James, who had suddenly been exposed, was equally puzzled by the sudden events. He planned to observe how his children would diffuse the situation, not expecting to be suddenly revealed by the Courageous Tower.After a moment of shock, Lyla exclaimed, “Forty, Forty-nine!”James teleported in front of her in a flash, covered her mouth, and shook his head.Lyla was incredibly shaken by the situation. She never imagined the person that she had been longing for would appear so unexpectedly.For years, she had been tormented by the thoughts of James and was unable to find peace at night. Upon waking, her face would be stained with tears, and the weight of her longing for him weighed heavily.She constantly reminded herself the man she yearned for had already vanished. Whether he was still alive, or in seclusion was still uncertain. Nonetheless, she held on to the hope he would return as a formidable powerhouseBefore others, she buried the sorrow and longing deep within, portraying he
Lyla wept inconsolably in James’ arms, releasing all the pent-up emotions she had been holding inside. Every tear carried with it a mixture of grievances, sadness, longing, pain, helplessness, and even a hint of excitement.This once formidable law enforcer who had commanded respect and fear, now resembled a vulnerable little girl, her tears flowing uncontrollably like raindrops.If there was anything capable of breaking Lyla’s cold front, it was James.After what felt like an eternity, Lyla's sobs began to subside, eventually fading into silence. James looked down to see her wide, tear-filled eyes staring up at him, her grip on his arm tight as if afraid he would vanish into thin air.Gradually, she fell into a deep slumber in James’ arms.As he held Lyla in his arms, James could not help but feel overwhelmed by the weight of her affection. Her persistence touched him deeply, yet it also burdened him with a sense of responsibility that he found difficult to bear.He looked at he
Suddenly, James asked, “It’s beautiful, right? Want one?”Upon hearing James’ words, Noel and Winnie were taken aback. Their expressions resembled those of individuals who had unexpectedly encountered ghosts in broad daylight.“You two have reached great heights in cultivation, but haven’t reached the stage where you can merge with a golden body. Perhaps if you kill another trillion remnant souls that are at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation’s Consummation, you might qualify.”Winnie immediately recomposed and positioned herself in front of James.“Dad, you…you…” she stammered, evidently at a loss for words.“Yeah, it’s me. At least you remember. Indeed the eldest is always the most sensible one,” James said with a chuckle.Winnie suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into James’ arms.“I was complimenting you. Why are you crying? As my daughter, you’re only allowed to shed tears on your wedding day,” James smiled, returning her embrace.“I thought I’d never s
Simultaneously, Noel propelled himself into the air, swiftly landing on Winnie’s shoulder. With a swift motion, he extended his long knife, directing it forward. His powers of heaven and earth formed into Sword Lights and merged into the oval-light shield. The hues of the surroundings shifted and a weighty sense of oppression and formidable energy filled the air, even causing James to feel a hint of awe.Was this a joint attack of the skills taught by the Celestial Sages and Yegor?Though their righteous aura as well as heaven and earth powers were only a fraction of their teachers, their combined strength was undeniably impressive.Observing their poised demeanor, James felt inclined to personally assess his children’s strengths. He moved to gently set Lyla aside, but to his surprise, she had already opened her eyes.James immediately said telepathically, “Don’t expose me. Let them fight with their full strength.”Understanding his intentions, Lyla nodded and sat in a crossed
The siblings anxiously looked toward Lyla, who was sitting nearby with closed eyes.Winnie asked, “Aunt Lyla, where did you find a powerhouse like him from? Please let him teach us. I’ll get you the most delicious jerky! A lot of them!”Noel also pleaded, “Please, Aunty Lyla. Next time you quarrel with Aunt Rebella, I’ll side with you.”James almost failed to suppress his laughter, finding it funny his children were so playful with Lyla even though they had been so afraid of her a few moments ago.It seemed Lyla’s teachings toward them were not only strict but also filled with love. It was why they could act so carefreely with her.Lyla slowly opened her eyes and said, “Really?”“Of course!” Noel and Winnie nodded simultaneously. James was rendered speechless, surprised Lyla, the epitome of coldness, was so easily bribed. Lyla immediately leaped into the air, and stopped beside James, saying, “Give them some guidance. It hasn’t been easy for them.”Noel and Winnie looked at
James’ actions exemplified a father’s deep care and love for his children.Seeing the siblings’ ashamed expressions, James waved his hand and transported everyone to the outer battlefield’s fifth level. Instantaneously, a horde of dense remnant souls swirled around them at lightning speed.“Watch carefully,” James shouted, then darted out.Confronted by the densely clustered remnant souls, he swiftly maneuvered through them, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. Instead of killing them, he gently tapped on them to disable them.In just the blink of an eye, billions of remnant souls were lying on the ground, yet none of them were destroyed. James made his way back to his children and stopped beside them.Noel and Winnie were startled to see the remnant souls growl in pain, unable to get up from the ground.They were in awe of James’ approach to taking down the remnant souls.James said sternly, “As I said, the most undefeatable skill is speed. These are remnant souls, so killing
A burst of light suddenly emerged in the main hall of the golden palace located on the Forladtt Land’s third level, instantly materializing into James and Lyla.James gazed at the palace walls, and refined decor adorning the place. He could vividly recall the first time he arrived in the Forladtt Land’s third level. Back then, to acquire the Nether Demonic Sword housed inside this palace, he fell into the Aqualsoul and was trapped. Not only was Lesia almost obliterated, but his golden body that he had painstakingly cultivated was destroyed by the Aquasoul.However, it was also in the Aquasoul that he met the two elders who helped him forge Nirvana Golden Bones.From that pivotal moment onward, James embarked on his ascent, securing the Aquasoul, claiming the Nether Demonic Sword, and gifting his companions permission to cultivate within the golden palace. He achieved numerous remarkable feats, including the acquisition of the Historial Wind Spirit and his subsequent entry into the
James asked with a frown, “Why?” Lyla sighed and replied, “We’ve run some investigations. There are already two powerhouses above the Fifth Xaeclon Rank in the Genesis Worlds. They’re called Tai Chi Messengers. Even if I entered the Xaeclon Rank, it wouldn’t change our situation. I’ll just be wasting the Forladtt Land’s limited resources.“Instead, it’d be better to use the resources on training up people to the Quasi Daeclon Rank. By doing so, at least we’ll have a greater chance of defending our home.”James laughed after hearing her answer. Lyla had stayed inside the Forladtt Land, protecting it for so long, and was oblivious to the outside world’s situation.He promptly explained the current trends of the Genesis Worlds after he had left Yin’s Void.Lyla looked at him in shock and asked, “In other words, there aren’t any more powerhouses at the Xaeclon Rank out here? Then, what heights have you reached in your cultivation?”James replied smilingly, “I’m at the Fifth Xaeclon
