Chapter 725
After refining the Blood Spirit Pills, Adam did not stop.He sealed himself inside the cultivation chamber again and began preparing a second furnace.This time, the ingredients were far rarer.The medicinal aroma alone was heavier, richer, carrying a faint purple mist that lingered above the furnace like smoke. Spiritual energy gathered unnaturally around the room, drawn toward the heat as if alive.Hours passed.The flames beneath the furnace shifted from crimson to deep violet.Finally, the lid trembled.A pulse of energy spread through the chamber.Adam opened the furnace slowly.Inside rested several pills, each glowing with a faint purple sheen.Purple Miracle Pills.Far stronger than Blood Spirit Pills.If Blood Spirit Pills accelerated cultivation, Purple Miracle Pills forcefully condensed internal energy and strengthened the meridians at the same time. Their effects were extraordinary.One pill alone equaled two to three months of relentless cultivation.Even for someone at A

Several minutes passed before Tessa finally stirred.Her eyelashes trembled. A weak cough escaped her lips as she slowly opened her eyes.The room around her felt blurred at first.Then she saw Adam sitting beside her.Sweat covered his forehead. His breathing was heavier than usual, and his expression carried a rare trace of exhaustion.Tessa pushed herself up slightly, still disoriented.“What happened?” she asked, her voice hoarse.Adam exhaled slowly.“You were poisoned,” he said. “I forced the toxin out of your body.”Tessa blinked, trying to piece together her memory.Fragments returned. The strange dizziness. The weakness spreading through her limbs. The darkness that followed.Her hand instinctively moved to the necklace resting against her chest.Her fingers wrapped tightly around the pendant.She used to wear the Seraphic Tear Pendant, something she had cherished deeply. But Adam had removed it days earlier.Too noticeable. And it draws danger to her.In its place, he had gi

Adam hesitated.Not from unwillingness — that had never been the problem. But he had carefully preserved her purity for a reason. His second cultivation breakthrough required it, a condition built into the method itself that couldn’t be worked around. Abandoning that now meant setting back a timeline he had already calculated down to the year.But the alternative was watching her die in front of him.Then something surfaced through the noise of the moment — a memory, sharp and sudden.“The phoenix blood herb.”He said it aloud without meaning to, pulling the small case from his side and opening it. The herb lay within, its faint luminescence unchanged, radiating the dense, layered energy it had taken years to accumulate. He had nearly handed it to a masked stranger at a lakeside. Now it might save Tessa’s life.The phoenix blood herb was among the rarest materials in existence for a reason. Its energy didn’t simply enhance cultivation — it cleansed. It moved through the body like a re

Lord Hades realized his mistake the moment he saw Adam’s expression. He should have told Sasha to send word earlier. He should have had a contingency that didn’t depend on timing he couldn’t control.There was no time for regret. He pulled the military knife from his belt in one motion and drove it hard into Adam’s abdomen.“Watch out!” Tessa’s warning came half a second too late.The blade connected — and rang out with a sharp metallic clang, like steel striking stone. No blood. No puncture. Adam didn’t even step back.The grin forming on Lord Hades’ face died before it finished.His eyes dropped to the knife, then rose slowly to Adam’s face. What looked back at him wasn’t anger. It was something quieter, and far worse.Adam exhaled slowly. Then he released his spiritual energy — not as a strike, not as a show of force, but as something deliberate and final, a single concentrated pulse directed inward at the man standing before him.Lord Hades’ eyes went wide. His legs gave out benea

“Yes! You can stop me for now, but you can’t stop me forever. If you dare to touch me, I’ll kill myself!” Tessa shouted, her voice trembling yet defiant. Her chest heaved as she tried to summon the last fragments of courage she had left.“It’s too late,” Lord Hades countered, his eyes cold and merciless. “You’ve been poisoned with Blossom. If we don’t consummate, your blood vessels will rupture—and you’ll die.”Tessa’s face turned pale, yet her voice remained steady. “Then let them burst. I’d rather die on my own terms than submit to you.”“That’s not an option,” Lord Hades growled, his body tense with desire and frustration. “I can’t bear the thought of losing you like this. Accept your fate, Tessa.”Before she could respond, he lunged toward her. Every step he took radiated power, his cultivation giving him speed and strength beyond normal comprehension. Tessa screamed and flailed, desperately trying to push him away, but her arms were too weak. Each movement she made seemed futile

“This is how you treat someone you claim to like?” Tessa’s voice cracked at the edges. She was close to breaking, and she knew it, and she hated that he could see it. This wasn’t the first time her appearance had made her a target. There had been a time when she had taken quiet pride in her looks. Now she wished she could shed them entirely. They had brought her nothing but this — men who saw her as something to be acquired rather than a person to be known.Lord Hades shifted uncomfortably, something almost like shame crossing his face before his conviction reasserted itself. “I know how this looks, Ms. Armand. I know it’s despicable. But I needed to act — I couldn’t keep waiting, watching you stay in his orbit and never have a real chance. If I can have you, truly have you, I believe I can make you understand what I feel. The body and the heart aren’t so separate as people pretend.”“You are shameless,” Tessa said. Her whole body was trembling — not just from the fear of what the dru
