Marcello left alongside his entourage. After they left, his subordinate asked, “Young Master, how could you gift him such a precious token?” Marcello briefly contemplated before saying, “He has the Demonic Body, so he’ll be ostracized by humans sooner or later. When that comes to pass, he’ll become an asset to the Demon Race. Giving the token to him in advance is akin to paving the way for him. Once he reaches a dead end, joining us will be his only choice.” “How wise of you…” Meanwhile, Marcello took out the pearl once more, which had returned to normal. “The Supreme Spiritual Root… I never expected that there would be someone who possesses the Supreme Spiritual Root by James’ side. However, I can’t make a move on her for now. I should bide my time,” he murmured. Then, he waved his arm, and powerful True Energy gathered in his palm. True Energy entered the mysterious pearl, and the black dot disappeared. Then, he catalyzed True Energy and imbued it within the mysterious pear
“Wh-What do you want from me?” Maxine questioned. Marcello smiled faintly and said, “Oh, nothing much. From today onwards, you’ll remain by my side. I’ll give you the best things you need. Before long, you’ll become one of the greatest in the world. I assure you that you can overwhelm anyone at the Supernatural and even the Herculean rank.” After he spoke, he waved his hand, and a black fog emerged from his palm. As the black fog entered Maxine’s nostrils, she immediately lost consciousness. James did not know that Maxine came looking for him, nor the fact that she had been abducted by Marcello. He simply remained on Mount Bane in wait for the next magical object to appear. Time passed. In the blink of an eye, it was already the night before the magical object appeared. That night, James could not sleep at all. He waited patiently at the foot of Mount Bane alongside Xandra. Although it was nighttime, the statue at the peak of Mount Bane glimmered a five-colored light at
“What could it be?” James was standing in mid-air while staring at the mountain range below, which disintegrated and formed a deep chasm. The commotion here immediately attracted the Overworld Outsiders’ attention. In under a minute, they arrived at the scene. However, when they saw James, they decided against revealing themselves and instead observed from afar. Swoosh! A golden light emerged from within the chasm and soared to the sky. James could sense powerful energy. Then, the ground shook and the earth rumbled. Soon, a building around the size of a thousand square meters emerged from within the chasm. James could not see what was inside as it radiated a blinding golden light. “A building?” James was dumbfounded. He thought something impressive would appear. “This isn’t an ordinary building,” Xandra beside him said. “I sense that it is no ordinary structure.” At that moment, a few figures appeared in the distance. Their speed was extraordinary, and they appeared
“Hahaha!” The Son of Heaven burst into a peal of laughter as he descended from the sky and appeared before the door. At that moment, the other cultivators of the Overworld followed close behind. Upon seeing the Celestial Abode, they could not help but be stunned. James crawled up from the ground. Xandra walked over to him and asked in concern, “Are you alright?” James wiped off the blood trace on his lips and shook his head slightly, saying, “Everything’s alright.” Then, he walked over to the Overworld Outsiders and blocked their path. “What is this thing?” James asked. The Son of Heaven glanced at James and smiled faintly, saying, “How are you so ignorant when you have guarded this place for days?” James said, “I only know that something impressive is about to appear. However, I don’t know what specifically.” The Son of Heaven explained, “This is a Celestial Abode.” “A Celestial Abode?” James asked, puzzled. Another cultivator from the Overworld said, “That
The shadow was the Spirit Tool of the Celestial Abode. In modern terms, it would be something akin to an artificial intelligence robot. Though it was not a living being, it had a consciousness, which allowed him to converse with humans. The shadow looked at them once more and shook its head slightly while sighing, “It appears that Master must have set the designated time wrongly. Who the hell are these people? With how weak they are, how are they qualified to obtain his inheritance?” Hearing this, the Son of Heaven panicked. “Although I’m currently still weak, I possess enormous potential. If I can obtain the Celestial Abode and the inheritance left behind by the Primordials, I’d certainly prove my worth.” The others argued as well. “Pick me!” “I have potential too! If I’m allowed to have the Celestial Abode, I’ll surely be the greatest in the world.” “Please consider me, Sir!” The Overworld Outsiders stepped forward and voiced their thoughts. James, on the other hand
After entering the Celestial Abode, they were now seemingly in another world. “There are so many divine objects here!” James rubbed his eyes in disbelief. “You are forbidden from plucking any of the berries here. Violators shall be disqualified immediately,” the shadow spoke. The crowd who was itching to sink their teeth into the mouth-watering berries collected themselves. As they scanned their surroundings, they could not help but drool. Even without the Primordials’ inheritance, they would stand to gain enormously with the berries alone. After James collected himself, he looked at his surroundings. There was a city in the distance where many castle-like structures were erected, and each of them was at least a kilometer in height. From afar, it looked like a wonderland. “This place is unbelievably huge!” James could not believe his eyes. He initially thought this was only a building. However, upon entering the Celestial Abode, James found out there was another world
“Annihilate everyone here?” James froze. There were at least 10 thousand Overworld Outsiders here. No way could he pull off such a feat. “Yes.” Marcello said, “This Celestial Abode is left behind by the Primordials. It won’t be easy crossing all nine barriers. I’d say annihilating them all would be easier, comparatively speaking,” he said nonchalantly. However, James was horrified. His opponents greatly outnumbered him in size and strength. There were at least five Overworld Outsiders at the Supernatural Consummation rank. Besides, he could not see through the Son of Heaven, who might have reached the Herculean rank long ago. Numerous cultivators had also released the Eighth Inner Gate. How could he accomplish such a feat? James looked at Marcello, wondering how on earth was he so assured of his own strength. Perhaps he was already at the Herculean stage. In that case, it would be possible for them to annihilate everyone here. “H-Have you reached the Herculean stage?” J
“Men!” Xain shouted. Immediately, a group of disciples from the Sacerdotal Sect appeared before him. Then, he ordered, “All of you, charge at the golem.” “Wh-What?” They froze. Upon seeing a powerful cultivator being annihilated, they were not confident in passing through the golem. “There’s nothing to be afraid of. There’s no way you can’t pass with so many of you going together!” Xain ordered. “Understood.” Hearing that, they were at ease. Immediately, they headed toward the golem, while Xain followed close behind. The others did not act recklessly but observed the situation instead. When they arrived a few meters away from the golem, the disciples summoned all their strength and rushed toward the golem at great speeds. At that moment, the golem moved. Then, it waved the sword in its hand, annihilating those who dared approach. Meanwhile, Xain seized the opportunity and passed through the golem as his disciples were being annihilated, thereby becoming the firs
