James’ aura was too evil. Even Stephen and Xzavion were worried something would happen to James if he continued
cultivating.
Nonetheless, upon remembering that it was Franciscus’ inheritance and nothing happened to Franciscus, they believed that
James would be fine after cultivating it.
Stephen continued to absorb Igneous’ core.
On the other hand, Xzavion continued to fiddle with Igneous’ corpse.
Days passed.
In the blink of an eye, an epoch had passed in the outside world.
As for James and the others, a long time had passed in the time formation.
An epoch later in the outside world, Quattro returned.
His body descended from the sky and landed on the ground, crushing a mountain range. In dire straits, he got up from the
ground and appeared in the spiritual mountain James and the others were in.
“What happened?” Xzavion, who was idle, glanced at Quattro.
At this moment, Xzavion sensed a large group of living beings in the distance. Their auras were powerful. There were many
powerhouses in the Yuraeceon Rank.
‘What on earth did you do?” Xzavion reprimanded.
“I went to look for materials...” Inconfidently, Quattro said, “I didn’t expect to offend a Supersect of the Divine Genesis World and
be hunted down.”
“Piggy, come out.”
Outside the spiritual mountain, a roar sounded.
A middle-aged man in golden armor was in the lead. He held a Heaven-Piercer Halberd and appeared domineering.
Behind him were countless cultivators. The strong ones were in the Yuraeceon Rank while the weak ones were at the peak of
the Transcendental Bliss Rank.
The man in golden armor sensed a terrifying aura coming from the spiritual mountain ahead. He did not act hastily. Instead, he
stood outside the spiritual mountain.
Xzavion walked out of the time formation and appeared at the top of the spiritual mountain. Looking at the man in golden armor
in the distance, he sensed that the man’s cultivation rank was around the Yuraeceon Third Rank.
“What’s going on?” Xzavion had his arms behind his back. Even though he was facing a powerhouse in the Yuraeceon Third
Rank, he was calm.
The man in golden armor said, “That piggy barged into our sect and stole our sect’s treasure, the Genesis Crystal. He also took
everything in our herb garden.
We don’t want to make enemies with you guys. If you hand over the things that belong to our sect, we will retreat immediately.”
“Xzavion, don’t you dare.”
Quattro, who was injured, instantly said, “We aren’t in the Dark World right now.
We’re in the Three Thousand Genesis Worlds. Nothing is reasonable here. The worlds here only look up to powerful beings. Just
fight against them and make them retreat. There isn’t a need to negotiate with them.”
“You’re right.”
Stephen stood up and said, “In the outside world, one will be bullied if weak. We have to be more aggressive. We only have the
Genesis Crystal. It’s nothing valuable.”
‘Thank you.” Quattro gave Stephen a thumbs up and said, ” From now on, you’re my buddy. Since I’ve acknowledged you as my
buddy, you have to protect me.”
An epoch had passed in the outside world. Stephen had refined and absorbed Igneous’ core entirely.
Previously, his cultivation rank was in the Yuraeceon Fifth Rank.
Now, he had reached the peak of the Yuraeceon Seventh Rank. He was only a step away from the Yuraeceon Eighth Rank.
Besides, his foundation was solid.
If he were to go up against a powerhouse in the Yuraeceon Eighth Rank, he might have a chance of winning.
Stephen stepped on the void and walked out of the time formation. Appearing in the sky above the spiritual mountain, he stared
at the large group of living beings in the distance.
‘What will you do if we don’t give them back?”
Stephen’s voice sounded loudly throughout the area. He said, “They’re mere worldly possessions. Don’t take them too seriously.
If you leave right now, I’ll pretend you never came. Otherwise...”
The man in golden armor sensed Stephen’s aura. He could not help but frown.
“He’s at the peak of the Yuraeceon Seventh Rank?”
He took in a deep breath.
‘Where are you from? Tell me your name. The Divine Genesis World isn’t an easy target. We have a backbone in the Ancient
Genesis World. Please don’t attack your own people.”
The man in golden armor’s voice was loud and clear.
“Get lost...”
