Divine Sword Villa was a low-profile but powerful sect.The sect hardly paid any attention to worldly affairs. Even a hundred years ago, when Sol was in dire straits, no one from Divine Sword Villa Sect exposed themselves, nor did they support Sol in the war.Callan learned about Divine Sword Villa by chance.This would be his second time visiting them.James looked at the steep mountain devoid of human traces.He nodded and said, “Mhm. Let’s go check out Divine Sword Villa.”“We should head this way.”Callan pointed in the right direction.Then, he strode ahead and quickly led the way.James followed closely behind him.The two quickly moved through the dense mountain forest.The mountain roads were steep.However, this did not affect the two of them.About an hour later, a few historical-looking buildings appeared on a mountain ahead of them.A white mist surrounded the top of the mountain. From a distance, these buildings looked like heaven on earth.“It’s right ahead
“Ha!”Hearing this, the young man in the white robe snickered.He looked at Callan with a sneer, then his face darkened, and he said coldly, “Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me in such a manner? It doesn’t matter who you are in the outside world. When you’re in Divine Sword Villa, you go by our rules. We’re not accepting any guests right now. Leave, or else…”“Or else what?”Callan glanced at the man in the white robe.“Die.”The man in the white robe suddenly pulled out the long sword hung around his waist.Bzzt!He swung his long sword, and an invisible Sword Energy swept forward.Callan raised his hand and stretched out two fingers, easily stopping the long sword.His robe fluttered because of the invincible Sword Energy.“What?”The young man’s expression changed immediately.He wanted to draw back his long sword but could not, no matter how hard he tried. Callan exerted a little force on the sword.Clank!The long sword broke in half.The broken b
In actuality, Callan had just learned about the birth of a legendary sword after hearing about it from James.As soon as he entered Divine Sword Villa, he sensed something was wrong, so he deliberately threw out a bait to test the waters.He specifically said they met half a year ago.The truth was that he had met the owner of Divine Sword Villa just recently, and it was not half a year ago.Now, he was sure the person in front of him was an imposter.Although they looked the same, he was not the actual owner of Divine Sword Villa.Therefore, he specifically talked about the birth of the legendary sword to fish out more information.James knew what Callan was trying to do as soon as he heard the conversation.He was aware Callan had met with Divine Sword Villa’s owner recently and not half a year ago.“Oh, you meant that.”The old man in the cyan robe replied, “Mr. Maverick, don’t blame me for pretending not to remember. After all, the sword is very precious to us, and I don’
“That’s a given. Your name was James, right?”“Yeah, that’s right. I’m James.”“James, it’s not that I want to brag, but Divine Sword Villa has a collection of the world’s legendary swords. The Dragonslayer that is to be unleashed is very special. Our sect has spent more than a thousand years on it. More than ten generations worked on forging the sword. Once it’s revealed to the world, it’ll definitely cause an uproar.”Childe began bragging about his sect to James.He was enthusiastic as he spoke of the Dragonslayer.James listened attentively to him.However, he simply praised the Dragonslayer and gave no more information.“Mr. Giovanni, could you bring me on a tour around the villa? I’d like to have a look around.”Childe’s expression immediately darkened, and he said coldly, “James, I’m warning you not to walk around the villa casually. Things are tense right now. The Dragonslayer is about to be released to the world, and we’re on high vigilance. If you walk around without
James and Callan left Divine Sword Villa together and entered the dense forest.Outside Divine Sword Villa, James sat on a rock in an open space in the virgin forest. He took out a cigarette, threw one to Callan, and asked, “What’s the situation on your side?”After Callan took the cigarette, his expression gradually became solemn. He said, “I was brought to the place where the sword was forged and got to see the legendary sword. However, my goal wasn’t to see the sword. It was to bait something out.”James asked, “What is it?”Callan said, “I found out the owner was real. However, he was being controlled. Lucjan was controlling his words and actions with Gu venom.”“But, I met with Childe of Divine Sword Villa and had a brief conversation with him. Judging from his words, he didn’t seem fake since he kept bragging about Divine Sword Villa’s legendary sword. How could that be?”James was slightly confused.He looked at Callan and asked, “Could it be he’s real? Was he trying to s
The First Blood Emperor did not refute him. The Grand Patriarch of the Blood Race had indeed crossed into the ninth rank. However, ever since he reached such a realm, he never once intervened in worldly affairs. There were several times in history when the Blood Race was almost eradicated. However, not once did the Blood Race’s Grand Patriarch intervene. It was impossible to convince him to slay the dragon alongside them. “There’s no need to rush things.” Ezekiel waved his hand slightly and said, “He chose not to intervene as he was unsure of his chances of winning. Once we obtain Dragonslayer, there’s no way he’ll continue to turn a blind eye to our cause. “This is a dragon we’re talking about! There are treasures all over his body. We just need a little bit for ourselves. By then, the Blood Race would benefit the most from it. I’m confident that he would join us in creating a new world order.” The more Ezekiel said, the more excited Lucjan got. Even the First Blood Emperor
James and Callan infiltrated Divine Sword Villa in search of the prisoners. Based on Callan’s observation, a fierce battle had just occurred on the premise. Everyone else apart from a handful of survivors had been killed. Meanwhile, the survivors should be imprisoned inside Divine Sword Villa and under the control of Gu venom. Neither of them knew the exact location. After going separate ways, James and Callan swiftly went on the move. In the blink of an eye, James appeared on the roof of a building, contemplating his next course of action. He believed that it would be highly impossible to search for the prisoners in Divine Sword Villa, which was heavily guarded. After some contemplation, he decided to search for Childe Giovanni to learn more about the current situation. During the day, Nehemiah had bragged to him about the immense power of Dragonslayer. James believed that it was most unwise of Nehemiah to boast about the emergence of Dragonslayer at such a critical moment. Nehemi
Upon hearing this, Nehemiah’s expression darkened. After a while, he nodded slightly, “Yes.” James asked, “What happened?” Nehemiah had boasted about Dragonslayer during the day to attract James’ attention. James’ return was within his calculations. He knew that James and Callan were not here to have a glimpse of Dragonslayer but for something else. Unable to leave Divine Sword Villa, he had no way of seeking help from the outside world. So, he answered James’ question honestly. “About a week ago, unknown men stormed Divine Sword Villa and killed almost every disciple inside. The Sect Elders, on the other hand, were imprisoned. These men’s objective was the forthcoming Dragonslayer. I don’t know who they are. I only know that they are strong. Even the owner of Divine Sword Villa was instantly subdued.” As he said that, he looked at James. “Your reputation precedes you, James. I hope you can save Divine Sword Villa.” Nehemiah’s words corroborated Callan’s speculation. Ja
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
