Chapter 5688

James temporarily ignored the outside affairs. Although he wanted to deal with them, he did not have

the strength to do so. He would be no match against Xayvion even if he reached the Transcendental

Bliss Rank.

He was counting on Hershya, hoping she could master the inscriptions to counter the Obsidian Body.

As long as she succeeded, the chances of killing Xayvion would increase significantly.

“The Transcendental Bliss Rank…”

James closed his eyes and mobilized all his strength. At that moment, his aura skyrocketed.

The Transcendental Bliss Rank required one to sever the Seven Emotions— love, anger, arrogance,

thought, sorrow, fear, and fright.

Soon, James sensed the threshold of the Transcendental Bliss Rank. As long as he broke through the

realm barrier, he would enter it.

James shouted, “Break!”

His aura gathered to form a sharp blade, and then it charged toward the realm barrier.

Boom!

The realm barrier was shattered instantly.

At that moment, James felt like he had entered a different realm. His body rapidly absorbed the energy

around him. His aura, strength, body, blood, and soul were enhanced.

A potent pressure from the darkness swept toward him.

He felt like his body was about to be swallowed, and his soul was being sucked away.

His whole existence seemed like it was about to be sacrificed.

James suddenly felt that his powers did not match his rank. His cultivation rank seemed rather high, but

his power was unusually low. At that moment, his strength did not compare to a powerhouse at the

Holy Celestial Rank.

“Huh? Is this the Ritual Rank?” His brows furrowed.

James immediately thought of the rank between the Quasi Bliss Rank and Transcendental Bliss Rank.

The rank was extraordinary. Sometimes, one would have unusually great strength. Other times, one

would be weak.

In the era where James was from, Talvelai also entered the Ritual Rank.

James had asked many others about the Ritual Rank, but nobody had ever heard of it.

“Did I enter the Ritual Rank? What exactly is so special about this rank?” James frowned.

He could feel the strength of his physical body.

His soul, blood, and physical body had improved significantly. At that moment, they were equivalent to

the Transcendental Bliss Rank’s second stage.

However, his powers were not even comparable to the Holy Celestial Rank.

He was under a crushing force of heaven and earth and found it hard to bear. It seemed like he would

perish into the darkness at any moment.

Meanwhile, an injured man was sitting on a spiritual mountain deep within the Hallr Zone. He suddenly

opened his eyes after sensing the abnormal aura fluctuation.

While staring into the distance, he murmured, “That rank…”

His brows furrowed after he thought of something.

The man summoned an ancient book and flipped through the pages. After reading for a while, he

closed the book and stood up.
