Chapter 2659


    James said, “Then let’s take a detour.”


    The demaster of Mount Grinch shook his head and said, “This is the only way to reach the Seafolk.


    There are many space storms and dimensional cracks above the oceans. If we take a detour and end


    up in these rifts, we’re going to die.”


    ‘Then what should we do?” Walganus was anxious.


    “Let’s turn back.”


    The demaster of Mount Grinch thought for a while and said, “In my current state, I won’t be able to


    defeat the dragon even if I give up my life for it. However, I’ll be able to live a little longer if we head


    back where we came.”


    Walganus immediately said, “No way. We’re so close to the Seafolk’s territory. How can we give up so


    easily? Let’s fight together. We might be able to kill the dragon if we team up.”


    Hearing this, the demaster of Mount Grinch cast a nce at Walganus.


    “It’s not like I’m trying to underestimate you, young man, but what will you use to fight the dragon?”


    The demaster of Mount Grinch could not ascertain Walganus’ cultivation rank, but he assumed


    Walganus’ was not very powerful since he was rtively young.


    James said, “Let’s give it a try. It might work.”


    They had already traveled so far, so James was also unwilling to abandon their quest at this stage.


    Moreover, the matter concerned his return to Earth. He would not forfeit the journey even if he had to


    resort to exposing his real strength.


    Walganus looked at James and grinned. “Although I might be weak, James here is powerful. You


    shouldn’t underestimate him. He has quite a few treasures in his possession.”


    Walganus knew about James’ identity and history. He was aware James was from


    Earth and that he was Earth’s greatest champion who had a number of excellent boons. If he


    encountered James anywhere else, he would have already stolen James’ treasures.


    Right now, he was eyeing the treasures that James was about to obtain.


    The demaster of Mount Grinch looked at James.


    He could tell that James had not even stepped into the Sage Rank.


    However, he also heard of how James recently eliminated a number of Sages in a single move.


    After some brief contemtion, he said, “Alright. We’ll give it a shot, but we’ll forfeit the rest of the


    journey if it doesn’t work.”


    “Mhm.” James nodded.

    Afterward, the demaster of Mount Grinch treated his wounds. After healing his injuries, he steered


    the battleship back on their original path. Eventually, they chanced upon the dragon once more.


    A storm suddenly appeared in the waters ahead of them.


    The dragon flew out from the sea with the sting winds and crashing waves. It caused a huge wall of


    water to crash through the sky, resulting in a tsunami.


    A massive wave mmed the flying battleship but did not cause any damage.


    The demaster of Mount Grinch instructed the others, “I’ll go distract the dragon. You two look for an


    opportunity to sneak up on it and kill it.”


    “Alright.” James nodded.


    The demaster of Mount Grinch leaped in to attack with the long sword in his hand.


    James knew he could only travel to the Seafolk’s domain by defeating the dragon.


    The lifting of Sangria’s curse and James’ return to Earth hinged on their sess. At that moment, he


    could not care less if he had to reveal his true strength.


    He activated the Sacrilegious Ascension.


    At that moment, the Empyrean Spiritual Energy immediately diffused into his body. His


    True Essence shattered his own spine, and the Spiritual Energy reconstructed it just as quickly.


    His strength improved exponentially.


    Swoosh!


    After he activated the Sacrilegious Ascension, he summoned his Yogacara.


    Waves of Sword Energies emerged from his body and melded together to form a colossal long sword.


    James held the Yogacara Sword Energy. At that moment, he felt invincible.
