“Excalibur…” “Is that the legendary Excalibur? Legend has it that only the Soul of Knights can unsheathe Excalibur. Has Koehler surpassed the Divine Knight and become a Knight’s Soul?” “My god… The Knight’s Soul…” “This is unbelievable!” … The crowd burst into an uproar the moment Koehler pulled out Excalibur. They stood up and looked at him in reverence like a god. Lucjan observed Koehler in silence, sensing the fluctuation of energy radiating from him. “Eighth-rank…” His face was expressionless. He was not surprised at all that Koehler was an eighth-rank grandmaster. Hearing the uproar, James murmured, “To think that that old man has crossed into the eighth rank… The Knight’s Soul… Is this what it’s called in the West?” Upon witnessing this, Thea remained expressionless. She smiled scornfully. “Is that all?” In mid-air, Koehler’s aura grew stronger. Even though he possessed the Knight’s Soul, he was nearing his end. For vengeance, he had no choice but to use al
Excalibur and the epee clashed. Powerful forces collided, and a ripple-like wave reverberated through the mountains. The entire region was affected by the battle. Mountains collapsed and the earth shook. Many martial artists had retreated from Mount Olympus. Only a few who were confident in their abilities remained. James was among them. Though the ripple effects of the battle were destructive, he was an eighth-rank grandmaster too. He was not affected by it whatsoever. A fierce battle raged on in the sky. Armed with an epee, Lucjan clashed with Koehler who was holding Excalibur in his hand. Even though the epee was duller, it possessed terrifying destructive power. Gradually, Koehler who was holding Excalibur in his hand lost ground. “Die!” Lucjan roared. He appeared behind Koehler at lightning speed, and his epee radiated a hundred lights. Then, the lights converged in an instant, and he swiftly struck Koehler’s back. As Koehler’s reflexes were duller, he was struck by the
James could tell Koehler’s condition in a single glance. Although he was gaining ground and he demonstrated greater power than before, James knew that he had used up all of his strength. After this battle, no matter if he won or lost, his organs would decay. He could only live for an additional three months at most. James paid no heed to it and continued spectating the battle. Lucjan also knew what Koehler was up to. Even at full strength, Koehler could not defeat him. However, as he had other matters to attend to after this battle, he did not go all out against Koehler but instead dodge his attacks to conserve his strength. The fierce battle raged on in the sky. Holding Excalibur in his hand, Koehler struck furiously. Lucjan began losing ground. However, this only lasted for ten minutes. After ten minutes, Koehler’s strength began to falter.At that moment, Lucjan struck. He seized the opportunity and appeared behind Koehler in an instant. Then, he slashed his arm with the
“Could they be from the Vampire clan?” James furrowed his eyebrows. The Vampire clan was mysterious. As for the specifics, James had no idea. Since the Gu Sect left the Vampire clan alone, there were only two possibilities. The first one was that Lucjan was fearful of them. James found this hard to believe. In that case, only a single possibility remained: Lucjan had allied with the Vampire clan. Upon thinking about this, James’ expression turned grim. Fwoosh! In the blink of an eye, James appeared in mid-air and looked at Lucjan who was holding an epee in his hand. Wearing an expressionless look, he uttered word by word, “Sect Leader Lucjan Owen, you went to great lengths to come to Mount Olympus. What are you up to?” Now that James was high up in the air, he could see that almost every martial artist on Mount Olympus had been abducted. Even Archbishop Polaris and the rest of the Polaris Sect were taken away. Looking at James, a mischievous grin crept up on Lucjan’s face
Lucjan was a bit fearful of the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect. He did not wish to engage in a battle to the death with her at this moment. However, Thea ignored him. She only wanted to kill Lucjan. He was the Sect Leader of the Gu Sect and James’ greatest enemy. If she allowed him to return to Sol alive, he would cause endless trouble for James. Clenching the sheathed Malevolent Sword, she exuded a powerful aura. Back then, during the Mount Thunder Conference where she was covered in the Spirit Turtle’s blood, her blood had blended with the creature’s. Now, her blood contained terrifying power. All this while, she had been cultivating hard, converting the power inside her blood into True Energy. In the Frosty Swamp of Medical Valley, she came across the Book of Malice by a pleasant coincidence. Through the Book of Malice, she cultivated Demonic Breath and Murderous Energy. Demonic Breath absorbed the True Frost Energy of Spiritual Palm, and her True Energy reached even grea
Meanwhile, Thea seized the opportunity and chased after Lucjan. James was no match for Lucjan after being poisoned. However, the Blood Emperor stopped Thea in her tracks once more. “Damn it!” She cursed. Then, she performed another attack. This time, the Blood Emperor did not dodge. Instead, he deflected Thea’s attack. His martial art was rather intriguing. Although Thea had concentrated True Energy, she could not deal any damage to him. The battle raged on in the sky. Below… James sat in a lotus position on a rock and inspected his condition. He realized that there was a Gu inside his blood. Upon catalyzing True Energy, the Gu would begin tearing away at his flesh, which caused him excruciating pain. At that moment, Lucjan appeared before James. He looked at James, whose face was pale, and a grin crept up on his face. “James, I didn’t want to finish you off that early. However, you appeared at Mount Olympus and made an enemy of me. I have no choice…” His face darkene
“Hey!” James shouted. However, Thea had already left. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from his view. Furrowing his eyebrows, James muttered, “Who is the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect? Why did he save me multiple times? Could it be Grandpa?” James immediately thought of his grandfather, Thomas Caden. The thought flashed through his mind, but he shook his head. He could smell a fragrance on that person. Besides, her skin was soft and smooth. Although she was wearing a mask, she had long black hair. Theoretically, she should be a young woman. “Who could it be?” James could not figure out the identity of the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader. He did not even think of Thea. After all, this was simply too unbelievable. However, he can be sure of one thing─she was impudent. So impudent, in fact, that she returned to exterminate Lucjan Owen and the First Blood Emperor who was ranked first on the Elysian Ranking. Since he was concerned about the Sect Leader of the Celestial
The Blood Emperor did not dare receive her blow and hurriedly dodged. Holding the epee in hand, Lucjan charged over to him and cried out, “Use all of your strength. Or else, we won’t be able to defeat the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader.” “Got it.” The Blood Emperor shouted. A red glow emerged from his palm and formed a long red sword. Holding the sword in his hand, he attacked Thea from behind. The fierce battle raged on. With the Spirit Turtle’s power, the Demonic Sword Art, the Demonic Breath, and her Murderous Energy, Thea managed to stand her ground against two of the most powerful figures in the world. On a rock in the distance, an elderly man wearing a white robe sat. He watched the battle from afar. Seeing the masked Thea and the Malevolent Sword she wielded, his expression was solemn, “The Malevolent Sword… Who is the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect? Is it Thea?” The man was none other than Thomas Caden. He was currently at the peak of late-stage eighth ra
