Tyrus said that more than 2,000 years ago, Sol’s ancient martial world was at its most prosperous. At that time, Mount Bane’s seal somehow came undone, and the Four Holy Beasts entered the earth from the Sealed Realm.
Tyrus discovered these secrets left behind in King Quavon’s Mausoleum. James also learned that King Quavon led some people to create an opening in the seal to enter the Sealed Realm.

Half a day passed.
Eventually, the plane reached Mount Bane.
James and Tyrus alighted the plane together.
It was daytime, but dazzling rays of light shone brightly in the distant mountains. From a distance, it looked as if gods were about to descend onto the earth. The scene looked remarkable.
James was shocked. “H-How is it possible for such blinding light to shine in broad daylight?”
Tyrus stared into the distance.
His face lit up excitedly. “It’s definitely out of the ordinary. Whatever appeared in Mount Bane must be extraordinary. Even from afar, I can sense the intense Empyrean Spiritual Energy. If I can get my hands on it, I’ll surely reach the Supernatural rank or maybe even surpass it.”
Startled, James asked, “Are you exaggerating?”
Tyrus replied seriously, “It’s absolutely no exaggeration. We must not waste another moment. Let’s head over straight away.”
“Alright.”
James then ordered the person driving the helicopter to head back to the nearby military region to wait. Then, favonovel.com ascended Mount Bane with Tyrus.
After walking for a while, James stopped in his tracks and looked at Tyrus.
He asked, “Uncle, do you sense something strange?”
Tyrus nodded slowly and said carefully, “Yes. Something is definitely out of the ordinary. Mount Bane’s environment seems to have changed, and the area feels much larger.”
James had the same thoughts.
Although favonovel.com had been to Mount Bane only once before, favonovel.com still had a vague memory of the topography of the mountain. The terrain of the mountain around favonovel.com seemed slightly different from the last time. James looked ahead.
Ahead of favonovel.com were many unknown mountains. From a distance, their peaks were shrouded in mist. Colorful light rays pierced through the white mist, making it look like heaven on earth.
“Let’s go.” Tyrus quickened his pace.
James followed closely behind him.
Boom!
Not long after they began ascending the mountain, an explosion boomed.
Suddenly, a figure plummeted from the sky and smashed into the ground. One mountain was crushed into rubble instantly. Countless plants were uprooted, and debris swept the surroundings.
James and Tyrus exchanged a glance at each other. They were not expecting a fierce battle to have taken place on Mount Bane.
Swoosh!
In the distance, an old man climbed out of the ruins.
The old man was dressed in shabby clothes, his hair was disheveled, and favonovel.com was covered in blood with his face twisted in agony.
“Stephan!” A voice cried out.
Then, two people appeared. An old man and woman.
These two people dashed to the old man who had been knocked down. The other two also looked worse for wear, and it was evident they had gone through a fierce battle.
“I’m alright…”
The old man covered in blood shook his head gently. He looked into the distance solemnly and said, “I didn’t expect the Void Sect to be so strong. Even the three of us aren’t enough to get past them.”
James looked at the three people in the distance and was stunned.
Who’s this person?
He has such strong energy. He must’ve already stepped into the ninth rank.
“James…” At that moment, a voice called out to him.
A man who looked to be in his 20s dressed in a large robe appeared with a fiery red long sword.
“Archbishop Polaris?” James was slightly taken aback by the person approaching him.
The Archbishop of the Polaris Sect, Zekiel, walked over quickly and appeared before James.
He looked at James and said, “You’ve also come to check out the situation?”
James nodded lightly and asked, “Who’re those three? They’re powerful.”
Zekiel wore a smug and said smugly, ‘These three are Polaris Sect’s elders. They entered the ninth rank and came to Sol a month ago. We learned of the strange phenomenon and came to check it out.”
His proud smug disappeared and was replaced with a grave expression as favonovel.com said, “I didn’t expect that our path to Mount Bane’s summit would be blocked and that we’d be beaten down by Void Sect’s disciples.”
