Chapter 3874

After hearing Sienna’s words, James had a strong intuition that a conspiracy was quietly unfolding, or

in other words, there had been an invisible force controlling everything all along.

There had always been a mysterious force hiding in the dark, and Yukia was their greatest nemesis.

At his current strength, James’ intuitions were very accurate, and there could not be any mistakes.

James felt he was close to the truth and was only one step away.

He would unravel the truth very soon.

“Where is Xerxes?” asked James.

Sienna replied, “When he contacted me, he was close to leaving the Hate Welkin. However, I don’t

know where he is now. I tried contacting him again but couldn’t get through to him.”

“Let’s go find him immediately.”

The two quickly left Mount Malevolent Moon and rushed to the Hate Welkin.

…

Somewhere in the Hate Welkin, a crack appeared in the sky.

A man and woman emerged quietly from the crack.

They were in a primitive mountain range. There were towering, old trees that intertwined, extending

high into the sky and covering it. The surrounding area was catastrophic, and it was evident a fierce

battle had taken place.

The two were none other than Sienna and James, who had rushed over. Sienna looked below her and

said, “Xerxes must’ve contacted me from this area. I can sense a lingering trace of his aura here, but I

can’t locate him. He must have gone into hiding.”

Her expression grew increasingly solemn.

“I know that Xerxes is powerful. If he was pushed into such desperation, his opponent must be really

strong. They’re probably not just a Ninth Stage Lord. There could’ve been multiple Ninth Stage Lords or

even the legendary existences, Acmeans. If that’s the case, the Dark Strife back then must be far

beyond what our current strength can handle.”

James scanned his surroundings, trying to judge where Xerxes had fled by the aura he left behind.

While doing so, he said, “Let’s not discuss this for now. We need to find Xerxes as soon as possible to

ask him what happened.”

James sensed Xerxes’ aura in the area.

He casually waved his hand and grabbed a trace of the aura.

James used the aura to locate Xerxes’ location. However, a magical force immediately shattered the

Extrapolation Formation that appeared.

Seeing the broken Extrapolation Formation, James’ expression became increasingly solemn.

“It seems you’re right. Xerxes’ opponent is terrifyingly strong. I’m not able to locate him.”

After speaking, James casually waved his hand, and potent Time Power emerged.

James unleashed his Time Path’s Power. Although the Time Path was suppressed in the Dark World,

he could still use it to a certain limit. His Time Power permeated the area, and time in the area began to

regress.

However, a magical force emerged and disintegrated James’ Time Path’s Power. The time immediately

returned to normal. James suffered a backlash, and he stumbled a few steps backward.

“What’s wrong?” Sienna immediately went to support him.

James slightly waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing. There’s a potent force left in this area that’s

protecting the time here. It’s preventing me from regressing time to when Xerxes was in this area.

“Then, what should we do?” Sienna looked at James helplessly.

She was an Eighth Stage Lord and had cultivated the Dark Path. She became one by absorbing Dark

Matter. She hardly understood the various Paths of the Illuminated World.

“Don’t panic.” James slightly waved his hand.

“As long as Xerxes has been here, I can track his whereabouts. I’m really curious to find out what kind

of powerhouse appeared here. The energy left in this area is enough to disrupt my Path Power.”

James’ face became solemn.

Afterward, he used his Chaos Path’s Power.
