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,
“In about an hour, the two armies will clash head-on.” “Understood, you’re dismissed.” Jairo waved a hand. Then, he contacted Yuvaan who had remained on Mount Bane. “Patriarch, Sol was prepared for this. They have a huge army of cultivators at the Herculean rank numbering in the hundreds of thousands. With my current strength, I’m no match for them. Could you some other powerful cultivators to reinforce us?” Hearing this, Yuvaan’s expression turned grim. A huge army of cultivators at the Herculean rank numbering in the hundreds of thousands? When did Sol amass such a large army? He asked, “Is the intelligence accurate?” “Yes.” “I understand.” Yuvaan hung up the phone. Then, he left the main hall and headed to the courtyard. A strange voice came from one of the rooms there. He arrived at the room’s door and furrowed his eyebrows before knocking on it. “Who’s there?” came a rebuke. “It’s me,” Yuvaan said. “Wait there,” the voice said. A few minutes later, the do
“Twenty minutes?” A faint smile crept up on Bruno’s face as he said, “Perfect timing, I would say. I’ll annihilate them all in one fell swoop. I’m curious to see what else James has under his sleeves.” Bruno had heard about James’ battle against Lucifer. Naturally, he knew that James’ strength was weak. He only managed to defeat Lucifer by using the Infinity Steles. Faced against James, Bruno would not give him the opportunity to even summon the steles. Upon being reminded of the immense power of the Infinity Steles, he gulped. If he could obtain them, who else would stand a chance against him? At that moment, his desire for the Infinity Steles only grew stronger. As the two armies pressed forward, Bruno gave the order to decrease the speed. Meanwhile, James ordered his army to advance at full speed. He had to stop his enemies on the high seas, far away from the East Sea. Otherwise, the consequence would be disastrous for the region. Twenty minutes later, James spotted many c
Hearing this, the other three took a deep breath. James gazed into the distance. In the distance, Bruno could sense a powerful aura coming from inside the Magic Circle. Though he could feel some pressure, he paid no heed to it. That was because he was a Sage, an omnipotent existence. Looking at James before him, his face darkened, “I never thought James would be the one to lead the army this time. In any case, I’ll capture him alive.” Knowing that James had the Infinity Steles, he did not dare mess around. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the air a thousand meters away from James’ army. James asked coldly, “Who are you?” Bruno fixed his gaze on James and the 400,000-strong army behind him. He could sense that the army had merged into a single entity with their aura fused into a single collective. Then, the aura was transferred to the other three leaders before making its way to James. “How bizarre…” He had a bad feeling about this. “Die!” Without answering Jam
