“James, I'm afraid this isn't possible," Qusai spoke, "The one guarding Maxine isn't exactly weak. Besides, she’s gravely injured. If the enemy slices off Maxine's neck in an instant, we…""It's gonna be alright." James said, "I know Curse Magic. I will use it to imprison him, preventing him from fighting back. At that moment, you two should seize the opportunity and strike."Brielle said, "If you can restrict the enemy's movement, everything should be fine."The three briefly discussed matters.Meanwhile, Maveth was already walking toward James.Soon, he appeared before James. Looking at James wearing a surly expression, he extended his arm and said smilingly, "I don't wish to make an enemy out of you, James. However, we only have a limited number of War Orders. So please don't blame me for this. For the sake of the ultimate providence, I'll do anything that accomplishes my objectives."James looked at him and said, "Can you obtain the ultimate providence even if I give you my W
James did not wish to antagonize the various races of the universe because the earthlings were still weak. Once the Four Calamities appeared, the seal would be completely undone. This would be catastrophic for mankind.However, there were many top-notch fighters concealed among the human population. They were all at the Grand Emperor Rank.James believed that the Outsiders would not dare act impulsively as long as these powerful figures existed.Some creatures had crossed his red line, and as such, deserved to die.He did not kill Yorick because he played by the rules. He merely imprisoned his friends and did not harm them. Maveth, on the other hand, harmed Maxine.James was set on killing Maveth.Brielle and Qusai left alongside Maxine.Holding the Divine Sword in hand, James walked toward Maveth. At that moment, Maveth had already stood up. Though his body was pierced, and he suffered a blow in his chest, killing a person at his rank was nigh impossible.As he stood up from t
He was sent flying out of Mount Penyet. Meanwhile, the creatures gathered outside the mountain hurriedly retreated to the rear upon seeing the fight for fear of being pulled into the conflict."Consider yourself lucky. I'll let you go this time."The moment they exchanged blows, James immediately knew how powerful the Celestial Ants were. Though he was confident he could annihilate them, he knew he would certainly suffer injuries during the battle. Since this was not yet the time to obtain the ultimate providence, there was no need to waste his time here. With the propulsion of the impact, he swiftly made his escape.In an instant, he appeared before Qusai, Brielle, and Maxine and casually waved his hand. Powerful energy materialized in his palm, dragging them into the Celestial Abode. Then, he swiftly fled the area.Maveth did not give chase.After James left, he transformed back into human form and collapsed to the ground, his life hanging by a thread."Boss." Kakush transforme
Now, thirty-one War Orders had appeared, and only two remained. Once the final two appeared and the Thirty-three Stages Celestial Palace opened, the time would be ripe for competing for the ultimate providence.James had no idea what the Thirty-three Stages Celestial Palace looked like. Now, he could only wait in anticipation. He believed that the final two would soon appear, and he would soon enter the Thirty-three Stages Celestial Palace.Soon, the injuries inside his body recovered.They did not linger for long inside the Celestial Abode. Instead, they concealed themselves in this dense foliage and temporarily stayed in the forest.At the peak of a mountain, James was sitting in a lotus position on the ground. Pensive, he gazed at the undulating mountain range in the distance Brielle walked toward him and sat beside him. Seeing that James was silent, he asked, "A penny for your thoughts?"James collected himself and said, "I've been in closed-door meditation for some time, an
As his mind stirred, he entered the Celestial Abode. At the City Lord's Mansion of the Celestial Abode, the Spirit Tool stood beside James while leaning on a cane and greeted him respectfully, "Master…"James looked at him and asked, "Spirit Tool, how much do you know about the Sword Realm of the Ancestral Sword Master?"The Spirit Tool shook his head and said, "The Ancestral Sword Master is a figure of the Primeval Age. Though his swordsmanship was passed down, his self-created Five Great Sword Realms are still the standards of swordsmanship in the contemporary age. However, I only have a superficial understanding of the matter. Perhaps even you know more than I do."Hearing this, James was dismayed.The Spirit Tool was an extremely powerful figure, and he wished to seek his advice. The Spirit Tool also knew why James came to seek his advice.He thought about it and said, "From my understanding, the First and Second Sword Realms are simple. As long as you cultivate hard, your e
Comprehending the Way was different at times. Sometimes, one would be able to comprehend the matter as thoughts raced through one’s mind. At other times, however, one would not be able to gain any insight even if one entered a closed-door meditation for millennia.James was currently experiencing the latter. To fuse the Murderous Energy into swordsmanship, he would first need to control the Murderous Energy in his body and transform them into power.This was extremely difficult. After making numerous attempts throughout a long period of time, he was only barely able to use it.Before he could imbue the Murderous Energy into his swordsmanship, the War Orders reacted. He hurriedly stopped, took out his War Order, and walked out of the Time Formation.At the same time, Brielle and Qusai stood up.Seeing that James walked out of the Time Formation, Brielle said, "The War Order has reacted. All thirty-three War Orders must have appeared. The Thirty-three Stages Celestial Palace is abou
Hearing this, everyone was puzzled.The Guardian continued, "Now, the War Orders have completely merged with your body. They have also transformed into a crystal inside your body. Whenever you receive damage, the crystal formed by the War Orders will receive damage. When the crystal completely disappears, you'll be disqualified."Hearing this, many began to inspect their bodies.James did the same. He realized that there was a crystal-like object in the elixir field near his abdomen."Don't underestimate the crystal. This is a providence as well. After being shattered, its power will be completely absorbed by your body, and your Sage Energy and physical strength will be boosted. So, no matter the outcome in the end, each of you would receive a providence by arriving at this arena."The Guardian's voice boomed."Of course, the level of destruction of your crystal is correlated with your strength. The stronger you are, the slower your crystal will accumulate damage whenever you are
James had confidence in Feb's strength. She was a Gorger from the Gorger bloodline. Ever since the Primeval Age, there had not been a single Ancestral God. However, some were infinitely close to becoming an Ancestral God. The Grand Patriarch of the Targwyns’ and the Gorger—Feb's father—were among them. By combining their forces, they could certainly overwhelm against all odds.Qusai fixed his gaze on Feb. He could not believe that this harmless-looking girl would be a Gorger."Y-You’re the Gorger that slaughtered your way through Yandul?" Qusai asked puzzledly.Feb said arrogantly, "Don't look at me with those condescending eyes. I don't feel comfortable."Qusai immediately turned away.Brielle stepped forward and said, "Alright now, enough of this. What should we do next?"James scanned his surroundings.The surrounding creatures had already retreated to the rear and maintained a safe distance away from everyone else for fear of being ambushed. James also noticed a few famili
