“What… What’s going on?” Lord Tzivya exclaimed frantically. She moved her hand quickly and conjured a purplish-green Holy Shield around her. The other cultivators hurriedly unleashed their powers as well to protect themselves against the powers of the decachrome lights, the Quasar Light, and the bell chimings. Unfortunately, their efforts were useless. Most of them grimaced and writhed in pain. Unlike the others, Marci who was also a Chosen One remained relatively calm. She stood in the same spot, unmoving. A purplish-gold light enveloped her body. However, anyone could see from her eyes that Marci was in a state of shock. Meanwhile, a faint human-like figure shining with decachrome lights slowly materialized in front of Adina. As the figure took on actual form, a handsome young man in a black robe could be seen standing on the podium facing the crowd. Marciʼs eyes widened. “The Ultimate Golden Body! You’re the living being who has been picked to be the Chosen One! Jame
Those two purplish-red figures collided forcefully in the air. The force generated from the impact hurled the unconscious Thea away. At that moment, a gigantic mass of gas making up a Tai Chi diagram materialized high up in the sky. As thunder crashed, a shadowy figure of black and white colors shot out of the huge mass of gas and charged toward Thea. However, a ball of mysterious purplish-gold energy appeared out of nowhere just then. It zoomed through the air and enveloped itself around Thea. Then, the purplish-gold energy disappeared, along with Thea. All of that happened in a matter of seconds. “Who was it? They dared to take away my captive!” The shadowy figure just arrived at the spot where Thea was last seen. It assumed the appearance of one of Tai Chiʼs clones and shouted furiously. Unfortunately, no one was there to answer her. She could not even find any hints of where Thea had been transported to. Meanwhile, James was watching all this from inside the Haurvatat
The cultivators from the six holy temples were scared out of their wits when they saw James move closer. All of them got on their knees and lowered their heads. Some of them unconsciously held their breath. Adina, who was still on the podium, was looking at James from behind with terrified eyes. She did not expect the man she had looked down upon earlier to possess such frightening powers. Even Marci, who was also a Chosen One, did not manage to defend herself from James’ attacks. Moreover, Marci had just achieved the Soma Daeclon Rank. Even Adina had lost to her. “Greetings to the Chosen One!” The first group of cultivators who greeted James respectfully was the men from the Yunara Temple. These men were so shaken after seeing the display of James’ powers earlier. They immediately placed their foreheads against the cold floor as a gesture of submission. The other cultivators quickly followed suit. “Greetings to the Chosen One!” all of them chanted in unison. However,
James furrowed his brows. Still, he gave the elderly gentleman permission a brief moment later. James wanted to gather more information about the Great Historial Land and the people in it. These men had the exact information he wanted. After receiving permission, Lord Toviyyah looked at Lord Tzivya. “Persephone, I have three questions for you. “Firstly, what is your relationship to Yehria? Why were you so supportive of her becoming Tai Chi? “Secondly, was the gathering at the Forty-Ninth Heaven a plot designed to bring down the Ten Holy Temples? Were you aware of it all along? “Thirdly, we were told to use the Haurvatat Templeʼs name as a cover in hunting down the Chosen One who was also a living being. “We even had to abduct his wife. Who exactly gave you these ideas or orders?” The other cultivators fixed Lord Tzivya with intense gazes as they listened to Lord Toviyyahʼs questions. It even seemed like they were ready to pounce at her. Meanwhile, Lord Tzivya appeared m
Jamesʼ gaze drifted across those cultivatorsʼ faces. He could tell these sly, calculative men would not share everything with him honestly. Thus, he activated the Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes and examined everyone’s soul. After a few minutes of arduous work, James finally understood what had happened in the Great Historial Land. It all started with Emperor Yardenʼs ten students being dissatisfied with how Zymurgy was treating the living beings. They found it to be a violation of Emperor Yardenʼs teachings. Therefore, they left Zymurgy and returned to the Great Historial Land. Here, each student established their own temple. Altogether, they were referred to as the Ten Holy Temples. As time went on, Emperor Yardenʼs ten students passed away one after another. However, not a single new Daeclon Mahayana Rank cultivator was produced among the members of the Ten Holy Temples. Eventually, the Haurvatat Templeʼs members, who acted as representatives, reached out to Zymurgyʼs beings and tri
The horrific scene caused the other temple’s powerhouses, who had initially been ready for battle, to kneel immediately. They were too scared to even breathe.After witnessing that James was far more ruthless and terrifying than Marci, they realized that offending him was not a good idea.In the current situation, they were at his mercy and completely powerless. James’ strength was absolute, and trying to reason with him was impossible.Now, James had become their deity, the judge of their fate. Even as powerful as they were, they had no authority to question his decisions.Zenda was overwhelmed by fear, and her beautiful eyes were filled with dread as she stood up.Although she did not side with the seven holy temples and shared a certain camaraderie with the Chosen One, they were not that close. She had never expected him to have grown so rapidly and alarmingly after entering the Great Historial Land.Eventually, the two towers absorbed all the energies stored within the seven
Adina exclaimed, “Fools, that’s Emperor Yarden’s Bloodshade Token. Whoever bears it becomes the master of the Great Historial Land and wields Emperor Yarden’s power. He has complete authority to determine the Ten Holy Temple’s fate.”The powerhouses in the palace were utterly dismayed by the revelation. Nobody expected a mere mortal being to have received Emperor Yarden’s legacy, gained his Bloodshade Token, and become the ruler of the Great Historial Land.Even though they were leaders of the Ten Holy Temples, the Bloodshade Token held great significance in the Great Historial Land, which compelled them to submit to whoever possessed it.Purple light rays streaked through the void, gathering in front of James’ Ultimate Golden Body to form ten figures. The men and women that appeared instantly knelt before James. “I’m Quintia Yarwood from Yarrowvale Temple, Grandmaster.”“I’m Hugard Xenon from Xephyr Temple, Grandmaster.”James looked at the man and woman, as well as the grou
James announced, “Following my master’s wishes, I hereby assume control of the Great Historial Land and declare myself the new ruler. You should change the way you address me.”Adina abruptly raised her head in shock but quickly averted her gaze to the ground once again. Then, she proclaimed, “Of course, my lord.”Encouraged by her example, the other temple leaders followed suit and echoed her words.James responded calmly, “Good. Since I’m the Great Historial Land’s ruler, I must fulfill my master’s wishes. Tell me, which of you here are born from energy?”The powerhouses were caught off guard by James’ question. The assembled powerhouses exchanged bewildered looks, but nobody stepped forward to answer him. “Nobody?” James pressed, his tone sharp.Zenda quickly straightened up and answered, “We’re descendants of beings born from energy. However, we, ourselves, aren’t.”James snorted, “Is that so? That means you bunch were also birthed naturally?”The powerhouses exchanged unea
