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,
Harold’s attacks only managed to tear through James’ clothes, leaving only a minor wound on James' body. However, his force was overwhelming. James’ body was not pierced by Harold’s sword, but his Blood Energy churned. If he had not suppressed it, he would have vomited a mouthful of blood. “H-How terrifying…” “What a terrifying physical body…” “I thought that his sword technique is invincible. Turns out that his physical body is even more impressive.” “He must have cultivated his physical body hard.” After some time, the crowd exclaimed. “You…” Even Harold could not believe his eyes. Although he summoned his full strength, he could not even injure James. Just how powerful was his physical body? Quintina’s mouth was agape. She remembered that James was able to withstand Hayden’s blows back at the Welkin Academy. However, Harold was far stronger, not to mention that he was using a sword this time. ‘His physical strength must have increased once more. Now, not even Har
”James…” Quintina spoke. James turned his head and asked, “Is something the matter?” Quintina was at a loss for words. “I-It’s nothing.” Hearing this, James paid no heed to her and walked toward Henry and Delainey. Henry praised him, “You’re impressive, James! I didn’t expect physical body cultivators to be this powerful. If I had known, I’d have followed your path and become invincible.” James said smilingly, “Cultivating the physical body is extremely difficult. I don’t think you can endure the pain.” Displeased, Henry said, “What the hell? Don’t look down on me!” “Alright, alright, I know you can endure pain. We should annihilate a few more powerful monsters and leave this place as soon as possible. I’m extremely interested in heading to the Dragon Abyss. By then, my strength would increase drastically, and my physical strength could even reach the Mage Rank.” Then, the three left and continued searching for monsters in Mount Walvern. However, even after a few days
