Chapter 2139

Laelia witnessed James’ body being stabbed. He was even struck with a palm, sent flying, and

collapsed to the ground. The ground had even developed a deep pit

Her face turned pale from the horror. Even her savior had died horribly at Saturio’s hands. She would

have no way out today.

“Your Highness.” Saturio stood in the air. He smiled as he looked at Laelia, who was trembling in the

distance. “Did you really think that this man could save you? How absurd ”

James was already dead, as far as Saturio could tell.

“I’ll give it to you.”

Laelia decided to make a compromise. Even James was dead. If she did not hand over the jade

pendant, she would also be dead and Saturio would still get the jade pendant.

If she handed over the jade pendant, she could at least preserve her life. As long as she lived, there

was a chance for vengeance.

However, at this precise moment, a silhouette of a person shot up into the sky from the ruins below. His

hair was unkempt, and his entire body was covered in blood. He looked like a mess.

However, the wound on his chest had healed.

With his hand, James wiped away the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth. Ast he

looked at Saturio in the distance, a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, “How troublesome. It

seemed that unless I employed my signature martial arts skills, I wouldn’t be able to kill you.”

“You?” When Saturio saw that James was safe and sound, he could not help but be shocked.

His longsword had pierced James’ body. He had even used his palm to deliver a powerful strike to

James. James could not possibly be alive.

Nonetheless, James was now standing in front of him, safe and sound. How could he not be taken

aback?

James took a step forward while he was high in the air. After he took a step, the aura on his body

became much more intense and powerful.

With every step he took, Saturio could sense an unseen force pressing down on him. His body tipped

slightly, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

James continued march forward with each stride.

Shortly after, he had taken thirty-three steps.

After he took the thirty-third step, Saturio had reached his limit. His body was already on the ground at

this point, having been trod upon. Cracks had appeared on his body. It seemed like it could fall apart at

any moment.

He was lying on the ground. Blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth.

“This… How is this even possible?”

His aged face bore a horrified expression.

James was standing in the air and smiling faintly.

Sacrilegious Ascension. One step forward would be taken after the creation of each vertebra. With

each step, one could gather tremendous strength to stomp the enemy.

After he used Sacrilegious Ascension, he could kill cultivators who were at the Third Stair of the

Immortal Ascension rank.

Saturio had just entered the Immortal Ascension rank. He had not yet struck, but Saturio was already

wounded from being trampled.

“Die.”

James had become murderous.

As he concentrated his thoughts, a plethora of black energies emanated from his body. These black

energies came together to form a black lotus flower.

The black lotus flower swept toward Saturio and countless black energies entered his body. Saturio’s

energy was instantly absorbed. In an instant, he was turned into a dry corpse.

After James’ Natal Demonic Lotus absorbed all of Saturio’s strength, James sensed that the black

lotus’ aura was slightly stronger. He could feel very potent Demonic Energy coming from the black

lotus. This Demonic Energy was nourishing his physical body.

His body was gaining strength imperceptibly.

James clenched his fist and felt the strength from his body. His face broke into an evil grin.

“How powerful.”

When he was on Earth, he dared not use the Demonic Lotus carelessly. However, it was different in the

Land of Tabal.

All of the other people’s strength was absorbed by the Demonic Lotus. Part of this strength was

returned to his body, and his body became stronger as a result.

His body was comparable to the Herculean Fifth Layer previously. Currently, it was at the Herculean

Sixth Layer.

After he took care of Saturio, James dispelled Sacrilegious Ascension.

The spine formed by the power of heaven and earth vanished. James collapsed to the ground. He did

not even have the strength to pull himself up. At this point, the Demonic Energy in his body began to

flow automatically, repairing his spine.

In the distance, Laelia was bewildered as she watched everything unfold. She had witnessed James

die in the fight and was about to accept her fate.

However, the battle quickly turned around. In a short period of time, James killed Saturio. Furthermore,

the manner in which he killed him was unbelievable to Laelia. It gave her a fright.
