After witnessing how effortlessly Adrian defeated such a formidable being, Tyron felt embarrassed. Logically, Adrian could have absorbed the energy by himself, yet he offered it to Tyron, making him feel as though he was taking advantage. Truthfully, Tyron had already benefited greatly, and accepting more only added to his guilt.But Adrian wasn’t having it. "What’s with all the nonsense? Just hurry up and take it before I get angry," he said.Reluctantly, Tyron joined Adrian, flying into the sky where the dense energy hovered. Together, they began absorbing the powerful essence, feeling their strength increase rapidly.Tyron was overwhelmed by how much stronger he had become, leaving him in awe. Once again, Adrian had given him an immense opportunity. Gratitude mixed with guilt gnawed at him, and he couldn’t help but admire Adrian even more.Adrian smiled faintly. "Not bad at all. That guy's energy has given us a solid boost. At this rate, we might be on the verge of a breakthroug
Adrian's punch shattered the surrounding space.Tyron stood frozen, utterly shocked by the display. "Incredible! You’re a monster, Adrian!" he exclaimed.Adrian chuckled in response. "Haha, it's nothing special. Don’t worry about it too much."A gaping void appeared in the shattered space. Without hesitation, Adrian and Tyron darted toward it, disappearing from sight in an instant.Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind echoed as figures rushed through the air. Moments later, a group led by Greg arrived on the scene. Their expressions were grim as they surveyed the destruction, unsure of what had just transpired.Greg’s expression twisted in anger as he observed the dark energy swirling ominously from the void. "Hmph! That lingering aura... It has to be him. They've already taken all the treasures." His words dripped with frustration and resentment and his eyes burned with intense anger. In his mind, every treasure should have been his.The others in his group understood Greg’s desi
This group wasn't particularly skilled, but they excelled at shifting blame onto others. Any obstacle they couldn't overcome was quickly placed on someone else's shoulders. Adrian had grown accustomed to Greg's antics, as blaming others was the only tactic Greg had relied on from the start.At that moment, Adrian and Tyron broke through the void, disappearing in an instant. Ahead of them, waves of cyan light surged, revealing a hidden and ominous world that grew increasingly unsettling.Adrian frowned deeply. Behind the glow lay an entirely different realm."Adrian, the light up ahead feels strange. Should we charge through?" Tyron asked, furrowing his brow. He sensed that something was off.Adrian's expression turned grim as he replied, "We need to be cautious. One wrong move, and it could be more than we bargained for."This place was far from safe, and they had already spent considerable time exploring the secret realm. Both understood that they needed to find a way out soon. A
At this moment, they had no choice but to move forward.Rumble…A series of terrifying vibrations shook the air, making the void around them tremble. The entire realm felt restless and unnerving.“In that case, let’s break through!” Adrian declared, unleashing his attack.Boom!The force of Adrian’s punch seemed capable of shattering space itself, showcasing his extraordinary strength. However, he quickly realized something was off. His blow failed to inflict any significant damage on the barrier before him.“Hmph! I refuse to believe this!” He scoffed, launching another strike.Boom!The deafening impact reverberated, causing discomfort for everyone nearby. Tyron watched in astonishment. The blue light ahead was indeed strange. Despite Adrian's efforts, it seemed impossible to penetrate this radiant barrier.Yet, Adrian refused to back down. "Heavenly Body Training Art!" he shouted, throwing another powerful punch at the blue light. This time, his attack broke through, creati
In this tense moment, Adrian sensed an imminent danger surrounding them. Tyron felt it too, his face paling with sheer horror.“Be careful, Adrian! There’s a threat!” Tyron shouted, activating his protective shield. It enveloped Adrian, unleashing all its power for complete coverage.This time, Tyron realized he couldn’t just sit back and let Adrian take all the risks. Adrian had always fought fiercely to protect him, and now Tyron was determined to prove himself. He wanted to show Adrian that he wasn’t a weakling. He was also a formidable talent, even if he had been overshadowed by Adrian.“Alright, but don’t push yourself too hard, Tyron. If it gets too tough, let me handle it.” Adrian acknowledged Tyron’s determination but made it clear he wouldn’t force Tyron into anything beyond his limits. If he could manage on his own, he preferred not to involve Tyron.Suddenly, an overwhelming force surged through the air and struck Tyron. He staggered back, visibly shaken by the impact.
Tyron understood that the current situation was far from ideal. If Adrian had noticed something unusual, there was certainly more going on than met the eye. However, he was puzzled about what exactly was strange about their surroundings. Aside from the abundance of blue light, nothing seemed out of place. Could something truly dangerous be lurking nearby?“Tyron, strike the void,” Adrian suddenly commanded, his eyes fixed on the empty space as he wanted to test what would happen when it was attacked.“Alright,” Tyron replied. “Shatter!” He hurled a powerful punch. While it wasn’t as overwhelming as Adrian’s, it was still incredibly strong.Boom!The blue energy around them surged, rushing toward Tyron in a frenzied wave. The energy swirled as if a whirlwind were forming. Adrian observed closely and realized something truly bizarre was at play in their surroundings. He needed to investigate further.Adrian began forming hand seals, and Tyron asked, “Do you think there’s a formation
Seeing the object in Adrian’s hand, Tyron realized that Adrian was definitely preparing to temper it. This evil item was far too terrifying. If Adrian wasn’t careful, it could explode completely. The real concern was whether he could manage it.“Can you really handle this, Adrian?” Tyron asked, worry creeping into his voice. He feared that Adrian might encounter problems.Adrian’s eyes were filled with cold determination as he replied, “It’s fine. Just trust me. I can get it under control.”Having made the decision to proceed, Adrian was committed to tempering this evil object. He sensed that once he tempered the malevolent spirit, his strength would definitely increase.Tyron understood that Adrian had his plans and respected his decision, knowing that if things went wrong, he would be the one to blame. This realization brought a sense of clarity to Tyron’s heart.At that moment, Adrian’s expression turned serious as he began summoning his spiritual fire, starting the tempering p
Tyron wanted to refuse, but he felt a sense of helplessness after hearing Adrian's words. Given the latter’s insistence, he knew that arguing further would likely earn him another sharp retort.Tyron recognized that Adrian was considering his well-being and a trace of guilt flashed through his eyes. “Adrian, I’m taking advantage of you again. You’re the one doing all the heavy lifting. I haven’t contributed anything. You should absorb it all,” he said awkwardly.Adrian’s expression remained cold as he replied, “Stop wasting time and hurry up.” He didn’t want to prolong the moment. In his view, those he brought along were meant to share in both his fortunes and his adversities.Reluctantly, Tyron accepted Adrian’s words and closed his eyes, feeling a surge of violent power rushing toward him. To his surprise, he realized his strength was loosening up. He had reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Stage.He sensed he was on the verge of breaking through to the perfection level, and even
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
The beast vanished from the sky without a final scream, its demise sudden and gruesome. The sight left everyone stunned and bewildered.The remaining beast roared in fury, its blood-red eyes blazing with rage and emitting a palpable aura of terror.Crimson light pulsed from its massive claws, spreading an ominous glow.The beast's deafening cries filled the air.Alarmed, Adrian muttered, "Damn it! It's going for mutual destruction!"The beast was preparing to self-destruct—unleashing its full power would annihilate the entire small world.Realizing the impending disaster, Adrian turned and fled, reinforcing his protective barrier as he raced away. He had no other choice. The beast's self-destruction was inevitable, beyond anything he could stop.As he sped into the distance, Adrian felt the beast's furious intent pursuing him. Amid its wrath, faint echoes of despair and unwillingness seemed to resonate.A blinding red light erupted from the beast, shooting skyward and staining
As Adrian battled on, a wave of blood-red energy spread across the sky, forming an enormous formation.With a cold smile, Adrian's eyes glinted with icy resolve. The blood-red energy in his hand trembled and expanded.The chaotic power erupted, and everything fell into place. All that remained was the final spark.Adrian sneered as he faced the two approaching beasts. His cold voice echoed. "It's my turn now."At that, the world seemed to fall silent.The two beasts found themselves trapped within the vast blood-red formation, which loomed overhead like a colossal barrier.Adrian remained calm and composed, drifting into the void as he observed the beasts. "I don't know who's behind this, but let me make it clear: don't push your luck."No sooner had the words left his mouth than Adrian waved his hand, releasing an overwhelming pressure. A series of blood-red divine lightning bolts shot toward the two beasts, crashing into their bodies with devastating force.The divine lightni
Adrian appeared almost insane, with each of his reckless attacks sending shockwaves of terrifying power through the air.The Soul Devouring Sword in his hand resembled a blood-red instrument of slaughter, painting the world with its violent energy.Each strike seemed to amplify Adrian's emotions. Though the beasts at the peak of the Void Stage were formidable, they would never force Adrian to submit.Even if he had to die lying down, he would never kneel to survive. The blood-red power he wielded radiated outward, illuminating everything in its path.Violent surges of power rampaged across the area, each one seemingly capable of shattering the very fabric of existence.Adrian exuded a terrifying, unyielding aura. The coldness and killing intent in his gaze revealed that he had no choice but to slay these two beasts. If he didn't, he would never escape this place.Adrian understood that the celestial ladder was testing him, and only by overcoming it could he gain the strength to b
Suspended in the void, Adrian watched as three ferocious beasts charged toward him.It seemed they had received a command, their eyes burning with murderous intent. Determined to kill him on the spot, they closed in.Adrian couldn't help but wonder what he had gotten himself into.Why had he insisted on climbing this celestial ladder? Entering here felt like a death wish.At that moment, helplessness filled him. He hadn't anticipated these demonic beasts would be so formidable. There was no way he could fight them.But regret was futile now. He was already inside.Adrian had no choice but to face the inevitable. His only option was to fight for survival, even if that meant death in this strange space."Hmph! You want me dead? It won't be that easy," Adrian remarked coldly. "If I've stirred up these monstrous creatures, then I'll show some respect. Let's see who's stronger."Without hesitation, Adrian hurled a punch toward the Red Feather Divine Bird, targeting the weakest oppon
What had initially appeared to be a dense swarm of beasts now seemed far less daunting.Adrian smiled slightly, satisfied. This was the result he had hoped for.At that moment, the Soul Devouring Sword glowed even more intensely.Adrian smiled faintly again. The sword was growing stronger, and that worked in his favor.He let out a cold chuckle. "Now, let's see what can stop me."As his words fell, a powerful, terrifying roar reverberated in the distance.A violent sound, full of rage, tore through the air. It seemed an even more fearsome beast was approaching.Adrian's eyes gleamed coldly as he sensed the change.From the distant horizon, a massive creature emerged from the void.It was an ancient beast—a bird, to be precise.Adrian's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected it to be an ancient beast, let alone one as powerful as the Red Feather Divine Bird.The bird's greatest strength lay in its wings, forged from mystic iron. A single blow from those wings could infl
As soon as Adrian spoke, he made his move. The terrifying beast at the peak of the Void Stage posed a serious challenge.Adrian, currently an intermediate Void Stage warrion, faced a formidable opponent in the beast's immense size and power.Without any command from Adrian, the Soul Devouring Sword charged into the swarm of beasts, cutting down everything in its path with ruthless ferocity.Each time Adrian killed a beast, the sword rapidly consumed its blood and soul energy.In the blink of an eye, Adrian and his sword wreaked havoc across the battlefield, showing no signs of slowing down.Despite the bloodthirsty beasts surrounding him, Adrian remained calm.His fierce struggle only intensified their madness, and they relentlessly tried to kill him. It was clear they wouldn't stop until Adrian was destroyed.The battle had become frenzied.Adrian's movements grew faster and fiercer, while the air around him shook violently, as if the world itself quaked under the battle's int
