An iron rod slipped out of his wide sleeve, and he swung it at Edgar’s head.Edgar's head started bleeding immediately after he was struck.Edgar felt dizzy and could not react for a while.The subordinate tightened his grip on the rod and continued beating him up.Edgar fell to the ground and groaned in pain.“B-B*stard! Brodie Wachob, how dare you…”Edgar cursed out from the ground.Another kick followed after he cursed out.After Brodie beat up Edgar, he approached James and Thea. He slightly bent over and apologized, “Ms. Thea, Dragon King, I’m sorry that that dumb*ss, Edgar, is a fool and can’t recognize you two. I’ve already taught him a lesson.”While speaking, he fell to the ground on his knees and kept kowtowing.“Please take me in, Dragon King.”James looked at Brodie.With his current status and strength, he was too lazy to deal with such gangsters. Others would laugh at him if word got out.He turned around and looked at Zion, asking, “What’s going on?”Zion r
James was telling the truth.Although he had disappeared for a year, he was still the Dragon King.Thea was his wife.Although the two had already gone through divorce procedures, it was a known fact that they were still together.Perhaps some people would not recognize Thea, but most people in Cansington knew her, especially prominent figures. No matter where she went, she would be treated with respect.Thea touched her nose pensively.She did indeed feel like it was true.During this period, outsiders treated her with the utmost respect no matter where she went.This was one of the main reasons she wanted to get to know James.She wanted to find out what had happened in the past eleven years that she had lost.The two chatted over food.The food was finished in no time.Meanwhile, the Blithe King had also dropped by quickly with troops to arrest Edgar.Brodie also started on his task. He called all his friends over for dinner, and the barbecue restaurant was almost overc
James just jumped across a distance of several meters with ease.Thea looked at James in astonishment.James said with a smile, “I told you I’m a martial artist, and so are you. You used to be incredibly strong and were considered one of the strongest people in the world.”Despite James mentioning these things before, Thea still had no clue what he was talking about.Thea looked at James and asked out of curiosity, “Am I really a martial artist too?”“Of course.” James could not help but hold her hand.Thea immediately pulled her hand back.James said with a smile, “I’ve already found a way to restore your memories.”“Oh, really?” Thea looked at him in doubt.James nodded and said, “Yeap. As long as you recover your strength, your memories will be restored. Your cultivation base has been integrated into your blood. If you unleash it from your blood, you can restore your memories. However, I recommend you not to do it because you’ll only have a few years to live if you recover
Callan also wanted to see the Blood Race for himself.James quickly rejected him. “Sky must be planning to cause trouble for the Blood Race this time. There’s something he’s trying to acquire from them. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the dragon’s blood. He’s probably the one that spread the news.“His purpose is to make it known to others so martial artists around the globe will target the Blood Race. Some of them will surely head to the Blood Race to check out the situation, and he’ll seize the chance to snatch the dragon’s blood.”James shared his speculations.In actuality, he was unsure of whether Sky was heading to the Blood Race for the dragon's blood. He also did not know if there was any more dragon blood left in the Blood Race since it had been over thousands of years.However, apart from the dragon’s blood, he could not think of any other reason for Sky to make a trip to the Blood Race.It would be dangerous for Callan to follow them.Although Callan was strong, Jam
On Mount Jade, the Omniscient Deity sat on a rock in the back mountain.He held a flute in his hand.The melody from the flute sounded like flowing water, resounding throughout the mountain range.Suddenly, he stopped.He looked into the night sky and said, “Since you’re here, you should show yourself.”Swoosh!As his words fell, a figure dashed toward him from a distance and landed firmly in front of him.The man looked to be around his forties. He wore a white robe and had short, black hair. He seemed to be very energetic and radiated powerful energy.It was Thomas.The Omniscient Deity looked at Thomas and asked, “It’s you, Thomas. What’s so urgent for you to come and see me so late?”Thomas walked over and sat down on a rock opposite the Omniscient Deity. He glanced at him and asked coldly, “What’re you up to, Lord Omniscient? How did you know about the Blood Race, and why did you spread the information?”“So you’re here because of this?”The Omniscient Deity replied ca
The Omniscient Deity muttered to himself.Then, he left Mount Jade.Meanwhile, Sky was sitting in a lotus position in a simple wooden house on a huge desolate mountain in Sol. Powerful energy emitted from him.He was cultivating in an attempt to break through to the ninth rank with all his strength.Suddenly, his body fell to the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.He gradually got up from the ground, wiped the blood from his lips, and murmured disappointedly, “I failed again. Why is this happening? I’ve already reached the limits of my cultivation base and can’t improve further, so why can’t I break into the ninth rank yet?”Sky could not figure it out.Thud, thud, thud.There were footsteps outside his door.Sky stood up and walked out of the house.A person was waiting outside the door.He wore a red mask that covered most of his face, making it hard to recognize him.“Teacher,” Sky greeted respectfully upon seeing the person at his door.“Mhm.”The red-masked
Tapio stood up, turned around, and left.After he left, Tyrus’ expression darkened. He got up and headed deep into the underground palace to meet his father again.Immediately, he explained the latest rumors to his father.“Father, do you think the Omniscient Deity is about to make a move?”“Ha.” The seemingly young man with an elderly demeanor who was sitting on a mat sneered lightly.“The Omniscient Deity is a powerful martial artist. I would’ve died in his hands if I hadn't faked my death. I’ve been hiding here all these years and have never exposed myself. He doesn’t know I’m still alive, and I’m secretly watching his every move.”“What should we do next, Father?”“The Omniscient Deity has lived for many years and is bored. He wants to help a few martial artists become stronger so they would accompany him. Then, I’ll have to head out and have some fun with him by teaching him that there are people stronger than him.”Hearing this, Tyrus asked with excitement, “Father, doe
Eyrothia, Nashaxi.This was a small country in Eyrothia, which was not very well known globally. It was a small country with a low population.At most, there were only hundreds of thousands of people.The Blood Race’s headquarters was situated in this country.Within a luxurious castle in Nashaxi, the First Blood Emperor knelt on the floor.On the head seat of the main hall, an elderly man with pale skin and long hair was seated. He looked to be more than a hundred years old.The elderly man looked very old.His pale skin lacked a rosy tint, making him look terrifying.“Grand Patriarch.”The First Blood Emperor knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “The outside world is spreading stories about our family. The rumors are about how our family started a thousand years ago, the dragon blood within our family, and how one would be granted immortality after acquiring dragon blood.”“Has word already gotten out about us?”The elderly man sitting in the head seat murmured, “I k
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
