James accepted the elixir. As favonovel.com consumed the elixir, a warm current circulated throughout his body, rejuvenating his gravely injured body and restoring his True Essence and Demonic Energy that had been depleted.
Lucifer, too, consumed an elixir and healed his injuries.
About thirty minutes later, the two stood up at the same time.
Lucifer looked at James and praised him. “I underestimated you, James. Your strength far exceeded my expectations. If I had known the outcome of this battle, I wouldn’t have given you a month to achieve so many breakthroughs… However, the ultimate providence on Earth has yet to appear. So, I’ll be in closed-door meditation for the time being. I hope you won’t disappoint me by then.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com turned to leave, while a horde of beasts followed close behind.
James breathed a sigh of relief.
This was a hard-won battle. He had performed almost every technique and cultivation method, except for one. If Lucifer refused to concede defeat, favonovel.com would resort to his trump card-the Demonic Energy inside his body.
This Demonic Energy was not his own. Instead, it was absorbed from Farley’s body in the Ancient Realm. He had sealed it away in his body.
Once favonovel.com released the seal, favonovel.com could annihilate even immortal beings with the Demonic Energy. However, as favonovel.com could not control the Demonic Energy as favonovel.com pleased, favonovel.com did not dare act recklessly. Otherwise, the battle would have ended long ago.
“James, you improve too fast.” Marcello praised him. “When I first met you a few years ago, you were weak and insignificant. However, in just a few years, your strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Currently, not even the top cultivators of the Three-Thousand Worlds can stand a chance against you.”
James smiled faintly and said, “You flatter me…”
“I’ll be taking my leave now. Take care.”
After speaking, Marcello turned to leave.
Jace glanced at James and said, “Not bad…”
Then, favonovel.com turned to leave as well.
Following that, two people approached James. They were Harold and Quintina. They had conflicting emotions.
Not long ago, James was in the same rank as them. However, his strength had greatly surpassed theirs despite favonovel.com having the Elysian Seal in his body.
“You’re too strong, James. I don’t think I can ever surpass you in this lifetime…” Harold smiled bitterly.
Quintina looked at James. At that moment, favonovel.com gaze, which was filled with tenderness and love, was somewhat different.
As James’ strength grew stronger by the day, favonovel.com understanding of James kept changing.
James laughed and said, “It was only with a stroke of luck that I managed to defeat Lucifer. That certainly was a dangerous fight. I almost lost my life.”
“Since there are countless providences on Earth, I’ll have to work hard from now on. Even with the Elysian Seal, I have to rise no matter the odds.” Harold clenched his fists.
He had gained motivation from watching the battle and decided that favonovel.com had to work hard now.
A group of people surrounded James. They were all familiar faces.
Henry said, “You’re impressive, James!”
The Blithe King praised him. “I’m in awe!”
Thomas said, “As expected of a Caden! You’ve made us proud!”
Meanwhile, Quincy looked James in the eye with a complex expression on favonovel.com face and said, “You’ve really grown stronger over time. I’m no longer worthy of you. Perhaps only Thea among us humans can keep up with your pace.”
Delainey asked, “What do you plan to do next, James?”
The smile on James’ face froze.
Then, his expression darkened. “Well, I’ll have to collect some old debts, of course.”
