After giving them some additional instructions, Adrian bid farewell to them. He had to continue exploring and uncovering the secrets of the astral daemons. A month later, Adrian hid away in a secluded place to practice while reflecting on his experiences. During this contemplation, he noticed a strange energy in the surrounding area.‘Hmm? Where is this energy coming from?’ he wondered. Curious, he withdrew from his meditative state and scrutinized his surroundings with an interrogative gaze. However, the mysterious energy vanished without a trace. ‘Strange. Why does the feeling disappear as soon as I leave the meditative state?’Unfazed, Adrian closed his eyes again and reentered the meditative state. Once back in the state, he could once again perceive the peculiar sensation. It was an odd feeling extending slowly from the ground beneath him.This time, Adrian composed his mind and observed the strange energy fluctuation. During his observation, he realized that beneath the
"See, I was telling the truth. Instead of idling here, I think we should go down there and see what's beneath," Adrian said.Fluffy nodded. "Okay. I'm a beast familiar, and I can't train independently for the time being. I need to enhance my strength by devouring things with intense aura essence. If there's something good down there, please give me a share, Master. I wish to contribute my strength to you.""I didn't know increasing your power is so troublesome. Well, sure then. If there's something good below, I'll split it with you." Adrian readily agreed to Fluffy's request.They walked to the spot where the energy was emanating from. The area itself was not far from where Adrian and Fluffy were, and upon arriving, they observed the place for a while. Once they confirmed that there were no other abnormalities, a white light flashed in Adrian's hand, and his sword appeared.He then threw the sword toward the ground. The sword turned into a stream of light and struck with a resound
As they descended, the surroundings plunged into complete darkness, and the air around them turned noticeably colder.Adrian shivered and muttered, "This place is really cold. Do you feel cold, Fluffy?"Fluffy shook his body and replied, "My fur is thick, so no. Are you cold, Master?""Yeah, I’m freezing.”"Shall we leave then?""No. We're here for an adventure, so it wouldn't be nice to turn around just like that. Let's continue forward," Adrian said through chattering teeth.However, the surroundings were pitch black, making it impossible for them to see anything in front of them. They did not know what kind of dangers awaited them in the darkness, therefore, they had to constantly be on guard.Adrian then pulled out a charm and waved it in the air. Instantly, a bright flame leaped out from the charm, illuminating the surroundings. He looked around, only to find that everything around them had changed.The walls around them earlier were constructed out of blue stones, but the
Adrian slowly headed deeper into the tunnel. He did not know how long it had been, but by the time he came to his senses, he had studied the entire mural. He felt like he had lived through a dream that spanned thousands of years.Adrian looked at Fluffy who was beside him with a strange expression. Detecting the peculiar look in Adrian's eyes, Fluffy asked, "What does the mural depict, Master? I can't understand them.”"You have only just gained higher intelligence, Fluffy, so of course, you can't comprehend such complex murals. I’ll tell you what they say," Adrian explained.He looked up to the murals on the wall. As the firelight flickered, his eyes focused on the mysterious depictions. Under the dancing flame, his thoughts once again traversed time and returned to an age long past.Many years ago, the so-called Death Forest was alive. It was a beautiful place filled with abundant aura essence. Countless rare and exotic creatures inhabited the jungle alongside various unique plan
Amid the flashing sword light, a dragon's roar echoed, and a figure appeared from within the light. The humanoid figure was dressed in a white robe. His robe fluttered, making him look like a celestial being descending into the mortal world. In this dark and lifeless forest, his presence was like a ray of sunlight.The animals in the forest were extremely frightened when Dexter arrived. Some fled, while others cowered in fear. But when the white-robed man arrived, the animals that had not managed to escape huddled behind him. It was as if the boundless darkness would not consume them if they stayed behind him.The man in white was unbothered by the animals seeking refuge behind him. He was solely focused on Dexter. They locked eyes, and neither uttered a word. Time seemed to freeze, creating a suffocating atmosphere.Eventually, Dexter broke the silence. He smiled and a trace of sorrow flashed through his eyes as he said, "Alex Owens. I never thought it would be you pursuing me. Eve
Alex then rushed forward and instantly appeared before Dexter. "I will use the immortality arts to dissolve the resentment in your heart..."His voice echoed gently, as soft as a spring breeze, touching something deep within Dexter's heart. Dexter felt as though he had traversed through endless time and returned to the distant past, to when they were still innocent youths.Many years ago, they had gazed at the celestial beings flying across the sky together every day, filled with envy. A deep-rooted desire was sown into their young hearts—to train to a high level, just like those beings that soared freely through the sky.The talented Alex quickly displayed outstanding aptitude in immortality arts. However, Dexter was different. His aptitude was not as exceptional as Alex's, and his achievements in immortality arts were not as remarkable.As time passed, the gap between them widened, and eventually, they became completely different individuals. Dexter, witnessing Alex becoming a fo
As Dexter emitted dark energy, the radiance around Alex enveloped him. The light on Alex became stronger and more dazzling, completely wrapping Dexter within. As the radiance surrounding Dexter intensified, the resentment in his heart slowly melted away, but he still harbored a lingering resentment."No, I don't want you to interfere! Don't!" Dexter was frantic. An indelible resentment emanated from his heart, making it hard for him to let go.Simultaneously, Dexter’s black aura surged even more. These dark energies converged in the air, carrying a powerful sense of resentment as if trying to swallow Alex.However, Alex showed no signs of abnormality. He calmly said, "Dexter, I can feel the emotions in your heart. I understand that your emotions must have consumed you over the years. But it's okay, I’m here now. As long as I'm here, I won't let you continue to fall into darkness."As time passed, the resentment within Dexter gradually dissipated. In the end, it turned into nothingn
Fluffy’s mouth hung wide in astonishment. "Master, that’s truly unbelievable. If you hadn't told me, I would never have believed there could be such powerful people.""Yes, there are countless powerful people throughout the world, many of them beyond our reach. Therefore, we must strive to improve our strength to have a chance to encounter higher-level items. Otherwise, everything will be in vain.” Adrian sighed."Yeah..." Fluffy nodded in agreement. However, after a moment of contemplation, he curiously asked, "So, are there any treasures beneath this ancient relic?"Adrian knew that this little creature desired treasures. He looked at the mural, then said, "According to this mural, there are indeed some treasures underground. This underground cave was originally Dexter's training abode. After Dexter was sealed, everything inside naturally became grave goods. However...""However?" Fluffy asked curiously.Adrian explained, "However, we don't know anything about the situation insi
