“Alright.” James agreed. “Then let’s settle you all in Demon Dungeon. It’s close to the Yin’s Void, strategically sound for both offense and defense and with the support of Skynet.”At this, he pointed at Truett. “From now on, he’ll be your Leader, and you must all follow his orders.”Zenithal Roc Matron bowed to Truett. “I shall obey the orders of the Leader.”Truett was taken aback and hastily waved his hands. “Senior, you flatter me too much. You’re a friend of my father, and this...”“Establishing respect between superiors and subordinates is crucial for establishing authority. You’re the Leader, which is only natural,” Zenithal Roc Matron said solemnly and stood straight. “What about you, My Lord?”“I have my own matters to attend to.” James handed the Zertec Pearl to Zenithal Roc Matron. “I’m returning it to its rightful owner. I’ve fulfilled half of Mr. Biefren’s request. The other half depends on our joint efforts.”Zenithal Roc Matron’s hands trembled as she took the Zer
The atmosphere became more lively and joyous after James joined members of the Solstice Alliance at their banquet. However, things were different for those at the Pyramid Battlefield located on the fourth level of Forladtt Land. By performing the first step of the Terrastride Step, Noel and Winnie managed to inflict critical damage on all the spirits there and gained the upper hand. They stood beside Lyla. Both of them had conflicted looks on their faces. “Is it done?” Lyla suddenly asked. The siblings exchanged a glance and responded almost simultaneously. “Mhm.” Lyla was slightly surprised when she released her Zen. She never thought Noel and Winnie would achieve that much improvement after receiving some simple advice from James. The spirits found here had no consciousness. However, all of them possessed powers equivalent to that of Quasi Daelcon Rank cultivators. There was also an excessive amount of spirits earlier. Even Lyla might not be able to complete this re
James directed his gaze at Herodias and Yegor. “Before we go, donʼt you need to drop by home and make necessary arrangements in advance?” “There’s not much for us to do back there.” Yegor grinned. “Most importantly, have you gotten everything ready at the Genesis World?” “It’s all set.” James smiled mischievously. “As for Morgottʼs spirit, we’ll let him move freely in the Genesis World for now. He’s our surprise for Yehria.” All this while, James had Lesia monitor the movements of Morgottʼs spirit, which had gotten control over Xachary. Things progressed just as James and Lesia had predicted so far. Morgottʼs spirit made use of Xacharyʼs identity and joined the New Timaeus Sect. He needed to conduct closed-door meditation for a long time due to his severe injuries and reduced level of power. Soon afterward, James brought Yegor and Herodias to the Forladtt Landʼs fourth level through teleportation. “Mr. Yegor, remember the gift I’ve told you about?” James asked. Yegor laug
“He’ll remember everything, including his exes from his past life!” Herodias complained, “I donʼt like your gift, so Yegor canʼt like it either!” James was struck speechless. He was amused by how eccentric Herodias could be at times. While he was briefly distracted, Herodias cast a blast of Tirta Power at Yegor. With a loud boom, the blast of Tirta Power was deflected by a cloud of purple gas that appeared around Yegor. On the other hand, Yegor seemed completely unaffected. Boom! James and Herodias moved away just in time to avoid the deflected Tirta Power. “What… What just happened?” Herodias was caught off guard. “It seems like Mr. Yegor has entered the Ninth Xaeclon Rank.” James explained, “I can’t tell what kind of powers his past self has, though.” “That’s impossible.” Herodias frowned slightly. “That’s just a spirit with powers at the peak of Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Ninth Tribulation. “There’s no way it’ll boost him to the Ninth Xaeclon Rank.” James was equal
James had been listening intently. “So, the battle between cultivators of the Marciais Power and the Historial Power broke out here on the Forladtt Landʼs fourth level back then. “They wanted to showcase their skills and powers to cultivators in the Great Historial Land so that the latter could decide which of the powers is the middle vital energy?” “No.” Yegor chuckled. “As far as I am aware, people from both sides have tried to send ten or so superior cultivators to learn and train in the Great Historial Land. “However, those men initiated a war when each group tried to monopolize the entrance to the Great Historial Land for themselves.” James was rendered speechless by how absurd the reason was for those men to initiate war back then. Just then, James recalled something and asked, “Mr. Yegor, I heard a mysterious energy had fallen upon this place and sealed all the cultivators at war. “That was how the war was stopped. Is that true?” “Yes.” Yegor nodded. “It was an ove
Jamesʼ initial plan was to get to the very top of the pyramid and arrive at the entrance leading to the fifth level of the Forladtt Land. However, James stopped abruptly just as he was trying to exit the sixth floor of the Pyramid Battlefield. He could sense a mysterious, overwhelming restriction suppressing him. James could not manage to overcome the restriction even though he had the Ultimate Golden Body and powers of the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. Yegor and Herodias quickly noticed that James had fallen behind. They returned to his side. “What’s the matter?” Herodias asked. “I suppose it’s because my cultivation is not enough.” James remained in the same spot. “I guess not everyone can make it to the entrance of the Great Historial Land.” Yegor and Herodias understood the situation almost immediately. The couple had achieved the Ninth Xaeclon Rank, but James was only on the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. Yegor knitted his brows. “Is there no other way for us to help you get through here
James managed to keep up by performing the Terrastride Step and Dawnblaze Form. He unleashed the Marciais Power fully. The purplish-gold powers and Jamesʼ tricolored powers collided in the air nonstop. The force of those collisions destroyed nearby star clusters almost instantaneously. At the side, Yegor and Herodias frowned as they watched the battle. James was capable of fighting Seventh Xaeclon Rank cultivators even though he had only reached the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. However, the mysterious, dark figure who just appeared was holding up against Jamesʼ attacks fairly well. The couple could tell that James had met a strong opponent. Boom! As James and the mysterious person threw their fists at each other, the tricolored power and purplish-gold power radiated to the surrounding space. Herodias and Yegor quickly conjured a wall of light consisting of the Tirta Power before them. However, cracks formed over the wall as the powers of different colors washed over the structur
James clicked his tongue. “Why do you look down on the beings from the Ying World so much?” “Why, you ask?” The mysterious figure snorted. “They are simple-minded beings who are obsessed with the Marciais Power and fighting. “They foolishly tried to master the Marciais Power after receiving some of Yianniʼs knowledge. They simply can’t grow stronger. Yianni was an exceptional hero whose powers surpassed countless cultivators across different realms. “However, his disciples and followers were just unremarkable. Isnʼt that pathetic?” “What about your people?” James snickered. “Are they that much stronger than the Ying Worldʼs beings?” “Of course!” The figure snapped, “If it werenʼt because that strange power sealed us, the Historial Power would have become one of the Historialʼs top vital energies.” Upon hearing those words, James laughed scornfully. “Why are you laughing?” The figure shone brighter with the purplish-gold light as his anger rose. “I’ll tell you the truth.
