Chapter 4259

The Devouring Demon was greatly displeased. He went through a lot of trouble to create the 12 death

spirits. However, James had effortlessly obliterated one of them. He felt incredibly distressed to see it

die before him.

However, there was no time for him to grieve. It was important that he figure out how to take out James

while minimizing his losses.

Meanwhile, the other competition participants were gathered far away at the border of the formation

that encircled the Sky Islands.

Everyone was spectating James’ battle.

After witnessing James’ strength, all of them were astounded.

Out of curiosity, one asked, “A Terra Acmean in their early stage wielding a Light of Acme, and twelve

death spirits at the Eternal Boundless Rank. Who in the Greater Realms could stand a chance against

such a formidable individual?”

Another creature replied to him, “Probably only the Grand Patriarchs or Patriarchs from the Ten Great

Races.”

“Indeed. Among the known powerhouses, there should be about twenty or so that can take him on. The

Greater Realm has a storied history, and there may still be powerhouses unknown to us.”

Many creatures began to discuss amongst themselves.

They concluded that only the Ten Great Race’s Grand Patriarchs and Patriarchs could oppose the

Devouring Demon. This implied that James’ current strength was equivalent to these 20 or so

powerhouses.

James was only a Quasi Acmean and still had much room for improvement. Once he reaches the

Permanence Acme Rank or Terra Acme Rank, he would be almost invincible.

Right then, the two were still locked in a stalemate.

After trading a few blows, James and the Devouring Demon did not rush back to battle.

James stared at the Devouring Demon, and then at the 11 death spirits, asking, “If you want the Chaos

Sacred Art, I could possibly give it to you. However, how sure are you that you’d cultivate it

successfully? It’s the Doom Race’s Supernatural Power. To cultivate it, Chaos Power is required.”

The Devouring Demon assumed James was fearful and was trying to negotiate.

He replied ruthlessly, “You won’t have to worry about that. Just hand it over to me. My offer still stands.

If you give it to me, I won’t destroy your soul and will allow you to be reincarnated. Considering your

cultivation rank, you should be able to reincarnate with your memories intact.”

James put up a finger and moved it from side to side, saying, “You don’t get it. I’m pretty sure you’re

just one of

Youri’s monstrous creations. However, he didn’t manage to subjugate you completely. I’m sure he

promised to give you the Doom Race’s cultivation method in exchange for your servitude. Your ultimate

goal is the Chaos Sacred Art, isn’t it? Instead of Youri, how about you work for me? I can provide you

anything he offered you. Even better, I can give you what he can’t.”

Actually, James was not really confident in defeating the Devouring Demon. Even if he could wipe out

the remaining death spirits, fighting the Devouring Demon would exact a heavy toll. He might be lucky

enough to kill his opponent but would definitely suffer a heavy loss in the process.

“Haha.”

The Devouring Demon snickered and said, “Are you seriously that naive, Wyot? Do you really think I’d

submit to you?”

James looked at him and said calmly, “Anything is possible if we can negotiate properly.”

“Don’t you know how terrifying Elder Youri is? Even if I agreed to follow you, he’ll kill me once he finds

out.”

Not only was the Devouring Demon unwilling to serve James, but he was also afraid of the

consequences of doing so.

James responded, “I know he’s strong, but no matter how strong he is, he only reached the

Omniscience Path’s Ninth Stage. Moreover, he’s been stuck at the Terra Acme Rank and hasn’t yet

made it to the Caelum Acme Rank yet. As long as he isn’t a Caelum Acmean yet, I can definitely

surpass him.

“With a little more time, I’ll grow stronger than him.

“You should reconsider. Should we fight to our deaths or make a deal? You can serve me and be my

errand boy. In exchange, I’ll give you the Chaos Sacred Art. I can even give you the Primal Mantra if

you want as well. Youri isn’t the

only one that wants to obtain the Blithe Omniscience. I’m also very much interested in it. Who do you

think has a higher chance of getting it?”

“How long has it been since his birth, and what about me? If you think about it, the answer to who has

greater potential is quite apparent.

“Why don’t you give it another thought?”

James’ voice gradually grew louder. At the same time, his aura also rose rapidly. He slowly approached

the Devouring Demon. With each step he took, the Devouring Demon took a respective step backward.
