James stepped forward to help but was interrupted by Yianni, who struggled onto one knee and raised his head with a frustrated smile. Then, he roared, “Amazing! How unexpected! You’re truly remarkable, Frona. I thought I had outsmarted you, but I was the fool.”“So that’s why you repeatedly coaxed me into leaving my soul spirit in the Marciais Combat Form’s Origin. You’ve had this planned from the start. The Caeloros Supreme is truly terrifying, cunning, and cruel!”After venting his anger, Yianni looked at James helplessly. “You’re smart, and I admire your tenacity. Your commitment to friendship, principles, and vision is incredible. Though you’re a Historial being created by the Waitara path, you despise rules and authority. You’re unrestrained and unconventional. You are incompatible with the strict hierarchy of the Destiny Sect.“With a personality like yours, you’re an anomaly in the Destiny Sect, which worships authority and plays insidious tricks. You will also be regarded as
James suddenly interrupted Yianni. "What do you gain by helping me like this, Master? What do you get from the Five Shadowborns? Is it just because you appreciate me?"Yianni was stunned by the question.James smiled, "You don’t have to answer me if you can't. You’re my master, and I won’t force you. However, you shouldn’t pressure me either. We both have our convictions.""I don’t want us to part on bad terms with an unpleasant final memory."Yianni's brows knitted as he looked at James, his expression hard to read. However, James saw the complexity flashing in his eyes.They looked at each other for a long time before bursting into laughter for no apparent reason. Sitting down again, Yianni opened another jar of wine and pushed it toward James. Then, he opened one for himself, lifting it high."Since we want a perfect farewell, let’s use this wine to honor our friendship."James nodded, raising his jar high."After this farewell, it’s hard to predict whether we’ll meet again
Frona looked at James and said, “Even after learning everything, he believed in you but not me. Did you hide it too well, or did I leave a terrible impression?”James did not turn to her but continued to stare at the scroll. Frona took a deep breath and followed his gaze. After a while, she said emotionally, “My Soremsia had known him for countless years, but he refused to say anything about the Waitara Path’s Reincarnation Soremsia. I never expected him to share such information with you before his departure.”“That’s not all. He promised that until I resolve the Leere Tribulation, the Five Shadowborns will not launch large-scale attacks on the Destiny Sect,” James said, then turned to Frona. “You must be so envious of me.”Frona burst into laughter, then lowered her head. “Yes, yes. You two share a great bond, and I’m just an outsider. But his promise is somewhat insincere. He is just playing the emotional card and manipulating his naive disciple again.”James was stunned, then f
After hearing the information, James couldn't help but gasp. Yianni had left these things behind because he still hadn't given up on recruiting him. Yianni was just like him—stubborn and relentless in achieving his goals.James pondered, ‘The swastika token can sense a lost treasure. What could this treasure be? Could it be the Path Mirror my wife once lost, which can reflect the Waitara Path’s Soremsia? If this is true, then everything has newfound hope.’Frona's voice sounded again. "James, you—"James interrupted Frona, speaking solemnly, "You're so noisy! Stop being annoying! I'll give you an answer now!"He glared at her and said, "You're right! Not only will my friends and comrades have to die, but everyone in the Greater Realm must perish! Are you satisfied now?""You..." Frona looked at James in disbelief, as if he were a devil.James angrily retorted, "What's wrong with me? If I only cared about myself, I'd just sit back and accumulate strength, waiting for death!""How
In the third layer of Forladtt, within a room in the golden palace, a beautiful woman in a blue robe stood nervously, her long hair flowing and her demeanor like that of a frightened little rabbit. Behind her, a handsome man in a purple-gold robe paced slowly, his hands behind his back, a particularly gloomy expression on his face.After a prolonged silence, the woman, unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer, finally spoke. “No matter what, the destruction of Skynet and the fall of the Celestial Sages have greatly shocked the Greater Realms.”“All the Greater Realms have directed their ire towards the Waitara Path’s Reincarnation Soremsia, labeling him an evil spirit causing turmoil. Suppressing them all would be counterproductive if you ask us to do so.”“What’s worse is that the destruction of Skynet and the death of the Celestial Sages have greatly shocked our empire as well. Whether it’s the war kings, marshals, or the soldiers of the Mahayana Army under their comman
However, in the next second, she was stunned to feel his arm wrap around her waist, pulling her forward. When she came to her senses, Maxine found herself pressed against the impostor. She couldn't help but tense up and panic.As she attempted to break free from the impostor's grip, he said, "Thea is gone now, Maxine. You're the one I trust the most. We must work together, turn the tide, expose the conspiracy, and save the Greater Realms."Hearing James' words, Maxine felt weak all over, her pretty face flushing. She had been suppressing her feelings for James because of Thea. Now that Thea was gone, her feelings for him could finally be reciprocated.Maxine's heart raced as she felt his breath caress her face. She summoned the courage to look into his eyes.In that moment, everything seemed frozen, and they were the only two people in the world. Their mutual feelings surged like an uncontrollable torrent.Gazing at him affectionately, Maxine pursed her lips. Suddenly, the imposto
“Emperor Caden, something terrible has happened! Open the door immediately!” Rebella's urgent voice pierced through the thick door.The impostor, who had yet to fulfill his lustful desires, clenched his teeth in frustration. He seethed, “What perfect timing!”“It must be important.” Maxine seized the opportunity to push him aside and scrambled to put on her clothes.Before she could fully dress, the impostor forced himself onto her again and said, “Forget about her. She won't be able to break through the door.”Maxine shook her head and said anxiously, “No, James! We must focus on important matters! Rebella is the Jademora Empire's Vice Grand Steward. If she's coming to demand an audience, something significant must be at stake. You can't afford to ignore her—this could cost us valuable support…”The impostor, lost in his debauched intentions, was too preoccupied to heed the warning.Suddenly, a loud crash echoed through the palace. The supposedly impenetrable door, reinforced by
“I told you this impostor didn’t resemble Emperor Caden. Why didn’t you believe me?”“Indeed. We’ve fought alongside Emperor Caden through thick and thin. We know his true nature.”“This impostor is outrageous! He’s blatantly impersonating our Emperor.”“I had suspicions from when he returned, but there was no solid proof until now.”“Execute him. We must uncover his true identity and see how audacious he is to impersonate our Emperor in the Jademora Empire.”The fake James erupted in fury at the sound of their accusations. He unleashed a dazzling explosion of million-colored light toward them—a show of power intended to intimidate.However, the beautiful woman in the white veil calmly raised a hand. A shimmering purple-gold shield enveloped the officials, reflecting the burst of light back at the impostor.Seizing the moment, the fake James hastily put on his clothes and angrily pointed at the intruders. “How dare you invade my chamber without permission? Do you have no respect
