It was strange that they would send someone knowing Adrian could eliminate level-nine immortals. Unless this person had some special attributes, he was probably the young master that dark immortal had referred to.However, as Adrian descended deeper into the cave, he only guessed part of the truth. The person was indeed the young master, but he was not there to pursue Adrian. Instead, his target was actually the cave Adrian had coincidentally chosen to hide in.In Adrian’s perception, the young master was getting closer. Logically, he should have been inspecting the battlefield or following the traces Adrian had deliberately left behind. The young master’s actions left Adrian both amused and exasperated. Seeing the young master hadn’t even checked the battlefield, he realized the former’s visit had nothing to do with him.“Hmm?” Adrian wondered in surprise, sensing that the young master had also entered the cave. Fortunately, the cave was uneven and poorly lit. He decided to hide in

The cave dwelling, though rather standard in taste with its furnishings and carvings reflecting an ancient style, was quite surprising. Who would have thought that a cave would contain such a residence?Adrian shook his head and observed the dust on the ground. As a long-abandoned dwelling, the layer of settled dust was significant. He followed the young master’s footprints while using a technique to keep himself afloat as to not leave traces. That way, he didn’t have to be afraid of being discovered by anyone coming from behind. If that level-eight immortal arrived and saw extra footprints on the ground, it would be obvious that another person was there, making Adrian’s escape impossible since this was a one-way passage with no exit.Adrian continued following the footprints until he reached a room where the tracks vanished. “Have I revealed some flaw and been discovered?” Adrian questioned himself, but it didn’t seem likely.How had that young master disappeared though? Adrian w

Adrian faced a dilemma about the transformation of matter and its impact on physical evolution. The daemons aimed to make their bodies as tough as celestial weapons, almost indestructible. This extreme physical strength made it very difficult for humans to destroy them, and it made them formidable opponents.Adrian’s view wasn’t unique; it highlighted the different philosophies of daemons and humans. Humans didn’t understand the daemons' weaker souls and their mastery of laws, while daemons couldn’t grasp why humans didn’t focus on developing their physical bodies.The debate between the two groups had been ongoing for years. From an outside perspective, neither side was entirely right or wrong. Humans, with their higher intelligence, focused on training their souls and mastering laws. In contrast, dark beasts, who grew up in harsh environments, relied on force and resource acquisition for survival. For them, physical training was the most practical approach.Meanwhile, Adrian was u

If Adrian had been present, he would have immediately noticed that Jac was now far stronger than before.Jac slowly raised his left hand to the top of his head and then lowered it. He exhaled deeply, and a ghostly green flame that looked like it could be extinguished by a mere breeze appeared on his left hand. The fire swiftly spread over his body, enveloping him entirely in the ghostly green flames.His clothes were incinerated, exposing his bare body. Fur began to grow all over him, reaching its peak length as Jac started to howl. His face twisted in agony as if something was torturing him. His two wolf-like paws struck the ground forcefully, and he began to transform from a primate into a monstrous beast.After the transformation, the wolf-Jac stopped howling and examined his new body with excitement. This successful transformation filled him with glee, and he said in a human voice, "The body of the Netherworld Wolf is indeed formidable."With a light leap, he reached a height o

Although Adrian had already set up an ambush, he could not sense Jac’s approach due to the barrier. However, as Jac began attacking the barrier, Adrian felt the urgency outside. The scattered attacks suddenly became frantic as if something unexpected had occurred. Adrian understood that a change in attack frequency and intensity indicated a shift in the attacker’s mental state. What could have made Jac so anxious?“Could it be that others have arrived?” Adrian speculated.In reality, Adrian was mistaken. Jac's berserk transformation was nearing its end. This frenzy-induced atavism consumed blood to fuel the transformation. When the transformation occurred, Jac’s blood was exhausted, and all his mental energy was focused on the process. After the transformation ended, his mental energy returned, but he was already physically and mentally drained.Each atavism process was a massive drain on both mind and body. Jac felt his thoughts becoming sluggish, so he hastened his attacks on the
