Sky arrived at the entrance to the mausoleum.However, his path was blocked by a stone wall.“Damn it,” he hissed.He concentrated his True Energy and slammed his palm into the stone wall before him.King Quavon had instructed his servants to specially build this stone wall. It took them countless years of painstaking effort to construct it with unique materials. Although Sky had ascended the peak of the Sixth Stair, he could not break the wall.“There must be some sort of mechanism.”After he let out his frustrations on the wall, he calmed down and began to look for the mechanism. He searched for a long time but to no avail.Before he could find the mechanism to open the stone wall, a figure approached him.It was Thomas who had also rushed to the scene.Thomas immediately noticed that Sky was searching around for something. He walked over, glanced at him, and asked, “What’s going on?”Sky replied, “I was a little too late. The Blithes have already entered King Quavon’s Ma
The two decided to return to the starting point.However, they failed to reach the labyrinth’s starting point even after passing through several stone chambers.“This is strange. I don’t remember going past so many stone chambers when we first entered this place. I’m following the direction we traveled earlier, so how is this happening?”Tapio said solemnly, “The labyrinth seems to be playing tricks with our psyche. It only seemed like we were returning through the same path, but we’re actually going deeper inside.”“Then, which stone chamber are we at right now?”James took out the floor plan and tried to identify their location.Tapio shrugged and said, “How would I know?”“What should we do?”Tapio racked his brains for a plan.“I know!” Tapio shouted out of the blue.“Hmm?”James looked at him in confusion.Tapio walked toward James.Then, he whispered, “James…”James paid close attention to his words.Suddenly, Tapio thrust his palm at James’ chest.Tapio had asc
Tapio left.After passing a few stone chambers, he met up with another person.It was none other than Tyrus.“Master,” Tapio greeted him respectfully.“How did it go?”Tyrus had his hands behind his back.Tapio replied, “James is a little arrogant and trusts others too easily. He lets his guard down once he trusts someone. He was still wary of Donovan but completely let his guard down with me. I managed to hit him with a sneak attack using my full strength.”“Mhm.”Tyrus gave a small nod and said, “It’s because he’s become one of the greatest martial artists in this world before hitting his thirties. It’s not surprising that he’d get a little full of himself and overconfident. This will teach him to be more cautious in the future.”“Master, is there a reason you’re looking out for James?” asked Tapio.Others may not have been aware of that, but Tapio knew everything.The reason James could always turn the tide in dangerous situations while fighting in the Southern Plains for
“Is that all you’re capable of?”While James was upset about the situation, a voice spoke out, and the stone door behind him was pushed open.Tapio walked over.While walking over, he stopped and said, “Don’t attack me, James. I have no ill intentions. I was simply using it as an opportunity to teach you not to trust others. If I was really set on killing you, I’d have done it while you were still injured. Why would I leave you there? Don’t you agree?” He explained with a smile.However, he was greeted with another lash of powerful Sword Energy.Tapio quickly clung to the stone wall to dodge James’ attacks.The stone walls were robust. James' current strength was not enough to break the walls and could only leave deep cuts on it at most.“James, calm down! I can lead you out of this underground labyrinth. Stop attacking and listen to me first,” Tapio tried to reason with him while dodging the attacks.After James let off some steam, he felt much of his anger subside. He stop
The First Sword Art was an unstoppable technique.James was terrified of its potential.It would spell disaster for the world if this technique was taught to someone who had evil intentions.Therefore, he had no choice but to destroy it.In order to learn the First Sword Art, one would have to meet a number of extremely rigorous requirements.First, one would need to understand the intricacies of swordsmanship.This requirement was equivalent to mastering the Fourteen Heavenly Swords and Polaris Sword Art’s singularity.Only those who have reached such heights are qualified to practice this amazing sword technique.James was apprehensive.The strength of the technique alone was enough to terrify him.Haaah!After destroying the sword technique’s records, James let out a deep sigh of relief.He had already memorized it.It had ingrained itself too deeply in his mind.After destroying the records, he finally remembered the situation he was in. He was in a dangerous place an
Sky was narcissistic and arrogant.He ascended the Sixth Stair of the Skyward Stairway and was the closest one among everyone present to becoming a ninth-rank grandmaster.Thomas was the only person on par with him.The others were no match for him.If it were not for Thomas restraining him, everyone present would be unable to beat him, even with their combined might.Sky fought fiercely against three opponents—Donovan, Tanner, and Simon.Meanwhile, Thomas was also locked in battle against two opponents—Maha of the Sylvan Sect and Waylon, the owner of Divine Sword Villa.Despite fighting against multiple opponents, Sky and Thomas both had the upper hand.Apart from Sky and Thomas, everyone else was injured.Donovan sustained the most and was in a miserable state since he was only in the middle phase of the eighth rank. Blood dribbled from his lips, and one of his arms was barely attached to his shoulder.Sky quickly made his move and thrust his palm at Simon.Simon was well
Everyone’s minds were occupied with different thoughts.Thomas and Sky agreed to allow James to acquire the Novenary Golden Pill for them.He walked toward the secret door.Under everyone’s watchful gazes, James stood before the door.He simply attempted to push it open.There was no mechanism attached to the door, but the door itself was heavy, weighing about several hundred kilograms. It would have been impossible to open without using True Energy.Slowly, the door swung open slowly.The dust inside was kicked up by the gust of fresh air entering the room.James raised his hand to fan it away.He walked inside.The space inside was relatively small, measuring only ten square meters. On the stone wall were some small stone boxes.He walked over and opened them one by one.Unfortunately, every box he opened was empty except until he reached the last one.He opened the last stone box and found a small crystal bottle within.James’ heart leaped in joy and excitement after d
James walked over to Simon and stopped before him.He looked at the injured Simon.When he was in Mount Thunder Sect, Simon had given him their sect’s Sacred Wine, which allowed his strength to skyrocket.Back when Lucjan was hunting him down, Simon defended James and protected him with his life.It stood to reason that James still had a good impression of Simon.When he saw Simon injured, he wanted to treat him.Immediately, a steel wire slipped out of James’ sleeve.The steel wire disintegrated into needles.James held onto Crucifier and attempted to treat Simon’s injuries.“W-What’re you trying to do?”Simon stared at James warily.James replied, “No matter what kind of person you’ve become, you’ve saved me in the past. Today, I’ll treat your injuries to repay your kindness.”After speaking, James began preparations to use Crucifier.Simon believed in James’ character, so he did not refuse or have other significant concerns about the treatment.James inserted a needle
