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
For now, he should first dissolve the curse of the humans inside the Celestial Abode.As his mind stirred, the Imperial Jade Seal soared to the sky and exuded an immense power that enveloped the village. At that moment, a black mist materialized from within the bodies of everyone in the village and entered the Imperial Jade Seal before entering James’ body. Immediately, James was surrounded by black mist, and his skin was corroded at a rapid pace.“Dad!”“James!”Upon seeing James’ body being corroded, many screamed. However, as the aura James exuded was too terrifying, they did not dare approach him.James sat in a lotus position on the ground. After absorbing the curse of so many people, his head was spinning, and he could clearly feel his skin being corroded by the curse. Not only that, but he could even sense his power being slowly reduced. Should this continue, he would be reduced to a crippled with no cultivation base. Perhaps before his strength was sapped away, his body wo
James believed that to remove the curse, he needed to cultivate Curse Magic. However, he knew nothing about Curse Magic. Even if he had the culmination of Curse Magic in his possession, this was nigh impossible.Looking at everyone, he said, “We have returned to Earth. At this moment, we’re on the moon. We will return to Earth right now.”Hearing this, everyone was thrilled.To James, this period away from home was not considered long. However, to the rest, 30 thousand years had passed.Earth was their home. After spending 30 thousand years in the Celestial Abode, they could not wait to return home.James did not linger long in the Celestial Abode. As his mind stirred, he disappeared and reappeared on the moon. The moment he appeared, he felt discomfort. The power of the curse made him nauseous, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale. As he catalyzed Demonic Energy to suppress his injuries, he took a few steps forward, intending to leave. However, he stumbl
James walked on the desolate streets. He arrived at the street where Common Clinic used to be located. This was once a bustling street, but now it has become desolate. There were some people on the street, but they were all sickly and seemed to be on their deathbeds.James took a deep breath.“Looks like the Curse Magic has already swept through the globe, and all humans on Earth have already been contaminated. I have to think of a way to remove the curse. Otherwise, humanity will be doomed before long.”After letting out a sigh, James opened the Celestial Abode and released everyone inside. As the curse inside their bodies had been transferred to James, they were currently in good health. Upon seeing the scenery of the streets, they fell silent.James said, “We have returned to Earth, and I have removed the curse inside your bodies and transferred them to me. Do as you please from now on.”Thomas walked toward him and asked, “What do you plan to do next, James? Don’t tell me that
After letting everyone out of the Celestial Abode, James left Cansington alongside Winnie and headed toward Wyrmstead.Wyrmstead was not too far away from Sol. With James’ speed, they should be able to arrive in a short amount of time. However, many unknown regions appeared on Earth during the time they were gone. This increased the distance between Sol and Wyrmstead. Even at his speed, he needed half a day to travel from Cansington to Wyrmstead.Many decades had passed, and Dragonville had become even more bustling, with skyscrapers towering over the sky.James and Winnie arrived at Dragonville. As James scanned the surrounding skyscrapers and the desolate streets, he could not help but sigh, “As the Third Calamity has swept through the globe, everyone now stays inside their homes, afraid to wander about outside.”“Dad, we should head to the palace first.”“Mhm.” James nodded.The two headed to the palace.Once, the palace was heavily guarded. Now, however, there was not a sing
Quincy froze as she fixed her gaze on Winnie. Then, she sighed, saying, “I remember you were still a young girl when you left. In the blink of an eye, you have already become a grown-up. You look so much like your mother, even I mistook you for her.”“Blergh!”After absorbing Quincy’s curse, James suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground before passing out.“Dad!”“James!”The two panicked.Quincy hurriedly stood up and moved the unconscious James onto the bed before inspecting his injuries. However, no matter how long she inspected, she could not find out what was wrong with him.“W-Winnie, what’s wrong with James?” Quincy asked, worried.Wearing a grim expression, Winnie said, “The Third Calamity has swept across the globe, affecting all humans on Earth. Dad absorbed the curse for us and contained it in his own body. Just now, he helped you absorb the curse as well. Perhaps his body couldn’t bear it anymore, which is why he fell unconscious.”“Wha
James knew how to resolve the Third Calamity. However, the method was described to him by the Ancestral Talisman Master, who was perhaps giving a description from his own perspective. To resolve the Third Calamity, James needed to reach the Ancestral God Rank, a rank that was too distant from him. At the moment, he could only remove the curse of a handful of people. At his wit’s end, he decided to look for the custodian of the Chamber of Scriptures to discuss matters with her.“Winnie, stay in Wyrmstead. I’m going out for a while.”“Understood.”After James gave his order, he turned to leave Wyrmstead and headed to Sol. Then, he headed to Mount Tai and entered the cavern. As he had been to the Chamber of Scriptures many times now, he knew his way around here. As he arrived at the first floor of the Chamber of Scriptures, he yelled while facing the empty place, “Ms. Custodian!”His voice boomed.Swoosh!At that moment, a soft white light appeared, gathering to form a stunningly
