James and Talvelai met up in a desolate area of the Dark World.
Talvelai looked at James and said solemnly, Tm afraid the battle will be fierce.
The Yefteros have given up so many benefits. The other races will definitely go all out. It will not be an easy hurdle for you and
the Central Plane to overcome.” “Yeah,” James nodded lightly and said, “I’m well aware. I have to head back and make
immediate preparations. I’ll try to intercept the Dark World’s powerhouses outside the plane. I don’t want the battle to reach the
Central Plane.”
Talvelai looked at him and asked, “How confident are you?”
After briefly thinking about it, James replied, “I’m not very confident. It depends on how many powerhouses are hidden amongst
the Dark World’s various races.
I’ll surely win if the Dark World’s overall strength is as on the surface. However, the odds will change if many hidden
powerhouses show up.”
“What do you need me to do?” asked Talvelai.
James answered, “You continue hiding for now. During a critical moment of the battle, I need you to inflict severe damage on one
of the Yefteros’ powerhouses.
Since the Yefteros are the initiators, I doubt the other races will go all out. The battle will end once we kill one of the Yefteros’
main forces.”
“Alright.” Talvelai nodded.
“I’ll take my leave.” James bid farewell and disappeared into the darkness. The next moment, he appeared in another dark
space. He took out some Boundarybreaker Runes and traveled rapidly.
Soon, he arrived back in the Central Plane.
Many powerhouses gathered inside the Elysium Hall’s main hall.
Xeraiah also stayed in the Elysium Hall to obtain firsthand information about the Dark World’s situation.
The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had already conveyed the situation of the Dark World. Thus, Xeraiah and the many powerhouses
in the Elysium Hall knew the details.
James looked at the powerhouses in the main hall.
Qiyana had returned with Qairo. The Shadowers’ Great Commander, Jurryt, was also present. In addition, he brought Saeylla
and some other powerful subordinates.
“James,” the powerhouses in the hall greeted him.
“You’re back, General!” Quattro stood up from the highest seat. He offered his seat to James, saying while smiling,” Please have
a seat.”
James walked over and sat down. He looked at Qairo and asked, “You fought against Xayvion before, so you should know about
his strength, right? With your current strength, what are your chances of defeating him?”
Previously, four powerhouses joined forces to attack Xayvion. However, their attempt failed.
Qairo received a blessing after the countless planes were merged. Even though his cultivation rank had not changed, his
strength had improved significantly.
After briefly thinking about it, Qairo replied, “I have a rough understanding of his strength. If I fight him now, it should be a fifty-
fifty chance. I might be slightly weaker than him, even. However, it’s not a wide gap. Even if I can’t kill him, he won’t be able to
obliterate me either.”
James nodded lightly, looked at Xeraiah, and asked, “What about you?”
Xeraiah said thoughtfully, “I’ve never fought him, but I’ve sensed his aura. We should be on equal standing. Even if I’m weaker, I
doubt I’m that far off from him. If I join forces with Qairo, we can suppress him.”
James had a solemn expression. Even after Qairo and Xeraiah’s strength improved, they were still unable to take down Xayvion
alone. They had to work together just to suppress him. Killing Xayvion proved to be much more difficult than he thought.
James sat in the highest seat. He scanned and compared the powerhouses gathered in the hall to the Dark World’s forces.
After a brief evaluation, James concluded he had a good chance of winning.
As long as many of the Yefteros’ powerhouses were wiped out, the other races would withdraw their troops out of fear.
“Alright, everyone’s dismissed. Go prepare and wait for our enemies to strike.”
James waved his hand.
