Chapter 2377
James’ breakthrough exceeded Lucifer’s expectations. He had given James a month to recover and heal his injuries.
However, he did not expect James to improve his cultivation rank in just a few days.
James’ breakthrough also brought hope to humankind.
[So, it’s possible to break through the seal.]
[If James can make a breakthrough, so can we.]
[Let’s do our best!]
James was unaware of the hope his breakthrough had brought to all humans. The hopeless humans were now
optimistic again.
Meanwhile, James entered the Celestial Abode and went to the room to temper his True Essence.
After entering the Celestial Abode, he began to cultivate determinedly.
His goal was to reach the Immortal Ascension’s Third Stair.
It should be feasible with the remaining time he had left.
The Primordial Energy in the room was powerful. James’ body was unable to reach its full capacity. As he absorbed
the energy, his True Essence increased rapidly. However, the magical formation continuously
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcondensed his True Essence.
Although his strength kept increasing, his True Essence was improving relatively slowly.
This time, he cultivated for three years.
With the concentrated Primordial Energy, he reached the peak of the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair within three
years.
Although he had cultivated in the Celestial Abode for three years, only twelve days had passed outside
With the addition of the time he spent cultivating previously, only half a month had passed outside. The battle
against Lucifer was only ten days away.
James overestimated himself.
He thought he could reach the Immortal Ascension’s Seventh Stair with the time he had, but he could only reach
the Sixth Stair. Although he could only reach the Sixth Stair, his True Essence was powerful. He was confident in
going against a powerhouse at the Immortal Ascension’s Ninth Stair, even if he did not use Sacrilegious Ascension
or the dragon bone’s power.
That was the benefit of reaching the pinnacle of every cultivation rank.
His True Essence was abundant, allowing him to go against one stronger than himself.
James left the Celestial Abode to make his breakthrough outside.
Mount Mala had been demolished and become ruins.
James appeared in the ruins in a remote area where there were no beasts around. Then, he quickly began to make
a breakthrough.
As soon as he activated his True Essence, the seals appeared, sealing all the meridians and acupoints throughout
his body. At that moment, thousands of black threads quickly oozed out of his body.
The black threads gathered and formed a silhouette.
James was stunned by the scene.
“What is this?”
At that moment, Sophie’s voice came from the Celestial Abode. “James, be careful. This is the Embodiment of the
Heavenly Path.
“Huh?” James was taken aback.
He asked, “The Embodiment of the Heavenly Path? What’s that? Why would it appear now?”
Sophie explained, “Cultivation itself is something that goes against the heavens. While you cultivate, you’ll also
encounter some tribulations. The higher your cultivation rank, the more difficult your tribulation will be. The
Heavenly Path’s Embodiment is a clone of the Heavenly Path.
“From my understanding, the Heavenly Path’s Embodiment will only appear when you’re attempting to break
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthrough to become a Grand Emperor. If you defeat it, you’ll become a Grand Emperor.”
Sophie took a deep breath.
“I never expected you to face the Heavenly Path’s Embodiment. It seems you’re really extraordinary. Otherwise,
the Heavenly Path’s Embodiment wouldn’t appear.”
Hearing Sophie’s explanation, James frowned and said, “Could it be that I have to defeat this so-called Heavenly
Path’s Embodiment to make a breakthrough?”
Sophie said, “Mhm, that’s correct. However, you don’t have to worry. The Heavenly Path’s Embodiment will be
adjusted to your cultivation rank. You’re currently at the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair, so the Heavenly Path’s
Embodiment will also be at the same rank.”
Hearing this, James heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as the Heavenly Path’s Embodiment was not of a rank too high, he was confident in defeating it.
Sophie seemed to have read James’ thoughts and reminded him, “Be careful. Don’t act recklessly. Anything related
to the Heavenly Path isn’t going to be easy to deal with.”
“I understand. Thanks, Ms. Sophie.”
James slowly stood up.
