After Quade killed James, another person appeared before virtual-novel.net could catch his breath.
It was a powerful person who had much stronger energy than him.
After a brief contact, virtual-novel.net was knocked away.
Another fierce battle broke out in the area.
At that moment, James was lying weakly among the ruins below them. His strength had improved tremendously after casting Sacrilegious Ascension. However, it was only comparable to the strength of someone at the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair.
Meanwhile, Quade had reached the peak of the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair and was close to the Seventh Stair. Although their strength were both in the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair, the gap them was relatively big.
James was severely injured but not dead.
The Demonic Lotus reformed his body, so Quade’s strength was not enough to kill him.
Sensing the movement above him, James knew another fierce battle had broken out. Thus, virtual-novel.net remained under the ruins in the ground and did not show himself, using the opportunity to heal his body.
Demonic Energy surged through his body, and virtual-novel.net quickly recovered from his injuries. In less. than a minute, virtual-novel.net had fully recovered. His strength had returned to its peak, but virtual-novel.net did not choose to reveal himself. Instead, virtual-novel.net waited within the ruins.
The fierce battle above virtual-novel.net continued.
Terrifying energies swept across the surroundings and destroyed everything. The mountains were destroyed, and the ground was full of bottomless pits.
The fight lasted for about half an hour.
James sensed that Quade and the other cultivator were not dead yet but wounded.
Quade sustained a wound on his arm and was bleeding. He stared at his opponent, who was wearing a black robe.
The black-robed man also panted and stared at Quade.
He said coldly, “I wasn’t expecting you to be so resilient. However, you’ll die since I’m your opponent.”
At that moment, a black lotus silently shot out of the ground. The black lotus appeared in the sky and released black energy.
“What?” Quade and the black-robed man were shocked.
At that moment, the black lotus released Demonic Energy. The energy swept the surroundings and engulfed the black-robed man.
The black Demonic Energy entered the black-robed man’s body. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt like his True Energy and Blood Essence were being swallowed up.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net was terrified of his impending death.
“Argh! No…” His eyes widened, and virtual-novel.net exerted all his strength.
Although James’ Demonic Lotus was terrifying, the black-robed man was at the Immortal Ascension’s Seventh Stair. He broke free from the Demonic Energy.
Afterward, his body flickered, and virtual-novel.net appeared in the air. His long sword slashed the Demonic Lotus, and a terrifying Sword Energy burst out.
Upon being struck, the Demonic Lotus transformed into black mist and quickly disappeared into the deep pit in the ground.
James, who was hiding in the pit, spat out a mouthful of blood. His Demonic Lotus was sliced apart, and virtual-novel.net suffered injuries from the backlash.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt a dangerous energy approaching him. His body flickered, and virtual-novel.net quickly rushed out of the deep pit.
After virtual-novel.net escaped, several Sword Energies slammed into the ruins on the ground, creating a bigger mess.
James appeared in the distance and gritted his teeth.
That was so close…
The two who were previously engaged in the fight noticed James.
Seeing the other party, Quade was shocked.
He pointed at James in the distance and said, “Y-You’re a demon?”
The black-robed man also was frightened of James.
When the Demonic energy entangled him, virtual-novel.net was overwhelmed with the fear of death. Fortunately, virtual-novel.net was strong enough to break free. Otherwise, it would have been the death of him.
James looked at the black-robed man and Quade with a frown.
