It was unclear when and by whom this underground palace had been constructed. The atmosphere inside was devoid of any vitality. Adrian's arrival seemed to disrupt this desolation, activating the stagnant energy in the surroundings.Several muffled sounds echoed, and the vast hall gradually lit up with flickering flames. The once-dark hall now became illuminated with the warmth of light.Adrian looked around and found nothing peculiar in this place. The entire hall appeared vacant, as if untouched for a very long time.This emptiness puzzled Adrian. Why would this underground palace be so spacious? Furthermore, when he scanned the surroundings, he found nothing. It seemed like the place was truly empty.If there was nothing here, why would the Supreme Master instruct him to come? Was he being played for a fool? Strange thoughts crossed Adrian's mind, but something unusual occurred just as he was feeling at a loss.Adrian suddenly sensed a massive dark shadow not far from him. Thoug
#Adrian realized that the underground palace was much larger than he had initially imagined.The rear areas were filled with intricate and twisting passages. Even Adeian could get lost in this labyrinth of corridors even if he followed the figure closely. However, these were not his main concerns now. For him, his most crucial task now was to uncover the identity of the mysterious figure.With the thought in mind, he unsheathed his Frost Crystal Divine Sword. As if possessing its own consciousness, it slashed toward the figure on its own."Let's see if you can defend yourself against this!"A muffled sound echoed as the shadow took the hit. However, Adrian's strike seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving the mysterious figure unscathed. Suddenly, the shadow dissipated into nothingness.Adrian halted his steps, surprised by the unexpected outcome. Nevertheless, he needed to understand the situation. In the next second, he scanned the surroundings. However, he was perplexed when
Adrian swiftly countered the shadow's assault, meeting their attack with determination. However, the figure showed no hesitation, launching another strike directly at Adrian's vital points.Reacting swiftly, Adrian narrowly evaded the blow. Despite his agility, the sudden attack left Adrian briefly on edge as the opponent's intent targeted his vulnerable areas. With the realization that he could have been struck if not for his quick evasion, Adrian remained vigilant.While he was locked in his thoughts, the figure's attack came at him again. However, he was prepared this time. He roared fiercely and brandished the Frost Crystal Divine Sword at the figure's weak points."Hmph! If you wanted to deal with me like this, I showed you what I was capable of!" Adrian declared with a cold snort.During their confrontation, Adrian had been silently observing the figure. Soon, he identified the figure's weaknesses. He then unleashed a powerful strike, aiming directly at those weak points.
Adrian was stunned. After all, he never expected this place to be a prison. If it was indeed a prison, why would the Supreme Master send him here? 'Could it be…'The unsettling feeling grew stronger in Adrian's heart as he contemplated the implications. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure laughed and said, "Hehehe, I understand now. You must have been tricked into coming here by that old guy, right?""That old guy?""The Supreme Master of Frostspire!" The mysterious man said, and the ominous feeling in Adrian's heart intensified.However, the mysterious person seemed not to notice Adrian's reaction and got to his feet."That old man must have encountered a bottleneck in his training. So, he thought of luring you here, intending to use you as a sacrifice to enhance his own power... Yes, it must be the case. Because back then, he did the same to me!"As Adrian listened to his words, he had a feeling that the person might not be speaking the truth. Therefore, Adrian remained silent
Adrian was curious about the outcome of following this person's advice. However, the ensuing events surprised him once again. As he abandoned resistance, the force began absorbing his power.Looking at the person, Adrian asked, "Hey! Are you trying to deceive me? Why are you doing this?"Appearing innocent, the person replied, "I did this to spare you some suffering. Why are you being so harsh on me?"Feeling completely bewildered, Adrian quickly replied, "If you truly wanted to help me, you shouldn't have done it this way.""Kid, you don't understand. This place can absorb your power. Regardless of your strength, there are only two choices here. First, your own strength becomes the cause of your demise. Second, you give up your power to ensure your survival," the man replied with a smile.The explanation left Adrian utterly shocked, as he had not expected such a situation. However, he was soon puzzled.Adrian asked, "But you used considerable power to attack me earlier. How are
Adrian asked, "Will the Supreme Master come here?""Yes, he will!" the man replied with certainty. Locking eyes with Adrian, he continued. "If he wants to absorb your power, he will be coming soon!""Alright, it seems my speculations were correct!" Adrian silently remarked.He had observed that the power absorbed from him lingered in the air, making it impossible for the Supreme Master to absorb it from a distance. This confirmed his suspicion that he would need to come in person.After a while, figures approached from a distance. Adrian immediately lay down on the ground, feigning unconsciousness. As they got closer, he realized they were not ordinary people but the long-awaited Supreme Master."Supreme Master, this..."The Supreme Master smiled triumphantly. "What's wrong? Do you see any issues?""N-Nothing!" onlookers shook their heads."I thought he was just an ordinary immortal when he joined. I didn't expect him to possess such formidable power! This strength is just what
The Supreme Master was shocked and panicked. He had not expected such a sudden attack. He quickly turned to evade, attempting to create some distance between himself and Adrian.However, Adrian's attack was too sudden, and the Supreme Master had not anticipated that Adrian would still retain his strength.He could not defend himself in time and had to forcibly endure Adrian's attack. He cursed under his breath, feeling somewhat surprised. "Impudent brat! How dare you trick me?!"Adrian smiled. "Well, you're the one who tricked me first. I'm just returning the favor."After that, he unleashed all his strength without reservations and attacked the Supreme Master's vital points.Faced with such a powerful assault, the Supreme Master could not help but inhale sharply. Adrian's battle prowess was formidable.Dealing with such a powerful attack proved challenging for the Supreme Master. After a moment, he began to feel the pressure.After all, the formations in this place could absorb
And now, all of them lay unconscious. Adrian was taken aback and rushed forward to assist them. Ensuring their well-being, he finally exhaled a sigh of relief.After some time, the others gradually regained consciousness, bewildered about what had transpired.At that moment, a subtle rustling emanated from the dense foliage ahead, catching the attention of Adrian and the group. Immediately, they became alert, directing their gaze toward the rainforest.Adrian exchanged a glance with Amara, revealing her concern."Don't worry. We won't let anything happen to you!" Adrian reassured.Simultaneously, he unsheathed the Frost Crystal Divine Sword, and Amara assumed a defensive posture.After a while, a person emerged from the jungle, initially unaware of their presence. However, their gaze soon fell upon Adrian's group, causing a startled and nervous reaction."Who are you?" Adrian asked, sensing a slight relaxation in tension. The newcomer's appearance hinted that the situation might
