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
James instantly dashed out of the purplish-red light rays and cast the Terrastride Step, appearing in front of Xachary in the blink of an eye.Boom!James raised his hand and delivered a powerful punch, unleashing a violent Marciais Power toward Xachary.Caught off guard, Xachary barely had time to turn his head before the forceful blow shattered his nose. Blood splattered as his body was propelled backward after being struck by the Marciais Power.James gave Xachary no chance to retaliate. He swiftly activated the Dawnblaze Form and intercepted the Xachary’s trajectory Xachary. Then, he infused his Marciais Power into his fist and swung hard.Boom! With a deafening explosion, half of Xachary’s body was blasted away.James followed up with the Terrastride Step, swiftly closing in on Xachary. Then, he thrust his palm forward, mobilizing all of his Marciais Power. He transformed his palms into fists and fists into swords, accelerating to the utmost limit.“You’re not Yaquis!” Xach
As the terrifying purplish-red light rays swept outward, James, propelled by the force of the blast, suddenly sprang into action. He transformed into a streak of Sword Lights and pierced through Xachary’s Demonic Body.Xachary trembled and looked at the bloody hole in his body. His arrogance was long gone and was replaced with shock.“Impossible! Nobody should be able to penetrate my Demonic Body…” Xachary’s outbursts were cut short by James’ Sword Light, and his body was punctured once again.Xachary let out an ear-piercing growl and unleashed a purplish-red light ray to recover his body.James transformed back to his human figure, but took on his original appearance and no longer disguised himself as Yaquis. His eyes locked onto Yaquis and immediately charged at him once more.With gray, black, and white lights, James clashed fiercely with Xachary’s purplish-red aura. The two flickered through the sky as the battle intensified.It was a clash of close combat prowess and raw str
