Chapter 4774
Saachi and the others, who were watching James from the airship, had the same concerns
too.
Back when James had fought Wynona in that epic battle at the Verde Academy, he had
suffered severe injuries after receiving a series of Wynona's powerful attacks. However, it
only took the first round of those lightning bolts to shake James up pretty badly.
All of them were afraid that James might not be able to make it through the Heavenly
Tribulation of this level.
James grimaced in pain. He was aware of how serious his condition was. The man quickly
activated the Life Path to heal his injuries since he knew that he had no time to waste
before the second wave of attack came.
The open wounds scattered on James' skin and his internal injuries were slowly healing
with James' powers.
Unfortunately, injuries caused by the Heavenly Tribulation were awfully difficult to heal.
Although James seemed quite fine on the outside, he was actually suffering from critical
internal injuries. Furthermore, the residual powers of the Heavenly Tribulation were still
circulating in James' body.

As James levitated in mid-air in a seated position, he focused his concentration on
converting and absorbing the powers of the Heavenly Tribulation in his body.
Just then, crackling sounds could be heard again as the tribulation clouds produced
countless lightning bolts.
Before those lightning bolts had reached him, James immediately activated the Thousand
Paths Holy Body. The powers of the Greater Paths radiated from his body, forming a firm
layer of protective barrier in an instant.
Despite having the protection of the Greater Paths’ powers, the lightning bolts were so
destructive that they penetrated and destroyed the barrier almost instantly. James was
struck by the second hit once more.
Fortunately, the powers of the Thousand Paths Holy Body and the Greater Paths were
enough to wear off some energies of the lightning bolts. James noticed he suffered less
damage to his body this time.
'I can use this way to lessen the effects of the lightning bolts and protect my body,’ James
thought.
As James seemed to have found the solution to withstand the lightning bolts and stabilize
his condition, Waleria and the others finally felt slightly relieved.

Meanwhile, James continued to absorb the energies of those powerful lightning bolts that
were coursing through his veins. At the same time, he was studying the mysterious
pattern produced by the tribulation clouds. He could sense a terrifyingly immense power
from that intricate pattern.
"What's the meaning of this? Why am I seeing this pattern in the tribulation clouds? I can
find motifs of the Greater Paths and the Primal Mantra in it,'' James muttered under his
breath.
'There are too many inscriptions contained here, overlapping each other within this
pattern.' James pondered.
As he stared at the pattern, James started memorizing a few of its inscriptions. Then, he
tried to develop those inscriptions in his head. It only took him a few seconds to form a
new pattern that gave off the highest form of energies of the Primal Mantra and Greater
Paths.
After that, James tried to search for the corresponding pattern that he had produced
himself from the unique pattern formed by the tribulation clouds. Once he had found the
pattern, he extracted that specific pattern from the clouds and tried to emulate the same
overall pattern of the tribulation clouds by doing further combinations and arrangements

on his own.
Eventually, James was able to obtain a new, interesting pattern. He could sense a
tremendous power that was way more potent than his Caelum Acme Rank powers
contained within the pattern.
However, the pattern produced by James was rigid and fixed. It was merely one of the
many variations of the pattern from the tribulation clouds. The pattern from the tribulation
clouds, on the other hand, was always evolving and displaying the possibilities of
countless forms.
James could find inscriptions of ancient origins and paths of the purest form from the
pattern. Moreover, he could observe a superior power in the pattern that transcended
above everything else.
The lightning bolts continued to rain on James in waves. When those attacks destroyed his
protection barrier, James would put up a new barrier again in anticipation of the next
round of attack. This cycle repeated for ten years.
At long last, the lightning bolts stopped.
"It’s finally over!" Waleria let out a soft sigh as she could no longer hear any sounds of
thunder. "I was afraid that James might seriously die because of those lightning attacks!"
