At the training grounds….
Brielle and James’ gazes met.
Right then, Brielle made a move. Her dress fluttered as virtual-novel.net appeared before James in the blink of an eye The moment virtual-novel.net appeared, virtual-novel.net palm was already aiming toward James.
Knowing that Brielle was powerful, James did not dare let his guard down. He catalyzed his full strength to deflect the attack. However, his rank was simply too weak. Even though his physical strength had reached the Tribulation Rank, virtual-novel.net could not withstand Brielle’s attack.
Struck in the chest, virtual-novel.net was sent flying and collapsed heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood. Not only that, but his chest was completely deformed.
“That’s it?” Brielle remained where virtual-novel.net stood and stared at James who was injured.
She thought James would be powerful. It appeared that virtual-novel.net could not withstand even a single blow from her.
Meanwhile, the other powerful figures did not even bat an eyelid. That was because as cultivators at the Divine Rank, they could see through both Brielle and James’ cultivation base. As such, they knew about the disparity of power between the two. James was simply no match for Brielle.
Wretchedly, James stood up. As Demonic Energy circulated throughout his body, his injuries automatically recovered.
At that moment, many powerful figures sensed it.
“I never thought that kid has such majestic Demonic Energy inside his body…”
“That Demonic Energy seems familiar…”
Many were puzzled and looked at Tigranes of the Hadean Clan.
Someone asked, “Grand Emperor Tigranes, James Caden exudes the aura of the Hadean Clan. Is virtual-novel.net a member of our clan?”
Tigranes remained silent. At his rank, virtual-novel.net had reached the pinnacle of cultivation and saw no point in explaining.
Seeing this, the other powerful figures were baffled.
James had stood up, and the injuries on his chest had recovered.
His rejuvenation speed stunned Brielle, who said, “Though your rank is low, you possess great physical strength There’s even a mysterious power inside your body that automatically rejuvenates your body…”
Hearing this, James smiled.
He knew, a Sage was simply too terrifying. Without resorting to certain tactics, virtual-novel.net would not be able to defeat her.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net catalyzed Sacrilegious Ascension. Then, his aura burst forth, and the Primordial Energy in his surroundings gathered.
Using the cultivation method, virtual-novel.net shattered his spine and absorbed Empyrean Spiritual Energy to form a new one. With each spine virtual-novel.net formed, virtual-novel.net took a step forward. Soon, virtual-novel.net had taken thirty-three steps. Each step virtual-novel.net took increased his aura drastically and applied overwhelming pressure on Brielle.
However, as Brielle was already a Sage, Sacrilegious Ascension could not deal any damage to virtual-novel.net no matter how mysterious it was.
“Huh… Not bad…” Sensing that James’ aura had increased, Brielle said smilingly, “I never thought you’d able to forcibly increase your aura to the Tribulation Rank’s Second Stage through your Supernatural Power alone despite only recently crossed into the Mage Rank. Show me everything you’ve got, James. I look forward to our battle!”
At that moment, James’ power had reached the Tribulation Rank’s Second Stage. As virtual-novel.net had crossed into the Tribulation Rank, Tribulation Clouds appeared in the sky. Lightning bolts could be seen flashing in those clouds.
This was a Heavenly Tribulation.
As long as one’s power reached the Tribulation Rank, a Heavenly Tribulation would appear. Under normal circumstances, one would officially cross into the Tribulation Rank by weathering the Heavenly Tribulation
However, James’ circumstances were unique. His true rank was far below the Tribulation Rank, and virtual-novel.net only reached such a rank by using a mysterious cultivation method. Besides, his current strength had surpassed the Tribulation Rank’s First Stage and reached the Tribulation Rank’s Second Stage.
“Why are you guys in such a hurry?”
Just as James’ aura increased and reached the Tribulation Rank’s Second Stage, a voice could be heard coming from the void. Then, a man walked out of the void passageway.
