James never once gave up. The moment he found a Macrocosm-Ranked elixir, he would immediately choose to refine it.
After refining yet another Macrocosm-Ranked elixir, the multicolored light James exuded disappeared. Then, he stood up and
stretched before furrowing his eyebrows and murmuring, “My strength didn’t increase at all. Maybe that bird was lying...”
James sighed. Now, he had no other option but to venture forward.
After scanning his surroundings and confirming his directions, he continued on his journey in search of Jabari and more
Macrocosm-Ranked elixirs.
The Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone was truly vast. There were some dangerous regions that James did not dare trespass.
After traversing through the barren mountain ranges, he arrived at a sea. The sea was bizarre as the surface of the water was
black. Black mist could be seen evaporating from the surface. Before he even approached the sea, James could sense a bizarre
power. Seeing that this region was strange and unknown, he did not wish to pass through.
Just as he planned to leave, however, he suddenly sensed a thread of aura left behind by Jabari in the air. Though the aura was
faint, he could still sense its presence.
“Jabari...”
James was overjoyed. After searching for so long, he finally found Jabari’s presence. It meant that Jabari was once here and
had lingered for some time.
He closed his eyes and tried sensing again. Under his sensation, he realized that Jabari had entered the bizarre sea. Without
any hesitation, he strode forward and walked toward the sea. Following the trace, he ventured deeper and deeper into the sea
and arrived outside an island. Jabari’s aura was getting increasingly stronger. This meant that Jabari was on the island.
However, he realized that there was a formation on the island. The formation was strong and must be the product of a powerful
individual that had surpassed the Lord Rank’s Ninth Stage. However, as many long years had passed, the formation’s power had
been substantially weakened. With James’ current strength, he could forcibly break through it. However, James was worried that
he could bring about turbulence if he forcibly barged in. Some unknown powers could be created, which could hurt Jabari in the
process.
James’ body flashed, and he arrived outside the formation.
The island was enveloped in the formation, which was formed by some mysterious halos, in which there was some unknown
power in circulation.
James reached out and touched the formation.
At that moment, the Formation was activated, and a powerful force shredded through the air. Even James unconsciously
staggered backward. However, that was everything the formation could muster.
Through some probing, James now understood the formation’s strength and was confident that he could barge in with ease. As
he catalyzed the Chaos Power inside his body, Chaos Power circulated throughout his body, and he strode forward toward the
island. The moment he stepped forward, he was already in the formation. Terrifying pressure charged toward him, and even
though he had catalyzed Chaos Power, his physical body suffered tremendously.
