James nodded and said, “Yeah. I’ve located Sangria’s Imperial Jade Seal.”“Where is it?” asked Walganus.Yanina could not help but cast a suspicious look at James. It had only just been a short while, but Jame had already obtained information about Sangia’s Imperial Jade Seal. Moreover, James had never left the battleship, so where did he get the information from?James said, “Actually, I only have a clue about its whereabouts.”“Alright. Cut to the chase.” Walganus was getting impatient.James said, “Sangria’s Imperial Jade Seal is in the Barren Wasteland.”Yanina exclaimed, “The Barren Wasteland?”James turned to her and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you know about the Barren Wasteland?”“Of course!” Yanina took a deep breath and said, “The Barren Wasteland is a forbidden area of Galileo. It’s an area that has existed since ancient times. It’s rumored that there aren't any plants or living beings in that region. There’s nothing but dead silence as it’s completely desolate. There
“Alright, then.”Yanina reminded, “Be careful, alright?”After a brief discussion, they went their separate ways and returned to their own rooms.The airship remained on its course.In the blink of an eye, six months passed. The airship had left the high seas and was now heading in the direction of Sangria.As Yanina did not wish to risk her life, she decided against continuing on the journey. Hence, she hopped off the airship halfway before they reached their destination.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch who was controlling the steering wheel steered the airship forward in the direction of Korinth as they had to traverse Korinth to reach the Barren Wasteland.Soon, the airship was in the skies of Korinth. After traversing the country, they headed in the direction of the Barren Wasteland.Another six months passed.Six months later, the airship arrived at a desolate area. The airship stopped. On the deck stood three people—an elderly man and two youngsters.The Blademaster o
Walganus only knew that this was the power of the curse. As for whether there was a human or some sort of living being here practicing Curse Magic, he could not be sure.James had encountered Curse Magic before. To his understanding, Curse Magic was merely a bizarre Supernatural Power that possessed immense power. Apart from that, he did not know much about Curse Magic. However, he was well aware that the Curse Magic he encountered was only superficial and elementary. In fact, even the Curse Magic practiced by the most powerful figures of the Demon Race was incomplete. In truth, the real Curse Magic was very terrifying.“Let’s head deeper into the Barren Wasteland,” James said.The three pressed on.After some time, the Blademaster suddenly felt a sense of discomfort coming from within his body. He stopped and gasped for air. “I-I can’t go on…”James looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”The Blademaster said, “I can sense a power suppressing me. I’m feeling a sense of discomfo
“I see.” Realization dawned on James’ face.Shaken, the Blademaster said, “The curse’s power is immensely malicious. Even I stand no chance against it. I’m afraid I cannot continue any further. I’ll leave everything to you two. I’m turning back now.”Fearful for his life, the Blademaster wanted to turn back.James nodded and said, “Mhm, this place is filled with evil. You should leave.”“I’ll be waiting outside.” Saying that, the Blademaster stood up and hurriedly fled.James and Walganus looked at one another.James asked, “I’m able to disregard the curse’s power here because I possess a Demonic Body. But, why aren’t you affected as well?”Walganus smiled faintly and said, “I’m no ordinary man. I was able to appear on Planet Galileo despite the seal on the planet. What can a mere curse do to me?”“True that.”James nodded.Since Walganus was full of secrets, James was not surprised that he was also able to disregard the curse’s power.He did not question him further.The t
James and Walganus continued to venture deep into the abandoned and desolate city. The city was huge, and although its buildings had collapsed, it was evident that it had once been a prosperous city a long time ago. The city was now eerily silent, and no sound could be heard.Clack! Clack! Clack!As they walked the streets, their footsteps broke the silence of the desolate city.“Hee hee hee…”At that moment, a peal of gloomy laughter echoed throughout the city. The two looked around at the same time, trying to locate the source of the sound. However, the sound seemed to be coming from all directions. The laughter was eerie and sinister, resembling a baby’s laughter and an elderly person’s low chuckle at the same time.“This is creepy alright.” Furrowing his eyebrows, Walganus reminded James, “Be on your guard. I have a feeling that this city’s inhabited.”James sensed his surroundings. However, there were no signs of life at all.“I agree.” James nodded.Then, he scanned his s
The moment they opened the door, a shadow came charging toward them.Walganus hurriedly raised his arms to block the shadow’s attack, and their palms collided.Before James could react, he felt a powerful force sending him flying out of the City Lord’s Mansion. Then, Walganus was sent flying as well. When he rushed into the City Lord’s Mansion once more, the shadow had already disappeared.James froze, stunned by Walganus’ strength. To his understanding, Walganus was only at the early stages of the Sage Rank. However, the strength he demonstrated was far greater. The battle wave generated when their palms collided sent James flying and caused the Blood Energy inside his body to churn. Walganus’ strength was far greater than what James initially expected.After freezing momentarily, James charged in as well.Upon entering, he saw Walganus standing there, scanning his surroundings.James asked, “What just happened?”Wearing a grim expression, Walganus shook his head and said, “The
Walganus shook his head. Currently, he had no idea who the person concealed in the shadows was. Did he consume the Sea Race’s divine object and surpass his lifespan limit or did he accomplish this through cultivation alone? The only thing Walganus knew was that the person possessed immense power.“Let’s go and have a look.” James looked at the City Lord’s Mansion and said, “This person must have been observing us from the shadows. Since he only appeared a moment ago to obstruct our path, there must be something in here that he doesn’t want us to see.”“Mhm.”Walganus nodded and said, “Be on your guard. This person is incredibly strong. Even I might not be a match for him.”James smiled and said, “There’s nothing for me to worry about with you by my side.”James believed that everything was not as simple as it seemed. Walganus’ strength must have been even greater than that of the Sage Rank’s Thirty-sixth Stage.Walagnus warned, “In any case, we shouldn’t let our guard down.”“Go
Shielded by a golden light, he was engaged in a fierce battle against the man.From afar, James spectated the battle. Soon, Walganus was defeated. He was sent flying from the city and crashed heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the man did not pursue him.Seeing this, James hurriedly rushed over to Walganus’ side. By the time he arrived, Walganus was already sitting in a lotus position on the ground. There were blood traces on his lips, and his face was pale.“Are you alright?”James asked.Wearing a grim expression, Walganus said, “He’s too powerful. There’s no way he’s a cultivator at the Divine Rank’s First Stage. He might have already reached the peak.”“I’m asking if you’re alright.”“I only suffered minor injuries. I should be fine after some rest.”Walganus was injured. However, his injuries were minor, and he only needed some rest.James waited by his side. At the same time, as he gazed at the city in the distance, he was puzzled. There was not a single living bein
