James took the Marauder Token and narrowed his eyes. Then, he bellowed, “The Marauder Armyʼs commander, Dorvus Hosentia, disobeyed his superiorʼs orders! He will receive a punishment of thirty thousand whips right away!” James lightly waved the Marauder Token in his hand. Several Marauder Warriors came forward and caught Dorvus by the arms. They started dragging him away. Dorvus cried frantically, “Commander! I was wrong, Commander! “You canʼt do this! Weʼve just conquered the Terythor Universe, and you need all the help you can get. You canʼt…” James simply signaled to the Marauder Warriors to take Dorvus away. “Harper.” James turned his gaze toward her. “Youʼll monitor the execution of Dorvusʼ punishment.” Harper paused briefly before she pouted and grumbled, “Are you punishing him for what he did to me earlier?” James shrugged. “So, are you going or not?” “Of course I am!” Harperʼs chin rose in a proud gesture. “Whatʼs more, Iʼm going to do the whipping myself! Tha
Meanwhile, Xalvador was waiting at a valley that was covered in a thick mist located in the far north of the Terythor Universe. The man seemed anxious as he kept checking outside for something or someone to show up. A handsome man in a white robe walked up to him from behind. “Do you honestly think heʼll come, Xalvador?” “Of course.” Xalvador replied firmly, “The problem is how long will it take for him to take care of things in the Terythor Universe. “Both Maria and Salim are top-rank cultivators. They also have Dorvus Hosentia and the Marauder Army on their side. Itʼs too risky for him to go alone…” “So, youʼre not entirely sure either?” The handsome man said in a slightly mocking tone, “I just donʼt get it. Why do Lord Goyo and you have such high expectations for a mere living being?”Xalvador turned around and studied the manʼs face. “Fausto, do you know anything about him? Have you heard of the amazing stories surrounding him?” The handsome man, Fausto Florres, had a
At that very moment, a beam of purplish-gold light landed behind Fausto, and a person stepped out from it. It was a familiar face. Xalvador yelped. His eyes widened. Beside him, Yvelle covered her mouth in shock. “Whatʼs the matter with you two?” Fausto smirked. “Was I wrong? That unsophisticated James Caden claimed to be the Mortal Emperor and the first person to complete the Three Treasures Integration. “What a joke! A nobody like him dreams of claiming a spot in the Forty-Ninth Heaven!” “If you ask me…” Fausto continued frigidly, “Once he shows up here, we should seize him. Then, we could use him to make the Yin governor surrender herself and the Wyrmscale Source. “Once we get back the north, we can work on eliminating all our enemies… Huh?” Fausto stopped abruptly as he could sense a murderous aura coming from behind him. He immediately glanced over his shoulder and found a handsome man in a black robe standing silently behind him. Fausto did not pick up on the ma
Fausto choked and struggled against Jamesʼ iron grip. However, he soon noticed his powers were somehow completely suppressed by a strange energy. He could not even muster much strength in his body. The only thing Fausto could do was to kick his feet forcefully to try and break free. Yvelle was taken aback by the sight before her. As one of Lord Goyoʼs most loyal disciples, Fausto was deemed one of the top ten cultivators in Lord Goyoʼs faction. He could even take on the Nine Path Kings and Seven War Saints on his own. However, he was completely powerless against James. It also showed how powerful James was. On the other hand, Xalvador swiftly went up to James and begged for his mercy. “Divine Emperor, please have mercy! That man has hastily offended you. I will offer an apology on his behalf. “Can you forgive him in the spirit of goodwill? Heʼs one of the five disciples Lord Goyo has taken in as students. Please forgive his ignorance and rashness. “You… You see. We in
Setting aside his intimidating titles as the Chosen Son, the Mortal Emperor, and the Great Historial Land’s Lord, his mere strength as the first in the Greater Realms to integrate the Three Treasures was enough to dominate the Forty-Ninth Heaven. Even the venerable Emperor Qadeer had to lower his stature to ally with him, and Lord Goyo held him in the highest esteem.However, these Alcide beings were arrogant and disrespectful because of their status as Goyo’s disciples. Given James’ personality, he would not allow such presumptuous attitudes.Suddenly, a powerful voice came from the valley behind.“Where are your manners, Fausto, Pierrette? These are master’s guests!”A bright blue Sword Light shot out and instantly appeared beside Xalvador, then transformed into a middle-aged man in a white robe.After he appeared, he immediately bowed and said, “Sir Xalvador.”Xaldavor took a deep breath and said helplessly, “You’re here, Yavrin Fenwick. Please help resolve the conflict for us
James said lightly, “I’m just a lowly mortal. Since you two noble Alcide beings have spoken, I can’t possibly refuse, right?”As soon as these words came out, Xalvador and Yavrin instantly fell to their knees. If James were to call himself lowly, then nobody would dare to call themselves noble.Seeing the two so afraid, James stopped teasing them. After all, there were more important things to deal with. He loosened his grip on Fausto. With a loud thud, Fausto fell to the ground, causing a deep pit. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.The Anonymous Gas trapping Pierrette also dispersed but also shattered the purple Sword Lights.As the shockwaves spread, she kept coughing up blood and was swept away.Witnessing the horrifying scene, Xalvador and Yavrin, who were kneeling on the ground, were so terrified that they did not even dare to breathe.James waved his hand and said, “Alright. I’ve let them go. You can deal with them. I’ll just wait for the results.”After saying th
Yavrin took a deep breath and said, “I have no idea what punishment will suffice. You two should seek forgiveness before Master and the Chosen One. Perhaps he will spare you two out of respect for Lord Goyo.”After speaking, he cast a glance at Xalvador and turned to walk into the valley.Fausto and Pierrette, who had been so arrogant earlier, fell to the ground. Their faces were filled with horror and anxiousness.Inside the valley, James stood before a mass of black and white gas. Though he had not intended to stop, he was halted by four women dressed in white robes and veils.Seeing their fierce, enemy-like demeanor, James felt both amused and irritated. ‘Damn it. I was invited here, but keep getting blocked. It’s as if I’m here to seek an attendance with the emperor. It’s so annoying. They really think I’m weak because I don’t show off my strength.’The four masked women were ready to engage in battle, their lightsabers gleaming menacingly.Just then, two beams of purple-gold
James and the four women stared at each other as if it was a competition.Suddenly, James smiled. The next moment, a loud rumbling sound broke out around the women.Then, the four masked women trembled, vomited blood, and fell to the ground. They turned into red, blue, purple, and gold gas, then rose into the void.Goyo immediately sensed things were going in a bad direction, and hurriedly shouted, “Qiora, Hundar, Taowen, Zephyra! Hold it!”The four gases ascended into the void and the bone-chilling roars of ferocious beasts resounded.The red gas gathered into a colossal fiery beast resembling a tiger, yet adorned with enormous wings.Simultaneously, the blue gas materialized into a massive, hairy sphere devoid of eyes, nose, hands, or feet, emitting an eerie, unsettling hiss.Meanwhile, the purple gas transformed into a monstrous entity bearing both a human face and a beastly visage, adorned with long hair, tiger-like claws, a swine's mouth, and tough ox horns. Lastly, the g
