Chapter 3522

“That guy…”

Herschel’s expression was grim.

He thought James would not stand a chance against Xesus Leofwine, a figure who was ranked last in

the Martial Ranking. However, the outcome of the battle stunned him. Not only was Xesus defeated,

but he even conceded defeat. This meant that James had now replaced Xesus’ spot in the Martial

Ranking.

A grin crept up on Thea’s face as she asked, “So Herschel, how was James’ performance?”

Herschel said with a serious look on his face, “Not bad… A genius like him has not appeared in a very

long time. Perhaps someone like him has never existed before.”

Herschel spoke highly of James, whose performance was unrivaled.

“But…” Herschel continued, “This is only just the beginning. Xesus Leofwine is ranked last in the

Martial Ranking.novelebook.com You should know the power disparity between the last and the first.”

Thea smiled.

She knew that. However, she also knew that James still had many tricks up his sleeves. Meanwhile,

Sienna simply remained silent.

Outside the Callahans…

After Xesus conceded defeat, he dragged his limp body and left. As the battle ended, the Formation

Boundary in the surroundings disappeared.

James stored the Infinity Steles and the Yin and Yang Path Seal away and dissipated his aura. Then,

he descended from the sky and landed steadily on a pile of rubble.

Then, he scrutinized the map Thea gave him. After confirming his directions, he continued on his way.

By stepping a single step forward, he appeared thousands of meters away. In just a few steps, he had

disappeared without a trace. Though the distance to Mount Heavenly Path was far, James could surely

arrive at his destination by traveling through the void. Everything now depended on what figure stood in

his way.

James traveled in the direction of Mount Heavenly Path. Meanwhile, those who were eager to watch

the show followed close behind.

After traveling for a few days, James did not encounter any enemies.

Meanwhile, Herschel was deep in contemplation on Mount Heavenly Path. Since James was able to

defeat Xesus, that would mean that there was no point in sending more prodigies after James. Now, he

could only send his strongest.

He began to formulate a plan. He would send the top three rankers of the Martial Ranking to block

James’ path. These were terrifying figures who had cultivated more than seven Paths.

Once he made his decision, he looked at Thea and smiled faintly, saying, “Thea, I won’t be sending

more people to stop James.”

Hearing this, Thea looked at him puzzledly.

Herschel said smilingly, “He will be able to reach Mount Heavenly Path safely. However, it won’t be

easy for him to step foot inside. There will be three prodigies who are ranked in the top three of the

Martial Ranking stationed outside.”

Thea took a deep breath.

Top three of the Martial Ranking? As a Caelum Ancestral God, she knew just how terrifying these

figures were. The top three spots had remained unchanged for thousands of Epochs, and these figures

were certainly beings who dominated an age. They simply remained in the Ninth Heaven Grand

Emperor Rank not because they wanted to dominate the rankings. Rather, they had no confidence in

reaching the Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank. As such, they had been waiting for fortune and

providence. Once the opportunity presented itself, they would make a breakthrough and cross into the

Caelum Ancestral God Rank in the shortest amount of time possible.

‘Can James really defeat the top three of the Martial Ranking?’ Thea wondered in her heart.
