The deafening roar of monsters reverberated throughout the mountains. “I-Is this Mount Walvern?” Henry glanced at the mountain range before him and looked at James, saying, “We should be able to enter the top three, right?” James smiled faintly and said, “Unless something unexpected comes up, we should be able to enter the top three.” He was confident in Henry, Delainey, and his own strength. Putting aside the fact that Delainey was at the Mage Rank, Henry was at the Immortal Ascension’s Ninth Stair, making him one of the highest-ranked cultivators present. Besides, James’ physical strength was at the middle stage of Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair, making him comparable to Henry in strength. Not only that, but he also had many ultimate moves hidden up his sleeves. By working together, they should be able to annihilate even monsters in the Mage Rank. After all, who else would be capable of accomplishing such a feat? That was why James was fully assured that they would be ab
Quintina hesitated, unsure which team she should be a part of. She compared James’ and Yunus’ strengths. Though James could withstand Hayden’s blows, Yunus was at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair. As such, there would not be any disparities between them whatsoever. However, upon being reminded of James’ haughtiness yesterday, she felt irritated. “I’m going with you, Yunus.” Quintina made her choice. Hearing this, a slight grin crept up on Yunus’ face as he said, “Quintina, we’ll surely make it into the top ten. I promise you.” Seeing this, James could not care less. After all, he had no plans whatsoever to bring her along. He was simply messing around with her. “Good luck, James.” Quintina gritted her teeth and said, “You’ll surely regret this. I bet you won’t even make it into the top ten.” James smiled faintly and turned to leave without saying a single word, while Henry and Delainey followed close behind. Under the disciples’ watchful gaze, the trio entered Mo
The monster had the appearance of an ox. It had a single horn on its head and wings on its back, and its entire body was covered in black scales. As it stood, it exuded a terrifying aura. “Die, humans!” It roared. Stunned, Henry said, “This monster is at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair. James, leave this creature to me. I haven’t been able to use my strength after so many years of cultivation. Just sit back and watch the show.” Just as Henry was about to charge toward the monster, James made his move. A black stone tablet materialized in the air and began growing in size. In the next instant, it was already hundreds of meters in length. Mysterious symbols were carved on the tablet. It possessed terrifying power and flew toward the monster. It was the Infinity Stele. Though James had had it in his possession for quite some time, he had never used it as his current rank was insufficient for him to gain insight into the Inscription of the Way recorded on the Infinity S
As clouds blotted the sky, they gathered by the bonfire and gobbled down their meal as the smell of succulent meat filled the air. Then, James took some spices he had obtained from the Celestial Abode and sprinkled them on the roasted meat. “Here you go.” He handed Delainey and Henry a piece of meat each, and the three gobbled down the roasted meat. As this was the meat of a monster at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair, it possessed great energy that served as nourishment to cultivators. Although they could not compare to high-quality medicinal pills and elixirs, they were nonetheless better than some low-quality ones. “This tastes delicious!” As Henry ate, he asked, “When do you plan to return to Earth, James?” “…” James froze. He wanted to return to Earth as soon as possible. However, what could he possibly do there? He would have to scurry about like a rat for fear of being hunted down. Instead of returning a loser, it made better sense for him to cultivate in th
Meanwhile, at the closed-door meditation sanctuary of the Divine Holy Emperor… The sanctuary was a concealed underground building full of black granites. On the ground sat a man wearing a black robe, whose face was pale and devoid of color. Creak… At that moment, the door opened, and the Divine Holy Emperor walked on. The man in the black robe looked at him and asked, “How did it go?” The Divine Holy Emperor said, “I’ve sent everyone to Mount Walvern.” “Very good.” Overjoyed, the man said, “Finally, there’s hope for Lucifer Menachem to be resurrected.” The Divine Holy Emperor said, “I don’t care what you’re up to, Marquis Tenzin, but since I’ve done everything you’ve requested of me, when do you plan to hold up your end of the bargain?” The man before him was none other than Marquis Tenzin, who had been forced to retreat by James at the Ancient Clan. A smile crept up on Marquis’ face as he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll keep my promise once Lucifer is resurrected.” The
James scanned his surroundings. Every plant in the region had long shriveled to death, caused by the adverse effects of Demonic Energy. James asked puzzledly, “How weird… Why is there Demonic Energy here?” Delainey chimed in, “I can sense terrifying power in this region. Let’s turn back and search elsewhere. It’s not worth risking our lives for this.” Henry nodded in agreement, saying, “We should search somewhere else. Mount Walvern is huge, after all. We don’t necessarily have to search this place.” James nodded. “Alright then, let’s turn back.” The three decided against heading further. Instead, they changed course and searched elsewhere. After leaving the place, they flew full speed ahead in search of powerful monsters. Soon, they entered a marshland. Black bubbles rose, and some black fumes flew out from the marshland where many beasts crawled, including some venomous snakes of different sizes. Some were as big as a thumb, while others were several meters long. Bo
In the marshland, angry roars could be heard. The white python’s massive body rose into the air, and it spat out a Poison Gas Wave from its mouth. This was, in essence, True Essence Wave that contained terrible poison and was deadly upon contact. Seeing this, the three hurriedly retreated. The fierce battle ensued. James did not intervene but instead watched the battle from afar. The battle had attracted the attention of many, who gathered to observe the situation. Soon, there were thousands of people watching from the sidelines. These thousands of people were mostly in groups of three to five, and those who dared approach were confident in their own strength. Upon watching the battle, James could not help but praise Quintina, “As expected of a Grand Supernatural… Although Quintina has yet to gain insight into the Inscription of the Way, she was able to perform them. As these inscriptions possess enormous strength, they were able to fight the python to a standstill.” Henry
The three were very overbearing. “Dammit!” Yunus’ expression darkened as he cursed, “Think you can bully us?” Then, he took his sword and initiated an attack. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the one holding the demon elixir, Harold. His sword emitted a dazzling Sword Light, he plunged it straight toward his opponent’s vital point. Harold hurriedly retreated. Even though Yunus’ speed was extraordinary, his attacks could not reach Harold. As Harold raised his hand, powerful energy materialized from his sleeves, blocking the incoming Sword Energy. Boom! An explosion occurred when the powerful energy collided with the Sword Energy. Both Harold and Yunus were sent flying by the great force. Around them, a crowd had gathered. “I didn’t expect the three of them to join forces!” “One of them is Harold Carmelo, a Grand Supernatural of the Divinity Sect and one of the strongest of his generation. The other two, meanwhile, are disciples of the Infernal Emperor and Emp
