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
Yorick could sense that James had only recently entered the Sage Rank.Although James used two power-enhancing Secret Arts, his current strength was only at the Sage Rank’s Sixth Stage. Yorick’s combat form still far outclassed James in terms of strength.Even, Thea was no match for him.James knew this was going to be an intense battle.Moreover, his current strength was still insufficient to win against Yorick.After using the Sacriligeous Ascension and dragon bone, James activated the Five Elements of Genesis.Five different Sage Energies merged and inverted to form a new energy. This energy tremendously augmented James’ strength.The energy emanating from James continued to grow at an impressive speed.“James has some tricks up his sleeves.”“Indeed. He is only at the Sage Rank’s First Stage, but was able to raise his strength significantly through his Secret Arts.”“The energy he has now should be at the Sage Rank’s Tenth Stage.”“It should be about there.”“That mean
James used many methods to augment his powers but he still had a chance to lose to Yorick.At that moment, a figure quietly appeared in the distance.He wore a white robe and carried a long sword. It was Walganus who had spent some time with James on Galileo. He hovered in the distance and gradually approached until he arrived behind the current spectators.He looked at James and Yorick.He murmured, “James is pretty good at concealing his true power. He’s only at the Sage Rank’s First Stage but can raise his strength to the Tenth Stage. Moreover, his strength is of one that has reached the peak of every stage befor breaking through.”Walganus used to be called Hilarius Yahir in the past and was the son of Lord of the Ancient Heavenly Court. He was born in nobility but was sealed before the Ancient Heavenly Court Age ended.As such, he awakened in the current age.He was a powerhouse that was close to entering the Divine Rank.Yorick was still in his Combat Form as he emanat
