“Plus, it does not matter if they discover us. We have the person James cares about the most as a hostage,” Xathakos said with a sinister smile.Quintus smiled awkwardly and nodded.Xanthakos turned around with his hands behind his back and gazed into the void. “I am more worried about them. They should be here by now.”Quintus asked tentatively, “Who are you referring to? You have been mentioning them for a while.”Xanthakos narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling without saying a word.Shortly after, three black and white lights shot toward them at high speed, materializing into two men and one woman.The moment he saw the trio, Xanthakos was stunned. He hurriedly knelt, kowtowing in fear. “Your Holiness.”Startled by the trio’s overwhelming presence, Quintus also knelt warily.These two men and one woman were none other than Yefrenes Goveia, Quintinus Qrandell, and Amos Xiereb, three of the Caeloros Gods of Nothingness.Unlike Frona, they had traveled through the Xyrisia Gate b
Feeling their murderous aura, Xanthakos immediately kowtowed in fear.“Please spare my life. I did not hide it on purpose, but I felt that apart from James, the others were not important. Where James is, the Caeloros Supreme must be there. I did all this for your sake and do not have any other motives...”“Enough,” Yefrenes suddenly shouted impatiently.Her domineering voice stunned Xanthakos. Even Quintinus, who was about to take action, retracted his hand.Amos came up and whispered, “Yefrenes, although Taiyi and Yasmina are not as powerful as James, they are gods of the Haleth Realm and are also Frona’s staunch defenders.“Though we had billions of living beings to cover us to pass through the Xyrisia Gate, we only retained fifty percent of our strength from the Xanadu Realm.“We might be able to handle James together, but if Taiyi, Yasmina, and some other powerhouses from the Haleth Realm teamed up as well, I am afraid...”Quintinus snorted coldly, “What are you afraid of? H
“Let him go fight James. Once they’re both injured, we’ll follow up. It’s not too bad of a plan.”Quintinus and Amos exchanged glances and stopped simultaneously.Quintus suddenly asked, “Will Xanthakos tell James about your arrival?”Yefrenes looked back at him and said, “You seem to be smarter than Xanthakos.”Quintus laughed awkwardly, “I am not strong enough, so I can only…”Before he could finish, Yefrenes interrupted by shooting out a black and white energy ball.Yefrenes said deliberately, “Swallow it. This is a reward for you. With this, you won’t have to be servile anymore. When you meet Xanthakos, you won’t have to fear him anymore.”Quintus widened his eyes and swallowed the energy ball floating before him. A terrifying gray-black light burst from his body. He twisted and rolled in the void, screaming in pain.Countless phantom figures with bared fangs and claws emerged from his body, exploding in the air.Quintinus frowned and asked, “Why did you give him the Void
Pavilions and towers rose elegantly, surrounded by intricate rockeries and peculiar stones. The mountains and waters intertwined seamlessly, with mist blanketing the ground, creating an exquisite landscape that was both breathtaking and serene.James and his companions stood at the edge of a swirling mass of black and white energy. Despite the awe-inspiring scenery before them, none of them dared to take a single step forward.After entering the Wuia Palace, they encountered countless illusions, formations, prohibitions, and attacks in the first twenty halls. Even James, strong as he was, had failed to block some unexpected ambushes. As a result, Yianni, Harper, and Hankin were injured.Now that they had passed twenty halls, they had to be cautious in the face of the unknown.Taiyi retorted, “The Waitara Path is cunning. It seems that before he fled, he made comprehensive changes to the Wuia Palace to prevent us from coming back to seize the place.”Yasmina sneered, “Hmph! He can’
Yasmina said solemnly, “I also believe it is impossible. The Waitara Path is very scheming and does not trust anyone. He would not let anyone have leverage over him.”James silently recalled how the Waitara Path’s soul spirit resided within the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword. This led him to suspect that the Waitara Path might have concealed something within the other eight treasures as well—perhaps fragments of his soul or his Primordial Spirit. It was also probable that he deposited something valuable inside them.Nevertheless, the Nine Treasures of Nothingness were crucial to unlocking the forty-nine cauldrons. Securing them was imperative. Otherwise, their entire mission here would lose its significance.At first, James thought he could easily obtain the Path Designation Bead after seizing the Wuia Palace. However, it appeared he had to go through several obstacles before achieving his goal.James squinted and said, “Do not be deceived by the scenery. We might be led into an unknown d
With a flash of light, James opened his eyes and found himself inside a mysterious cave. He was surrounded by magical fruits that emitted dazzling lights, akin to little lanterns illuminating the area.He scanned his surroundings vigilantly and spotted a luminous figure sitting cross-legged deep within the cave. The figure’s face was obscured, but a potent aura emanated from him.“You must be exceptionally strong to have made it here,” a mighty voice resounded within the cave.“Who are you?” James frowned, fixing his gaze on the luminous figure.After a drawn-out sigh, the figure said leisurely, “It’s been too long. I can’t recall my name anymore. Just call me Dillon Zacharias.”“Dillon Zacharias?” James’ heart skipped a beat as the name rang a bell in his mind. He abruptly looked at the figure and asked, “Could you be one of the unorthodox factions’ gods imprisoned by the Waitara Path?”The figure chuckled. “Unorthodox faction? It’s a fitting name. To disciples of the Waitara Pa
Suddenly, a loud sound echoed as the Demon-Slayer Sword struck a cyclone, spreading toward Dillon. It was as if it had hit a solid rock and could no longer move forward.Seeing this, James clenched his fists.Since its merging, the Demon-Slayer Sword had always been unbeatable and formidable, killing all divine beings with a single slash.But now, facing Dillon, it was completely blocked. This indicated that his strength far surpassed that of Taiyi and Tapia.“Not bad,” Dillon smiled and said. “You managed to obtain the Demon-Slayer Sword, but from what I know, it was already taken by Goyo, who is Waitara’s disciple. Could it be that you caused Goyo’s fall too?”James ignored his words and pushed his palm forward. Another black-white-amethyst-gold light headed straight to the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword.In an instant, with the buzzing sound of the sword, the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword seemed to gain new power and struck at lightning speed again.With the sound of an explosion, the cyc
As soon as James said that, Dillon’s voice sounded from behind. “Let’s not fight anymore. We don’t have any grudges against each other, so why did you attack me? I’m exhausted. Let’s stop.”James turned around and pushed out his palm. There was a loud sound. Dillon, who had just appeared, was engulfed by the palm.However, the explosion James anticipated didn’t happen. On the contrary, after the wave dissipated, Dillon stood in the same position, unscathed.James’ eyes narrowed.“You lied.” Dillon pointed at James, disappointed. “You claim to be righteous, but you’re shameless.“You deceive people and then beat them up. Don’t you think you’re…”Before he could finish his words, he spat out a mouthful of blood.At this moment, James pushed out another palm and then withdrew it. He felt embarrassed.He realized it a bit too late and felt embarrassed.A while later, his face twitched. “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to be so obedient. Since we aren’t going to continue fighting, l
