The elderly man spoke. He possessed great authority among the Blood Race and had the final say over the external affairs of the clan. Even the First Blood Emperor obeyed his command. He was Sergio Walchelin, grandson of Kaiden Walchelin. Since he had lived for five hundred years, he had reached the peak of Ninth Stair. Kaiden briefly contemplated before saying, “How about this? We’ll hand over the dragon blood we possess and leak information about the dragon’s whereabouts. In the meantime, we’ll seize the opportunity to weaken the Solean martial artists.” Sergio said, “Give your orders, Grandfather.”Kaiden said, “We’ll let the Soleans fight against each other. Whoever emerges victorious will obtain the dragon blood and information about the dragon’s whereabouts.”“What a brilliant move!”“That sounds like a good plan.” “If Sol sends its ninth-rank grandmasters, we’ll make them turn against each other. Even if they’re only severely injured, we can seize the opportunity and
Sky looked at James with a smile on his face. However, deep down, he gnashed his teeth in frustration. James was a huge menace to him. He had to find an opportunity to get rid of him once and for all. However, now was not the time. He planned to finish James off secretly once the battle at the Nashaxi Desert was over. Though he was in the same realm as James, James’ True Energy was slightly stronger than his. He stood no chance against James if he confronted him head-on. However, if he could lure him into an ambush, he could gravely injure James no matter how strong James was. Should that come to pass, the outcome would be vastly different.Meanwhile, James looked at Sky with a smile. He did not trust Sky either. Ever since Tapio Cabral schemed against him at King Quavon’s Mausoleum a year ago, he kept his guard up at all times. All this while, he had been wary of Sky.“Here’s to a pleasant cooperation.” Sky extended his arm to shake James’ hand. James, however, only smiled fai
James scanned them from head to toe. They were all glamorous-looking women with curvaceous figures. At that moment, a malicious thought surfaced in his mind as he imagined the women servicing him. However, he immediately suppressed his desires. Looking at the First Blood Emperor, he said with a smile, “I have no need for them.” Believing that James was disinterested in those women, the First Blood Emperor hurriedly said, “What kind of women do you like, James? Or do you perhaps have some sort of fetish? Why don’t I arrange for some princesses to be sent here?” James waved his hand slightly, “That sounds great, but I’m already married.” “I understand.” The First Blood Emperor said with a smile, “There aren’t many decent men like you. In that case, I’ll be taking my leave.” After saying that, he left alongside the women. James, on the other hand, scratched his nose. Just a moment ago, he almost asked the First Blood Emperor to allow the women to stay. However, he managed to s
After having a conversation with Simon, James headed back to Sky’s room. Hearing that there was no longer a commotion inside, he knocked on the door. Soon, a blonde-haired beauty draped in pajamas answered the door. James waved at her, saying, “You’re dismissed.” As he said that, he simply walked on. Sky, who was naked from the waist up was sitting on the bed. Looking at James, he asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” James walked over to him and sat on the sofa. Sky got dressed and walked over to James, handing him a cigar as he took a seat beside him. James took it and said, “You’re well-connected. I came here to ask you about the number of martial artists who came.” Sky said with a smile, “Don’t worry… Who can defeat us when we work together? They don’t stand a chance at all.” James said coldly, “We shouldn’t underestimate our enemies.” Sky said in a serious tone, “I received news that Simon Cabral of the Mount Thunder Sect, Tanner Davis of the Gu Sect, an
Thea listened to Tiara’s words in silence as she exaggerated her relationship with James. “James belonged to me, but you appeared out of nowhere and took him away from me. Please leave James, I’m begging you. You’ve already lost your memory. Since you no longer remember him, why can’t you return him to me?” Thea furrowed her eyebrows. She had never heard of this from James. She scratched her nose and asked puzzledly, “Are you telling the truth?” “Yes, I am.” Hearing this, Thea fell silent. After some time, she grabbed her handbag and stood up, saying, “You’ve misunderstood. I have no relationship whatsoever with James.” Saying that, she turned to leave. As she turned, she had a confused expression on her face. ‘Is she telling me the truth? Did I really snatch someone else’s man? What kind of person was I in the past?’ Thea pondered. Puzzled, she returned to the Callahans’. On the balcony on the third floor… Thea stared blankly at the scenery in the distance.
Thea was hesitant. In the end, as she was fearful of death, she decided against consuming the blood. So, she carefully stored it somewhere else. In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Today was the day of the tournament. There was an arena in the castle in the middle of the Nashaxi Desert. At that moment, the venue was crowded with people.The First Blood Emperor appeared in the arena and looked at the crowd, announcing, “Everyone, the Blood Race will hold up its end of the bargain. Whoever emerges victorious shall be awarded the dragon blood left behind by our ancestors a millennium ago.” “Not only that, but we will also reveal the whereabouts of the dragon.” “Dragon blood allows one to attain immortality. This is a fact and not a lie. The Blood Race has treasured the dragon blood for a thousand years. Today, we shall offer it to the strongest of all. However, be mindful that you may lose your life in the arena.” Saying that, he left the arena. Many people gathered
As dragon blood was the only thing that could save Thea’s life, James had no other choice. He did not wish to lose her. For her, he would go to the ends of the earth. “And your strength?” Thomas said, “I’m simply worried that you might be in danger when slaying the dragon.” James smiled and said, “Worry not, my strength isn’t beneath yours.” “True, you’ve obtained the Novenary Golden Pill, after all. You must have consumed the pill now that a year has passed. So, have you crossed into the ninth rank?” James smiled bitterly and said, “How could that be? History would be full of ninth-ranked grandmasters if it were that easy.” “That’s true.” The two conversed in whispers. Ten minutes passed. However, no one dared step forward. James furrowed his eyebrows. This could not go on. He said goodbye to Thomas and walked over to Sky, asking, “Ten minutes have passed. Yet, no one is stepping forward. Are you really not going?” “Nope.” Sky said, “I don’t have a death wish
The Hellfire Sword was a world-renowned sword that belonged to the founder of the Polaris Sect. Legend had it that the sword was forged using quartz steel formed deep beneath a volcano. The quartz steel only came into existence during a volcano eruption that took place a long time ago. After the great efforts of many blacksmiths, the Hellfire Sword was born. The sword was candescent, just like a soldering iron. The moment it was unsheathed, its temperature would climb rapidly. The Hellfire Sword was also a renowned divine sword in history that was ranked fourth among all divine swords. Zekiel became the new owner of Hellfire Sword after he discovered the Hellfire Sword in the holy site of the Polaris Sect. Although he was unremarkable, this sword allowed him to unleash a power that far surpassed his strength. Holding the Hellfire Sword in his hand, he looked at James with a bright smile, seemingly trying to boast that he had such a divine sword in his possession. Though James 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
