He quickly decided to forfeit the battle and escape.Swoosh!Thea had been watching the battle from a distance.Seeing that Tobias was trying to flee, she quickly moved and appeared in front of him, blocking his path.“Think you can leave?”Thea looked at him coldly and said, “You can’t leave now that you’re here. Mt. Thunder Pass shall be your resting place.”After saying that, she raised the Malevolent Sword and swung it forward.A hundred-meter-long Sword Light emerged.Tobias quickly dodged the attack.Boom!The hundred-meter-long sword light smashed into the ground.Immediately, the mountain began to shake.All of Mt. Thunder Pass began to collapse.At that moment, James joined in. He used the Blithe Fist of Abomination. His body flickered through the sky, and countless illusions of palms materialized in the air.In just a brief moment, Tobias was struck many times by the palms.Tobias had been beaten into a miserable state and no longer had his previous invincible
The masked man wounded Maxine and pushed her away. Then, he quickly dragged Tobias, who had been pierced by the eighty-one needles, with him.Thea chased after them.She knew Tobias would die after being struck by Exalter.The person who saved Tobias must have been his comrade.Thus, he also had to die.Meanwhile, James quickly rushed to Maxine.When he got close to her, she had already collapsed into a pool of blood.Blood constantly gushed out of her mouth.James tried to help her but noticed that her back was also stained red with blood. He instantly tore off her clothes and saw her bloody back.Seeing this, he panicked a little.He quickly took her hand and checked her pulse.James’ expression turned solemn.“What’s wrong?”Thomas showed up just then and said, “Move. Let me take a look.”James did not have Crucifier with him. Without it, his medical skills were significantly reduced.He immediately stepped aside.Thomas quickly checked Maxine’s injury and catalyzed
Unfortunately, there was a problem with her body.Her blood had completely transformed into the Spirit Turtle’s blood. Initially, it did not affect her body, and the Spirit Turtle’s blood was perfectly compatible with her organs.However, there was now an incompatibility.Her blood had lost its ability to regenerate, and if she lost blood, her body would not be able to compensate for it.Her body had already stopped supplying blood to some of her organs.Therefore, she had to force the blood to circulate to some of her organs.According to her estimation, she only had a few more years to live.Once her body ran out of blood to supply to her organs, she would die.It was also possible for her to die from excessive blood loss.“I-I’m fine.”Thea gently shook her head.She did not tell James about her condition, fearing he would worry about her.Her only wish was for James to retire as soon as possible. She wanted to use her limited time to give birth to a son or daughter for
Mt. Thunder Pass had been demolished.The cliff collapsed, and trees were uprooted everywhere.About half an hour later…Thomas was done treating Maxine.He slowly placed Maxine on the ground, letting her lie on her side.“How is she?“Is she alright, Grandpa?” James quickly inquired.Thomas replied, “Her injuries are under control. Her life won’t be in danger for the time being. However, the injury she sustained from the palm attack is quite severe, and it’ll require a long time for her to recuperate. She’ll need constant True Energy to maintain the vitality in her body. Otherwise, she might die any time.”He turned to James and continued, “The only thing that can save her is Crucifier.”“Alright.”James nodded lightly and said, “I’ll go look for Crucifier as soon as possible to treat her.”Maxine was taken hostage because of him and Thea.James felt a little guilty.“Alright, everyone, disperse.”Thomas urged the martial artists around them to leave.He scanned their f
The Omniscient Deity thought for a while and replied, “I want some of your blood.”“...”James was stunned.“You want some of my blood?”“That’s right.”“What do you need my blood for?”“You don’t have to know. I don’t need much. Just a little bit will do.”While speaking, he took out a small syringe and handed it to James, saying, “Fill this syringe up. If you agree to my condition, I’ll send you information about Xavion’s whereabouts in three days.”James did not hesitate. He took the syringe, stuck it in his arm, and drew some blood. Then, he handed it to the Omniscient Deity.“I’ll be waiting for your good news.”“Goodbye.”The Omniscient Deity did not linger. He turned around and left upon receiving James’ blood.After he left, James pondered for a while.After thinking for some time, he asked, “Delainey, do you know the Omniscient Deity well?”Delainey nodded lightly and said, “Yeah.”James asked, “What kind of person is he?”Delainey replied, “I often visit the J
Tobias was a pawn that was hard to come by.Sky did not want to give him up just yet.However, he had no means of saving Tobias.Thus, he did not want to waste Tobias’ True Energy.At that moment, Tobias felt his True Energy being rapidly sucked out of him. He panicked and tried to fight back.However, he was severely injured and on the brink of death. It was already hard for him to speak, so it was even more impossible for him to fight back.Helplessly, he watched as his True Energy was absorbed.Tobias’ True Energy was very strong, and it took Sky an hour to absorb it completely.The absorption of Tobias’ True Energy made Sky feel bloated and uncomfortable. He had to look for a place to refine the True Energy. Otherwise, his body would explode.Sky casually threw Tobias on the ground, leaving him to die.Then, he quickly left the area.Sky’s departure left Tobias in silence.Occasionally, some groans would resound in the area.Rustle!Footsteps approached.There was th
Surviving was Tobias’ top priority.“I’ll pass on the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals to you right now.”“What?” Tobias looked puzzled.Thomas explained, “It’s the signature martial art technique James cultivated. It’s how James managed to recover his strength and become a top expert.”“Alright, hurry…”Tobias could not wait.Thomas began to teach him the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals.At the same time, he used his True Energy to maintain Tobias’ vitality and keep him alive.Meanwhile, James was already on his way back to Southern Plains City.He was completely unaware that Thomas had left earlier to look for Tobias and set up his plans to slay the dragon.James drove back to Southern Plains City.Thea sat in the passenger seat and stared out the window in a daze.Delainey sat in the back row without saying anything.The car ride was quiet, and the atmosphere felt a little off.“By the way…”James suddenly turned to Thea, who was staring blankly out the window, and asked, “Thea,
Thea had no other wishes.She simply wanted to use the limited time she had left to have a child with James as proof of their love. That alone was enough for her.James looked at her and made a vow. “I will cure you. I may have lost Crucifier, but I’ll find it and help you extend your life span by returning your blood to normal.”Thea fell silent.She knew her body’s condition well.Her blood had already fused with the Spirit Turtle’s blood.Her blood had been engulfed by the Spirit Turtle’s blood, and the two types of blood fused into one.After she absorbed the power within the Spirit Turtle’s blood, her blood mutated and could no longer regenerate. She could only rely on her body's existing blood, which would not last her very long.No matter how miraculous Crucifier was, it would not be capable of helping her blood regenerate.There was no other blood like hers on earth.There was no one who could transfuse blood to her.However, she did not want to shatter James’ hope.
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
