Adrian exuded a domineering aura. If Renee were to die because of him, wouldn’t that prove he was utterly useless? He had promised to protect her, yet now she lay gravely injured. He found this difficult to accept. He looked at Renee, and his gaze was filled with guilt.Renee, in turn, felt deeply ashamed as she looked back at Adrian. She knew she had become a burden and caused him to lose face.Amidst the surging waves of power, Adrian could sense the self-blame in Renee’s heart. He smiled gently and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve got this under control.”To him, stepping forward meant he was fully confident in handling the situation.Boom, boom, boom!Terrifying energy spread throughout the heavens and earth. The entire space trembled violently as though the sheer force of the lightning was shaking the world. It was as if an infinite power was trying to shatter everything. The void itself seemed to have cracked open, creating a massive hole in the sky.Streams of powerful energy casc
Boom! Shatter! Crack!In an instant, the void shattered violently. Adrian hovered in mid-air, directing the formation he had just deduced straight at the sky. The explosion was relentless, and the sheer force of the formation was beyond words.Yet, Adrian didn’t seem satisfied. His expression remained icy cold. “It looks like this isn’t shattered enough.”Without hesitation, Adrian summoned the Soul Devouring Sword. Blood-red energy, sinister and ominous, spread out from the sword, enveloping the surroundings. After devouring the Azure Naga, the sword had grown even more malevolent, emitting waves of terrifying power that dispersed to the entire surroundings. At that moment, it felt as if everything was being destroyed.Adrian smirked, saying, “Not dead yet?” He threw a punch filled with explosive force, and the area before him ruptured violently, tearing apart the air.A beam of white light emerged, leaving Renee utterly stunned. As she gazed at the source of the light, her eyes
Hearing Adrian’s words, Renee felt a bit helpless. He was right, but it seemed Adrian didn’t take the dangers seriously.Renee said, “What I’m saying is true. The only reason some people made it out of here alive is because they were lucky. They didn’t run into the worst dangers at the time. After those people left and looked back at Death Valley, they said they could vaguely see countless lurking threats stirring within. They all secretly thanked their luck that they didn’t encounter those dangers during their passage. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived.”Adrian chuckled lightly. “When soldiers come, we’ll fight them off. When floods come, we’ll block them. Could it really be worse than that? A warrior’s very mission is to go against the heavens. Even if faced with a life-or-death crisis, so what? Just cut them down.”His confident words left Renee momentarily speechless. It was hard to argue with him. The way he spoke, it was clear Adrian had his plans, and there was no point
This looming danger was not something just anyone could bear, and Adrian’s boldness bordered on madness. "Fine, let’s just proceed cautiously," Renee said with a trace of resignation.She could tell that Adrian’s mind was set. Any hesitation on her part would likely earn her nothing but disdain from him. Besides, Adrian had saved her life and she saw no reason to argue. If he wanted to move forward, then forward she would go. The two continued their journey slowly. There were some faint ripples of energy coming from ahead, but they encountered nothing as they moved through the valley. Time ticked by, and within a matter of minutes, they were nearly out of the valley.Boom! Boom! Boom!Suddenly, the mountain ahead began to tremble. Renee’s gaze locked onto the massive structure and froze in shock. It wasn’t a mountain at all. What looked like a mountain up ahead was actually a giant serpent coiled upon itself. Its scales blended seamlessly with the rocky terrain, camouflaging it
Renee tensed up as she heard Adrian speak. To simply demand that the serpent let them pass was nothing but asking for trouble, After all, this giant serpent was terrifying. Perhaps if they spoke more carefully, things would remain peaceful. Unfortunately, Adrian’s arrogance seemed to border on provocation, and no one could sway him once he had made a decision.“If you’re so eager to die, I’ll gladly send you to the afterlife,” Adrian said.He was determined to teach this creature a lesson. This serpent appeared to be a relic of ancient times, and he noticed its gleaming core. If he could claim it, his strength might surge to an entirely new level. This thought made Adrian’s eyes glint with determination. The power contained within the serpent’s body could be the key to pushing him beyond the Fusion Stage.With this realization, Adrian’s resolve strengthened. But the serpent noticed the greed in his gaze, and its fury erupted. “You wretched human! I’ll make you pay with your life!”
Renee desperately hoped for Adrian’s victory. Only through his triumph could she escape this perilous situation. If he were to fail, her fate would undoubtedly be sealed. The clash of Adrian and the serpent's energies created waves of tremors that caused Renee to stare in astonishment. She hadn’t anticipated such a cataclysmic confrontation.Suddenly, the serpent lunged forward, colliding with Adrian in a brutal clash. The ground trembled violently, and the mountain was seemingly on the brink of collapse.To everyone’s shock, Adrian managed to grab hold of the serpent’s tail amidst its wild thrashing. "What?" Renee was stunned, utterly unable to comprehend what was unfolding.Adrian held onto the serpent’s tail and swung it around as though it weighed nothing. Boom!The earth trembled as the enormous serpent was hurled into a nearby mountain with devastating force. "How is he doing this? How can his physical strength be so terrifying?" Renee muttered.It was commonly under
Adrian shot forward like a raging storm, his arm extended in a punch, tearing through the air with an intensity that caused the surroundings to tremble violently. The sheer force radiating from his strike was terrifying as if the entire world quaked in its wake. Shaken by this overwhelming display of power, the serpent thrashed with all its might. It was consumed by a singular thought, and that was to annihilate Adrian. After all, Adrian had provoked it repeatedly, and it was something that the serpent had never encountered before. It vowed to destroy him at any cost.The serpent’s massive tail clashed relentlessly against Adrian’s powerful fists. Neither side showed any intention of relenting. Both were driven by an unwavering determination to crush the other. Boom! Boom! Boom!The entire area trembled as the clash reached a fever pitch. Renee watched from the sidelines, her heart filled with hope that Adrian would emerge victorious. In Death Valley, survival was reserved for th
The serpent grew even more furious. Rage surged through it as it shouted, "You insolent fool! I’ll make you pay with your life!"With a thunderous roar, the serpent charged forward, lashing out like a weapon aimed straight at Adrian.Adrian met the attack with icy resolve. "Not bad," he remarked coldly, "but it seems you’re still underestimating me." Without hesitation, Adrian countered with a devastating punch. Caught off guard by this overwhelming power, the serpent felt a flicker of fear. It couldn’t comprehend how a mere human could possess such monstrous strength. Adrian’s physical prowess was beyond anything it had encountered, leaving the serpent questioning how this was even possible. Realizing the extent of Adrian’s power, the serpent’s initial desire to fight began to waver. It wanted Adrian to flee. After all, in its many years of existence, it had only encountered one or two beings as terrifying as this human.But Adrian showed no intention of retreating. To him, the

At this moment, Adrian was likely pushing himself to the limit. If Renee gave up now, who knew what dire consequences would follow?With that thought, Renee looked ahead. Determined, she decided to use her very last ounce of strength to withstand the power of the lightning.Perhaps, if she could hold on just a little longer, Adrian might finish his deductions. After all, the mysteries of this world were unpredictable, and Renee’s mind was filled with a swirl of possibilities.Despite the blood still staining the corner of her lips, Renee seemed unaffected. She suddenly stood up with fierce resolve, stepping directly into the path of the lightning. It was clear she was prepared to sacrifice everything, showing no regard for her own life as she faced the violent storm head-on.Meanwhile, Adrian opened his eyes, and an immense surge of power coursed through the void. The scene looked as though a colossal lightning dragon was descending from the heavens, ready to strike.This time, th
