Boom!
A flash of lightning struck the stone pillar and then James.
When the lightning struck James, virtual-novel.net could only feel pain so excruciating that even his soul shivered. Then, virtual-novel.net let loose an anguished scream.
No one stepped forward to defend James, nor did anyone feel any sympathy toward virtual-novel.net After all, James was an earthling, a descendant of sinners. Their ancestors perished because of the earthlings’ ancestors’ betrayal.
After the first flash of lightning struck James, virtual-novel.net already suffered grave injuries. However, Demonic Energy immediately circulated throughout his body and healed his injuries.
Before virtual-novel.net could react, the second flash of lightning struck him.
“Argh!” James cried out in anguish.
His physical body and even his soul underwent agonizing torture.
In the distance, Marcello furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows and said, “Jace, are we just going to sit here and watch?”
Wearing a calm expression, Jace said coldly, “I only need virtual-novel.net alive. Besides, I believe virtual-novel.net can survive this ordeal with that physical body of his. Once virtual-novel.net completely gives up on the human race, it’ll be much easier for virtual-novel.net to join our ranks.”
“But can he?” Marcello asked anxiously.
“Yes… He has no choice,” Jace said.
Marcello fell silent and turned to leave, unable to bear witness to James’ torture.
The footage of James’ trial was broadcasted live to the world. As they witnessed it, every human being on Earth wept.
“Hang in there, James!”
“You can do this!”
Many offered words of encouragement.
Meanwhile, Thea, who was currently in Cansington, cried virtual-novel.net eyes out upon seeing this. At that moment, virtual-novel.net wanted to head over to Mount Bane and save James. However, virtual-novel.net did not lose virtual-novel.net rationality.
James risked his life to save them. If virtual-novel.net headed to Mount Bane, not only would virtual-novel.net not be able to save his life, but virtual-novel.net would create even more trouble for him.
Upon seeing James being tortured, virtual-novel.net clenched virtual-novel.net fists, cursing, “The Ancient Realm and the Divinity Sect Mark my words, I’ll have my revenge!”
Her expression was solemn. She silently swore to annihilate the Divinity Sect should tames perish on Mount Bane.
In the beginning, James was able to resist the lightning strikes using his physical body. However, as his Demonic Energy was slowly depleted, his injuries only worsened.
Soon, two weeks passed. Each day, James was struck by lightning repeatedly.
His body was horribly burned, and his Demonic Energy was completely depleted. James’ life was hanging by a thread, and virtual-novel.net constantly slipped in and out of consciousness.
Inside the Celestial Abode, Sophie knew what was happening to James.
She furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows and said, “He’ll die if this continues…”
The Spirit Tool glanced at virtual-novel.net and said, “Lend virtual-novel.net a helping hand, then…”
“But…” Sophie said, “You know who I am. How can I intervene just like that? Besides, virtual-novel.net has obtained the Infinity Steles. If I help virtual-novel.net out, I will incur heavy Karma…”
The Spirit Tool said coolly, “James is the owner of the Jabari Celestial Abode in which you reside. All this while, you have accumulated great Karma while helping him.”
Sophie said, “I can release this Karma, and I have the ability to endure it.”
“Then help virtual-novel.net out indirectly and send virtual-novel.net away from where virtual-novel.net is. If virtual-novel.net dies, the Celestial Abode will become masterless. Now that the remnants of Emperor Jabari have dispersed, it won’t be easy for the Celestial Abode to find a new master.”
