“However, he authorized me to meet with you, and you can bring up any conditions you have to me.”Upon hearing this, James stared directly into Xalvador’s eyes and then smirked devilishly.Xalvador could not help but feel nervous as he saw this unsettling smile.“Your Majesty, I’m speaking nothing but the truth. I have the soul sigil of Lord Goyo as evidence.”“No need to show it.” James pushed back the sigil Xalvador offered. “Except for Lord Goyo in person, neither you nor anyone else will be accepted.”Seeing James’ dominance, Xalvador’s expression fluctuated between red and white. He was like a cat on a hot tin roof, pacing back and forth in front of James. He was very anxious as if some unspeakable secrets could not be revealed. Meanwhile, James leaned against a huge rock, slowly pulled out a jar of Chaos Absinthe, and began drinking nonchalantly.After a while, Xalvador seemed to have made a certain decision and said to James, “Your Majesty, Lord Goyo’s faction is willing t
Xalvador slowly closed his eyes, struggling within himself. He understood that at this point, any attempt at concealment would be in vain and would only bring disgrace upon himself.James’ extraordinary mental acuity and keen intuition, as the lord of all living beings across myriad realms, were simply unparalleled. This sent shivers down his spine.Taking a deep breath, he finally spoke with difficulty. “I can take you to meet Lord Goyo...”“No.” James refused. “Let him come to me.”“He can’t come!” Xalvador suddenly snapped angrily. “He has fallen victim to a treacherous plot by Maria and is severely injured.”At this revelation, James could not help but furrow his brow. He wondered who could plot against someone of Lord Goyo’s cultivation base and strength.Thinking thus, he asked coldly, “Who is Maria?”Xalvador sighed lightly. “She is the chief executive director of Goyoan Temple, responsible for its daily affairs, and one of Lord Goyo’s most trusted confidants.”Hearing t
“She looked absolutely ravishing even in that state!” The gray-haired elderly cultivator chuckled slowly. “Let me have my way with her first once we subdue her, Dorvus. I’ve never seen another lady who is as captivating as Yehria and the Yin governor like her.” Dorvus grinned. “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Salim. I want the gorgeous lady as much as you do.” Salim Withal, the Supreme War Saint, furrowed his brows and said, “I’ll let you have Maria instead! I’m sure you’ll enjoy having a Double Cultivation with her.” “Maria!” Dorvus ran his tongue along his lips. “Sheʼll make a wonderful slave for Double Cultivation. However…” “Iʼll add one more thing to my offer.” Salim stared at Dorvus. “Iʼll let you take full credit once we capture Lord Goyo.” Dorvus widened his eyes and laughed heartily. “Alright! Itʼs a deal!” He stood up and called aloud, “Stop resisting, pretty lady! Weʼll spare you if you agree to surrender now!” Those remarks enraged Harper. She extended her arms an
“We can always rush forward and fight these men. And Iʼm not afraid of dying.” Yianni continued monotonously, “However, do we have what it takes to rescue Harper? “What do we do if we fail to rescue her and ruin Jamesʼ plan instead?” “Who cares about sticking to a plan in a situation like this?” Morgott snapped, “Can you bear to watch her die right in front of your eyes?” Yianni took a deep breath. “Alright, letʼs do it…” “Wait.” Lesia said, “You two will only sacrifice needlessly since youʼre no match for those guys. I should be the one doing the rescuing.” Just then, Harperʼs clear voice reverberated through the space. “Dorvus, Salim, and Maria! Donʼt get ahead of yourselves! Youʼre all dead meat once my sweetheart is here! “Iʼve braced myself to meet my end at any moment ever since weʼve decided to invade Forty-Ninth Heaven. Even if I die now, my fellow living beings will not give up fighting. “My sweetheart will lead the living beings and bring down all of you imposto
Dorvus and Salim came to their senses as well. They could hardly believe what they had just witnessed. Meanwhile, a small commotion erupted among the Alcide beings who were watching from the side. “How dare you hurt my woman! You must have a death wish, demon!” Salim flew into a rage. He transformed into a beam of light and darted in Mariaʼs direction. The purplish-gold light sword turned around and headed for the beam of light as well. Boom! Boom! Boom! Deafening noises echoed through the area as the purplish-gold light sword and the beam of light collided. To everyoneʼs surprise, they could see Salimʼs beam of light being destroyed one section after the other under the purplish-gold light swordʼs swift attacks. Boom! A violent blast of air was sent outward in all directions as the beam of lightʼs final section was shattered. The bodies of numerous divine beings and Marauder Warriors found nearby exploded as they could not withstand the overwhelming pressure. As fo
“Aargh!” Mariaʼs shrill and terrified screams somehow brought everyone to their senses. They could see her skeleton fall apart. Maria was still screaming hysterically after her head, the only good part left of her body, plopped onto the pile of bones on the ground. Everyone was paralyzed with fear at the sight before them. Maria was the chief commissioner at Goyoan Temple and Lord Goyoʼs close aide. She once represented Lord Goyo in exercising his authority across the different realms, but someone managed to put Maria in such a horrific state. Meanwhile, an ashen-faced Dorvus was shaking all over like a leaf in the wind. His legs threatened to give way at any moment. Behind him, the gods of the Four Seasons had prostrated themselves. They kept their heads low, trembling and sobbing quietly out of fear. Divine beings like them were not afraid of death since it meant they would either have to start over again or they would cease to exist completely. However, they feared end
“His Majesty… You mean Xanthakos, right?” James asked in a cold, raised voice, “I have a question, Mr. Hosentia.” Dorvus was drenched in cold sweat. James continued, “Which of us is the commander-in-chief here?” Dorvus flinched and bowed his head. “Youʼre the commander-in-chief, of course. We…” “There lies the problem, right?” James cut him off again. “In your opinion, how should I punish a subordinate who disobeyed my orders?” Dorvus bowed deeper. He hurriedly explained, “It was a misunderstanding, Commander! I had no idea His Majesty had planted his men in the Terythor Universe. “I only had our men attack this place since the Supreme War Saint and Maria contacted me. They helped us conquer the Terythor Universe.” “Ha!” James said monotonously, “Are you saying not only have you not done anything wrong, but youʼve also made a huge contribution to our mission?” “No! Of course not!” Dorvus was flustered. “It was all thanks to your idea to lure Xalvador away that we succee
The sight of how close the light sword was positioned next to his neck made Dorvusʼ blood run cold. He shouted anxiously, “Commander, I would never dare harm your messenger!” Dorvus pointed to Harper. “She… She didnʼt clarify what she was doing, and she didnʼt show us anything that could prove to us she was your messenger! “That was why I thought she chose to work with Xalvador and betrayed us.” A small frown creased Jamesʼ forehead. Meanwhile, Harper had rushed over and hissed at Dorvus, “What a load of crap, Hosentia! The group of you attacked every person you encountered since you got here. Did you even allow me the chance to explain myself before attacking me?” “What about just now?” Dorvus looked at her questioningly. “You were so set on killing yourself instead of explaining to us that you were his messenger…” “As Iʼve said, I know that my sweetheart wonʼt let you guys off if anything bad happens to me.” Harper cut him off. Dorvus retorted, “If you had the time to
