Chapter 2057

James appeared on the mountaintop and looked at the city surrounded by a celestial aura in the

distance. His desire to possess the Celestial Abode only firmed up in his eart

There were many people on the mountaintop.

He ignored them and descended to the mountain’s base.

Soon, he reached the first barrier. James thought he would have to challenge the barriers again from

the beginning if he wanted to reach the ninth barrier. Fortunately, the golem on the first barrier did not

attack him.

James was overjoyed. This saved him a lot of time since he did not need to pass through the barriers

again.

He continued advancing and found that his path was largely unimpeded. Soon, he reached the base of

the mountain and found himself outside the city entrance.

When he appeared at the city entrance, his body was lifted into the air and transported directly into the

city center. Then, he gained his footing firmly on the ground.

He looked at the altar before him and the crystal floating on it.

No one was at the ninth barrier.

Those who could reach the ninth barrier had already challenged it a long time

Those who could not reach the ninth barrier did not have the strength to do so. James walked toward

the altar ago.

As soon as he approached, a white light appeared, and a charming woman in a white dress appeared

in front of him.

“You’re here.”

The woman recognized James. He was the first person to reach the ninth barrier and challenge her.

“Yeah.”

James was calm in front of his opponent. Compared to two years ago, he was much stronger and now

was confident he could defeat her.

As long as his opponent kept to the same rank, he felt assured and unstoppable.

“Good.”

The woman nodded slightly with one arm held behind her back.

A white light shone in her eyes.

The light touched James’ body, and the woman immediately analyzed his cultivation rank. “Mmm, wow.

Impressive.”

The woman’s pretty face was full of respect as she said, “I didn’t you to reach the peak of the

Supernatural’s Eighth Inner Gate in just two years. I wonder how strong your True Energy is now.”

James smiled calmly and said, “I won’t disappoint you.”

He knew the woman before him was not an actual human but merely a simulacrum.

She was incredibly powerful, so James brought his full power to bear on her. He activated his True

Energy, and two streams of energy flowed through his body. Intense energy erupted from his body right

after.

The woman in white was surprised by James’ energy.

“Not bad.” She clicked her tongue in amazement.

At that moment, James lunged at her.

James made an attack and appeared in front of the woman the next moment. He clenched his fist and

swung it at the woman’s vital points.

His punch was fast and fierce, causing an invincible force to sweep forward.

The woman did not dodge and raised her hand to block James’ attack.

Fist and palm collided.

Both of them took a few steps backward.

James felt a powerful force seeping from his fist, and it spread into his body causing him to stumble a

few steps back.

However, that was the extent of the damage he took.

The woman’s pretty face expressed amazement. She knew James had reached the Eighth Inner

Gate’s peak, so she adjusted her strength to match his. Originally, she expected to defeat James with a

single attack.

However, she was surprised James was capable of repelling her.

As soon as the two exchanged their first move, the Spirit Tool appeared.

The Spirit Tool’s shadowy face also expressed shock after witnessing the woman in white being

pushed back by James.

“This kid has improved a lot after disappearing for two years.”

“Strike again.”
