Chapter 2019
The Demon Emperor was the supreme being in the Demon Realm. His inheritance would be much more impressive
than this Celestial Abode. However, such it fell into the hands of a human. Marcello could not help but feel envy.
James, meanwhile, remained silent. He revealed nothing about the custodian, the Chamber of Scriptures, and also
his body.
“Unwilling to share information with me?”
Marcello looked at James.
James said, “No, you misunderstand. It’s just that the situation’s complicated, and I’m not in the position to reveal
too much.”
Since James was unwilling, Marcello did not ask further.

mysterious energy was oozing from within. James, however, was no longer surprised upon seeing this. Everything
inside the Celestial Abode was worth a fortune, even its soil and pebbles.
Since the two walked slowly, someone managed to catch up.
It was the Son of Heaven who believed he was the first one out of the Magic Circle. However, by the time he made
his way here, he realized that James and Marcello were already there in front of him. Seeing this, his face
darkened, and he had a murderous expression.
He was tempted to annihilate them upon seeing that they left the Magic Circle before him. However, after some
thought, he decided against it. He was not in a hurry to do so. After all, it would not be too late to make a move only
after the two managed to pass the next few barriers.
James and Marcello also noticed the Son of Heaven who had caught up.
Marcello smiled faintly and said, “Not bad… To think that he managed to find a way out of the Magic Circle in such a
short amount of time…”
James whispered, “He might have crossed into the Herculean rank. Be careful not to fall for his traps.”
When he heard this, Marcello smirked. “There’s nothing to worry about a Herculean. To be frank with you, though a
Herculean is invincible on Earth, he’s nothing more than an insignificant creature in the context of the wider world.
A true powerful individual would be able to annihilate him with a single finger.”
After experiencing many ordeals, James understood that cultivation knew no bounds. To him, a Herculean was an
unbeatable being. However, that was because he was ignorant. He had never seen a truly powerful figure.
“But don’t you worry,” Marcello consoled him. “With your current physical body and the Demonic Lotus you
possess, you’ll gain the right to emerge as equals to these supreme beings sooner or later. After all, you’re no
ordinary man.”

Marcello was envious of James.
“Sigh… How I envy you. I’d love to acquire the Demonic Lotus too. It’s far greater than this
Celestial Abode.”
James scratched his nose.
He knew how strong his body was. In fact, he was close to being invincible.
As they conversed, the Son of Heaven caught up. Glancing at them, he simply hastened his footsteps and overtook
them.
James hurriedly said, “We should get moving. We can’t allow him to get there before us.”
Marcello stopped him and said while smiling, “Why the hurry? We’re only at the second barrier. Believe me, as the
difficulty increases with each passing barrier, he won’t be able to advance that easily.”
Marcello was unconcerned at all.
Seeing this, James could only slow down his pace.
“By the way…”
