Chapter 4442
The situation was not in their favor.
The Cloud Race's Grand Patriarch, Dalson, had returned from his long absence.
Dalson was at the peak of the Terra Acme Rank long ago. After the battle in the Primordial
Realm, he disappeared. Rumors spread that he had died. Only the Cloud Race knew he
was alive but chose to stay away from the public eye.
Now that Dalson had returned, he was much more potent. Xezal did not even compare to
him.
His half-hearted attacks caused significant damage to the formation that James spent a lot
of effort constructing.
After the formation was destroyed, James suffered a massive backlash.
James looked at Thea and said, "Thea, it’s a choice between me and Soren. One of us will
have to be sacrificed. Soren will die if I escape now. But if Soren successfully escapes, I'm
going to die."
Thea's face became solemn.
Boom!!!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDalson struck the formation again.
His powerful force crashed into the formation, and the cracks on it began to spread out.
James spat out another mouthful of blood. He waved his hand, summoning countless
Formation Inscriptions to repair and maintain the formation. However, his efforts only had
a temporary effect.
Dalson was very powerful and would destroy the formation very soon.
James could not be bothered with the blood dripping from his lips.
"We can't let Soren die here. He's at the Omniscience Path's Ninth Stage, so if he recovers,
he can lead the Human Race to glory and gain a foothold in the Greater Realms. I’ll
sacrifice myself to destroy the formation trapping him. Once he is freed, you get him out
of here safely. My formation should be able to last a while more. I'll stay to hold Dalson
back."
"James..." Thea looked at James with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Meanwhile, the group of powerhouses remained together somewhere in the Cloud
Universe.
Xezal stood at the forefront.
"What powerful force."
Xezal sensed a powerhouse attempting to break the formation and was surprised by his
strength. She detected a strange aura, and it was one that she had never encountered
before. After seeing the appearance of the old man, she immediately recognized him.
"The Cloud Race's Grand Patriarch, Dalson? I never expected him to be the first to enter
the Caelum Acme Rank."
Hearing Xezal's words, the powerhouses were surprised.
"What did you say? That old man has already entered the Caelum Acme Rank?" Gaerel
was startled.
They were familiar with Dalson. He was a powerhouse on the same rank as them back in
the Primordial Realm Era.
During the fight back then, Dalson was injured and disappeared for countless years. Now
that he reappeared, he was a Caelum Acmean.
Meanwhile, James waved his hand, and the formation trapping Soren appeared before
him.
James looked at the black palace ahead of him and said, " Sir, I’m leaving the Human Race
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmin y our hands."
"Young man." The hoarse voice came from inside the black palace.
"You have greater potential than me. You should escape right now. If you remain in hiding
for a while, you'll surely become a Caelum Acmean and reach the Omniscience Path's
Ninth Stage. Moreover, you've also comprehended the Blithe Omniscience. The Human
Race will have a greater hope with you. There's no need to sacrifice yourself to save me."
Soren was anxious about James’ decision. He could tell James had great potential.
James was still a weak cultivator when they first met. Yet, he managed to grow
significantly in just a short period. If he continued improving, he would become the
strongest cultivator in the Greater Realms. Thus, Soren did not want James to sacrifice
himself to save him.
'Whether I enter the Caelum Acme Rank or not is uncertain. However, you'll be able to
recover your strength to your prime after you get out of here. Your recovery will be much
faster than I can reach the Caelum Acme Rank and the Omniscience Path's Ninth Stage.
The human race can't afford to wait for me to become stronger."
After speaking, James began to burn his Spiritual Power, and a powerful force that
surpassed his cultivation rank emerged from his body.
James' injured body immediately erupted with a powerful aura.
