When James heard those words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At long last, he got through this checkpoint. Finally, he was qualified to go straight to the ninth checkpoint.
He was the first to reach the ninth checkpoint, so he had the best chance of obtaining the Celestial Abode.
James put away the Primordial Dragon Blade.
The shadow glanced at the Son of Heaven, who was lying on the ground and on the verge of death, then casually waved its hand. A pill appeared in its palm. It gave the pill to the Son of Heaven and said, “You can’t fight in your current state. For the sake of fairness, take this pill first.”
The Son of Heaven slowly accepted the pill and swallowed it.
It was an amazing pill and very effective. Soon after the Son of Heaven took it, he was able to stand up.
The shadow removed the Magic Circle surrounding the arena.
James walked away from the arena.
Marcello quickly approached him, his face filled with admiration. He said, “You’re amazing! I had no idea you have such an ultimate move at your disposal, and that you would deal serious damage to the Son of Heaven, claim the victory, and gain the qualification to advance directly to the ninth checkpoint.”
James grinned with pride. He managed to defeat the Son of Heaven. It was something to be proud of.
After all, the Son of Heaven’s level of ability was far too high. He had entered the Herculean rank, which was what he aspired to be.
The shadow looked at the people around it and said, “You have nothing to worry about. The ninth checkpoint is truly challenging. It will not be easy to get through. Furthermore, for those of you who do not qualify to advance directly to the ninth level, if you prevail in one-on-one combat, you can still advance to the next checkpoint.”
The shadow’s words were reassuring. Everyone felt a great sense of relief.
If James beat them to it, their previous efforts would have been in vain.
The shadow looked at James and said, “First and foremost, congratulations on advancing directly to the ninth checkpoint. However, with your current abilities, you won’t be able to pass the final checkpoint just yet. Being the first to reach the ninth checkpoint might not be enough to get you the Celestial Abode.”
As it said that, it waved his hand casually.
A powerful surge of energy formed in its palm. This surge of energy enveloped James’ body. He jumped, lifted off the ground, and floated up into the sky.
