Adrian shook his head in mild exasperation, feeling Tyron had underestimated the power of this technique. If humans struggled to detect such "tricks," then the daemons might indeed cause chaos.Only now did Adrian understand how the daemons had remained so elusive. Without grasping the methods behind these hidden techniques, they were nearly impossible to detect.Suddenly, a thunderous boom erupted from afar as someone launched an assault on the barrier. The attacker’s impatience reached a peak as he bellowed, “Damn it!”Adrian watched, mild disbelief on his face, as the person hammered recklessly at the barrier. I was as though he believed he could shatter it by force. Yet, the barrier was formidable and would not yield easily.The barrier shuddered under the relentless assault, seeming almost ready to break. The crowd looked on in astonishment, their eyes widening as they held their breath, shocked that the supposedly impenetrable barrier might actually give way.Then, a deafeni

The young man was consumed by rage at the figure's menacing demand, fully aware that only torment and death awaited him. "I refuse! You’ll suffer for this!" he shouted defiantly, launching himself forward.Suddenly, torrents of lightning rained down with a deafening roar. The chaotic destruction was swift, and the young man was obliterated before the horrified onlookers could even react. The terrifying force left no room for resistance or escape. By the time they grasped what had happened, it was too late.A heavy silence followed as the leading Divine glowered, his dissatisfaction palpable. “If you won’t step forward yourselves, I’ll select you,” he growled coldly. “Allies, help me send these feeble souls to the front.”As his voice faded, threads of power emerged in his grasp, and those nearby nodded in agreement, deciding that the weaker ones should serve as the first line of defense. The singled-out individuals tried to resist in terror, but their cries went unheard.“If you

The crowd longed for the hidden power to emerge and speak.In the midst of the tension, another Divine could no longer restrain himself. “Hmph! You’re just in the middle Divine Stage. What right do you have to shout so boldly? Do you truly think you’re invincible? Sending these people to their deaths is a crime against humanity.”“Their lives are worth no more than weeds,” the first Divine retorted, his expression turning icy. “You’re also at the middle Divine Stage. Even if we fought, it would be difficult to determine a clear victor. If you wish to die for these people, feel free to step forward. I won’t stop you. But if you don’t want to, then keep quiet. I’m sure everyone wants to see what lies within this ancient tomb.”The opposing Divine’s anger flared at the first Divine’s defiance. “Are you really sure this is the ancient tomb? In such a wicked place, with thunder crashing down from the void, we might all turn to ashes. What purpose does it serve to send these innocent peop

Observing the scene, Adrian understood that a powerful treasure likely lay hidden within the mountain range ahead. However, obtaining it would come at a steep cost. To stand out among so many people, one would need extraordinary strength and resilience. Without them, approaching the area would be foolish. This situation hinted at an imminent bloodbath. With a plan forming in his mind, Adrian decided he would strike boldly if the others hesitated to move forward.After witnessing a powerful expert being dealt with effortlessly, everyone fell silent. Though they had a clear path ahead, fear held them back. They all hoped someone else would make the first move and open the way. Everyone exchanged glances, looking at one another to see who would go first.Suddenly, thunder boomed and bolts of divine lightning struck down. A Divine who had ventured too close was instantly reduced to ashes, his soul vanishing from existence with no chance of reincarnation. Seeing this, the crowd was stri

Riiiiip!The next second, the barrier before them tore open, revealing a massive rift. Through it, the crowd could glimpse a vast passageway shimmering with the glow of hidden treasures. The sight was a powerful temptation.Some people, overcome by greed, raced forward. They hoped to be the first to seize what lay beyond. One figure darted ahead, moving with astonishing speed, but as he neared the entrance, a bolt of divine lightning struck down from above.Boom!The devastating lightning, as heavy as a mountain, smashed into the man and flung him back with a thunderous impact. His rash attempt at gaining an advantage ended in ruin. He was blasted apart, leaving behind nothing but scattered remnants that were swiftly absorbed by the barrier.“Serves him right!” someone spat angrily.The dead man’s selfishness had sealed his fate. The gruesome scene left the crowd on edge. The barrier was more sinister and terrifying than they had imagined. Even the smallest misstep could result i
