“Fortunately, little by little, my body is becoming trained so that the clash earlier didn’t immediately render me unconscious. But if things continue like this, I’ll surely lose. I should find another way to defeat this person,” Julius muttered to himself.
Julius darted towards the group of masters. They seemed greatly weakened by the previous encounter. Actually, this situation made Julius hesitant to express his intentions. But whether he liked it or not, he had to because this was the last hope he could muster. Julius remembered one of the forbidden techniques found in the secret book of the Tower of the Gods Academy.
“Dear masters, can you perform the combined technique once again? I will attempt a technique I once learned, perhaps this is the last resort. If this also fails, then maybe this is the end of our lives and the life of the Tower of the Gods Academy,” Julius said to the masters.
Almost simultaneously, the masters nodded in agreement with Julius’s request. Although they were currently suffering severe injuries, the statement that this was their last resort to fight for the Tower of the Gods Academy compelled them to do it. Once again, the masters began to muster their strength and perform the technique of combining their energy and channeling it to Julius.
On the side, Caspian Hond seemed to let Julius and the masters do as they pleased. He was confident that whatever the people of the Tower of the Gods Academy did, they wouldn’t be able to defeat him. The right-wing commander of the Demon Sect seemed to relish every failure experienced by the Academy’s people in facing him.
Preparations had begun. The connecting seal on Julius’s back had been made. The energy transfer had begun processing. This time, all the masters present there were the ones giving their energy to Julius.
“Hahaha... excellent, all of you masters are participating. I want to see the faces of failure and despair from all of you. It will be delightful to see those faces.”
Once again, Caspian Hond’s words mocked what Julius and the masters were doing. His words actually made everyone listening very angry. However, they dared not do anything because they didn’t want their actions to be obstructed by the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect.
After the strength of the masters was connected with Julius, Julius soared upwards and floated higher in the air than the height of the Tower of the Gods. He then created a giant seal in the shape of a circle. Within the circle, it was divided into four parts symbolizing the four elements, earth, fire, water, and wind. Then the young man floated above the circular seal.
On top of the seal, Julius once again inscribed a mantra seal on the palm of his right hand. Then he knelt on one knee and slammed his palms right in the middle of the circular seal. Instantly, the circular seal emitted light in four colors corresponding to the elemental images within the seal.

A few moments later, the area of the Tower of the Gods Academy trembled violently as if struck by an earthquake. Then suddenly, the divine protection surrounding the Tower of the Gods Academy disappeared. The four semi-god weapons representing the four elements that were originally positioned at the four corners of the Tower of the Gods Academy now shot towards Julius. The four swords then entered the circle and occupied the four elemental seals created by Julius earlier.
Then the four swords emitted light representing the four elements in harmony with the four elemental seals created by Julius. Without hesitation, Julius created a seal on the palm of his right hand and once again slammed his palms right in the center of the circle. In a moment, the four swords merged and transformed into a sword with a reddish hue.
“The Sword of the Four Elemental Gods!” murmured Master from the Water Tower and Master from the Fire Tower almost simultaneously.
“I didn’t expect this child to successfully perform a legendary technique and reunite the four separate elemental swords. Truly a genius cultivator. It’s a pity his physical condition is so weak; otherwise, he might already be in the realm of semi-gods or even beyond,” Master Frostfire said, unable to hide his admiration for Julius.
Julius then took the Sword of the Four Elemental Gods and descended to the ground, facing Caspian Hond from a distance of about ten spear lengths. They stared at each other sharply as if seeking each other’s weaknesses. Caspian Hond himself couldn’t hide his admiration for the new student at the Tower of the Gods Academy.
“I never thought the Tower of the Gods Academy would have a genius student like you. Being at the 8th level of the Heavenly Spirit realm, you’re already capable of performing techniques that perhaps even the head of the Tower of the Gods Academy has never done. I believe that the reason you’re still at the 8th level of the Heavenly Spirit realm is simply because of your weak body, unable to withstand the brilliance of your genius, which might break through realms even further than this. I offer you to join us; if you agree, not only will you be spared from death today, but you will also benefit from strengthening your physical body in the Demon Sect. In this world, only we possess plants capable of making someone’s body like that of a god or a demon.
Seeing the strengths possessed by Julius, the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect was very interested in the young man. He invited Julius to join the sect with the promise of being given a God Plant that could make his body as strong as a god’s. The fruit itself only grew in one place that many people didn’t know about. Caspian Hond seemed to suggest that the God Fruit grew in the area of the main headquarters of the Starfire Demon Sect.
“Hmmm... Is that true?” Julius asked after pondering for a moment.
“You can trust my words. It is taboo for a true man to lie, even if he follows a different path, which hypocrites like your Masters call themselves the straight path.”
The bargaining conversation between the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect and Julius made the masters of the Tower of the Gods Academy a little anxious. They were worried that Julius would act foolishly by joining the demon sect. Moreover, at present, the strongest relic of the Tower of the Gods Academy was in the hands of this young man. If he joined, it would undoubtedly be the end of the Tower of the Gods Academy, which would surely be destroyed by the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect.
“And if I join your sect, will you release the Tower of the Gods Academy?”
Once again, Julius’s question made everyone tense. From his words, it seemed that Julius was indeed interested in the promises made by the right-wing commander of the Demon Sect. The masters realized that with Julius’s young age, he would easily be influenced by sweet words.
