Chapter 2448

Even though the current environment was detrimental to the human race, James was determined to

work through it.

“By the way…” James suddenly thought of something and asked, “What rank were the powerhouses

that were fighting just now? The aftermath of their battle was terrifying! They destroyed everything

within a several million kilometer range.”

Sophie replied, “It’s a battle between powerhouses at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage. Those individuals

were very close to becoming Grand Emperors. It seems there are a few of them hanging around the

area. It’s possible a great treasure has appeared somewhere, attracting these amazing powerhouses

to fight over it.”

“They’re at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage and are very close to becoming Grand Emperors, you say?”

James sucked in a sharp breath.

“Aren’t we in the Mortal Dimension? Why are powerhouses from the Divine Dimension here?”

“I’m not sure, but be extremely careful. This area is full of dangers, and you might die if you act

recklessly.”

“Then I’d better get going and leave this place as soon as possible.”

James did not dare to linger in the area a moment longer.

Powerhouses at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage who were at the cusp of becoming Grand Emperors

were fighting around the area. They could kill him several times over with the flick of a finger.

“Don’t leave.”

Sophie replied, “It must be an exceptional treasure for such powerful people to be fighting over it. Let’s

have a look. Who knows? We might get lucky.”

“Huh?”

Shocked, James asked, “Get lucky? Are you joking, Ms. Sophie? It’s a fight between powerhouses at

the Divine Rank’s Third Stage. I’d be walking straight into my grave.”

Sophie replied indifferently, “Pfft. Why are you worrying about them when I’m here? Chill out.”

“Hmm? Aren’t you scared of accumulating Karma by helping me?”

Inside the Celestial Abode, Sophie was seated in the gazebo in the City Lord’s Mansion’s backyard.

She rolled her eyes and replied, “You’re still hung up on that? I almost got killed by the Heavenly Path

trying to figure out how to help you get the Five Elements of Genesis. Fortunately, Emperor Jabari’s

soul hadn’t completely dissipated, and he protected me. Otherwise, I’d already be dead by now. Right

now, our fates. are strongly bound together. As such, I’ve nothing to worry about.”

Startled, James asked, “Are you serious? You almost died? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

“What’s the use of telling you?”

Haah!

James took a deep breath, then put that thought away. He tilted his head. “So does that mean you can

directly involve yourself and help kill the enemies that stand in my way?”

Sophie shook her head and said, “Nope. If you’re always depending on me, it’ll be detrimental to your

growth.”

“Fine.” James pouted disappointedly.

“However, I’ll help you this once. So go ahead and check it out. I’m curious to see how strong they are

and what they’re fighting over.”

Sophie’s voice came from the Celestial Abode.

“Okay.” James readily agreed.

With Sophie providing him support, he had nothing to fear.

However, he was still in the dark about Sophie’s cultivation rank and just had to ask her, “Ms. Sophie,

are you already a Grand Emperor?”

Sophie said, “It’s not that easy to reach that stage. Only a handful of people have become Grand

Emperors since ancient times. Although I’m not yet a Grand Emperor, I’m very close to it. I’m

considered a Quasi-Emperor at the moment. Unless I face a Grand Emperor, I’m pretty much

invincible.”

“Incredible.” James could not help but express his admiration.

Then, he walked through the air.

The mountain range below him before was turned into heaps of rubble from the battle’s aftermath.

Some beasts dwelling in these mountains were also killed.

The whole area was dead silent.

James floated through the air and could only see rubble as far as his eye could see.

After journeying for three days, he still had not reached the battlefield. James’ traveling speed made

Sophie impatient, so she used her power to wrap around James and propel him forward.

Sophie unleashed an explosive burst of energy and brought him to the perimeter of the battlefield in an

instant.

James saw the fierce battle taking place in front of him.
