Already weakened, he knew that if he didn’t restore himself soon, he might face grave danger.The old man valued his life immensely. The higher one’s strength, the more one treasured their existence. At his age, the fear of death only intensified.As the old man sat cross-legged, he laid the Soul Devouring Sword beside him. From a distance, Adrian stared at the sword intently. Its blood-red glow shimmered ominously.Faintly, a wave of evil power radiated from the sword, but to Adrian, it appeared as an extraordinary treasure. If he could obtain this sword, it would significantly enhance his strength.His top priority was to eliminate the old man.

Now you can taste my might,” he taunted.It was clear the old man was deliberately provoking Adrian, seeking to draw out his anger. Adrian’s expression darkened, realizing this old fool was truly courting death.Filled with rage, Adrian knew he couldn’t expose himself too easily. He had to think carefully about his next move. One misstep could lead to defeat at the hands of this old man.Adrian recognized the gravity of the situation. The old man was as terrifying as he seemed, and

Adrian found the situation unbearable. He had no idea what was happening, wondering if this really was the end for him. He was using every bit of his strength, yet it was futile. With just a wave of his hand, the old man effortlessly pushed him back.The old man’s face twisted with disdain. "So this is brute strength? Did you actually think you were some kind of genius?" he mocked. "In the face of true power, everything else is just an empty flash. An illusion." The contempt in his eyes made it clear that Adrian was as good as dead.Adrian’s expression turned cold. He understood the reality now. He needed to get stronger. But he felt helpless. No matter how much he wanted to kill, to fight back, to grow in strength, it was just wishful thinking.His anger swelled. Even in his own consciousness, why couldn’t he defeat this old man? What was going on? Was it simply because his opponent had reached the Divine Stage? The old man’s soul power was stronger, yes, but it shouldn’t have made

"You old geezer!" Adrian roared, his body trembling with fury.Even though he was in a soul state, the pain was excruciating, piercing through him like a physical wound.

His power was monstrous, neither human nor animal, and it made Adrian’s soul tremble uncontrollably. Was this the end for him?Adrian’s face turned pale. He didn’t know if this was truly his final moment, but he had no strength left

The old man became paralyzed and was sent flying by an overwhelming force, looking pitiful and miserable. This situation was utterly devastating for him."How is this possible? This power has already reached the Divine Stage!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.Despite the old man’s shock, Adrian’s gaze remained icy cold. "Can’t believe it? Did you really think I was weaker than you, old bastard?" he roared, anger boiling within him. His eyes filled with cold intent as he vowed to crush everything before him.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...The sea of consciousness trembled violently again, radiating a terrifying aura.
