CHAPTER 4263
Now that the Death Demon’s soul had been restored and made whole, he could return to being a powerful Terra Acmean once he recuperated and recovered his strength.
Moreover, he was a powerhouse that accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge in his past life. Thus, it was rather easy for him to cross into the following ranks. He could potentially enter the Terra Acme Rank’s middle stage as he recuperated.
James looked at the sword and murmured, “I’ll call this the Death-Celestial Sword.”
He casually named the sword and put it away.
Then, his brows furrowed. The outside powerhouses would definitely hear about the Death Demon and James wanted to keep the fact that he recruited him a secret.
He thought briefly and then came up with a plan. He began to stage a fake scene.
Boom!
The time formation around him exploded.
As the formation shattered, the Death Demon lunged at and the Death Demon’s body slowly dispersed into the air.
The series of events were illusions James had created using the various Paths of heaven and earth. He intended for it to be seen by Deshawn and the others.
Deshawn and the others knew that James was trying to persuade Death Demon, and saw that they had come to an agreement. However, they were unable to see what happened inside the formation. They were only informed once the explosion occurred.
“Huh? What happened?”
“Wasn’t Wyot supposed to be purifying his soul? Why are they fighting again?”
Many creatures were baffled by what they saw.
James quickly headed toward the group of creatures.
Yente rushed over to him and questioned him. “What happened? Are you alright? Why did you guys end up fighting again?”
James teasingly replied, “Is that worry I hear in your voice? Have you finally fallen for me?”
His remarks turned her cheeks red as she hurriedly denied.” O-Of course not! You promised to protect my family. That’s why I…”
“Alright, alright. I get it.” James stopped her.
He turned to the other creatures. Everyone was watching him closely, awaiting his explanation.
James smiled and said, “That monster was too vile. I felt couldn’t possibly keep a loose cannon by my side. As
I purified his soul, I took advantage of his vulnerable state and destroyed him. By the time he realized, it was already too late. I quickly retreated, and he destroyed my formation. His soul was completely obliterated as soon as he broke my formation.”
James’ words described the scene they saw. Thus, everyone believed James’ explanation.
Even Deshawn could not find anything amiss. Since Deshawn had not mastered the various Paths of heaven and earth, he could not discern that the scene was an illusion created by James.
Leilani stepped forward and asked, “Were you injured?”
“Kinda.”
James replied and began to let out horrible coughs. Blood gushed out of his mouth. In the previous battle, he was struck by the Light of Acme and was severely injured. He had been suppressing the injuries since then. Now that things were resolved, he had reached his limit. As soon as he stopped curbing his injuries, they immediately worsened.
A powerful force surged out from his body and devastated him. His Blood Energy churned, and blood spewed out of his mouth. All rights © .
James immediately sat in a lotus position and began cultivating to heal his injuries.
The other creatures watched from the side.
Some creatures quietly walked over to Deshawn. One of
them said telepathically, “Wyot got rid of that monster and is severely injured right now. This is the perfect chance to get rid of him. Let’s attack him while he’s treating his wounds. If we kill him, this competition and the Chaos Sacred Lotus will be ours.”
