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.
From afar, a loud voice rumbled through the sky.Following the sound, a cloud of Demonic Energy appeared in the distance. The Demonic Energy gathered together and formed a black lotus. A man was seated in a lotus position at the center of the ominous, obsidian flower.The man was dressed in a black robe and black mask.In his seat, James spoke in a cold voice, “You’re very brazen, Marquis.”He obtained a lot of information from Sophie.Although the demons had left the earth before it was sealed, they left behind an organisation called the Demon Castle.The Demon Castle had members spread throughout the Three Thousand Worlds.James wore a mask and pretended to be a prominent figure from the Demon Castle.Marquis saw the black lotus. Even though he was a Sage of a high rank, he felt intimidated by the black lotus’ dangerous aura.He was startled and shaken to the core.“W-Who are you?”Marquis took James for a member of the Demon Race because of the Demonic Energy coming from
Marquis did not recognize the person sitting on the black lotus.However, he could sense that the black lotus had a unique aura—Pure Demonic Energy.The token was also extraordinary. It felt like he was up against a powerful demon.Thus, he did not dare question James’ order and ordered his army to retreat.Following his order, his troops quickly withdrew from the area.The Ancient Realm’s powerhouses stood with their jaws agape.They would have died today if not for the mysterious person that had shown up.“Who’s this person?”“Why did he save us?”Everyone was puzzled.After Marquis retreated with his army, James also left. After leaving the Ancient Clan’s territory, he changed back into his previous clothes and returned to the area.When he reached back to the scene of the commotion, Farley had already dispelled the seal on his cultivation base and was helping the others.As soon as James appeared, Yoan asked, “Where did you go, James? I’ve been looking everywhere for yo
“Father, the people who’ll be granted permission to enter the Pagoda of Flames haven’t been determined yet.”“Then, that should be settled as quickly as possible.”Farley sighed slightly and said, “Our clan has sustained severe losses, and we’ll need at least a few years to fully recover from today’s tragedy. Get Elder Thoryn to make the appropriate arrangements. After the situation with Pagoda of Flames has been sorted out, our family will go into seclusion and won’t wander around the Ancient Realm.”Quintina nodded. “Alright.”“By the way, did James come to the Ancient Clan to access the Pagoda of Flames too?” Once again, Farley brought up James.Quintina explained James’ original intentions for coming to the Ancient Clan.Farley finally learned James’ purpose for coming here. He also learned that James chose to surrender his match against Harold.“Tell Elder Thoryn to give James a spot in the top ten. Alright, I’ll be going to mediate in seclusion now.”After Farley finish
