As James invoked the power of the towers, they expanded rapidly and cast a formidable divine light to spread through the Forbidden Bloodshade. Within moments, Marci was instantly knocked down.Boom! Boom!With two loud explosions, the towers surged forth and pinned Marci to the ground, instantly immobilizing him.“James, Forty-nine! You bastard! Aren’t we acquaintances? You can’t do this to me!” screamed Marci. Faced with Marci’s howls, James calmly descended to the ground and said, “I’m curious to see the face hidden beneath your black veil.”With a swift gesture, James summoned a burst of ten-colored holy light. It sliced through the air and delicately lifted the veil from Marci’s face.As the veil fluttered away, James stared at a beautiful face that looked unexpectedly familiar.“You…Quincy?”James was caught in a swirl of disbelief and confusion. Marci spat back defensively, “My name is Marci. Kill me or obliterate my soul, do as you wish. But don’t insult me.”James w
James’ gaze filled with regret as he looked at her. “I’m certain now you’re not Quincy. She isn’t as foolish or absurd as you.”With the wave of a hand, the ten-colored light whisked Marci into the void. Suddenly, her black robe was shredded, leaving her exposed. Marci shouted in a panic, “You! You pervert!”“Go on, keep yelling.” James casually pulled out a jar of Chaos Absinthe and took a sip.Then, with a malicious grin, James said, “The more you resist, the more it pleases me. At worst, I'll hand you over to some guys from the Ten Holy Temples Palaces to care for you, Chosen One.”Marci turned pale and cried out, “Don’t you want to know where your wife is? You want to find her other half, right? I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!”“That won’t be necessary. I’ve already searched your soul. These matters are no longer a secret to me.” James shook his head.Marci stuttered, “You…”James raised his jar and said, “Stay there. I’ll have two of my friends take care of you.”
James said calmly, “She’s a valuable asset. If we use her correctly, it will save us a lot of trouble.”Lesia looked at James and nodded in agreement. ‘Master is becoming more cunning and devious,’ she thought.James's greatest concern was not fighting Yehria. Instead, he was worried about his wife, who was held captive, as well as Light Thea and Abelard.With these distractions, James could not fully commit his strength to battle Yehria. His chances of victory would diminish significantly unless he could forsake Light Thea and Abelard’s safety. However, he simply could not bring himself to be so ruthless.Lesia understood the circumstances. She smiled and offered, “Shall I take over?”Before James could respond, Lesia transformed into a burst of light and darted at Marci.Seconds later, Marci, who was subjected to Hemera and Fennec’s attacks, found her agony intensified when Lesia joined them.James trusted Lesia and had no doubts about her methods. Just as he was about to fi
Leuko rejoiced, “I’m back to life too! You’re amazing, Chosen One!”James looked at them and explained, “I'll cut to the chase. From now on, you two are to remain in Great Historial Land, taking command of the three holy temples. Your focus will be on fusing powers and appraising energies. Given that you’re both born from essence and have undergone the cycle of life and death, you should understand your duties well.”Stephen opened his mouth, attempting to reply to James. However, before he could get a word out, Leuko had rushed to his side and affectionately linked arms with him.Leuko vowed, “Don’t worry, Master! We’ll live up to your expectations.”Stephen struggled from Leuko’s grasp and said, “Master? I’m his disciple, so why are you calling him master too?”Leuko retorted, “Isn’t your master also mine? We’re already a couple and even died together once. Are you trying to back out now?”Caught off guard by her words, Stephen turned to James with a pleading expression. “Maste
Lesia had strategically arranged tasks for the divine temple’s powerhouses.The Zazen Temple, Yarrowvale Temple, and Xephyr Temple were retained. Zenda was in charge of leading the powerhouses at the Xurxo Daeclon Rank, which was tasked with safeguarding the Forladtt Land.Meanwhile, powerhouses at the Yitro Daeclon Rank were sent out of the Great Historial Land and Forladtt Land. Toviyyah from the Toviyyah Temple took charge in the Xyndaros Genesis World. Zolten from the Zazen Temple was stationed in the Timbuktu Genesis World. Ysanne from the Dynastia Temple was appointed to guard the Dark World’s entrance.These three powerhouses, scattered in the east, center, and west, protected the Sky Bridge, providing nearly impenetrable defenses.Quintia from the Yarrowvale Temple and Huard from the Xephyr Temple led four other powerhouses at the Yitro Daeclon Rank to the Sky Bridge, ready to assist wherever needed.On the other hand, Lesia ordered Adina of the Haurvatat Temple to ser
In a mysterious realm with a purple-red glow, a woman with an enticing figure and stunning looks was seated cross-legged on a vast lotus. Her eyes were tightly shut, and a sinister purple-red aura enveloped her. She was breathtakingly beautiful but also emitted an ominous aura.Numerous blue spirits swirled around her, bearing fangs and claws at her. The spectacle was terrifying.Suddenly, a vibrant purple-pink lotus materialized behind her. Countless spectral hands immediately materialized and devoured the surrounding spirits.Shortly after, a brilliant purple-red radiance erupted from the woman’s body, causing tremors to spread throughout the area.After what seemed like an eternity, the woman opened her eyes, and a purple-red glow shot out.At that moment, a sinister laugh echoed through the void.“What a surprise. Although only half of your powers are left, you still possess such great comprehension skills. It seems there’s still hope for Hokuwn.”Thea slowly lifted her head
Thea had minimal memory of the powerhouses within the Tai Chi Grand Temple, but the three she recognized were ranked amongst the top ten in Zymurgy. They were powerful supreme beings at the Soma Daeclon Rank.Her memories of them were paused many years ago. After such a long time, they must have also improved significantly and were much stronger than ordinary beings at the Soma Daeclon Rank.Additionally, Yehria was also a powerhouse at the Soma Daeclon Rank. In total, they had four at the Soma Daeclon Rank.Meanwhile, the other supreme beings were at the Yitro and Xurxo Daeclon Rank. If James were to recklessly make his way to the Thirty-Third Heaven, he might fall into danger, and escaping would become incredibly difficult. Thea asked, “Where’s Yehria? What happened to her?”Harlan responded calmly, “Who knows? I can’t detect her presence within the Thirty-Third Heaven.”Thea quickly rose to her feet and said, “Something is fishy. She handed over control to these supreme being
After hearing Harlan's comments, Thea lifted her head and took a deep breath.“I don’t care about being labeled a demon. However, I’m worried about James’ future. If I were to seize control of Hokuwn, he’d forsake his chance to become the Supreme Path.”Harlan burst into laughter.Thea scowled. “Why are you laughing? Do you find this amusing?”Harlon replied,” Indeed. It’s pretty amusing to me. You’re the Yin governor, renowned for being wise. Yet, you’re being foolish right now.”“The position as Supreme Path is a mere title. If one possesses great strength, why bother with a superficial position?“If being the Supreme Path gave one complete control over the Greater Realms, how did the previous Supreme Path perish without a trace?“To be honest, unless you can completely regulate the Three Treasures and Five Spirits, becoming the Supreme Path will still not grant you immortality or invincibility.” Thea remained silent, offering no counterargument.She was already aware of eve
