A soft white light flashed on James’ ring, and a beautiful woman immediately appeared before him. Sophie’s face darkened as she looked at Falco with a hint of contempt in her expression.“A cultivator at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage dares to act so impudently?”Falco glanced at Sophie. He could sense her exuding an extraordinary aura.“A-A Quasi-Emperor?”Stunned, he staggered backward and stared at Sophie cautiously.“Scram!” Sophie said coldly.Falco was reluctant to do so. He never expected James would have a Quasi-Emperor by his side. Moreover, this Quasi-Emperor was merely a step away from reaching the Grand Emperor Rank. However, he was unwilling to give up just yet. The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword was an unparalleled weapon. If he could possess the sword, he could stand a chance against Sophie.“The Divine Sword belongs to me. He only borrowed the sword from me. Am I wrong to take back what’s mine?”He glared at Sophie and uttered word by word.Sophie, meanwhile, said co
In a seating area in the courtyard of Sangria Palace, James looked at the stunningly beautiful Xianna, who was dressed in gorgeous attire, and said, “Your Majesty…”The moment he spoke, Xianna waved her hand slightly and interrupted him, saying, “I’m no longer the Empress of Sangria. You are the Emperor of this kingdom.”James said, “Becoming the Emperor was only a temporary measure. I became the Emperor in order to break the seal of the Sword Pavilion and lift the curse on Sangria. Now that these tasks have been accomplished, I intend to leave.”“Leave?” Xianna looked at James puzzledly.“Mhm.” James nodded and answered her truthfully, “I’m not a human being from Planet Galileo. I came from Earth, the Human Realm long ago. Of course, this must be unfamiliar to you. However, since the seal on Planet Galileo has been removed and the curse has disappeared, all living beings on the planet can now leave. Though this place is far away from Earth, and you won’t be able to traverse the un
It was Sophie.Sophie appeared before James and looked at him, asking, “Are you ready?”“Mhm.” James nodded and said, “I’m ready. But before you leave, I have a favor to ask of you.”Sophie said, “Name it.”James said, “I fled the Demon Realm alongside Henrik and Qusai, but only I arrived at Planet Galileo. They vanished without a trace. Before I leave, I’d like you to divine where they are.”Henrik and Qusai were James’ sworn brothers. All this while, James had been worried about their safety. Though he requested Sangria to search for them, nothing came to fruition. So, he guessed that they were not on Galileo and had gone elsewhere.Sophie nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll help you out.”Then, sitting in a lotus position in the void, she activated the Extrapolation Art. A mysterious formation appeared before her. It was created by countless mysterious characters, and these characters were constantly changing and exuding a mysterious power.After approximately five minutes, Sophie
James entered the void passageway and advanced at great speed. Approximately ten minutes later, he saw the end of the passage. As he took another step forward, he emerged from the passage and appeared in a vast and twinkling starry sky where darkness surrounded him. He could not even see his own hand in front of him. He looked around and saw a glimmer of light. Moving swiftly toward it, the light grew larger and larger until he finally saw a blue planet—Earth.It was Earth.Upon seeing Earth, James was uncontrollably nervous. After leaving for so long, he was finally back. He wondered what Earth was like now after so much time had passed. Filled with consternation, he slowly approached Earth.“I’m now only a step away from reaching the Sage Rank. Before returning to Earth, I should achieve a breakthrough.”As James approached Earth, he murmured.Then, glancing at the moon, his body flashed, and he immediately flew toward the moon. Soon, he landed on the moon, arriving at an unkn
Meanwhile, the cultivators from the Three-Thousand Worlds gathered at Bane CIty and entered closed-door meditations, paying no heed to the earthlings.At that moment, in Bane City…As time passed, more and more cultivators from the Three-Thousand Worlds traversed through the seal and appeared on Earth, which led to overcrowding in the city. Despite being a medium-sized city, more than 100 million cultivators had gathered there. The streets in Bane City were overcrowded with people.“Argh!”Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream came from the streets. As the scream reverberated throughout the area, a man suddenly collapsed to the ground and rolled on the floor.“What’s wrong?”“What happened?”…Dumbfounded, many watched the man puzzledly from afar.The man who collapsed to the ground kept scratching his body as he rolled, tearing his skin and leaving bloody marks. His hair was disheveled, and his face was contorted with bulging veins. Many people gathered around him but did not
On the moon…James was sitting in a lotus position in a desolate area as he focused all his efforts on breaking the seal. After trying innumerable times, the seal showed signs of loosening. Based on his current speed, he would be able to break the first seal shortly.However, at that moment…“What?”He suddenly sensed an extraordinary power inside his body. This power was somewhat familiar to him, yet also foreign at the same time. Though he had encountered similar powers before, he had no idea why this power suddenly appeared inside his body. It was the power of a curse.As James was earnestly breaking through the seal, he suddenly felt the curse’s power emerge from within him. This power was different from the curse others cultivated, which he could absorb. He could not absorb this power.‘The power of a curse?‘How can this be?’James was puzzled.Just as he was puzzled, the curse began destroying his body ferociously. Now that there was a seal inside his body, he could n
James remained where he stood and allowed the lightning tribulations to attack him freely. When the lightning tribulations struck his body, injuries began to appear on his already gravely-injured body. However, his physical body had already undergone changes and reached the Sage Rank, and the lightning tribulations could not completely annihilate him.As more and more lightning tribulations descended from the sky and struck him repeatedly, he was injured but could not be killed.Soon, all nine lightning tribulations had struck James.James knew that this would not end that easily. As he had no idea whether he would be transported to the Tribulation World, he braced himself nonetheless. After all nine lightning tribulations had descended, a Heavenly Path Embodiment appeared. Seeing a shadow created by the shards of the Law of Heaven in the clouds, James breathed a sigh of relief. Anything was better than having to be transported to the Tribulation World. A mere Heavenly Path Embodi
James sensed the power of the curse inside Delainey’s body. With great difficulty, she walked over to him and said in a feeble voice, “Y-You’re here, James.”It seemed that her life was hanging by a thread, and she could die at any moment. Shortly after, Winnie walked out. She was in a situation similar to Delainey. Though she had the curse’s power inside her body, her condition was much better. Other than her pale face, there was nothing else unusual about her.Immediately afterward, more and more people walked out. Everyone whom James had taken in was cursed. Their bodies were showing signs of unusual symptoms, and some of them were even bedridden. Upon seeing this, James furrowed his eyebrows.Everyone inside the Celestial Abode was a powerful figure, the most distinguished individual on Earth. If even they demonstrated such symptoms, this could only mean that the situation was much worse on Earth.Furrowing her eyebrows, Delainey said grimly, “Dad, this is the curse’s p
