Lucjan was a bit fearful of the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect. He did not wish to engage in a battle to the death with her at this moment. However, Thea ignored him. She only wanted to kill Lucjan. He was the Sect Leader of the Gu Sect and James’ greatest enemy. If she allowed him to return to Sol alive, he would cause endless trouble for James. Clenching the sheathed Malevolent Sword, she exuded a powerful aura. Back then, during the Mount Thunder Conference where she was covered in the Spirit Turtle’s blood, her blood had blended with the creature’s. Now, her blood contained terrifying power. All this while, she had been cultivating hard, converting the power inside her blood into True Energy. In the Frosty Swamp of Medical Valley, she came across the Book of Malice by a pleasant coincidence. Through the Book of Malice, she cultivated Demonic Breath and Murderous Energy. Demonic Breath absorbed the True Frost Energy of Spiritual Palm, and her True Energy reached even grea

“Hey!” James shouted. However, Thea had already left. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from his view. Furrowing his eyebrows, James muttered, “Who is the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect? Why did he save me multiple times? Could it be Grandpa?” James immediately thought of his grandfather, Thomas Caden. The thought flashed through his mind, but he shook his head. He could smell a fragrance on that person. Besides, her skin was soft and smooth. Although she was wearing a mask, she had long black hair. Theoretically, she should be a young woman. “Who could it be?” James could not figure out the identity of the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader. He did not even think of Thea. After all, this was simply too unbelievable. However, he can be sure of one thing─she was impudent. So impudent, in fact, that she returned to exterminate Lucjan Owen and the First Blood Emperor who was ranked first on the Elysian Ranking. Since he was concerned about the Sect Leader of the Celestial

Callan knew that Lucjan must have been up to no good. So, he ambushed the Gu Sect and saved the martial artists who were abducted. Though he had the antidote, he chose to remain silent about it. He planned to leave it to James to allow him to win them over. After exterminating the Gu Sect, he left, leaving behind the dumbfounded martial artists. “I-Is that Callan Maverick?” Archbishop Polaris was among them. Upon overhearing the conversation between Callan and the Gu Sect, he froze. He thought that Callan was dead. However, it turned out that he was still alive and as powerful as ever. He turned his head. Terrifying energy waves were still radiating from Mount Olympus. He knew that a fierce battle was still raging on. “Everyone, retreat!” As a martial artist ranked second on the Elysian Ranking, he stepped forward and stabilized the situation. On Mount Olympus… Thea was fighting one against two. With her invincible sword technique, she managed to gradually come out on t

”Did he leave just like that?” The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect left, and so did Thomas. Only James remained. Standing on the top of Mount Olympus, which had been reduced to rubble, James scanned his surroundings. He stroked his chin, deep in thought. He was suspicious of the Sect Leader’s identity. “Fragrance… Soft and smooth skin… Woman… Malevolent Sword… Thea?” All clues pointed to one person─Thea Callahan. Thea possessed the Malevolent Sword. He saw her wielding the sword multiple times. However, he dismissed those thoughts immediately. He found the very idea itself preposterous. How did Thea become so strong? It was impossible. He planned to question Thea upon his return to Sol. Thea had secretly returned after leaving. She was concerned about James’ safety but she did not show herself. Instead, she concealed herself in the shadows. Seeing that Lucjan and the Blood Emperor had escaped and Thomas had shown himself, she breathed a sigh of relief. Wearing a

“James Caden…” Just as Polaris beckoned for James to follow him, a few armored knights walked over to them and stopped James from leaving. James turned his head. He knew they were Koehler’s knights in a single glance. “Is something the matter?” He asked. A knight asked, “James, how was the situation on Mount Olympus? How’s Koehler Keyes? Is he dead or alive?” “He’s dead.” James continued, “He was nearing his end, anyway. Even without the battle, he wouldn’t live for long. During that fierce battle, he used up all of his strength, which caused his power to dissipate. Besides, he also suffered grave injuries. He’s dead. His corpse is now lying on Mount Olympus.” Upon hearing this, a few knights staggered backward. Their faces were pale. James simply turned to leave. Meanwhile, Polaris beckoned everyone to follow him. “Everyone, feel free to come along with me to the Polaris Sect. We’ll wait for James to concoct the antidote.” “Let’s go!” “Let’s go to the Polaris Sec
