Chapter 1991
Xain’s sword, which came from the Overworld, was forged using state-of-the-art swordsmithing techniques. As such, it
possessed enormous power. Even Herculeans could not snap the sword in half Now, however, it was devoured by the terrifying
Demonic Energy.
A chill ran down Xain’s spine. Although he was uninjured, the black lotus’ Demonic Energy was simply too malevolent. If
contaminated, he would not leave this place unscathed.
“What sorcery is this, James? How dare you cultivate a demon’s cultivation method as a human? You’re a disgrace to all of
humanity.”
Xain said coldly
James looked at him.
Even though his sword was gone, he was unscathed. This meant that he was much stronger than James had initially anticipated.
Thus, there was no guarantee that James could annihilate him. Besides, there were many others in the Overworld whose
strength was comparable to Xain’s. Should he be killed, many in the Overworld might be displeased.
After brief contemplation, James suppressed his aura and said with a smile, “As expected of a martial artist from the
Overworld... I’m thoroughly impressed. Let bygones be bygones, shall we? I didn’t come to Mount Bane to take anyone’s life.
Rather, I came for the sake of the earthlings.”
Hearing this, Xain breathed a sigh of relief.
Fearful of James’ strength, he was worried that he would go all-out.
“For the earthlings...?”
He looked at James puzzledly.
James said, “Not here... Should we talk elsewhere?”
“Please.”
Xain beckoned James to follow him.
Meanwhile, Samarth, who was comparable to Xain in strength, remained silent.
At the peak of Mount Bane....
This area was divided into a few regions, and each region was occupied by a sect from the Overworld. The sects that had
established a foothold on Mount Bane possessed immense influence and authority. and they were also considered some of the
greatest in the Overworld.
The main hall of the Sacerdotal Sect glittered in magnificent gold.
As James had demonstrated great strength, his abilities were acknowledged, and he was treated as an honorable guest.
He took a seat on a cushy chair, whereas Xain sat in the main seat.
A few disciples of the Sacerdotal Sect appeared with plates of mysterious fruits for James’ consumption. Such treatment was
unprecedented for an earthling.
“I believe this place is safe,” Xain looked at James and said.
James scanned his surroundings.
Only Samarth remained.
As he knew there were other powerful cultivators on Mount Bane, he said coldly, “I came here on behalf of Earth to negotiate
with the Overworld. I believe you’re unqualified to claim to represent all living beings of the Overworld. Why don’t you invite the
other cultivators on Mount Bane here?”
Only six years remained till the seal would be broken.
James intended to annihilate every single living being of the Overworld before then. However, he lacked the capability to do so.
That being said, he still had a few bargaining chips.
“Understood. I’ll invite them over right away.”
Xain immediately ordered, “Invite the cultivators on Mount Bane here immediately.”
“Understood”
A few disciples turned to leave.
Xain’s gaze was fixed on James all this while. He said, “Tell me the truth, James. Why do you have such powerful Demonic
Energy inside your body? What kind of Demonic Art have you cultivated?”
He was intrigued.
James, however, only smiled faintly and remained silent.
