Chapter 5498
They were at a crucial point in the treatment.
Jada had completed her part in their mission to heal Qairo. It was up to James now to see
to the end of the treatment. If James failed to hang on, all their efforts and preparation
would be for naught.
The Heavenly Tribulation had caused those dark clouds to gather above Qairo and James.
Qairo was being struck by countless lightning bolts even at that moment.
James noticed an immense power was generated from Qairo's body to protect itself from
the lightning. It was the most potent power James had ever witnessed thus far.
Even Gustav’s powers that James had observed in the Prison World were rather inferior
compared to what he was seeing from Qairo.
Still, the lightning attacks from the Heavenly Tribulation were leaving severe wounds and
injuries all over Qairo's body.
Fortunately, the Ulus levitating above Qairo's head was constantly generating a flow of life
force to heal his body.
On the other hand, James had incurred dangerous amounts of Karma Power as he was

trying to heal Qairo. Long, hideous cracks were forming at different parts of his skin.
Eventually, the Heavenly Tribulation started attacking James as well.
Since James was somewhat helping in the process of Qairo going through his Heavenly
Tribulation, he would also become a target.
Luckily, the potency of the Heavenly Tribulation's attacks was adjusted to match James’
cultivation rank, which was at the middle stage of the Great Celestial Rank.
The lightning attacks also did not cause much injury to James' body. Instead, James was
facing actual threats from the effects of the Karma Power, which James had grown very
familiar with at this point.
James quickly initiated the Life Path to heal his injuries, but he soon realized that was not
enough. He had no choice but to borrow the powers of the Ulus to treat his wounds.
Otherwise, he would not be able to last until the end of the treatment.
James continued to channel the powers of the Elemental Curse into Qairo's body to heal
his soul.
A brief moment later, Qairo's eyes flew open. A bright, distinctive light flashed across his
eyes.

Then, Qairo swiftly suppressed his cultivation rank and reduced the amount of power he
was releasing.
In a matter of seconds, the black tribulation clouds began to disperse and disappear from
sight.
As he was finally allowed a break, James fell onto the ground and slipped into
unconsciousness.
At the same time, the Ulus had returned to James' body.
However, the powers of karma remained, and they were still affecting James.
Qairo teleported next to James’ side.
After he had achieved full recovery and regained his powers, it triggered the onset of a
Heavenly Tribulation. Qairo only managed to stop the tribulation from continuing by
suppressing his powers and cultivation.
Qairo furrowed his brows as he observed the Karma Power surrounding James’ body. He
stretched his hand in an attempt to nullify the Karma Power.
Yet, Qairo was instantly forced back by the vicious powers of karma. He even coughed up
some blood.

The others had come closer to the pair.
"James...”
Jada went up to James to check his condition. However, she was forced backward just like
Qairo did due to the Karma Power.
She incurred some of the Karma Power as she had gotten too close to James. Jada quickly
sat down and focused on generating her powers to nullify the Karma Power.
After watching what happened to those two, Qiyana and the others dared not move closer
to James.
Qiyana asked anxiously, "Qairo, will James be alright?”
Qairo had a grim expression on his face. "He’s incurred a terrible amount of Karma Power
while helping me. Anyone
who tries to approach him now will be affected by the Karma Power too. Even I can’t get
close to him. He has to make it through this on his own."
Qairo retained his memories even after his soul was fully healed. Therefore, he
remembered what Qiyana and James had been doing all this time.
Qairo was aware of how James had worked relentlessly on gathering all the Elemental
Primevals' primitive inscriptions and mastering the Elemental Curse to save him.
A deep frown drew his brows together. "A normal cultivator would have been completely
annihilated by this level of Karma Power. Yet, he is still miraculously alive."
