“Pheonix blood?”Thea was thunderstruck. She could not help but exclaim, “This is phoenix’s blood?”“Yes.” Tyrus nodded and said, “It is indeed phoenix’s blood.”“Who are you, exactly? Why do you have phoenix blood? It’s such a valuable thing. Why would you give it to me?”“To be honest, I don’t really want to give it to you,” said Tyrus. “Phoenix’s blood is quite rare. Now, we only have so little left. With such a small amount of phoenix blood, a person's constitution can be changed and made immortal. I don't want to give it to you, but it’s a gift from my father to you.”“Your father, who is he?”“My name’s Tyrus. My father… You can call him the Prince of Orchid Mountain.”“What?” Thea was once again stunned when she heard the words ‘Prince of Orchid Mountain’. “What did you say? Your father’s the Prince of Orchid Mountain? The Prince of Orchid Mountain who tried to kill the Spirit Turtle a thousand years ago?”The Prince of Orchid Mountain. It was impossible for Thea not to
Meanwhile, overseas…On the island where the Dragon Abyss was located.After a few days, James was able to fully recover the True Energy he had used while wielding the Fourteen Heavenly Swords.He was saddened by the fact that it took him a few days to recover this time. If he had some kind of elixir that could help him regain his True Energy, he would not need to wait as long.He made the decision that once he returned to Sol, he would study the Medical Book and create some elixir that would aid in the recovery of True Energy. That way, when he used up his True Energy in the future, he could recover quickly.After regaining his True Energy, he carefully approached the Dragon Abyss while holding onto the Primordial Dragon Blade.He soon appeared at the Dragon Abyss. However, he did not enter the cave hastily this time.Like before, he went hunting for some meat. He then built a fire and began roasting it.As the scent of meat started to fill the air, the strange hairy man was s
“Oh, right.”James was suddenly reminded of something. The strange man brought him here, so he must be familiar with this writing from a thousand years ago. He could read these words too. Why not use this kind of writing to communicate with him?He pulled out the Primordial Dragon Blade immediately. As soon as he took it out, the strange, hairy man immediately backed away, his body tense with hostility. His long, straight hair was standing on end, and his dark pupils turned crimson.When James saw this, he was quite shocked. He just wanted to write on the ground with the sword. He did not expect to be misunderstood or that he would trigger the strange man.Since he had been through this before, James did not dare to stay put this time. Instead, he sprinted off and vanished in the cave in an instant. He escaped quickly, running straight to the coast.When he realized the strange man was not chasing after him, he finally exhaled a sigh of relief. This time, he stayed there for hal
James was looking intently at the martial arts written on the stone wall.The martial arts were divided into two parts. The first half was the cultivation method and the general outline.This martial art was named the Lunar and Terra Art.“The Lunar and Terra Art’s essence is heaven and earth.” “Thus, the Lunar and Terra Art is also known as the Heaven and Earth Art.”“When cultivating the Lunar and Terra Art, one could cultivate two types of energy, Lunar Energy and Terra Energy, also known as the two energies of heaven and earth. They are two complementary streams of True Energy that work well together.”James concentrated on the martial arts documented on the stone wall.However, it was far too profound. He could only understand the brief introductions at the beginning, but not anything after that.It was not that he could not read it. Rather, his martial arts skills were not quite there yet. He had not yet met the requirements for cultivating the Lunar and Terra Art.Acco
Thomas walked over and said, “Tomorrow is the day Sky assembles martial artists from all over the world. Every martial artist is heading toward Mount Ludis right now. If I’m guessing correctly, Sky wants to be the Great Grandmaster of the entire martial community. He’s quite powerful and has reached the peak of the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair. Now, only you can stop him.”Thea looked at Thomas with a slightly troubled expression on her face. She said, “But I haven’t reached the Ninth Stair yet. I’m only at the Seventh Stair. There’s still a large gap between myself and Sky in terms of power.”“You’re only at the Skyward Stairway’s Seventh Stair?” Thomas furrowed his brow.Shortly after, he sighed and said, “There's not enough time. If you were given another two weeks, the power you’ll gain from the Four Holy Beasts’ blood would certainly get you to the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair. However, we’re running out of time. You’ll have to go regardless. Given that Sky was the one who
“I agree.”“I second that.”“Sky, Sky, Sky.”After the first person stood forward, the others followed. All of them called for Sky to be the leader of the entire martial arts community.Sky raised both of his hands, then pressed them downward slightly. The ruckus instantly quieted down.When it was quiet, Sky said, “Everyone, please hear me out. I can’t be the leader of the entire martial arts community. Many senior martial artists of prestige and virtue are in attendance. There’s Master Maha from the Sylvan Sect, Spirit Master from the Heaven and Earth Sect, as well as the Ancient Four, martial artists from the Five Swirling Blades Sect, and also martial artists from other countries. Therefore, I can’t be the Great Grandmaster.”Sky started to refuse the suggestions. However, he was secretly delighted. He was merely making a show of refusing.He was the strongest person there. Certainly, he was entitled to the position of Great Grandmaster.The First Blood Emperor was also p
“I’m sorry.”’Sky bowed down to the crowd.“Due to my lack of strength, I was unable to save James. As a result, Sol has lost a powerhouse and its protector.”His apology was sincere.Maxine could not find any holes in his explanation.“Is-Is he really dead?”Her mouth hung open in disbelief.“Yeah. I’m afraid that’s the truth.”Then, he turned around and looked at the people surrounding him. In a loud voice, he declared, “My fellow martial artists, there is a powerful martial artist that has lived for several thousand years on that island! Dragons also do in fact exist in this world! Let’s join forces, to defeat that martial artist and destroy the island with the help of modern technology to avenge James! We’ll all acquire dragon blood and gain immortality! Together, we shall build a prosperous dynasty and restore peace on earth!“We’re martial artists after all!“We’re stronger than ordinary people, so it’s our duty to protect them!”Sky used to stand alongside the King.So
Linna was the Meranian Psychics's deputy captain.Despite her young age, she was relatively strong.At the age of 27, she was already a 9S Psychic.She appeared in Mount Ludis’ central area. She looked at Sky’s gloomy face with a smirk and said, “Whoever’s the strongest gets to be the Great Grandmaster, right?”Sky’s expression lightened up.He smiled and replied, “Yeah. That’s the rule. Who might you be? You should introduce yourself.”Linna replied, “I’m the Meranian Psychics’ deputy captain, Linna.”When he heard his opponent was a psychic, Sky’s expression became solemn.Merania was the most powerful country in the world currently, and its military might was stronger than Sol’s. They were Sol’s largest threat.Most of the past battles within Sol’s borders were mainly stirred up by this country from behind the scenes.As an ex-confidant to the King, it was natural he knew about the psychics.The Meranian Psychics used to only be active abroad and had never stepped into So
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
