Moreover, James had fully mastered the Primal Mantra and the knowledge of the Greater Paths. Even though he had not sensed the trigger for him to advance into the Caelum Acme Rank, James was equipped with the abilities and skills to move on to the next Acme Rank if he willed it. As James focused his concentration, his body began to glow with a myriad of colors. Those colorful lights transformed into unique, cryptic inscriptions almost instantaneously. A strangely ethereal sight could be seen as James channeled his powers through the manifestation of paths around him. As the paths evolved and displayed the highest form of power, James instantly detected that he had entered the Caelum Acme Rank. In the blink of an eye, Jamesʼ aura and the amount of powers he had increased by folds. At that very moment, everyone could feel a strong tremor throughout the entire airship. Suddenly, the ship came to a halt as a powerful energy fell upon the airship and trapped it in mid-air. Simulta

Saachi and the others, who were watching James from the airship, had the same concerns too. Back when James had fought Wynona in that epic battle at the Verde Academy, he had suffered severe injuries after receiving a series of Wynonaʼs powerful attacks. However, it only took the first round of those lightning bolts to shake James up pretty badly. All of them were afraid that James might not be able to make it through the Heavenly Tribulation of this level. James grimaced in pain. He was aware of how serious his condition was. The man quickly activated the Life Path to heal his injuries since he knew that he had no time to waste before the second wave of attack came. The open wounds scattered on James’ skin and his internal injuries were slowly healing with James’ powers. Unfortunately, injuries caused by the Heavenly Tribulation were awfully difficult to heal. Although James seemed quite fine on the outside, he was actually suffering from critical internal injuries. Furthermor

The shadow-like figure was unbelievably strong. It knew every signature skill that James had mastered. Furthermore, it had much more power than James. Soon enough, James was slowed down by the various injuries inflicted on his body. He was almost at his limits as he had used up most of his powers. Just then, the dark figure materialized before James and swung the sword in its hand toward James’ chest heavily. James hurriedly held the Chaos Sword up to block its attack. Unfortunately, the little strength he had left was not enough to deflect the figure’s powerful blow. James lost his grip on the sword, and it landed several meters away from its master. An overpowering amount of sword energy swept toward James and sliced across his chest the next instant. The wound was so deep that even parts of James’ bones were revealed. Before James could react, the dark figure continued to swing its sword at James, landing vicious blow after blow on his body. Gasps of horror and shock cou

Soon enough, James’ muscles and skin were fully regenerated as he conducted the closed-door meditation within the time formation. However, the injuries caused by the Heavenly Path still remained in various parts of his body. It would require a long time for James to heal all those injuries. As James was treating his injuries, he was also thinking back to the entire process of the Heavenly Tribulation. The incident had brought upon a great enlightenment in him. James began to generate and develop a complex formation in his head. Gradually, the same formation appeared right above James’ head. The inscriptions within the formation seemed to be constantly changing, producing a new combination or pattern of the formation by the second. Just then, James detected an unusual change in one of the paths contained in his body. It was the Dark Path. Ever since the Dark Path had come to exist in him, James had found its Ousia to be rather peculiar. In the beginning, it had manifested itse

‘As far as I know, only one Quasi Chaos Rank cultivator resides in the central universe of the Aeternus District, on the spiritual mountain that once belonged to my father. ‘The Aeternus District still ranked last in terms of power and influence among the nine districts. We only have a handful of Quasi Chaos Rank cultivators. There are hardly any Chaos Rank cultivators who are willing to stay here for long. ‘As for the Caelum Acme Rank cultivators from the Aeternus District, those could hardly count as a threat for people like James and Waleria,’ Saachi pondered. She turned her gaze toward James. Waleria suggested in an excited voice, “What’s there to be afraid of then? The man is only a Quasi Chaos Rank cultivator. I’ll go in there and beat him up first. Then, you guys can come in and handle the rest of the matter.” James interrupted her, “We shouldnʼt act rashly. Saachiʼs information may be outdated since she has been away from the Aeternus District for a very long time. Th
