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
Tyron naturally felt that Greg and his group deserved their fate. From the very beginning, they had aimed to target him and Adrian, and in his view, they were simply asking to be dealt with.However, engaging in a real fight with those individuals would be quite troublesome. As they traveled, Adrian seemed to intentionally avoid them, focusing instead on moving forward to seize more spirit treasures. Wasting time on those individuals wasn't worth it.Adrian’s avoidance wasn’t due to fear. He simply didn’t regard them as a threat. But now, it was time to leave. The two stepped into the void, instantly disappearing.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…Not long after they had left, a series of sounds pierced the air, rushing toward them. Greg and his group appeared at high speed. Upon seeing the scene before them, their eyes widened in shock at the utter chaos.Inside the blue space, everything looked shattered. The scene was astounding. This situation clearly conveyed what had transpired here.
At this moment, everyone was deep in thought. In their eyes, Greg was merely boasting, spewing nonsense without any basis. After all, when Adrian had faced Greg in the past, he had been under immense pressure and hadn’t dared to act decisively. To speak such grand words now seemed utterly ridiculous to them.Unbeknownst to Greg, the crowd watched him with mocking expressions. He unleashed a terrifying power from his hand, charging into the void and causing waves of energy to explode.Boom, boom, boom!Greg’s strength was incredible. The instant he struck, the void shattered. The spatial fabric had already been broken by Adrian and Tyron, leaving only a trace of energy swirling. With Greg’s punch, it was utterly obliterated, and his eyes sparkled with pride.“I thought it was some terrifying force. Turns out it was just a pile of rubble! You want to block my path? You’re just asking for death!” Greg declared arrogantly.He leaped up, breaking through the void to leave the area. The
To the onlookers, the scene filled them with shock as they considered how terrifying and formidable Adrian was. Controlling such a massive divine bird was beyond the understanding of ordinary people. The sheer size of the Violet Rain Bird exerted pressure akin to a mountain, making their souls tremble. Moreover, he could completely control the Violet Rain Bird, a testament to his strength and power.While the crowd thought this way, Tyron had long since grown accustomed to it. After all, being with Adrian had significantly enhanced his own resilience. In the past, he might have found all of this hard to believe, but after spending time with Adrian, he realized it was merely routine for the latter. Adrian was capable of many astonishing feats in Tyron’s eyes.The Violet Rain Bird let out a long cry to the sky and then swiftly took the pair away. It moved as quickly as lightning, leaving the crowd astounded. They felt that Adrian and Tyron were incredibly strong, as the Violet Rain Bir
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
