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
The surroundings remained shrouded in silent darkness, with only the sound of his footsteps echoing."This is really strange... It's so dark here, and there's nothing unusual. Where on earth did Fluffy go?" Adrian muttered to himself as he walked.Using the faint light from the charm, Adrian spotted something lying on the ground not far ahead. As soon as he saw it, he hurriedly ran toward it. Upon approaching, he saw that the object lying on the ground was none other than Fluffy. The tiger appeared unconscious, curled into a ball and motionless.Adrian picked Fluffy up from the ground and shook him repeatedly. "Fluffy, what happened to you? Are you okay?"However, Fluffy remained motionless, lying silently in Adrian's hands. Adrian channeled his energy, infusing a little of it into Fluffy. After a while, Fluffy twitched slightly and slowly opened its eyes. Seeing Fluffy awake, Adrian was overjoyed."You're finally awake. You nearly scared me to death!" Adrian exclaimed.Fluffy, s
A burst of red light suddenly erupted from Adrian's long sword. The red light instantly exploded, forcing the assailant to retreat. This momentary reprieve allowed Adrian to catch his breath. If not for this, he would have been no match for the opponent.However, the creature was not a weakling. Although Adrian managed to repel it, it paused only for a moment before lunging at Adrian again as it let out a sky-shaking roar."Grrrraaagggh!"Adrian could discern that this creature was not human. A human could not produce such a sound. This was likely a ferocious monster. He could not see the creature's appearance though. It was entirely shrouded in darkness, making it impossible for Adrian to discern its true form.After the roar, the creature became frenzied and charged toward Adrian. Seeing it drawing closer, Adrian, holding onto Fluff, swiftly moved to the side to evade. Despite the creature’s ferocity, it failed to hit Adrian. Instead, it struck the spot where Adrian had been stan
"What kind of monster is this? It's hideous!" Adrian was taken aback by the appearance of the monster, finding it incredibly ugly.But before he could dwell on its grotesque appearance, the creature charged at him again. This time, it was even more ferocious than before. Although its techniques remained the same, Adrian clearly sensed the creature's strength had grown.As the creature approached Adrian once more, he was prepared. He let out a long roar while brandishing his sword. As sharp waves of aura essence were unleashed, he directed countless surges toward the creature.The two entangled in a fierce battle, unleashing astonishing power. The situation had escalated into a full-blown confrontation. Adrian and the creature struggled against each other, neither giving an inch. Adrian kept his mind fully focused, realizing that the creature could exploit any lapse in his judgment, leading to his demise.Adrian then finally identified a weakness in the creature. He shouted triumpha
He said to Fluffy, "What do you think? It’s a great place, isn’t it?"Fluffy nodded. "It is. This place is amazing, Master!"Why was Fluffy saying this? It was because there was a strong aura essence around them. It indicated that this place was an excellent location.Sensing this aura essence, Adrian became even more convinced that there was a considerable number of treasures here. With this in mind, he quickened his pace, heading deeper into the area.As they ventured further, their surroundings changed. This place was evidently a colossal underground palace that had been here for many years. Upon their arrival, the dark palace was suddenly illuminated, and at its core was a massive altar. Mysterious forces lingered over the altar, creating a peculiar atmosphere.Adrian walked straight toward the deepest part of the palace, silently perceiving everything around him. These mysterious forces seemed to resonate with him. After taking a few more steps, he abruptly halted. He had sen
