James clasped his hands behind his back, lifted his head, and let out a hearty laugh, “The Tai Chi’s decree is nothing to me.”He squinted, then said, “It seems like you three are itching for a fight to catch up on our old times together. Well then, I’d be happy to oblige. Come at me at once.”The trio exchanged glances, then unleashed their powerful auras and launched simultaneous attacks on James from different directions.James stood his ground completely undaunted by their efforts. He calmly summoned the Judgment Scythe and Adjudication Sword, then channeled his Marciais Power.Their forces clashed, marking the beginning of an intense battle.The three powerhouses at the Quasi Daeclon Rank, fought with their intense Qrohm and Historial Power, unleashing all of their Supernatural Powers.Meanwhile, James was merely fighting for amusement and to gauge the strength of his old acquaintances. Hence, he feigned an equal match with them, withholding most of his strength.The Marcia
After a prolonged silence, Matias drew in a deep breath and said, “Leave, Forty-nine. Pretend our paths never crossed today. Return to the Dark World and never return.”James arched an eyebrow and asked, “You’re letting me go?”Matias parted his lips, but his words were caught in his throat.Wayra stared at Matias and hurriedly said, “Are you out of your mind? Tai Chi’s decree mandates that failure to eliminate him if we see him will bring disaster upon our entire sect!”Matias slowly shut his eyes, saying, “Then shall we pay his saving grace with enmity? I simply can’t bring myself to do such a thing.”Wayra stood in stunned silence for a moment before bursting out in frustration. “Why are we so unlucky?”Princess Lumia said, “We’re in charge of watching the Xyndaros Genesis World. As long as we keep our silence, nobody will know, ain’t that correct?”Wayrna glared at Princess Lumia and snapped, “You’re being naive. Countless eyes witnessed us being teleported away. If we fail
“Nonsense. Who’s injured? "We just missed out on a chance to reach the Daeclon Rank. We’re just trying to come to terms with it,” Princess Lumia retorted, her eyes flashing with irritation. “Sigh! Why did the Dark World’s Demon have to be Forty-nine? Why couldn’t it have been Yaquis or Nando instead?” Matias shook his head frustratedly.Hearing their exchange, Wayra settled to the ground and snorted contemptuously, “Weren’t you two the ones so set on letting him go? Are you regretting it already?”Matias rolled his eyes, and replied, “I simply can’t bring myself to be someone with ingratitude. My Grand Patriarch warned me that if I did something like that, even if I were to reach the Daeclon Rank, I would never reach the Daeclon Mahayana Rank.”Wayra scoffed, “That’s absurd. Then, how did someone so wicked like Yaquis surpass us in cultivation?”“You’re so clueless. Before the Daeclon Rank, one has to rely on talent and luck. However, after entering the Daeclon Rank, one’s past
In the void ahead, James who had supposedly left with grave injuries, returned in his Ultimate Golden Form. He was surrounded by mysterious powers in shades of grey, black and white, illuminating the area.Countless grey clouds drifted around, accompanied by the lingering chime of bells, flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder, blazing flames, and howling winds, casting an imposing and overwhelming aura.Princess Lumia, Matias, and Wayra suddenly felt an overpowering pressure wash over them, instantly shattering their Genesis Divine Light.While still shocked, they were forced to their knees by the force and were completely unable to resist.At that moment, they knew what true terror and despair in the face of a formidable opponent felt like. Whatever thoughts of fighting back or even self-destruction were shattered in his presence.Their Genesis and Historial Powers were swiftly sealed, leaving them helpless and trapped within the space.Within seconds, their cheeks flushed under
Wayra and Princess Lumia were taken aback by Matais’ words.Meanwhile, Matias stared at James and asked, “Why go through such elaborate measures, Forty-nine? What are you trying to achieve?”Wayra and Princess Lumia looked at James warily.James complimented, “As expected from the Jercente Sect’s Young Master, you’ve got impressive insight. Since we’re old friends, I’ll stop the pretense and cut to the chase.”With his hands behind his back, James slowly approached, saying, “I didn’t mean to demean or flaunt my power before you. Rather, I was simply seeking for like-minded comrades to join forces and change our chaotic worlds.”Wayra, Princess Lumia, and Matias all widened their eyes in disbelief. They wondered whether James meant to defy the Law of Tai Chi to the bitter end.James said smilingly, “And of course, you three had passed my test. I believe you three are the allies that I’m looking for.“I could’ve easily manipulated you with Curse Magic, turning you into my puppets.
Matias settled onto the ground, summoning a wine gourd and taking a long draught. Though he remained silent, his actions spoke volumes, conveying his decision.Princess Lumia and Wayra looked at him in surprise.“Will you not reconsider, Matias?” asked Wayra.“What about becoming the Jercente Sect’s Leader?” Princess Lumia chimed in, equally urgent. Matias set down his wine gourd, and said, “While Forty-nine has only crossed paths with us once, his comprehension of us and the Genesis Worlds surpasses our own. While I can’t claim to represent my sect, I can certainly choose on my own behalf.”With his declaration made, he turned toward James and said, “You’re right. I don’t know about the others, but I refuse to spend my life as a servant or become a pawn for someone else’s ambitions.”Princess Lumia and Wayra exchanged uneasy glances.Without a true understanding of James’ strength, the choice was easy to make. But after they realized his undeniable strength, it was clear their
Matias furrowed his brows and said, “The crucial question is, can this Sky Bridge truly create a formidable barrier between us and other forces in the Genesis Worlds?”James offered a reassuring smile, nodded, and said, “I constructed it with the Direguard Lock. What do you think?”The trio’s astonishment was palpable.Wayra interjected, asking curiously, “Isn’t the Direguard Lock located in the Telhervo Holy Site, serving as a barrier against Skynet and imprisoning Yegor and Herodias? How did you obtain it?”James looked at him with an enigmatic smile, saying nothing in response.“How are you so dense? Forty-nine is really powerful now.” Princess Lumia chided Wayra, delivering a light knock to his head. Matias took over the conversation, asking, “Even if he is at the Xaeclon Rank, he might not necessarily be able to gain possession of Tai Chi’s Direguard Lock, right?”Staring at James, Matias pressed, “Can you disclose your current strength to us?”“I’m at the Fifth Xaeclon
After Matias, Wayra, and Princess Lumia joined James’ side, the tens of billions of creatures blocking the path of the Sky Bridge dispersed.Jacopo and Xainte immediately panicked after observing them head in Skynet’s direction.Xainte turned to James and asked frantically, “What did you tell them, Sir? Why are they headed toward Skynet?”Jacopo, on the other, hesitated to speak.James smiled calmly and said, “Let’s focus on constructing the bridge for now.”After speaking, James tapped the void and another spiritual body of the Direguard Lock materialized, then formed another pivotal point of the bridge on the edge of the Xyndaros Genesis World. Then, James continued to navigate through the air.Initially, James had intended to utilize the Direguard Lock to partition the regions under Tai Chi’s dominion to gain a strategic advantage. However, even though the bridge was constructed in a straight line, it was not enough to reach the Forladtt Land. There was still the distance of th
