“I guess I have no other choice.” Lucjan nodded slightly. At that moment, a Gu Sect disciple walked in and knelt. “Sir, the First Blood Emperor has arrived.” “Hahaha!” Upon hearing this, Lucjan laughed. At long last, the Blood Emperor was here. Lucjan had gone to great lengths to research Gu venom. Though the results of the research were satisfactory, he still lacked a little something. So, he went looking for the First Blood Emperor, a member of the Blood Race whose blood was different from an ordinary human's. “Let’s go!” Lucjan turned to leave. In a room in the underground palace… The First Blood Emperor was waiting alongside many Blood Race martial artists. He was wearing a black caped jacket and a hat that covered his face. However, his appearance could still be discerned. His face was pale and void of life, just like a zombie. He was sitting on the sofa in a room of the underground palace. Many who wore similar attires were standing behind him. “Blood Em
Thomas told them some secrets he long knew. Before slaying the Spirit Turtle, he had heard of the existence of dragons. However, he did not know if the dragon was still alive. There was one person who could corroborate his claims─the First Blood Emperor of the Blood Race. Looking at the First Blood Emperor, he asked, “Am I right, Blood Emperor?” The First Blood Emperor nodded gently. “Yes, you’re right. However, this is one of the Blood Race’s top secrets. Only the Patriarch knows about this. How did you manage to get your hands on this information?” The First Blood Emperor looked at Thomas, who was disguised as Ezekiel, puzzled. How did Thomas learn of this top-secret information about the Blood Race? Thomas smiled and said, “Naturally, I have my ways. Besides, I also know some secrets about dragons.” Upon hearing this, Lucjan was intrigued. “What kind of secret?” “Immortality,” Thomas uttered a single word. “Really?’ Lucjan could not believe his ears. “It should be
It would be more accurate to say that he only managed a few feeble cries instead of saying that he tried their best.After a few minutes, Tobias casually threw the martial artist to the ground.The martial artist was still alive, but he was aging rapidly. In a matter of minutes, his hair had turned white.He seemed to be in his fifties, but now he looked like he was in his seventies or eighties.Many people were in a state of shock as they witnessed this scene.Tobias, on the other hand, had a sinister grin on his face.His power was growing quickly. The sensation of his increasing strength was quite thrilling and amazing.Tobias noticed James, who was lying lifeless on the ground in the adjacent cell.“James…”His expression darkened.He soon walked out of the cell and approached James.“Tobias, what are you trying to do?” Bennett, who was sitting on the ground, said sternly."I'll deal with you after I absorb James' power," Tobias said indifferently, casting a glance at B
Tobias struck them one by one, absorbing all the powers of the martial artists in the dungeon.However, after taking in a little over ten of them, his True Energy was saturated.His entire body felt bloated to him.A gust of powerful True Energy was thrashing about within his body. It felt like it was going to explode.“No. This is an exceptional chance. I can’t pass this up.”Tobias did not want to let go of this fantastic opportunity. He began to suppress the True Energy he had absorbed.While Tobias was obsessively taking in True Energy, Thea arrived. She had been trailing behind him.Thea did not, however, make a hasty appearance. She was aware that there were numerous traps and surveillance cameras inside.It took her a long time just to pass through the Thousand-Machinery Formation quietly.After entering the underground palace, she began her search slowly and deliberately, eventually finding the dungeon.A number of Gu Sect disciples were stationed at the dungeon's ent
This burst of energy affected the dungeon.Some of the iron gates in the dungeon were blown to pieces in an instant.Thea suddenly stood up. She was wearing a mask. Her face was hidden, but a set of blood-red eyes were visible.Tobias sensed a frightening aura.He immediately gave up on absorbing the martial artists' True Energy, threw the one he was holding aside, and turned around to flee.Thea chased after him with the Malevolent Sword in her hand.Lucjan ran over when he heard the alarm go off. He had not even reached the dungeon's entrance when someone dashed toward him.“Tobias, don’t move!” Lucjan shouted loudly and launched himself into the air, striking with his palm.Tobias struck Lucjan's palm with his as he rushed forward.Boom!Two massive bursts of power slammed into one another.Lucjan was blasted backward. Tobias, on the other hand, took off quickly.Thea rushed out at that precise moment, overflowing with Murderous Energy.She ignored Lucjan and the others
Thea's ability to reason had left her at this point.She kept picturing James lying in a pool of blood, her mind replaying the scene over and over.“His power was absorbed…”“He also struck James and injured him…”These words continued to ring in her head, agitating her.Hatred had already taken over her.“Die.”There was only one thought on her mind: avenge James by killing the person in front of her.She made full use of her speed. Only a sliver of her afterimage could be seen as she dashed forward, appearing over Tobias' head.With the Malevolent Sword in her hands, she slashed at him.Tobias cried out in dismay. He immediately drew a longsword from its sheath behind him.While wielding the longsword, he executed the Thirteen Heavenly Swords. A terrifying Sword Energy burst forth.Boom!Sword Energy and Sword Light collided.An explosion instantly erupted in the sky.Like water, energy waves rippled throughout the area in all directions.As if it had been purified, t
Tobias' facial expression abruptly changed. He quickly dodged it in a flash.Just as he had escaped it, the Sword Light struck down.It hit the ground.Boom!Clouds of dust swirled up and filled the air in an instant.A chasm measuring a hundred meters in length appeared on the ground.“How strong.”“The strength of the Celestial Sect's leader appears to be increasing indefinitely.”“Yeah.”When the three of them saw this happening, they were all stunned, including Thomas.Thomas was also astounded by the strength Thea had demonstrated.His expression was one of confusion. He muttered to himself, “What’s going on here? How could have Thea's power increased so dramatically in a split second?”Despite his experience and knowledge, Thomas was unable to figure it out.Tobias, on the other hand, had absorbed all of James’ True Energy, as well as the True Energy from a dozen powerful martial artists.His body was on the verge of exploding.However, as the fierce fight continue
“Ezekiel, what are you shouting for?”As soon as Thea left, Lucjan turned to face Thomas, who was pretending to be Ezekiel, and questioned him, “What did you mean by that? Why did the Sect Leader of Celestial Sect leave when you brought up James?”Thomas shrugged and said, “I just guessed that the leader of the Celestial Sect is Thomas, but I didn't expect it to be true.”“Is it really?”Lucjan had a look of disbelief.“It was just a speculation, that’s why I put it to the test,” said Thomas. “Consider for a moment: besides Thomas, who else in this world would have such strength?”Lucjan did not doubt Thomas' words, since they made a lot of sense.The person who benefited the most from the Spirit Turtle was Thomas. His strength was unrivaled in the world.Right now, Lucjan wanted to kill Tobias.Tobias was injured and even lost an arm. He thought he would certainly be dead.However, the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect unexpectedly left at a crucial moment.He breathed a si
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
