With her hands on her back, Marci continued walking until she was face to face with Adina. As she blinked, two fine beams of mysterious light shot out of her eyes and entered Adinaʼs orbs. A mental battle was initiated instantly. Adina and Marci were both on a battlefield only the two of them could see. In a flash, the two of them performed all the signature skills they knew and blasted their powers at each other. Adina was not in her top condition because of her injuries. It showed during the battle as Marci gradually gained the upper hand. At one point, Marci pushed her palms forward and sent thousands of planets flying toward Adina. Those planets hit Adina simultaneously and threw her backward. In reality, Adina coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered backward. She lost her footing and fell onto the bottom of the steps leading up to the podium. She failed. Adina, the number one cultivator in the Great Historial Land, lost two battles that day. She never felt this
Marci continued, “Itʼs the Haurvatat Templeʼs fault. It is your men’s fault for becoming too greedy. “You and your men want to gain control over the entire Great Historial Land and me, a Chosen One, to fight against Zymurgy. “Have you not thought about it? Ever since the Ten Bloodshade Lords passed away, we had not produced any new Daeclon Mahayana Rank cultivators in the Great Historial Land. “So, who would you dispatch to fight against Zymurgy? “Are you planning to rely solely on the Waltraud Power and the Vital Energy Appraisal? You guys are too naive. “In the eyes of those whose powers are above yours, all of you are easy meat. They could always take away from you what Emperor Yarden left behind since you wouldnʼt be able to defend it.”After listening to Marciʼs words, Adina drew a long breath. “So, all of you have secretly sworn allegiance to those in Zymurgy? You were just waiting for an opportunity to seize control over the Great Historial Land?” “You’re smart.”
“What… What’s going on?” Lord Tzivya exclaimed frantically. She moved her hand quickly and conjured a purplish-green Holy Shield around her. The other cultivators hurriedly unleashed their powers as well to protect themselves against the powers of the decachrome lights, the Quasar Light, and the bell chimings. Unfortunately, their efforts were useless. Most of them grimaced and writhed in pain. Unlike the others, Marci who was also a Chosen One remained relatively calm. She stood in the same spot, unmoving. A purplish-gold light enveloped her body. However, anyone could see from her eyes that Marci was in a state of shock. Meanwhile, a faint human-like figure shining with decachrome lights slowly materialized in front of Adina. As the figure took on actual form, a handsome young man in a black robe could be seen standing on the podium facing the crowd. Marciʼs eyes widened. “The Ultimate Golden Body! You’re the living being who has been picked to be the Chosen One! Jame
Those two purplish-red figures collided forcefully in the air. The force generated from the impact hurled the unconscious Thea away. At that moment, a gigantic mass of gas making up a Tai Chi diagram materialized high up in the sky. As thunder crashed, a shadowy figure of black and white colors shot out of the huge mass of gas and charged toward Thea. However, a ball of mysterious purplish-gold energy appeared out of nowhere just then. It zoomed through the air and enveloped itself around Thea. Then, the purplish-gold energy disappeared, along with Thea. All of that happened in a matter of seconds. “Who was it? They dared to take away my captive!” The shadowy figure just arrived at the spot where Thea was last seen. It assumed the appearance of one of Tai Chiʼs clones and shouted furiously. Unfortunately, no one was there to answer her. She could not even find any hints of where Thea had been transported to. Meanwhile, James was watching all this from inside the Haurvatat
The cultivators from the six holy temples were scared out of their wits when they saw James move closer. All of them got on their knees and lowered their heads. Some of them unconsciously held their breath. Adina, who was still on the podium, was looking at James from behind with terrified eyes. She did not expect the man she had looked down upon earlier to possess such frightening powers. Even Marci, who was also a Chosen One, did not manage to defend herself from James’ attacks. Moreover, Marci had just achieved the Soma Daeclon Rank. Even Adina had lost to her. “Greetings to the Chosen One!” The first group of cultivators who greeted James respectfully was the men from the Yunara Temple. These men were so shaken after seeing the display of James’ powers earlier. They immediately placed their foreheads against the cold floor as a gesture of submission. The other cultivators quickly followed suit. “Greetings to the Chosen One!” all of them chanted in unison. However,
James furrowed his brows. Still, he gave the elderly gentleman permission a brief moment later. James wanted to gather more information about the Great Historial Land and the people in it. These men had the exact information he wanted. After receiving permission, Lord Toviyyah looked at Lord Tzivya. “Persephone, I have three questions for you. “Firstly, what is your relationship to Yehria? Why were you so supportive of her becoming Tai Chi? “Secondly, was the gathering at the Forty-Ninth Heaven a plot designed to bring down the Ten Holy Temples? Were you aware of it all along? “Thirdly, we were told to use the Haurvatat Templeʼs name as a cover in hunting down the Chosen One who was also a living being. “We even had to abduct his wife. Who exactly gave you these ideas or orders?” The other cultivators fixed Lord Tzivya with intense gazes as they listened to Lord Toviyyahʼs questions. It even seemed like they were ready to pounce at her. Meanwhile, Lord Tzivya appeared m
Jamesʼ gaze drifted across those cultivatorsʼ faces. He could tell these sly, calculative men would not share everything with him honestly. Thus, he activated the Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes and examined everyone’s soul. After a few minutes of arduous work, James finally understood what had happened in the Great Historial Land. It all started with Emperor Yardenʼs ten students being dissatisfied with how Zymurgy was treating the living beings. They found it to be a violation of Emperor Yardenʼs teachings. Therefore, they left Zymurgy and returned to the Great Historial Land. Here, each student established their own temple. Altogether, they were referred to as the Ten Holy Temples. As time went on, Emperor Yardenʼs ten students passed away one after another. However, not a single new Daeclon Mahayana Rank cultivator was produced among the members of the Ten Holy Temples. Eventually, the Haurvatat Templeʼs members, who acted as representatives, reached out to Zymurgyʼs beings and tri
The horrific scene caused the other temple’s powerhouses, who had initially been ready for battle, to kneel immediately. They were too scared to even breathe.After witnessing that James was far more ruthless and terrifying than Marci, they realized that offending him was not a good idea.In the current situation, they were at his mercy and completely powerless. James’ strength was absolute, and trying to reason with him was impossible.Now, James had become their deity, the judge of their fate. Even as powerful as they were, they had no authority to question his decisions.Zenda was overwhelmed by fear, and her beautiful eyes were filled with dread as she stood up.Although she did not side with the seven holy temples and shared a certain camaraderie with the Chosen One, they were not that close. She had never expected him to have grown so rapidly and alarmingly after entering the Great Historial Land.Eventually, the two towers absorbed all the energies stored within the seven
