Boom!A deafening explosion shook the heavens. After dodging James’ fierce attacks, Yianni kicked out, shattering the left wall of the formation, and then swiftly soared into the sky.James followed closely behind, executing eight consecutive steps of the Terrastride Step, instantly freezing the space.“You’re not bad with the Terrastride Step,” Yianni praised.Then, he spun around abruptly. Just as Yianni was about to ascend, James flashed in mid-air and kicked him in the head with a swift Dawnblaze Form, sending him plummeting downwards at high speed.Yianni also executed the Terrastride Step, transforming into an illusion and landing far away.Regaining his footing, he could not help but shout in annoyance, “Kid, you’re not fighting fair.”James replied, “Mr. Yianni, didn’t you say that the second extreme of the Fourth Marciais Combat Form, Create, is all about fighting however you want?”Yianni was momentarily speechless. He felt somewhat embarrassed.James improved too qu
Yukha could not help but find Lesia hateful. She felt like she was facing a black hole while battling the bell spirit. Yukha could never figure out where Lesia’s limits were, thus making Lesia impregnable. On the other hand, tremendous amounts of Marciais Power and a mysterious power collided as James and Yianni channeled their full powers in a series of attacks. The earth shook. The forces generated from the collisions made rogue waves on the sea of stars which surrounded the planet. Yianni and James were also sent flying away from each other by the force. Both extended their arms and absorbed the Marciais Power carried in the sea of stars. A short while later, Yianni let out a hearty laugh. “Young man, you are amazing! The level of your ability to understand, your innate gift, and your intelligence surpasses many superb cultivators, including me.” James bowed slightly. “It’s all because you’ve gone easy on me, Mr. Yianni.” “Oh, that’s not true!” Yianni waved his hand
After a brief pause, James met Yianniʼs eyes. “Mr. Yianni, have I reached the third extreme of the Fourth Marciais Combat Form now?” “Of course.” Yianni nodded. “You held up well against my full-force attacks. That is only possible when you’ve achieved the Fourth Marciais Combat Formʼs Third Extreme.” James gave Yianni a deep bow. “Please teach me how to master the fourth extreme, the Path.” “I canʼt teach you the Path. You must explore and understand it yourself.” Yianni directed his gaze on James. “You must empty your mind and calm your heart to be able to master the fourth extreme.” His face broke into a smile. “Before that, there’s something I want to ask.” James responded, “I’m all ears, Mr. Yianni.” Yianni stared at James with a piercing gaze. “Can you truly understand the bell spirit as well as she understands you?” The question caught James off guard. All along, Lesia appeared to know every single thought James had. It was never the other way around. Sometimes
In the blink of an eye, the two of them reemerged in a faraway space. James stared at the vast sea of stars before him and took a deep breath Behind him, Yukha stood nervously with her head down. She looked like a timid wife who had just been scolded by her husband. Yukha dared not even move closer to James. Not only was she Jamesʼ slave, but Yukha also no longer stood a chance against him, the Chosen One. James could easily get rid of her at any moment. After a long time, James asked, “Do you still resent me?” Yukha furrowed her brows and shook her head. James turned around to face her. “I’ll take your silence as a no. You can keep resenting me if you want.” “I shook my head just now,” Yukha retorted. James clicked his tongue. Then, he sat on a nearby rock and produced a crock, which was filled to half with the Chaos Absinthe. Yukha instinctively took a few steps backward. She was afraid that James was trying to get her drunk again. “Relax. The Chaos Absinthe i
Yukha looked at James. “Are you calling Franciscus dumb?” “That’s what you said,” James said flatly, “I’m only saying that Mr. Franciscus was too naive.” Yukha was rendered speechless. “To fight against a cunning and shameless person like Tai Chi, we need to become even more cunning and shameless than her.” James continued in a steely voice, “That is the only way for us to achieve our goals.” Meanwhile, Yukha kept silent although she felt that James was already way more cunning and shameless than Tai Chi by having these thoughts. With his arms crossed, James said coldly, “I have just one major task for you. Once we’ve reached the Genesis Worlds, you need to find ways to control the flying spirit beasts. “We need to reduce the training resources from the Genesis World that are currently in Tai Chiʼs control. “Donʼt make me regret choosing to bring you with me.” Yukha widened her eyes upon hearing those words. She was about to say something, but James had performed the Da
“I donʼt want to see him carry burdens that arenʼt his, to begin with,” Lesia said firmly, “I hate it even more when someone tries to influence or control his thoughts and actions to make him carry on their ambitions or missions.“He is who he is. He can do whatever he wants, however he likes it.” Lesia slowly lowered her hand that was holding the dagger. “I tolerated when you guys used him because he could improve his powers during the process. One must be strong enough to execute their plans. “However, I would never allow you guys to brazenly manipulate him or even plan out what he should do in the future.” Yianni grunted. “Arenʼt you using him too?” “I have.” Lesia nodded. “However, that is in the past now. I am now a part of him. I live if he lives, and I die if he dies. Yianni seethed, “You…” “You’ve served your purpose.” Lesia snorted. “Your knowledge is not needed for the fourth extreme of the Fourth Marciais Combat Form. “With his talents and wit, he’s probably s
Meanwhile, James was slowly rotating where he stood in the sea of stars. The abundant amount of Marciais Power in his surroundings flowed rapidly toward James. As James continued to absorb the powers, the black light he was emitting grew brighter with every passing minute. Simultaneously, numerous planets and universes were carried along by the flow of the Marciais Power. They clumped together and formed a gigantic ring around James. The ring rotated slowly as the fast-flowing Marciais Power came in from multiple directions. After absorbing tremendous amounts of power, James looked like an almighty giant as his Ultimate Golden Body expanded by thousands of folds. While things looked chaotic in that area, there was one tiny ball of light that remained still and almost unnoticeable. It was Yukha.When James started absorbing the Marciais Power quickly, she absorbed minute traces of the Marciais Power from a safe distance. During that time, Yukha managed to move from the
“That… That’s the ultimate form of the Marciais Combat Form?” Yukha was filled with awe. She was nowhere close to James, but she could still feel the potency of the power contained in James’ body. It was as though James could destroy worlds with a simple swing of his hand. Moreover, Yukha was much smaller than James’ Ultimate Golden Body even in her original form. It almost felt like she was a small fish looking at a huge whale. Just then, a colorful form materialized above Yukha and sat on her back. “What the hell are you doing?” Yukha yelled furiously. “You were lucky.” Lesia snorted. “You reached the Second Xaeclon Rank just by absorbing the powers from the side.” Yukha could feel her anger flare up. “Was it your idea to have Lord Yianni sacrifice himself?” “Lord Yianni? Those from the Ying World are senseless.” Lesia clicked her tongue. “He’s merely a spirit of Yianni. His job is to sacrifice himself.” Yukha subconsciously gasped. If the man she met was just a s
