Chapter 3898

Though Fifth Stage Lords were not invincible by any means, they were nonetheless terrifying. In the

outside world, just one of them would be able to wipe out lower-ranked universes. Now, they were

defeated by a single gust of wind.

Upon crashing to the ground, they spurted out a mouthful of blood. Before they could even react, the

beast charged toward them and tried to trample them with its humongous feet. Seeing this, they

hurriedly made their escape.

Seeing that their combined strength could not even scratch the beast, Lord Samsong paid no heed to

the fleeing Lords and hurriedly made his way toward the Light of Acme. He wanted to seize this

opportunity to take away the Light of Acme.

Rumble!

A fierce battle erupted.

The beast could attack its enemies using any part of its body—the horn, tail, and even the scales. With

no means to fight back, the Lords hurriedly fled.

James, on the other hand, remained where he stood. Upon seeing Lord Samsong charging toward the

Light of Acme, his body flashed, and he hurriedly gave chase. Seeing that James was upon him, Lord

Samsong raised the sword in his hand and slashed. A radiant Sword Energy materialized, carrying a

Nine-Power Macrocosm Power that could potentially destroy anything in its path.

Fearful, James dodged the attack.

Boom!

As the Sword Energy struck elsewhere, the void shattered. A huge fissure appeared in the void, and

the scenery seemed out of an apocalyptic movie.

“Samsong, are you going to seize the Light of Acme for yourself?”

James’ face darkened as he said coldly, “We agreed to work together before coming here. Yet, here

you are abandoning your teammates to their fate and taking the Light of Acme for yourself!”

“Stall for time, Forty-nine! I will meet up with you once I obtain the Light of Acme. When that happens,

we will leave this place together and research the Light of Acme. Together, we will reach the Acme

Rank.”

Knowing that James was difficult to deal with, Samsong kept things civilized.

Before James could respond, the beast turned around and spurted out a materialized beam.

Samsong and James swiftly dodged the attack. The former paid no heed to the beast’s attack and

immediately appeared before the Light of Acme. With his immense power, he forcibly stored the Light

of Acme away and turned to leave, leaving James and the others to their fates.

James tried to give chase but was entangled in a fight against the beast. Hence, he had no choice but

to come to blows. He catalyzed Chaos Power and summoned his full strength. Waves of Sword Energy

materialized and struck the beast. However, the beast was unscathed. As the battle progressed, he

was struck by the beast’s attack and suffered injuries. Meanwhile, the other Fifth Stage Lords had

already retreated to the rear. Though the battle only lasted for a short duration, many Lords perished at

the beast’s hand.

“Dammit, he’s strong!”

James was stunned.

As he slashed with the Demon-Slayer Sword, tens of thousands of Sword Energy materialized and

formed a Sword Net that struck the beast. Although the waves of Sword Energy were a direct hit, the

beast remained unscathed.

James knew that his power was far from enough to defeat the beast. At that moment, he thought about

escaping.

After slashing the beast, he hurriedly staggered backward and stayed far away from the region.

However, the beast then turned toward the injured Lords. As they were injured, their movements were

slow, and they could not escape in time.

At that moment, one of the Lords was struck by the beast’s tail, and he instantly disintegrated into

nothingness. Not a speck of his physical body or soul remained.

Upon seeing this, James turned back. His body flashed, and he appeared before the beast in the next

instant. Then, he slashed the beast’s head.
