Seeing this scene, a Grand Patriarch with white temples sitting beside Lady Herodias suddenly chuckled and said, “The younger generations nowadays are becoming more and more audacious. They dare to be so bold and ruthless.”“Well, you can’t say it like that, Sir Stefan.” Another Grand Patriarch with red hair chuckled and said, “They each lead a sect now, how can they develop if they don’t compete?”The words of the red-haired Grand Patriarch immediately resonated with the other Grand Patriarchs present, who nodded one after another.“The Genesis World has always been a world of survival of the fittest. With limited resources, it’s natural that the strong are respected.”“We’ve fought our way up like this all along. Otherwise, could we have what we have now?”“The younger generation’s hot-bloodedness is understandable. Let them play.”“It seems that both the Yaquis Holiness and Gladwin have comparable cultivation bases. This battle between them is quite intriguing.”“These two jun
“If that evildoer obtains the Ultimate Golden Body, won’t the Genesis World be plunged into catastrophe?”“Let’s wait for the right moment to settle the score. No rush for now.”Listening to the whispered conversations of the powerhouses, the Grand Patriarchs sitting on either side of Yegor and Lady Herodias exchanged glances, their eyes revealing hidden meanings.Meanwhile, James sat down beside Dark Thea, nodding slightly towards her.“It seems someone still appreciates me.” Dark Thea smiled charmingly. “Well, with so many guests coming and going today, there must be a few normal ones, right?”With that, she raised her glass of Qhairos towards James. “Let’s drink to outshine these old dogs.”A stunned silence fell over everyone. However, James smiled calmly and raised his glass in response.At that moment, Dark Thea suddenly grabbed his hand. “This is how we should drink.”With that, she intertwined her hand with James’, tilting her head back to finish her drink. This was a c
Dark Thea and James released their grip and watched the dozen or so transcendent powerhouses, who seemed eager to try their luck. Both of them simultaneously furrowed their brows.“What’s this? Are you all bothered by us having a drink?” Dark Thea sneered. “Madam Savannah, are you envious because there’s a handsome man beside me?“If you have some romantic inclinations, you could also grab a few good-looking guys to accompany you for drinks and indulge in some revelry, even taste what it’s like to be with a man.”The scene erupted into a commotion as soon as these words were spoken.James could only sigh in speechless amusement. When Thea got mischievous, she could anger a bunch of powerhouses without even trying, because her resentment was always brimming.“This is utterly outrageous!” roared Savannah. “You are harlot, demoness, shameless and depraved! You wreaked havoc in the Genesis World countless times, and now you dare to come to the feast of Yegor and Lady Herodias to caus
Yegor and Lady Herodias exchanged a glance, both revealing a wry smile.“Outrageous!” The red-haired Grand Patriarch glared at Yegor and Lady Herodias. “You two are the hosts. We’re all esteemed guests invited by you. Can you allow such atrocities to happen before you?”His words immediately struck a chord with the surrounding Grand Patriarchs, who began clamoring.“Yegor and Lady Herodias, we will take action if you don’t intervene.”“Such madness cannot be tolerated!”“This evildoer is too arrogant. This is simply intolerable!”“We usually don’t bother with her, but today’s situation is unbearable!”Listening to the Grand Patriarchs’ declarations, Yegor and Lady Herodias exchanged another glance. Just as they were about to speak, a resounding roar echoed from outside the Telhervo Hall. “Evildoer, come out and return my Historial Core!”Hearing this voice, the enraged Grand Patriarchs were momentarily stunned.James whispered, “Who’s this now?”“The Core God, the Tool God,
Yegor and Lady Herodias calmly rose from their seats as they could see how displeased the grand patriarchs were. Yegor began in a steely voice, “Everyone, James is an important guest of mine. He’s also Truett and Xitlaly’s matchmaker. We do not wish to see any of you giving him a hard time.” “All of you are famous and respectable figures.” Lady Herodias frowned slightly. “Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you all to pick a fight with a young cultivator like him?” As the grand patriarchs and other guests were about to make their retort, the noises of Dark Thea fighting with the three mysterious cultivators came in through the door. Those men were shocked and livid when they saw how Dark Thea effortlessly dealt with her opponents. “Mr. Caden!” The red-haired grand patriarch turned his eyes to James. “We want to borrow your divine tools as we need them to remove that evildoer for good! So, how could you selfishly decline our request?” A lady cultivator let out a scoff. “He’s
Then, Xaiden turned around and strode toward the door. The other grand patriarchs and cultivators quickly followed him out of the Telhervo Hall as well. Mattaniah snorted. “How can they act so brazenly?” “They have always been like this.” Yegor said frigidly, “On the surface, they are the virtuous and respected grand patriarchs belonging to different sects. You’ll see they are all hypocrites when the situation involves something they are after.” Herodias cast her gaze at James. “You won’t be able to stop them since there are too many of their men here today, James. “The three of us can protect you from these men. However, we won’t be able to do the same for her since she’s made too many enemies up to this point.” James smiled faintly. “Lady Herodias, I am grateful for your help, and I understand that you are all in a tough spot now. I’ve given this serious thought. The worst thing that can happen is just me dying and losing all my powers.” Mattaniahʼs brows lifted. “Do you
Upon hearing those words, Yegor lifted his head and heaved a deep breath. His body was shaking a little. Beside him, Mattaniah and Herodias closed their eyes almost simultaneously. They knew what it meant if they were to agree to James’ requests. They would have to stand and watch as James sacrificed himself. They would be losing a brave and noble friend soon. Obviously, James and the Dark Heavenly Path had zero chance of winning against the dozens of superb cultivators and grand patriarchs waiting outside. They could hardly escape from that crowd alive. Yegor, Herodias, and Mattaniah felt extremely conflicted as they considered James’ request.Lady Herodias began, “James, the Dark Heavenly Path is not her sole identity. You probably already know that she has another identity too. “Even if she dies now, she will be reborn again. She will get a chance to start over again. “It’s different for you, though. You might lose the Ultimate Golden Body and all of the cultivation y
Suddenly, numerous cultivators appeared in a circle around her. The men channeled their powers simultaneously as they tried to put up a Sigillare Formation around Dark Thea. She was trapped in that space, unable to move a single muscle. Just then, James arrived below the almost-finished formation. He swiftly transformed into a purplish-gold sword energy. The sword energy shot toward the eye of the formation and destroyed it instantly. At the same time, James managed to retrieve a divine tool from the formation. Then, he zoomed across the sky, piercing through the bodies of two Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Ninth Tribulation cultivators. Before the men surrounding them could react, James’ sword energy form had headed for those three cultivators seized by Dark Thea. “Shit! Someoneʼs aiming for a sneak attack!” The middle-aged cultivator trapped in one of the gigantic hands yelled. In a flash, James had transformed into a purplish-gold sword and pierced through one of the lady cult
