James’ body disappeared without a trace, and he dodged the attack. At that moment, the ground shattered due to the impact.
However, due to the boundary, the fissure did not spread.
In the next instant, James suddenly appeared behind Xesus and struck with great force with his palm. However, despite his full
force, he was unable to cause true damage to Xesus and could only knock him back.
Xesus staggered backward due to the great force.
Seeing that he was unscathed, James was stunned, “What terrifying physical strength...”
Many were stunned as well.
“As expected of a powerful figure of the Martial Ranking... His physical strength is unrivaled.”
“But of course! To be on the Martial Ranking, a strong physical body is a must. Those who are on the ranking have a physical
strength equivalent to the Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor.”
“Not only that, they must be geniuses who have cultivated at least five Paths.”
“The ruler of the universe once openly said that the world needs the protection of those on the Martial Ranking.”
Many conversed.
Meanwhile, on Mount Heavenly Path...
Herschel, Thea, and Sienna were all watching the scene. Upon witnessing the scene, Herschel smiled faintly and said, “That guy
is ranked last on the Martial Ranking. Do you think that James can make it to the end, Thea? Even if he could, can he emerge
victorious against the number-one ranked on the Martial Ranking?”
Herschel had full confidence that James would perish along the way to Mount Heavenly Path.
Thea’s expression was devoid of emotions as she glanced at Herschel and said coldly, “Hmph, if James is in a similar rank as
him, he would be able to finish him off in a single move.”
Herschel said with a pitiful look on his face, “What a shame that he’s not in the Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor Rank.”
“We will see,” Thea said coldly.
She believed that James was invincible against anyone under the Quasi Ancestral God Rank. novelebook.comAfter all, he had
cultivated the Five Great Paths and the Karma Path. Even the one who ranked first in the Martial Ranking would not stand a
chance against him.
On the battlefield outside the Callahans...
There was a mysterious boundary in the surroundings of the battlefield.
The moment James crossed fists with his foe, he immediately knew just how terrifying Xesus was. Xesus’ physical strength had
reached the Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor Rank, and his rank was even more horrifying. Since this was his first battle upon
leaving the Callahans, James had to achieve a perfect victory.
Standing in mid-air, his mind stirred, and the Path Seals in his body exuded power. Apart from the Dark Path Seal, all other Path
Seals were activated. As this was the Illuminated World, he could not perform the Dark Path Seal. Besides, Radomir had warned
him against leaking any information regarding the Dark Wellspring. If he used the Dark Path Seal, he would be suspected.
As the Path Seals exuded immense power, this power circulated throughout his body, and his aura soared. Soon, his aura
reached the pinnacle. At that moment, James exuded an unrivaled aura, and he seemed to be a supreme being who could
disregard all living beings.
Standing in the distance, Xesus was holding his golden broadsword. At that moment, the inscription engraved on the broadsword
began to glimmer, giving the broadsword power, which was in turn transferred to Xesus. At that moment, Xesus’ aura soared.
Upon seeing this, many in the crowd held their breaths and watched intently.
“Can James win?”
“I heard that he’s only just reached the Grand Emperor Rank.”
“If he does, he will be a legend.”
“If he wins against Xesus Leofwine, he would be the first in history to make it onto the Martial Ranking without being a Ninth
Heaven Grand Emperor.”
