James did not resist and simply allowed the lightning to strike him.
Boom!
As powerful Lightning Power struck him, the surrounding space exploded. Cracks began to appear in the void and spread like
spiderwebs. A deep hole appeared beneath James. James, however, was unscathed. Upon using all his power, his strength was
now equivalent to an Ancestral God. The lightning tribulations meant for Ancestral Gods could not harm him at all.
“What?”
The powerful figures of the Dragon Race were stunned.
“How is he so strong?”
“He’s only at the Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor Rank. How did he manage to resist the power of the lightning tribulation?”
“He has grown many times stronger as compared to his battle against the number-one ranked on the Martial Ranking.”
They were shocked.
Boom!
The second lightning tribulation descended. Then, the third and the fourth...
Lightning tribulations descended from the sky and struck James, who used the power of all his Paths to resist them. His physical
body was unscathed, and the Blood Energy inside his body churned.
The clouds in the sky disappeared, and the black dragon left.
The Sect Elders flew toward James and glanced downward at him. One of them spoke, “You are the first Ninth Heaven Grand
Emperor to have completed the challenge. You are also the first who dared to accept the challenge. Now, let’s move on to the
second challenge.”
James was unafraid of any challenge. Even though he was only a Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor, he had cultivated many
Paths,novelebook.com and his combat prowess was already equivalent to or perhaps even surpassed that of an Ancestral God.
Under the Dragon Race’s guidance, James arrived at a special spot. This was a valley enveloped in a black mist on Dragon
Island.
A Sect Elder pointed straight ahead and said, “You will complete the challenge by traversing through the valley. I have to warn
you, however, that the black mist in the valley is extremely toxic. Even an Ancestral God would have his physical body corroded
upon being contaminated.”
“Thanks for the reminder.”
James clasped his fists. Without any hesitation, he simply strode forward. Since he had cultivated the Dark Path, not to mention
that his physical body was reshaped by the Demonic Lotus, could any toxin corrode his physical body?
Soon, he arrived at the toxic mist and tried sensing it. Upon realizing there was nothing to be afraid of, he simply entered the
valley without summoning any power. Upon entering the black mist, the toxins permeating the air entered his body through the
pores. However, his body was already immune to all sorts of poison. As the toxins had no damage to his physical body, he easily
traversed through the valley.
James’ performance surpassed the Dragon Race’s expectations.
“As expected of the most terrifying genius of this age.”
“It’s hard for me to believe that he’s only at the Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor Rank.”
“Perhaps another Caelum Ancestral God would be born in the Twelfth Universe many years in the future.”
“The Human Race is indeed the leader of all races. Prodigies keep appearing like mushrooms after a rain.”
They conversed quietly.
After James traversed through the valley, the Sect Elders appeared.
“The last challenge will be passing the Jalong Sea. Once you pass the Jalong Sea, you will be able to enter Dragon Island.
Whether or not Laurentinus grants you an audience, however, depends on your luck.” A Sect Elder said.
James said with a composed expression on his face, “Show me the way.”
“Follow me.”
The Sect Elder beckoned. Then, he brought James to the Jalong Sea.
