Xezal’s power had increased significantly compared to the beginning of the fight.
Just moments ago, she was almost even matched with James. But now, her strength had surpassed him significantly.
After the direct confrontation, James suffered a major injury. At the same time, his body was blasted into the distance by the
explosion’s force.
Xezal relentlessly chased after him, continuously launching fierce attacks.
Seeing that James was distracted by Xezal, the other powerhouses quickly charged at the formation again.
James paid Xezal no attention. He quickly dashed to the formation to block the powerhouses’ attacks, protecting the formation
from sustaining any damage.
After repelling them, he cast a Supernatural Power and teleported the formation to a desolate ruin in the distance.
James placed the black palace down and released the Death Demon from his storage.
While inside the storage, the Death Demon had been recuperating wholeheartedly. His injuries had been healed, and his
strength had already recovered. Additionally, his cultivation base had also improved, and he had reached the middle stage of the
Terra Acme Rank.
“What’s the matter, Master?”
The Death Demon instantly sensed the unusual power from the surroundings and gasped. Shocked, he asked, “W-What the hell
is going on?”
“Death Demon, I need you to guard this formation. Don’t let anyone damage it,” James quickly issued an order.
James had sensed Xezal summoning inscription sigils in the distance, and it seemed like she was setting up a formation.
He was alarmed and knew he had to prevent her from setting up a formation. Otherwise, he would be restricted, and protecting
Soren would become difficult.
James quickly charged at Xezal and slashed his sword. A powerful Sword Energy erupted and darted toward Xezal.
Xezal raised her hand, and a circle of light burst out. It swept forward, blocking James’ Sword Energy.
James’ Sword Energy was shattered and dispersed into nothingness.
However, James had already disappeared from sight. He suddenly reappeared directly in front of Xezal and shattered a few of
her inscription sigils.
Meanwhile, the other powerhouses attempted to break the formation again.
The Death Demon saw the large group of powerhouses and urged all his strength to fight them. However, he was injured
instantly after trying to repel them.
After James destroyed Xezal’s formation, he quickly charged toward the group of powerhouses. He blocked their attacks and
forced them away again.
Fortunately, he had comprehended the Blithe Omniscience. Otherwise, he would be unable to simultaneously deal with Xezal
and defend the formation from the group of powerhouses.
Once again, James managed to temporarily protect the formation. Despite that, Xezal was too strong of an opponent. In terms of
strength, she was superior and repeatedly inflicted injuries upon him.
“Damn it.” James sustained another wound from Xezal.
He flew over to the formation and hovered above it. He raised his sword and slashed the void above him.
A terrifying burst of Sword Energy emerged and struck the void.
A powerhouse hiding in the void was exposed instantly.
Unexpectedly, another powerhouse ambushed James. A powerful force struck his back, causing his back to bend.
The fierce battle continued in the Cloud Universe.
The majority of the Cloud Universe’s area was destroyed.
Thea anxiously watched James entangled in the intense battle from the dark. She asked worriedly, “Do you need help, James?
James quickly replied to her telepathically, “Stay hidden, Thea. Your cultivation base hasn’t recovered to its prime. Moreover,
you’re pregnant. These cultivators are the strongest of the Greater Realms. Any one of these peak Terra Acmeans can easily
suppress you. If you expose yourself now, it will only distract me.”
“But...”
“No buts. Even if I die, I’ll make sure Soren survives.”
James did not say anything more to Thea.
He floated above the black palace and stared at the dozens of peak Terra Acmeans around him.
The group of powerhouses simultaneously attacked the black palace with all their strength.
James unleashed his powers and formed a barrier around the black palace.
