James and the man in a blue robe turned to look at the source of the laughter. From afar, two people approached them. They were a man and a woman. “Marcello… Jace…” Upon seeing them, James furrowed his eyebrows. Why were they here?After some thought, he believed that this was only natural. After all, they came from the Demon Realm and were members of the Demon Race. Meanwhile, the Demon Race was a terrifying force in the Primordial Age. They managed to singlehandedly bring about a collapse of an era. As such, there must be extremely powerful figures among the Demon Race. Since Sophie knew of Elemental Inversion’s existence, there was no way the Demon Race would not be in the know. Marcello walked toward James, glanced at him, and pursed her lips, saying smilingly, “I knew you weren’t an ordinary person. You must have someone’s backing. However, I didn’t expect him or her to know of this place.” James smiled faintly and said, “In that case, I assume you’re here for Element
They turned their heads. A gorgeous woman walked toward them from afar. Though she approached from a distance, she appeared before the crowd in the blink of an eye. The woman was approximately 180 centimeters tall and was wearing a red dress. She had long black hair, delicate features, and fair skin as white as snow. With a smile, she introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Nyasia Ximena. I come from Jodon.” Hearing this, Jace, Lucifer, and the man in a blue robe all took a few steps back. James asked puzzledly, “What’s Jodon?” “It’s a mysterious and terrifying place. There’s no need for you to know all this at the moment, Now, you only need to know that Jodon is comparable to the Demon Race in strength.” “Oh.” James looked at the woman called Nyasia puzzledly. Meanwhile, Nyasia smiled, “I wanted to come to Earth a long time ago. At long last, I’m finally here. Pleased to make your acquaintances.” James smiled and said, “Hi, Nyasia, my name is James Caden.” Marcello
Nyasia had no idea how to decipher the Five-Elements Painting. However, she knew that Willibald would certainly know since he had a powerful backer─his master, who was also terrifying. Indeed, Willibald knew how to decipher the Five-Elements Painting. But he also knew that to obtain Elemental Inversion, he required a great amount of good fortune and not the methods to decipher the painting. He nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I know.” Hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. He said, “My master told me that the Five-Elements Painting is a priceless treasure in the Primeval Age and has been passed down over countless generations. To decipher the Five-Elements Painting, we need five different powers.” Hearing this, Nyasia asked, “Do you mean True Elemental Energy?” “Mhm,” Willibald said. Furrowing his eyebrows, James said, “This is getting complicated. We have acquired such great strength. There’s no way we’ll give up on True Essence and cultivate True Elemental Energy.
A few elderly men were chit-chatting. Meanwhile, James and the others waited outside the gazebo. However, the elderly men seemed to not have noticed them. James furrowed his eyebrows and said, “What’s going on? It seems that they can’t see us.” However, at that moment, an elderly man wearing a golden robe turned suddenly and glanced at him, saying smilingly, “We have company.” The others turned as well and looked at James and the others. Marcello said, “My name is Marcello Mariano. It’s an honor to meet you.” “Haha…” One of the elderly men stroked his chin and smiled at James and the others, saying, “I never expected the Five-Elements Painting we left behind would one day appear to see the light of day again. It even brought us a few youngsters.” At that moment, Sophie’s voice came, “James, this is a scenery from the Primeval Age. The people in front of you should be the Five Ancestral Gods. They do not exist in this era, but they already knew what would happen despite
Marcello had a very high standing in the Demon Race, but she was the first to be eliminated. She stood outside, watching the people in the Five-Elements Painting.Several people were standing outside the gazebo at the foot of the mountain, and mystical inscriptions shrouded all of them. The inscriptions swam around their bodies like tadpoles, emanating colorful rays of light.As he was engulfed by the mystic inscriptions, James did not experience any discomfort. Instead, he felt warm all over his body. It was extremely cozy.This comfort lasted for over a minute before he felt pain. His muscles felt as though they were being torn apart by countless bugs. Then, there was a sharp pain in his head as if worms were crawling inside his skull.The veins in his face were throbbing from the agony. He looked horrifying.The others were experiencing the same as well. They all felt painful. However, the pain was still bearable for them.To acquire the Elemental Inversion, the unprecedented
This was the simplified Elysian Inscription. His rank was still far too low for him to comprehend it.In the Five-Elements Painting, following the brilliant light that appeared on the top of James’ head, blocking the sharp blade, the other three felt a very powerful force coming toward them. This force forcefully sent them out of the Five-Elements Painting.Right now, only one person remained in the Five-Elements Painting. It was James.Outside the painting, Nyasia said as she held out her hands, “I came here for nothing. This brat is truly powerful. He can actually withstand the trials of the Heavenly Path. He even blocked the Heavenly Path’s attack in the end. It appears that, after eons of time, his accomplishment will soar to a level that is beyond our comprehension.”Willibald’s expression was grave. He came here for the Elemental Inversion, but he did not get anything.Marcello was beaming. She said, “Alright, let’s go. The Elemental Inversion will now belong to James, and i
James gained some information when he was inside the Five-Elements Painting.He learned that in the Primeval Age, the Five Ancestral Gods had already known that he would get the Elemental Inversion. Furthermore, he heard the Five Ancestral Gods say that the future him broke through the River of Time and went to the Primeval Age.‘Why would I go to the Primeval Age?‘Why did I ask about Thea as soon as I appeared?’‘What happened to her?’Despite much deliberation, James remained perplexed.However, these matters were still too far away for him, so he set them aside for the time being. The only thing he knew for sure was that the future him would be extremely powerful.Just how powerful would he be? He would be so powerful that he could travel through time and traverse the course of history.“I never expected the future me to be so powerful.”James touched his nose.After that, he looked at his surroundings and muttered with confusion, “I’m the only one left now. That means I’
After saying that, Sophie returned to the Celestial Abode.James, on the other hand, looked puzzled.From the Celestial Abode came Sophie’s voice. “James, cultivate well. I believe that even in such a harsh environment, you will be able to continue breaking the Elysian Seal, rise to become the most powerful person in this age, and protect the human race throughout the ages.” “I will.” James wore a determined look on his face. He said, “I’ve already died once. I promised the custodian that as long as I am alive, I will keep humanity safe. Even if it means giving up my life, I will do so without hesitation.”“Alright. You should first go outside.”“Okay.” James nodded. “How do I go outside, though?” he muttered, confused.While he was confused, a very powerful force came from within the Five-Elements Painting and violently expelled him. When he reappeared, he was already outside.Just as he was about to leave, the Five-Elements Painting, which was hanging across the sky, suddenly
