James accepted the elixir. As he consumed the elixir, a warm current circulated throughout his body, rejuvenating his gravely injured body and restoring his True Essence and Demonic Energy that had been depleted. Lucifer, too, consumed an elixir and healed his injuries. About thirty minutes later, the two stood up at the same time. Lucifer looked at James and praised him. “I underestimated you, James. Your strength far exceeded my expectations. If I had known the outcome of this battle, I wouldn’t have given you a month to achieve so many breakthroughs. “However, the ultimate providence on Earth has yet to appear. So, I’ll be in closed-door meditation for the time being. I hope you won’t disappoint me by then.” As he said that, he turned to leave, while a horde of beasts followed close behind. James breathed a sigh of relief. This was a hard-won battle. He had performed almost every technique and cultivation method, except for one. If Lucifer refused to concede defeat, he
There were some accounts to settle. Sophie had created a Magic Circle after gaining insight into the Infinity Steles. Meanwhile, James was able to catalyze the Magic Circle formed by the Infinity Steles. The Magic Circle possessed devastating strength and could annihilate all that stood in its path. However, there were still many threats remaining on Earth, and Yuvaan Zymir was one of them. Yuvaan of the Divinity Sect was like a ticking time bomb. That was why James had to annihilate him as soon as possible. “We’ll return to Wyrmstead first.” James said. Then, they returned to Wyrmstead. Many core cultivators of Earth gathered at the main hall of Wyrmstead Palace. However, they were weak. The strongest among them were the Omniscient Deity and Langston. The others were simply too insignificant to be considered a force to be reckoned with. “James, you have contributed significantly to the safety of all of humanity. If not for you, the beast army would have invaded us, cau
As he said that, he turned to leave and headed toward the palace’s courtyard. Then, he entered a room and entered the Celestial Abode. In the courtyard of the Celestial Abode, Sophie, who was wearing a white dress, sat beside James. Her features were fine and delicate, and her appearance was glamorous. Wearing a satisfied smile on her face, she said, “Congratulations on winning the battle and resolving the Second Calamity. The humans on Earth may live in relative safety for the time being.” James smiled bitterly. He considered himself fortunate to be able to defeat Lucifer, whose strength was comparable to his. “By the way…” Upon being reminded of something, James asked, “Sophie, can I defeat a Sage using the Infinity Steles’ Magic Circle?” Sophie nodded slightly and said, “Of course, the Magic Circle formed by the one hundred and eight Infinity Steles is incredibly powerful. Besides, the stronger you are, the more terrifying the Magic Circle’s power. However, as you have only
As James had been out and about all these years, he did not know that his daughter was a Grand Supernatural. “I don’t know what my Supernatural Power is.” Winnie shook her head. Then, she jumped out of James’ embrace and catalyzed True Energy, forming a scythe. The scythe was black in color, and ancient inscriptions were circulating inside the scythe. Winnie waved the black scythe and smiled, revealing her dimples. “As my True Energy increased, this thing suddenly appeared in my body. I don’t know what it is either.” James stared at the scythe. He had no idea what it was. “Winnie, follow me to the Celestial Abode.” Perhaps Sophie would know. Then, James brought Winnie and Callan into the Celestial Abode. In the City Lord’s Mansion, Sophie’s expression turned grim upon seeing the black scythe in Winnie’s hand. James asked, “Sophie, do you know what this is?” Sophie did not answer him. Pensive, she furrowed her eyebrows. About a minute later… “The Scythe of
“In essence, those who possess the Scythe of Judgment are a walking Heavenly Path and are capable of passing judgment on every living being on its behalf. Legend has it that the Scythe of Judgment was born out of the Heavenly Path and was formed by the Law of Heaven.” Hearing this, James was dumbfounded. “What? Winnie’s scythe is that impressive?” He was stunned. The Scythe of Judgment passed judgment on everything on behalf of the Heavenly Path. What power was this? “Indeed.” Sophie nodded and said, “In the records of ancient texts left behind by Emperor Jabari, Heaven’s Adjudicators once existed in ancient times. They were merciless robots who passed judgment on all living beings who transgressed the Law of Heaven on behalf of the Heavenly Path. “However, later on, the humans did something that completely rebelled against the Heavenly Path. From that day onward, Heaven’s Adjudicators vanished without a trace, and the seals that Heaven placed inside the bodies of all hum
James never thought that his own daughter would be chosen by the Heavenly Path and wield the Scythe of Judgment. Now, he had a rough idea of what the Scythe of Judgment was. It was rather similar to the Blade of Justice, which was capable of passing judgment on all who had committed crimes and violated Solean law. Winnie, on the other hand, passed judgment on those who transgressed the Heavenly Path. However, how did one transgress the Heavenly Path? He had no idea at all. After all, his current strength was far too weak to reach the point of understanding it. “A bright era is upon us. Likewise, the darkest age in history has arrived.” Wearing a solemn expression, Sophie furrowed her eyebrows and said slowly, “In the era when there were still Heaven’s Adjudicators, there were countless Grand Emperors. I believe that after a period of time when these geniuses grow up and reach the Grand Emperor Rank, the world will descend into chaos.” As this was too distant from James at the m
James smiled and asked, “Is something the matter?” Cynthia took a seat beside James and said, “James, aren’t you the greatest fighter among humans? Now, every human wishes to be admitted as your disciple. I encountered a few problems while I was cultivating, so I came here to seek your advice.” “Sure thing.” James nodded. In the following days, Cynthia asked James about some difficulties she encountered in her cultivation, and James answered all her questions without reservation. During the time when James stayed in Wyrmstead Palace, some old friends from the past came to visit him. However, he spent most of his time with Winnie. Meanwhile, at the Divinity Sect on Mount Bane… A few days passed following the battle between James and Lucifer. Meanwhile, Yuvaan was experiencing sleepless nights. The terrifying strength James and the Infinity Steles had demonstrated deeply unnerved him. If the Infinity Steles could demonstrate such strength even in James’ hands, what would
James was living a leisurely life in Wyrmstead. He originally planned to find Yuvaan and annihilate him. However, after learning about Winnie’s situation, he temporarily put those matters aside and focused on spending time with her. Soon, a few weeks passed. On the 18th of July, sirens blared in the early-warning surveillance room in Sol. “Reporting, a missile is heading toward Driftveil City!” “Intercept the missile immediately before it hits Driftveil City!” Today, the senior authorities of Sol were in panic mode. Meanwhile, James was in the courtyard of Wyrmstead Palace. Henry rushed in, “Something terrible has happened, James!” James released his grip on Winnie and looked at Henry who had a worried expression on his face, asking, “What’s wrong?” Henry hurriedly said, “I just received a coded message from Sol. The Sun Empire has launched a few missiles toward Driftveil City in Sol. Moreover, satellite images have shown that the Imperial Army of the Sun Empire has b
