James and the three Lehman siblings were still together. Seeing Xainte depart, James immediately stood up and followed the crowd of people further into the depths of the Great Wilderness.Although the depths of the Great Wilderness were supposedly full of dangers, James did not encounter any monsters along the way.After traveling for a few days, he appeared in front of a massive mountain.The mountain was hundreds of thousands of meters tall, and its peak was nowhere within sight.On the mountaintop was a massive boulder with several vivid and ancient words engraved on it reading— Malevolent Demon Residence.After seeing the words on the boulder, everyone clamored with excitement.The Malevolent Demon Residence was where the Malevolent Demon cultivated. So, They hoped to obtain the Malevolent Demon’s inheritance if they found her.Xainte was the first to arrive.She hovered in the sky and pondered deeply after seeing the words engraved on the boulder.Yikron whispered a rem
The Malevolent Demon Residence was a cave where Thea cultivated. The paths inside the cave extended in various directions.James randomly chose a path and quickly moved through it. After traveling for a while, he encountered some other people. These people were gathered together in a group and began talking in low voices.“This must be a formation set up by the Malevolent Demon. She’s probably testing us. We’ll have to break the formation before we can obtain her inheritance.”“You may be onto something. That must be it. The Malevolent Demon is one of the Eidolon Realm’s greatest powerhouses. She hasn’t become a Grand Emperor, yet she was able to seriously injure one. It makes sense that she wants her successor to be excellent in every aspect.”“This formation is pretty strong. How can we break through it?”Many powerhouses huddled together. As James approached, he overheard their chatter. Only then did he realize that a formation was blocking the path ahead. He had to first bre
The man’s body was sent through the air. He crashed into the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was severely injured despite being at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage. Seeing the formation hurt a powerhouse like him, the others did not dare to break through the formation carelessly.Yikron stood before the formation and observed it pensively.He also knew a little about formations but was not very well versed in it. With his current knowledge, it was impossible to break the formation.James frowned upon seeing Xainte enter the formation. He forcibly squeezed his way through the crowd and arrived in front of the formation.“Can you break the formation, Nova?”James asked Nova in the Celestial Abode for help.Soon, a voice replied telepathically to James.“Although the formation is complicated, it’s not very advanced. Breaking it should be a simple task.”“Could you help me pass through the formation? I want to follow after Xainte to find Thea.”Right after James finishe
Xainte looked at James in surprise.She knew the formation outside was powerful. It would be impossible to pass through the formation unless one had reached the Emperor rank.Yet, James was only at the Sage Rank’s Tenth Stage.He was supposed to be too weak to force his way through the formation.Was he actually proficient in formation techniques and knew of a way to break it?Xainte glared at James.James walked closer to Xainte. This was the first time he had come face to face with Xainte and seen her from up close.The more James looked at Xainte, the more he saw her resemblance to Thea and Winnie.“Haah!”James took a deep breath to calm himself.He did not dare act recklessly, knowing he might get beaten up if he were to tell her that he was her father.James asked tentatively, “Have you come to see Thea?”Stunned, Xainte took a few steps backward and stared at James warily.Did this man know her identity? Why does he know the Malevolent Demon’s real name?No one kne
“We used the Time Capsule and forcibly opened a passage into the Boundless Realm.“There isn’t much time left for the humans. To find the Ancestral God Rank Elixir, the Human Realm’s Lord sent us back into the past with the Time Capsule. However, an unexpected issue cropped up while we were traveling through time.“I appeared one hundred thousand years in the past, and Thea was sent to a different period of time.”While speaking, James cast a glance at Xainte.Xainte’s brows furrowed. She was trying to verify whether James’ stories were real.James understood his stories may seem outlandish to Xainte, so he took out Crucifier and said, “This is Crucifier. It was fused with Thea’s Exalter into the Time Capsule.”“You might not believe me, but she’ll surely explain everything after you find her.”Xainte chuckled and said, “Ha. So according to what you’re saying, you’re my father?”James scratched his nose and said, “Theoretically speaking, yes. I’m your father. Could it be your m
James fell into thought. Meanwhile, Xainte was also trying to determine whether James was telling the truth.Judging by the current situation, it did not seem like he was lying.He knew a lot, especially about Thea. Moreover, he knew that the sinister energy exuded by Thea was Curse Magic.This man also had Curse Magic in his body.Considering all the facts, James would be her father should he be telling the truth.Xainte glanced at James.It was a little hard for her to accept a person as her father.The fact that she found her father was wonderful, but he was disappointingly weak. She could not immediately accept the truth before her.“Where’s Thea right now? Is she within the Malevolent Demon Residence?” asked James.Xainte was not ready to trust James completely.At the same time, she could not bring herself to lie when faced with James’ question. She replied honestly, “In my memories, there was never such a thing as the Malevolent Demon Residence. My mother lived in the
James was unsure why Curse Magic was in Thea’s body again, but thankfully he was immune to it. As long as he could find Thea, he could dispel the curse within her body.Xainte paused for a moment, then hastily set off.Meanwhile, James stayed in place.The cave was full of unknown dangers and the entire thing could likely be a trap.He was relieved that Xainte was here.If these things stumped even Xainte, he would not be able to succeed with his strength alone.James chose to turn back and leave.He left the Malevolent Demon Residence and temporarily rested at a mountain range outside to wait for Xainte.Meanwhile, the Southern Academy’s Great Elder and other elders returned to the Southern Plains.A middle-aged man sat on a rock on the cliff at the Southern Acedemy’s back mountain. He wore a beige robe and looked about 40 years old. However, on his face was an unseemly white beard.The Great Elder appeared on the cliff and respectfully greeted the man. “Headmaster.”The mi
The Paragon Sect's Great Elder was also a Quasi-Emperor.However, he was only at the Quasi Emperor Rank's Second Tribulation and his strength was similar to Xainte.Not only could he be considered a powerhouse in the Eidolon Realm, but he was also regarded as a top powerhouse in the Boundless Realm.After he received the order from the Southern Reverend, he informed the other four academies about the Malevolent Demon and invited their headmasters to gather in the Southern Academy to discuss the matter. Then, he quickly rushed to the Paragon Sect.When the Southern Academy’s Great Elder reached the Paragon Sect, the Great Elder of the Paragon Sect, who was also Xainte’s teacher, came to see him.“Sir Haberly.”Paragon Sect’s Great Elder was named Mateo Jackman. He was at the Quasi Emperor Rank's Eighth Tribulation.Meanwhile, the Southern Academy’s Great Elder’s name was Niklaus Haberly.Inside the Paragon Sect’s main hall, an older man of about 60 sat on the highest seat of t
