The onlookers were filled with dread, viewing the cave as an extremely dangerous place. Yet, Andy moved forward, looking completely at ease and saying, “Hmph! He’s just a cocky kid. Does he really think he’s invincible?”A chilling wind swept through, creating an eerie atmosphere that sent shivers down the spines of those watching. Many stared in shock, puzzled by the ominous gust.At that moment, Andy’s sharp gaze fixed on the darkness ahead. “It’s just some theatrics. Is there anything truly remarkable about this? I’ll find out what this nonsense is.” He unleashed a powerful palm strike.The sound of the attack resonated like thunder, echoing through the air and leaving everyone in awe. Andy’s expression remained icy as he sensed that there was seemingly nothing ahead.The spectators exchanged surprised glances, uncertain about what would happen next. They were eager to see if Adrian was truly inside the cave.“Where did that young man go?” Someone suddenly called out, astonishe
Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed within the cave. “Look! There’s a light!” someone shouted, and the crowd turned in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief.The cave now seemed much more mysterious. Everyone stared in astonishment, realizing that this place held more secrets than they had initially thought.Andy sneered and said, “It's just a trick. Does he really think he's impressive? I'm going to crush it."Andy unleashed a punch. At the same time, his body radiated a blinding silver light which acted like a protective aura. The crowd was stunned by the sight, unsure of what was unfolding before them. It was clear that something dangerous was brewing, and it seemed that this was the moment when Andy and Adrian would finally clash.As the crowd stood confused, the cave trembled again. Ominous shaking sounds echoed through the air as light flashes burst from the entrance. The onlookers could hardly believe what they were witnessing.One elderly man, terrified by the spectacle,
Watching this scene, the onlookers were stunned. They had no idea what was happening or what Andy had encountered within the cave.Meanwhile, Andy's gaze went cold as he scanned his surroundings. The surrounding barrier seemed to pulse with divine light, surging from all directions and crashing toward him. “What’s going on here? Did I make a mistake?” Andy muttered to himself, confused by the situation. Perhaps the young man had misled him, leading him into this strange place.The more Andy thought about it, the more he became furious. He hadn't expected the young man to guide him into such a trap.“Damn kid! I’ll tear you apart!” Andy shouted, vowing to destroy the youth once he escaped. However, before that, he had to get out of there first.He calmed himself and said, "I didn't mean to trespass. I request that the ones responsible reveal themselves." “Hm? Aren’t you looking for me? Why the rush to leave now?” a calm voice suddenly echoed. “It’s him! The one we’re looking f
The forces trembled with each strike. At this moment, Andy’s expression was filled with shock as countless energies exploded around him. He had no other choice but to kill Adrian. After all, Adrian was the reason that the Steins had been disgraced, and Andy was determined to make him pay. He wanted Adrian to suffer a fate worse than death.“What’s this? You want to break free so soon? I haven’t even started enjoying myself,” Adrian’s voice rang out.In the distance, the onlookers' faces were filled with confusion. To everyone else, this appeared to be an intense battle, yet Adrian dared to claim he was just playing around.Suddenly, a tremendous force caused the formation to crack. The sound was loud and clear, and the onlookers were stunned. They hadn’t expected Andy’s power to be this terrifying. However, Adrian remained unseen in the shadows. Andy frowned as he scanned his surroundings as he couldn't sense Adrian. Logically, Adrian’s aura should still be detectable, but he wond
In the distance, the crowd watched this scene with shock and awe. They could vaguely see Andy standing in midair, launching a palm strike. It was a fierce strike as if it were about to shatter everything in its path. The barrier before him was already trembling violently under his attack.All they saw was his silhouette wildly smashing forward. The overwhelming force seemed to make the sky and earth tremble in fear.Boom!The berserk power seemed capable of shattering everything. In the eyes of the onlookers, Andy resembled a god of destruction, terrifying and awe-inspiring. They could not comprehend the situation before them. It felt as if boundless, terrifying power was breaking through the skies, ready to obliterate everything in its wake.Everyone was horrified by what they witnessed. They knew this situation was no trivial matter. What lay ahead was a battle to the death. Only one of them would survive.Boom!The violent power pierced through the void. Andy's eyes flashed wi
No matter how hard Andy tried, it seemed like he was completely out of options. Enraged, Andy could only think of one thing—he had to kill Adrian.Adrian was infuriating. He had actually managed to shake Andy’s resolve.Before Andy realized it, Adrian had already appeared on his left side, causing Andy’s eyes to turn bloodshot. Andy's gaze radiated with a terrifying light as he launched a frenzied assault. He was determined to end Adrian with his own hands."Die, die, die!" Andy bellowed.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!Adrian charged forward as well. The explosive power burst forth violently. Adrian’s strength was like a raging dragon, slamming forward with immense force, leaving everyone in awe.The entire surrounding area shook violently. The crowd was left speechless, overwhelmed by the terrifying force before them. The sheer power was simply too frightening, and they stared in shock at the scene unfolding before their eyes. Words failed them.What kind of situation was this? Adrian
In an instant, Andy felt a shock ripple through him.Just then, Adrian suddenly appeared high above in the sky.“Heavenly Body Training Art!” he shouted. “Die!”As soon as the words left his mouth, Adrian unleashed a powerful strike. The immense force of his formidable physique erupted forth, leaving everyone in the area stricken with fear.It was unimaginable. What had Adrian just done?Under the onslaught of this overwhelming power, everyone’s eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the scene before them. It became clear that everything before had been nothing but a distraction, a mere illusion. Now, Adrian was truly unleashing his full might.The onlookers could not believe what was happening. They could hardly comprehend how Adrian had pulled off such a move. Could anyone withstand the force he was now displaying?“You’re courting death!” Andy roared in fury, realizing he had been thoroughly deceived by Adrian.Yet, before Andy could react further, Adrian sneered and said, “I
Before Andy could finish his sentence, Adrian’s expression turned cold with killing intent. The latter sneered. “And what exactly are you?”Adrian launched a punch at Andy, the sheer force of it slamming into the latter with brutal, reckless power.Boom!Andy could feel the overwhelming impact of the strike. It was far too powerful, filling him with rage.At this moment, Andy’s Dark Spirit Sword was knocked out of his hand. Seeing this, his face turned pale with shock.In the distance, the crowd was equally stunned.“That’s Andy’s Dark Spirit Sword! It’s said to be forged with human blood!”“Yeah! I can’t believe he actually brought it out. This kid is doomed!” someone remarked, clearly not expecting Adrian to have any chance against it.Others, too, were filled with fear and trepidation. They hadn’t anticipated Andy using such a weapon. This time, it looked like Adrian was in grave danger.From the crowd’s perspective, Adrian was facing certain death. This sword was not to be
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
