The afterimages of the two figures intertwined as the light flashed around them, their collision so intense it seemed to shake the surroundings, creating a spectacular display.Thea practiced both long-range and close-quarters combat. Her husband, James, also influenced her hand-to-hand combat skills, which sharpened her skills even more.Gryphon, one of the three Great Holiness, effortlessly matched Thea’s fierce attacks with a perfect blend of offense and defense.Meanwhile, the Divine Marius, having regained his human form, stood amidst the ruins. He watched the battle unfold in the sky with shock. Taichu, beside him, also focused intently, not wanting to miss a single moment of the fight.Marius gasped, “After being corrupted, the Yin governor’s Three Treasures reached its peak. She also has Silver’s full inheritance. She’s ready to go all out in this battle.”Taichu sighed, “This will be tough. Gryphon is as powerful as the Waitara Path. Even if the Yin governor and James joi

Amidst the ceaseless explosions echoing in the void, the Divine Marius and Taichu had awe-stricken expressions. The other eight Spiritual Saints, who were hurled tens of thousands of light years away by the force of the blast, were also in disbelief.Gryphon instantly shattered the purple-gold Sword Lights in a fury and materialized in the void above James and Thea. He looked down and said disdainfully, “Are you the Mortal Emperor, one of the Chosen Ones?”Ignoring Gryphon, James calmly wiped the blood from Thea's lips.Gryphon sneered, “Your wife claims you’re the first in the Greater Realms to have integrated the Three Treasures and that you’re the future ruler of the Haleth Realm.”James remained silent, tending to Thea.Gryphon’s laughter filled the void. “I’ve witnessed countless powerhouses, yet none match your audacity and ignorance. I’d like to see if you have the strength to match your attitude.”James cleaned the blood off Thea’s face, sighed, and said, “We’ll face life’

Gryphon trembled and stepped back in horror. “This can’t be real. What kind of monster are you? Are you the Waitara Path’s Soremsia? Otherwise, it’s impossible…”James lifted his hand and commanded, “Rise!”The next moment, a black dragon emerged from his fingertip and transformed into a lightsaber with vibrant hues.Gryphon was stunned by the lightsaber’s mysterious and terrifying force. He exclaimed, “Impossible! It can’t be the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword! What the hell is it?”“Descend!” James gently traced two fingers in the air.The lightsaber spun rapidly, and more emerged from it to clash with the mountains, plants, and beings. Consecutive explosions ensued, causing Gryphon to cough up blood until the lightsaber destroyed everything.The chaos around James instantly subsided.James and Gryphon appeared in the void again. However, a lightsaber hovered above Gryphon’s head. Gryphon’s face was pale, his body battered and bloody.Marius and Taichu observed from the ruins, g

“You’re right. With how kind Thea is, she’d ask me to stop,” James agreed, then waved his arm, and a mysterious force shot out to open the Gate of Anonymous.Two giant dragons emerged from it, wrapped around Gryphon’s skeleton, and dragged it into the gate. Shortly after, they collectively disappeared.James was not showing mercy but simply felt the time to kill him had not come. He appeared before Marius and Taichi, squinted and asked, “Gorger?Marius nodded and answered, “Yes, Master…”James interrupted, “Is it your Soremsia or your true form?” Marius smiled bitterly and said, “Wyrmscale Beings don’t have Soremsias. I merely went down there to train myself.”James reached out and helped Marius up from the ground. He was relieved that Gorger was not a Soremsia but the same entity that had evolved.He felt a stronger connection than when he discovered Xanthakos was Emperor Jabari and Franciscus. His emotions were incomparable at the moment.Marius hurriedly pointed to Taichu a

Taichu, on the other hand, laughed out loud. “I pity you to be in charge of these fools. They are the Wyrmscale Source’s Spiritual Saints. Yet, they are so spineless. Even so, you still want to protect them?”Upon hearing her ridicule, Marius covered his eyes.James, on the other hand, calmly split the Wyrmscale Token into two halves.A dazzling light immediately burst from it, causing the entire place to shake. The wails from Wyrmscale Beings resounded around them.The Spiritual Saints ceased their attacks on Aether and turned to James in fear.Marius looked at him in shock and asked, “Why did you destroy the Wrymscale Token, Master? Emperor Tapia refined it with spiritual essence, holding supreme status in the Wrymscale Source.”James squinted and asked, “If it is that important, how are there subordinates that refuse its command? It’s truly eye-opening.”After speaking, he lifted a broken half and crushed it into ashes.The Wyrmscale Source’s ruins trembled violently and col
