Yandel chose to concede defeat and prayed that James would spare his life. James, on the other hand, simply glared at him. Deep in contemplation, he wondered if he should use this opportunity to strike fear in the Overworld Outsiders’ hearts by annihilating Yandel. However, he was also concerned that this would have the opposite effect and instead incur the Overworld’s wrath. In such a scenario, the earthlings would be their target of reprisal. Although he was unafraid of the Overworld, the same could not be said about the earthlings. Besides, after the fierce battle, he began to understand more about his body. His body was imbued with powerful Demonic Energy, but the energy would be depleted every time he suffered an injury. At the moment, he no longer had much Demonic Energy inside his body. Indeed, he could feel his recovery speed gradually slowing down. It made James realize that he was not invincible. There was a limit to his recovery. Once his Demonic Energy was deplete

Xandra could not believe her ears. She knew how powerful the Overworld and the figures guarding Mount Bane were. Thus, she did not expect James to be able to fight them to a standstill. “I’m not sure if I can sense the magical object’s specific location. But since Mount Bane is safe now, I’ll head over there immediately. Wait for me, James. I’ll be there within a day.” “Alright, then.” James hung up the phone. Then, he sat in a lotus position on the ground and absorbed Empyrean Spiritual Energy to replenish the Demonic Energy within his body. His Demonic Energy had been depleted after the battle. It was not the True Lunar and Terra Energy he cultivated, nor was it his physical prowess. As Empyrean Spiritual Energy entered his body, the Demonic Energy that was depleted slowly replenished. After some time, as his Demonic Energy was restored, James became energetic. He did not leave but instead waited patiently. Before daybreak, Xandra Lafleur arrived. She was wearing a pa

No one believed James was still alive. They thought his message was a prank. [What kind of sick joke is this?] [Enter Mount Bane as we please? Finders keepers? Hasn’t this guy heard of the Overworld?] [This must be the Overworld’s doing. They must be bored and wanted to lure us over there.] Many interacted on the forum. After posting the message, James did not immediately leave but instead stayed to observe their reactions. Seeing that no one believed him, he scratched his nose. Then, he posted another message. [I am James Caden of Wyrmstead. I am still alive, and I have returned. On Mount Bane, I annihilated Matias Judah, the man who slaughtered dozens from the state of Japura and fought against many Overworld Outsiders.] [I fought Xain Judah, Samarth Carter, Wynter Freya, Yandel Harlow, and Leandro Xamir to a standstill alone, thereby earning the right to enter negotiations with them. In the end, I managed to obtain many benefits for us all.] James briefly describ

Maxine learned that James was still alive. To verify the truth, she headed to Mount Bane overnight. In the silence of the night, there was a bonfire at the foot of Mount Bane. James was discussing matters with Xandra when a group of people appeared in the distance. In the lead was a man wearing a white robe, his skin fair and delicate. He was holding a white pearl the size of a fist in his hand. The pearl glimmered a faint light, and there was a black dot darting about inside the pearl. However, as if sensing something, the pearl in his hand trembled violently. Then, a black aura gushed toward the pearl. In an instant, the white pearl was now completely dark. “What?” The man was stunned. “What terrifying Demonic Energy…” He had never sensed such majestic Demonic Energy in his world. The pearl in his hand was an invincible treasure gifted to him by his master that was capable of sensing the presence of Supreme Spiritual Roots that were contaminated by Demonic Energy. A man

Marcello left alongside his entourage. After they left, his subordinate asked, “Young Master, how could you gift him such a precious token?” Marcello briefly contemplated before saying, “He has the Demonic Body, so he’ll be ostracized by humans sooner or later. When that comes to pass, he’ll become an asset to the Demon Race. Giving the token to him in advance is akin to paving the way for him. Once he reaches a dead end, joining us will be his only choice.” “How wise of you…” Meanwhile, Marcello took out the pearl once more, which had returned to normal. “The Supreme Spiritual Root… I never expected that there would be someone who possesses the Supreme Spiritual Root by James’ side. However, I can’t make a move on her for now. I should bide my time,” he murmured. Then, he waved his arm, and powerful True Energy gathered in his palm. True Energy entered the mysterious pearl, and the black dot disappeared. Then, he catalyzed True Energy and imbued it within the mysterious pear
