This was the Western Border. Ambitious and power-hungry, the Blithes dreamed of unifying the ancient martial world and ruling over the world. Thus, anyone who ran wild in the Blithes’ territory was unforgivable. If Flynn did not do anything, the Blithes would be the laughingstock of the world if word about the incident spread. He knew that the elderly man before him was a highly skilled martial artist, but he was unafraid. His face darkened, and he clenched his fists. Then, he took a step forward. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared before James. He aimed at his chest and struck. The speed was unrivaled, and the power was immense. No ordinary man would react in time. Even James was somewhat shocked by the speed of Flynn’s attack. However, he was undaunted. After all, Flynn’s attacks would have no effect on him. Flynn was a fourth-rank. Though James did not know what rank he was currently in, Spencer had transferred all of his peak seventh-rank True Energy to him. Ev

In the foyer of a luxurious villa on the mountaintop, Donovan was conversing with a few ancient martial artists. At that moment, a disciple of the Blithe family walked in and knelt, “Maxine Caden has arrived.” Upon hearing this, the foyer fell silent. Everyone fixed their gaze on Donovan. Donovan invited them here to Mount Littleroot for a simple reason ─ To witness how the Blithes would crush the Cadens and proclaim to the world that they are the number one family of Sol. At long last, Maxine has arrived. “Is the show about to begin?” “Are the Cadens not afraid of the Blithe family’s strength?” “Is Maxine here alone? Where’s Tobias?” The crowd murmured. Donovan asked smilingly, “Is Maxine alone?” “Yes.” “Where’s Tobias?” “He’s nowhere to be seen.” Upon hearing this, Donovan’s smile froze. Then, his face darkened, and he walked out of the villa. The others followed close behind. Several hundred people were gathered outside. From afar, a woman walked toward

From the appearance of the God-King Palace’s martial artists to Tobias, who was levitating in mid-air, James immediately knew this was not truly him. It was Thea in disguise. After all, only the God-King token which she possessed could mobilize the men of the God-King Palace. “Are they here to save me?” James calmed down. Thea must have impersonated Tobias and brought the God-King Palace here at Mount Littleroot to save him. One could also surmise that Tobias had given up on him and Maxine to avoid antagonizing the Blithe family. In the air… Thea, who was impersonating Tobias, pointed his sword at Donovan and said coldly, “Donovan Blithe, where is James? Hand him over at once. Otherwise, blood will be spilled.” “Kill!” Below, the Four Protectors, the Ten Elders, the Thirty-Seven Stars, and the Seventy-Two Demons cried out in unison. It was a deafening cry, and the crowd unconsciously took a few steps back. Thea was nervous. This was a last resort. If Donovan compr

Seeing that Thea, who was disguised as Tobias, was about to leave with Maxine, Donovan dashed forward. He leaped into the air and raised his arm. Powerful energy gathered in his palm, which turned into a tornado. Meanwhile, James catalyzed True Energy and dissipated the energy that was gathering in Donovan’s palm. At that moment, he could sense a terrifying energy burst forward. The energy made his arm go numb, and he hurriedly took a few steps back. Donovan, whose energy was forcibly dissipated, suffered a blow. He also took a few steps back. After steadying himself, his face darkened as he glared at James. “Who the hell is this guy? How does he have such powerful True Energy?” He was stunned. Donovan was a martial artist who was at peak sixth rank and was near to making a breakthrough into the seventh rank. The Grand Patriarchs aside, he was invincible in the ancient martial world. Besides, with the Blithe Fist of Abomination, he stood a chance against those old geezers.

Thea, who was disguised as Tobias, fled alongside Maxine. After a while, Maxine stopped in her tracks. Looking at Thea, she said, “You should go, Thea. I’ll stay and think of a way to save James.” Thea said, “James has already escaped. He was that old man earlier.” “What? Is that true?” Maxine exclaimed. “Yup, I could tell from his voice. We should leave now.” “In that case, I can’t leave James behind. Thea, you should retreat with the martial artists of the God-King Palace,” Maxine said before she ran back. “What the hell?” Thea frowned. Seeing that Maxine was running back to where they had fled, Thea ordered her subordinates of the God-King Palace, “Retreat.” “Understood,” they said in unison. The martial artists of the God-King Palace swiftly retreated. Meanwhile, Thea chased after Maxine. Upon returning to the mountaintop, the two saw James, who was disguised as an old man, fighting against Donovan. They saw how James beat Donovan to a pulp. Not only that, Donov
