James had suffered from being struck by lightning for two weeks now, and his Demonic Energy was utterly depleted. Regardless, as his physical body was extraordinary, he was not turned to ashes by lightning strikes. Rather, it was charred and burned repeatedly. Meanwhile, his soul was severely damaged. However, since had a strong physical body, his soul managed to remain intact. Other cultivators would have died long ago. Yuvaan watched James’ condition intently. To him, James’ fate did not concern him. If he perished, he would simply imprison his soul and seize his physical body. “Haha… His physical body truly is impressive. Others would have died long ago.” Yuvaan was stunned by James’ physical body. His desire to seize it only grew more intense. James’ vision was blurry, and he could feel his life hanging by a thread. ‘Am I going to die?’ That thought sprung to mind. He did not want to die. However, he could not escape because he was afraid of the Divinity Sect’s repris
James’ voice boomed. Then, he entered the seal and disappeared from Mount Bane. “Dammit!” Yuvaan’s face darkened as he cursed, “Who the hell is helping him behind the scenes?” The scene was broadcasted live all over the globe. Upon seeing James escape, Thea breathed a sigh of relief. Before James left, he summoned what remained of his strength and roared. After that, he soon lost consciousness. As he entered the seal, he had no idea where he would end up. After some time, James slowly regained consciousness. He was feeling sluggish. When he tried getting up, an excruciating pain came from inside his body. Then, upon realizing a white curtain before him, he murmured, “Am I dead? Where am I?” “You’re awake.” Just as he was puzzled, a voice spoke. James tried turning his head to see where the voice came from. However, as he was gravely injured, excruciating pain came from inside his body the moment he moved. “Your injuries are severe. You shouldn’t move around,” the vo
After being continuously struck by lightning for two weeks, his physical body suffered terrible injuries, and his soul was damaged. Even though he had rested for a month, his injuries had yet to recover. Now, he had only regained consciousness. However, although his injuries were still visible, his Demonic Energy had been slowly recovering. His recovery speed would gradually increase. James lay on the bed and rested. At the same time, outside the room… “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” A glamorous-looking woman wearing a white dress looked at the chambermaid who was in a hurry and admonished her, “Stop making such a fuss! You’re a servant of the Yanis household!” “My Lady, the Zaydons are here to discuss your engagement!” Hearing this, the woman frowned. This was the Ancient Realm, the most powerful world among the three thousand Sealed Realms. The woman’s name was Melany Yanis, a member of the Yanis household of Kineallen City, which was located inside Doncaster.
At that moment, Zaid stepped forward and said smilingly, “Sect Elder Zaydon, my daughter has no wish to marry at the moment. Why don’t we postpone this matter for now? Maybe my daughter will come to her senses in the future.” Since the Zaydons were the leader among the three great families of Kineallen City, the Yanis did not wish to provoke them unnecessarily. “Melany, you are destined to be mine.” Justin looked at Melany with a ravenous look on his face and said, “Soon, you will come to the Zaydens’ household and beg me to marry you.” Then, he turned to leave. The Zaydons’ Sect Elder glared at Zaid and smirked. “Ungrateful wretch!” After he spoke, he turned to leave. Once they left, Zaid sighed dejectedly and said, “Melany, you shouldn’t have turned down their offer. You should understand what kind of situation we’re in at the moment. After suckering up with the Divinity Sect, the Zaydons have grown ever more abrasive and arrogant. No one dares challenge them in Kineallen
Melany Yanis was widely regarded as the most beautiful woman in Kineallen City, not to mention the most kind-hearted. She would never throw tantrums, and she acted with kindness toward everyone, no matter their status or wealth. She saved James because she did not want him to die in the wilderness. “I don’t know who you are nor where you came from. In any case, I won’t be able to take care of you. Before I leave, I’ll make the necessary arrangements.” Melany had constructed a shelter in Kineallen City where she would bring the people she saved after their injuries had healed. Just as Melany was murmuring to herself, James suddenly asked, “Was it you who saved my life?” “…” She was stunned. “Y-You can speak?” “Of course.” James said, “I only couldn’t speak sooner because my injuries were too grave. By the way, where is this place?” Over the past month, James had been slipping in and out of consciousness. He had no idea where he landed after leaving Earth. “This is the
Back when he was still gravely injured, he could not even turn his head. As such, he was not able to take a glimpse of his savior. “Miss, may I know who your lady is? By the way, where did she go?” “She’s called Melany Yanis, and she has gone to Doncaster City, the core city of Doncaster since the Welkin Academy is currently admitting new disciples. Ms. Melany wants to join the academy,” the woman answered. Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows. The Welkin Academy? What the hell was that? He asked, “What’s the Welkin Academy?” The woman suppressed a snicker and said, “You aren’t a cultivator I guess, or you would have heard about the Welkin Academy.” James simply smiled and said nothing. The woman explained, “There are a few influential forces in the Ancient Realm, primarily the Sect, the Academy, and the Clan.” James asked puzzledly, “What do you mean?” The woman said, “The Sect refers to the Divinity Sect.” Hearing this, James took a deep breath. Though he k
Though his physical strength was at the Immortal Ascension’s First Stair, his rank had not increased. In fact, he was only at the Herculean Fifth Layer. After fighting against the beast to evaluate his current strength, James hurriedly made his way over to Doncaster City. For the next three days, James was on the move. Three days later, he arrived at his destination. As he left the mountain range, a huge city a thousand years old appeared before him. Its walls were hundreds of meters high, and they were constructed from grey granite. Outside the walls, there were many armor-clad guards armed with swords garrisoned. The words ‘Doncaster City’ were carved onto the city gate. As James gazed at the city before him, he murmured, “This should be Doncaster City, the core city of Doncaster. I wonder if the Welkin Academy is still admitting disciples. I hope I can make it.” James had nowhere to go in this foreign land. Since the Welkin Academy was the strongest in the Ancient Real
The only people he was worried about were his family. If he knew this was going to happen, he would have brought them into the Celestial Abode and cultivated in there. “I know that they will be fine,” James said anxiously. Before his trial, Cody had promised he would protect Thea. Not only that, but he also had Marcello’s assistance. As a member of the Demon Race, not to mention that James had a close relationship with her, Marcello would not sit idly by as Yuvaan slaughtered his family. Thinking about this, James took a deep breath. He changed the topic and asked, “By the way, what rank are you at now?” Henry smiled smugly and said, “I’ve been cultivating in the Time Chamber all this while, so I’ve already reached the Eighth Inner Gate of the Supernatural rank. Soon, I’ll be a Herculean!” “Mhm.” James nodded. With the Time Chamber, Henry and the others should be able to increase their strength drastically in a short period of time. “What about the four-hundred-thousand
