"Urrg, I've been walking for so long and I haven't found anyone yet, why is this place so huge, am I even getting closer" James grumbled as he stared at his empty desolate surroundings, he had been walking for hours but it seemed like he didn't seem to be getting closer to the core."Is this a trap?" James asked himself as he glanced at his surroundings, it was truly bizarre how he had been in one place even after walking for so long."Hmm" James paused as he placed his palm on the ground.BZZZZSeveral rune circles extended from his palm onto the ground as the air around him buzzed, the scenery seemed like it was changing."Aha, an illusion" James beamed as he observed this change, he was right he was caught in an illusion and it seemed to be a wide one."I'm not powerful enough to break an illusion set by a demigod but I can definitely manipulate it, seems like I've gotten a trump card, the transcendents would not notice this even with their proficiency in space, only those well-ver
"Can I kill him now?" The Fiend asked with an annoyed grunt."Hold your tongue or your next words could be your last" Liu Xiang gave a cold threat to the fiend who snorted and then turned away."So what are you going to do with me now?" James asked with a frown, he had thought of several things but nothing seemed to be viable due to the disparity in strength between the two sides."Hmm let's see, I have to first find out who sent you" Liu Xiang replied with a grin.'This guy is a psychopath' James thought as he observed the sudden change in expression."Listen I already told you nobody sent me, I'm on my own" James said as he felt his breath seize."Oh don't worry after some time of torture, you'll spill the beans" Liu Xiang said with a smirk as he watched James suffer."Gu…aw.." James struggled as he felt an invisible force wrap around his neck."Are you ready to talk now?" Liu Xiang asked after a minute."Huuuu, huuu, I already told you" James said with anger as he glared at Liu Xia
"So you're really not going to tell me more, please the suspense is killing me" James said with a groan as he and Xi Shi moved towards the core."Well at this moment it should be a mutual exchange, otherwise you can wait till we pass the mission" Xi Shi said calmly before she focused on the path before them, her eyes seemingly lost in thought."Well since you intend to keep it to yourself, suit yourself we're almost there anyway, soon I'll get to see it myself" James said as they walked right through a transparent, immediately the scene before them changed from the original deathly and chaotic environment to a calm and peaceful environment."This Fiend wasn't simple" James said with a frown."You can feel it too?" Xi Shi asked in shock."Yeah it feels like it's not there but I can definitely feel it, that thin aura of chaos that changed form" James replied with form as some information formed in his mind, the only way to become a god was to comprehend a law and to be able to become a
"What bullshit, I've never heard of the imperial rune sect" Lu Xun said arrogantly as he glared at James with malice evident in his eyes but deep in his heart, he was just jealous that James was standing next to such a beauty."That's the whole point of being ghosts, few people know of our existence" James replied with a look of disdain like the answer was so simple."Hmm I don't care what force you're from, can you open the barrier or not" The illusory swordsman said with impatience."Of course, it's quite easy" James replied with a smirk."Wait up everyone, just slow down, we don't know if what he is saying is true, we don't even know he is, he could be a spy from the demons" Ye Yang said with a frown as he glanced at James and Xi Shi suspiciously."You know I'm starting to get tired of your mouth dog face, if you got a problem then just say it" James said with a look of scorn as he pointed at Ye Yang whose expression changed to anger at the provocation."What did you just call me?"
"The walls are really unique" Liu Xiang remarked s they walked through the narrow pathway through the walls."How did you know about the path here?" Liu Xiang asked James who glanced towards him quietly."Not gonna answer me huh" Liu Xiang muttered with a sigh before he turned to XI Shi."Hey beautiful, so what's your story" Liu Xiang said with a smirk."Do you ever shut up" Xi Shi retorted in annoyance."So how do you feel about letting those guys walk into their deaths" Liu Xiang turned to James and said with a grin after seeing his plan to lure Xi Shi to talk had worked, he also noticed that Xi Shi also perked her ears slightly after hearing the question, it seemed like she was also interested in James's answer."When they walked over here, I told them that I would help them up to the core and that's exactly what I did, I even chipped in a little clue that not everything is as it looks, so I would say that I've done more than enough" James said calmly as his eyes scanned the walls.
“Hey, are you okay?” James asked as he stood in front of Xi Shi who blinked her eyes as she remembered where she was.“Are you feeling all right?” James asked again as Xi Shi noticed how close they were, her cheeks suddenly glowed with a light red hue.“Oh sorry” James said awkwardly as he noticed this change and stepped backward.“I’m also fine thank you, what is this piece of paper on me?” Liu Xiang asked as he looked down to see a piece of paper stuck on his chest with several runes on it.“Make sure you don’t make the mistake of taking it off, those are concealment runes to shroud us from the thing in the core” James replied grimly.“You mean that eye, did you see it too?” Xi Shi asked in surprise as she thought back to the intense pressure she felt from that eye.“Huh did you see it?” James asked in shock.“Yeah, right before we escaped the illusion, I saw a huge eye staring at us, at that moment, I could feel such intense pressure that I have only ever felt from a few people” Xi
“How dare you spit such foul stench on me, didn’t your parents teach you to respect your elders” James’s voice sounded together with the head of the virulent serpent falling to the ground, as he walked out of the miasma clutching his sword he wiped the blood off calmly before turning to the group who stood watching him like he was a ghost.“This guy has to be the most mysterious person I have ever seen” Ye Yang remarked in astonishment staring at James who grinned while walking up to them.“I was wondering how you were going to take care of it, how did you even do that?” Xi Shi asked standing together with Liu Xiang who also stared at James in shock, even at his peak, he would have to be wary of the poisonous miasma of the Virulent Serpent but James just walked in without hesitation like he knew that he wouldn’t be harmed, he wasn’t the only one with this thought, Xi Shi also had the same thought in her mind.‘I didn’t even know they were behind us’ Luo Zen thought while staring at Xi
A flash of light was followed by the appearance of a figure in a pure white dimension, the whole dimension was white filled with nothing, it was totally empty except for the doorway that stood some feet away from him.“A creepy doorway, why not?” James chuckled to himself before walking through the doorway, as he walked through, he felt a strange force wash over him seeping through every pore in his body as if, trying to inspect every single secret he kept, the feeling lasted for a while before he was teleported into a grassy field, immediately after appearing, James didn’t waste time and quickly took a look at his surroundings.He was in a beautiful grassland, there was a magnificent sun which could be seen standing triumphantly in the sky providing light, butterflies flew all around the flowers which graced the environment with enchanting smells, birds flew all around the sky as rabbits and other insects played around on the ground, all this combined painted a beautiful image in Jam
In the battle hall of the Capital, located in the city lord's residence, the 4 generals were all gathered around the Battle table, James and Xi Shi were also seated there, as for Xi Shi and Shòuwáng, they were keeping Mimi busy elsewhere."This is a direct provocation to our esteemed Lord, we cannot stand for this rubbish, I say we attack with our full force and decimate Sergan's force" A pale faced man said in anger, his hair changed from black to brown as he spoke, his confident aura displayed his strength as a Transcendent on the same level as Yao Ming, the fact was that excluding Yao Jing who was a peak Transcendent and James who was an Ancestor, the rest were all on the same level of strength as Yao Ming, this particular General was named General Hans."Sergan is a valid threat to our Continent, we have to eliminate him as soon as possible, I agree with General Hans" A middle-aged man with an eye patch added with a serious expression, his left hand clutched a wooden cane, this wa
"Greetings to the Lord" Everyone around also did the same as Eric, giving a light bow to the Old man who nodded in response."It's nice to see you again Yao Ming" The Old man said with a smile."Hello brother" Yao Ming replied with a sigh. "I hope you've been well, I thought you were dead" The Old man chuckled as he walked over and hugged Yao Ming."You know I can't die if you haven't" Yao Ming replied with a chuckle."We have a lot to talk about, let's go somewhere private" The Old Man said with a smile."Okay, thank you for everything, I'll meet up with you later" Yao Ming said to his brother then turned to Eric who was still dazed and hadn't registered the fact that Yao Ming was the Lord's brother."Oo..okay" He managed to speak while still digesting the situation."Are these your friends?" The Old Man asked observing Xi Shi and the others behind Yao Ming, when his eyes landed on Xi Shi and James, his eyes paused for a second before moving on, he waved his hand causing the environ
"Huh? What is this?" James muttered as he strolled through the Fireherd stronghold, watching the wine, meat, food, and bodies strewn across the hall, they were all asleep."What happened here?" Xi Shi asked also curious."We're about to find out" James replied staring at the door at the end of the hall.**************************************************"We have to tidy up the place before Master gets back otherwise, he'll be pissed off if he sees the situation of the stronghold" Di er said with a sigh as he massaged his forehead which ached, they had held a feast for three days non-stop."Just forget it, what are you so worried about? Master is probably still within the Secret Realm" Shouwang said with a smile, he glanced at the others seated around the table and chuckled before sipping wine from his gourd."How are you still able to drink after all that?" Xuèmai asked in confusion, the past three days had been one to never forget, they had partied throughout and drank so much wine th
“And that, ladies and gentlemen is how you make an entrance” James said with a bow before leaping off the monster’s back to land on the ground.“James! How..?” Xi Shi’s eyes lit up in shock after seeing James who grinned and walked over to her.“Yeah I missed you too” James winked at Xi Shi then turned to the others around.“Please help me loot those bodies over there” James said to them with a smile.“Yes of course” The others quickly took off to execute the task, they didn’t want to imagine what would happen if James got angry, the humongous monster at the side was a hint.After seeing them move along, James turned back to XI Shi.“Give me a minute with him” James whispered to her causing her to nod in response, James then turned to The Northern Sword who twitched seeing this.James’s expression suddenly turned serious as he walked toward The Northern Sword, taking each step one by one, watching James approach him, The Northern Sword instinctively grabbed his sword, his expression c
“I don’t know who you are but I’ll do as you say, I’m sure you know better than to break the oath of a sword” The Northern Sword replied with a nod to James who smiled just as the dimension shook for three cloaked figures to appear.“Looks like your opponents are here, I’ll be going on now, Xi Shi wait for me” James said to The Northern Sword and then to Xi Shi before teleporting over to the orb, he looked back to catch a view of The Northern Sword rushing toward the three figures alone if it was a different person there, James would have been worried but he knew who the Northern Sword was so he had no fear, he turned around and placed his palms on the orb before disappearing leaving the others.When he was some distance away from the three figures, The Northern Sword paused before sitting on the ground, his long sword lay next to him as he waved his hand causing a gourd to appear in his hands which he raised to his mouth, he then proceeded to gulp down its contents, by now the three
