Emperor Qadeer was shocked as he stared intently at the translucent token in Thea’s hand.“This is the Wyrmscale Token of the Wyrmscale Source. Are you truly the Young Lady of the Wyrmscale Source?”Thea clicked her tongue. “Shouldn’t I be a devil?”Emperor Qadeer was momentarily stunned. Then, his cheeks twitched in extreme embarrassment. He knew very well what the Wyrmscale Token represented. Perhaps in the past, he held sway over the Forty-Ninth Heaven and the Greater Realms, and a mere Wyrmscale Source did not count for much. However, with the appearance of Lord Goyo, his position overseeing the heavens and realms had become shaky.He and Lord Goyo were evenly matched in terms of current power. At this critical moment, the Wyrmscale Source became a significant factor in determining the outcome of their confrontation. Nevertheless, he never thought that the Yin governor, who had recently escaped from his Light of Mystery, would suddenly transform and become such a crucial factor
Two disciples of the Qadeer Sect stepped forward, grabbed the bloodied Yule, and immediately dragged him back into the temple.Only at this moment did Emperor Qadeer step forward, bowing deeply to Thea with a regretful expression on his face.“Young Lady, please forgive me. I have failed to govern my domain properly, allowing such a villain to emerge, nearly jeopardizing the relationship between our Qadeer Temple and the Wyrmscale Source. I am truly sorry. Please allow me to make amends here!”As he bowed, the powerhouses with killing intent who had surrounded Thea, all knelt in the void and kowtowed in apology. At the same time, the numerous Qadeer Sect disciples who lined up on both sides all knelt with a resounding thud, presenting a united and imposing front.Such an apology would be accepted by anyone with even a modicum of understanding of social norms, perhaps even taken aback by the favor shown, considering Emperor Qadeer was one of the Five Path Emperors of the Greater Rea
After a moment of silence, Thea slowly sat down in a lotus position. “Four conditions, not one less.”“Go on, please.” Emperor Qadeer made a polite gesture.“First,” Thea spoke each word deliberately, “From now on, you and your disciples must not interfere in any affairs below the Fortieth Heaven, including the Greater Realms.“Second, return Wesley and my Yin Golden Body.“Third, hand over the Taichu Pearl and the Taiyi Pearl to us.“Fourth, release Harper, Zemra, Chuba, and all the Greater Realms’ powerhouses who were once framed and imprisoned by your schemes in various major sects.”Upon hearing the four conditions, Emperor Qadeer could not help but furrow his brow. Thea’s demands were clearly intended to divide the Greater Realms, using the Fortieth Heaven as the boundary, and establish an independent world for herself and James.This division would strip the Greater Realms of any significance. Even if he won control of the Forty-Ninth Heaven in the battle against Lord Goyo
The atmosphere inside the Gate of Mystery was tense and solemn. Xanthakos’ Marauder Army, comprised of a hundred thousand men, was lined up in battle formation. They seemed ready to charge forward at any moment and tear their enemy into shreds. A special group of men stood in one line just before these soldiers. Starting from the center, the eighteen Emperors and Twelve God-Kings serving Xanthakos stood side by side facing the enemy. They each unleashed dozens of physical clones, which were possessed only by the Daeclon Mahayana Rank cultivators. Each clone emanated bright, colorful lights. The person standing at the very front and in charge of leading all these men was none other than the Qadeer Templeʼs young master, Youcef Maevik. However, Youcef sensed a tremendous amount of pressure on him as he came face to face with James, who sat on top of a sacred lotus. At the same time, he felt almost overcome by an impalpable sense of helplessness. Youcef was a fool obsessed
James raised his brows at the sight. On the other hand, Youcef swiftly turned around. He grabbed the elderly man by his collar and pulled him closer to his face. “Dorvus Hosentia, what is the meaning of this?” The white-haired elderly man flinched and explained, “Young Master, that demon has been disrespectful to you! You need not…” Slap! Before the elderly man could finish, Youcef slapped him across the face forcefully. “I am in the middle of a conversation with my opponent. Those who try to interrupt will be executed immediately!” Youcef swung his arm and cast a blow at the white-haired elderly man. It sent the man flying away. Behind Youcef, the God-Kings and Emperors stared at what was happening with rounded eyes. Even James had a slight frown on his forehead. “James.” Youcef looked at him and took a deep breath. “You donʼt have to mind the others. You and I will have a one-on-one battle. The winner will be decided fairly and squarely. “No matter who it is, an
A small commotion erupted as soon as James said that. The Twelve God-Kings and eighteen Emperors were especially irked. They seemed eager to challenge James right away. Youcef furrowed his brows. “James, I asked for a fair battle out of respect for you. Are you trying to look down on me now?” “Hahaha!” Hankin laughed heartily and signaled for Youcef to stop. “As expected of the sole Chosen One produced from the living beings! You are extremely confident and straightforward. “However, the Gate of Mystery is the source and origin of nature, the basis that forms all worlds. “If a battle were to break out here, it would cause mass destruction and countless deaths across the different worlds. There would be an apocalypse.” A warm smile was plastered across Hankinʼs face. “You are the lord of all living beings, James. Do you really wish to see something like that happen?” Just as James was about to open his mouth, Lesia, Yianni, and Morgott came out of the Nothingness Formation
Dorvus and several Emperors strode toward Youcef the next instant. However, before they could reach him, Youcef directed a beam of colorful light at those men and sent them flying away. “Enough!” Youcefʼs voice reverberated through the space. Everyone halted at that moment. “I am the chief commander of todayʼs operations.” Youcef bellowed, “All of you are to follow my commands. As I’ve mentioned, no one is allowed to interfere in the battle between me and James Caden. “Those who do will be executed immediately!” Youcef raised his hand and grabbed at the air. In the distance, Dorvus was simultaneously lifted in the air by a mysterious energy. “You! You challenged my authority over and over again. Die!” He cast a lethal blast in Dorvusʼ direction, but a ball of purple light came quickly from his left just then. It snatched Dorvus away and moved out of the trajectory of Youcefʼs attack. Youcef stared at Hankin, who stood to his left, with bulging eyes. He never imagined hi
With his hands on his back, Hankin cast a sidelong glance at James. Then, he shook his head disappointedly. “Demon, didnʼt you claim to be a Chosen One and the lord of all living beings?” Dorvus laughed contemptuously. “Arenʼt you the first person to achieve the Three Treasures Integration? Is this all you’ve got?“The sword attack you generated just now looked flashy and intimidating at first glance. “Who knew its powers would be so underwhelming! Hahaha! My stomach hurts from all this laughing!” The God-Kings and Emperors near him pointed at James and laughed mockingly as well. Morgott barked with indignation, “You bastards! James exterminated hundreds of your men who had powers equivalent to Soma Daeclon Rank cultivators. Yet, you’re laughing at us?” “Morgott, did being sealed away for too long make you dumb?” Dorvus looked with scorn at Morgott. “He killed hundreds of our Marauder Warriors with one blow. Do you think that number indicates he is strong? “He only man
