Chapter 4649
The Chaos Sword materialized, emanating potent Sword Intent that surged outward. The
force was so formidable that it pushed back the hundreds of powerhouses before it. It
even caused a slight tremor among the Zastra House powerhouses, their expressions
tinged with avarice.
James nonchalantly remarked, "I've got quite a collection of treasures on me. This sword
can barely be considered a god weapon, and as for its quality, I can’t say for sure.
However, it should be stronger than your average Caelum Acme Rank god weapons and
could probably be considered a Chaos god weapon."
A fervent gleam ignited in Eamon's eyes from the Zastra House. Possessing this god
weapon would undoubtedly lead to a substantial boost in his strength. At that instant,
envy took root in his heart. He attempted to sense James’ cultivation rank. James
deliberately withheld his true cultivation rank. Eamon could only perceive that James
stood at the Permanence Acme Rank. After sensing James' cultivation rank, Eamon gained
confidence.

playing on his lips.
"I, I..." Eamon faltered, grappling for words. He recognized that he possessed nothing that
could rival James' Chaos Sword. After a brief pause, he inquired, "What do you want?"
James too took a moment to ponder. Once, he was lacking
Empyrean herbs, but since joining Tempris House, he had access to several herb gardens
teeming with Acme-grade herbs. Wael had never restricted him from harvesting them. As
for Secret Supernatural Arts, he had an abundance.
Saachi had bestowed upon him the Aeternus Mantra, Waleria had gifted him an
outstanding Secret Art from the Theos Sect, and he had mastered numerous top-tier
Supernatural Powers on his own.
"I don't seem to need anything at the moment," James mused, unable to identify any
immediate requirements. He proceeded to ask the other man directly, "What do you have
to offer?"
"I have this," Eamon's palm emitted a brilliant radiance, conjuring an ancient scroll in his
grasp.
James looked at the ancient scroll and asked, "What is this?"
Eamon elucidated, "I’m not entirely sure. The characters inscribed on it are enigmatic, far
surpassing my understanding. I discovered it while on an expedition within an ancient
ruin."
"Let me see," James reached out.
Eamon handed over the scroll, and James unfurled it. In the ancient scroll were some
mystical characters. James stared at it for a while. Despite his proficiency in inscriptions,
he could only understand a fraction of the text. He saw the name Emperor Raiah inscribed
on the scroll.
"Emperor Raiah... Could it be the same Emperor Raiah that Zeno mentioned?” James
murmured to himself. Then, he
rolled up the ancient scroll with an expressionless face and said, "Well, I can't understand
a thing either. Are you attempting to wager my god weapon for this seemingly
inconsequential item?"

you can't beat me, I’ll indulge you in a fight."
James stowed the ancient scroll away and grinned, "I'll hold onto this reward for my victory
for the time being."
Eamon's countenance darkened, his tone icy as he retorted, "Don't get ahead of yourself.
If you go back on your word and refuse to present the sword, I'll inform Sir Lothar and let
you face his judgement."
With a beckoning motion, he said, "Please proceed to the battle arena at Verde Academy."
Without another word, he turned and departed.
James seemed unperturbed, trailing behind Eamon. Observing the scene, other disciples
also tagged along to witness the impending showdown. The Leinde brothers stayed close
behind, watching James very carefully.
"James, are you sure you can do it?"
'Yeah, he’s a Zastra House disciple. He holds a significant position even within the Five
Houses of the Verde Academy."
"Don't get too complacent and don't get caught off guard."
James dismissed their concerns, saying, 'You're all so noisy. Just watch and enjoy the
spectacle."
