Youcef declared, “Whoever dares intervene with our fight will be my mortal enemy. It doesn’t matter who they are!”Seeing Youcef’s determination, Thea took a deep breath.Just as she was about to speak, a stunning figure appeared in the void, accompanied by a flash of multi-colored divine lights.“Aren’t you being too naive, Youcef?”“She is no longer the Yin governor that came into existence from Xyloria Aura, but a demon colluding with the orthodox sects to bring disaster upon Zymurgy!”The figure transformed into a lightsaber and darted at Thea.However, before the lightsaber could get close, Youcef intercepted and caught it between his fingers.The figure shouted, “Are you courting death, Youcef? The plan is to eradicate the demon! Everyone from the Forty-Ninth Heaven agreed to it. Even though you’re Emperor Qadeer’s son, you can’t just defy it!”Youcef responded coldly, “I just said she’s James’ wife! Anybody who touches her and disrupts our battle agreement will have to f
Thea opened her eyes and replied icily, “He tried to kill me first.”Youcef parted his lips, but words failed him.At that moment, an ethereal female voice resonated from the void.“The ruler of Hokuwn indeed possesses remarkable strength. It appears that you’re beyond saving.”Youcef shouted anxiously, “It’s Emperess Hyacinth! Quick, take refuge inside my bracelet…”Unfortunately, it was already too late.In a burst of iridescence above his head, a figure garbed in a crimson robe materialized, emanating a fragrant aura.She exuded an orchid-like grace with delicate features, a voluptuous figure, and breathtaking allure.Her body exuded an enchanting fragrance, and her every move was elegant.“Long time no see, beautiful.” Hyacinth descended, flicked her sleeves, and laughed.Thea looked at the woman with interest and said, “I never imagined a lowly woman like you would actually become an empress. Truly, the Forty-Ninth Heaven conceals their filth pretty well.”Hyacinth laugh
As Thea’s voice faded, her powers within the purple-red lotus merged and intensified, causing it to spin rapidly. Her Marcisias Power and Taishi Power condensed within the lotus merged, giving rise to numerous vibrant, brand-new holy light energy balls. The energy balls descended precisely onto blooming lotuses. Upon contact, they burst out with dazzling lights and cracked open to reveal thumb-sized infants that resembled Thea. Though their eyes remained shut, they were bathed by the lotus’ energy and developed within a divine light.Hyacinth immediately caught on and exclaimed, “Primordial Spirit Nurturing! We can’t let her succeed, or else her power will surpass the Three Treasures. It’d be impossible to defeat this demoness by then!”She unleashed a torrent of colorful divine lights, transforming them into dense lightsabers hurtling toward Thea. Other emperors swiftly followed suit, unleashing their most potent skills in a concerted assault.Countless phantom palms, lightsab
“Are you satisfied with this speed, James?” asked Morgott.“It’s not bad,” Morgott spoke again, this time with James’ voice.Hyacinth widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.“You…you’re a fusion of Morgott and James? You two demons actually…”Before she could finish, a sharp pain coursed through her body. Looking down, she saw a gaping wound in her Ultimate Golden Body.A second later, a tragic scream erupted from behind her, and an emperor whose body was pierced exploded.Consecutively, several more emperors twisted in pain and exploded one after another. The Fortieth Heaven had blood raining down from the skies and body parts scattering everywhere. The emperors’ souls were left without a vessel and could only flee in panic.The Hyacinth witnessed the gruesome scenes unfold before her eyes. She was terrified beyond words as she looked at Morgott.‘Didn’t they say one would become invincible and could dominate the Greater Realms after reaching the Daeclon Mahayana? What the hel
James stood outside the air wall and smiled warmly at Thea despite her silence.With a raise of his hand, a vast Innate Energy surged into Thea’s collapsing barrier, instantly restoring it to its original state.James then shook his body, separating from Morgott and returning to his physical body.Morgott asked hurriedly, ‘What do you mean, James? Weren’t we merged pretty well? It’s perfect for us to fight to our heart’s content. Why separate now?”James interrupted irritably, “Shut up. You talk too much. It’s annoying to stay merged with you.”Morgott laughed awkwardly, “You don’t want to be exposed, right? I can act as your cover-up!”James snorted, ignoring Morgott’s remarks.He wanted to avoid exposing himself because the opponents had not taken action. Now that powerhouses from the Forty-Ninth Heaven had been sent, it was clear they already saw through him.It would be rather foolish to continue the act since there was no need to conceal anything.Moreover, the trap in th
The success of their plan hinged on the outcome of the upcoming battle. James meticulously allocated all available resources in preparation.After a brief pause, Morgott let out a sigh. “I’ll do it. However, I also have a condition.”“Go on.” James nodded.Morgott proposed, “Let’s avoid fighting to death. Our main goal shouldn’t be to kill the Path Emperors. It should be finding an opportunity to ensure our safety and escape.James chuckled.Irritated, Morgott asked, “What’s so funny?”“It’s just unexpected. To see the once ruthless demon showing strategic acumen is quite amusing,” James replied, his tone reflecting surprise.Morgott, clearly displeased, retorted, “Our strength is already insufficient, to begin with. Engaging in futile battles would only be a humiliation for ourselves. You’ve already integrated the Three Treasures. Given time, you’ll grow stronger after integrating the Five Spirits as well. It wouldn’t be too late to take revenge by then.“Time is on your side
Looking at the old man riding a crane, James frowned.“Who’s the old man?”Morgott replied, “He ranked third amongst the Five Path Emperors. He’s called Emperor Cosimeon and controls the Gate of Virtue.“Be careful, James. He is a cunning one. He talks about virtue and righteousness, but his heart is full of wickedness and deceit. He’s also very scheming. Don’t fall into his trap.”James showed a perplexed expression.The old man sitting atop the crane stroked his beard, looked at James and showed a kind smile. “James, or shall I call you Forty-nine?”James stared at him silently.The old man praised, “There’s a total of five Chosen Ones. Yet, you are the only one that has integrated the Three Treasures. You’ve exceeded our expectations and have made a name for yourself.”James remained indifferent to his words.The old man sighed, then raised a shining jade pendant.“Do you know what this is?”Morgott’s soul consciousness said telepathically, “That’s the Soul Pendant. I’m a
Wesley clicked his tongue, “I know how stubborn you can be.”James smiled and said, “You’ve already paved the way for me. Did you foresee the current situation?”Wesley shook his head helplessly, No. We’ve been trying to prevent you from falling into such a calamity, but you’re a person, not a tool we control. We can’t manipulate you as we wish."James felt somewhat speechless. ‘Should I cry or laugh? Perhaps I’m supposed to thank them for their well-intentioned efforts?’Wesley stared at James and said, “I don’t have much time left. Let’s cut to the chase. To overcome this situation, you have three options.”James listened attentively, “Tell me.”Wesley explained, “The first is to make a bold move to sacrifice something insignificant for the bigger picture.”James squinted and asked, “Please elaborate.”Wesley said decisively, “With you and your wife’s strength, you two will be able to defeat all the evil forces in the Fortieth Heaven. Take action now to kill the orthodox sect
