The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword was a true Ancestral God Weapon. Though it possessed terrifying power, its true power could
not be unleashed while in James’ possession. The opposite was true for Emperor Jabari, however. As a cultivator at the peak of
the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven, the Ancestral God Weapon’s concealed power was completely unleashed.
Holding the Ancestral God Weapon in hand, Jabari turned to look at James and said, “We don’t need so many of our men there.
They will just be cannon fodder. Once we get rid of Heaven’s Adjudicator, the rest will be no threat to us.”
He waved slightly and said, “You’re dismissed. Only a remaining few need to stay and fight.”
Hearing this, James fell into deep thought. Then, he ordered, “Apart from the 400,000 Quasi Emperors, everyone else should
leave and stay far away from the region.”
James knew what Emperor Jabari was concerned about. They would emerge victorious once Heaven’s Adjudicator was
defeated. Otherwise, they would be defeated. Meanwhile, the battle against the Adjudicator solely depended on Jabari. No one
else could lend a helping hand. Even a Grand Emperor at the Seventh Heaven like Silvester could not intervene in the fight.
“Let me help you, Grand Emperor.”
James said, “The 400,000 Quasi Emperors have cultivated the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation. Once I absorb their
power, my strength will also soar.”
“Mhm.” Jabari nodded.
“Hahaha!”
At that moment, a peal of laughter boomed from inside Polaris. Then, a middle-aged man appeared in the void. At his back was
a tail devoid of flesh and blood.
“Can’t wait to make a move already?” Ludwig had a mischievous grin on his face as he looked at James and the others.
The other airships hurriedly left. Ludwig did not stop them. To him, humankind would be exterminated sooner or later anyway.
Wearing a grim expression, James looked at Ludwig and asked, “Are you a Heaven’s Adjudicator?”
Ludwig snickered and said, “I’m merely a subordinate working for Lord Theophanes. You know, helping him manage the universe
and annihilating those who step out of line.”
“Is the Ancestral God Rank Elixir in your possession?’ James questioned.
Hearing this, a golden light appeared in Ludwig’s hands. This was the Ancestral God Rank Elixir.
“Are you referring to this?” He said coldly, “As expected of the creation of the Ancestral God of the human race... Not even I can
destroy it.”
James looked at the elixir, suppressing the urge to lunge forward. He knew that only by defeating this man before him could he
obtain the elixir.
At that moment, he was intrigued by the so-called Lord Theophanes. He had long heard that there was a powerful figure behind
the scenes of the Heavenly Path called Theophanes. However, no one had ever heard of him. Perhaps the Ancestral Gods of
the Primeval Age would know. However, they were dead long ago. Now that there was a Heaven’s Adjudicator before him, he
wanted to use this opportunity to know more about Theophanes.
“What kind of person is Theophanes?”
“Lord Theophanes?” With great admiration and respect, Ludwig answered, “He’s the most supreme being in this universe. He
was the one who created the Heavenly Path that controls all things in the universe. You, foolish humans, are delusional into
thinking that you could annihilate the Heavenly Path and create a new order. You don’t understand that there are greater forces
at work here. The so-called Four Calamities are merely a test from Theophanes. If humankind survives the ordeal, you may
continue living. Otherwise, you’ll be completely annihilated. Without Lord Theophanes’ power, he could destroy every one of you
here with a flick of a finger. He just has other important matters to attend to.”
“What matters?” James asked.
“I guess it won’t hurt telling you this, ignorant humans.” Ludwig said nonchalantly, “Do you think that this is the only universe out
there? No, this universe is but one among many. This universe is called the Twelfth Universe. This means there are eleven more
universes out there.”
