Adrian’s gaze grew colder as he said, “Let’s see where you can hide now."The monstrous figure before him writhed violently as gusts of wind swirled around it. Adrian’s face remained steely as he launched another powerful strike.The darkness was chased away, revealing a monstrous creature in full its form. Tusks protruded from its gaping jaws as countless tendrils came out of the beast’s enormous body, reaching out to cling to the nearby murals in a grotesque, nightmarish display. It looked like a twisted amalgamation of creatures, and it was a horrifying sight to behold.Adrian’s expression grew even colder as he took it all in. If not for his keen instincts, he might have already suffered a severe blow.A guttural roar erupted from the monster, sending tremors through the corridor. Its savage energy surged through the void as it lunged at Adrian with its massive jaws agape. Witnessing this, everyone froze. Even the Violet Rain Bird was shaken. In a hushed voice, it remarked, “
Adrian's expression remained ice-cold as he watched the beast charged toward him. No matter how monstrous it was, he would crush it without mercy.Without hesitation, Adrian’s right hand radiated golden light while a crimson aura infused with soul energy surged from his left. He had learned to counter such eerie creatures by combining raw strength with attacks infused with spiritual energy. This creature likely thrived on more than brute force alone, and by employing soul-based assaults, Adrian figured that he might be able to penetrate its defenses.As Adrian's attack surged forward, the monster halted its advance, but it was already too late. The sacred energy struck its body with overwhelming force, sending it flying and crashing into the stone wall.The creature’s massive eyes locked onto Adrian in shock, seemingly unable to comprehend the fierce power the latter had unleashed. This force was so overwhelming that it sent shudders through the monster’s body. Even Tyron was visibl
Adrian held nothing back, while Tyron was filled with apprehension. Adrian’s companions couldn’t be sure if he could handle the situation. Given the monster's terrifying strength, Adrian appeared somewhat diminished.Seeing that Adrian showed no signs of fear, the monster let out a deafening roar.“Die!” Adrian shouted, unleashing his ferocious power.Rumble!The entire space trembled, and Adrian noticed a strange force had stirred within the murals around him moments ago. The grotesque monster twisted its massive head while emitting a series of horrific sounds. In the next second, dark miasma poured from the creature.Adrian's expression remained icy. Meanwhile, Tyron and the others watched in tense silence, uncertain whether Adrian could withstand the creature's might. The monster's strange powers were terrifying, and it was clear that a misstep could lead to catastrophic consequences.After Adrian scrutinized the miasma, he said, "This power… It bears traces of daemonic energy
Adrian stared back with an icy glare. "Foolish creature, how dare you challenge me? I’ll teach you that humans are not to be trifled with," he growled as he pulled out the Soul Devouring Sword.The battle had reached an intense climax, and it was clear the creature’s power was formidable. Without the sword, Adrian doubted he could match it.As Adrian unsheathed his weapon, a dark, menacing aura emanated from the blade. Sensing the malevolent force radiating from the sword, the creature took a few cautious steps back. Adrian smirked coldly. "Afraid now, are you?"Without hesitation, Adrian thrust the sword forward. The strike cut through the air as though it could tear through space itself. Caught off guard, the beast struggled to defend itself, trying to block both the incoming fist and the sword.The sound of metal clashing echoed. Then, with a sudden thrust, Adrian pierced through one of the creature’s tentacles. With a flick of the sword, he severed the tentacle completely.T
Adrian’s expression grew cold as suddenly, a golden light emerged from the monster’s lifeless body. Adrian was surprised. By all logic, this creature had been pure evil, so how could such a radiant and holy glow emanate from it?Watching as the golden light began to move forward, Adrian quickly cast a barrier to contain it. The light seemed to try to escape but was soon trapped within Adrian's barrier.Tyron observed the strange glow. "Adrian, this light feels unusual. I sense a hint of holiness in it. It's so much so that even we daemon would be wary of it," he remarked with surprise.“This light resembles something akin to holy light, but it isn’t exactly the same,” Adrian murmured. “This tomb is turning out to be stranger than I thought.”Tyron nodded thoughtfully. “It might come in handy later. It’s said that in every ancient emperor’s tomb, there are items that seem out of place, but each has its purpose.”The statement made sense in its own way, and Adrian nodded in agreemen
Ahead of them lay the white light the group had to traverse, and Adrian knew that they had to be cautious. One wrong move could send all of them into an abyss from which there would be no return.With a resolute expression, Adrian led the way and the tremors around them intensified. He took a bold step forward, and his three companions followed. Cold winds swirled around them as fragments of shattered space hurtled toward them."What’s going on? A chaotic space current?" Adrian muttered in disbelief. "It seems we’ve ended up in a disordered space. We might not be headed toward the emperor’s tomb at all."Tyron’s eyes widened. "This isn’t what I expected. Could it be that this place doesn’t lead to the ancient emperor’s tomb?"Adrian’s gaze hardened as he assessed the surrounding void and the deadly space fragments colliding with an explosive rumble. The terrifying sound was the result of fragments of space crashing into each other, sending shockwaves through the void. His unease de
Adrian couldn't help but think that the ancient emperor must have been a bit too free with their time to devise all this.Suddenly, a deafening rumble echoed ahead as the void darkened. Bolts of divine lightning began to arc through the darkness. The sound crackled and snapped like the buildup of an impending storm.Adrian’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, while Tyron blurted out in alarm, “Spatial Divine Thunder? Our luck is extraordinarily bad, isn’t it?”This type of thunder was so rare in spatial travel that even in a million years, few would ever encounter it. Yet, it happened right in their path.The Violet Rain Bird looked equally surprised as it added, “Even a Fusion immortal would likely be obliterated by this.”Adrian felt a surge of tension. Though his strength was formidable, facing Spatial Divine Thunder was an entirely different challenge. Only someone at the Void Stage could hope to withstand its power. For most, encountering such a force was certain death.The
Adrian sensed that these relentless challenges were tests from the ancient emperor to test the limits of their resolve. It seemed a little bit overwhelming, yet for the sake of legendary treasure and the mysteries buried in the ancient emperor’s tomb, they had to press forward.Boom!A terrifying explosion echoed through the air. The barrier was under tremendous pressure, and Adrian could feel a surge of divine lightning striking his body. It was as though it was testing his endurance against its immense force.Astonishingly, Adrian sensed that he could withstand it. Perhaps the earlier lightning he had absorbed had strengthened his body’s resistance. With a glint of madness in his eyes, he urged the others, "You guys hold the line. I’ll take on some of the load."Without hesitation, Adrian stepped outside the barrier. As he did, Tyron shouted, "Don't be reckless, Adrian! It’s far too dangerous!" The Violet Rain Bird shrieked anxiously, “Master Adrian, it's too dangerous! You can
