“Go ahead.”Xain desperately wanted James’ cultivation method. To that end, he would be willing to answer dozens of questions to acquire it. Simply answering a few questions was relatively easy.James asked, “Is there a crack in the Overworld’s seal? Do the Overworld Outsiders pass through the gap in the seal to enter Earth?”Xain nodded and said, “Yeah. There’s a gap in the seal of the Overworld. Going through it will lead to Earth.James asked again, “Are many Overworld Outsiders going to appear on Earth soon?”Xain nodded and said, “That’s right. Unfortunately, passing through the gap into Earth isn’t as easy as it sounds. Perhaps only a hundred people will be able to pass through, whereas the rest will die in the process.”James sighed in relief.Then, he asked again, “What’s your cultivation rank?”Xain replied honestly, “I’m at the Supernatural Consummation and am one step away from becoming a Herculean.”Hearing this, James was astounded.He had no idea what it was l
Xain was eager to learn James’ cultivation method.He knew the Earth’s ancestors had raised many powerful men that have left behind top-tier martial art skills. He suspected that James had acquired one of them.James wore a serious expression.He had not made up his mind yet.Seeing James’ hesitation, Xain said, “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep my word. After you give me the cultivation method, I’ll guarantee your safety from this point on. I'll ensure your survival even after the Earth’s seal is open.”While Xain was trying to convince James, James was thinking about whether he could kill Xain with his signature martial art skill instead of having to bear the consequences of teaching him the cultivation method.Xain was ridiculously strong.If Xain were to suspect his intentions even the slightest bit, his plan would fail.To successfully kill Xain, he would have to completely catch him off guard.Xain would surely defend himself if James were to recklessly cast Cosmic Dest
“What’s going on? Why is there such a powerful energy?”Everyone sensed the unbounded energy coming from the mountaintop and felt a sense of foreboding.Creak! The mountain where Floret Palace was located showed signs of crumbling because of the sheer pressure from the energy, and the people at the mountain foot began to panick.“This is bad! Run!”They frantically fled.James had fused the two True Energies on the mountaintop together and formed a brand new force. He tried his best to control it, but it was too large and too strong for him to manage.He could hardly control the enormous force.“Haha!” Xain let out a maniacal laugh.The energy was powerful!Its strength was overwhelming!A martial artist who had not become a Supernatural could use the powerful skill not just to multiply his strength by several times.“Amazing! This is amazing! Hurry and tell me what this move is called, James.”His body trembled from trepidation.Conrad and the other Sacerdotal Sect disc
The mountain where Floret Palace once stood was completely demolished.Everything within dozens of kilometers was reduced to ruins and rubble.There were no signs of life in the vicinity where Floret Palace used to be.“Is James dead?”“Did James use his signature martial art skill to kill the Outsiders?”Many people were puzzled by what had happened.After the dust settled, the martial artist that had fled returned to the area and tried to find James within the ruins.Suddenly, rubbles began to move, and a bloodied figure from the ground.He sat on a rock and gasped for air.“That damned bastard almost killed me.”Xain was livid.He did not expect James to suddenly attack him.Since the attack was practically point blank, he was unprepared. Although he was strong, he almost died from being struck so close.At that moment, he was covered in blood and looked extremely ragged.He glanced around his surroundings.Everything was destroyed.Conrad and the other Sacerdotal Se
That person was the Chamber of Scripture’s custodian.She witnessed everything that had happened at Floret Palace.A troubled expression flashed on her intangible face as she watched the area crumble to nothing.“Doing everything for the sake of your country and its people. You embody the spirit of the Earth’s ancestors, and the world needs people like you. If everyone were to fear death, the Earth would not have been sealed but destroyed.”The custodian spoke softly at a volume only she could hear.“Gather, soul fragments.”Her spectral hands suddenly moved, and a mysterious mark formed in the air.Then, an invisible force swirled out from her hands.The force spread across the land, converging at Floret Palace’s location.White specks of light appeared out of the ruins and floated into the sky, forming a translucent figure. The figure quickly left the area and flew toward Mount Tai.The figure moved rapidly and appeared at Mount Tai almost in the blink of an eye, appearing
James was a soldier.A soldier’s duty was to protect the country’s people.He developed this sense of responsibility after serving in the military for more than ten years. The world would be over if everyone shrank away from danger and refused to step up.“Well said.” The custodian nodded gently.She agreed with James’ words.In ancient times, there was a group of people with the same mentality. They were the reason Earth was saved. “Ms. Custodian, is there any chance I’ll come back to life?”James’ looked at the custodian with his translucent eyes. He was unwilling to accept his fate. There was so much more that he wanted to do, and even more that he had not accomplished yet.The custodian replied softly, “It’s possible. However, the responsibility and burden placed on you will be much heavier.”James replied determinedly, “I’ll do whatever it takes.”The custodian waved her hand, and James’ illusory body glided upwards.His vision went foggy. When he opened his eyes again
James thought for a while and said, “Is it the Outsiders from the Sealed Realm?”The custodian gently shook her head. “Forget it. You won’t understand even if I told you outright. We’ll save this for the future. I brought you here because I plan to use the Demonic Lotus to reconstitute your physical body.”“What?” James’ incorporeal mouth hung agape.He looked at the darkly glowing lotus before him and asked, “You’re going to use this lotus to remake my physical body?”The custodian nodded and said, “That’s right. Earth’s ancestors managed to obtain this lotus after much hardship. This is part of a greater plan, but I can’t tell you much about it at the moment. If I tell you too much at this point, it’ll end up further burdening your psyche. What I can tell you is that you’re about to receive a great opportunity along with good fortune.”She turned to look at the Demonic Lotus.“The lotus’ original owner was a powerful man whose strength was beyond anything you could imagine. Onc
Having been through Earth’s darkest hour, everything now was considered relatively peaceful to the custodian.James felt relieved since the custodian did not bring up anything in particular that happened outside, which meant things were still under control.“What do I have to do to be resurrected?”James eagerly looked at the custodian. He longed to be resurrected and walk out of this place alive.The custodian glanced at James and flicked her wrist. James felt his spectral form hover forward as it unsteadily moved toward the physical body on the ground.At that moment, a mysterious mark formed on the custodian’s hand.She chanted some words, and mysterious symbols entered James’ body one by one.About five minutes passed.James slowly opened his eyes after having entered the body on the ground.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful woman standing before him. Her alluring face was solemn as she quietly stared at James.James got up from the ground.“A-Am I alive
