The woman in the white dress was excited. After so many years, she finally met a worthy opponent. She stopped restraining her strength and used the full strength of the peak of the Eighth Inner Gate.Her dress and long hair fluttered in the air as oppressive energy emanated from her.With a flash, she charged at James and thrust her palm forward. Powerful Palm Energy rushed forward, causing the surrounding space to distort.Her attack was enough to injure even a regular Herculean martial artist.However, James was not afraid of her palm attack. He did not retreat. Instead, he charged forward and met her attack head-on.Rumble!!!As their True Energies intertwined, the surroundings began to warp.The aftermath of the collision swept across the arena.The two fought in an open area. The woman boasted insane speed, and her movements were unpredictable and mysterious.Even though James had strong True Energy, his attacks were deflected easily. In just a short moment, the two had e
It was only their first exchange of blows using their swords, yet already James’ long sword had been knocked away.After the woman disarmed James, she charged at him at lightning speed. Her long sword pressed against James’ chest, but she did not push it in to stab him. Then, she looked at James with a smirk.“You lost.”“I… lost?”James was stunned.He did not expect to lose so easily.After two years of rigorous training, how could he still lose so easily?“Not yet.”At that moment, James seized the opportunity and raised his hand. Suddenly, two completely different True Energies materialized in his palm.The True Energies merged instantly and formed a brand new force, bursting out suddenly.The whole process took only less than a second.The woman was not expecting James to continue fighting her. Truthfully, she was completely capable of dodging the attack, but she received a message from the Spirit Tool at that critical moment.This led her to not dodge the attack and blo
As his laughter echoed, the silhouette gradually dissipated and eventually vanished altogether.The Spirit Tool and the woman in the white dress silently watched the scene in the distance.They knew their master had left his world once and for all.He disappeared from the world and was not coming back anymore.Meanwhile, James was ecstatic as he quickly walked toward the Celestial Spirit and grabbed it.At that moment, the Celestial Tool walked over and appeared in front of James. He slightly bent over and said respectfully, “Master, refining the Celestial Spirit is very simple. All you need to do is transfuse your True Energy into it.”“Alright, thanks for letting me know.” James wore a grateful expression.He activated his True Energy and channeled it into the Celestial Spirit in his hand.At that moment, the crystal shone brighter and slowly transformed into a symbol in the air. It landed on James’ forehead and sunk into it.James immediately sensed a connection with the Ce
Sophie glanced at James. Suddenly, her body flickered and disappeared.James had become the Celestial Abode’s owner yet could not sense Sophie.He was surprised.What an extraordinary woman.James looked at the Spirit Tool and said, “Sir, I’ll be leaving for now.”“Master, you don’t have to be so formal with me. You can just call me Nova.”As the Celestial Abode’s owner, it meant he was also Nova’s new master.He refused to let James address him so formally.James kept his mouth shut after that.With a single thought, he appeared outside the Celestial Abode instantly.At that moment, countless martial artists were gathered outside the Celestial Abode. All of these people were Outsiders.James appeared in a deserted area outside the Celestial Abode and looked at the people gathered in the distance. His lips formed into a faint smile.“Shrink.”After he gave his telepathic order, the Celestial Abode began to shrink from its massive size, eventually turning into a small light
They gave James an earful for acting recklessly in Hazted City.James looked at the martial artists blocking his path and said calmly, “I came to see the Omniscient Deity. I will resolve the Hazted City's matter soon. First, I must see the Omniscient Deity.”“Fine, wait here. I’ll report your visit.”One of the martial artists turned and left.The others looked at James warily.James did not pay the martial artists’ hostility any mind.To them, the Outsiders were powerful beings, and offending was a surefire way ti de.If he were in their shoes, he would not want to see countless people die because one person offended and angered these Outsiders.Soon, the martial artist who left to report the visit returned.“The Sect Leader will see you. You may proceed. The Sect Leader is in the back mountain.”James ascended Mount Jade.The Omniscient Deity sat on a rock in the back mountain of Mount Jade with a piece of straw dangling from his mouth. His face was sorrowful as he was de
Since James had the confidence to kill the Son of Heaven, the Omniscient Deity did not stop him.“I won’t stop you from killing the Son of Heaven. However, do know that he isn’t the strongest Outsider at the moment. The most powerful Outsider is Tristen, who is already a Herculean at the Sixth Layer. The Herculean rank only has six layers. After breaking through the sixth layer, he will reach the Immortal Ascension rank.“So please don’t act recklessly in Hazted City. You must be respectful and get Tristen’s permission to fight the Son of Heaven and make a promise that this matter will be over after you kill him.“Do you understand?”James parted his lips and replied, “Mhm, I understand. I’ve already come up with a plan.”After explaining his intention to challenge the Son of Heaven and discussing the matter with the Omniscient Deity, James left Mount Jade.Half a day later, James returned to Mount Bane and arrived outside Hazted City’s gate.James was dressed in white and carri
Meanwhile, James furrowed his brows.The person in the lead was Tristen. James never expected Tristen to be such a popular man.James recognized a few of the people standing behind Tristen. He noticed the Son of Heaven, Xain, Samarth, and Yandel.There were a number of people that James had never seen before.“City Lord.”Seeing Tristen coming outside, the guards regarded him respectfully.Tristen gently waved his hand.The guards purposefully stepped aside to make a path for him.Tristen walked toward James and stood a few meters away from him. He looked at James, and a smile formed on his handsome face. “You must be James, right?”James replied, “Yeah.”Tristen said softly, “Did you know that fighting is prohibited in Hazted City? I established the rule to create a peaceful city, but you killed someone and broke the rules after stepping into my city. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, everyone will follow suit in the future, and Hazted City will descend into chaos.”Alth
James agreed to Tristen’s request.His homicide charge in Hazted City would be pardoned if he won.However, an entire city would be eradicated if he was defeated.He was risking the lives of Earth’s humans, but he had the confidence to win.James looked at Tristen and said calmly, “You can set the time and venue of the battle.”Tristen replied, “Since I get to decide, how about one week later on Mount Bane?” “Alright.” James nodded.Then, he turned and left under everyone’s watchful gaze.After James was gone, the smile on Tristen’s face disappeared and was replaced with a grim look. He turned around and returned to the City Lord’s Mansion. Right behind him was a cabal of powerful fighters.Tristen sat on the highest platform in the City Lord’s Mansion’s main hall. He looked at the Son of Heaven and asked calmly, “Do you have the confidence to kill James?”The Son of Heaven said arrogantly, “James is nothing but an ant to me.”Xain promptly advised, “Son of Heaven, you shou
