Lucifer would not stand a chance.In his current state, James was not afraid to face off against a powerhouse at the Divine Rank.He had 400,000 Sages at his beck and call, some of which had even reached the Sage Rank’s Tenth Stage.With the energies of so many powerhouses augmenting his own, even a Divine Rank powerhouse would find it hard to fight back.Lucifer stood in the arena, and he looked into the distance.400,000 soldiers were gathered in the sky. These 400,000 people formed a powerful formation, and their energy fused to form a mighty force.Lucifer’s heart wavered upon sensing the force. He realized he had miscalculated.He knew James’ goal from the beginning was to obtain the providence. That man had 400,000 soldiers at the ready in the Celestial Abode. Who could possibly oppose him?“Wow, James. You’ve hidden this fact very well. I should’ve expected this.”Lucifer’s face twisted into a regretful expression.He had fought James and was suppressed by the force of
Immediately after they entered the new arena, the Guardian appeared before them.The Guardian stood inside the arena and walked over to James.Prior to this, James had always stood at a distance from the Guardian, so it was hard to see the man’s appearance.Now that the Guardian had come closer, James was finally able to see him clearly. He was an old man with a white beard. However, it was hard to discern his features properly as he had a hood covering most of his face.Brielle, the only other person in the arena, followed after James and called out to him. “James.”James nodded. “Yes.”The Guardian’s eyes were fixed on James. He observed James for a while and asked, “That was the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation. I wasn’t expecting to see it again in the Apocalypse Age.“Young Man, how do you know about the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation?”The Guardian protected the Thirty-Three Arenas and what remained of the Ancient Heavenly Court.He knew every detail abou
James was startled by the Guardian’s words and could not help asking, “Are you saying the Heavenly Path is controlled by someone?”The Guardian replied solemnly, “Of course. The Heavenly Path was created by that person after all. However, the force behind the Heavenly Path is mysterious and unpredictable. Apart from a few powerhouses from the Primeval Age who were aware of this powerhouse’s identity, no one else knows the truth.”“Ages ago, the powerhouse behind the Heavenly Path used to be called Heaven. Therefore, the battle in ancient times was dubbed the Rebellion against Heaven, or the Annihilation of Heaven.”Hearing this, James was dumbfounded.The Heavenly Path was already a mind-boggling existence. It controlled the universe and every living being. James never suspected that there was someone controlling the Heavenly Path.The Guardian fell silent.After a while, he sighed and said, “Perhaps it isn’t just a single person behind the Heavenly Path, but a bigger force. Mayb
The Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts was incredibly complex. At James’ current cultivation rank, it was impossible for him to comprehend.He still had no idea what cultivation was all about yet.Moreover, he could not even recognize the words within the Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts. He only knew they were mysterious and profound.James stopped examining it and put the jade away.Afterward, he looked at Brielle.“I promised you I’d give you the providence if I made it to the end. Now that only two of us are left, you can eliminate me and obtain the providence.”Brielle shook her head.“How can I do that, James? You strived so hard to make it to this point. The providence is rightfully yours. If you seize the providence, you’ll be able to quickly become a Grand Emperor.”“Grand Emperor?”James fell into thought.The Guardian had told him a lot, and he learned many secrets that others did not know about.Grand Emperors were considered exceptionally strong people, but they w
“At the very least, James will be a Grand Emperor in the future.”The air was abyss with various topics surrounding James.Just when everyone thought James would have claimed the providence, a crack formed in the sky, and a figure slowly emerged.Everyone was shocked when they recognized who the person was.“What? How is this possible?”“Why has James been eliminated?”“Shouldn’t Brielle be the one eliminated on the thirty-second floor?”“Did Brielle hide her strength and then use it to defeat James?”“How is that possible? Brielle was the weakest among all thirty-three participants. She only lasted so long because James was protecting her. If I’m not mistaken, James must’ve let her have the providence.”After James was eliminated, he was teleported out of the arena, and his body slowly descended into an open space.Many powerhouses were gathered in the city.Almost all the contenders that were eliminated from the arena remained in the city.As soon as James appeared, Feb a
The battle in the Thirty-Three Arenas was finally over.Some people were satisfied, while others were disappointed.Those that obtained treasures were ecstatic, while those who went empty-handed were disgruntled.All eyes were on the Guardian.The Guardian floated in the sky and looked at the prodigies in the city. He knew those gathered in the city were the strongest prodigies among the universe’s younger generation.He was rather satisfied with their strength. They were the pillars of the Apocalypse Age.“May I have your attention?” The Guardian’s voice boomed in the sky.His voice sounded gravelly and weary with age.“The South Heaven Gate appeared on Earth, and the providence from the Ancient Heavenly Court has found its new owner. Now, it’s time for the South Heaven Gate to return to obscurity.“However, the South Heaven Gate will not vanish completely and will reappear someday in the future.“Many great boons are still hidden within the Ancient Heavenly Court’s ruins
Their disciples were equally talented but were not fortunate enough to obtain the providence.“James is really lucky.”“It’s a doomsday era for humanity, yet he still goes against all odds. He’ll definitely achieve great things in the future.”After learning that James helped Brielle obtain the providence, they expressed their thoughts.However, James was still nothing to them despite having obtained countless fortunes.In fact, these powerhouses were plotting to kill James and snatch his treasures.However, these powerhouses from the universe knew there were strong humans hidden on Earth. Since James was the hope of the human race, they would arouse the anger of these hidden powerhouses if they were to take action against James rashly.No one was capable of bearing the wrath of these powerful humans.“Let’s go back to the clan.”“After we return, you’ll have to go into seclusion. Then, you can come back for the fourth providence.”“It’s okay that you didn’t seize the provide
James was fine with lending it to Walganus.“Alright, then, it’s a promise!”After James agreed, Walganus’ furrowed brows finally relaxed.His father created the Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts, so how could he not learn it?After reaching an agreement, James walked over to Thea and asked, “What’s the situation on Earth now, Thea? Did anything major happen?”Frowning, Thea replied, “There haven’t been any major events. However, there are casualties every day due to the curse. Many of which include humans from the Three Thousand Worlds.”James was unable to solve the curse for now.His strength was limited, and he could not resolve everyone’s curse.He could only count on the group of hidden powerhouses on Earth to develop an elixir to suppress the curse as soon as possible. After the elixir was successfully developed, it would temporarily resolve the problem.“Alright. You should head back to Wyrmstead first. I’ll go and meet the custodian at the Chamber of Scriptures on Mount
