Chapter 2525

James staggered backward due to the overwhelming force. At the same time, an immense power

spread from his arm to his entire body. The Blood Energy inside his body churned, and he spurted out

a mouthful of blood. Then, he was sent flying and collapsed heavily to the ground. Meanwhile, his arm

was completely twisted beyond recognition.

As James collapsed to the ground, many powerful figures in the distance praised Lucifer.

“As expected of the Young Master of the Hadean Clan… To think that he possesses such immense

strength at such a young age!”

“Indeed, he was sealed away at a very young age. Though only a few years have passed since he was

released from the seal, he has reached the Sage Rank. With such potential, the Hadean Clan will have

another extremely powerful figure in the future.”

“Congratulations, Tigranes Xanthippos.”

Many spoke. Some even congratulated Tigranes.

Meanwhile, Tigranes only smiled faintly and said nothing.

In the arena, James stood up with great difficulty and wiped the blood trace off his lips.

Lucifer remained where he stood and looked at James, praising, “I truly underestimated you, James.

Even though you have the Elysian Seal inside your body, you manage to make breakthrough after

breakthrough. You’d have become a Sage if not for the Elysian Seal inside your body.”

James smiled faintly and said, “Even if I’m not a Sage, I can still defeat you nonetheless.”

He was confident in his own strength. Even though he was only at the Mage Rank, James had many

aces up his sleeves. Among them was Sacrilegious Ascension. He also had dragon bones and

Elemental Inversion.

Elemental Inversion was his most terrifying move. When all five elements were combined, their

exponential power would be many times greater than Sacrilegious Ascension.

“Is that so?”

Lucifer smiled faintly and said, “Sacrilegious Ascension is already a very miraculous cultivation method.

It has increased your strength so much that the more you try to increase it, the harder it becomes. I

don’t believe that you can reach the Sage Rank. If you, however, manage to prove me wrong, I’ll be

deeply impressed.”

“Watch me then.” James smiled faintly and catalyzed True Essence inside his body. As True Essence

circulated throughout his body, the dragon bones were stimulated. Then, immense power materialized

from within the dragon bones, and his aura increased once more.

As his aura increased yet again, more Tribulation Clouds appeared in the sky. Heavenly Tribulation

flashed through the clouds, and lightning bolts seemed to be on the verge of striking James anytime.

After using the dragon bones’ power, James’ aura increased and reached the Tribulation Rank’s Third

Stage

Lucifer praised him, “Not bad… You manage to become stronger once more despite being at the

Second Stage. Now, your aura is equivalent to the Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage. However, this is

probably the farthest you can go. How can you ever hope to defeat me without being a Sage?”

The Tribulation Rank had three stages. Each time one weathered the Heavenly Tribulation, his strength

would increase exponentially.

James was at the Mage Rank. Yet, through various tactics and means, he forcibly increased his

strength to the Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage. It shocked many powerful figures in the distance.

“He’s strong.”

“I never thought he’d have that many aces up his sleeves.”

Many exclaimed.

However, there were some who said scornfully. “He’s only capable of increasing his strength drastically

as long as he’s below the Sage Rank. Once he becomes a Sage, it would be difficult for him to

increase his strength any further. Even if he has many tricks up his sleeves, he won’t be able to

increase his rank anymore.”

“You make sense.”

“Even so, he’s really strong. With such insane luck and so many tactics, who exactly is he?”

“Maybe he’s a member of the Hadean Clan.”

“Didn’t you see him use Sacrilegious Ascension of the Primordial Demonic Ape Race? He must be a

Demonic Ape.”

“No, he exudes the aura of a dragon. He should be a dragon.”

Many speculated on James’ identity.

However, only Tigranes knew that James was a member of the human race, a forsaken race of this

era.

“That should be everything you’ve got, James. Now, only the Infinity Steles remain. Summon them and

let us fight to our heart’s content,” Lucifer’s voice boomed.
