At that moment, Greg said coldly, “See? I told you it was a trap Adrian had set. You all didn’t believe me. Now you must, right?” He was clearly looking for another way to blame Adrian. In his eyes, Adrian was courting death.Hearing Greg’s words, the others felt their anger rise. They naturally believed him. After all, Adrian was right in front of them, and after he and Greg had left, they had fallen into this trap. To them, it was unforgivable. They were convinced this was all connected to Adrian. Nothing in this world was so coincidental.If Adrian could hear their thoughts, he would probably just sneer at their naivety and their tendency to doubt their own judgments. But none of this concerned him. Even if he knew what they were thinking, he wouldn’t care. Their opinions wouldn’t affect him at all.The group rushed forward, desperately trying to escape as the golden light came crashing down around them. After a great effort, they finally broke free from it. At that moment, they
The crowd exchanged uneasy glances. Greg's words stirred an overwhelming urge to pummel him as he was clearly exaggerating. Yet they knew they were no match for him. The few who had initially sided with Greg now followed closely behind him without hesitation.A gust of wind roared through the air, creating a chilling atmosphere. Suddenly, Adrian and Tyron felt a wave of energy wash over them. Before they realized what was happening, they found themselves transported to a strange space, surrounded by chaos as if the entire area had been sealed off.“Hmph, I must commend you for breaking through the formation, kids. Since you’ve made it here, you must be powerful in your own right. I’ll grant you a proper send-off,” a disembodied voice echoed through the air, sending chills down their spines.Adrian and Tyron exchanged startled looks. Tyron's gaze turned cold as he said, “Adrian, it’s said that ancient souls linger within this secret realm. They claim to reward those who enter, but th
As the words fell, a terrifying power descended.“Adrian, let me lend you a hand!” Tyron shouted.The hidden, menacing presence sensed the combined power of the two bearing down on it. In response, a chilling aura radiated from the entity as it declared, “Hmph! Fools! I'll show you my true might!”To the entity, Adrian and Tyron were already within its grasp, and it fully intended to annihilate the pair. However, its power felt less overwhelming than it had initially appeared.Boom!A terrifying force exploded in the sky, causing the entire space to tremble. At that moment, Adrian felt an immense force crushing down on him as if it were trying to devour him whole, but he did not back down.“Together!” Adrian shouted as his power erupted, merging with Tyron's. Their combined energy surged skyward, forming an unstoppable wave.Boom!When their powers collided, an explosion echoed through the void.“It seems this is going to take longer than I expected,” Adrian said, glaring cold
In the entity’s eyes, Adrian and Tyron were nothing more than fools courting death. It was certain that the two were doomed beyond salvation.Adrian's expression turned icy with fury. To be mocked so openly was intolerable. “You think you’re invincible, don’t you? Tyron, watch closely,” he said coldly.A surge of immense power erupted from Adrian, transforming his energy into a deep, ominous black. Tyron was taken aback by this sudden display, his eyes wide with astonishment.“What on earth is this power?” he exclaimed. Adrian's power was overwhelmingly fierce, far surpassing anything he had ever witnessed.Adrian locked his icy gaze on the air and sneered. “Let’s see who’s truly stronger now.”The entity was stunned. It hadn’t anticipated Adrian would be so formidable. “How is this possible? What is that black energy?” it exclaimed, completely in disbelief.Adrian, however, did not bother to respond. With a chilling grin, he scanned the air, determined to pinpoint his enemy’s lo
“How is this possible? How could you have found my hiding spot?” the entity roared in disbelief, never expecting Adrian to uncover his concealed position so easily.Adrian replied coldly, “Your hiding place was far too easy to find.” He soared into the sky, charging toward the air with his fist raised.Rumble!The air trembled violently. At that moment, Adrian was like an unstoppable force that no ordinary being could withstand.Off to the side, Tyron stood in stunned silence. ‘Is this the same Adrian I once knew?’ he thought, overwhelmed by the frightening power radiating from Adrian. Anyone who encountered him now would likely flee in terror, unwilling to stand against him.“This is impossible!” the entity cried out. He had assumed Adrian would be foolish enough to fall under his control like the immortals before him. Even if Adrian fought back, it should have only been a brief struggle before he met the same fate. He never imagined Adrian would be so different.“Die!” Adrian r
Now that Adrian had perished, Tyron was overwhelmed with guilt and regret. It was too late to help him, and his heart ached with sorrow and rage.“Why? Why did this happen? Adrian, I swear I’ll avenge you and slay this wretched creature!” Tyron roared as his sword trembled with an ominous hum."You insignificant ant," the entity mocked, "It’s laughable that you consider yourself important."The disdain in the entity's tone was clear, belittling Tyron completely. The latter’s eyes burned with fury, and his desire to charge forward and annihilate the entity grew more intense. Yet, he couldn’t locate where the entity was hiding and could only swing his sword in frustration.“Die!” Tyron screamed, charging at the air with reckless abandon."Hahaha! Foolish child. Dealing with you is as easy as crushing a bug. Why not submit to me? I could let you live a little longer," the entity taunted, his words dripping with scorn.Tyron’s face turned ice cold. He desperately wanted to kill the e
After Adrian's abrupt departure, Tyron was consumed with fury, burning with the desire to destroy the entity lurking in the void.With a cold sneer, the entity taunted, "I once fought one of your kind for three hundred rounds. I didn’t kill him, but I left him gravely wounded. What are you compared to that?"Tyron, enraged by the insult, shouted, "What do you think you are?!"A terrifying surge of power erupted from Tyron, catching the entity off guard. "You want death? I'll gladly give it to you!" the entity roared as it emerged from the void.Tyron, though shocked, knew retreat was not an option. He steeled himself, pushing forward with renewed determination. "For Adrian, I'll annihilate you, you monster!" he shouted, charging at the entity.The dark being extended a massive black hand toward Tyron.‘What terrifying power!’ Tyron thought, his disbelief clear on his face. Despite his desire to destroy the entity, its immense strength was undeniable.The entity chuckled mockingl
"Impossible! How can this be? Even if you survived that blow, you should be gravely injured!" the entity roared in fury, but his anger was powerless to stop Adrian's attack.Adrian's golden fist struck relentlessly, sending the dark entity staggering backward in pain. Tyron, watching from the side, smirked. He understood this had been Adrian's plan all along, though he couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated. Adrian could have warned him earlier and spared him the worry."Heavenly Body Training Art!" Adrian activated his technique, unleashing another series of relentless blows. "This time, let's see how you escape!" His voice boomed as his power surged. His body expanded, growing larger until he appeared like a towering giant.Tyron was stunned. He had no idea what kind of technique Adrian was using, but the sheer terror of its power left him speechless. Adrian always had strength beyond comprehension, using methods Tyron couldn't even begin to explain. All he knew was that sticki
To Andy, the challenge of the staircase had become overwhelming.At that moment, he felt as if the oppressive void had drained his will to continue climbing, leaving him on the verge of giving up.Adrian noticed and was slightly surprised. It was clear that this staircase was no ordinary trial—each step forward brought increasingly deadly dangers.Adrian's face darkened with resolve, his killing intent flaring. "Really? So, this staircase is as extraordinary as it seems. In that case, let me test it thoroughly."With that, Adrian charged forward, his speed astonishing, and his movements radiating such killing intent that he seemed to materialize as a daemon god."Hahaha, laughable. Does an ant think it can climb these steps? Can you even handle the next five? An intermediary Void Stage expert who just broke through? What a joke," mocked the Holy Son.Adrian narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold, but he answered with a smirk. "Oh? The Holy Son? To me, you're just a pile of trash."Wit
This scene starkly reminded Adrian that he had merely cleared the first stage. The staircase before him marked the second stage.The realization stunned everyone—just when they thought it was over, another hundred steps awaited them."Andy, what's going on?" Adrian asked, confused.Andy had entered this stage much earlier, yet he was only at the 10th step.The Holy Son stood on the 15th step, his body seemingly bound and restricted, a far cry from the confident display he had shown in the first stage.Finnian, showing more resilience, had reached the 30th step.Adrian was puzzled by the sight and struggled to understand what was happening.Andy, looking helpless, explained, "Ah, Adrian, I imagine you're wondering why I'm still stuck on the staircase. The old entity within me has been completely suppressed."On this staircase, all external aid—be it seals, spiritual power, or anything else—is forcibly neutralized. No exceptions. Also, everyone is restricted to the Void Stage, wi
The crowd was puzzled, sensing that Adrian's situation had taken a strange turn for the worse.The final few steps seemed disproportionately difficult, as if they were worlds apart from the earlier ones. From a distance, the scene appeared completely different.The sky and earth trembled, and the sight before them was terrifying."I said… get lost!" Adrian's eyes burned with icy resolve. "Die!"With a furious roar, Adrian threw a punch that tore through the air, its power so immense it seemed capable of shattering everything.The punch carried earth-shattering force, almost ripping the void apart.What was happening? Adrian was directly confronting the obstacles before him.Below, Tyler and his companions exchanged worried glances, their faces tense as they watched Adrian's struggle.The situation above was rapidly spiraling into chaos.The sound of space fracturing echoed, as though the very fabric of the void was being torn apart.The crowd was speechless, unable to describ
The crowd, witnessing the scene, didn't know how to respond.The man's words sounded reasonable, but his glance toward the Sacred Lunaland's people revealed his true intentions—he was clearly trying to win their favor.The Sacred Lunaland members glared at Adrian with sharp, mocking eyes. To them, his defiance was tantamount to courting death.Meanwhile, Tyler and his group were filled with worry.The thunderbolts raining down from above seemed capable of obliterating everything, creating an overwhelming atmosphere of dread.At that moment, Adrian appeared on the brink of destruction.The scene was harrowing, and his situation seemed hopeless as he endured unbearable agony within the void.A surge of power exploded. The energy in the void coalesced and struck in an instant, as the relentless lightning cascaded onto Adrian like a violent storm, threatening to obliterate him.The impact engulfed Adrian completely, his form swallowed by the violent energy.The sight was terrifyin
"Exactly! The Holy Son has his seals—what does he have?"A chorus of ridicule erupted from the crowd.In the Spirit Domain, especially on the Central Continent, elders often placed protective seals on their descendants. These seals carried a portion of the elder's strength or will, designed to activate in life-threatening situations and provide a way out.To the onlookers, Adrian was just a lone soldier—an insignificant figure with no support or protection. Their disdain for him was clear, mocking his lack of status and backup."How can someone like him, with no power or influence, even think of standing shoulder to shoulder with us? What a joke!"Adrian, however, ignored the scorn. His sharp gaze stayed fixed on the path ahead, his body radiating an intense and unyielding battle spirit.In his mind, there was no option but to charge forward. No matter the cost or the outcome, he was determined to succeed.The sky tore apart under surging waves of unimaginable power.Adrian's a
Amid the chaos, the sharp sound of bones cracking echoed.The world seemed to shatter under the immense force, an explosion of overwhelming power.Frozen in shock, the crowd stood motionless.The void trembled, the earth quaked, and everything felt disturbingly abnormal.No one could explain the sudden upheaval.Earlier, when other powerful experts attempted to ascend the steps, nothing like this had occurred. Yet the moment Adrian stepped forward, everything changed.What was Adrian doing?Confusion spread through the crowd. The staircases's unpredictable nature defied reason, its disturbances growing more intense, leaving onlookers in disbelief.Boundless power surged through the void, rippling outward in a breathtaking display. The sheer magnitude of the scene silenced the crowd, awe etched into every face.Above, the clouds churned violently as Adrian endured the baptism of thunder.Waves of immense power flowed through his body, absorbed repeatedly as if the lightning it
A surge of immense power shattered the firmament as Adrian let out a cold chuckle.With a faint smile, he taunted, "Come on, show me how powerful this thunder really is"His words plunged the crowd into stunned silence. No one could fathom what he was thinking.Adrian's audacity bordered on absurdity. While others scrambled to erect defenses against the divine thunder, he faced it with scorn, bewildering the crowd.Unrelenting forces gathered, surging toward Adrian like an unstoppable tide, intent on obliterating him. The sheer intensity was terrifying beyond measure.To the onlookers, Adrian's defiance seemed unbearably arrogant. They could only watch as he stood firm against the void's power.Up close, the void's energy appeared strong enough to annihilate everything—a cataclysmic force that struck terror into their hearts.Yet Adrian's eyes sparkled with exhilaration. To him, this wasn't a disaster—it was an opportunity.The storm's unmatched ferocity thrilled him, and its r
Everyone was stunned. Adrian seemed imbued with supernatural strength, as if sheer willpower could move mountains. His body pulsed with boundless energy, radiating overwhelming, terrifying power.Thunderbolts crashed down relentlessly, obliterating everything in their path.The crowd below stood paralyzed, frozen in fear and shock, unable to grasp the unfolding chaos.Adrian lunged forward with breathtaking momentum, reaching the 90th step in a single bound. The strain caused his bones to crack audibly, echoing through the storm-laden sky."Sir Adrian! It’s too dangerous!"Alarmed cries erupted as lightning bolts gathered menacingly above Adrian, ready to strike with lethal precision.But Adrian only chuckled, his expression serene. "Hahaha! Forward!"With those words, he dashed and tore through the void with astonishing speed, shattering obstacles in his path. His energy surged—a force both terrifying and awe-inspiring.The sky trembled under the rippling power radiating fro
Adrian's bones fractured instantly.His eyes widened in shock—the lightning's power far surpassed his expectations, catching him off guard.A cold glint sharpened his gaze as he growled, "Hmph! Damn it. Die!"Golden light burst from Adrian's body, forming a protective barrier that steadied his steps as he advanced.Each step resonated like the pounding of a giant heart, an awe-inspiring spectacle. His chilling killing intent radiated a force so immense it seemed to subdue the very world around him.Below, Tyler and the others stared in stunned silence.Uncertainty clouded their faces—could Adrian truly reach the summit?The destructive power looming in the void above was enough to unsettle even the strongest.Adrian's battered form strained under the overwhelming forces. Bones visibly fractured glowed fiery red from the intense pressure, making the extent of his injuries brutally clear.Yet with each step, his immense strength reignited. His expression remained ice-cold, every
