Thea had no plans of absorbing the remaining Phoenix Essence. That was because she wanted James to reach even greater heights. Delainey, who had absorbed some of the Phoenix Essence, also had her True Energy boosted. Now, she believed she had gathered enough power to cross into the ninth rank. “The same goes for me, James.” “Mhm.” James nodded. Greater energy would be needed at later stages of cultivation. Hence, the remaining Phoenix Essence should only be enough for James alone to break the third shackle. James continued cultivating. Meanwhile, since the ladies had nothing else to do, they chose to leave and head to Dragonville. Soon, two months passed. James had been in a closed-door meditation on Mount Thunder Pass for almost six months now. His strength had drastically increased. One night on Mount Bane… Boom! Thunder struck an old tree and disintegrated it. However, at that moment, a seed began to germinate and flourish at the roots of the tree. Almost immed
Even if he stood no chance against them, he had to go regardless. Perhaps he might gain something out of this. “Let’s go.” After brief contemplation, he stood up and said with determination in his eyes, “No matter what, I have to go.” “Mhm.” Thea nodded. Soon, the two hurriedly left. Upon returning to Dragonville, James stored the remaining Phoenix Essence away and boarded a private plane headed to Mount Bane alongside Thea. The trip to Mount Bane only took three hours. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was only eleven in the morning. Currently, a thin mist enveloped the mountain range. At the same time, the mist radiated a glimmering light. James knew that this light came from the magical-looking statue. Meanwhile, a purple light could be seen at a place not too far away. Although they were a distance away from Mount Bane, James could still sense the alluring fragrance and the powerful energy imbued in it. A single sniff was enough to make one lose concen
With the occurrence of the bizarre phenomenon at Mount Bane, Juniper Waseem, the Grand Priestess of the Void Sect, knew that something magical was born. Although she knew that she would not stand a chance against Conrad, she came regardless. She surmised that he would not dare go all-out against her. Even if she perished in battle, Conrad would be gravely injured. This would provide the earthlings an opportunity to strike. Thus, Juniper was unafraid when faced with Conrad. She exuded a powerful aura as she looked death calmly in the face. Holding a sword in her hand, she pointed it at Conrad and said coldly, “Come at me, Conrad. We couldn’t fight to our heart’s content the last time we fought. Let me see how powerful you really are!” Conrad’s face darkened as he looked at her. He had not expected her to return to Mount Bane. He knew about Juniper’s strength when he fought against her last time. Since she was only comparatively weaker, he would surely suffer grave injuries in th
“Does that mean that both the Void Sect’s Grand Priestess and Conrad Titus are on Mount Bane?” “Mhm.” James nodded and said, “You’re correct.” Langston was lost in thought. He would have ascended the mountain without hesitation if there was only a single opponent up there. After all, he stood no chance against the combined strength of two martial artists at the Supernatural rank. He scanned his surroundings. Upon noticing that the Omniscient Deity was nowhere to be seen, he could not help but ask, “Is the Omniscient Deity here?” James said, “I have been waiting here since noon yesterday. However, there’s no sign of him.” “We’ll wait here, then.” Langston said, “ Mount Bane is where the seal is located, so the Omniscient Deity must be paying close attention to the events unfolding here. He will definitely come.” Langston was confident that the Omniscient Deity would arrive soon. More and more people gradually arrived. “Hahaha! Hey there, James!” Laughter boomed in the
No one dared to utter a single word. Langston could fight against a Supernatural by himself, but the other Supernatural could annihilate them all with ease. Just as everyone was silent, Tyrus spoke, “I’ve already broken the third shackle.” Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. Half a year ago, Langston brought back the Phoenix Essence and some phoenix blood after slaying the Phoenix. Though James was given the Phoenix Essence, Tyrus had been in closed-door meditation over the past six months absorbing the enormous power hidden inside the Phoenix’s blood. Currently, he had broken free of the third shackle and was just a step away from reaching the Supernatural level. Tyrus continued, “With the combined strength of me, the Blood Race’s Grand Patriarch, and James, we can tie one of the Supernaturals down even if we can’t defeat him.” “Let’s get going then!” Kaiden Walchelin, the Grand Patriarch of the Blood Race, said, “Mount Bane belongs to Earth. We can’t allow th
Their palms collided, and Langston was sent flying. Conrad, on the other hand, only staggered backward. Immediately, everyone knew that Langston was weaker than Conrad. However, Conrad was undaunted. After being sent flying, he collected himself and brandished his sword. Then, he charged toward Conrad once more. A fierce battle broke out in the sky. Wearing a solemn expression, Tyrus said, “We’ll make this quick. Once we defeat Juniper, we can go help my father.” James nodded. Swish! Then, he brandished the Primordial Dragon Blade. Tyrus, James, and Kaiden charged toward Juniper. Seeing this, Juniper’s face darkened as she said coldly, “You’ve got a death wish!” As she said that, she brandished her sword. Swish! A wave of Sword Energy shredded through the air. The three swiftly dodged the attack and dispersed. Holding the Primordial Dragon Blade in his hand, James performed a terrifying sword technique. Ever since he broke free of the second shackle, his stren
By catalyzing True Lunar and Terra Energy as well as the power of the blood and muscles, James’ aura immediately increased drastically. Holding the sword in her hand, Juniper charged toward him. Clang! The swords clashed. James switched tactics and aimed straight at Juniper’s vital point. A chill ran down her spine. She never expected James’ sword technique to be this bizarre, so she hurriedly switched tactics to deflect his attack. After using all his strength, James was not only able to deflect Juniper’s attack, but he could even perform the First Sword Art and the First Lunar and Terra Sword Art against her. Tyrus, on the other hand, managed to have a brief moment of respite. He hurriedly retreated into the distance and consumed a bottle of elixir. Upon spectating the battle between James and Juniper, he could not help but sigh, “How powerful… His True Energy is almost equal in strength to mine despite only having broken free of two shackles. If he broke free of the th
Just as she was confounded, Thea charged toward her. She collected herself and met her attack. Boom! The two clashed. Powerful True Energies collided and distorted even space. Thea was immediately sent flying. Even Juniper staggered backward, muttering silently under her breath, “What terrifying power…” Then, Thea’s blood churned, and powerful energy erupted from within her blood. Even though she only managed to cross into the ninth rank recently, she managed to make Juniper stagger backward through brute force alone. “Die.” Thea glared at Juniper with her bloodshot eyes. She summoned True Demonic Energy, imbued it with the Malevolent Sword, and performed the Demonic Sword Art. The strength of the Demonic Sword Art was greatly augmented by her True Demonic Energy. The demonized Thea was too strong. Even Juniper, who was a Supernatural, had lost her composure. In the distance, James sat in a lotus position on the ground and healed his injuries while spectating the battle.
