thrill. His strength was holding its own against this fierce creature.Boom!The elder watched, horror flashing across his face. He hadn’t expected Adrian’s power to be this terrifying. The latter’s strength seemed beyond comprehension. But surrender wasn’t an option, and he refused to yield.Adrian, too, appeared set on finishing this fight.Boom!The hellhound lashed out with savage force, colliding fiercely with Adrian and creating a display so intense that even the elder flinched. Waiting for the right moment, he planned to steal Adrian’s soul energy, hoping to exploit the latter’s focus on the hellhound.But Adrian saw through the elde

    Adrian unleashed waves of overwhelming power that shook the realm as if his energy might tear it apart. His expression was icy and determined. He was ready to annihilate anything in his way. Still, he knew he needed to move carefully.Around him, the formation was now fully activated. “A hellhound, is it? Since you’re here, there’s no leaving,” he said, activating sinister runes on his hands that released a fearsome surge of energy.The force crashed into the hellhound like a tidal wave, and its bones began to crack under the unyielding pressure. The shattering sounds echoed, and the elder stared in horror. He hadn’t believed this was possible. The hellhound’s body was supposed to be as resilient as a divine weapon.“What kind of formation is this?” he muttered in fear. Initially, he’d dismissed Adrian’s setup as a mere distraction during their battle, not realizing it could release such destructive force.As the hellhound staggered under the assault, Adrian smirked. “That didn’t w

    Adrian sneered at the elder’s confusion. “Curious about this flame? Come experience it yourself.”With that, he unleashed another wave of fire, directing its intense heat at the hellhound’s skeletal frame.Crack! Crack! Crack!The relentless flames splintered the hellhound's bones in a terrifying and chaotic display. Adrian’s expression remained cold, as though this destruction was routine.The elder cried out in despair, “No! This isn’t possible!” Desperately, he called out, “Divine power, I beg you. Release your might and destroy this boy! I offer my entire soul in sacrifice!”The elder couldn’t comprehend Adrian’s overwhelming flame. It was reducing everything to ashes. How could he hope to win like this?Adrian sensed the elder’s panic and sneered. “Pathetic. Your so-called ‘divine being’ can’t even protect itself now.”With those words, Adrian directed his energy toward the strange force controlling the hellhound, certain it was the key to its strength, and prepared to sh

    "Die!" Adrian snarled, unleashing his power and drawing in the strange energy around him.The old man recoiled, shouting, "You insolent fool! How dare you defy the gods! You’re inviting divine wrath!"Adrian smirked. "Worry about yourself first, old man." He waved, activating the formation he had set up.The power raced toward the old man, forcing him into a defensive stance. “Arrogant human! I’ll show you what death truly means!” he bellowed. "Great gods, grant me your power to crush this fool!"But the formation's energy disrupted his plea, forcing the old man to stop. His soul flame flickered with rage as he fought against the force. Meanwhile, Adrian continued to drain the hellhound’s inner power, leaving the creature empty and lifeless.Only now did Adrian understand the strange energy he had sensed. It surged through his body, and instead of resisting it, he used the five elements within him to bind and control it. Though it fought back, he forced it into submission.Gradua

    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.

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.

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.

    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.
