Chapter 5018
Cray had thought about it, and he decided that Zavis was the perfect candidate for the
task.
With Zavis’ extraordinary powers and skills, he could easily gain the attention of other
cultivators. By using that edge, they could get the news about the Orstellen Art out in the
ten districts as soon as possible.
"Who has the Koloretsua Stone now?" Zavis asked.
Upon hearing the question, the villagers turned their eyes to James, who was standing at
the back of the crowd, simultaneously.
James straightened himself and bowed slightly. He smiled brightly at Zavis. "It's an honor
to meet you, Mr. Zavis. I am James Caden."
Zavis focused his gaze on James. After confirming that James had reached the Quasi
Chaos Rank, the man frowned. "He managed to gain possession of the Koloretsua Stone
with that level of cultivation rank?!"
Cray responded, 'You mustn't take him too lightly, Zavis. He's achieved many great things
in his past life. The man managed to last in a battle against the second extraterrestrial
demon commander at the Chaos Illimita Rank. He even received Xeraiah's legacy and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmastered the knowledge of the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra."
In the blink of an eye, Zavis teleported and reappeared right before James. He was so fast
that it gave James quite a shock. The young man unconsciously took a few steps
backward.
'You're the successor of Xeraiah's knowledge and legacy?" Zavis fixed James with a
piercing gaze.
James stuttered a little, "M... Mr. Zavis, I didn't receive any formal or direct teaching from
Xeraiah Fiadh himself.
However, I have learned the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Art created by him."
"Very well..."
Zavis’ face broke into a smile. "After I lost the battle to Xeraiah, he entered the sanctuary
and created the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra. I haven't had the chance to see him
before he was gone. Now, I'll get to see for myself if the signature skill created by him is
all that great!"
Upon hearing those words, James scrunched up his face." Isn’t this a bit too unfair for me,
Mr. Zavis? I've only advanced to the Quasi Chaos Rank. I am still a long way from
regaining all of my powers. How could I possibly try to battle you?"
"I'll adjust my cultivation base and fight with powers of the Quasi Chaos Rank too," Zavis
suggested.
James fell silent as an idea came to him. He asked, "What if you lose, then?"
'That’s impossible." Zavis had no doubt about his skills and capabilities. 'There's no way
I'm going to lose. Xeraiah was the only person who could defeat me even though we were
both in the same cultivation rank. Also, we're just going to spar. This isn’t a battle to
decide one's life and death."
"I'm just saying what if that happens." James explained, " You can't expect me to agree to
a battle challenge so easily. I'll need some form of reward as motivation, don't you think?"
"I'll become your loyal subordinate if I lose the sparring." Zavis did not even hesitate as he
made the promise. He felt extremely confident that no one would be able to beat him.
There was a small commotion among the crowd as the villagers heard Zavis’ words.
Cray raised his hand and interrupted Zavis, 'You’re being too hasty, Zavis. Even though
James lost the battle to the second commander of the extraterrestrial demons, he had
nonetheless managed to destroy one of the commander’s clones."
Unlike Zavis, Cray had the feeling that James might be able to defeat Zavis if the two of
them were in the same cultivation rank.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZavis gave a snort. Then, he said, "Let's move this to the arena."
Cray sighed with resignation. "Fine."
The elderly man lifted a palm and began conjuring multiple inscriptions. As more and more
inscriptions circled around them, James and the others could see how their surroundings
were gradually changing.
All of them seemed to have arrived beside a huge arena, which was completely
surrounded by green, majestic spiritual mountains.
Zavis teleported and reemerged in the battle arena, followed by James.
The young man had a calm, determined look in his eyes. James had the absolute
conviction that he was unbeatable amongst those who had the same cultivation rank as
him. He was certain that he could take down even Emperor Raiah if the latter were in the
Quasi Chaos Rank too.
Meanwhile, the villagers were excited as they waited for the battle between those two
men to begin.
"Who'd you say would win?"
"It'll be King Marciais, of course!"
"Forty-nine claims to be the reincarnation of James Caden. Still, the stories of the battle
between him and Mekaisto Xelqart were words of mouth gathered by Jai. Those stories
could have been exaggerated."
