The Daemonium Sect had already seen through Waleria’s disguise.
After confirming her identity, the powerhouses of the Daemonium Sect in Theos District’s outer regions were dispatched to
search for Waleria and James.
James and Waleria had hidden their auras while traveling through the Endlos Void. However, the Daemonium Sect had
countless powerhouses, and it was easy for them to trace them.
Meanwhile, James was still focused on absorbing the power of the Acmean Berry inside a time formation on a spiritual mountain
somewhere in an unknown universe.
Although James’ Path Powers were restricted, he could still create a simple time formation.
The Acmean Berry’s energy was very majestic. James had been refining it for days, and his bloodline power had been improving
rapidly.
Soon, he had completely refined all of the Acmean Berry’s energy.
His new bloodline power had reached the Quasi Acme Rank just as he had predicted.
However, he would need a lot of energy to raise his bloodline power to the Permanence Acme Rank. One or two
Empyrean Berries was simply insufficient.
James dispersed the time formation and checked the time.
Three years had passed in the outside world.
“Waleria is still in seclusion. Should I go search for some Empyrean herbs in this universe?” James murmured.
Although the universe was not powerful enough to produce Acmean Herbs, it could grow Ancestral Herbs.
However, James quickly dismissed the idea. He wanted to do his best since he had already agreed to be Waleria’s bodyguard.
Instead of searching for herbs himself, he could ask Waleria for them. As a powerhouse of the Theos Sect, she must be carrying
plenty of Empyrean herbs with her.
James sat down and waited patiently for Waleria.
Five years later, he sensed a compelling aura nearby.
James immediately panicked.
Waleria showed up and said frantically, “The Daemonium Sect’s powerhouses have found us. We need to leave instantly.”
James looked at her. He had not seen for a while, and her appearance had changed slightly. She no longer looked like a
teenager but a beautiful young woman. More importantly, she had reached the Quasi Acme Rank, and her aura had become
stronger.
Waleria shouted, “Why are you still standing there? Let’s go!
Hurry and get us out of here!”
James said, “It’s already too late.”
After he finished speaking, a black cloud appeared in the distance, and countless powerhouses dressed in black robes and
masks emerged.
The person in the lead was an elderly man with a cane.
It was none other than the Daemonium Sect’s Elder, which James had already met before.
His name was Xylon Macri, and he was a powerhouse at the late stage of the Caelum Acme Rank.
The black cloud swept over, and countless powerhouses from the Daemonium Sect surrounded the mountain range.
“Charge!!!”
Waleria stared at them solemnly. Her pretty face darkened, and she said coldly, “Pave the way for me, even if it costs your life.”
James replied, “No way. I’m just a bodyguard you employed, not your loyal subordinate. It’s not my duty to sacrifice for you.”
“If you get me out of here, I’ll give you ten Acmean Herbs.” Waleria glanced at James.
James was her only hope right now. Her strength had only recovered till the Quasi Acme Rank, and she could not escape their
besiegement.
James said, “Ten is too little for me to put my life on the
line. I want at least fifty “
Not that James wanted to swindle her, but he desperately needed Empyrean herbs.
Waleria replied solemnly, “I don’t have that many. Help me out of here first. When I recover and return to the Theos Sect, I’ll give
them to you. How about that?”
“Okay, deal.” James smiled brightly.
