“Then, what’s the providence this time?” asked James.Jace gently shook his head. He did know what it was exactly.Even his master did not have a precise answer.No one in the universe knew what the providence was or what Four Calamities would strike the earth.Jace continued, “I don’t have the answer to your question. The only thing I know is that the providence that will appear along with the Four Calamities is related to the ultimate secret of heaven and earth. It also has something to do with our family’s attack on the Earth during ancient times.”“Oh?” James' curiosity was piqued.Up to now, he had not learned why the Demon Race attacked the Earth in ancient times and why they decided to leave when they were so close to conquering it.In the past, he had asked Marcello about it before, but she refused to explain.James expressed his curiosity. Jace thought for a while and then replied, “Our family attacked Earth because our ancestor was simply following the Heavenly Pa
James stayed in Bane City for three days.At dawn, there was a heaven-and-earth vision.An illusory gate appeared in the sky above Bane City. On the gate, there were a few words.In the past few days, James had been cultivating in the courtyard. He noticed the illusory gate as soon as it appeared. He stared at it for a while but could not read the words floating on it.They were very mysterious ancient words.They seemed to be alive and kept changing.Soon, Marcello, Jace, and some of the Demon Race’s strong men appeared.James walked toward Marcello and asked, “Look over there. That illusory gate just appeared and is connected to the seal in the sky. There are some words on the gate. Can you read the words?”Before Marcello could answer, Jace replied, “I can read it.”James looked at Jace and asked, “What do they mean?”“Space-Time Portal.”Shocked, James asked, “Space-Time Portal? What exactly does that mean?”Jace shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. If I’m not wrong
The gate hovered in the sky and was right beside the cracked seal connecting the Earth to the Three Thousand Worlds.The gate was massive, with a height of 100 meters. Another row of mysterious ancient words could be seen on the gate. Even Jace and the Outsiders from the Demon Realm could not read the words.White mist billowed behind the gate, hiding the view behind it.One after another, powerhouses appeared in the sky and entered through the Space-Time Portal, disappearing from sight.Jace directly stepped into the Space-Time Portal.His men followed right after him.“Let’s go, James.”Marcello looked at James.“Alright.” James nodded.The two entered the Space-Time Portal together. James felt a powerful force sweep over and surround him as soon as he walked into the Space-Time Portal. At that moment, he lost control over his body.The power surrounded him, and a strong suction force came from inside the Space-Time Portal, drawing him inside.He felt dizzy and almost lo
After entering the Space-Time Portal, James arrived at the Provenance.After hearing the explanation, he had a clearer picture of the place.The Provenance allowed them to travel to the beginning of time when the world was first created so that they could discover the ultimate secret of the world. As for the purpose and benefit of it, James was still clueless.He glanced at the area, but it was desolate.James descended from the sky and landed in the mountain forest. Golden light burst forth from the ring on his finger, and the ring fell to the ground, transforming back into the Celestial Abode. James walked into the Celestial Abode.Then, the Celestial Abode shrank and submerged into the soil.No one would find the Celestial Abode even if they passed through the area.James, Nova, and Sophie gathered in the backyard of the Celestial Abode’s City Lord’s Mansion.James explained how he had entered the Space-Time Portal and arrived in the Provenance. He looked at both of them and
Sophie said worriedly, “How should I put it? Basically, the Heavenly Path is an absolute existence that transcends and controls everything, including the life and death of living beings.”James was still perplexed.Nova said, “You don’t need to understand it for now. All I can tell you is the purpose of cultivation is to get close to the Heavenly Path. The closer one gets to the Heavenly Path, the less control the Heavenly Path has over one.Sophie nodded and said, “Mhm. Getting close to the Heavenly Path means getting close to the world’s secret. You’ll be able to predict the future. You may even be able to resist the Heavenly Path and change the course of fate.”Their explanation was too profound, and James could not understand.James asked, “Then, what should I do now?”Sophie replied, “Go out and complete the challenges, of course.”Nova nodded and said, “Yeah. Sophie’s right. Plus, I think it’s very unusual for the Provenance to appear right now. Under normal circumstances,
Hearing the sound, James looked over.In the distance, a man quickly flew toward him, appearing in just a few seconds.James saw the man’s appearance. He did not look too old, about twenty-five or twenty-six. He wore black armor and had a long sword on his waist. He stood a few meters away and looked at James with a grim and hostile expression.“Who are you?”James was puzzled as he could not recognize the man before him.Enemies?The man in black armor said, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Quade Hach from the Overworld.”Hearing the Overworld, James had a bad premonition in his heart. He had slaughtered many Overworld Outsiders and had grievances with those from the Overworld.After a brief shock, James clasped his fists together and said, “Pleased to meet you, Quade…”“The Son of Heaven and Magnus were my juniors.”Quade’s expression was grim. At that moment, powerful energy erupted from his body. James was knocked into the distance as though a mountain had crashed into him
Quade was strong, and his attacks contained destructive power.James knew it would be impossible to kill Quade without using Sacrilegious Ascension.At that moment, his energy reservoirs let out a few waves of True Energy. They permeated his whole body and shattered his spine. He took a step forward, and heaven and earth's power gathered toward him.His body absorbed heaven and earth’s power and formed a new spine.He took a step forward, and Quade felt a powerful force crushing his body.However, the power was not enough to knock him back.Quade gripped the long black sword and slashed at James.His sword slashed out a storm.James took several steps forward, and a few of his vertebrae were reformed. At the same time, he dispersed the storm.Sacrilegious Ascension was a potent signature martial art skill of the Primordial Divine Ape Race. After James took a few steps forward, Quade was knocked back by the force. Meanwhile, James continued to step forward.Soon, he took thirt
After Quade killed James, another person appeared before he could catch his breath.It was a powerful person who had much stronger energy than him.After a brief contact, he was knocked away.Another fierce battle broke out in the area.At that moment, James was lying weakly among the ruins below them.His strength had improved tremendously after casting Sacrilegious Ascension. However, it was only comparable to the strength of someone at the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair.Meanwhile, Quade had reached the peak of the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair and was close to the Seventh Stair.Although their strength were both in the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair, the gap between them was relatively big.James was severely injured but not dead yet.The Demonic Lotus reformed his body, so Quade’s strength was not enough to kill him.Sensing the movement above him, James knew another fierce battle had broken out.Thus, he remained under the ruins in the ground and did not show hi
