Chapter 1997


    Leandro Xamir was the butler of the Son of Heaven, a mere servant. However, as the Son of


    Heaven wielded enormous influence, no one dared cross Leandro. Under normal circumstances,


    his words represented the Son of Heaven. Upon seeing James’ terrifying strength, he intended to


    exterminate him on Mount Bane.


    They looked at one another and nodded.


    “I have long wished to annihte him,” Xain said.


    After James killed his disciple, he had been thinking of ways to enact revenge. However, he was


    afraid of James’ strength. Now that they joined forces, he was no longer intimidated.

    In the distance, Yandel was covered in blood, his hair disheveled. He looked at James furiously and


    roared, “You’ve provoked me, you b*stard! I’ll tear you to pieces!”


    Fwoosh!


    At that moment, the sound of the wind could be heard.


    James scanned his surroundings.


    Xain, Wynter, Samarth, and Leandro had appeared, blocking his path to retreat. They all exuded


    terrifying auras.


    All of them had broken free of the Nine Inner Gates and were now at the Supernatural


    Consummation rank. As they were merely a few steps away from reaching the Herculean rank, they


    possessed enormous strength. Their aura began to form a powerful maic field.


    Trapped in the middle, James could feel terrifying pressure from all sides. James began to have


    trouble breathing. In just a short amount of time, he was showing signs of plummeting from the sky.


    As he discharged waves of Demonic Energy, he turned to look at his opponents.


    “Ganging up on me now?”


    He smirked coldly.


    Leandro said coldly, “As a descendant of sinners, not only did you not repent, but you even followed


    the path of your ancestors. Today, I shall exterminate you for the sake of humanity.”


    “Hahaha!”


    James burst into a peal ofughter.


    “For the sake of humanity? Don’t make meugh.”


    “Leandro, no need to waste your breath on him. Just do it.” Samarth said.


    Saying that, he brandished his sword.


    Though his sword looked ordinary from the outside, it radiated a white blinding light as it left its


    sheath.


    He was the first to make a move.


    In the blink of an eye, he appeared before James and shed at James’ chest.


    Before even making contact with the sword, James could feel a terrifying pressure emanating from


    within.


    Immediately, the ck lotus below him appeared in front of him and blocked the attack. As the


    glimmering white light pierced through the ck lotus, it was immediately devoured.


    As Samarth knew how terrifying the ck lotus and Demonic Energy were, he hurriedly abandoned


    his sword and retreated for fear of being contaminated by the Demonic Energy the ck lotus


    possessed.


    James now had a murderous look on his face. It appeared that negotiations would not go through


    by ying nice.


    He had no choice but to engage in a battle against them. Though he did not wish to resort to


    violence, he had no other choice.


    “Argh!”


    Like a ferocious beast, he roared.


    Many living beings hade from the Overworld in the vicinity of Mount Bane over the past three


    years.


    James’ appearance and his battle against Matias had spread far and wide. Sensing the energy


    fluctuations in the air, many hurriedly made their way there to spectate the battle. Although they


    were not as strong as Xain, Samarth, Yandel, and the others, they were no pushovers either.


    In a short amount of time, thousands gathered. Upon seeing James surrounded by some of the


    most powerful figures of the Overworld, they were stunned.
