At that moment, the musical sound of an instrument resounded, gradually closing in toward Sherman and Manny.The barrage of musical notes swept through the void, knocking Sherman and Manny away, coughing up blood simultaneously.Sherman exclaimed, “It’s Lord Zenda.”Down below, James and his companions tried searching for the origin of the musical assault. Soon, a graceful woman clad in flowing white garments, with her face obscured by a white veil, appeared in sight. She slowly floated over on Quasar Cloud, cradling a Guqin.Her appearance was valiant and majestic, calm yet imposing. The fiery red notes from her instrument transformed into a barrage of fiery red Sword LIghts, relentlessly showering down on Sherman and Manny.Faced with such an intense onslaught, Sherman and Manny were forced to use all their Supernatural Powers to defend and retreat.The atmosphere shifted when the mysterious woman hovered over James and his group, at which point the music from the Guqin abrup
The woman’s voice sounded contemptuous. James ignored her and shouted to his children, “Stop playing around. It’s time to go.”After being stunned, the children transformed into purple light beams and returned to James’ side.James nodded meaningfully at Yegor and Herodias, then supported Thea. As a precaution, the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell hovered above them as they rushed into the distance.The mysterious woman was taken aback by their actions. After making out the situation, her brows furrowed. She had not expected the Chosen One to refuse her courtesy. “How dare he ignore Lord Zenda.”The Four Essence Masters suddenly transformed into four fiery red shadows, quickly blocking James and his companions’ path.James’ group immediately went on guard but showed no fear.The True Essence Masters shouted, “Although you’re the Chosen One, you’re still a mortal. How dare you put on airs in front of our Lord Zenda. You must have a death wish…”Just as they were about to take action, the
With a thunderous crash echoing through the sky, the two forces met with a fierce explosion, resulting in powerful shock waves permeating the surroundings. At that instant, Herodias and Yegor simultaneously tapped into their Tirta Power and righteous aura, creating a massive purple-gold energy barrier to shield James and Thea.Boom! Boom! Boom!A succession of intense explosions followed, and the purple-gold barrier was shattered.Lord Zenda was in no better situation. Caught up in the shock waves, she was forced to retreat into the distance. Her white robe fluttered, and she clutched her Guqin in shock.“What kind of power is this?”James straightened up and said calmly, “We walk different paths and aren’t like-minded people. I’m not the Chosen One, nor do I wish for my kids to be Hongrome Children. Although I wish to avoid conflict, I’m not scared of it.”“Even though you’re at the Yitro Daeclon Rank and we’re only at the Ninth Xaeclon Rank, we might not necessarily lose to y
Meanwhile, James’ group inside the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell was incredibly shaken. While traveling, they swayed side to side. Due to the bell’s evolution, its travel speed had already surpassed the limits of the Ninth Xaeclon Rank. Moreover, they had no idea where they were headed.“Master, a large group of powerhouses are chasing after us. Utilize your powers to stabilize yourself. I need to speed up.”James immediately sat in a lotus position and instructed, “Sit down and urge your powers.”Yegor, Herodias, and Thea, swaying within the bell, hurriedly did as they were told.Shortly after, the Yuraceon Genesis Bell accelerated and was like a spaceship exceeding the speed of light as it darted through the void.The group of powerhouses following the bell sped up, but the distance between them grew.Feeling the urgency of the situation, they quickly unleashed their Supernatural Powers. A terrifying purple forge surged toward the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell.However, Zenda immediately sh
They had considered many things but never expected the Chosen One to have a personality and temper utterly different from usual mortal beings.The white-haired old man looked at Zenda and asked, “What should we do now? Do you want to go into the Forbidden Bloodshade, or should we go instead?”Zenda said calmly, “If we’re both afraid to enter, we can just stay here and wait. They’ll come out eventually.”The white-haired old man scoffed, "That's simple for you to say. Who can predict what dangers lurk within this Forbidden Bloodshade? What if it turns him into a demon? Remember, he still harbors the remnant soul of a demonic spirit in his body, not to mention his Hongrome Children.”“Aren’t you supposed to be omniscient, Lord Toviyyah? Yet, this is the extent of your knowledge?” Zenda’s tone was full of irritation.The white-haired old man, known as Lord Toviyyah, was stunned by her words.Suddenly, the old woman with sideburns stepped forward and remarked, “The Chosen One is mer
Boom!A thunderous crash echoed as the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell plummeted into a mysterious zone shrouded in bloody red mist.Inside, James and the others were jolted violently by the fierce quake, leaving them disoriented.The first to regain composure was Thea. She scanned their surroundings and gasped, “This seems to be the Forbidden Bloodshade.”James, Yegor, and Herodias exchanged shocked glances, clueless about the Forbidden Bloodshade. Nonetheless, when they peered out through the walls of the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell, and were utterly shocked by the sight.The outside surroundings were shrouded in dense crimson mists, and the sky was streaked by blood-colored clouds. In the distance, the mountains, rivers, and even the flora had fiery red hues, resembling the Forladtt Land’s first level.What set this place apart was the presence of more than a dozen minor red planets that hovered nearby. The planets orbited their current world in a slow, deliberate, clockwise rotation, creat
Yegor, Herodias, and Thea turned to him with puzzled expressions. “Uh…” James felt a tad bit emabrrassed, surprised he had accidentally blurted out his question instead of communicating telepathically with Lesia.He chuckled awkwardly and waved dismissively at them. Suddenly, the bell’s chimes echoed once again.Lesia explained patiently, “The Courageous Tower was one of Emperor Yarden’s greatest treasures. He believed that the wise are not perplexed, the benevolent are not anxious, and the brave are not afraid. Since you gained the tower’s acknowledgment, it signifies that Emperor Yarden approves you. Hence, you’re capable of tapping into some of his powers.”James had an expression of disbelief. ‘No wonder Lesia mentioned the Aquasoul on the Forladtt Land’s third level was the eyes of a powerhouse. So this is the full story.’After the realization, James asked, “What about the Ten Holy Temples?”Lesia explained, “The founders of the Ten Holy Temples were Emperor Yarden’s ten
As Yegor was struck by the question, he turned to look at Herodias and Thea. “What about them?”James shrugged and replied, “It’s too risky for them to go out. Let’s check it out first. After all, we’re men and…”Yegor pouted and said, “And we’re husbands to exceptional women. We’re inferior existences, and it’s our duty to protect them.”After the brief conversation, James and Yegor left the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell. Herodias and Thea, who were left behind, looked at each other dumbfoundedly. “What’s with them? Have we wronged them?”Thea grumbled, “What nonsense. Nobody ever said they were inferior existences to us.”Herodias chuckled and said, “Well, I sure did. Yegor doesn’t dare to raise his voice before me.”After a monetary reflection, Thea laughed and said, “Actually, same!”Upon leaving the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell, James, and Yegor were immediately greeted by a violent wind. Even though they were at the Ninth Xaeclon Rank, the gale almost swept them away.Yegor steadi
