“Wait outside, Quintina,” James urged her again.Quintina explained, “Father, this is Sir Yoan’s disciple. He said he could save you, so I brought him here to see what he can do.”Farley showed Quintina a vulnerable expression when he heard the news.He understood how Quintina was feeling and did not want to disappoint her. He told her, “You can stay outside for the time being, Quintina. I’ll have a few words with him.”“Okay.” Quintina nodded and turned to leave.After she left, Farley’s gaze turned to James. With a faint smile, he asked, “Young man, you were sent by the Divinity Sect, weren’t you? The Divine Holy Emperor didn’t intend to bring his disciples into our territory just to gain a spot in the Pagoda of Flames, right? He’s trying to find out whether I’m still alive.”Farley thought James was a spy sent by the Divine Holy Emperor from the Divinity Sect.James’ brows furrowed, and he replied, “What are you talking about? I’m a disciple of the Welkin Academy. My teacher
The Demonic Energy in Farley’s body was oppressive and terrifying.James absorbed the vigorous Demonic Energy through his palm, allowing it to seep into his entire body.At that moment, his body felt like it had been starving for a long time as it greedily absorbed the Demonic Energy. His physical strength immediately increased significantly.In less than a minute, his physical strength had reached a rank equivalent to that of the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair.As he planned, his physical strength had reached even greater heights.James could not help exclaiming, “This energy is so strong.”However, his physical strength reached its limit shortly after, and he could no longer absorb anymore Demonic Energy from Farley’s body.At that moment, the Demonic Lotus in his body also began absorbing Farley’s Demonic Energy. Soon, the Demonic Lotus grew and became even more sinister.Soon, the Demonic Lotus eventually reached its limit.However, James did not stop absorbing the Demon
James nodded. He was unsure of Farley’s plans but would hazard a guess that he intended to mislead the Divinity’s Sect and try to force them into action. Then, he could wipe them all out in one fell swoop.After speaking, Farley sat in a lotus position on the ground and closed his eyes.“Sir Gideon?” James called out with some hesitation.Farley opened his eyes and looked at James, saying, “From this point, I'll be hiding all signs I’m alive. I’ll appear dead to everyone, and the news will surely spread throughout the Ancient Clan. Perhaps it might even become a worldwide sensation. You'll be the only one who knows that I'm in a state of suspended animation. I hope you help me keep it a secret.”James nodded and replied earnestly, “Alright. I won’t tell anyone.”Meanwhile, Quintina was still waiting outside the cave.Two hours had passed, but James had not come out yet.She anxiously paced back and forth, waiting for him.James walked out of the cave just as she was about to ru
As he stood before the coffin, the Divine Holy Emperor conducted himself respectfully.After he bowed, he came closer to the coffin and pushed open the coffin lid.Quintina stood up abruptly and shouted, “What’re you doing? My father is already dead! What are you trying to do to him?!”The Divine Holy Emperor turned to Quintina and apologized, “Sorry for my indescretion. I simply could not bring myself to believe it. The Ancient Clan’s leader is the strongest person in the Ancient Realm. I found it hard to believe he died so easily, so I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes.”After speaking, he turned to the person lying in the coffin.Farley’s face was ashen and had no trace of color. There were no signs of life in his corpse-like body.After sensing no energy from Farley, the Divine Holy Emperor sighed in relief. He turned to the Gideons gathered in the main hall and apologized again. “I’m sorry for my disrespectful behavior.”The Divine Holy Emperor slid the lid back on the
“I’m just pondering on something related to cultivating.”James steered the topic away and began to ask Yoan about cultivation.The night passed uneventfully.The next day, many powerhouses from the Ancient Realm gathered outside the main hall on Mount Trinvard.Those who came to the Ancient Clan had a sizeable amount of prestige and renown. Everyone held flowers in their hands and came to pay their respects one by one.Since James was a disciple of the Welkin Academy, he was not qualified to enter the main hall. Thus, he watched from afar.Boom!Suddenly, a loud explosion went off in the distance.Following the sound, an armed man rushed over and appeared in the main hall. He looked at Thoryn in a panic and said, “Elder Thoryn, we have a problem. Our protective formation is under attack.”Boom!!!Another loud explosion ripped through the air.The Ancient Clan’s territory began to quiver and shake.“Insolent fools!”Thoryn’s face darkened, and he said, “Who dares attack ou
The crowd was shocked at the mention of Curse Magic.All the powerhouses present immediately heightened their guard.Curse Magic had an infamous reputation.It was a supreme martial art skill of the Demon Race, and only demons were capable of learning it.The Divine Holy Emperor stared at the man in the black robe in the distance and said solemnly, “A-Are you a demon?”“Haha!” The man in the black robe cackled.“Everyone here must die today! Once you’re all dead, the Ancient Realm will belong to me! I’ll be the sole Emperor of this world. Remember my name! It’s Marquis Tenzin!”At that moment, all the elites present gathered outside the Ancient Clan’s main hall.There were very famous powerhouses.The weakest among them was currently at the Tribulation Rank. Many of them were at the Sage Rank. Each on their own were powerful enough to stir up a storm in the Ancient Realm.The Welkin Academy’s headmaster also had a solemn expression.His rank was close to the Divine Holy Empe
Quintina was the most surprised by Farley’s sudden appearance. Shocked, she shouted, “Father!”As soon as she opened her mouth, the Curse Magic targeted her. She fell to the ground and spat out blood.Everyone was struggling to withstand the Curse Magic.Even the Divine Holy Emperor had to sit in a lotus position on the ground to bear the pain from the Curse Magic. He was taken aback and he hissed in his heart, ‘Damn it, Farley. What happened? Why is he still alive?’Hovering in the sky, Marquis looked at Farley, who flew out of the coffin. Under his mask, he also had a startled expression.Years ago, Marquis schemed to severely injure Farley because he could not defeat him. Before he learned of Farley’s death, he was afraid to step foot in the Ancient Clan’s domain. He only struck with his army when he learned that Farley was dead.Unexpectedly, Farley was actually alive.Marquis was livid at the Divine Holy Emperor. ‘Damn you, Divine Holy Emperor. Farley wasn’t dead yet. Why d
Marquis floated above the Ancient Clan’s Mount Trinvard, and Demonic Energy surrounded his body.Black Demonic Energy covered the entire sky and formed strange ancient characters, each containing strange but extraordinary power.At that moment, a bloodied Farley climbed out of the ruins.Earlier he acted a bit carelessly. His strength had not fully returned, so he should have hidden for a while and waited until his strength returned to its optimum state before revealing himself.His current state was still unable to resist the Curse Magic, and he was no match for Marquis.All the powerhouses gathered in the Ancient Clan could not resist the Curse Magic’s overwhelming burden on their bodies. Only one person was unaffected by it, and that was James.James knew the situation had taken a turn for the worse. After Farley was defeated, he quietly snuck away.Not even Marquis noticed someone had fled because his Curse Magic had already spread throughout the Ancient Clan’s territory.
