Chapter 2296

The monster had the appearance of an ox. It had a single horn on its head and wings on its back, and

its entire body was covered in black scales. As it stood, it exuded a terrifying aura.

“Die, humans!”

It roared.

Stunned, Henry said, “This monster is at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair. James, leave this

creature to me. I haven’t been able to use my strength after so many years of cultivation. Just sit back

and watch the show.”

Just as Henry was about to charge toward the monster, James made his move.

A black stone tablet materialized in the air and began growing in size. In the next instant, it was already

hundreds of meters in length. Mysterious symbols were carved on the tablet. It possessed terrifying

power and flew toward the monster.

It was the Infinity Stele.

Though James had had it in his possession for quite some time, he had never used it as his current

rank was insufficient for him to gain insight into the Inscription of the Way recorded on the Infinity Stele.

At that moment, the object was simply a blunt weapon to him.

Boom!

The Infinity Stele crashed into the monster that was at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair. The

monster’s scales shattered, and blood trickled down its wound.

James then summoned a few more Infinity Steles and sent them flying toward the monster. Just like

that, the monster at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair was pummeled to death before it could even

react.

“What the…”

Henry and Delainey were shocked.

Meanwhile, James was wearing a satisfied look.

The Infinity Steles’ power truly was impressive.

At that moment, Sophie’s voice could be heard inside his head. “The Infinity Steles are treasures

created when the universe was born. As such, they possess unlimited power. Of course, their power is

also directly correlated to your strength. The higher your rank, the greater their power. However, as the

power they demonstrate is too overwhelming, I’d caution against using them constantly. After all, you’ll

be in deep trouble if others learn of this.”

“Got it.”

James nodded and stored the Infinity Steles away.

Henry looked at the motionless monster below in disbelief and turned his head to look at James,

asking, “What was that, James? How did you manage to defeat the monster just like that?”

James smiled and said, “You won’t believe this, but this is the providence that appeared on Earth after

the First Calamity.”

Henry praised him, “I was even prepared to show you my strength. I didn’t expect you to defeat the

monster with such ease. Looks like this tournament is going to be a piece of cake!” “Let’s have a look

at the monster.

The three descended from the sky and appeared beside the monster that had lost all signs of life and

whose body was smashed into pieces.

James summoned the Primordial Dragon Blade, catalyzed Sword Energy, and pierced through the

monster’s body. Then, he found a black elixir the size of a fist that exuded powerful energy.

James stored the elixir away and grinned. “There we have it, our first elixir. Not only that, but this is an

elixir from a monster at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair. I’m afraid the other cultivators at this

tournament would have to use their full strength to defeat such a monster.” “How impressive!”

“Alright now, stop kissing my *ss already. Since this monster is at the Eighth Stair, its meat contains

powerful energy. We should take a slice and roast it for dinner.”

“Sure thing.”

Henry nodded and went to extract the meat.

Then, he headed to a nearby river to clean the meat.

The three gathered by a bonfire and roasted the meat. Soon, the smell of the succulent meat filled the

air.

The three ate to their hearts’ content as they chit-chatted through the night.

Many people were still searching for monsters. No one knew that James and the others had already

defeated a monster at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair.
