True Demonic Energy was a relatively gentle Yin energy that was cold in nature.It was precisely the opposite of James’ Heavenly Breath, which was an extreme Yang True Energy.Thea through of Cynthia.Cynthia’s True Energy was of a Yin nature too, and it complemented James' True Energy. She could practice the martial art manual recorded in the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge.Although she was reluctant about them practicing together, she could not help James with practicing the martial art manual.If she could cultivate Demonic Breath, she could practice the martial art manual recorded in the painting with James.Thinking of this, Thea was resolute.She began attempting to practice Demonic Breath.The cultivation method of Demonic Breath was similar to that of Heavenly Breath. Thea was already familiar with Heavenly Breath, and it took her half the effort to execute Demonic Breath.Thea began to practice Demonic Breath in the underground cavern.Meanwhile, James, who was
In the room, some church believers made tea and brought it over.The three sat together.“I’m afraid we have limited rooms, and the three of you will have to squeeze in a room tonight,” said the old man.“Sure, that won’t be a problem,” James replied casually. Then, he asked, “By the way, we’re from Sol and have never heard of St. Anne’s Church before. I’m incredibly interested in foreign cultures and was wondering if you could tell me about the history of your church?”“Oh, is that so? It’s already late, so the three of you should rest for the night. How about I tell you about our church tomorrow morning?”“Sure!”James did not say anything more.“Then, I hope you three have a good rest. I’ll leave you for the night.”The old man dressed like a magician with a red robe and hat bowed slightly and turned to leave.After he left, Henry asked, “James, did you notice anything?”“It’s a little strange.” James’ face darkened.“Strange?”Yelena looked at James perplexedly and as
James could hear a faint scream.After some analysis, he could tell it came from deep underground.Thus, he concluded that there was a secret underground basement built beneath the castle with many people imprisoned there.However, he could not be sure about the identity of the people imprisoned.He stood at the castle’s highest point and fell into thought. After some time, he decided to sneak into the underground basement since Delilah might still be there.He carefully scanned the castle’s surroundings to find the entrance to the underground basement.Despite looking for a long time, he could not find the entrance.He sat in a lotus position on the castle's highest point and closed his eyes. His mind cleared, and he began to sense his surroundings and the direction of the sound.There were many sounds entering his ears.Some voices were communicating within the castle, and he automatically tried to block out their conversation.Suddenly, he overheard a crucial conversation.
“That’s right.”“St. Anne’s Church has no grievances with martial artists of Sol. What do you mean by this?”“Are you sure there are no grievances?” James smirked, and his face darkened.He said coldly, “Then, let me ask you, was a pair of mother and daughter from Sol brought here two months ago?”The Archbishop’s face immediately changed.His expression gave James the answer he needed. He was sure that Delilah and her mother had been brought to the church.Suddenly, a potent energy erupted from him.With a flash, he appeared in front of the Archbishop instantly.He was fast, and before the Archbishop could react, a long sword was already pressed against his neck.James had drawn his sword and pressed it on the Archbishop’s neck.“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to live. I’ll ask questions, and you’ll answer, understand? If your answers don’t satisfy me, then don’t blame me for being merciless,” James threatened coldly.Fear arose in the Archbishop’s heart.The Archbi
It was James' first time learning about the Elysian Ranking.After learning it was the ranking of the strongest people in the world, he was slightly intrigued.He withdrew his sword and put it into its scabbard. Then, he asked, “I’m interested in this Elysian Ranking. Tell me more about it.”After putting away the Blade of Justice, James retracted his energy. The Archbishop finally felt much at ease.As for the old man in red, he did not even dare to breathe when James unleashed his energy. No longer suppressed by the force, he was relieved.However, his legs went rubber, and he fell to the ground, unable to get back to his feet.The Archbishop wiped the cold sweat on his face and looked at James.He could not help gasping. Despite hearing about the power of Sol’s martial artists, he had never been in contact with one before.He was flabbergasted after meeting one in person and forced himself to calm down.After a short while, he parted his lips and said, “The Elysian Congre
“Don’t worry. We don’t have any grievances with ancient marital artists of Sol. The person he’s looking for isn’t with me. I believe he won’t take action against me. I would’ve died immediately if he intended to take my life.”The Archbishop’s heart palpitated. James exhibited such terrifying strength. The Archbishop completely gave up fighting back.James' strength was definitely on par with the top three on the Elysian Ranking.However, he was not sure who would win if they went against each other.After James gathered the information he needed, he quickly returned to the room.He pushed open the door and walked in. Yelena, who was lying in bed, turned around and got up. She stared at James, who had entered the room, and asked, “How was it? What did you find out?”Henry also looked at James, waiting for his answer.James walked into the room, sat down, and lit a cigarette. Then, he replied, “I interrogated the Archbishop of St. Anne’s Church and learned about the existence
The Archbishop did not dare to refuse James.He personally led James to the underground basement of St. Anne’s Castle.The dungeon's entrance was inconspicuous and would only be possible to find with someone leading the way.Many people guarded the dungeon entrance.James could feel a relatively strong aura from the guards, and it was evident they were not ordinary people.“Archbishop.”The guards knelt and greeted him uniformly as soon as the Archbishop showed up.The Archbishop’s expression was gloomy, and he did not dare to speak to his subordinates. He turned to look at James helplessly and said, “My honored guest, this really has nothing to do with me. I only keep them here temporarily…”“Stop spouting nonsense and continue leading the way.”“Yes, of course. Please follow me.”Soon, James was led by the Archbishop deep into the underground basement.The underground basement was dark and damp. Countless iron prisons were built, and many people were detained in them.The
The trio headed to the airport and hurriedly bought plane tickets to a city near Mount Olympus. At daybreak, they arrived at Olympia, a renowned and cosmopolitan city in Durandal. In Olympia, a presidential suite in a five-star hotel… James was sitting in a lotus position in the living room. A particular energy swirled around him. Under its influence, even the air froze. “James, what are we going to do next? Are we just going to sit idly by here?” Looking at James, Henry asked, “What should we do about the military exchange between the two countries?” James opened his eyes and said calmly, “The military exchange is merely an excuse. Nothing will change even if we go. There are only a few more days before the International Martial Arts Conference. I plan to use what remaining time I have to have a closed-door meditation.” “Mhm.” Henry nodded and said nothing. James would now reside here temporarily. The hotel he resided in was half a day away from Mount Olympus by car. I
