“Master, it would be lovely if you could share some of your precious liquor collection with us.” James grinned. “It won’t be as entertaining if I can’t enjoy the show with some liquor.” Yianni glanced over his shoulder at James and smiled wryly. Then, he lifted his hand and conjured dozens of bottles of Chaos Absinthe on the table. Lesia and Morgott exchanged a glance. Then, each of them strode forward and stopped on either side next to James. “This is it, James?” Morgott pouted. “Arenʼt you going too easy on these hypocrites?” “This is just the beginning.” James gulped the Chaos Absinthe. “With their level of powers, they can stay in the Historial Helmnor Formation for a few entrapochs and be just fine.” Lesia frowned. “You should just do it now if you want to get rid of those men for good, Master. It won’t do us any good to drag it out for that long.” James beamed at her. “Are you worried that the soul contract between me and Xanthakos will expire during that time?
James sneered, “I need a favor from you. If you get it done, I promise to fight you with all my strength and show no mercy after we leave the Gate of Mystery.Youcef’s eyes lit up with expectation, but his face darkened in the next second. “With my current strength, am I even worthy of being your opponent?”James squinted and asked, “Yes or no?”Under his sharp gaze, Youcef felt pressured.Yianni sighed and said, “James rose from nothing to someone who can dominate the Greater Realms and suppress countless powerhouses. You were born in the Forty-Ninth Heaven and have access to abundant resources. Do you have no confidence?“If so, I truly pity James for having an opponent like you.”Hearing Yianni’s words, Youcef slowly clenched his fists and regained his fighting spirit. He stared at James and asked, “What do you want from me?”James answered, “I’ll send you out of the Gate of Mystery, but I need you to deliver a letter to your father.”After speaking, a shining scroll appeare
Youcef came to a sudden realization. Considering his father’s cruelty, it was likely Hankin, who had failed to complete his task, would face a grim fate.However, Hankin stood a chance of survival if he stayed in the Gate of Mystery with James. He abruptly kowtowed and climbed back to his feet.James unleashed a Sword Light toward Youcef without hesitation, instantly sending Youcef out of the Gate of Mystery.Lesia, Morgott, and Yianni then turned toward James, their eyes reflecting admiration and respect.While they never questioned James’ strength and wisdom, his generosity and tolerance for others truly impressed and humbled them.At that moment, James waved his hand. The two black dragons entangling Hakins drew him into the Nothingness Formation.With a loud thud, Hankin crashed onto the massive lotus. As the black dragons soared into the void with roars, he gasped for air and scoffed bitterly. “Congratulations, James. You’ve grown strong enough to dominate the Greater Realms
Hankin, Lesia, and James exchanged glances before cautiously stepping forward.Lesia questioned, “Will you die as a slave of the Qadeer Sect or as Emperor Benevolence of the Greater Realms?”Hankin’s face darkened as he asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re the Soremsia of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness’ leader, Frona, correct?Intrigued, Lesia put her hands behind her back and replied, “You can call me Lesia. Am I also considered a demon to you?”Hankin was at a loss for words, and his face twitched with embarrassment. At that moment, he caught a glimpse of James calmly sitting down while enjoying some Chaos Absinthe and instantly felt a shiver down his spine. James was clearly in charge of the current situation. However, he remained silent and allowed a subordinate to humiliate Hankin and change his mind about dying.Hankin recognized that James was an extraordinary entity, excelling in cultivation, strength, wisdom, and strategies. If he were devoted to cultivation, he w
Hankin had personally witnessed what Goyo and Qadeer had done in the past. It was very clear to him what they were both fighting for.However, he had no choice but to submit to them. Lesia’s words had hurt his pride, and his deep-seated ambitions gradually burst out. Lesia looked at him and said, “You’re Emperor Benevolence, one of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness. In terms of status, you’re only second to the Waitara Path.“Yet now, you’re a mere follower of the Waitara Path, and even for this adherent, you’re prepared to sacrifice your life out of loyalty. How dare you pass judgment on whether James’ character?”As if his true nature had been laid bare, Hankin quivered all over, his complexion draining of color. At that moment, his former arrogance had completely vanished."I understand," Lesia remarked, pacing around Hankin with a smile. "You're struggling amidst the intrigues and power struggles of the Haleth Realm. You gradually lost your way and seek oblivion as an esc
Hankin bellowed, “No, I never forgot! I just didn’t want to witness any more suffering, bloodbaths, and catastrophes!”Lesia snorted, “You’re finally being honest.” After the remark, she turned to James and said, “It’s your turn, Master!”James looked at Hankin, who had a pained expression, then carefully placed his wine jar down. “You already scolded him to tears, so forget it. However, if he knew the Greater Realms’ living beings were protected by Spiritual Providence, he might not be so stubborn.”Before Lesia could respond, Hankin abruptly turned to James and asked, “What did you say? Spiritual Providence? The Greater Realms’ living beings have produced Spiritual Providence?”Lesia rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah. Do you think my master would be really that heartless? He wouldn’t just subject the Greater Realms’ living beings to suffering while he challenges Zymurgy’s supreme beings.”Hankin leaped to his feet and stared at James with excitement. “So, even if you’re fighting
Upon hearing the conversation, Xanthakos quickly stashed away the shining scroll, and his face contorted with rage. “What are you bickering about?”Silence fell outside.Meanwhile, Youcef ignored the commotion and continued to stare at his father.Suddenly, Thea's arrogant voice came from outside, “Xanthakos! Is this how your sect treats guests? Then shall I just pack up and leave?”Hearing this, Xanthakos became anxious. With the wave of his hand, he opened a door in the protective formation.Thea walked in gracefully.Xanthakos was an experienced senior who had gone through a lot in the past. However, upon seeing Thea, his face flashed with helplessness. He stood up and quickly greeted her as if welcoming a distinguished guest. “I apologize for not welcoming you sooner. I hope—”Thea interrupted, “I won’t forgive you. You’re clearly being disrespectful, and don’t take the Wyrmscale Source seriously.”Xanthakos was infuriated by her words. Ever since Thea had entered the Qadee
Thea asked indignantly, “Who are you trying to scare? Why won’t you let us go to the Wuia Palace? I’m starting to question your sincerity to work with me.”Emperor Xanthakos’ expression shifted dramatically. He said hurriedly, “The Wuia Palace is unlike Xanthakos Temple. It’s riddled with countless formations and is heavily guarded by powerful figures. It’s the supreme symbol of the Greater Realms.“If you go there and cause trouble, it won’t just be a matter of escaping. You’ll completely alert the enemy, and the Waitara Path’s followers will come after you, especially Lord Goyo.”Xanthakos moved closer to Thea and whispered, “If you get into trouble, should my sect save you or not? If we don’t, the Divine Marius and James won’t forgive us. However, we’re not ready for a confrontation as it will ruin our grand plans.”Thea narrowed her eyes slightly, remaining silent. She understood that the ‘grand plan’ Xanthakos referred to was not about preventing the return of the Waitara Pat
