Chapter 568

Cold sweat broke out all over Noel’s body, that gaze was far too terrifying, he stumbled a few steps back.

The battle had reached a boiling point, the air seemed to solidify, and every whisper of wind carried tension and unease.

The standoff between Adam, the Gavel family, and the cultivators was no longer a simple contest of strength, but a struggle between Adam and the so-called justice of the orthodox sects.

Since coming to this place, he hadn’t hurt anyone, he had only done good deeds, yet these people ignored all of that and just wanted to kill him, was this supposed to be justice?

“You keep insisting that I am a demon race remnant, but have you ever considered that true evil often wears the cloak of justice?” Adam’s voice echoed between heaven and earth, carrying sorrow and mockery.

He knew that although he wasn’t of the demon race, as an Evil God’s corrupted one, his existence was a massive threat to this world, but even so, he refused to be a sacrificial lamb arbitrarily defined by others, his heart was set entirely on goodness.

Suddenly, a woman in a white dress appeared before Adam.

“Zeon, you are not wrong, what is wrong is this world, they are all hypocrites, even if you kill them, you are not wrong.”

Her gentle voice rubbed bit by bit into Adam’s heart.

His eyes instantly turned crimson red, and his power grew even stronger.

The Patriarch’s face grew solemn, he sensed the extraordinary power within Adam, an existence that transcended the scope of his comprehension, he knew that if he couldn’t eliminate Adam today, there would be endless troubles ahead.

He took a deep breath, hands rapidly forming seals, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth responded to his call, converging into a massive fluctuation.

“Zeon, today I shall use the secret technique passed down for a thousand years in the Gavel family to slay you right here.”

The Patriarch’s figure shot up like an azure dragon emerging from the sea, carrying the momentum of toppling mountains as he lunged straight for Adam.

Adam’s gaze grew firmer, he knew this battle was unavoidable, the Evil God’s power within his body sensed its master’s resolve and surged frantically, his eyes turned increasingly blood-red, and a bizarre black-purple light wreathed his body, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding righteous energy.

“Come on, let me see if this so-called justice of yours can actually crush me.”

Adam roared, the wooden stick transformed into a black spear, its tip pointing at the heavens, as if intending to pierce through this hypocritical heaven and earth.

As the two clashed, the colors of heaven and earth changed.

The Patriarch’s secret technique and Adam’s Evil God’s power collided violently in mid-air, every clash was accompanied by deafening roars and dazzling light, the world felt as if it were about to be torn apart.

Everyone else had been reduced to mere foils, they could only watch.

Morwen stood to the side, tears swirling in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth, not making a sound, she believed in Adam, she believed he could overcome all difficulties.

As time passed, the battle entered a white-hot stage, relying on his understanding of the Evil God’s power, Adam gradually gained the upper hand, but the Patriarch was a leading figure in the cultivation world, his strength was unfathomable, and even at a disadvantage he could still erupt with astonishing combat power.

“Zeon, although you are powerful, evil can never prevail against the righteous, today is your dead end,” he brought out his final trump card, a spiritual treasure containing the Gavel family’s thousand years of inherited power.

“Myriad Miles Mountains and Rivers Cauldron.”

As soon as the treasure appeared, the colors of the world faded, a power capable of shaking mountains and rivers crushed down toward Adam.

Adam did not retreat, he let out a furious roar, the Evil God’s power boiling to the extreme, the black spear transformed into a bolt of black lightning and collided with the treasure.

Boom!

The explosion shook the cultivation world, when the smoke scattered, Adam stood holding his spear, his clothes were torn, but his gaze was even more resolute.

The Patriarch’s face was pale, and the light on the cauldron had dimmed, Adam had gained the upper hand.

The Patriarch’s expression grew gloomy, he had never expected a young man deemed a demon race remnant could contend with him to this extent, sweat slid down his forehead onto the dry ground, instantly evaporating, just like the unease in his heart.

“Zeon, you are indeed extraordinary…” His voice was hoarse, he knew continuing head-on would not end well.

But as the helmsman of the Gavel family, how could he easily admit defeat?

Right then, a trace of craftiness flashed through Noel’s eyes, he quietly retreated to Morwen’s side, and taking advantage of everyone being caught off guard, suddenly struck, he grabbed Morwen, pulling her in front of him, the sharp edge of his sword pressed against her neck, one light slice, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Stop,” Adam’s heart tightened, he roared furiously, the black spear lost its direction, its power dissipating along with it.

He knew Morwen was innocent, he could not let her become a sacrifice in this struggle.

“Zeon, if you dare move an inch, this girl’s life is over,” Noel laughed smugly, pressing the sword tip harder, a thin line of blood appeared on Morwen’s neck, she groaned softly, eyes full of helplessness and fear.

“Despicable,” Adam glared wide-eyed, the Evil God’s power was like boiling magma, ready to erupt.

But reason told him that impulse would only make things worse, he took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart.

“Young Master Noel, the grudge is between you and me, why drag an innocent person into this? Let her go, and we will fight a fair and square battle,” Adam’s voice was deep and powerful, every word seemed squeezed from between his teeth, brimming with absolute resolve and firmness.
