He cackled. Then, he stepped on the black lotus and headed in Yandel’s direction. “Again?!” Upon seeing James charging toward him, Yandel, who finally got a brief moment of respite, cursed, “Who the hell do you think you are?” He was enraged. Ignoring his injuries, he summoned his full strength, and his aura was drastically boosted. An illusory ferocious tiger formed out of True Energy materialized behind him. Imbued with a mysterious power, it exuded an invincible aura. At that moment, the tiger roared and leaped toward James. Sensing the looming danger, James tried to dodge but to no avail. The tiger slashed at his chest and tore a chunk of meat away.James could feel excruciating pain throughout his body. At that moment, however, a black aura was discharged from his body, which immediately rejuvenated his wound. “That’s all you’ve got?” James smirked. As the battle dragged on, he now had a better understanding of his own body. He was invincible. As long as he
Yandel chose to concede defeat and prayed that James would spare his life. James, on the other hand, simply glared at him. Deep in contemplation, he wondered if he should use this opportunity to strike fear in the Overworld Outsiders’ hearts by annihilating Yandel. However, he was also concerned that this would have the opposite effect and instead incur the Overworld’s wrath. In such a scenario, the earthlings would be their target of reprisal. Although he was unafraid of the Overworld, the same could not be said about the earthlings. Besides, after the fierce battle, he began to understand more about his body. His body was imbued with powerful Demonic Energy, but the energy would be depleted every time he suffered an injury. At the moment, he no longer had much Demonic Energy inside his body. Indeed, he could feel his recovery speed gradually slowing down. It made James realize that he was not invincible. There was a limit to his recovery. Once his Demonic Energy was deplete
Leandro said smilingly, “No problem at all. We came here in search of opportunities, after all. I promise you that the Overworld will not harass any earthlings, starting from today until the seal is released.” The others nodded in agreement, signaling their willingness to live in harmony with the earthlings. James continued, “As the location of the seal, Mount Bane is the most mysterious place on Earth. Thus, many magical objects will appear here. From today onward, the earthlings shall be allowed to enter Mount Bane as they please. You are forbidden from restricting access to them.” The others looked at Leandro. The Son of Heaven was the greatest among those who came from the Overworld. Meanwhile, as the butler of the Son of Heaven, Leandro’s words could be interpreted as the Son of Heaven’s wishes. Leandro contemplated for a brief moment before saying, “I have no qualms about that. However, the earthlings are forbidden from entering the area in the vicinity of the sects tha
Xandra could not believe her ears. She knew how powerful the Overworld and the figures guarding Mount Bane were. Thus, she did not expect James to be able to fight them to a standstill. “I’m not sure if I can sense the magical object’s specific location. But since Mount Bane is safe now, I’ll head over there immediately. Wait for me, James. I’ll be there within a day.” “Alright, then.” James hung up the phone. Then, he sat in a lotus position on the ground and absorbed Empyrean Spiritual Energy to replenish the Demonic Energy within his body. His Demonic Energy had been depleted after the battle. It was not the True Lunar and Terra Energy he cultivated, nor was it his physical prowess. As Empyrean Spiritual Energy entered his body, the Demonic Energy that was depleted slowly replenished. After some time, as his Demonic Energy was restored, James became energetic. He did not leave but instead waited patiently. Before daybreak, Xandra Lafleur arrived. She was wearing a pa
Leandro bowed slightly to show his reverence toward his master. The man before him was the Son of Heaven, the most distinguished disciple of the greatest figure of the Overworld. Though he was youthful, he possessed great strength. “Mhm.” The man nodded slightly and walked toward a wooden chair outside the wooden house, taking a seat. “Master, an earthling appeared on Mount Bane a day ago…” Leandro narrated the events that unfolded to him. “Oh?” Stunned, the Son of Heaven looked at Leandro and asked, “A man who exudes terrifying Demonic Energy… Does such a person truly exist on Earth?” “Yes, he simply won’t die. No matter how severe his injuries were, he managed to rejuvenate them in a short amount of time. Not even the five of us at the Supernatural Consummation rank can annihilate him. Besides, he nearly killed Yandel Harlow,” Leandro said The Son of Heaven’s expression turned grim when he heard this. Pensive, he remained silent. Leandro asked, “What should we do now
No one believed James was still alive. They thought his message was a prank. [What kind of sick joke is this?] [Enter Mount Bane as we please? Finders keepers? Hasn’t this guy heard of the Overworld?] [This must be the Overworld’s doing. They must be bored and wanted to lure us over there.] Many interacted on the forum. After posting the message, James did not immediately leave but instead stayed to observe their reactions. Seeing that no one believed him, he scratched his nose. Then, he posted another message. [I am James Caden of Wyrmstead. I am still alive, and I have returned. On Mount Bane, I annihilated Matias Judah, the man who slaughtered dozens from the state of Japura and fought against many Overworld Outsiders.] [I fought Xain Judah, Samarth Carter, Wynter Freya, Yandel Harlow, and Leandro Xamir to a standstill alone, thereby earning the right to enter negotiations with them. In the end, I managed to obtain many benefits for us all.] James briefly describ
At the same time, in Cansington… Cynthia walked out of her room wearing pajamas. Unable to fall asleep, she headed to the living room downstairs and scrolled through the Martial Arts Forum. She wanted to know if anything significant had happened over the past few days. The moment she logged into the forum, she saw two messages that James had posted. Upon reading through the messages, she could not help but exclaim, “J-James is still alive?” She could not believe her eyes. Holding the phone in her hand, she hurriedly ran upstairs and knocked on a door. Knock! Knock! Knock! “Maxine! Maxine!” However, no matter how hard she knocked, no one answered the door. So, she pushed the door open and entered the room. When she entered, she saw Maxine sitting in a lotus position on the bed. Wearing white pajamas, her long black hair was on end, and her eyes were bloodshot. Green veins were popping out all over her face. Cynthia’s blood ran cold and she unconsciously turned to leave.
Maxine learned that James was still alive. To verify the truth, she headed to Mount Bane overnight. In the silence of the night, there was a bonfire at the foot of Mount Bane. James was discussing matters with Xandra when a group of people appeared in the distance. In the lead was a man wearing a white robe, his skin fair and delicate. He was holding a white pearl the size of a fist in his hand. The pearl glimmered a faint light, and there was a black dot darting about inside the pearl. However, as if sensing something, the pearl in his hand trembled violently. Then, a black aura gushed toward the pearl. In an instant, the white pearl was now completely dark. “What?” The man was stunned. “What terrifying Demonic Energy…” He had never sensed such majestic Demonic Energy in his world. The pearl in his hand was an invincible treasure gifted to him by his master that was capable of sensing the presence of Supreme Spiritual Roots that were contaminated by Demonic Energy. A man
