Chapter 5373

Unfortunately, Yui failed to detect how James’ body was made out of various precious materials

meticulously combined.

That was because James had layered those base materials heavily with the Genesis Powers of

countless planes of existence.

Then, he had carefully fused his soul into his current body, bit by bit.

Therefore, others could hardly discern the subtle difference between James’ body and the bodies of

other living beings.

Yui was completely oblivious to the fact that James’ body was practically impenetrable.

“Alright.” After afew moments’ consideration, Yui agreed to James’ suggestion for a bet.

“T hope you won’t regret this, Yui Yeftero,” James replied.

“IT won’t.

If you succeed in taking three hits from me, me and my men will leave at once,” Yui said unwaveringly.

Yui felt extremely confident with his powers that he would agree to a battle with a cultivator in the late

stage of the Holy Celestial Rank in a heartbeat.

He could hardly see James, who was a Petit Celestial Rank cultivator, as a threat.

“You can start now.” James took a few steps forward and teleported to a spot further away in the dark

void.

Simultaneously, Yui moved into the same area of the void as James.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Four Ancient Races remained in their spots.

Yui lifted his hand.

A ball of energy started forming at the center of his palm.

A faint smile flickered across his lips as Yui stared at the back of his hand.

Suddenly, Yui teleported and reappeared before James.

He held his palm right against James’ chest.

A huge crack formed over James’ chest the second Yui’s palm came into contact with him.

The crack branched into fine, long cracks that spread all over James’ body.

Fortunately, James managed to keep his body intact.

At the same time, James was sent flying in the air due to the force of Yui’s attack.

The attack was so powerful that cracks had appeared in the surrounding space and tremors could even

be felt thousands of meters away.

When James had finally managed to steady himself, he felt something hot come up his throat and

coughed up blood almost instantly.

Although James’ body was greatly enhanced to make it resilient, Yui was nonetheless able to inflict

actual damage to his body.

Also, James could feel an agonizing pain in his soul as it was affected by Yui’s attack as well.

He grimaced in pain.

Still, due to the unique characteristics of James’ body and the powers of the Illus, James possessed

extraordinary defense and self -healing powers in his body.

In a matter of seconds, all of the injuries found on James’ body were healed.

‘shit! Why were they healed? I was hoping to buy more time by saying I needed to treat those wounds

first before taking the second hit!’ James cursed inwardly.

Then, he quickly sealed the Illus to suppress its powers temporarily.

Meanwhile, Yui was staring at James with an intense gaze.

He was deemed a rare genius cultivator of his era who had surpassed many of his talented peers.

Also, this was the first time in a very long while Yui had fully unleashed his powers.

He did not use any special items or signature skills.

However, that first attack was a demonstration of the full powers of Yui’s cultivation base.

Normally, even someone of the same cultivation rank as Yui would sustain severe injuries upon

receiving that hit.

However, James, who was merely a Petit Celestial Rank cultivator, appeared completely fine after

taking the hit.

‘Who is this man? Was he telling the truth about the Theognostos? Do they have cultivators who have

entered the legendary Transcendental Bliss Rank? Could the children of those cultivators have

exceptional talents in cultivation as well?’ Yui pondered.

Yui could not help but feel alarmed as he considered those possibilities.
