Sophie said, “I’ll give you three years to cultivate your physical body and increase your rank. As for the remainder of your time here, you’ll cultivate Sacrilegious Ascension.” “Sure.” James nodded. Sophie was powerful, so he obeyed her wishes. “You should begin first. I’ll go get you some spiritual berries.” After she spoke, she turned to leave. Meanwhile, James sat in a lotus position on the ground and began cultivating. Catalyzing his cultivation method, the Empyrean Spiritual Energy of the entire Celestial Abode gathered in one place. Then, they entered James’ body, which refined them into the purest form of energy. Soon, Sophie returned with a handful of berries that contained Empyrean Spiritual Energy. Each of them was much greater in energy than the silver berries James had. In Sophie’s words, these berries were considered fifth-rank berries, just right for James. James also learned that Empyrean Berries had a ranking system. After the ninth-rank, the spiritual
Sophie managed to increase the spatial pressure in the Time Chamber. Even though James was already a Herculean and had great physical strength, he could not withstand the pressure. His body could automatically rejuvenate by itself, but he consciously suppressed the Demonic Energy inside of him to prevent it from healing his body. He wanted to use the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi to nourish his body. So, on the one hand, he suppressed his Demonic Energy, and catalyzed the Novenary Golden Siddhi on the other. Empyrean Spiritual Energy entered his body and circulated throughout his organs, healing his gravely injured body. As his injuries recovered, his physical strength increased as well. This was a specialty of the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi. Each time he recovered, his physical strength would increase. In essence, his strength would only increase as long as he was not annihilated in a single strike. “Hmm…” Upon sensing his physical strength increase, Sophie praised him, “I di
”Next, I’ll teach you Sacrilegious Ascension.” Saying that, Sophie raised her finger. Then, a white light materialized in the air and entered James’ mind. At that moment, a ton of information flooded his mind. Everything he received was related to Sacrilegious Ascension. Immediately, he sat in a lotus position on the ground and received the information that was transmitted to him. After some time, he completely understood the cultivation method. Stunned, he exclaimed, “This is simply unbelievable!” “Shocked, aren’t you?” Sophie smiled smugly and said, “This is the signature martial art skill of the Divine Ape Race which the late Emperor Jabari went to great lengths to obtain. Once cultivated, you can use this for a lifetime.” After the initial shock, James collected himself. Although the cultivation method was unbelievable, it would be nigh impossible to cultivate. Once he performed Sacrilegious Ascension, his strength would increase drastically in a short amount of time.
The process was rather complicated. “James, since you have completely mastered the method of cultivating Sacrilegious Ascension, you should carve out someplace to store True Energy inside your acupuncture points.” “Mhm.” James nodded. Sitting in a lotus position on the ground, he observed the insides of his body and catalyzed True Energy, transporting them to an acupuncture point. Then, he carved out someplace inside the acupuncture point, where his True Energy was compressed into a tiny dot. However, as True Energy was compressed to its limit, James lost control, causing True Energy to explode. He collapsed to the ground, and a part of his arm blew up. Other cultivators would have been dead straight away, but not James. This was nothing to him. As Demonic Energy circulated throughout his body, the injuries on his arm soon recovered. “Don’t rush things, take it slowly. I know that it’s difficult in the beginning. Once you succeed in creating some space, it’ll only get eas
James sat in a lotus position on the ground and catalyzed True Energy. Immediately, a vertebra inside his body shattered into pieces. “Argh!” Even James could not endure such excruciating pain. His expression contorted, and he let loose an agonizing scream. “Gather!” Groaning, he roared. The True Energy inside his energy reservoirs gathered where the vertebra was shattered and formed a new vertebra in its place. At that moment, James was in an entranced state. Vaguely, he could see an illusory image of his body and spine in the air. Meanwhile, the illusory body slowly moved upward and placed itself comfortably on the vertebrae formed by True Energy. At that moment, his strength grew. Crack! Crack! Crack! James catalyzed True Energy and shattered his vertebrae. Then, True Energy would gather inside his body and form new vertebrae. Meanwhile, his illusory body moved upward and appeared on the newly formed vertebrae. Each movement made his aura stronger. Soon, Ja
After arduous cultivation, James finally broke all thirty-three vertebrae and used the power of nature gathered by Sacrilegious Ascension to reshape them. Then, he took thirty-three steps forward. His strength grew with each step he took. After he made thirty-three strides, his aura had completely merged with heaven and earth. “Finally…” James took a deep breath. Sensing the power within him, he was now confident in his own strength. “Magnus stands no chance against me.” At that moment, he was fully assured he could defeat Magnus. Then, James dispersed Sacrilegious Ascension. As his aura slowly faded away, he collapsed to the ground. That was because the vertebrae formed using the power of heaven and earth had disappeared, whereas his original vertebrae were shattered. So, he simply lay on the ground motionless and catalyzed Demonic Energy, which swiftly rejuvenated his injuries. In just half an hour, James’ wounds had completely regenerated. Then, he tried once more.
James said, “By the way, do your best to train my army. I’ll be leaving everything in your hands. Help me create an invincible army.” Sophie said smilingly, “Don’t worry, leave everything to me. There are many low-ranking spiritual berries in the Celestial Abode, and they are totally compatible with your army. Soon, an invincible army will be born.” Hearing this, James was at ease.Then, he turned to leave the Celestial Abode. When he reappeared, he was back in the dense forest surrounding Mount Bane. After he returned the Celestial Abode into the shape of a ring, he left the forest. Since the battle would only take place in three days, he did not head to Bane City. Instead, he headed to a mall in a nearby human city in search of a power bank to charge his phone. Then, he logged into the Martial Arts Forum and scrolled through the news. A month had passed since the black rain’s first appearance. Since he had remained in closed-door meditation during that time, he had no id
The world had descended into chaos. Naturally, people would be concerned about where the future would be heading. Meanwhile, the martial artists were all fixated on the coming battle between James and Magnus. The cultivators of the three thousand Sealed Realms, on the other hand, did not wander about but instead concealed themselves, waiting patiently for the providence. After leaving the Celestial Abode and reading about the situation on Earth, James breathed a sigh of relief. Although the situation was dire, this would be the worst it can get. Next, he entered Mount Bane and found a secluded spot on the peak of a mountain where he sat in a lotus position. Then, he began regulating his condition in preparation for the upcoming battle. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, the day of the battle arrived. At daybreak, a man walked out of Bane City. Wearing a green robe and carrying a sword on his back, he walked firmly with determination. In the blink of an eye, he
