James looked at Truett over his shoulder and winked. Truett immediately fell silent as he understood Jamesʼ signal. Still, he was visibly elated. Meanwhile, the two figures that just appeared had started attacking Herais Tai Chi. Their target could not seem to keep up as the pair attacked swiftly from opposite sides. In just a few minutes, Herais Tai Chi became so severely wounded that her original form was eventually exposed. As the black and white gases surrounding her body scattered due to the attacks, a ravishing and bewitching woman was revealed. The womanʼs beauty shone through even though she was in a bloodied and disheveled state. Herais Tai Chi immediately transformed into a ball of black and white light as her opponents regrouped in the distance to synchronize their attacks. Then, she flew up into the masses of gas making up the Tai Chi diagram. The sound of thunder filled the air as the black and white masses of gas swirled rapidly. “Yegor! Herodias! You tw
James responded, “Oh. I wanted to give your family some time to catch up.” Herodias burst out laughing. “What are you talking about? You are family to us too. Come here!” James smiled and teleported toward them. Yegor suddenly fixed Truett with a cold gaze. “Truett, get down on your knees before James!” Truett was momentarily stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and did as his father instructed. James managed to grab Truettʼs arms and stopped him. “We are friends. I’m gonna give you a good beating if you kneel before me.” Truett scrunched his nose. “My dad wants me to do it, but you won’t allow it. I’m gonna get a beating, no matter what I do. Who should I listen to then?” “Me, of course!” James turned his eyes to Yegor. “Mr. Yegor, let’s skip these formalities between us. As Lady Herodias has said earlier, we are family after all.” “We owe you too much.” Yegor sighed. “I don’t think we will ever be able to return your favors.” “We donʼt have to return all his f
Herodias and Yegor met each othersʼ eyes. They remained silent. Both of them were clever, seasoned cultivators. Moreover, they knew Yehria better than James since they had trained under the same teacher. Even they acknowledged that Yehriaʼs craftiness and wickedness were on another level. After listening to James’ concerns, they could not help but feel slightly shaken. Herodias asked, “James, what do you think she’s plotting?” “Could it be that she decided to take a step back and wait for us to make mistakes?” James furrowed his brows. “Mistakes?” Yegor clicked his tongue. “You must give before you take. What kind of mistakes could it be?” “Morgott.” James said in a low voice, “Could it be related to Morgott?” There was a flash of panic in both Herodiasʼ and Yegorʼs eyes at the mention of Morgottʼs name. “James, what happened between you and Morgottʼs spirit?” asked Herodias.James stole a glance at her. Then, he told them about his encounters with Morgottʼs spirit.
James was perplexed by Yegor’s behavior. He initially thought Yegor was afraid Tirta would do something drastic against him because of the Demonic Spirit. However, it became apparent the situation was far more complicated..After a prolonged silence, Yegor said calmly, “How much do you know about the Demonic Spirit?”James replied, “As I mentioned, I didn’t know him before this. My understanding of him is limited.”Yegor turned abruptly, fixed his eyes on James, and said, “Then how do you know my master sacrificed to seal the Demonic Spirit?”James was caught off guard by Yegor’s question. The information he possessed was from Lesia, an existence unknown to Yegor. James felt slightly hesitant about disclosing this secret.He did not doubt Yegor’s trustworthiness but he remained unaware of Lesia’s true identity. Therefore, James did not want to be careless and disclose unverified information.James smiled faintly, and answered, “You seemed to have forgotten I’ve been to the Ying W
James stared back at Yegor and said, “It’s not that I’m narrow-minded, but I won’t hand over the Demonic Spirit to anyone before clearing a few doubts.”Yegor asked perplexedly, “What doubts?”James answered calmly, “First of all, Silver and Tirta split the Demonic Spirit apart and sealed it in different places, right? Then where did this remnant soul escape from?”Yegor’s brows furrowed.James stretched out two fingers and said, “Secondly, if everything below the Thirty-Three Heavens is governed by the Law of Tai Chi, then why how is Tai Chi unaware that such an important existence like the Demonic Spirit has appeared?”Yegor pointed at James and was about to speak, but James promptly interrupted him, “Thirdly, the biggest doubt I have. The Law of Paths is responsible for monitoring our worlds and also sees the remnant soul of the Demonic Spirit as a big threat. So why did the Law of Paths not notice the Demonic Spirit’s remnant soul had possessed my son and cultivated a Level Tw
On a mysterious mountaintop veiled in mist, Gladwin sat cross-legged, his eyes lightly shut, emanating an air of solemnity. Before him stood a towering figure, an elderly man adorned in a pristine white robe, with snow-white hair and a face that belied his age. The elderly man was none other than the Timaeus Sect and Righteous Alliance’s Leader, Xachary. Xachary was seething with anger. The sudden, unprovoked onslaught by the New Alliance had thrown the Righteous Alliance into disarray, causing chaos, panic, and substantial losses. At the same time, his top general, Hetsema, had gone missing and his fate was uncertain. Moreover, Gladwin, who commanded dozens of forces, refused to lend assistance.As the leader of the Timaeus Sect and Righteous Alliance, Xachary had issued numerous orders. However, Gladwin ignored them. Faced with his defiance, Xachary came to personally question him.Xachary said with gritted teeth, “I've spoken my piece, Gladwin. If even our foundation is unstabl
“It’s time I show you what true strength looks like!” Xachary’s face darkened.Suddenly, a terrifying purplish-red light erupted from Xachary’s body, brimming with malevolent energy, and instantly illuminated the surroundings.Gladwin was caught off guard and was immediately trapped by a mysterious force. His expression shifted abruptly as he shouted, “You! What is this?!!”Xachary cackled, “You’ve severely underestimated me, you fool. You probably only know about Genesis and Historial Power, but never heard of Demonic Power, have you?“You forced me to do this. I had hoped to bide my time and cultivate my Level Four Demonic Body, using you as my cover. Unfortunately, you haven’t been very cooperative and have crossed my bottom line. I can’t keep you anymore.”After speaking, Xachary reached into the void and summoned a purplish-red force to pull Gladwin toward him. In just a few seconds, he had a tight grip around Gladwin’s neck.As Gladwin observed in shock, Xachary’s face unde
With a menacing smile, Xachary remarked, “Whether I’m invincible or not is uncertain. However, I’m definitely strong enough to devour both of you, weaklings.”After speaking, Xachary raised his severed limb. Bathed in a purplish-red glow, his arm began to regenerate.Simultaneously, the purplish-red glow as well as the menacing aura around his body intensified.Gladwin snapped out of the shock, stood up, and exclaimed, “How is this possible? That’s his main body. His arm was severed, but he can regenerate it instantly? Moreover, it seems even stronger?”Despite Gladwin’s outbursts, James remained silent.James never expected Xachary to have possession of the Demonic Spirit’s powers that surpassed Hetsema. He began to suspect more than one remnant soul of the Demonic Spirit had escaped from Zymurgy.At that moment, Xachary who had sported white hair and a youthful appearance for a while, suddenly underwent another transformation. His hair turned crimson, and his body was completel
