As Adrian's attack was blocked, the woman smiled sinisterly. "Hehe, kid. You’ve got quite the temper! Charging at us without a word—are you seeking death?”Suddenly, Adrian felt a blur before his eyes, and the man in black appeared behind him without a trace. With a sharp shout, the man struck Adrian’s back. A chilling energy invaded Adrian’s body, causing his heart to shudder.Silently cursing, Adrian quickly distanced himself from the opponent.“Are you okay?” Irene asked anxiously.The man in black radiated a coldness as if he had emerged from an ice cellar. The blow made Adrian feel as though he was encased in ice. Even after moving away, his face remained pale and tense.Adrian took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine, just a bit careless. I didn’t expect his methods to be so sophisticated.” He furrowed his brows, scrutinizing the opponent.The man in black exuded a chilling aura, while the woman in white blazed with heat. Cold and heat, black and white—perfectly complementary

As the flames subsided, Adrian remained calmly in place, unfazed. He smiled sinisterly, his gaze fixed on Daydevil and Nightsoul, his eyes brimming with scorn and derision.“How... How is this possible...” Daydevil and Nightsoul were stunned, unable to comprehend how Adrian could emerge unscathed after such a powerful attack.“You insolent brat! How dare you act like this toward us! You’re courting death!” Daydevil bellowed in fury. With a swift motion of her hand, another fire dragon surged toward Adrian.But Adrian only smiled faintly and replied, “It seems you still don’t understand the situation. Or maybe I should thank you. Without your help, this divine weapon wouldn’t have been forged at this moment.”‘Divine weapon?’ The two daemons were taken aback.A flash of light appeared before Adrian.Swish!A powerful spiritual energy suddenly manifested as everyone witnessed a sharp, radiant blade materialize before them. The blade stood proudly, emanating an incredibly fierce au

However, the people accompanying Edwin were unfamiliar to Adrian and his group. They had no idea where Edwin had found these reinforcements. Regardless, Edwin’s presence made a significant difference in the battle.Edwin leaped into the air, unleashing an immense sword intent. With minimal movement, his sword intent swept through the battlefield, causing cries of agony to echo one after another. Countless daemons were effortlessly slain by his attack. His sword intent spread across the battlefield, cleaving through mountains and creating enormous fissures.This was Edwin’s true strength, and it was terrifying. Adrian and his group were deeply shocked. They had never imagined Edwin to be so formidable. This was the first time they had seen him unleash his full strength in battle.Moreover, the reinforcements he brought were also exceptionally powerful. The daemons that Edwin hadn’t yet dealt with were quickly dispatched by these reinforcements. In no time, all the daemons were exterm

Adrian nodded. "Why wouldn’t I be willing? I’m actually curious to see what the Universe Alliance is really about."The two quickly reached an agreement. As they talked, the group returned to Gull Isle. Upon their arrival, the other elders immediately approached, expressing their concern."How did things go? Is everything alright?""Everything went well. We managed to retrieve the item successfully. Now, I need to go into seclusion with the other elders to decipher the Sacred Spirit Codex. I'll leave the island's defense in your hands," Edwin replied, then turned to Adrian and the others.Adrian responded without hesitation, "Rest assured, Mr. Edwin. We’ll take care of it."With that, the elders retreated to the cave on the island to begin their seclusion, leaving the island’s defense entirely in the hands of Adrian and his companions. For them, the real challenge was just beginning, as the responsibility now rested solely on their shoulders. Fortunately, Adrian and his group were

"Dragan! If you don't fight back, you'll die!"Suddenly, a burst of sword energy cut down several immortals. Everyone was startled and turned toward the voice, only to see an immortal charging forward, sword in hand, cutting down countless daemonized immortals on the spot."Dragul!" Dragan shouted, recognizing his savior.After swiftly carving a path through the chaos, Dragul yelled, "Dragan, take the items and retreat!""Alright!" Dragan had no other choice—retreat was their only option.Feigning an attack, Dragan quickly withdrew, following Dragul's lead. However, Ul'gal was unwilling to let them escape.He shouted, "And where do you think you're going?"As his words fell, countless beams shot toward them, but the two escaped with remarkable speed, leaving Ul'gal far behind."They got away." Ul'gal sighed as he watched them vanish.A subordinate beside him asked, "My lord, they escaped. Should we pursue them?"Ul'gal responded, "No need. They can run, but they can't hide fo
