As James was earnestly breaking through the seal, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt the curse’s power emerge from within him.
This power was different from the curse others cultivated, which virtual-novel.net could absorb. He could not absorb this power.
The power of a curse? How can this be?
James was puzzled.
Just as virtual-novel.net was puzzled, the curse began destroying his body ferociously. Now that there was a seal inside his body, virtual-novel.net could not utilize much force to suppress the curse.
In an instant, virtual-novel.net suffered severe injuries.
What a bizarre power… Has the curse descended upon us? Has the Third Calamity arrived?
James was stunned.
Since a curse appeared in his body out of nowhere, there was only a single possibility. The Third Calamity of the earthlings and all humans in the universe had arrived.
Since virtual-novel.net was a human, virtual-novel.net was cursed as well. He suffered severe injuries. However, as virtual-novel.net possessed the Demonic Body which shared the same origins as the curse, the injuries stopped deteriorating once they crossed a threshold.
The curse is terrifying, but it won’t kill me just yet…
James took a deep breath. At the same time, virtual-novel.net was worried about humanity.
Since virtual-novel.net had a Demonic Body, virtual-novel.net was able to resist the curse.
What about the others who had ordinary bodies?
I have to achieve a breakthrough into the Sage Rank as soon as possible… I need to borrow the Imperial Jade Seal and bear the curse of all humans.
James took a deep breath.
Putting his thoughts aside, virtual-novel.net focused wholeheartedly on breaking the seal.
“Break!” James roared and catalyzed all his strength to break the seal.
Crack!
A cracking sound came inside his body.
Under the overwhelming force of his full strength, virtual-novel.net had broken through the first seal. Now that virtual-novel.net had more power virtual-novel.net could muster, virtual-novel.net began going for the second seal.
The second seal…
The third seal…
The fourth seal…
The seals were slowly being broken through.
After breaking all the seals, James’ Heavenly Tribulation appeared. This Heavenly Tribulation was the most terrifying of all. After all, James would become a Sage should virtual-novel.net overcome this tribulation.
Dark Tribulation Clouds gathered in the skies, and there were lightning tribulations of different colors flickering in them. Each of them contained terrifying power!
Minor fissures appeared in the surroundings of the Tribulation Clouds, caused by the clouds’ overwhelming power.
Boom!
The first lightning tribulation descended.
James remained where virtual-novel.net stood and allowed the lightning tribulations to attack virtual-novel.net freely.
When the lightning tribulations struck his body, injuries began to appear on his already gravely-injured body. However, his physical body had already undergone changes and reached the Sage Rank, and the lightning tribulations could not completely annihilate him.
As more and more lightning tribulations descended from the sky and struck virtual-novel.net repeatedly, virtual-novel.net was injured but could not be killed.
Soon, all nine lightning tribulations had struck James. James knew that this would not end that easily.
As virtual-novel.net had no idea whether virtual-novel.net would be transported to the Tribulation World, virtual-novel.net braced himself nonetheless. After all nine lightning tribulations had descended, a Heavenly Path Embodiment appeared.
