Female Novel
Chapter 2028
In the ancient passageway, James could see a few people in front of him, advancing at a modestspeed. When James entered the passageway, he realized that the spatial pressure in this area wasmuch greater than the previous ones. He would proceed at a snail’s pace if he did not catalyze TrueEnergy.
“This place is the perfect place to train my physical body. At least it’s much more convenient thanhaving to wear a set of armor,” James murmured.
Soon, he arrived at the city gate.
Many people were gathered there, including the Son of Heaven and Marcello. Besides, there werealso some other familiar faces─Xain, Samarth, Yandel, Wynter, and a few others whom James didnot recognize.
Marcello was staring at the city gate when he suddenly turned. Upon seeing James, he walked overto him and smiled delightedly, “James, did you manage to pass the first five barriers?”
Marcello was stunned.
He knew how hard the previous barriers were. Putting aside the golem formation, the fourth barrierrequired raw strength, while the fifth barrier targeted one’s soul.
James smiled and said, “Fortunately, I made it here in time. I thought you guys have alreadyentered the city. What’s wrong? Can’t find a way through?”
“Yes.”
Marcello nodded and said, “This is the sixth barrier. However, no one knows about the specifics. Asthe city gate is closed, no one could enter the city.”
Hearing this, James glanced at the city gate.
“Can’t you just fly over the wall?”
Marcello shook his head and said, “That won’t work. We can’t fly here.”
“I see…”
James said as he scanned his surroundings. However, there were no clues around the place.
So, he cultivated while he waited. The Empyrean Spiritual Energy inside the Celestial Abode wassimply abundant and many times more than the outside world. Cultivating here would hasten one’sprogress. Besides, since he possessed a mysterious body and cultivation method, he was able toabsorb Empyrean Spiritual Energy at a much faster rate.
Soon, two weeks passed.
Throughout the past two weeks, more and more people arrived at the city gate.

Just as everyone was getting impatient, the shadow appeared.
“You’re finally here!” Excited, the Son of Heaven hastily made his way over to him and greeted himrespectfully, asking, “We have waited outside the city gate for a very long time. What is the sixthbarrier all about?”
The others looked at the shadow.
The shadow spoke, “I never expected there would be so many of you to pass the barriers. Ianticipated three, but forty of you showed up.”
Everyone listened intently.
“The rules are simple for the sixth barrier. You’ll be pitted against each other in one-on-one combat.You’ll pass the barrier once you emerge victorious,” the shadow continued.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at one another.
The Son of Heaven furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “But who will determine our opponents?”
Though he was confident in his own strength, he was intimidated by Marcello. As long as he wasnot pitted against Marcello, he would be able to come out on top without a doubt.
The shadow looked at the crowd and snickered. “Naturally, that would be me.”
James looked at the shadow and awaited its decision. As long as he was not pitted against Marcelloor the Son of Heaven, the likelihood of him winning was high.
“You’ll fight him.”
The shadow pointed at James before pointing at the Son of Heaven.
“…”
James was dumbfounded.
