Chapter 4886

Despite James being at the Late Stage of the Ninth Rank of the Omniscience Path and having the

protection of the Greater Paths, he could only hold on until the eleventh step of the Defying Heavens

Art.

“Impressive.”

“The Defying Heavens Art has a total of thirty-three steps, and James could only endure through

eleven steps.”

“Who on this battle arena can persevere until Byron completes his Defying Heavens Art?”

Countless powerhouses were astounded.

Byron stood in the void, enveloped by the power of heaven and earth. His aura was strong, akin to an

invincible war god. He gazed down.

At that moment, a man slowly emerged from the ruins below, and it was James. As he stepped out of

the ruins, the ground beneath him instantly restored itself.

At this moment, James appeared disheveled. He appeared in mid-air in an instant, wiping the blood

from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Byron and asked, “Does your Defying Heavens Art have any

connection to the Sacrilegious Ascension of the Demonic Ape Race?”

Byron smiled faintly and said, “A long time ago, a powerhouse of the Demonic Ape Race cultivated in

the

Saber Sect for a while. The Sword Master rewarded him with a fragment of the Defying Heavens Art,

and he was quite remarkable. After studying it, he created the Sacrilegious Ascension, though it’s only

effective at lower cultivation ranks. Its potency diminishes as one’s cultivation rank improves.”

“I see,” James said with enlightenment. Then, he looked at Byron and said, “Please continue. I want to

see how

powerful you become after completing thirty-three steps.”

“Don’t seek your own demise,” Byron warned. “I’ve left you a way out. After I complete the Defying

Heavens Art with thirty -three steps, I can shatter even Chaos Rank powerhouses.”

James gestured.

“Since you’re so eager for death, I’ll grant you the opportunity,” Byron’s voice came out coldly.

At this moment, James secretly activated the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra, harnessing other

powers as well. Two mysterious forces surged within him.

This place concealed many powerhouses from hidden sects. They might be from the era of Emperor

Raiah. James was worried that the power he had cultivated would be noticed, so he discreetly used

these forces to shield himself. He wanted to see just how terrifying the Defying Heavens Art could be.

Two powers circulated within him, protecting his vital organs and meridians, allowing him to temporarily

resist the pressure from the Defying Heavens Art.

In this moment, Byron took his twelfth step. As he did, the aura of heaven and earth multiplied instantly,

crushing down on James.

It was terrifying with the combined forces of heaven and earth and Byron’s own power. Even though

James exerted his utmost with the power of the Two Path Techniques, he nearly lost his balance.

After a slight sway, he regained his footing and stood once again in the void.

At this moment, he unleashed the power of the Three Path Techniques, and three mysterious forces

shielded him.

When Byron took another step, James remained unwavering.

‘He is mysterious,’ Byron thought, but he did not hesitate and took another step. His aura and power

grew stronger. Soon, he took thirty steps.

After thirty steps, his aura became even more dreadful. He was not a Thousand Paths Holy Body, but

the Greater Paths revolved around him.

Meanwhile, James had already harnessed the power of the Four Path Techniques. With the power of

the Four Path Techniques, he could completely resist Byron’s Defying Heavens Art.

James knew that the next three steps would be the most terrifying. Silently, he activated the fifth power,

merging all five powers within him together.
