He never expected a young woman like Delainey to have such a profound understanding of martial arts.“Learning isn’t the most important aspect. Although learning the martial art techniques created by ancestors is a painstaking effort, you’ll have to create your own signature technique to become the best of this generation’s martial artists. You’ll have to create the technique that best represents you.”James was impressed by Delainey’s analytical skills.She was incredibly wise and had a broad understanding of martial arts.After a moment of brief astonishment, he replied bitterly, “Creating one is easier said than done.”Delainey smiled and said, “Of course, it’s not going to be easy. Since ancient times, those who created their own martial techniques were recognized as the vaunted warriors of their generations. Those who couldn’t create their own devoted themselves to a single technique and strived to achieve the highest realm of the technique.”“To create one of your own, you’
Jade Sect was a neutral organization in the ancient martial world.Since ancient times, the sect had never paid attention to worldly affairs. Despite this, the sect's disciples were scattered all over the world.A typical, unassuming farmer could turn out to be a disciple of the Jade Sect.A peerless martial artist could also be a member of that very same sect.In Sol, there was a continuous mountain range.There were about 81 mountains and each of them reached high in the sky.On a mountain peak at the center of the mountain range, a young man sat in a lotus position on a rock near the cliff’s edge.He looked to be in his early 20s. The handsome man was dressed in a blue robe which gave him an elegant impression. Despite his youthful appearance, his hair was mostly white.At that moment, he held a small piece of straw in his mouth.A white pigeon flew over and appeared in front of the man. It flapped its wings and fluttered in the air.The man reached out, and the pigeon lan
Since it was James’ matter, if she intervened right now, he would surely berate her if he found out afterward.For now, she could only wait in the shadows and take action when James was in danger.It would not be necessary for her to step in if James could defeat his opponent.Even so, she knew in her heart that she had nothing to worry about.James was an eighth-ranked grandmaster and utilized Heavenly Breath. Plus, he possessed the mighty Invincible Body Siddhi, and very few people were a match for him.Thea’s true strength was still far below that of James’ and she would have to rely on the power of the Spirit Turtle’s blood in order to draw out more power for herself.In the event that James gets defeated, it was unlikely that Thea would be able to defeat his opponent even if she borrowed the power of the Spirit Turtle.That only leaves the option of fighting the battle together with James to defeat the enemy together.Meanwhile, James sat in a lotus position on top of Mt.
Tapio Cabral, the son of Mount Thunder Sect’s leader.Delainey’s eldest brother.She stared at the sickly and nonchalant man seated on the sedan chair.That man was her eldest brother—Tapio.He was a true martial art genius.He could quickly master any martial art after learning it with just a few pointers from others.At a young age, his name was already renowned in the ancient martial world.She remembered when she was still a little girl around the age of ten, Tapio returned to the sect after having left for a year. After coming home, he headed to Mount Thunder Sect’s library to look for something.Unfortunately, he failed to find it.Eventually, he sought out his father, Jackson, who was also the head of Mount Thunder Sect.In the end, the two got into a heated argument and even drew their swords at each other.Tapio left Mount Thunder Sect in a rage.Ten years have passed since that day.She never knew what exactly happened. Years later, her father finally explained i
Everything happened because the Mount Thunder Sect had the Spiritual Art manual.“What’s going on?” James tried to get a handle on the situation.Unfortunately, it seemed that Delainey had completely tuned him out. At that moment, she was entirely focused on Tapio.“Delainey, we answer to different masters now. There’s no turning back anymore. You shouldn't stay here. Go, get off this mountain if you know what’s good for you,” Tapio gently warned her.“What do you mean different masters? Who’s your master, Tapio?! You’re a disciple of Mount Thunder Sect, you…” In response to his warning, Delainey fumed at his indifferent attitude.“You impertinent child!” Delainey’s words seemed to have struck a nerve with Tapio and he roared furiously at her.With a flash, he appeared in front of Delainey. He grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground.Delainey never had a chance to respond to his blinding speed.This move took even James by surprise.Judging by his opponent’s spee
It was clear that Tapio thought highly of himself and his skills.In response to James’ questions, he demanded that James defeat him in battle first.“Alright.”James knew it was useless to try and get anything more out of him at the moment.He gripped the hilt of his sword even tighter.The Blade of Justice’s true form had recently been unsealed.In the past, the Blade of Justice was just a relatively sharp weapon that did not possess any particularly distinguishing qualities.Now, it was in its true form.While holding onto the Blade of Justice, James could clearly sense a palpable power coming from it.The sword’s innate strength would surely increase the power of his Sword Energies.He held the long sword horizontally, and invisible energy rippled in the air.“Where’s your weapon?” James asked calmly.“I don’t need a weapon to defeat you.”“Haha…” James laughed incredulously.He killed an eighth-ranked grandmaster while he was still in the seventh rank.Mr. Yaakov wa
Seeing the onslaught of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords, Thea could barely contain the smile on her face beneath her mask. She murmured, “I never expected the Thirteen Heavenly Swords to be this incredible. This battle has only begun and yet his opponent has already made him resort to using the Thirteen Heavenly Swords.”Thea found it hard to predict the outcome of the duel as James’ opponent was also extremely proficient.Tapio was forced into a corner.He continuously dodged the attacks at his fastest speed.However, the Sword Energies hounded him as he fled as if they were homing missiles.“Damn it.”His pale face was anxious.Swoosh!He swiftly stop and spun on his heel. Quickly, he drew the rapier hung on his waist.With a flick of the rapier, several Sword Energies materialized in the air.Clang! Clank! Clang!The Sword Energies collided in mid-air.Tapio’s Sword Energies were shattered instantly by the Thirteen Heavenly Swords.Despite that, Tapio seized the chance and
Tapio looked at his rapier in disbelief.He knew James was already an eighth-ranked grandmaster that had mastered the Thirteen Heavenly Swords and that he also possessed a strange martial art technique.Turning his eyes up, he stared at James.He noticed the golden light shimmering on the surface of James’ body.The light was something that had not existed before this.In the past, James had only turned into a bronze man.Now, it looked as if there were some sort of webbing made out of golden light that enveloped his body.He took a deep breath and tried to keep his cool. Then, he asked, “What kind of martial art technique are you using?”“That’s none of your business.”James glared at him coldly.He had to defeat his unknown enemy.Raising the Blade of Justice, he shouted, “Let’s continue.”“Do you think I’m afraid of you?”Although Tapio had been taken by surprise by James’ martial art technique, he was not intimidated by him.He was someone who had mastered the world’s
The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res
“No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has
At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn
That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo
Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z
"Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,
Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr
James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
