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
James walked toward Quintina and said smilingly, “Are you being bullied, Quintina?” Quintina’s face immediately darkened as she said, “This is none of your concern.” James said smilingly, “Why don’t I help you take back what’s yours?” “You?” Quintina looked at him doubtfully. However, she was also concerned that James would steal the limelight, so she advised James, “Just forget it. You won’t stand a chance against them, but we might just be able to fight them to a standstill if we work together.” “No need, just leave everything to me.” James smiled. Just as Harold and the others were about to leave, James suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Seeing this, Harold chuckled, “Aren’t you the one who chickened out? Back at the Ancient Clan, you chose to concede defeat. Now that my strength has increased once more, are you trying to stand up for them?” Harold smirked. James did not even dare fight against him back when they were at the Ancient Clan. Now that his strength had inc
Though Delainey did not know James’ strength, she knew just how powerful his sword technique was. So did Henry, who knew just how dedicated James was in practicing with his sword in the Time Chamber. Delainey said smilingly, “Well, just sit back and watch the show.” Faced with James’ arrogance, Harold said scornfully, “There’s no need for that. I, alone, am enough to deal with you. Feel free to make your move. If you can last three moves against me, I’ll admit defeat and return the elixir to you.” Harold was equally vain, fully assured of his own strength as a Grand Supernatural. James, however, shook his head slightly. Harold asked, puzzled, “What the hell do you mean?” James said coolly, “I have no grievances against you, so there’s no need for me to be so cruel. How about this? Let’s settle this with one move. If you can withstand my attack, I’ll admit defeat, and I won’t interfere in your affairs ever again. “However, if you lose, you’ll have to return the elixir an
Even Yunus could not believe his eyes. James’ sword was pressed against Harold’s neck. James, on the other hand, smiled faintly and sheathed his Primordial Dragon Blade, saying, “You have been defeated, Harold. If I hadn’t gone easy on you, your head would have been rolling on the ground now.” James’ voice boomed. Everyone finally understood that James was unbelievably strong. They took a deep breath. After staring blankly into space for some time, Harold collected himself and roared, “Th-That doesn’t count! Again!” James looked at him and said coldly, “Why? Don’t tell me you plan to renege on your promise. Even if we fight for a hundred rounds, you still won’t stand a chance against me.” James’ sword-fighting was passed down to him by a powerful cultivator in ancient times, and he only perfected the sword technique after a great deal of effort under Sophie’s guidance. Though the sword seemed ordinary, it actually contained numerous marvelous sword techniques. Of course,
