Chapter 4259
The Devouring Demon was greatly displeased. He went through a lot of trouble to create
the 12 death spirits. However, James had effortlessly obliterated one of them. He felt
incredibly distressed to see it die before him.
However, there was no time for him to grieve. It was important that he figure out how to
take out James while minimizing his losses.
Meanwhile, the other competition participants were gathered far away at the border of the
formation that encircled the Sky Islands.
Everyone was spectating James’ battle.
After witnessing James' strength, all of them were astounded.
Out of curiosity, one asked, "A Terra Acmean in their early stage wielding a Light of Acme,
and twelve death spirits at the Eternal Boundless Rank. Who in the Greater Realms could
stand a chance against such a formidable individual?”
Another creature replied to him, "Probably only the Grand Patriarchs or Patriarchs from the
Ten Great Races."
"Indeed. Among the known powerhouses, there should be about twenty or so that can
take him on. The Greater Realm has a storied history, and there may still be powerhouses
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunknown to us."
Many creatures began to discuss amongst themselves.
They concluded that only the Ten Great Race’s Grand Patriarchs and Patriarchs could
oppose the Devouring Demon. This implied that James’ current strength was equivalent to
these 20 or so powerhouses.
James was only a Quasi Acmean and still had much room for improvement. Once he
reaches the Permanence Acme Rank or Terra Acme Rank, he would be almost invincible.
Right then, the two were still locked in a stalemate.
After trading a few blows, James and the Devouring Demon did not rush back to battle.
James stared at the Devouring Demon, and then at the 11 death spirits, asking, "If you
want the Chaos Sacred Art, I could possibly give it to you. However, how sure are you that
you’d cultivate it successfully? It's the Doom Race's Supernatural Power. To cultivate it,
Chaos Power is required."
The Devouring Demon assumed James was fearful and was trying to negotiate.
He replied ruthlessly, "You won't have to worry about that. Just hand it over to me. My
offer still stands. If you give it to me, I won’t destroy your soul and will allow you to be
reincarnated. Considering your cultivation rank, you should be able to reincarnate with
your memories intact."
James put up a finger and moved it from side to side, saying, "You don't get it. I’m pretty
sure you’re just one of
Youri's monstrous creations. However, he didn't manage to subjugate you completely. I'm
sure he promised to give you the Doom Race's cultivation method in exchange for your
servitude. Your ultimate goal is the Chaos Sacred Art, isn’t it? Instead of Youri, how about
you work for me? I can provide you anything he offered you. Even better, I can give you
what he can’t."
Actually, James was not really confident in defeating the Devouring Demon. Even if he
could wipe out the remaining death spirits, fighting the Devouring Demon would exact a
heavy toll. He might be lucky enough to kill his opponent but would definitely suffer a
heavy loss in the process.
"Haha."
The Devouring Demon snickered and said, "Are you seriously that naive, Wyot? Do you
really think I'd submit to you?"
James looked at him and said calmly, "Anything is possible if we can negotiate properly."
"Don't you know how terrifying Elder Youri is? Even if I agreed to follow you, he’ll kill me
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmonce he finds out."
Not only was the Devouring Demon unwilling to serve James, but he was also afraid of the
consequences of doing so.
James responded, "I know he’s strong, but no matter how strong he is, he only reached the
Omniscience Path’s Ninth Stage. Moreover, he's been stuck at the Terra Acme Rank and
hasn't yet made it to the Caelum Acme Rank yet. As long as he isn't a Caelum Acmean
yet, I can definitely surpass him.
"With a little more time, I'll grow stronger than him.
"You should reconsider. Should we fight to our deaths or make a deal? You can serve me
and be my errand boy. In exchange, I'll give you the Chaos Sacred Art. I can even give you
the Primal Mantra if you want as well. Youri isn't the
only one that wants to obtain the Blithe Omniscience. I'm also very much interested in it.
Who do you think has a higher chance of getting it?"
"How long has it been since his birth, and what about me? If you think about it, the answer
to who has greater potential is quite apparent.
"Why don't you give it another thought?"
James' voice gradually grew louder. At the same time, his aura also rose rapidly. He slowly
approached the Devouring Demon. With each step he took, the Devouring Demon took a
respective step backward.
