Chapter 2040
James said with a smile, "The last checkpoint is very simple. Defeat her, and you'll get the Celestial Abode.”
When he heard that, Marcello let out a sigh of relief.
The woman was looking at Marcello. Her eyes released a white ray of light that landed on Marcello.
"Oh. You're quite impressive. You've already reached the fourth layer of the Herculean rank at such a young age.”
On the woman's face, there was a hint of surprise.
She was created, and her abilities were exceptional. She could find out Marcello's age and his cultivation base.
With such strength at such a young age, he was undoubtedly talented.
"Since you're at the Herculean rank’s fourth layer, I'll limit my rank to the Herculean rank's fourth layer. Make your
move. Defeat me, and you'll receive the Celestial Spirit."
The woman's voice rang out.
"Sure.” Marcello was eager to start as well.
He acted quickly. In a flash, he appeared in front of the woman. His long, slender fingers clenched into a fist and
delivered a blow with terrifying force.
The woman smiled faintly and raised her hand. From her fingertips, a mystical power manifested.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, Marcello felt an invisible pressure charging toward him. His attack was instantly neutralized, and this formless
force descended upon him, sending him flying.
After seeing Marcello sent flying by an attack, James was delighted.
He thought he would be the only one to be sent flying with a single attack, but Marcello showed up and did the
same.
Marcello dragged himself up from the ground, a shocked expression on his pale, clear face. 'You... Is your strength
really at the Herculean rank's fourth layer?"
'Yes," said the woman, "I limit my strength to whatever rank my opponent is at.”
'That’s impossible. How can you knock me back with a single attack if we are of the same rank?" Marcello looked
doubtful.
The woman explained, "Just because you haven’t seen it before doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
"Again." Marcello was unconvinced. He began to attack once again.
He was very fast. He was moving so fast that James could not see him clearly.
When he had a clear view of him, Marcello had already appeared in front of the woman. However, as soon as he
appeared, he was knocked into the air.
Even someone as strong as Marcello was unable to fight back against the woman. He could not even get close to
her.
After watching up until this point, James was relieved.
At least he could knock back the woman a few steps when he used Cosmic Destruction.
Marcello was persistent. He kept trying.
After several attacks, the results were all the same. He could not even get close to the woman.
Finally, he gave up.
The woman put her hands behind her back, looked at James and Marcello, and said, 'You both have decent
strength. Both of you have a lot of potential. However, if you want to defeat me, you won't be able to do that just
yet."
"How do we defeat you, then?” James asked, puzzled.
The woman glanced at James and said, 'Your current rank is very low, but your physical strength is extremely
powerful. If you want to defeat me, you’ll need to keep cultivating and raise your rank to the Supernatural's Eight
Inner Gates. Then, building on this foundation, compress your True Energy and rank.
"When you feel that you can no longer suppress them, you can come back and try again. Maybe you’ll have a
chance to beat me then."
After saying that, the woman turned to Marcello and said, "You as well. Although you have a good cultivation base,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyour rank is not entirely stable. It is a bit of a vanity symbol, even. What you need to do is continue to stabilize your
rank and lay a solid foundation."
As soon as the woman said that, Marcello understood.
'Thank you for the information. If I leave now, will I be able to return to the Celestial Abode in the future and
challenge again?”
"Mhm."
The woman nodded softly and said, "As long as the Celestial Abode doesn’t have an owner, you are welcome to
challenge me at any time.”
After hearing that, Marcello dragged James along with him and walked." Let's first get out of here, James. Even if
we stay, we won't get the Celestial Abode."
"Ah. We're leaving now?"
James was a little reluctant. He said, "Many people are behind us. Isn’t it a shame if we leave now and the Celestial
Abode is taken by someone else?"
Marcello said, 'That won't happen. Even I can't defeat her, so the people behind us won’t be able to either. Instead
of waiting here, we should first leave this place, go outside, and cultivate. When we're stronger, we'll come back to
challenge her again."
