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
The others stared with scorn at James. Their following comments dripped with mockery and sarcasm. “An evildoer like you donʼt deserve to have the Ultimate Golden Body!” “Even if he has the Ultimate Golden Body, a Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Eighth Tribulation cultivator like him canʼt possibly defeat us.” “I promise to spare your life if you are willing to hand over the powers of the Ultimate Golden Body and all the divine tools. How does that sound?” “All the Genesis Worlds can benefit if you just hand over the divine tools to us.” “Why bother reasoning with him? We can just work together and kill him. The first person gets the Ultimate Golden Body.” “He’s right. Still, I just want to retrieve the divine tools that once belonged to my sect.” “Me too. The two grand patriarchs from the Timaeus Sect can have the Ultimate Golden Body instead.” “Why should they have it?! What about the rest of us?” James and Dark Thea exchanged a knowing glance and smiled faintly as they liste
“It’s the Destruction Heavenly Tribulation!” Mattaniahʼs eyes bulged with shock. “Why did he trigger the Heavenly Tribulation at a time like this?” “It’s not just the Destruction Heavenly Tribulation.” Herodias said with a grim expression, “The Bone-crushing Heavenly Tribulation and Annihilation Heavenly Tribulation have been triggered as well.” “Arenʼt those the Upper Three Calamities created by Tai Chi?” Yegor asked in a raised voice, “James is only moving from the Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Eighth Tribulation to the Ninth Tribulation. There’s no way this will trigger the calamities! “This must have been deliberate! Tai Chi is trying to get her revenge by doing this.” Yegor shot into the air and flew upward quickly. With a frown on her forehead, Herodias swiftly went after Yegor. Both were heading toward the thick tribulation clouds. “What is he doing?! Does he have a death wish?” Mattaniahʼs voice shook. Meanwhile, Dark Thea gave her all to hold up against her opponents by
