Chapter 3902
Rumble!
On the battlefield, the earth shook, and the sound of an explosion rocked the area. James turned
around and saw a humongous beast charging toward him. The beast’s limbs were like pirs of the
heavens. With every step he took, the earth shattered, and profound fissures were created.
“Him again…”
James’s face paled.
That was the beast that had been pursuing him previously. He knew just how powerful the beast was.
Even at his full strength, he could not even injure the beast. Losing all courage to fight, he simply made
his escape and disappeared without a trace. In the next instant, he appeared in the mountain range at
the back of the battlefield and stood on the peak of a mountain.
The battlefield seemed to have some sort of restrictions that prevented the beast from leaving the
battlefield. So, the beast did not give chase.
“That guy’s scary…” A voice came from behind James.
James turned around and saw that the bird from before was behind him.
“You know about the beast?” James asked.
“It was once the guardian beast of the Tendo Sect,” the bird said.
“The Tendo Sect?” James looked at the bird puzzledly. It appeared that the bird knew something he did
not.
The bird said, “This restricted area once belonged to a powerful sect called the Tendo Sect. The sect
was annihted in the end, yet the guardian beast survived. However, it has lost all consciousness after
being contaminated by a bizarre power.”
“A guardian beast at the Acme Rank?” As James stared at the beast that ran around amok and roared
in fury, he was stunned by the beast’s aura. The beast’s power certainly had surpassed a Ninth Stage
Lord.
“Not the Acme Rank, I suppose,” the bird said, “Strictly speaking, the beast should be infinitely close to
reaching the Acme Path. Perhaps it once attained such a rank but lost everything after being sealed
away in the depths for too long.”
James was at a loss for words. How was the beast so terrifying even though it was not at the Acme
Rank? So just how frightening was the Acme Rank?
“I’m not chit-chatting with you anymore. I’ll be taking my leave,” the bird said and began pping its
wings.
James, however, appeared before the bird in an instant and blocked its way. Then, he hurriedly said,
“Wait, I have some questions for you.”
“Speak your mind,” the bird said.

James asked, “When did you arrive at the lesiastical Restricted Zone?”
He came here in search of Jabari. However, he was unable to sense Jabari’s presence. Perhaps the
bird knew something he did not.
The bird was lost in contemtion. After some time, he said, “Not too long ago, I think. I entered the
Dark World when the Twelfth Universe was only just created. Then, I immediately headed straight
here.”
“This means that you have been in the lesiastical Restricted Zone for a long time now. What are
you here for?”
“To find a way to break through the Acme Path, of course,” the bird said nonchntly.
“Does this mean that you are a Ninth Stage Lord… No, wait, a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral
God?”
“Bullsh*t.” The bird immediately rebuffed him, saying, “What are these Ninth Stage Lords and Nine-
Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods to me? Nothing but insignificant beings! I can easily destroy them
all if I do say so myself. To tell you the truth, I can subdue the beast outside without breaking a sweat. I
just don’t feel like doing it.”
The bird’s words were arrogant, and James had no idea whether he could trust his words.
“In that case, have you found the way to reach the Acme Rank?” James asked.
Hearing this, the bird shook its head in disappointment. “I wouldn’t be in the lesiastical Restricted
Zone if I had found the way. Even so, however, I think I may have found a way to reach the Acme
Rank. Soon, I will cross into the Acme Rank.”
