As dragon blood was the only thing that could save Thea’s life, James had no other choice. He did not wish to lose her. For her, he would go to the ends of the earth. “And your strength?” Thomas said, “I’m simply worried that you might be in danger when slaying the dragon.” James smiled and said, “Worry not, my strength isn’t beneath yours.” “True, you’ve obtained the Novenary Golden Pill, after all. You must have consumed the pill now that a year has passed. So, have you crossed into the ninth rank?” James smiled bitterly and said, “How could that be? History would be full of ninth-ranked grandmasters if it were that easy.” “That’s true.” The two conversed in whispers. Ten minutes passed. However, no one dared step forward. James furrowed his eyebrows. This could not go on. He said goodbye to Thomas and walked over to Sky, asking, “Ten minutes have passed. Yet, no one is stepping forward. Are you really not going?” “Nope.” Sky said, “I don’t have a death wish
The Hellfire Sword was a world-renowned sword that belonged to the founder of the Polaris Sect. Legend had it that the sword was forged using quartz steel formed deep beneath a volcano. The quartz steel only came into existence during a volcano eruption that took place a long time ago. After the great efforts of many blacksmiths, the Hellfire Sword was born. The sword was candescent, just like a soldering iron. The moment it was unsheathed, its temperature would climb rapidly. The Hellfire Sword was also a renowned divine sword in history that was ranked fourth among all divine swords. Zekiel became the new owner of Hellfire Sword after he discovered the Hellfire Sword in the holy site of the Polaris Sect. Although he was unremarkable, this sword allowed him to unleash a power that far surpassed his strength. Holding the Hellfire Sword in his hand, he looked at James with a bright smile, seemingly trying to boast that he had such a divine sword in his possession. Though James k
At that moment, the Hellfire Sword radiated a blinding sword light, and destructive power gushed forward. James smiled faintly as he raised the Primordial Dragon Blade to resist the Sword Energy. The moment he deflected the Sword Energy, Zekiel moved at an extraordinary speed and appeared behind James. Then, the Hellfire Sword pierced through James’ body. “What?” The crowd exclaimed. “Is James defeated?” Just as everyone thought that James was defeated, his body that was pierced through began to disintegrate. “I-It’s an afterimage!” “He moves so fast that only an afterimage remains!” Zekiel was stunned. Just as he was stunned, a sword was pressed against his back. He turned stiffly. James was pointing the Primordial Dragon Blade at him. After momentarily freezing for a few seconds, he recollected himself and said smilingly, “You truly are impressive, James. I admit defeat.” Zekiel conceded defeat. He was no match for James. If James fought seriously, he woul
James had heard of this man from Sky. The Spirit Master was a man who walked the earth for two hundred years. All this while, he had been living a life of seclusion and avoiding contact with the outside world, even during the battle against the Spirit Turtle at the Mount Thunder Sect. Now, he had shown himself. Sky told him that the Spirit Master was at least at the Fifth Stair. Not only that, but he was extremely well-trained in martial arts. After all, someone who spent two centuries studying a single martial art would be a terrifying being. Unless, of course, he was a mediocre man. However, if he were a mediocre man, he would not have gained such strength. James stared at the Spirit Master. He was so ordinary-looking that he could blend into the crowd in any setting. The Spirit Master walked toward James with a sword on his back. As he approached James, the sword on his back was suddenly unsheathed, and he caught it flawlessly. The sword was rather ordinary-looking as well.
James slashed with his sword and materialized Sword Energy burst forth. The Spirit Master’s reflexes were agile. In an instant, he appeared twenty meters in the air. Boom! A huge crater appeared on the ground. However, the Sword Energy pressed forward and created a hole a hundred meters deep. From the damage alone, one could see James’ strength. At that moment, James sensed a terrifying aura coming from above him. He lifted his head. The Spirit Master charged down from above with his sword in hand. Before he even arrived, the terrifying Sword Energy surged forward and struck James. James’ surroundings shattered into pieces. However, he was unafraid. He simply charged upward and met the Spirit Master’s attack. The two swords clashed. As James was comparatively stronger, the Spirit Master was sent flying. At that moment, thirteen waves of Sword Energy burst forth and charged toward him. Before the Spirit Master could recollect himself, thirteen waves of Sword Energy were
No one managed to catch a glimpse of what had happened. Even figures such as Thomas and Sky could not understand what had happened. They could only vaguely see James slashing with his sword. Then, a sword light glimmered before slicing the Spirit Master’s sword in half and the Spirit Master was sent flying. The arena was dead silent. Everyone held their breath as they looked at James who was standing before the rubble. At that moment, James’ sword had already returned to its sheath. In the distance, Jackson asked, “Delainey, did you manage to see James’ sword technique?” Delainey shook her head and said, “I couldn’t see anything.” Stunned, Jackson said, “I didn’t expect him to become this strong. The Spirit Master was a renowned figure even two centuries ago. Back in those days, no one stood a chance against him. I never expected him to face defeat.” On the battlefield… The Spirit Master slowly crawled up from the rubble. At that moment, his hair was disheveled, and t
At that moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard. An elderly man wearing a black robe walked toward the arena. With every step he took, the ground trembled. The rumbling of the earth caused weaker martial artists to stagger backward and fall. As Delainey possessed weaker strength, she would have collapsed to the ground if not for Jackson holding on to her. “Who is that?” “What a powerful aura…” “He must be someone powerful.” Everyone was stunned upon seeing the man. It was Sergio, one of the most powerful individuals of the Blood Race. Though he moved rather slowly to the mortal eye, his speed was in fact extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before James and slowly removed his hat. Looking at James, he beckoned him. “Defeat me and you’ll be the most powerful man in the world. Defeat me and you’ll obtain the dragon’s blood and information on the dragon’s whereabouts.” In the blink of an eye, James appeared on the battlefield. Sergio followed close
The Blithe Fist of Abomination was unparalleled in the world. In just over a year, James managed to cultivate the Tenth Fist with ease. “The Tenth Fist, Annihilation…” James suddenly appeared thirty meters in the air radiating a golden light. This was a manifestation of True Energy seeping out of his body. An illusory handprint materialized in his palm and gradually increased in size. Soon, a palm a hundred meters in length as huge as a mountain came crashing from the sky. Sensing the incoming danger, Sergio hurriedly dodged. However, the attack was too swift. Besides, when James performed the Tenth Fist of the Blithe Fist of Abomination, space and time seemed to be frozen in place. Sergio’s speed and movement were severely restricted as if he shouldered the weight of a million tonnes. Even taking a single step forward required great strength. “Infinite Samsara!” Sergio raised his arms over his head, and apertures appeared in his palm. The apertures were slowly dispersed in
