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
Marcello intended to annihilate everyone here, whereas James disagreed, believing that such a plan was unrealistic. Even though many perished just by attempting to pass the first barrier, there were still at least 7000 of them left. Besides, those who managed to pass the barriers would be the best of the best. Annihilating them all would be nigh impossible. Currently, the best way to obtain the Celestial Abode was to pass the nine barriers. With that thought in mind, James hastened his footsteps and pressed onward. Along the winding path, all sorts of mysterious flora exuded an alluring fragrance. The berries also radiated a blinding light. Every flora here was spiritual fruit that was imbued with mysterious energy. Upon consumption, it would bring many benefits to cultivators, such as improving one’s strength in a short amount of time. Upon seeing the spiritual fruits in his surroundings, James’ desire for the Celestial Abode grew more intense. ‘I have to obtain this Celestial
“Don’t leave me behind!” Many excruciating screams came from inside the Magical Circle. Some who let their guard down were immediately annihilated by the Sword Energy. Unwilling to concern himself with the others’ fates, James simply left alongside Marcello. Marcello was well-versed in Magic Circles. Holding James by his arm, they traversed through the thin fog. Besides, as his sense of acumen was strong, he could sense the movement of Sword Energy, thereby allowing them to dodge the attacks with ease. Ten minutes passed, and the thin fog dissipated. Marcello and James walked out of the Magic Circle. They were the first to do so. James turned to look at the mysterious rocks and took a deep breath. If not for Marcello’s assistance, he would not have walked out of the Magic Circle. He might have perished inside. “Thank you.” He seldom demonstrated his gratitude. However, this time, he truly was thankful for Marcello’s help. James believed that Marcello was a rather kind-h
The Demon Emperor was the supreme being in the Demon Realm. His inheritance would be much more impressive than this Celestial Abode. However, such it fell into the hands of a human. Marcello could not help but feel envy. James, meanwhile, remained silent. He revealed nothing about the custodian, the Chamber of Scriptures, and also his body. “Unwilling to share information with me?” Marcello looked at James. James said, “No, you misunderstand. It’s just that the situation’s complicated, and I’m not in the position to reveal too much.” Since James was unwilling, Marcello did not ask further. The two continued marching along the winding path. The rocks on the ground glimmered a faint light, and mysterious energy was oozing from within. James, however, was no longer surprised upon seeing this. Everything inside the Celestial Abode was worth a fortune, even its soil and pebbles. Since the two walked slowly, someone managed to catch up. It was the Son of Heaven who believed h
James asked, “I heard from the Overworld Outsiders that the earthlings’ ancestors left behind the Four Holy Beasts. However, they were tampered with. Do you know anything about this?” Marcello nodded and said, “Yes, a little.” James looked at him. Marcello explained, “In ancient times, those who sided with the Demon Race were branded as traitors. After we sealed Earth away, the descendants of the traitors remained on Earth, a planet that was deprived of any Spiritual Energy. However, since the ancestors of these traitors knew that their descendants would be annihilated once the seal is undone, they summoned the Four Holy Beasts for their sake. The Four Holy Beasts aren’t ordinary creatures, and you people are still too weak to experience the benefits. However, some people from the Sealed Realm injected Demonic Energy into the Four Holy Beasts in an attempt to demonize the earthlings. After all, Demonic Energy has adverse effects on human beings. Not only does it affect your mind,
Marcello was simply too strong. He, the Son of Heaven, could only reach the 100-meter mark, whereas Marcello easily passed the third barrier. After passing the third barrier, he returned. This time, the golem formation did not attack him. Upon returning to James’ side and looking at his dumbfounded expression, Marcello smiled and said, “Actually, passing through the golem formation isn’t a difficult endeavor. As long as your movements are agile, you should be able to dodge their attacks easily. Why don’t you give it a try?” “Me?” James looked at the golems before him. He was not confident in his own strength. “Go on,” Marcello said, “Aren’t you curious how far you can go?” “Alright, then.” James approached the golem formation and looked at the golems. Then, he catalyzed True Energy, summoned all his strength, and charged toward the golem formation. The moment he stepped into the formation, a sword imbued with terrifying power came slashing at him. Before they even m
