Chapter 2495

After cultivating at the Labhranns’ holy site for some time, he had reached the Immortal Ascension’s

Ninth Stair. Now, he was only a step away from reaching the Mage Rank.

Meanwhile, Sophie had made arrangements for his Yogacara, which was a wave of invincible Sword

Energy left behind by a powerful figure of the Primeval Age.

After making a breakthrough, he left the holy site and returned to the accommodation prepared by the

Labhranns.

It was an independent courtyard. Upon his arrival, he noticed Henrik and Qusai happily chit-chatting

away. Wearing a saffron robe, the chubby-looking Henrik was leaning against his chair. With his feet on

the table, he said lazily, “Brielle’s tournament is just around the corner. I wonder if James can make it

on time.”

Beside him, Qusai, who was wearing a huge robe, nibbled on a tiny blade of grass, saying coolly, “I

don’t think James is interested in Brielle.”

“Indeed.” Henrik said, “Brielle’s not an ordinary woman. If she was, I wouldn’t want James to marry her

either.”

Hearing this, Qusai’s curiosity was piqued. He leaned forward and asked, “I heard that the Labhranns

aren’t simple. Although the Azurean Clan and the Hadean Clan are the only formidable forces in the

Demon Realm, the Labhranns are held in high status as well. They once had a glorious past.”

Henrik nodded and said, “But of course! Few know of the Labhranns’ history. The Labhrann Clan was

once a terrifying force. Even now, they still aren’t a force to be reckoned with. The Hadean Clan is

desperately trying to broker a marriage between Lucifer Menachem and Brielle because they wish to

associate themselves with the Labhranns.”

James overheard the conversation.

He asked, “Did the Labhranns have a glorious past?”

Hearing this, Henrik and Qusai turned their heads.

Henrik stood up and said, “James, you’ve left your closed-door meditation?”

“Yes.”

James nodded and walked over to them before taking a seat.

Qusai greeted him, “James.”

James asked again, “Are the Labhranns powerful?”

“Very.”

Speaking of the Labhranns’ history, Henrik was exhilarated. He began narrating non-stop. “There are

countless races and clans in the Demon Realm, and those strongest among them are the Hadean

Clan, the Azurean Clan, and the Labhranns.

“During the Primordial Age, the Labhranns once produced a Grand Emperor who possessed enormous

strength. He reigned supreme in the Demon Realm for eighty million years. However, something

unexpected happened, which brought about the fall of this Grand Emperor.”

Hearing this, James was somewhat shocked.

A Grand Emperor was a being who stood at the top of the power pyramid. Since the Labhranns were

able

to produce a Grand Emperor, they were not pushovers.

Henrik scanned his surroundings. Realizing they were alone, he whispered, “I heard from my master

that the powerful figures of the Labhranns received half of a Curse Magic in the Primordial Age.

Rumors say that they cultivated the Curse Magic to perfection. This brought about the misfortune that

generated their downfall.”

James knew about Curse Magics.

“What is this Curse Magic?”

Henrik shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. I only know that this Curse Magic originated in the

Primeval Age. Even then, it was a terrifying cultivation method.

“The Curse Magic had been long lost. That’s why the Curse Magic controlled by the families and clans

of the Demon Race are all incomplete. However, even an incomplete Curse Magic possesses

devastating power.”

Henrik described the Curse Magic. However, he did not know the details either.

James did not ask any further questions.

“By the way…” Qusai asked, “You’re about to cross into the Mage Rank, right?”

“Yep.”
