James had already occupied a white halo in advance, enhancing his strength.He did not need to boost his defense since he had the 108 Infinity Steles which could be used as a formation to prevent enemies from getting close or causing substantial damage to him.After fighting for so long and eliminating many other candidates, the remaining contenders’ crystals were also almost exhausted. Meanwhile, James’ crystal was still mostly unused and sustained almost no damage.After James boosted his strength, he said with a smile. “Let’s start the battle.”James’ voice echoed throughout the arena.However, no one moved a muscle. Instead, they exchanged glances and watched each other carefully.There were nine people left in the arena.Brielle had occupied the golden halo in the center, which kept her safe for the time being.The other contenders were also scattered throughout the arena.Seeing that no one had made a move, James swept his gaze over the remaining contenders. Finally, h
James smiled threateningly. “If I don’t fight you, then who are you suggesting I go after? I’ll have to attack someone eventually. Are you just expecting us stay in this aimless stalemate?”Yorick’s expression became terrifyingly dark.In his previous fight against James, he deliberately concealed his last resort.However, Yorick knew he was not a match against the current James who had his strength enhanced.Yorick was anxious. ‘What should I do?’While he was in thought, James had already leaped towards him.Yorick shouted, “Damn it. If I’m destined to be eliminated, then I’ll make you expend your crystal’s energy!”At that moment, Yorick immediately transformed into the Athuran Combat Form’s Third Stage. His face became green, and his teeth sharpened into fangs. A black armor covered his body, and his body erupted with blazing energy.Boom!James did not hold back. The Infinity Steles revolving around him aggressively rushed toward Yorick one after the other.Yorick had al
Maveth and Matilde deliberately avoided fighting Feb and Qusai. They secretly waited for another chance to attack James.At that moment, Yorick was enraged. He no longer cared about whether he could reach the last level of the arena. He went berserk and attacked James viciously. Although James had the Infinity Steles, Yorick forcibly breached their defenses and dealt a devastating blow to James.Initially, James was able to handle Yorick calmly.However, Maveth and Matilde occasionally snuck in blows at him, and he would get injured while distracted.After fighting for a while, the crystal in James’ body had its energy spent.James cursed out, “Damn it.”At that moment, he no longer held back. He had to eliminate one of them as soon as possible to concentrate on the other opponents. Countless Sword Energies emerged out of his body.He had summoned his Yogacara.James’ Yogacara Sword Energy flowed into the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.The sword energy and the sword were from Ge
At that moment, Wilvalor quickly entered the fray. He charged at James at an incredible speed and appeared behind James. He thrust his palm through the gap between the Infinity Steles and struck James with great force.James’ back was struck extremely forcefully and he jerked forward.“Get lost.”James held the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword, turned around, and attacked with his sword.Dazzling Sword Energy burst out and pierced Wilvalor’s body.Wilvalor quickly retreated and kept a certain distance from James.At that moment, a strange inscription imbued with the power of lightning appeared above him. Immediately, thousands of lightning bolts struck down at James.The Infinity Steles blocked off most of the lightning. However, the lightning strikes were extremely numerous, and a few managed to strike James.Every bolt that struck James caused his crystal to wear down even further.James cursed furiously, “Damn it!”He knew Lucifer would get in his way, but he was not expecting hi
James controlled the Infinity Steles, allowing them to revolve around him and block the attacks from Lucifer and Wilvalor. At the same time, he threw everything into attacking Yorick. His current strength was much superior to Yorick’s. Yorick retreated continuously, but James chased after him relentlessly. Faced with an onslaught of James’ various Supernatural Powers, Yorick had no room to fight back.James would have killed Yorick a hundred times over if it were not for the crystal in his body.Meanwhile, Wilvalor and Lucifer launched another series of attacks at James.Although James had the Infinity Steles protecting him, Wilvalor was a powerhouse that specialized in physical strength. With one punch, he knocked one of the Infinity Steles away. He quickly seized the chance, dashed toward James’ back, and swung a powerful punch at James.James’ attention was concentrated on Yorick, so by the time he realized the danger he was already struck in the back.The blow left a grues
Yorick was struck hundreds of times in just a few seconds and this consumed a large amount of his crystal’s energy.James guessed that the energy in Yorick’s crystal was almost depleted and that he could eliminate him in about ten minutes.Yorick growled, “Argh!!!”Then, he activated his Secret Art. His blood began to boil, and his strength increased rapidly. After his strength was boosted, he began to desperately fight back against James.Yorick’s strength had improved exponentially. He was now able to withstand James’ attacks and broke through the Infinite Stele’s defenses to deal damage to James.Meanwhile, Wilvalor and Lucifer also found an opportunity to attack James from the side.The intense battle continued in the arena.Feb and Maveth were engaged in combat as well. Both of them unleashed various Forbidden Arts from the Primordial Age.At the same time, Qusai was also battling against Matilde.Brielle attempted to seize the chance to keep Wilvalor and Lucifer occupied
The remaining contenders in the arena were James, Feb, Qusai, Brielle, Lucifer, Maveth, Matilde, and Wilvalor.The Guardian’s appearance attracted everyone’s attention and temporarily stopped the ongoing fights.He stood in the middle of the arena. He wore a black robe with an oversized hood that covered his face.The Guardian announced, “The Ancient Heavenly Court Age was a glorious era where many talented people were born. There would have been countless Grand Emperors and Ancestral Gods in this age if not for the universe restricting them and preventing them from achieving greater heights.“Despite the lack of Ancestral Gods in the Ancient Heavenly Court Age, many were very close to the rank.“All these powerful figures had inherited various Supernatural Powers and Secret Arts, now hidden within the Ancient Heavenly Court’s ruins. However, select ones are kept within the last few levels of the arena.”James suddenly remembered what Walganus had told him before entering the Sou
A terrifying power spread through the air, knocking everyone away.At the pivotal moment, a mysterious inscription appeared in the sky. It transformed into a powerful force and spread through the air, instantly immobilizing everyone.“Haha! It’s mine!”Lucifer chuckled, grabbed the jade, and put it away.He had used the Elysian Inscription to imprison everyone.By the time James and the other creatures broke free from the Elysian Inscription’s bindings, Lucifer had already seized the Thirty-Six Demonic Art.After Lucifer snatched the jade, he quickly retreated into a corner of the arena. He looked at everyone’s jealous stares and said smugly, “Guys, since I managed to obtain the Thirty-Six Demonic Art, it means that it was destined to be mine. Don’t fight me over it. There’s more on the next levels. Right now, it’s more important to eliminate someone so we can proceed to the next arena.”Lucifer’s voice carried through the arena.Maveth cursed out, “Damn it.”Thirty-Six Demoni
