Chapter 5333
Janus said, "It seems Forty-nine isn’t as weak as we thought. It'll be hard to defeat him if
we don’t join forces. If we insist on fighting him solo, even if one of us manages to win, all
of us will suffer heavy losses."
Gannon's brows furrowed. James had indeed shown great strength, and he was no longer
confident in winning a one-on -one battle. However, Yuvin had specifically ordered him not
to join forces with the other two competitors. Although he was clueless about the reason,
he did not dare to disobey an elder. Therefore, he decided not to join forces with the
Suuntelis and Zoltrumms even if his victory was not guaranteed while fighting solo.
"I've never fought alongside other races, and I've no intentions of doing so, even in this
arena. If you wish to fight with Thornber, go ahead. After both of you are defeated, I'll fight
him alone," Gannon replied calmly.
"You think I can't see through your plan? You want to wait until both of us exhaust him.

Then, you'll swoop in and deal the final blow.” Janus snickered.
"What's wrong? You've already concluded your defeat even before fighting him," Gannon
replied calmly.
Janus stopped talking and turned to the battle. Seeing that Thornber and James were still
at a stalemate, he could not stand it anymore and flashed behind James.
At that moment, James and Thornber's swords were in a bind. Both of them integrated all
their strength into their swords and tried to overpower the other.
They hovered in the sky in a stand-off.
Janus approached James without a sound and slashed at the Genesis Protective Barrier.
The Genesis Protective Barrier was incredibly potent, but Janus’ sword was also an
exceptional weapon. He had struck with full force and managed to crack James' protective
barrier. His powers seeped through the cracks and injured James.
James spat a mouthful of blood and roared, "Get lost!"

He quickly retracted his sword, turned around, and attacked Janus.
Janus quickly used his sword to defend himself. Their blades clashed, and the impact force
knocked James away.
Thornber gave James no chance to recollect himself and quickly followed up with an
attack.
James was caught off guard by the sudden ambush. In just a short moment, Janus and
Thornber had managed to injure him.
At that point, James knew he could not drag the battle any longer. It was not his final
battle in the arena yet. After getting rid of his current opponents, he wanted to fight one
more match before calling it a day.
James felt he could keep fighting until his opponent was at the Martial Celestial Rank's
early stage. However, winning too much was not necessarily a good thing for him. If he
were to end up with an overwhelming amount of treasures, he might not be able to leave
safely with them.
After James decided to resolve the battle quickly, he swiftly moved through the air and

slashed out his sword, unleashing a few Genesis Sword Energy that contained Genesis
Inscriptions.
To everyone’s surprise, the Genesis Sword Energies did not immediately attack.
"What kind of trick is he playing?" Thornber was startled. While he was trying to figure out
James' intention, a Sword World had already been laid out around him.
"Crap!" Janus' expression immediately changed. He tried to escape from the Sword
World’s range, but it was too late. The Sword World had already been completely set up,
and a terrifying pressure crushed down on him. He instantly fell from the sky and crashed
into the ground.
Both Thornber and Janus were trapped within the Sword World.
The Sword World was different from the ones James had used in the past. This time, he
transformed the various Genesis Powers into Sword Energies to construct the Sword
World. Although it was inferior to the Genesis Sword Art, it was still overwhelmingly strong.
The two prodigies at the Petit Celestial Rank's peak were trapped inside the Sword World
and struggled to bear the tremendous pressure within it.
Thornber’s Golden Shield began to crack, and it was getting close to its breaking point.
