Yorick waited one whole day for James and did not want to wait any longer. Just as he was about to leave, Thea showed up and challenged him.In actuality, James was indeed rushing over but ran into someone along the way.If it were not for this person, he would have already appeared for the fight.After James left Mount Tai, he headed straight for Mount Bane.However, he was stopped by a woman shortly after beginning his journey.The woman had long black hair and hovered in the air in a willowy white dress. Her back was turned to James, so he could not see her appearance.“Who are you?”James looked at the woman blocking his path, and his brows furrowed.The woman slowly turned around and revealed herself to him.“Y-You are…?!”James was shocked upon seeing the woman.“M-Maxine? Why are you here? Where have you been all these years?”The woman was none other than Maxine who had disappeared many years ago.Maxine floated in the air and gave James a look of longing. Tears we
After briefly mulling it over, James said, “If that’s the case, let’s go.”Maxine led James away to a mountain range in Sol.The mountain range had recently appeared in Sol. It had abundant Spirtual Energy and a captivating environment. A simple wooden house sat on the mountaintop. Upon arrival, James noticed a middle-aged man sitting in front of the wooden house. He wore a black robe and was playing the flute in his hand. A melodic tune came from the flute.“Sir.”After Maxine brought James to the wooden house, she respectfully addressed the middle-aged man.James looked at the man and thought, ‘Who’s this guy?’The middle-aged man stopped playing the flute and casually placed it on the table beside him. He looked at James and pointed to the chair next to him as he said, “There’s no need to impose yourself. Have a seat.”James sat down and stared at the middle-aged man.After a while, he recognized the man before him.He had seen this person before.When he first arrived i
Since James followed Maxine to meet Caelum, he ended up late for his battle with Yorick.Seeing that James had not shown up, Thea took it upon herself to fight in his place.Thea hovered in the sky and held onto the Malevolent Sword.She had a general understanding of Yorick’s strength and knew her opponent was a Sage at the Tenth Stage. However, she was not a weak person either.Before departing to the Demon Realm, she had already become a Sage.The Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the Demon Realm was much stronger than on Earth. After adventuring and training in the Demon Realm for many years, she had reached the Sage Rank’s Ninth Stage.Additionally, she had to reach the peak of each stage to break through the Elysian Seal in her body.Thus, she was only one stage lower than Yorick.Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and the Malevolent Sword glowed with black Sword Energy. At that moment, the energy from her body grew stronger and caused the surrounding space to distort.
Swoosh!Thea did not respond to Yorick. Instead, she launched another attack.While swinging her sword, she immediately dashed in front of Yorick. Thea struck directly at Yorick.Yorick remained calm. At the last second, a sword appeared in his hand. It looked like a regular iron sword.However, powerful energy seeped out from the seemingly ordinary iron sword.Yorick raised his sword and parried Thea’s blow.Clank!The two swords clashed, and their potent Sword Energies collided.At that moment, their fight intensified.Thea felt a colossal force crash into her. Unable to withstand the force, she was blasted away, and her Blood Energy churned.She could not suppress her Blood Energy and spat out a mouthful of blood.Yorick, on the other hand, floated in the sky unscathed.As soon as the two exchanged moves, the spectators immediately saw the difference in strength between the two.Even though Thea was powerful, she was lacking compared to Yorick.“Is that all you’ve go
Faced against the powerful Yorick, Thea had no choice but to turn to her strongest signature martial art skill.After activating the Four Holy Beasts’ power in her body, she raised her hand, and powerful Sword Energy flowed forth. It shot up to the sky and formed an illusion of the Four Holy Beasts once more.The illusory figures of a dragon, phoenix, qilin, and Spirit Turtle formed in the sky.At that moment, Yorick looked on grimly.Although Thea was one stage behind him, Thea’s current energy was very potent and overwhelmed his.Thea’s sword also became incredibly powerful.Yorick knew he would be defeated if he did not use one of his trump cards.Right then, he put away his ordinary-looking sword. A bright blue sword then materialized in his hand and gave off a blue glow.Yorick held the blue sword, and his aura immediately changed.“Ah! I-Is that the Athuran Sword?”“It’s the divine sword of the Athurans. It used to be Grand Emperor Lamont’s sword. The Athuran Sword is a
“Die!”Yorick was determined to kill Thea.Thea displayed impressive power, and he could not allow such a powerful human to live.Yorick held onto the Imperial Weapon and charged at Thea. As his form flickered, tremendous power was released from his sword. One after another, Sword Energies formed from his sword.Countless Sword Energies shot out and crisscrossed in the air to form a net of blades. His attack charged straight at Thea.Before Thea could recover from the impact of the earlier shock wave, Yorick had already sent an attack her way.Thus, she was forced into defensive maneuvers. She swung the Malevolent Sword, constantly knocking away the Sword Energies that charged at her.The battle intensified, and the intensity forced the spectators to retreat continuously. Langston, the Omniscient Deity, and the others watched the battle with somber expressions.“Thea’s cultivation rank is still relatively low. She’s only at the Sage Rank’s Ninth Stage. However, she managed to
After Yorick entered his combat form, his strength multiplied.Thea felt tremendous pressure coming from Yorick.“You’re impressive, Thea. You even forced me to transform into my combat form. You are the first among those of my age who are worthy to battle me like this. You’ve made a name for yourself today.”Yorick’s voice echoed haughtily. Then, he lunged at Thea.His strength had improved drastically, which also strengthened his sword’s power.Faced with Yorick’s overwhelming onslaught, Thea could no longer avoid all his blows. After just a few moves, Thea sustained a few more injuries.“Die!”As he growled, Yorick’s Imperial Weapon pulsed with overwhelming power. He gripped the sword and charged at Thea. Then, he swung his weapon.Thea raised the Malevolent Sword to parry the attack.The two swords struck each other.Clank!Thea’s sword snapped in half.Struck by the devastating force, bloody wounds opened up all over her body. Thea plummeted from the sky and crashed in
“James is too cowardly to show up himself. Instead, he has his wives fighting on his behalf. Since you’re so eager to die, who am I to stop you?”Yorick raised the Imperial Weapon in his hand and was to strike Brielle.“This is my fight, so why are you involving yourself?”Everyone jumped in shock when they heard the voice. They turned toward the sound and saw a man flying from the distance, followed by a woman behind him.“It’s James! H-He’s finally here!”“W-Who’s that woman with him?”“Isn’t that Maxine?”“How could it be her? She disappeared so many years ago. Why is she suddenly appearing now?”Many of the humans present were shocked by the two people that suddenly turned up.James went over to Yorick hastily. With a few steps, he appeared before Brielle. He glared at her and said, “Back off.”Brielle bit back at him. “Do you think I want to fight? It’s because you took your time coming here, so I had to…”James ignored her and descended from the sky. He landed on the g
