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
Henry rushed in to report the situation on the battlefield. Enraged, James smashed his table and roared, “How dare they?!” Henry continued, “The Imperial Army has advanced rapidly. Based on their speed, they should be able to disembark on the East Sea within a day.” “Use weapons of mass destruction,” James said with a solemn expression. Then, under his order, Sol launched its weapons of mass destruction. However, as there were many powerful cultivators in the Imperial Army such as Jairo Zymir, the weapons were simply deflected. Unscathed, the army advanced rapidly. James had arrived at the command center in Wyrmstead. Through the satellite images, he witnessed the scene where the weapons of mass destruction were deflected. Henry furrowed his eyebrows and said, “They are at least at the Mage Rank and above…” “Interesting…” James said coldly, “I didn’t expect the Sun Empire to have powerful cultivators like these. It appears that someone must have been assisting them secr
At the port in the East Sea… The situation was dire, so the army occupied the entire area. As the 400,000-strong army arrived from the Celestial Abode, they appeared on land, in mid-air, or even on the water's surface. They were all wearing black armor, on which a black dragon was carved. Not only that, but they also wore swords on their waists. The armor was specially tailored for them by Sophie. Although they were not top-notch armor, they passed as objects of acceptable quality. “Greetings, General!” they spoke in unison. Seeing this, the other armies were stunned. James, on the other hand, was overjoyed. This army had been cultivating inside the Celestial Abode’s Time Chamber many years ago in preparation for the apocalypse. However, they were part of the reserves, and the time had finally come for them to appear. James wanted to deter the world from attacking them. He wished to let everyone know that Sol and Wyrmstead were not fragmented and disunited. Not only that,
