Thea was curious to see who was stronger ─ Her or James? James, on the other hand, had no interest in competing whatsoever. “Of course you’re going to be the stronger one. You’re the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader!” James said smilingly. “Boring…” Thea was instantly disinterested. As they ascended the mountain, they happily chit-chatted away. Soon, they arrived at the gates of Divine Sword Villa. As many invitation letters were sent, Divine Sword Villa was crowded with people outside. Meanwhile, Divine Sword Villa’s disciples were inspecting the letters. Only those with a valid invitation letter would be allowed passage. Upon arriving, James and Thea immediately became the star of the show. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on them, especially Thea. Wearing a black dress, her delicate figure, her curvaceous figure, and her long silver hair, only accentuated her beauty. “Thea Callahan, Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect…” “James Caden…” “I didn’t expect them to be here. If they
James knew little about Dragonslayer. Although that was his plan, he would simply leave everything to fate. “James, I think it’s possible,” Callan said excitedly. “Waylon once told me that only a man of upright character can wield it. I think you should give it a try. I’ll lend you a helping hand.” As he said that, he looked at Thea. “With Thea, the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader, by your side, your chance of obtaining Dragonslayer is above ninety-five percent.” “We’ll see.” James did not rush things. After all, he still had three more days. “Wait here. I’ll go outside and have a look at the martial artists that have arrived.” Callan turned to leave. Meanwhile, James and Thea waited patiently in the room. After approximately twenty minutes, Callan was back. “Not bad…” Callan said as he pushed the door open. “I saw many powerful martial artists.” Intrigued, James asked, “Who came?” “Your grandfather, Thomas, and Simon Cabral of the Mount Thunder Sect are here. Some o
Whoosh! As the furnace exploded, Dragonslayer suddenly radiated a red glow that soared upwards and illuminated the pitch-black sky. “What a terrifying aura…” “A divine sword is born.” The moment the explosion happened, everyone rushed out of their accommodation. When they saw the red glow and the terrifying aura, they could not help but exclaim. “As expected of a divine sword forged for a millennium.” “Hahaha! This sword will be fine!” Laughter boomed. Then, a figure charged toward the mountain. At the same time, James and Thea rushed out of their rooms. The moment they ran out of the house, they saw the red glow which soared to the sky. “What a terrifying aura…” Thea exclaimed. At that moment, the Malevolent Sword in her hands began shivering. The same happened to James’ Blade of Justice, which shook violently as if invigorated by a powerful force. “I-I’m about to lose control of the Malevolent Sword!” Thea exclaimed. “A fierce battle is about to break out here
”That’s James’ sword.” “I can see that. But what’s going on? Why has James’ sword merged with Dragonslayer?” Many were stunned upon seeing the two swords merging. Wearing a grim expression on his face, Waylon stared at the two swords in the sky. He murmured, “Could James’ sword be the sword King Quavon forged?” A Sect Elder of Divine Sword Villa asked, “Waylon, do you know what’s going on here?” Waylon explained, “The sword forged by King Quavon, which was called the Primordial Sword, was forged using Ascenium Steel. Meanwhile, Dragonslayer was forged using a form of quartz steel. Based on Divine Sword Villa’s ancient texts, the quartz steel was left behind when King Quavon forged the Primordial Sword. If that’s the case, it is possible for the two swords to merge as one. However, this begs the question: Why?” The merging of the two swords exceeded Waylon’s expectations. Since Dragonslayer was complete, it only needed the blood of powerful martial artists to gain strength.
Now, however, he could not even control a sword. Upon seeing Sky making a move, the others scrambled to seize control of the sword. In the blink of an eye, many came to blows as they approached the sword. Boom! A deafening blast of True Energy reverberated throughout Divine Sword Villa, and the mountain range shook violently. James did not act recklessly. Instead, he remained where he stood and watched Dragonslayer levitate in mid-air. He had no idea whether the sword was Dragonslayer or the Blade of Justice. Regardless, he felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the sword. Callan appeared before James and asked, “What are you standing there for, James? This is the perfect opportunity to strike!” James looked at the sky. At that moment, a fierce battle had broken out. Whoever approached the sword would be targeted by the masses. This, ironically, created a situation where no one dared to approach the sword. “There’s no need to rush things. Let’s just watch the show for
Looking at the two-meter-long Dragonslayer glimmering a golden light, James could sense enormous power radiating from the sword as he approached it. As he reached out to grab the sword… “Mine!” A deafening roar came from afar. Radiating a powerful aura, Sky charged toward him at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the region James was in. Callan stepped forward and blocked Sky’s path, and the two clashed. Since Callan was the comparatively weaker one of the two, he was sent flying. He vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed heavily to the ground. Holding the Malevolent Sword in her hand, Thea performed the Demonic Sword Art. Then, she charged toward Sky and slashed with her sword. James, on the other hand, paid no heed to the battle. As long as Thea was there, no one could approach him. Then, he grabbed Dragonslayer. At that moment, powerful energy surged through his body. As the energy merged with Dragonslayer, there was an explosion. Thea and S
The moment Sky made contact with Dragonslayer, however, the sword suddenly emanated a powerful aura that made him stagger backward. Even though he had reached the peak of the Sixth Stair and was close to ascending the Seventh Stair, he could not suppress the sword. Dragonslayer simply returned to James’ hand. James caressed the sword as he murmured gently, “What a fine sword…” Below, a grin crept up on Thomas’ face when he saw this, and he said, “Looks like the time has come for us to slay a dragon.” Everything was within his calculations. He never thought that James would seize control of Dragonslayer. Based on his initial plans, he intended to give the sword to the Blood Race. However, since James now controlled the sword, he would certainly be slaying a dragon in the near future. Thomas did not linger for long and turned to leave. Upon seeing Dragonslayer fall into James’ hands and how even Sky could not wield it effectively, the others reluctantly gave up. Even if they co
”Do you also know about the origins of the Blade of Justice?” James looked at Waylon puzzledly. Waylon nodded and said, “I didn’t know anything at all in the beginning. I only managed to come to this conclusion upon seeing the two swords merge into one.” “Huh?” James momentarily froze before asking, “What do you mean?” Waylon explained, “That’s because the two swords are made out of the same material. A long time ago, King Quavon obtained a piece of Ascenium Steel and summoned the world’s best blacksmiths to forge the Primordial Sword. Meanwhile, Dragonslayer of Divine Sword Villa was forged using the leftover material of the Primordial Sword. Although a few other materials were used during the forging process, Ascenium Steel remained its core.” “I see…” Realization dawned on James’ face. “By the way…” As if reminded of something, Waylon looked at James and asked, “Legend has it that the Primordial Sword comes along with the First Sword Art. Did you receive it too?” J
