Chapter 2515
“The Scythe of Judgment?”
Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows.
“Dad, what’s the Scythe of Judgment?” Winnie was puzzled.
The scythe inside her body was the Scythe of Judgment. However, not many people knew about this. Not even Winnie herself.
At that moment, the Spirit Tool arrived.
James greeted him respectfully, “Spirit Tool...”
The Spirit Tool waved his hand slightly and said, “No need to be so formal, Master.”
James asked, “What happened to Sophie?”
The Spirit Tool glanced at Winnie. Taking the hint, Winnie said smilingly, “I-I will go walk around the city.”
Then, she left.
James asked, “Alright, you may tell me the truth now.”
The Spirit Tool nodded and said, “By divining for you, Sophie had transgressed the rules of the Heavenly Path and was nearly
killed. If not for Winnie arriving in the nick of time, she would have been dead.”
After speaking, he took a deep breath.
“I thought Sophie would certainly die. However, she was saved by Winnie, a cultivator of an insignificant rank. That’s the Scythe
of Judgment we’re talking about, Master. Though the scythe can annihilate even Grand Emperors, Winnie was able to block the
attack. This is simply unbelievable.”
Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows.
The greater Winnie’s power, the more worried he was. However, he knew there was no point in worrying. This was Winnie’s fate,
after all.
Putting his thoughts aside, he asked, “How’s Sophie? Is she alright?”
The Spirit Tool said, “Although she survived, she suffered grave injuries. She needs a long time to recover
Hearing this, James breathed a sigh of relief. He was thankful that she was still alive.
Over the next couple of days, he did not linger long in the Celestial Abode. He only caught up with old friends and acquaintances
in the Celestial Abode as he still had important things to do. He had to find Xandros as soon as possible and bring him back to
Earth so that the human race would have a leader.
After leaving the Celestial Abode, James reappeared in Demon Abyss.
Although Sophie had entered a closed-door meditation, her power still lingered, protecting James.
James summoned the Demonic Lotus once more.
‘The Demonic Lotus can help me find Xandros, but how?’
James was puzzled.
At that moment, an afterimage materialized from within the Demonic Lotus.
Seeing this, James was taken aback and unconsciously staggered backward.
Hahaha.
The shadow laughed.
“Wh-Who are you?”
James looked at the shadow cautiously.
“I’m Xacobe Menachem,” the shadow spoke.
I-It’s you....?”
James was stunned. Xacobe Menachem was the previous owner of the Demonic Lotus.
“Of course! If not for the remnants of my soul hidden inside the Demonic Lotus, how could you have reshaped your physical
body?”
Hearing this, James took a deep breath and said, “So, there are still remnants of your soul concealed inside the Demonic Lotus.
This means that your soul has always been inside my body.”
“Yes,” the shadow spoke, “Once you arrive at Demon Abyss and summon the Demonic Lotus, I’ll appear.”
Chapter 2516
James never thought that the remnants of Xacobe’s soul still lingered in his body and that it was concealed inside the Demonic
Lotus even after his body was reshaped by the Demonic Lotus. Not only that, but he also did not expect that the remnants of
Xacobe’s soul would appear the moment he arrived at Demon Abyss and summoned the Demonic Lotus.
He looked at the shadow before him puzzledly and asked, “Why did you appear when I summon the Demonic Lotus in Demon
Abyss?”
Xacobe’s shadow said, “I was the one who brought Xandros Tegan, the lord of the Human Realm, to this place alongside the
Azurean Clan’s Patriarch, who was also lord of the Demon Realm. Back then, I left. behind some marks here. As long as the
Demonic Lotus appears here, the remnants of my soul will sense it.”
Hearing this, James was baffled.
Sensing James’ bewilderment, Xacobe explained, “This is complicated, and you won’t understand anyway even if I told you. All
you need to know is that I’ll help you find Xandros. This is my final duty. After accomplishing it, I’ll vanish once and for all.”
Xacobe was not fearful of death at all. After living for countless years and experiencing everything, he no longer had any regrets
in life.
“Follow me.”
He turned to leave.
James followed him.
Following close behind Xacobe’s shadow, James traversed through Demon Abyss. There were many Magic Circles left behind
during the Primeval Age. Under Xacobe’s guidance, James proceeded into the depths of the Demon Abyss.
After a long time, they arrived at the central region of the Demon Abyss.
Xacobe waved his hand, and mysterious characters materialized in his palm. These characters levitated in the air and vanished.
Then, an ancient Magic Circle was awakened, and cracks began to appear on the ground.
The shadow turned to look at James and pointed at the cracks before them, saying, “Xandros is trapped here. Go down and
you’ll meet him.”
Then, he slowly dispersed into nothingness and disappeared from James’ view.
A black aura materialized from within the cracks.
James glanced at the cracks. Since he was unable to observe the situation below, he hesitated momentarily before leaping into
the cracks.
He plummeted through the air.
Soon, he arrived at the bottommost part, where a cave could be seen. There, a stone door remained shut.
James gently pushed the door open.
Creak...
The door, which had been closed for unknown years, was opened. Puzzledly, James walked into the room. This was a small
stone house that was only a few hundred square meters in size. In the middle of
