Adrian chuckled. "I never thought the Universe Alliance would use such a clever tactic. Truly brilliant!"Over time, Adrian began to understand the Universe Alliance's intentions better, but he was surprised by how far they were willing to go to achieve their goals. He couldn’t help but admire their methods, considering them masterful.As tension in the crowd grew, the two opposing factions challenged each other to a duel. Unable to reach a resolution, they agreed to a life-and-death battle three days later. Both sides would fight to the death, with no complaints allowed from the loser.To Adrian, their actions seemed incredibly foolish. The Universe Alliance had yet to make any statement, so even if these factions fought, there was no guarantee their struggle would be recognized. Some people, including Adrian and Tyron, realized this and chose to remain on the sidelines, creating a standoff among themselves.The three days before the battle were torturous for many. Although they h

The Universe Alliance had finally taken action.Boom!A deafening explosion shook the entire battlefield, catching the immortals off guard and forcing them to scramble for cover. As the dust and smoke cleared, a massive chasm appeared between the two sides. It looked as though a gigantic, sharp blade had sliced through the ground, its sheer size and suddenness leaving everyone in awe. For a moment, no one dared to advance. All the immortals stopped fighting and turned their attention to the Universe Alliance.A commanding voice rang out from within the base, "You are all fellow immortals. Why are you fighting here?!"The voice was filled with authority, cutting through the chaos and reaching every ear on the battlefield. As it echoed, a radiant bridge appeared, spanning the chasm and slicing through the towering sword essence. A figure began to walk slowly across the bridge.This figure wore a purple-gold robe adorned with ancient symbols and a crown representing the infinite yin-

The situation was truly terrifying.Bryn smiled ever so slightly. “I didn’t strike immediately to give you a chance. Since you squandered it, don’t blame me for being unkind! I’ll eradicate you all. Go—!" His tone was icy and commanding.Light shimmered from his hand as a blade's radiance surged forth. In an instant, countless blade beams roared out like a monstrous wave, sweeping through with a fierce storm.Crack!It sounded as if the sky had torn open.In a flash, the immense aura surrounding the ringleader was obliterated with a loud bang, leaving nothing behind. One strike had completely shattered him. The ringleader's body exploded, releasing a surge of black gas. This gas formed into numerous ghostly apparitions in mid-air."He… He’s a daemon..." The immortals who had rallied behind him were in shock. They hadn’t expected that their supposed ally was actually a daemon.The ghostly figures spoke in a sinister tone, "I didn’t expect my disguise to be uncovered. Sir Bryn, yo

The daemons were enveloped in a sea of blood-red light. The swirling blood light surged forth, quickly gathering in mid-air. As the intense blood light coalesced high above, everyone’s hearts tightened in apprehension.The leading daemon greedily absorbed the blood essence, drawing on the power being released. With each moment, as it absorbed more blood essence, the daemon's strength grew increasingly formidable.Faced with such a terrifyingly powerful opponent, the onlookers were alarmed. They hadn’t anticipated that the daemon could enhance its power by absorbing the life force of others. The daemon’s growing strength was truly daunting.Just as the daemon's power reached new heights, Bryn, who had been observing from the sidelines, decided to act. He swung his long knife and roared, "How dare these mere evil daemons be so rampant before the Universe Alliance!"A mighty sword essence slashed directly toward the daemon.The daemon, startled by the approaching sword essence, tried

The group moved on, climbing a flight of 9,999 steps. When they reached the top, they arrived at the central plaza of the Universe Alliance.The plaza was enormous. From there, the view stretched out endlessly, with clouds rolling like a vast sea, creating a breathtaking scene.At this point, Bryn addressed them, "As esteemed guests of the Universe Alliance, you are welcome to use the guest rooms, labs, and other facilities. We will reconvene here in three days to discuss our strategies against the daemons. Does that work for everyone?"There were no objections, and everyone began to disperse. For them, entering the Universe Alliance felt like finding a safe haven amidst the chaos. It was a welcome relief.Adrian and his companions were about to leave as well, but Bryn called out, "Mr. Adrian, please follow me.""Me? Why?" Adrian asked.Bryn smiled and said, "Because you are a guest from Purecastle."It seemed the Universe Alliance was aware of their arrival—or rather, they had
