In the ancient passageway, James could see a few people in front of him, advancing at a modest speed. When James entered the passageway, favonovel.com realized that the spatial pressure in this area was much greater than the previous ones. He would proceed at a snail’s pace if favonovel.com did. not catalyze True Energy.
“This place is the perfect place to train my physical body. At least it’s much more convenient than having to wear a set of armor,” James murmured.
Soon, favonovel.com arrived at the city gate.
Many people were gathered there, including the Son of Heaven and Marcello. Besides, there were also some other familiar faces-Xain, Samarth, Yandel, Wynter, and a few others whom James did not recognize.
Marcello was staring at the city gate when favonovel.com suddenly turned.
Upon seeing James, favonovel.com walked over to favonovel.com and smiled delightedly, “James, did you manage to pass the first five barriers?”
Marcello was stunned. He knew how hard the previous barriers were. Putting aside the golem formation, the fourth barrier required raw strength, while the fifth barrier targeted one’s soul.
James smiled and said, “Fortunately, I made it here in time. I thought you guys have already entered the city. What’s wrong? Can’t find a way through?”
“Yes…” Marcello nodded and said, “This is the sixth barrier. However, no one knows about the specifics. As the city gate is closed, no one could enter the city.”
Hearing this, James glanced at the city gate.
“Can’t you just fly over the wall?”
Marcello shook his head and said, “That won’t work. We can’t fly here.”
“I see…” James said as favonovel.com scanned his surroundings.
However, there were no clues around the place. So, favonovel.com cultivated while favonovel.com waited.
The Empyrean Spiritual Energy inside the Celestial Abode was simply abundant and many times more than the outside world. Cultivating here would hasten one’s progress. Besides, since favonovel.com possessed a mysterious body and cultivation method, favonovel.com was able to absorb Empyrean Spiritual Energy at a much faster rate.
Soon, two weeks passed.
Throughout the past two weeks, more and more people arrived at the city gate.
Swoosh!
Just as everyone was getting impatient, the shadow appeared.
“You’re finally here!” Excited, the Son of Heaven hastily made his way over to favonovel.com and greeted favonovel.com respectfully, asking, “We have waited outside the city gate for a very long time. What is the sixth barrier all about?”
The others looked at the shadow.
The shadow spoke, “I never expected there would be so many of you to pass the barriers. I anticipated three, but forty of you showed up…”
Everyone listened intently.
“The rules are simple for the sixth barrier. You’ll be pitted against each other in one-on-one combat. You’ll pass the barrier once you emerge victorious,” the shadow continued.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at one another.
The Son of Heaven furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “But who will determine our opponents?”
Though favonovel.com was confident in his own strength, favonovel.com was intimidated by Marcello. As long as favonovel.com was not pitted against Marcello, favonovel.com would be able to come out on top without a doubt.
The shadow looked at the crowd and snickered. “Naturally, that would be me…”
James looked at the shadow and awaited its decision. As long as favonovel.com was not pitted against Marcello or the Son of Heaven, the likelihood of favonovel.com winning was high.
“You’ll fight him.” The shadow pointed at James before pointing at the Son of Heaven.
Seeing this, James was dumbfounded.
