Chapter 1545

She wanted to become the greatest in the world.

“Argh!!! Why?!”

James bellowed in fury.

He was already seriously injured.

With the additional gut–wrenching revelation, the vitality in his body rapidly faded away.

Thomas sensed something was wrong and promptly urged him, “James, you can’t give up just yet. You

mustn’t die here.

“You still have a lot more to accomplish.

“There are still many things you need to resolve!

“If you’re dead, no one will be able to oppose Thea.

“Do you know what else Thea practiced besides the Demonic Sword Art?

“She also practiced Demonic Breath and cultivated True Demonic Energy. Moreover, she even

practiced Murderous Energy which negates the Invincible Body Siddhi.”

After learning of Thea’s identity, Thomas was confused as to why the strength of Thea’s Demonic

Sword Art was so inconsistent.

So, he specifically investigated where Thea had been to.

He discovered that Thea had visited Medical Valley before going to Durandal.

Thomas also visited the Medical Valley and met with the Valley Master to inquire about it.

Ultimately, he dived into the Frosty Swamp of Medical Valley and discovered clues about what had

happened.

“True Demonic Energy is the antithesis of True Heavenly Energy. Murderous Energy is also the

nemesis of Invincible Body Siddhi. The two mutually suppress each other, and you’re the only one who

can keep Thea under control, so you must stay strong and live.”

Thomas‘ words gave James the motivation to keep living again.

“Nine Destruction, Nine Ordeals. A near–death experience. Concentrating all Nine Spirits into one!”

James closed his eyes.

At that moment, the remaining True Energy in his body began to flow out from his five internal organs,

meridians, and Three Treasures.

Nine different True Energies began to slowly coalesce.

These nine waves of True Energy were weak, disappearing like a drop in the ocean.

James initiated the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals cultivation method, and the True Energy gathering in his

body increased.

Standing beside him, Thomas watched as the pain disappeared from James‘ face. Seeing that his

expression relaxed and his pale face gradually regain its color, Thomas breathed a sigh of relief.

“It should have been successful

“In a state of extreme desperation, he regained the desire to live and experienced an intense yearning.

That’s similar to the situation the founder of the Polaris Sect that created the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals

went through.”

Thomas stood aside and watched over him.

He wanted to see how strong James had grown and the rank he achieved after mastering the Nine

Scriptures of Ordeals.

Previously, he was an eighth–ranked grandmaster.

After regaining his strength, he must have surpassed the peak of the eighth rank.

As for how many steps of the Skyward Stairway he had ascended, Thomas was unable to precisely

tell.

He was looking forward to the outcome.

“Concentrate all Nine Spirits into one. Maintain a clear mind and strong energy. Abandon yourself to

despair.”

James continued to implement the technique.

As instructed by the cultivation method of the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals, he concentrated on

controlling nine different energies.

Waves of True Energy flowed through the different meridians in his body.

His severed meridians were slowly made whole once more.

The True Energy in his body grew increasingly strong.

When the nine True Energies gathered in his Elixir Field, they formed one single True Energy.

His True Energy suddenly burst forth.

Boom!

Suddenly, powerful and intense energy flowed out of his body.

The energy formed a shock wave that immediately obliterated the house.

Fortunately, there was no one around the area. Otherwise, it would definitely have caused a huge

commotion.

Thomas quickly flew out of the ruins and appeared in the distance. He raised his head and looked at

James.

James was already floating above the ground.

He was sitting in a lotus position ten meters above the ground and emanated a fierce energy.

The energy grew in strength by the minute.

“The true strength of the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals is breathtaking.”

Thomas drew in a sharp breath.
