Truett seemed to never grow up. He always thought about having strong ambitions and taking risks. He had no interest in sect affairs at all.It was a good thing, but at the same time, it was a bad thing. He made Yegor and Lady Herodias happy, but he gave them a headache too.James knew what Truett and Xitlaly were thinking.Glancing at Yegor and Lady Herodias, he smiled and said, “It will be risky to enter the fifth layer of the Forladtt Land this time. I think you guys should at least be in the Xaeclon Rank.”Upon hearing that, Truett laughed. “I have just entered the Xaeclon Rank. I can go…”Before he could finish speaking, Xitlaly had grabbed his ear. “Do you think you’re amazing now that you have entered the Xaeclon Rank?”Truett immediately screamed, but he refused to change his mind because he knew what his wife wanted to do.When he could no longer endure the pain, he complained, “Mom, Dad, look at her…”Before he could finish his words, Yegor and Lady Herodias pulled Ja
“You’re so impatient.” Lady Herodias kicked Yegor without much patience. “Haven’t you heard what James said? Shouldn’t we settle things here first?”Yegor replied, “With so many sects, how long do you think it’ll take to arrange each one individually?”“It’s not that complicated.” James smiled. “You can just give instructions to a few key figures.”As he spoke, he flipped his hand and unleashed a powerful Marciais Power that struck into the void. It swiftly formed a slowly rotating vortex.Yegor widened his eyes. “This... this is Yianni’s top-tier Supernatural Signature Skills, the Marciais Soul Vortex?”“The Marciais Soul Vortex...” Lady Herodias’ voice trembled, “Is it the Dawn Supernatural Power that can ignore formations and restrictions, tear through space at will, and even cross space-time?”While the couple was astonished, they saw James’ other hand suddenly summoning a tri-color force of gray, black, and white, coalescing into a black illusory massive hand that plunged in
Yancy was stunned, then nodded helplessly. “Your Majesty, but they...”“I know your feelings for Wylie are extraordinary,” James said calmly. “Rest assured. I’ll give you an explanation for this matter.”With that, he glanced at the other living beings from the Jademora Empire. “I understand the sentiments of you guys. After all, you’ve fought blood battles against each other. I, James Caden, never thought that my mere words could dissolve your hatred.“Still, it’s important to keep in mind that your mindset shapes your cultivation base and the future of the Jademora Empire. If you can’t think beyond the Forladtt Land or even the whole Genesis World, achieving goals like advancing the Jademora Empire or reaching the Drevarius Rank will just be wishful thinking.”At these words, everyone present was momentarily stunned.“Let’s put an end to the nonsense.” James waved his hand. “If you feel the grudges run too deep and the hatred is difficult to dispel, you’re welcome to confront th
On the side, Perthacus looked at Truett with tears streaming down his face. “Truett, you’re really not dead.”“Mr. Wulte.” Truett pointed at Perthacus, then burst into laughter. “You old guy, I thought you didn’t fight me last time and got killed by Hetsema. I didn’t expect you’re still alive.”With that, he rushed towards Perthacus and embraced him, the old and the young hugging as if they were long-lost friends after countless ages.“It’s good that you’re alive,” Perthacus sniffed. “Darn it, how did sand get into my eyes?”Truett laughed. “Just cry if you want to. No one’s laughing at you.”“Mr. Wulte.” James smiled. “You can remove those three tomb plates.”Perthacus released Truett and turned to James. “Alright, I’ll smash them when we get back.”“Truett.” Lucille stepped forward with a smile. “You’re married and have a wife now. Are you still daring to hug me?”Truett was stunned and looked at Xitlaly.“I’ll hug you just the same, sister.” Xitlaly smiled and hugged Lucill
“Such disloyalty, unfiliality, inhumanity, and injustice, even a thousand cuts and ten thousand slashes wouldn’t be enough, let alone turning the page?“Moreover, he conspired with the Demonic Spirit, cultivated the Demonic Body, devoured living beings, and committed heinous crimes of the utmost cruelty and insanity.”As he spoke, James suddenly knelt with a clang. Everyone present was startled and quickly took a few steps back.“What are you doing, James?” Yegor exclaimed in surprise.“No, James!” Lady Herodias hurriedly stopped him.“James.” Truett immediately followed suit, kneeling. “What are you doing? He’s already been punished. Let it go!”As his words fell, the people around also knelt one after another. The powerhouses from the Four Great Sects were initially stunned but quickly followed suit.“You don’t have to do this,” James said apologetically, “The so-called sins of the father should not be borne by the son. This disobedient child is my son. He has committed such g
“He has already cultivated a Demonic Body. So, killing him is not an option,” Yegor said each word deliberately, “James, you’ve educated your brothers to embrace broad-mindedness and accommodate all. Why do you forget this when confronted with your own son?”“Yeah,” Lady Herodias sighed lightly, “You’re the soul of the Solstice Alliance, a symbol of faith and divinity. Your reputation must not be tainted, let alone bear the stigma of killing your son. Otherwise, it’ll become a permanent blemish on you.”“Master, hand him over to me. I’ll teach him well,” Rebella said hastily.“We’ll help him as well,” Taran said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, let’s leave it at that.”“I agree.” Jurryt looked at James. “In fact, this kid should have been taught by King Marciais. After all, he’s under his sect. What’s he doing still hanging around in the Dark World?”“Let’s seal the Demonic Body if we can’t kill it,” Xezal spoke up.Everyone was surprised as soon as she said those words. Hetsema w
“The suppression of his skeleton will be entrusted to your Tirta Power.” James looked at Lady Herodias, his gaze filled with entreaty.James understood very well that only the Tirta Power could truly suppress the Demonic Body. After all, the powers of Tirta and Silver were still suppressing the various spirits of Morgott. Since they were going to destroy this rebellious son, they could not allow him the slightest chance to turn the tables. This was James’ intention, not some contrived attempt to win hearts.Lady Herodias understood without the need for words as she glanced at James. She collected Hetsema’s bones with a wave of her hand.“Why are you all still kneeling?” James looked around at everyone. “This was my fault. It has nothing to do with any of you. Consider it settled now.”“You once said brothers share life and death.” Truett raised his head to look at James. “Now, I want to add something. We share honor and disgrace.”“Share life and death, share honor and disgrace!”
When they heard James, everyone lifted their heads high and stood tall.“The Solstice Alliance is our temporary common banner,” James said word by word. “It encompasses not only the Jademora Empire of the Forladtt Land, Skynet, and the Iustus Sect, but also the current Tempestara, the Jercente Sect, the Bellerian Dynasty, and the Yggdrasil Sect.“To unify and command the five major sects of the empire, the position of Leader is crucial. Naturally, it must be held by someone with prestige, strength, and determination to bring everyone together and advance or retreat together.”At these words, everyone showed hopeful smiles simultaneously. When it came to prestige, strength, and determination, no one among them could surpass James. Even Yegor and Lady Herodias had to defer to him to some extent. However, what surprised everyone was that James looked towards Truett.“What does this mean?” Truett immediately sensed something amiss. “James, please don’t trick me. When it comes to presti
