The Divine Holy Emperor stepped forward and said, “I agree wholeheartedly, or else the Demon Race will think we’re pushovers. However, since the Dragon Abyss’ entrance will soon open and the Grand Tournament came to an early end, we need to finish the tournament as soon as possible. That way, we can select distinguished cultivators to enter the Dragon Abyss.” “Holy Emperor, as the organizer, I’ll leave everything in your hands.” “We will obey you.” “But how do we proceed?” The Divine Holy Emperor thought about it and said, “Now, we can only hold a martial arts tournament just like in the past." They discussed their next course of action. After discussion, the Divine Holy Emperor left and headed to his closed-door meditation sanctuary at the back of the mountain. Marquis was still there. "What the hell is going on?” the Divine Holy Emperor immediately questioned him. Marquis sat in a lotus position on the ground as his body exuded Demonic Energy. He glanced at the Divi
As a Sect Elder’s disciple at the Welkin Academy, James was assigned a room of his own. Just as he was resting in the courtyard while discussing things with Henry and Delainey, the Divinity Sect’s disciples appeared. “James Caden, the Patriarch wishes to see you. Follow me to the main hall of the Divinity Sect’s main peak.” Puzzled, James stood up and asked, “What for?” The Divinity Sect’s disciple said, “I don’t know either. There are many people gathered there at the moment.” James turned to look at Henry and Delainey, saying, “Wait here, I’ll be back soon.” Then, he looked at the disciple and said, “Let’s go.” “Please, follow me.” With the disciple’s guidance, James headed to the main hall of the Divinity Sect’s main peak. “Please enter,” the disciple said. “Mhm.” James nodded and entered the hall. About a hundred people were gathered in the hall. There, James spotted a few familiar faces─the Welkin Academy’s headmaster, his master, and of course, the Divinity Sect
“Men, bring me the magic mirror!” As the Divine Holy Emperor ordered, a few disciples of the Divinity Sect walked in while carrying a bronze mirror. The mirror was two meters in height, and mysterious symbols were carved on it. The Divine Holy Emperor said, “This is a magic mirror. As long as you have cultivated the Demonic Arts or Demonic Energy, everything will be revealed by the bronze mirror.” At that moment, James had stood up, and the mirror was before him. Standing before the mirror, a bronze light shone on him. At that moment, the Demonic Energy inside his body churned. Unable to suppress the hidden Demonic Energy inside his body any longer, threads of Demonic Energy materialized. Soon, majestic Demonic Energy enveloped his body. “What?” “What powerful Demonic Energy!” Upon seeing this, everyone in the main hall stood up and exclaimed. “James, you…” Even Yoan was taken aback. James never thought that the Divinity Sect had an object that could reveal his Demoni
Since James’ Demonic Body was no longer a secret, he narrated the events that unfolded in front of everyone. “The Demon Race went to great lengths to resurrect someone called Lucifer Menachem. Do you know who he is?” The Welkin Academy’s headmaster stepped forward and said, “Tell us what you know, James. Justice and truth will prevail in the end.” “Understood, Headmaster.” James continued, “Lucifer Menachem is the only blood kin of the Demon Emperor in ancient times. During that battle long ago, he foresaw his own death. So, he sealed away his descendant in Mount Walvern. Mount Walvern has always reeked of Demonic Energy. Anyone who has been there before knows of this. The Demon Race’s Protector said that he learned an ancient arcane art, but he required the blood of many distinguished cultivators to undo the seal left behind by the Demon Emperor. “I have no idea why the Grand Tournament was held at Mount Walvern. Someone must have arranged for this. I also feel that someone mu
As the snicker echoed throughout the hall, a black aura suddenly appeared and gathered together, forming a man in a black overcoat. Seeing this, everyone retreated and stared cautiously at Marquis who appeared. “Hahaha!” The Divine Holy Emperor roared in laughter, “That’s right, it was me all along. But so what?” Actually, Marquis was here at the Divinity Sect to annihilate every cultivator here in one fell swoop. The Divine Holy Emperor knew that his actions would arouse suspicion after the Grand Tournament was over. That was why he made preparations in advance. The cultivators stared cautiously at Marquis. Although they were some of the greatest fighters in the world, they knew how powerful Marquis was, especially his Curse Magic. The moment he performed his Curse Magic, none would stand a chance against him. The headmaster questioned, “What do you think you are doing, Holy Emperor?” “Me?” The Divine Holy Emperor smirked coldly, “For my strength, of course. I have been
Upon Farley’s appearance, James breathed a sigh of relief. That was because Marquis was so strong that everyone here was no match for him even when they combined their strength. There was only one who could stand a chance against him, and that was Farley Gideon whose strength had returned to its peak. James did not linger for long and turned to leave. Marquis stepped forward and tried to seize James. However, Farley’s speed was extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the door of the main hall and blocked his path. Wearing a composed look on his face, he said coldly, “We couldn’t fight to our heart’s content the last time we fought. Allow me to test the strength of your Curse Magic once more.” Then, a powerful aura burst forth from within. At that moment, James had rushed out of the main hall. Then, he heard the deafening blasts of explosions behind him. The moment Farley and Marquis fought, the main hall was instantly destroyed. Afraid of staying for anoth
That was because he could not intervene in the battle between superpowers. With the headmaster’s assistance, he hurriedly left. Soon, he arrived outside the Divinity Sect. However, the entire place was surrounded by a group of men in black robes. Standing in mid-air was the Demon Race’s Protector James had encountered at Mount Walvern. “I can’t leave now…” James’ face paled. There was nowhere else for him to run. He returned to the Divinity Sect once more. However, a fierce battle had broken out. The Divinity Sect’s Patriarch had joined forces with Marquis Tenzin to fight against the other cultivators. Mount Divinity disintegrated. The battle aura was so overwhelming that even James’ blood ran cold. He did not dare wander about. After diving into a pile of rubble, he entered the Celestial Abode, which gradually shrank until it was the size of a grain of sand hidden deep beneath the rubble. At the same time, many cultivators were gathered inside the Celestial Abode. They
As for the fate of everyone outside, James could not care less. He was not a savior. As for these cultivators here, he only saved them incidentally within the range of his abilities. As this was the Celestial Abode, James disappeared and reappear in the City Lord’s Mansion in the blink of an eye. “James!” Quintina stomped her feet. Meanwhile, Henry and Delainey were in the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion. Though the two entered the Celestial Abode, they had no idea what had happened. James walked in. Immediately, Delainey stood up and asked, “What’s wrong, James? What happened outside?” James narrated the chain of events that unfolded. Hearing this, they finally understood. James said, “The Ancient Realm is in chaos, and there’s a high possibility that this place might be conquered by the Demon Race. Meanwhile, my identity has been exposed, and the Demon Race wishes to exterminate me. I can’t stay here any longer. Once the battle outside dies down, I’ll find an opp
