Chapter 5374

Despite Yui’s powerful first attack, James’ injuries healed miraculously in an instant.

Since James wanted to buy more time, he swiftly sealed the powers of the Illus.

James knew very well the members of the Four Ancient Races were no common cultivators.

Moreover, James did not think Yui would honor his promise even if he lost the bet eventually.

Only the weak were bound by the powers of an agreement.

The stronger side could simply neglect the agreement and do whatever they want.

Yui was honestly shocked as he had used his full powers during the first hit.

The other cultivators from the Four Ancient Races also had looks of bewilderment on their faces.

They could hardly believe that a Petit Celestial Rank cultivator came out of that attack completely

unscathed.

“It seems I’ve underestimated you, young man.” Yui began, “I'm impressed by the abilities of those from

Theognostos.

Your cultivation rank is relatively low, yet the powers contained in your body are very strong.

However, I won’t hold back anymore for my remaining attacks.” James flashed him a smile.

“You can come at me with whatever you have.

I won’t even try to avoid it.” Acloud of dark mist started gathering above Yui’s head as he stood in the

same spot, unmoving.

The mists were Yui’s aura.

As Yui’s aura appeared to have heightened, some excessive auras escaped into the surroundings in

the form of black mists.

James could not tell what method or signature skills Yui had used to enhance his aura and powers.

However, he could sense how Yui's aura and powers in the early stage of the Holy Celestial Rank had

been elevated to the level of the late stage of the Holy Celestial Rank.

Those from the Four Ancient Races were not surprised to see the change in Yui’s aura as they were all

aware of his capabilities.

“That Yeftero guy is very strong.” Lemuel furrowed his brows.

“ Although Forty-nine’s body is extremely durable, I don't think he can withstand the attack from a Holy

Celestial Rank cultivator with the late-stage powers.

Wouldn't all of his efforts go to waste if he were to be annihilated by that man this time?” Latrusse

looked worried as well.

“I think he should be able to withstand it.

Also, these lethal hits might be able to help Forty- nine’s soul fuse and synchronize better with his body

each time he survives them.” “Anyhow, you need to intervene if you sense that his life is in danger.”

Lemuel muttered in a low voice, “He and I came this far together.

I don't want to be leaving this place by myself.” On the other hand, Thea and Yuvin had grim

expressions on their faces.

Yuvin, in particular, was astonished when he saw that James had succeeded in taking Yui’s first attack.

However, Yuvin was starting to feel worried again.

They could all see how Yui was prepared to unleash his powers at his true potential this time.

Yui’s next attack would be as powerful as a hit from a cultivator in the late stage of Holy Celestial Rank.

Only a handful of people across the Dark World could survive the hit.

Just then, Yui moved.

Similar to the first attack, Yui teleported toward James and reemerged before him in the blink of an eye.

As Yui’s palm came into contact with James’ chest, James could feel an overwhelming, vicious energy

spread from that spot to the rest of his body.

In a flash, deep cracks formed all over James’ skin.

James’ eyes bulged with shock.

He was frozen to the spot as his mind went blank.

Simultaneously, the Genesis Powers of the various planes ingrained in James’ body were activated.

Those powers formed a protective seal over James’ body.

Unfortunately, the protection generated by the Genesis Powers was shattered almost instantaneously.

For James, time seemed to have been paused at that excruciating moment.

Boom!
