Although there were many people inside the city, no one spoke a word. A deathly silence filled the air. Soon, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.In the foyer, a dozen generals were kneeling. All of them possessed immense strength, having already reached the Tribulation Rank. However, they had yet to become Sages.James sat in the main seat and waved his hand slightly, saying, "At ease.""Thank you, Your Majesty."Everyone stood.James asked again, "What's the situation now?*The female general stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Korinthian forces have retreated from Sangria's borders. Based on our scouts' intelligence, they have retreated to Yoruba Valley and are now garrisoned in a forest there."James asked, "How's the battle situation?""Your Majesty, the Korinthian forces have been assembling and attacking Macchia City not too long ago. Our forces that are entrenched inside the city defended every inch of our territory valiantly and engaged in several round
James could not see through Walganus' strength. This could only mean two things. One, Walganus' cultivation base had reached such heights that even he could not see through. Two, Walagnus had cultivated some sort of cultivation method to conceal his cultivation base.Walganus smiled and said, “I'm just average, I guess. I'm barely at the Sage Rank's Fourth Stage."“Not bad. That's good enough.” James nodded slightly.Such strength was already considered terrifying on Earth. Even on Plant Galileo, he was considered one of the top-notch fighters.Walganus asked, “What do you plan to do, James? Do you intend to fight against Korinth to the bitter end? I don't think it'll work. More people would simply die in vain.”James was in a bind. What other option did he have?After some contemplation, an idea flashed through his mind.“I know a certain Formation that allows the Sangrian army to summon immense power. However, learning this Formation takes time. For the time being, the Sangria
Hearing James' explanation, Henry said in anticipation, "I love fighting wars! Why don't you let me out, James?"James waved slightly and said, "No, Sangria is a unique place. Men cannot remain inside Sangria for more than a month. Otherwise, they'll be cursed.""Huh?" Stunned, Henry asked, "This is unbelievable. Is there really such an odd place in this world?""Mhm." James nodded and narrated the history of Planet Galileo."What a shame…" Henry sighed. Then, he said smilingly, "But this is an opportunity, James. Once you resolve the matter and obtain peerless swordsmanship and the Curse Magic, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds.""Sigh… I'll have to discuss this with Sophie."James was out of his wits. His only option was to use the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation.However, the Sangrian army could not Master the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation in a short period of time. He wanted to look for Sophie and ask her if she could simply the Formation so t
The bodhi fruit was a mysterious berry that was considered rare even in the Demon Realm. A single one of these berries would allow a mortal to become a Sage straight away.After consuming the bodhi fruit, Winnie's strength increased by leaps and bounds, and she immediately reached the Sage Rank's Fifth Stage."Dad, you have encountered difficulties on Planet Galileo, and there's no one to help you out, except for me. So let me out." Winnie pleaded.She really wanted to help James out. Besides that, she no longer wished to remain inside the Celestial Abode and simply sit by the sidelines anymore. James was lost in contemplation.Beside him, Delainey said, "James, I can leave this place and help you out too. I'm also at the Sage Rank's Fifth Stage."James sighed deeply and looked at Winnie, saying, "You may leave. However, you have to obey me at all times. Is that understood?"Hearing this, Winnie cheered and leaped into James' embrace. "Yes, Dad! Thank you!"James sighed.He r
The combined forces of the 100 million men and the army garrisoned at Yoruba Valley made a grand total of 150 million men. They were determined to take Sangria.At the same time, Xandalous Korinth, a.k.a. Korinth the Second, arrived at the depths of the palace's courtyard. Since this place was restricted, no one except for Xandalous could enter.There was a simple building in the depths of the courtyard made of bamboo. As Xandalous approached the bamboo house, he could sense immense power.‘The Grand Patriarch's power is growing stronger.’ He was stunned.Then, he walked into the bamboo house and greeted respectfully, "Grand Patriarch, I, Xandalous Korinth, would like to request your audience."Creak…The door opened, and a shriveled elderly man walked out. Wearing a grey robe, his face was gaunt, and even his bones were visible."Grand Patriarch," Xandalous greeted him respectfully."Mhm." The elderly man nodded slightly and sat on a chair just outside the bamboo house.Xanda
Everyone turned to leave, except for James and Walganus.Wearing a solemn expression, James looked at Walganus and asked, "What should we do now?"Walganus' expression was grim. Korinth was determined to take Sangria no matter the cost, and they had mobilized 150 million men for this occasion. Not only that, but the overall strength of the cultivators of Korinth was many times greater than Sangria. Korinth completely overwhelmed Sangria both in terms of number and strength.After some thought, he said, "Now, we can only depend on Sangria's Curse. In my opinion, we should retreat from Macchia City and defend the Imperial Capital.""The Korinthian forces will need ten days to reach the Imperial Capital even at full speed. As long as they fail to take the Capital, they will panic and try to leave before a month passes to avoid suffering innumerable losses."James listened intently.Walganus' plan was one option among many. However, it should be the final resort because he now unders
Walganus stood up and turned to leave. After he left, James also left the discussion room and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion's courtyard.Upon his arrival, Winnie walked toward him. Seeing James' worried expression, she said smilingly, "There's nothing to worry about, Dad. No one stands a chance against me on Planet Galileo."Winnie was confident in her own strength.James looked her in the eye and asked, "Is the power of the scythe that terrifying?""Mhm." Winnie nodded and said, "As my power grows, so too does the scythe inside my body. If I summon my full strength, the scythe's power will go out of control."Then, she looked at James and asked, "What exactly is the scythe inside my body, Dad? You and mom are only ordinary human beings on Earth, so why do I have a scythe like this?"Winnie was a cultivator at the Sage Rank, so she knew a thing or two about cultivation. Under normal circumstances, only the descendants of some ancient families or families with powerful bloodl
Back then, James could have made a breakthrough into the Tribulation Rank after absorbing the Sword Energies of the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion and reaching the peak of the Yogacara's Third Stage.However, he was not in a hurry to do so. He needed greater power so that his strength would soar after breaking through the Tribulation Rank.After arriving at this desolate mountain, James relaxed and completely released all the energy inside his body.The True Essence in his body churned, and the Sword Energy concealed inside his body that was released rushed out of his body and enveloped him. At that moment, he seemed to be an indestructible weapon.The moment he released his energy, a Heavenly Tribulation approached. Dark clouds appeared out of nowhere in the sky, and lightning bolts were flashing through the clouds. Like dragons traversing through the clouds, they exuded terrifying power.Rumble!As the lightning tribulation was too powerful, it affected the entire region. Unable t
