“It’s him!” Bertholas exclaimed the moment he saw the man.“Do you know him?” Waldo furrowed his brow.“I remember him,” said Bertholas with shock. “Back in the Zephyria World, he was the lucky one chosen when Franciscus was selecting his successor. What was his name again? It suddenly slipped my mind.”“It’s been a while, Bertholas,” suddenly shouted the young living being across from them.Bertholas was taken aback and quickly looked up.“He’s calling you,” said Waldo softly. “Go out and respond.”“Should I go alone?” asked Bertholas apprehensively.“Bertholas Jhork.” Waldo’s expression darkened. “Your cultivation base is at the peak of the Ninth Tribulation. You’re the future hope of the Javerigh Sect. How will you inherit the sect if you don’t even have this much courage?”Bertholas felt ashamed at being reprimanded. He gritted his teeth and immediately stepped into the void, stopping at a distance far from the living beings.“I never thought that we would meet again under
Bertholas was shocked and angry when looking at James. He waved his hand and shouted, “Wait, let’s clarify things before resorting to violence.”“What are we waiting for?” asked James impatiently. “Do you have any last words?”“James Caden...” Bertholas roared, “Are you sure you’re doing this under the orders of Gladwin?”“Of course,” James sighed softly. “This is the command we’ve received. Given our relationship, I’ll grant you the time to make your final arrangements and organize your army. Then, we’ll initiate our attack to usher you into reincarnation.”“You... you’re simply...” Bertholas’ words were cut off as he saw a Truett rising behind James. A Sword Energy descended from the sky towards him.Bertholas immediately recoiled in fear.Seeing this, Truett burst into laughter. “So, this is the successor of the Javerigh Sect, known as the top talent. Seems quite underwhelming, doesn’t he?”“He’s not scared by your Sword Energy, but rather by the terrifying power of the three
James could not help but laugh upon hearing the transmission.“They’ve retreated.” Truett laughed heartily. “It seems like Gladwin is stuck holding the bag.”The other female living beings excitedly chuckled among themselves as well, except for Lyla. She approached James and said, “Gladwin won’t just let it go as we frame him.”“I’ll wait for him right here.” James grinned. “He’ll come soon.”At his words, Lyla furrowed her brows. “You’ve already anticipated this?”James turned to her with a mischievous smile. “Those who don’t consider the overall situation aren’t fit to plan a region. Those who don’t consider everything aren’t fit to plan a moment.”Lyla sighed lightly in resignation. “Is scheming really that effective? It seems like eventually, it’ll backfire on oneself. Can’t we keep it simple?”“I don’t want to scheme either.” James shrugged. “If our opponent wants to play games, I can only fight fire with fire.“Moreover, our Jademora Empire is too weak right now. It’s har
On the border of the Xyndaros Genesis World, James and the others gathered around a bonfire, enjoying themselves with drinks and lively conversation. A few female living beings danced around the fire, swayed by the cajoling of Adair and Wylie.After clinking glasses with James, Truett gulped down his drink and glanced at the absent-minded Yancy. “Are you still with us, Sir Yancy?” Truett chuckled. Yancy’s face twitched as he looked at James. “Master, is... is Gladwin really coming?”“He probably will,” James laughed. “Of course, if he has a chance to explain things to the Javerigh Sect, he might bring his army. Then, it’ll inevitably be another bloody battle.”At this, Yancy’s hand trembled, and his wine glass slipped into the fire.James sneered upon seeing him lose his composure. “What’s the matter, are you scared?”“He is a Quasi Daelcon Rank powerhouse,” Yancy said with a bitter face. “Master, why do we have to provoke such a transcendent powerhouse?”“We’re not the ones
Rebella, Xitlaly, Yancy, and Wylie, all reaching the peak of Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation, mobilized their full strength to resist this unprecedented pressure. Only Lyla, who had the highest cultivation base, could still move freely under the golden light, albeit at a greatly reduced speed.Seeing that everyone was struggling to hold on, James raised his hand, and the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell swiftly flew towards the sky. It enlarged infinitely while spinning until it enveloped the entire Xyndaros Genesis World. Finally, it resisted the pervasive golden light and terrifying pressure.A surprised sound came from the void, followed by a majestic yet ethereal voice booming. “James, you’ve indeed used the guardian treasure of my Timaeus Sect to its limits. This is quite unexpected.”“It’s Gladwin,” Lyla reminded softly.James smiled. “What’s this Supernatural Power called? It’s quite formidable.”“This is called the Historial Dragon’s Breath,” Lyla whispered. “A technique cr
James poured himself another drink nonchalantly and said, “Are you really making such a fuss and planning to kill me just because of the Javerigh Sect matter?”“Do you have any other accusations to throw at me?” Gladwin was angry.James toyed with the wineglass in his hand and chuckled. “Great Protector, it’s one thing if you don’t protect your own, but it’s quite disappointing to see you turning against us.”Upon hearing this, Gladwin looked bewildered. “What do you mean, brat?”“We did indeed attack the Javerigh Sect army,” said James calmly. “However, none of this would have happened if they hadn’t encroached upon our Xyndaros Genesis World.”“You’re shameless, brat!” Gladwin exclaimed angrily. “The Xyndaros Genesis World is part of my Righteous Alliance. You’ve occupied it. Is it wrong for me to order the Javerigh Sect to reinforce it?”“Of course it’s wrong,” James said to Gladwin, spreading his hands. “Have you forgotten who we are and what our identities are?”Gladwin wid
“See! You’ve misunderstood my intentions again!” yelled Gladwin.James clicked his tongue. “Why should I help you become the Timaeus Sect’s leader when you keep treating me this way? Punish me or kill me if you want. I won’t utter a word of complaint about it.” Upon hearing those words, Gladwin could not help but wonder if James had come up with another plan. Also, what would the Javerigh Sect have to do with their plans of making Gladwin the next Timaeus Sect’s leader? Gladwin cleared his throat and said softly, “Young man, let’s stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point.” “You must apologize first.” James snorted. “I won’t put up with unfair treatment when I am already doing so much to help you! If you think about it, what benefit can I get once you get appointed to be the Timaeus Sectʼs new leader?” Gladwin paused briefly. Then, he suppressed his displeasure and beamed a smile at James. “I apologize. I was a little harsh earlier…” James turned his face
Gladwin threw back his head and laughed. “You came up with this meticulous plan early on, huh?” “You’re right. We bear no grudge against each other.” James replied, “However, Xachary tried to kill me before. Even if you didnʼt make those offers, I would still try to make him lose the position of the Timaeus Sectʼs leader.” Gladwin nodded slowly. “With that said, does this mean that we are allies now?” “No.” James shook his head. “We are simply partners in crime. “I probably wouldnʼt be able to achieve the things that you could do. The same goes for the opposite. Therefore, we need to help each other out and work toward achieving our mutual goal.” “Alright!” Gladwin let out a hearty laugh. “I feel very reassured after hearing that from you. By the way, what happened with the Behaterm Sect and the Sanctum Sect?” James smiled slightly. He shared about the incidents relating to the Behaterm Sect elaborately. Gladwin chuckled and nodded. “So, that makes you the owner of two Ge
