Chapter 6991 However, what Xanthakos received in response to his friendly greeting were four blasts of vicious energy aimed at him. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Huge clouds of smoke engulfed Xanthakos as multiple explosions erupted around him. For a moment, no one could see him. "How could you guys act so barbaric! Where are your manners?" Xanthakos ' voice rang with rage and indignation. James, Morgott, Thea, and Lesia split up and attacked from four sides.
There were sounds of explosions and weapons clashing as soon as the four of them disappeared behind the cloud of smoke where Xanthakos was.
All of that happened so quickly that even Yiulia, who was also a Path Emperor, could do nothing and just watch from the side. Above all the commotion, the mass of gray gases formed by Taichu was circulating rapidly.
Taichu's voice reverberated through the space. "Chosen One, don't fall for his trick! It'll be over for your side if the group of you are sent into the Gate of Mystery!" Just as Taichu warned James, a ball of Bohnwer Light appeared and shone brightly next to where the battle was happening.
A few seconds later, a gigantic door materialized and flew open. Inside it, various strange, powerful energies mixed and swirled within a vast space. It even seemed like over quadrillions of supersized black holes enough to destroy all worlds were contained there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the Bohnwer Light grew brighter, an immense suction force and strong winds were created in that space.
Both Yiulia and Taichu immediately activated their Natal Protection Formation to prevent being sucked away.
On the other hand, James and his comrades swiftly backed away from Xanthakos.
They tried to get as far away as possible. However, they were gradually slowed down and dragged backward due to the suction force.
"Damn it! As expected of the Gate of Mystery!" Morgott complained aloud, " Xanthakos sure hasn't wasted any tduring the past millions of entrapochs in enhancing the gate's powers!" While he was saying that, Morgott sent a swift, forceful blast toward the Gate of Mystery by using the Tyrant spear. However, nothing happened as Morgott's attack passed through the door and disappeared almost instantly.
"James, try using the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword! Otherwise, we'll all get sucked in!" Morgott shouted.
In a flash, James combined with the Jozo Sword and transformed into a beautiful sword shining with the Sohnwer Light. With the transformation, James managed to break free from the hold of the mysterious suction force. Whoosh! In the sword form, James shot toward Thea and cut through the suction force pulling her to the gate.
Instead of teleporting away, Thea extended her arms and performed the Three Treasures Integration. A gigantic lotus appeared beneath her. The lotus emanated the Sohnwer Light. Despite the surrounding Bohnwer Lights, the Sohnwer Light expanded and spun quickly, keeping the powerful suction force outside.
Meanwhile, James had also freed Lesia and Morgott by severing the suction force latched onto them. Then, he swiftly pushed the two of them toward the center of Thea's lotus.
After that, James, still in his sword form, shot toward Xanthakos who was found near the Gate of Mystery.
"Transforming into a sword is Zemra's signature skill. It seems you have decided to abandon the Path and practice the Demonic Path instead, despite you being a Chosen One." Xanthakos snorted.
He maintained a seated position in front of the Gate of Mystery.

In the next few seconds, James destroyed the thousands of gigantic hands coming at him as he continued moving forward. Soon enough, Xanthakos was within his range of sight.
"The Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword and the Jozo Sword. You were truly blessed with great fortunes," Xanthakos continued monotonously," Perhaps, this was the Path's will." When he finished, Xanthakos could sense tremors in the shield formed from divine light protecting his body.
Simultaneously, James' sword form had reached the shield and stabbed into it, breaking the structure almost instantaneously. There was a sharp, unpleasant noise following that. The sword had pierced Xanthakos' Ultimate Golden Body, making a hole in his chest.
James' sword form made a u-turn in the air and was ready to make a second puncture in Xanthakos' body. However, he cto an abrupt halt.
James finally got a good look at Xanthakos' face. It was a familiar face he had not seen in a long time. "Emperor Jabari?!"
