Boom!In an instant, the clash between Adrian and Amethyst Cloud shook the surrounding space. Fierce winds swirled as powerful forces erupted wildly. When they collided, Adrian felt the immense strength of his opponent radiating outward.“Hahaha! Die, boy!” Amethyst Cloud roared, his killing intent surging as he launched another brutal attack.Bang! Bang! Bang!Their energies collided violently, creating a terrifying spectacle. Onlookers watched in shock, amazed that Adrian was holding his own against the mighty Amethyst Cloud.“Even with the age difference, they’re fighting on nearly equal footing,” someone murmured in surprise.An elder nearby shook his head. “It’s too early to tell. For true warriors, battles often intensify over time. We’ll only see who is truly stronger when they reveal their hidden strengths.”The others nodded in agreement. “Yes, we’ll have to wait until the end.”The fight reignited in the void as Adrian and Amethyst Cloud exchanged blows frantically. T
As the battle raged on, Amethyst Cloud's expression shifted from confidence to concern. He hadn’t anticipated the frightening extent of Adrian’s strength. Their powers exploded outward, causing fragments of space to shatter and fall away.“Boy, I’ll show you the meaning of despair!” Amethyst Cloud roared, swinging his massive blade with all his might, fully committing to a fight to the death.Adrian's expression turned icy. “Many have challenged me to fight to the death. You’re just the next one,” he replied defiantly, though a hint of tension lingered in his voice.As their powers clashed once more, a tidal wave of energy surged around them, creating a massive barrier. They continued to collide, their forces rippling outward. With a powerful punch, Adrian struck Amethyst Cloud, sending him flying back.Stunned, Amethyst Cloud shouted, “How is this possible? How can your physical strength be so overwhelming?” Unable to comprehend Adrian’s terrifying power, he was left in disbelief.
“Looks like things aren’t going well for you,” Adrian taunted, unleashing his terrifying power. In an instant, his energy surged forward, crashing down with tremendous force.Boom!Amethyst Cloud felt a powerful force pressing down on him. “Wh-What is this?” Stunned, he struggled to comprehend Adrian’s overwhelming power as it bore down upon him again.Boom!The explosive force seemed to tear through the very fabric of space, and Amethyst Cloud sensed Adrian’s strength reaching an indescribably high level. What shook him most was the realization that Adrian’s power could break through anything in its path.“How are you this strong? You’re a monster!” Amethyst Cloud stared at Adrian in horror and disbelief. Despite his shock, the reality before him left little room for doubt. Adrian’s power was undeniably terrifying.Adrian sneered. “Just because you don’t believe it doesn’t make it any less real. You’re just ignorant.”This insult only fueled Amethyst Cloud's anger, and he shout
As Adrian charged forward, Amethyst Cloud's face twisted with rage. He felt like an easy target, ripe for the picking. However, in Adrian's eyes, this wasn’t mere contempt. He was determined to unleash his full power and crush Amethyst Cloud.Whoosh!A terrifying wave of energy burst forth from Adrian’s hand, radiating raw power. He seized every opportunity to attack without hesitation. His expression was icy, laced with deadly intent, and his force seemed to pierce the heavens.Adrian’s power surged relentlessly, clashing against Amethyst Cloud with unyielding fury, as if he aimed to obliterate the entire realm.Amethyst Cloud's expression grew increasingly grim. Adrian’s strength far surpassed his expectations.With overwhelming force capable of destruction, Adrian’s physical power intertwined with the dark energy from his Soul Devouring Sword.Boom!A deafening blast shook the heavens, causing cracks to ripple across the sky as if the world were shattering. The violent erupti
The Fire Unicorn watched the intense battle with eager eyes, itching to join in. But Tyron quickly held it back, saying, "Stay calm, little unicorn. Adrian is strong. He can handle this."Tyron’s reassurance calmed the Fire Unicorn, though it still looked ready to jump in, clearly eager to help Adrian.Meanwhile, Adrian offered a faint smile and said, “You’ve already lost.”As soon as he finished speaking, terrifying beams of light erupted around him, forming a complex formation. Amethyst Cloud was stunned, realizing too late that Adrian had been quietly setting up this formation.‘He even knows formation arts?’ Amethyst Cloud's face darkened in shock. Adrian's mastery of various deadly techniques exceeded his expectations. Scowling, Amethyst Cloud declared, “You’re strong, but you’ll regret crossing me!”With that, his sinister blade released dark energy that swirled ominously in the air. In the next instant, it slashed fiercely at Adrian.Adrian furrowed his brow, sensing that
In an instant, Adrian battered Amethyst Cloud, left bloodied and bruised and looking utterly pitiful. Adrian's expression remained icy cold, his eyes filled with relentless killing intent. To him, this outcome was inevitable. He had given his opponent a chance, but since it wasn’t appreciated, he would show no mercy now.Adrian unleashed a cold, swirling power into the air.Boom!A terrifying force spread out, seemingly shattering the very heavens. Adrian's face displayed an unyielding chill as Amethyst Cloud struggled under the assault.Staring at Adrian in fury, Amethyst Cloud roared, “Must you be so ruthless? Then don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”Adrian laughed coldly. “Is that so? Then die!”His formation spun faster, releasing waves of chilling, blood-red energy that filled the air with a haunting, deadly aura. His eyes blazed with killing intent. He wasn’t the least bit afraid of his opponent. To him, Amethyst Cloud was simply bringing about his own demise.With his f
Amethyst Cloud was overwhelmed by a sudden wave of excruciating pain, shock written all over his face as he stared at his bleeding right arm. It felt as though his arm no longer belonged to him. The combined power of Adrian’s formation and the Soul Devouring Sword had injured him far more severely than he had imagined.Unable to comprehend the force he was up against, Amethyst Cloud’s expression turned cold. “Boy, I’ll remember you for this!” he vowed, swinging his massive blade before fleeing.As a surge of energy approached him, Adrian shot Amethyst Cloud a cold glare. “Trying to escape? Where do you think you’re going?”He threw a punch to block the escape route, but Amethyst Cloud’s blade had already slashed through the air, opening a spatial passage. In a daring move, the latter hurled his weapon, creating a rift in space itself, and slipped through like a phantom, disappearing.Adrian’s eyes flickered with surprise, partly admiring Amethyst Cloud’s decisiveness. The crowd wat
With a cold expression, Adrian murmured, “This treasure seems to share a bit of fate with me. Come here, little treasure.” He extended his hand, and the treasure moved toward him without resistance as if it were meant for him.Adrian stowed it away and remarked casually, “With this in hand, it’s time to leave.”Lingering here was risky. He had no way of knowing if another powerful figure might arrive. Though his strength had grown considerably, he preferred to avoid being surrounded by a swarm of experts. The mere thought of it was unsettling. Keeping a low profile was the best choice.Without delay, the Violet Rain Bird carried Adrian and his companions swiftly away. In the distance, the onlookers watched with envy as Adrian obtained the treasure and made a quick, safe exit. His acute sense of self-preservation was evident. If they were in his position, they would likely do the same. Lingering offered no benefit.“Adrian is becoming an unparalleled prodigy. So young, yet so terrif
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
