It was a type of energy he had never encountered before.Amara also sensed it, recognizing it as a demonic presence. Despite that, Adrian was not worried. After all, this hidden mountain crevice was an unknown place, and the existence of some supernatural entities was plausible.However, there seemed to be something peculiar about this energy.Suddenly, Almandine said, "Be cautious. There's something strange about this demonic being!"Adrian replied, "I've noticed!"With that, he swung the Scarlet Dracoblade and forced the assailant to show itself.Realizing that its presence had been busted, the demon charged toward Adrian. Adrian made a gesture with his hand, and the Scarlet Dracoblade whizzed out to intercept the attack. A loud bang resounded, and Adrian took several steps back to stabilize himself.From this attack, Adrian could see that their opponent was powerful, and he cursed inwardly. Before he could do anything, a whirlwind stirred up nearby. Within the whirlwind, a
The entire ravine shook as if the earth itself was trembling."Don't kill the demon! We need to know who sent him after us!" Amara said. Adrian nodded in agreement. At the same time, the demon felt that its soul was being pulled into an unknown space by an inexorable force. It was gradually finding it hard to hold its ground, and it was also losing its battle against Adrian.At the same time, Almandine sensed that there was another force similar to its own within the demon.It knew what the force was and chuckled coldly. "Break!" With a thunderous roar, a crack suddenly appeared in the demon's soul.Almandine searched inside and found the presence of the soul of Ebonis, the Black Dragon.At that moment, Ebonis was curled within the depths of the demon's soul. It looked completely drained, as if all its strength had been sapped away."Old friend, long time no see!" Almandine called out. When Ebonis heard the familiar voice, it opened its eyes slowly and saw Almandine before
After confirming that the connection between him and the Black Dracoblade had been severed, Rubern's face turned even darker. He knew that Adrian must have gotten the Black Dracoblade, but there was nothing he could do about it. "This guy is indeed extraordinary. For now, I'll let him go. But once I recover, I'll make sure to settle the score with him!" Rubern said. He then sat up with difficulty, crossed his legs on the ground, and began to heal his injuries. Among immortals, physical injuries were the least of their concerns. After all, such injuries could be meticulously treated and healed quickly.However, when it came to spirit core damage, it was a different scenario. The spirit core was the most crucial aspect for an immortal. If the soul was injured, it would take several days to months or even years to heal. Some injuries might require external help for treatment.Fortunately, Rubern's condition was relatively mild.*Meanwhile, the demon felt the power refraining hi
In a way, Almandine had learned of everything the demon had ever done.After a long while, another beam of light flew out from the demon's forehead. Almandine transformed back to its original form and stood beside Adrian. It nodded toward Adrian, indicating that the demon was telling the truth.Adrian sighed and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect Rubern to be such a schemer. I haven't done anything to him, yet he repeatedly tried to harm me. I guess I have no choice but to fight back now." Amara pondered for a moment and said, "People are unpredictable. I wouldn't have let him off back then if I had known he was such a person. However, speaking of which, how should we deal with this demon?"Honestly, Adrian did not like taking lives. Even though he had killed people before, the feeling was never pleasant. Therefore, he preferred resolving issues peacefully.Adrian looked at the demon, who felt as if its gaze could penetrate his soul. After experiencing these events, Adrian r
As they spoke, a trace of melancholy appeared in Amara's eyes. The young man in front of her had only recently entered as a newcomer. In the blink of an eye, he had matured. His methods were becoming more decisive and sharp. Before long, he might be able to stand on his own without her protection.To be honest, Amara was increasingly concerned about Adrian. Even if he just lightly scratched his finger, she would feel worried for him. Moreover, being with Adrian gave her a strange feeling she couldn't quite explain.The Black Dracoblade was now completely subdued by Adrian. With the powerful Almandine and Ebonis by his side, Adrian felt that he had become much stronger. However, Ebonis didn't talk much. After a brief conversation with Adrian, it fell silent.*On that night, Adrian discussed matters with Almandine. Adrian's vigilance soared after learning that Rubern intended to make a move against him. What would happen at other times if Rubern could find someone to ambush him even
Adrian had always been a lone wolf, but after today's events, he realized that having his own influence was crucial. If it weren't for Amara's care, no one would probably know if he died.Aligning with major forces wasn't Adrian's style because he detested ingratiating himself with others. Since that approach wasn't viable, he decided to establish his own prestige and have others seek refuge with him.Today, he unexpectedly subdued a demon as well as the Black Dracoblade. However, although Shadowlurker's strength was extraordinary, Adrian couldn't use it openly. What he wanted was to establish a foothold in the faction.At that moment, Amara suddenly asked, "Adrian, what are you thinking?"Adrian was startled by Amara's unexpected question and replied, "Nothing much. Amara, can I ask you for a favor?"Amara smiled. "Between us, there's no need to be so formal. Go ahead."By now, Adrian considered Amara a friend. He felt there was no need for formality between them. Therefore, he
Adrian slapped his forehead, "How did I forget about this?"Upon saying that, he expanded his consciousness to probe the surroundings. Sure enough, beneath the ruins of the Splendour Pavillion, Adrian sensed fluctuations of aura essence. Any aura essence fluctuation was unusual.He immediately summoned the spirit cores of Scarlet and Black Dracoblades, slashing through layer after layer of rocks. Indeed, beneath the layers of rocks, Adrian discovered an independent space surrounded by multiple layers of formations.This space seemed to have existed for a very long time, exuding ancient vibes. Although the layers of rocks collapsed on it, the space remained intact due to the protection of the formations. Now that Adrian had broken the rocks, the interior of the space was exposed.It was a square-shaped cavity with layered stairs that seemed to lead downward. Adrian swung his twin swords, banging against the formation. The formation remained undisturbed, emitting only a muffled sound
Adrian nodded and said, "Yes, with so many rare treasures, it should be enough for our training for a long time to come."As he spoke, he walked toward a large pill furnace and opened it, discovering that it was filled with golden-yellow pills.This precious pill was called the Amber Pill in the immortal world. For immortals, eating regular food from the mortal world had no effect. Over time, impurities would accumulate in their bodies. Therefore, apprentices of some immortal factions consumed various precious herbs, immortal birds, and other items, and some even replaced food with pills.One of the most common pills for this purpose was the Amber Pill. However, not all immortal factions were generous enough to provide these pills to all their apprentices, making the Amber Pill relatively valuable in the immortal world.Adrian said, "Amara, let's split this furnace of Amber Pills between us."Adrian wasn't greedy.This time, Amara didn't refuse and readily accepted Adrian's offer
