Adrian's killing intent surged as his fury mounted. He faced an opponent whose sudden surge in power had completely caught him off guard.Breaking through an entire major stage was unprecedented for Adrian. Central Wasteland's secret techniques were unlike anything he had ever encountered.The two fighters moved like the wind and struck like thunder, each intent on spilling the other's blood."Die!" Eugene roared, his body radiating killing intent as he fought to obliterate Adrian.Yet Eugene never anticipated that Adrian would remain so unyielding. Despite witnessing his breakthrough, Adrian charged at him with reckless abandon.This defiance stunned Eugene. Adrian's strength was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.The terrifying power shattered everything in its path, shaking heaven and earth. Eugene's eyes burned with an intense glint."Die!"Suddenly, Adrian discarded his longsword and charged directly at Eugene.The two clashed violently, their powers colliding w
An explosion reverberated through the air, its terrifying sound overwhelming.Adrian's face darkened as he fixed his gaze on the void.Eugene's strength had become even more formidable, an unsettling realization."Hahaha! Are you struggling now, boy? Let me tell you, I will only grow stronger. This is the Central Wasteland's power—far beyond anything a rustic villager like you could ever hope to match!" Eugene roared, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light.Adrian sneered at the challenge. "A tiny, insignificant land. I doubt you've ever seen the true heavens. Your so-called strength is nothing but cheap tricks. Do you really think you've ascended to greatness?"Eugene's rage exploded. Adrian's words were unbearable, completely disregarding him."You're courting death!" Eugene bellowed as his longsword hovered in the air.An invisible force radiated outward, seemingly capable of slicing through everything.Violent gales howled as if the void itself had been torn apart. The s
No matter how hard Eugene tried to deny it, the reality before him was undeniable. Adrian's Soul Devouring Sword had shattered his longsword, leaving him in a pitiful state.Eugene desperately wanted to kill Adrian. His bloodshot eyes burned with fury as he roared, "This is impossible... It must be an illusion!"As he shouted, his broken longsword lashed out again, releasing waves of blood-red energy, intense and shocking.Eugene's eyes betrayed his killing intent, but Adrian only smiled faintly."You still don't believe it? Let me show you what it means to be pierced by a thousand arrows!" Adrian declared, unleashing a devastating punch.A violent force erupted, splitting the surroundings, as if the entire world were tearing apart.The terrifying spectacle stunned everyone around them.The crowd, watching in horror, could hardly believe the overwhelming power Adrian demonstrated, breaking through everything in his path. It was truly astonishing.The thunderous sound of destruc
The longsword drove through Eugene's body, and the crowd froze in shock.Adrian had slain a powerful Void Stage warrior.Eugene's terror and disbelief overwhelmed him as he stared at Adrian, his eyes wide with astonishment and despair. Pathetic—utterly pathetic—that was all he could feel.Words eluded him.Adrian's strength was monstrous, an unstoppable force that had pierced him effortlessly.Before Eugene could speak, he crumpled to the ground, bitterness and regret etched into his final expression.Adrian vanished from sight, and agonized screams filled the air."Ahhh!"Cries of despair echoed across the battlefield.Blood sprayed into the void, and the sight left everyone trembling in horror."No!""You'll die a horrible death! The Divine Clouds won't let you go!" an apprentice bellowed, his hand glowing with blood-red energy.The apprentice detonated himself, unleashing a wave of energy that formed a blood-red image of Adrian in the void.Adrian's eyes narrowed as he
The Divine Clouds leader could hardly believe what he was hearing. The soul emerald tokens of the elder and apprentices he had sent out were shattered beyond repair.This could only mean one thing—everyone he had sent had been killed.Furious, the leader's voice thundered. "Who? Who dared kill members of the Divine Clouds? Do they not know the power of our faction?"The apprentice before him, visibly shaken, stammered, "S-Sir, it was this man!"He gestured, and an image of Adrian appeared in the void.The leader's eyes burned with murderous intent at the sight of Adrian. "A mere ant? This fool dares kill my people? How ignorant! Does he not know the might of the Divine Clouds?"The young apprentice trembled. He knew all too well that the faction leader's power far surpassed that of ordinary people.The faction leader had already reached the Grand Perfection Stage, one step away from the Tribulation Stage. To provoke someone of such stature was nothing short of suicide.The appr
Adrian's calm yet resolute words were interrupted by a booming voice from the shadows."I must admit, you're quite clever," the voice rumbled. "But what you've figured out is merely the surface. From now on, the true contest begins. Who lives, who dies? Who wins, who loses? That will depend entirely on your strength."The thunderous declaration sent chills down the spines of everyone present.The hidden figure exuded an aura of absolute dominance, treating Adrian and his companions as mere pawns in a trivial struggle between ants.Adrian scanned his surroundings icily. He understood all too well that they were insignificant to this unseen enemy.The only option was to press forward, fight, and carve a path out of this place."Sir Adrian, what should we do now? It's clear this hidden figure has us entirely under his control," Tyler asked anxiously."Focus on strengthening yourselves. Everything else is secondary," Adrian replied. He knew dwelling on their helplessness would onl
Adrian's face darkened as the anguished cries of his soldiers echoed through the air. He could feel that his men had been gravely wounded.It was clear that their strength was insufficient to withstand the assault, and the consequences were devastating.Beside him, Tyler wore a grim expression. "Sir Adrian, we've lost over ten soldiers, and five more are critically injured."The gravity of the situation was staggering. In mere moments, the group had suffered significant casualties.Adrian's expression grew colder. He hadn't anticipated such heavy losses in such a short time.It was hard to comprehend the extent of the ambush or the methods employed by their unseen enemy."How could this happen?" Adrian's tone was sharp, his face pale with frustration.It felt as though the situation had spiraled completely out of his control."What should we do now, Sir Adrian? Who knows what dangers lie ahead?" Tyler's voice trembled with concern as he glanced nervously into the dark, labyrint
Hearing these words, Adrian smiled faintly. "This is a natural formation with several hidden mechanisms. Once triggered, they unleash lethal force. Escaping from here will be extremely challenging."The soldiers' eyes widened as they stared at Adrian, momentarily speechless.Adrian's sharp gaze swept over them. He said calmly, "There's no need to worry. I've already figured out how to break the formation."Gasps of astonishment rippled through the group. None of them had expected Adrian to uncover the formation's weakness so quickly."Sir Adrian, you truly are a miracle worker! Without you, who knows how many times we would have perished by now," Tyler said, his voice filled with admiration.To the soldiers, Adrian's insight and strength were extraordinary.He had identified and neutralized the formation with remarkable decisiveness—something they could never have achieved on their own.Adrian shook his head. "There's no need for praise. I'll do everything I can to protect you,
