His voice rang out clearly.Sol’s ancient martial artists all exchanged wary glances.Even the Spirit Master was defeated in one fell swoop.Was there anyone in Sol who could stand against this opponent?Thomas simply watched the events unfold and had no intentions of interfering. At that moment, all eyes were on Sky.“Sky, please take him on!”“Sky, the position as Great Grandmaster of the martial world belongs to you. We’re begging you to step in and defeat the Thunder King!”Numerous martial artists pleaded with Sky to do something about the situation.“Alright.”Sky stepped forward and said, “Since no one is taking on the challenge, I’ll be the one who defeats this psychic from Merania.His declaration echoed throughout the mountain.Then, he slowly advanced until he appeared 100 meters away from the Thunder King.A sly smile crept on the Thunder King’s chiseled face.He knew exactly who Sky was.Psychics have kept a relatively low profile in recent times, but have
Thea appeared during a critical moment.In her hands was the Malevolent Sword.Her appearance caused an uproar.It was no secret that Thea had lost her memories and strength after she converted her cultivation base. To find her, James offered the Novenary Golden Pills to anyone that could provide information on her whereabouts.After a year, she suddenly reappeared in Cansington.However, she had lost her memories and cultivation base.After appearing suddenly, she descended from the sky.The energy radiating from her stunned everyone present.The crowd was also in awe of her beauty.Sky frowned upon seeing Thea show up and thought to himself, ‘Why did she come here to interfere?’Sky looked at Thea.Thea’s eyes were also fixated on him.Thea ignored the Thunder King and glared at Sky furiously.Swoosh!She pointed the Malevolent Sword at Sky.After being taken aback for a second, Sky smiled and said, “What’re you doing, Thea?”Thea asked coldly, “James headed out to se
Mount Ludis could no longer bear the pressure from Thea’s energy and collapsed into large boulders.Boom!The whole mountain began to crumble to the ground.Plumes of dust billowed into the sky.Fortunately, the spectating martial artists had already evacuated Mount Ludis. Otherwise, they would have been injured by Thea’s potent energy.“What’s with her energy?”Sky’s blood ran cold after sensing Thea’s energy, and he quickly backed away.Her energy was overpowering.It was similar to James’ energy when he was at his strongest, perhaps even stronger.The Thunder King wore a solemn expression.He had heard about Thea before and looked into her a little.Thus, he knew Thea was a martial artist but had lost her strength for unknown reasons. He never expected her to be this strong.Sky fled far away and said, “Thea, I really had no hand in it. James and I were like brothers. I am also deeply saddened by his death. It’s why I’m trying to gather the strongest martial artists in t
As she swung her sword, another Sword Light appeared.Before the Sword Light struck her opponent, the sheer force of its creation caused the collapsed mountain ruins to disperse further.The Thunder King floated in mid-air.He knew it was his chance to display his strength.Psychics have kept a low profile internationally for so many years.The world had been dominated by martial artists all this time. Although people knew of psychics, they did not have a strong presence.He could control the global martial art community if he could resist Thea’s attack and defeat her. Faced with the Sword Light, the Thunder King showed no fear.The electricity surrounding him quickly gathered together and formed a lightning bolt that was the size of a burly man’s arm. The lightning bolt zipped forward and collided with the black Sword Light.The lightning bolt and Sword Light collided. Boom!Their collision caused a deafening explosion.The explosion stunned some martial artists with wea
Thea’s arm was struck by the lightning and ended up being mutilated.She dropped the Malevolent Sword.In the distance, Thomas watched with slightly furrowed brows.He did not want to step in.Even if he interrupted the fight, it was not assured that he would be able to defeat the Thunder King since he was weaker than Sky. How could he stand against the Thunder King if even Sky was prudent in their battle?Furthermore, Thea was stronger than him.However, seeing that Thea was about to lose the battle, he frowned and turned to the masked men behind him.These people were his last resort.He had secretly recruited them recently, and their strength was beyond words.At that moment, he planned to order them to rescue Thea.Everyone was disposable in his grand schemes, except for Thea.Just as the thought crossed his mind, Thea, who was on the battlefield, grew enraged.Her aura grew stronger, and her energy caused some of the rocks around her to be blasted away instantly.She
Thomas called out to Thea, snapping her out of madness in time.She did not strike a deadly blow. Instead, she only knocked the Thunder King away.Thomas had his own selfish reason for stopping hers.He knew the dragon was powerful and would not be easily slain.Losing a strong asset now would make slaying the dragon a more precarious task.The Thunder King possessed considerable strength and was not weaker than a martial artist who had reached the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair. Such strength would be helpful in the fight to slay the dragon.Thomas appeared in time and walked toward Thea.Thea looked at Thomas and asked warily, “Sir Caden, why did you want to save him? I haven’t been a martial artist for long, but I know the Meranian Psychics have been antagonizing us all these years.”Thomas said, “Thea, slaying the dragon is our biggest priority. The dragon is ferocious, and it’s not going to be easy to take it down. If you kill one powerhouse right now, it’ll make slaying
Thomas asked, “Does that mean you acknowledge Thea as the Great Grandmaster.”The Thunder King nodded. “Yes.”Thomas said, “Then, according to the previous agreement, from now onward, everyone must obey the orders of our Great Grandmaster.”The Thunder King nodded and said, “I acknowledge her and will obey her command, but only on this expedition to slay the dragon. That will be the extent of my submission to her command.”“Alright.” Thomas nodded.That was more than enough.With the addition of psychics, their projected success at slaying the dragon was doubled.Thomas looked at Thea and said, “Thea, you should give the order now.”“Me?” Thea frowned.“What do I tell them?”Thomas said, “We’ll follow your instructions on how to slay the dragon. You’re in charge of our next step."Thea had no idea what to do.She knew nothing about dragons.After thinking for a while, she said, “How about we gather in Cansington first and discuss this matter there.”Cansington was conveni
The martial community’s conference on Mount Ludis had successfully come to an end.Initially, Sky wanted to seize the opportunity to become the martial community’s Great Grandmaster. However, Merania’s psychics appeared unexpectedly, and he chose not to act to reveal his strength. Ultimately, Thea became the Great Grandmaster.Sky was dissatisfied with the outcome.After everyone had left, Sky sat among the ruins and smoked a cigarette dejectedly.Suddenly, a man wearing a red mask walked over.Sky sensed the approaching person and stood up immediately.“Teacher.” Sky looked at him respectfully.He was unclear about his teacher’s identity.Sky had never seen his teacher’s appearance and only knew his teacher was strong and taught him unique martial art techniques. Even the heaven-defying Great Law of Absorption was introduced to him by his teacher.The masked Omniscient Deity looked at Sky and said, “Mhm. What’s wrong? You’re in a bad mood.”With a disappointed face, Sky re
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
