The Demonic Lotus had boosted his strength significantly.The two were in a stalemate, and time seemed to have stopped. The scene looked as if it had frozen.None of them moved, but potent Sword Energies emerged from their swords, which were pinned against each other. At that moment, thousands of Sword Energies clashed in the sky.James resisted with all his strength and thought about a way to win.To defeat Yorick, he had to use the Third and Fourth Stages of the Ancestral Sword Master’s swordsmanship.However, James still had not fully comprehended them.“I don’t have any other choice.”James took a deep breath.He activated Elemental Inversion, and Elemental Sage Energy entered his sword. At that moment, his sword’s energy transformed.The Elemental Sage Energy fused with the Sword Intent and flowed through the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.The force struck Yorick’s body, and he spat a mouthful of blood.The First and Second Stages of the Five Great Sword Realms were close
It was the first time James tried integrating the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Stages of the Five Great Sword Realms. He could unleash explosive strength and increase his comprehension of swordsmanship.Yorick lost the battle.He was injured all over, and his body was plummeting from the sky. He crashed into the rubble on the ground and did not get back up.James floated in the sky, waiting for Yorick to resurface.Time passed by slowly.Soon, half an hour passed.Finally, a person slowly crawled out of the ruins.By then, Yorick had already dispersed his combat form. His hair was scattered, and he was covered in wounds, his body bloodied. He looked utterly defeated.Yorick sat on a boulder and gasped for air.Immediately afterward, he took out an elixir and consumed it.After his wounds were stabilized, he got up.He raised his head to the sky. James slowly descended and landed firmly on the ground in front of Yorick.Yorick stared at James.“I have to admit. You’re
Maxine reached out to pat Tiara’s head and replied smilingly, “It’s a very long story. I’ll tell you all about it later.”“Okay.” Tiara nodded.At that moment, a few prodigies from the universe walked over.Lucifer was the first to rush over to James. He stood by the side and looked at James, who was lying on the ground weakly while healing his wounds. Lucifer smiled lightly and said, “It’s been a few years since I last saw you, James. You’ve grown even stronger since then. After watching your battle against Yorick, it’ll be tough for me to defeat you even as I am right now.”Lucifer thought he finally had the strength to defeat James after working hard all these years.However, he realized James had become terrifyingly strong after watching the fight. Although he had mastered the Fifth Combat Form, he might still not be able to defeat James.If he were to fight James again, he would still lose.James smiled faintly in response.At that moment, Walganus rushed over. He looked a
It was not easy for James to win the battle.However, the results were satisfactory.After setting the record straight with the Foreigners, James headed into Bane City and found Henry, Tyrus, and the others.All of them were fine.After resolving a series of things, James brought everyone back to Wyrmstead.As for the humans of the Three Thousand Worlds, James did not pay them much attention. He had already won an opportunity for them to enter Mount Bane. As long as they were allowed to enter Mount Bane, they could use the abundant Spiritual Energy there to suppress the curse in their bodies.James was now more worried about ordinary humans and cultivators with relatively low cultivation ranks.James sat in the highest seat of the council in Wyrmstead’s main hall.Quincy held a report and said, “I’ve got the latest news, James. The curse has already infected the entire human race. About three million people are dying from the curse every day.“After going through the previous
James was not expecting Brielle to appear out of the blue.Thea looked at James and smiled mischievously. Then, she said, “I-I still have other things to do. I’ll take my leave first.”After speaking, she stood up and left.“Thea…”James stood up and wanted to chase after her but was held back by Brielle.Brielle tugged James’ arm and asked coldly, “Where’s the bodhi tree?”“Let me explain, Brielle.” James looked at Brielle troubledly.Brielle let go of James, crossed her hands, and stared coldly at James.James said solemnly, “You already know the situation on Earth and the trials humans are going through right now. I didn’t steal the bodhi tree for myself but for the sake of humanity. I want to help humans rise up quickly.”“Th-The bodhi tree is crucial for my clan’s survival in the Demon Realm.”Brielle glared at James and said, “No matter your purpose, I hope you’ll return it to my clan.”James said lightly, “Honestly, the bodhi tree is useless to me. I’ve never consumed
James knew he had wronged Brielle.However, he did not want any more misunderstandings.Thus, he chose to leave and return to his own accommodation.Thea had already returned and was sitting on a chair outside the yard. She was not surprised to see James coming back so soon since she knew James’ character well.She stood up and asked playfully, “Why are you back so soon? You should’ve at least spent some time with her. For the past few years, she’s been traveling with me just to find you.”James walked over, sat down, and smiled troubledly. “Back then, I only married her to steal the bodhi tree. However, I do indeed owe her an apology. I’ll have to find a chance to make it up to her.”Thea also sat back down.“By the way, what’re you planning to do next?”James thought for a while and said, “The elixir for suppressing the curse hasn’t been developed yet, and there’s no certainty on how long it will take. Moreover, I have no idea when the third providence will appear. Thus, I pl
After everyone left the mountain, the ring on James’ finger fell over. Then, it continuously enlarged into a colossal abode.Seeing the Celestial Abode appear on the mountaintop, James was satisfied. He murmured, “I’ll stay here for now and wait for the third providence to appear as well as for the curse-suppressing elixir to be developed.”James casually waved his hand.The Celestial Abode’s gate opened.He stepped inside and appeared on a mountain outside the Celestial Abode’s city.The mountain was full of Spiritual Energy, and countless fruits were planted in the area. All of these fruits contained great power.Everything within the Celestial Abode belonged to James.Seeing the things around him, James felt a sense of accomplishment.He stepped out and descended the mountain. Soon, he reached the city gate and walked toward the City Lord’s Mansion.After fighting with Yorick, James acquired more experience in the Third and Fourth Stages of the Five Great Sword Realms. He p
The mysterious door was full of powerful energy.“That’s the South Heaven Gate.”While the prodigies discussed the Divine Door, a voice suddenly resounded.Hearing the voice, many creatures turned to look for the source.A man in a white robe and carrying a long sword walked over. He was not very handsome but had a decent appearance.“Walganus?” James’ brows furrowed. He walked over to Walganus and asked, “Do you know the origin of this door?”Many of the prodigies stared at Walganus, waiting for his answer.Walganus stared at the Divine Door ahead and harked back into his memories.He was very familiar with the Divine Door.In the past, he used to play around this particular door.After a while, he nodded and said, “Yeah. I know where it’s from.”“Sir, what’s the origin of this Divine Door?”“Yeah. Cut to the chase and tell us.”“Is it the third providence?”They bombarded him with questions.Walganus replied, “I don’t know whether it’s related to the third providence
