On a mysterious mountaintop veiled in mist, Gladwin sat cross-legged, his eyes lightly shut, emanating an air of solemnity. Before him stood a towering figure, an elderly man adorned in a pristine white robe, with snow-white hair and a face that belied his age. The elderly man was none other than the Timaeus Sect and Righteous Alliance’s Leader, Xachary. Xachary was seething with anger. The sudden, unprovoked onslaught by the New Alliance had thrown the Righteous Alliance into disarray, causing chaos, panic, and substantial losses. At the same time, his top general, Hetsema, had gone missing and his fate was uncertain. Moreover, Gladwin, who commanded dozens of forces, refused to lend assistance.As the leader of the Timaeus Sect and Righteous Alliance, Xachary had issued numerous orders. However, Gladwin ignored them. Faced with his defiance, Xachary came to personally question him.Xachary said with gritted teeth, “I've spoken my piece, Gladwin. If even our foundation is unstabl
“It’s time I show you what true strength looks like!” Xachary’s face darkened.Suddenly, a terrifying purplish-red light erupted from Xachary’s body, brimming with malevolent energy, and instantly illuminated the surroundings.Gladwin was caught off guard and was immediately trapped by a mysterious force. His expression shifted abruptly as he shouted, “You! What is this?!!”Xachary cackled, “You’ve severely underestimated me, you fool. You probably only know about Genesis and Historial Power, but never heard of Demonic Power, have you?“You forced me to do this. I had hoped to bide my time and cultivate my Level Four Demonic Body, using you as my cover. Unfortunately, you haven’t been very cooperative and have crossed my bottom line. I can’t keep you anymore.”After speaking, Xachary reached into the void and summoned a purplish-red force to pull Gladwin toward him. In just a few seconds, he had a tight grip around Gladwin’s neck.As Gladwin observed in shock, Xachary’s face unde
With a menacing smile, Xachary remarked, “Whether I’m invincible or not is uncertain. However, I’m definitely strong enough to devour both of you, weaklings.”After speaking, Xachary raised his severed limb. Bathed in a purplish-red glow, his arm began to regenerate.Simultaneously, the purplish-red glow as well as the menacing aura around his body intensified.Gladwin snapped out of the shock, stood up, and exclaimed, “How is this possible? That’s his main body. His arm was severed, but he can regenerate it instantly? Moreover, it seems even stronger?”Despite Gladwin’s outbursts, James remained silent.James never expected Xachary to have possession of the Demonic Spirit’s powers that surpassed Hetsema. He began to suspect more than one remnant soul of the Demonic Spirit had escaped from Zymurgy.At that moment, Xachary who had sported white hair and a youthful appearance for a while, suddenly underwent another transformation. His hair turned crimson, and his body was completel
James instantly dashed out of the purplish-red light rays and cast the Terrastride Step, appearing in front of Xachary in the blink of an eye.Boom!James raised his hand and delivered a powerful punch, unleashing a violent Marciais Power toward Xachary.Caught off guard, Xachary barely had time to turn his head before the forceful blow shattered his nose. Blood splattered as his body was propelled backward after being struck by the Marciais Power.James gave Xachary no chance to retaliate. He swiftly activated the Dawnblaze Form and intercepted the Xachary’s trajectory Xachary. Then, he infused his Marciais Power into his fist and swung hard.Boom! With a deafening explosion, half of Xachary’s body was blasted away.James followed up with the Terrastride Step, swiftly closing in on Xachary. Then, he thrust his palm forward, mobilizing all of his Marciais Power. He transformed his palms into fists and fists into swords, accelerating to the utmost limit.“You’re not Yaquis!” Xach
As the terrifying purplish-red light rays swept outward, James, propelled by the force of the blast, suddenly sprang into action. He transformed into a streak of Sword Lights and pierced through Xachary’s Demonic Body.Xachary trembled and looked at the bloody hole in his body. His arrogance was long gone and was replaced with shock.“Impossible! Nobody should be able to penetrate my Demonic Body…” Xachary’s outbursts were cut short by James’ Sword Light, and his body was punctured once again.Xachary let out an ear-piercing growl and unleashed a purplish-red light ray to recover his body.James transformed back to his human figure, but took on his original appearance and no longer disguised himself as Yaquis. His eyes locked onto Yaquis and immediately charged at him once more.With gray, black, and white lights, James clashed fiercely with Xachary’s purplish-red aura. The two flickered through the sky as the battle intensified.It was a clash of close combat prowess and raw str
“Your foolishness astounds me, Chosen One. You will come to regret this. I assure you!”After giving his warning, a brilliant golden light suddenly shot through the air and swiftly knocked the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell.James immediately raised his hand and thrust his palm forward. However, his gray, black, and white force was deflected by the golden light.“You must have a death wish!” James cursed, then quickly advanced toward the golden light.The mysterious golden light showed no fear and engaged in battle with James. Meanwhile, the shadowy figure that was freed from the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell took advantage of the chaos and hurriedly flew into the sky.“Thanks, Tai Chi Messenger. I’m indebted to you and won’t forget the favor,” the shadowy figure expressed his appreciation.James and the golden light abruptly broke apart and ceased their fight.“Mark my words, Chosen One. You’ll regret it. The vengeance you sow today shall be reaped in due time,” said the figure.Upon hearin
Xabat snorted and released the condensed Tai Chi Power in her hands, morphing them into two golden foxes that bellowed like thunder, hurtling straight toward James.Confronted with the mystical force, James remained motionless. As the two golden foxes charged forward, he bore an ominous grin.Then, something strange occurred.Upon reaching James, the two golden foxes abruptly halted and their roars silenced. Their bodies underwent a rapid reduction, transforming into two small nine-tailed foxes.“W-What’s going on? Why are my pets showing such deference toward him?” Xabat murmured in horror. Immediately afterward, Xabat’s two nine-tailed foxes suddenly released beams of purple-gold lights, which were whisked away by James. Seeing the scene before her, she was completely dumbfounded.Xabat suffered a backlash and crimson blood dripped from her lips as she staggered backward. ‘No, this cannot be. Despite his skills in close combat, he is merely at the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. He can’t
“Was that everything? Your formation is impressive and undoubtedly potent. Unfortunately, it was useless against me.” A faint voice came from the void. Xabat was startled after she recognized James’ voice. Despite being trapped within the Goldawn Formation, he remained calm.She pointed toward the formation and said, “Your resilience is commendable, James. However, your arrogance won’t last much longer. Though you have an Ultimate Golden Body, it’ll be impossible to breach my formation.”“Is that so? You’re quite confident.” James chuckled.At that moment, a larger golden body emitting gray, black, and white light rays materialized behind Xabat.The surroundings were enveloped in a shroud of ominous gray clouds, the pressure mounting like an impending storm.Sensing the immense force bearing down, Xabat panicked. She turned around and saw a massive fist being swung toward the formation.With a deafening boom, Xabat’s proud creation, the Goldawn Formation was shattered. A casca
