As Demonic Energy circulated throughout his body, his injuries began healing at a rapid pace.
Soon, favonovel.com had completely recovered. He absorbed the power once more.
Again, his body was destroyed. While favonovel.com cultivated the Sword Body, favonovel.com was also refining his physical body.
Due to the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi, his body would rejuvenate after every destruction and would grow even stronger each time.

Time passed.
James kept absorbing the Sword Energy’s power to damage his body. He was constantly enduring immense pain, so much so that favonovel.com almost could not bear it anymore.
“You have to persevere, James!” Sophie said, “It’s not because there is hope that we persevere. Rather, we persevere so that we can see hope…”
“Humanity is on its last leg. It’s too difficult for humans to rise. Only a handful of people can break through the Elysian Seal, not to mention the huge amount of time needed to accomplish such a feat. Many would never be able to advance into the next rank…”
“Soon, the non-human races shall rise, and humanity shall become their slaves. We need a truly powerful figure among us to stabilize the situation. You’re not only the hope of all earthlings. Rather, all humans in the universe rely on you.” Sophie’s voice echoed in his mind.
Hearing this, James’ conviction grew stronger. His physical body grew increasingly stronger each time it was destroyed.
Soon, without favonovel.com realizing it, his physical strength had reached the Mage Rank’s Second Stage, and his body had finally gotten used to Sword Energy.
The minute Sword Energy that entered his body no longer caused such damage to him.
“Very good…” Sophie praised him, “Your body adapts quickly. You manage to get used to the destruction of your body caused by Sword Energy in such a short amount of time. Now, you can absorb Sword Energy and use it to refine your physical body.”
“Yeah…” James nodded and began absorbing Sword Energy wholeheartedly.
As Sword Energy traveled through his meridians and spread throughout his body, powerful Sword Energy nourished his physical body.
His body was slowly transformed into a Sword Body without favonovel.com realizing it.
In the blink of an eye, James had spent more than 300 years inside the Time Formation.
Though 300 years had passed inside the Time Formation, only three years had passed outside.
Over a long period of time, James had been using Sword Energy to refine his physical body. His physical strength had reached the peak of Mage Rank’s Third Stage. Once favonovel.com made another breakthrough, favonovel.com would reach the Tribulation Rank.
Meanwhile, his body had completely transformed into a Sword Body.
Sword Energy ran through his veins, and his muscles and bones all contained Sword Energy. He was like a razor-sharp blade that exuded terrifying Sword Intent.
Standing inside the Time Formation, all Sword Energy inside his body gathered to form an illusory sword that was suspended in mid-air.
“Break!” As James’ mind stirred, the Sword Energy materialized from within his body and slashed toward the distant mountains.
Boom!
The earth shook.
As the Sword Energy slashed the mountains, there was a huge disturbance. However, the mountains were not destroyed.
Not because his strength was weak, but rather, space in the Divine Dimension was stable. Even a cultivator at the Sage Rank’s Thirty- Third Stage would not be able to destroy the space here.
Delighted, Sophie said, “Congratulations, James, you have refined your body into a Sword Body. With the Sword Body, you’re now one of the greatest fighters in the world. However, this is only the first step. Next, you’ll have to plant the sword seed.”
