Back at the Forty-Ninth Heaven, the Goyoan Temple had been reduced to rubble.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    James'' hair swayed lightly as nine beautiful swords circled him. He was also surrounded by a denseyer of Anonymous Gas.


    Then, James flipped his palms over. In a sh, the nine swords around him shot up and merged above him. Eventually, a gigantic sword of ck and white patterns glowing with a purplish-gold light was formed.


    The sword hovered above James and rotated slowly. It emanated a subtle glow that gave off an indomitable aura.


    James adjusted the flow of the Anonymous Gas in his body and opened his mouth. "Why hide yourself when you''ve gone through the trouble ofing here?"


    After James said that, a ball of purplish-gold light came flying from afar and stopped somewhere in the distance.


    It transformed into a man looking exactly like James but had purplish-gold eyes and red hair.


    Unlike the real James, this man had an unsettling, evil aura. He radiated a terrifying amount of Waltraud Power.


    The demonic James sat down facing the real James. He appearedpletely at ease.


    "Long time no see!" the demonic James said smilingly. "If you hadn''t tried to fuse the Wuia Demon-yer Sword, I probably would not have been able to regain my freedom again. I have to thank you forthat."


    James smiled faintly. "Is this something worth getting so pleased over?


    You''re no more than a sword spirit that belonged to the Waitara Path at the moment."


    "I''m not a sword spirit. I''m a soul spirit," the demonic James replied unhurriedly, ''The soul spirit is required for the awakening of my Soremsia. In fact, it is the most crucial part of the awakening."


    "Which soul spirit are you?" James asked.


    The demonic James responded, ''You got it wrong. There''s only one soul spirit, and we are practically indestructible.


    ''You won''t be able to kill me. Only the Nine Caeloros Gods could do that if they exited the Xyrisia Gate and came after me themselves.


    "Unfortunately, they couldn''t. That is because Frona, the Soremsia belonging to the Nine Caeloros Gods'' leader, is in the Haleth Realm. Therefore, they can''t ess the gate."


    James asked calmly, "Is that why you''re being so cocky in front of me?" "Hahaha!" The demonic Jamesughed. ''That''s not the only reason. I''ve also taken the living beings hostage. That includes your friends and the two Hongrome Children."


    James did not seem perturbed in the slightest by the news.


    "James, I acknowledge your abilities," the demonic James continued," You''re the first person to receive the Spiritual Providence and help the other realms be independent of Zymurgy since the birth of the Haleth Realm.


    "That makes you much better than the Xyloria gods and Path Emperors.


    "If it weren''t for the powerful sword light produced during the fusion of the Wuia Demon-yer Sword, I wouldn''t have spotted my chance to pierce through the Spiritual Providence you had set up."


    James gave a slight nod. ''You were very smart as well. The Caeloros Gods and Haleth Realm''s divine beings were all trying to look out for your reincarnated Soremsia.


    ''Yet, you actually separated your Soremsia and soul spirit.


    ''You made such a meticulous n to fool the divine beings and the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness. So, I think you did more than just separating your soul spirit and Soremsia."


    The demonic James threw his head back and burst outughing.


    "I thought there would never be another divine being from the Haleth Realm that could achieve the level of enlightenment close to mine.


    "Who knew it would be a human subjected to my teachings and philosophies that did it? How fascinating!"


    The demonic James said in a low voice, "You''re right. I have more ns that none of you are aware of.


    "I can even tell you this. You''ll help me even more if you carry on with your ns. Sadly, you have no choice but to press on since the time of my return is drawing near.


    ''The only way for you to be on par with me in a battle is to seize the Wuia Pce and Path Designation Bead first."


    James'' brows arched.


    ''You''re not my inner demon. So, why bother taking on my appearance? Do you admire me? Or perhaps do you look ugly in your actual appearance?"


    The demonic James'' expression hardened.


    "I''m doing this as a friendly gesture. It''s your honor..."


    "No." James shook his head. ''You''re impersonating me and creating havoc in different realms. You''re doing it in preparation for your Soremsia''s return."
