Briscoe attacked with lightning speed. Before James could even react, he had already appeared in front of James.
James raised the Demon-Slayer Sword to block his attack.
Boom!
Two Chaotic Treasures clashed, and a deafening sound exploded.
James feigned being knocked away by the force, and faked spitting out a mouthful of blood. In a proper fight, Briscoe would not
be capable of causing him internal injuries with just one attack.
Briscoe quickly seized the opportunity to pressure James with more attacks. James defended against the onslaught and was
constantly pushed away.
Briscoe fought ruthlessly and seemed like he wanted to kill James.
James knew he had revealed his Chaos Power in the Dark World before, and would have to do it again in this battle. He
pretended to falter before Briscoe’s might and suddenly unleashed his Chaos Power. At that moment, he immediately turned the
tide and gained the upper hand against Briscoe.
Unable to withstand the Chaos Power, Briscoe was forced backward.
The two fought intensely in the Chaos. Briscoe used all his strength and his resources, whereas James fought halfheartedly.
James could easily defeat Briscoe, but he had other plans.
Briscoe was forced into a corner. He had no choice but to use his ultimate move.
Briscoe’s power suddenly returned to its original form and restrained James’ power. Naturally, James had only demonstrated a
portion of his Chaos Power’s strength.
After Briscoe revealed the true form of his powers, James backed away.
“I surrender.”
James felt that he had done enough to convince everyone watching and immediately forfeited the match. Briscoe stopped
attacking and released his murderous intent.
James put away the Demon-Slayer Sword, wiped the blood from his lips, and looked at Briscoe in mock amazement. ”
Incredible. You’re too powerful for me. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a wonderful fight. Unfortunately, we’d end up
fighting to the death if this continued. I admit my defeat.”
After speaking, James turned to the Omnipotent Lord in the distance and said, “I’ve lost, Omnipotent Lord. I’m not qualified to
become the Deputy Universe Lord. I’ll take my leave now.”
James walked away after bidding farewell.
The Omnipotent Lord stopped him, “Wait.”
He took a step forward, appearing before James. The Omnipotent Lord looked at James approvingly and praised him, ‘You’re
quite impressive, James. I’m very satisfied with your performance in this battle. Although I can’t make you the Deputy Universe
Lord, the Ancestral Holy Site lacks a Protector. If you’re willing, you can take on that position. You’d only be beneath the
Universe Lord and Deputy Universe Lord.”
“Uhm...” James rubbed his chin, pretending to consider the offer.
The Omnipotent Lord said, “It’s the highest position I can offer you. The Ancestral Holy Site is where our universe’s luck gathers.
If you cultivate there, it’ll be greatly beneficial. With your potential, I’m sure you’ll surpass the Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank
and enter the Acme Rank soon.”
James cast a glance at the Omnipotent Lord. Knowledge of the Acme Rank is only known to powerhouses in the Dark World.
Beings from the Illuminated World were oblivious to the rank’s existence. However, the Omnipotent Lord clearly was aware of it.
Everything pointed to the likelihood that the Omnipotent Lord got help from the Watchers in the Dark World.
“If that’s the case, I’m more than happy to accept the offer.”
James did not turn him down.
“Haha! Good! Very good!”
The Omnipotent Lord patted James’ shoulder and laughed out loud.
“Once I step into the Acme Rank, and find the remaining Universe Seeds, I’ll stimulate the formation of these universes, and
merge them into a Super Universe. Then, we’ll join forces to bring down the Dark World.”
