Chapter 2029
James could not believe his luck.
Of all people, he was worried that he would be pitted against Marcello or the Son of Heaven. The two
of them had long crossed into the Herculean rank, whereas he, on the other hand, had only just
reached the Supernatural rank. Even his Inner Gates were untouched. Now, the only thing he could
rely on was his physical body.
However, even though his physical body was strong, he was still weaker than those at the Supernatural
Consummation rank.
Though his physical strength had increased after cultivating inside the Celestial Abode, his hopes of
defeating the Son of Heaven were close to non-existent.
The Son of Heaven nced at James as a faint smile crept up on his face.
The only person he was afraid of was Marcello as he could not see through him. When he heard that
James would be his opponent, he breathed a sigh of relief. He would definitely emerge victorious.
James believed that the shadow’s decision was unfair. He wanted to obtain the Celestial Abode, but he
did not wish to fight against the Son of Heaven.
“May I know how the distribution works? Do you assign our opponents based on strength?” James
voiced his doubts.
The shadow shook its head slightly and said, “No, this was a random distribution. However, since you
were able to make it here, the disparity in strength between you and your opponent shouldn’t be that
great. At most, you’ll only be slightly weaker, so it’s only natural to distribute them randomly. Do you
have any objections?”
The shadow looked in James’ direction.
“Of course.” James stepped forward and said, “My cultivation base is weak. Besides, I’ve only just
crossed into the Supernatural rank, and I’ve yet to release a single Inner Gate. He, on the other hand,
is at least a Herculean. The disparity between us is huge.”
“Is that so?” The shadow nced at the Son of Heaven before looking at James, giggling. “In that case,
why don’t I grant you the right to jump straight to the ninth barrier if him?”
“Really?”
James was overjoyed.
Jumping straight to the ninth barrier after defeating the Son of Heaven?

They were currently at the sixth barrier. Even if he passed this barrier, there would still be three more
barriers ahead of him. By jumping straight to the ninth barrier, his chances of obtaining the Celestial
Abode were high.
James was eager to try. Although he did not know how powerful a Herculean was, he believed he
stood a chance.
“Do you ept the challenge?” The shadow looked at James.
In truth, it had been observing their actions from behind the scenes. As the Spirit Tool of this Celestial
Abode, it had a clear understanding of everyone’s strength.
James’ performance along the way was simply too distinguished, especially how fast he learned things.
Besides, it could sense that James’ body was different from the rest.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
The nine barriers were left behind by the previous owner of the Celestial Abode. However, there were
no guarantees that one would obtain the Celestial Abode upon passing all nine barriers. There were
still remnants of the previous owner’s soul inside this ce. Without his recognition, no one would have
the right to have the Celestial Abode for themselves.
The previous owner was searching for a true genius, a man with enormous potential who could receive
his inheritance. Of all men, the shadow had its eyes on James. Though he was weak when he began
the challenge, he managed to make his way here to the sixth barrier with his hard work and incredible
cultivation speed.
Now, it wanted to see James’ true strength for himself.
“I do.” James’ voice boomed.
How could he turn down such an offer? This was the closest he was to the Celestial Abode. As such,
he would not and could not turn down the shadow’s offer.
“You must have a death wish.” The Son of Heaven red at James and grunted. Though he was
displeased by the shadow’s partiality, he did not reveal his thoughts.
After deciding on the first matchup, the shadow looked at the others and continued assigning
opponents.
