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
Marcello nodded and said, “The Primordials were the ones who left the Celestial Abode behind. This should be a piece of cake. Let me impart to you some of my techniques. You should be able to pass the barrier easily.” Right then, the Son of Heaven stood up. Though he failed a moment ago, he now had a rough understanding of the formation. Then, he tried breaching through the formations’ defenses. James and Marcello observed him intently. The Son of Heaven charged into the formation and dodged a succession of attacks flawlessly. Soon, he was already halfway through. In the end, a dozen golems attacked all at once. Meanwhile, the Son of Heaven performed an unusual technique. No matter how many golems attacked him, he was able to dodge them in time. Eventually, he passed the formation. Standing at the other side, he turned to look at James and Marcello and flashed them a smirk. Then, he turned to leave, descending the slope and disappearing from view. Marcello was unconcern
Marcello was training James’ reflexes. “Remember not to rely on your brain to make a decision at critical moments, James. Use the natural reflexes of your body,” Marcello said. “Th-This is hard.” James panted. Marcello explained, “Once you learn the trick, it’s going to be a piece of cake. Besides, I’m not asking you to train your entire body into doing this. I just need you to pass the third barrier.” “I’ll try my best.” James relaxed his mind and discharged Psynergy. With the help of his Psynergy, the surrounding objects nearby began to surface in his mind. Marcello struck once more. Sensing Marcello’s hand, the trajectory of his attack surfaced in James’ mind. However, by the time the information was transmitted to his brain, he was already sent flying. “Your physical body is strong, and your conditioned reflexes are much faster than an ordinary human. When you sensed my attack, your body should have dodged instead of waiting for your brain to issue the command.” Mar
“Is James going to give it another try?” “I wonder if that earthling can pass the third barrier.” Many had gathered by the third barrier after failing to pass. They all wondered if James could accomplish what they could not. James emptied his mind and removed all impurities before taking a step forward. At the same time, he discharged Psynergy that sensed his surroundings, and every movement of the golems surfaced in his mind. He could clearly see the trajectory of their attacks, thereby allowing him to dodge in advance. As he dodged agilely, he pressed onward. Soon, he was at the 200-meter mark. However, the golems’ attack speed accelerated. Even though James could sense their incoming attacks, he could not dodge them in time. His shoulder was struck, sending excruciating pain throughout his body. Meanwhile, he was showing signs of falling over. After being struck once, James suffered many more injuries from the golems. As blood trickled down from his lips, he silently
James was not concerned about his temporary setback. He already had a cultivation plan in mind. In his opinion, he simply had to try repeatedly to cultivate his physical body. Sooner or later, he would surely pass the third barrier. Even if he did not obtain the Celestial Abode in the end, he would gain tremendously by improving his strength. After pausing for a brief respite, he charged into the golem formation once more. This time, he came here not to pass the barrier in mind, but rather to cultivate his physical body. Soon, he arrived at the 200-meter mark. By then, the golems’ attack speed had increased so drastically that James could no longer keep up. In a short amount of time, he suffered many wounds. The golems’ stone swords were not sharp and could not inflict any external injuries. However, their force was great, and James collapsed to the ground repeatedly. Just like that, with his physical body alone, he managed to press on for another hundred meters. After ar
It was a stone bridge constructed out of white granite. After pausing momentarily, James walked toward the bridge. As he stepped onto the bridge, he was suddenly overwhelmed by powerful pressure. He could feel a mountain crushing his shoulders as his knees slowly gave way, and he collapsed to the ground. No matter how hard he tried to get back up, he could not. So, James simply remained sprawled on the bridge and breathed in heavily. After some time, he catalyzed the True Lunar and Terra Energy inside his body. As True Lunar and Terra Energy spread throughout his body, he summonsed his physical strength and stood up, repelling the enormous pressure. Crack! The pressure was so great that his skeleton began to crack. However, as he possessed enormous power, he managed to withstand the pressure. Just as he raised his leg to take the next step, his foot was somehow glued to the surface of the bridge. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free. “Goddamn it!” James summ
