James was never one who would choose to kill unnecessarily.
At first, he felt quite burdened when he learned that he had to kill off all living beings in this universe to pass the trial.
It was only after he had confirmed he did not gain any bad karma that he felt a slight sense of relief.
Still, there was a grim look in his eyes. He knew that the killing he had just executed was only a minor part of what he had to accomplish in the first trial.
‘The biggest concern for me now is the Yaneiri King, a talented and renowned cultivator whose name would strike fear in any normal living being.
‘If it weren't for the sudden and mysterious disappearance, the Yaneiri King would have undoubtedly reached the Caelum Acme Rank and become the first person to do that post the Sky Burial Age,ʼ James concluded inwardly.
“A man whoʼs achieved the Boundless for both Quasi and Permanence Acme Rank. Then, he even went on to reach the Terra Acme Rank. He must be an outstanding cultivator.”
James tightened his grip on the sword handle.
Then, he activated the Divine Sense. Soon enough, he found a place where he could detect an incredibly powerful aura.
James knew instinctively that the aura belonged to the Yaneiri King. He turned his gaze to the faraway horizon. Then, he started teleporting toward the direction where he had felt the aura earlier.
‘I’m curious to find out what the Yaneiri King is capable of.
‘If I fail to kill him this time, Iʼll have to quickly train and try to achieve higher cultivation ranks. I need to defeat the man in thirty thousand years.’ James thought.
At the same time, a young man who seemed to be in his mid-twenties was sitting inside a huge hall located at Mount Yaneiri.
The man was quietly reading an old, yellowed book. He seemed immensely intrigued by the contents of the book as he would occasionally pause and frown whenever he found something unexpected.
“Brother.”
