Nico yelled harshly, “Did you really think the Heavenly Court is that powerless?”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to summon an illusory palm and sent it at the Sixth Universe challenger. The man from the Sixth
Universe intended to flee, but it was already too late. The surrounding area was sealed off, and the palm struck him. Then, a
powerful formation appeared and confined him.
Nico met James in the Boundless Realm. Back then, Nico was a Grand Emperor, and was highly accomplished. After more than
an Epoch, he had grown much more proficient. He was already an Ancestral God who had cultivated countless Paths.
Now, he was considered a powerhouse of the Heavenly Court. Although he was not a peerless powerhouse, his strength was
not something to be taken lightly.
Nico let out a cold snort, “Take him away.”
A few Heavenly Court’s soldiers appeared and carried off the man from the Sixth Universe to the Heavenly Court.
Henry appeared in front of Maxine and smiled brightly. He asked, “Are you alright?”
Maxine glanced at Henry and grumbled, “The Twelfth Universe isn’t exactly the most stable at the moment. What if the Heavenly
Court offends other powerhouses from the other universes by getting involved in this matter?”
Henry said calmly, “If we offend them, so be it. It’s not a big deal. If it were anyone else’s matter, I would’ve ignored it. However,
you were involved. James isn’t here right now. How could I explain myself if something happened to you before he returns?
“James...”
Maxine fell into a daze, and a figure appeared in her mind.
She had not heard James’ name for a very long time. She did not know where James was.
“Huff.” She sighed and dismissed her thoughts.
“Why were you fighting that man from the Sixth Universe?” asked Henry.
Maxine said, “No particular reason. He was attracted to me and wanted to marry me. I turned him down, so he wanted to show
off his strength to convince me. I wasn’t even using my full strength in that fight. Otherwise, I would’ve killed him in mere
minutes.”
Maxine was incredibly confident. However, a senior had reminded her not to use the power of her tenth Path. He sensed there
would be great consequences after sensing her tenth Path’s Power.
“Alright. I’ll head back to the Heavenly Court first. In accordance with the Heavenly Court’s rules, I’ll expel him from the Twelfth
Universe. The next time he enters the Twelfth Universe, he’ll be killed with no mercy.”
Henry spoke briefly, then turned to leave.
Maxine did not linger. After Henry left, she also quickly departed.
Seeing James’ friends leave the area, Henrik asked James, “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to reunite with them?”
James shook his head lightly and said, “As long as they’re fine, I’m okay with not meeting them. This isn’t a good time. We’ll
reunite when the time is right.”
“Then where are you going next?” asked Henrik.
James said, “The Cadens’ base is in Mount Bane. I’d like to go visit their residence.”
James missed his family. Although the relationship between him and his father was strained, they were still family. He missed his
mother, Xandra, the most. James had not seen her for such a long time.
Previously, Xandra was corrupted with Demonic Energy. He brought her to Yaraka to expel her Demonic Energy. Later, she was
sent to a mysterious place to cultivate. Now that the Four Calamities were over, his mother should have returned to their family
after so many years.
Moreover, he also wanted to see his daughter, Xandra, and his son, Jacopo.
He was curious about how his family members were doing now.
