A cruise ship was already docked at Cansington’s port before sunrise on Monday.A group of people approached from a distance. The person in the lead was a woman dressed in black with long black hair. She had an excellent figure and gorgeous looks. In her hand was a long black sword.She radiated an extraordinary aura.It was the Great Grandmaster of the whole martial community, Thea.Following behind her was Thomas.Several other masked men with long swords also followed behind Thomas.The Meranian Psychics were right behind them. Next were Polaris’ Sect’s Archbishop, the Blood Race’s First Blood Emperor, and the Werewolf King.Last in line were some powerful martial artists— including Sky, Callan, Simon, Bennet, Tanner Davis, Xavi Lee, Donovan, Spirit Master, and Master Maha.Almost all the well-known powerful martial artists from Sol were present.Even eighth-ranked grandmasters who had not shown up before joined to slay the dragon.The group boarded the cruise ship und
James waited on the island for a long time, yet Sky had not shown up with any martial artists.Now, he was slightly distraught.He missed Thea, who was far away in Cansington.He sat on a rock by the seat and looked at the crashing waves with a slightly sorrowful expression. After a while, he sighed and stood up.“Sky will surely come soon. Even if he doesn’t, Thomas will be coming. I should use this time to check on the dragon.”James made his way back into the Dragon Abyss.Wilbur was still inside Dragon Abyss.James walked inside and saw a pile of weeds inside the cave.Wilbur was seated in a lotus position among the weeds, and a dazzling light was surrounding his body.When he saw James approach, he stopped cultivating and stood up.James stretched out his hand, and a powerful force beamed from his fingertips, scribbling a sentence on the ground. “Do you know where the dragon is? I’d like to have a look for myself.”Wilbur looked at James and wrote. “Don’t do it. The dra
Her breathy voice was pleasant to the ears, making one feel at ease.She stood beside Thea, and the sea breeze tousled her long hair.Maxine stretched out her slender fingers to tidy up her long chestnut-colored hair that was blown by the wind. She looked into the distance and sighed. “I hope you don’t resent me.”“I don’t resent you.”Thea was expressionless and replied very calmly.Although she did not show any emotion, her tone was very cold and sounded very distant.“Haah.”Maxine sighed.She knew Thea was angry with her.After all, her interference caused so many unexpected situations.“I didn’t expect James' love for you to be so deep. After searching a year for you and learning you were alive without your memories, he traveled this vast ocean to investigate the dragon’s whereabouts. I, too, hope that James is still alive.”“I’m a little tired. I’ll head back inside to rest.”Thea turned around and left.Maxine’s words about hoping James was alive had struck a nerve.
Thea knew these martial artists that came to the island with her had their own motives and were eyeing the dragon’s spoils.She did not want to see a fight break out.She planned to bring everyone back home safely.However, there was nothing she could do if things went beyond her ability to handle them.Thomas looked at Thea. Seeing her pitiful appearance, he felt sympathy for her.He sighed. “Thea, you’re still too naive. Putting everyone else aside, Sky and the Thunder King aren’t going to defer to you. They’re obeying your commands right now just to slay the dragon.“Once the dragon is dead, they will take action.”Hearing this, Thea went silent.Right now, she could not care less about the ancient martial world’s affairs.She only cared to ensure the soldiers on the cruise ship got to return home alive and in one piece.As for these ancient martial artists who decided to quarrel for the dragon blood, it had nothing to do with her.She did not say anything more.The boat
They entered the abyss, but it was empty.After searching around in the abyss, they could not find anyone.Meanwhile, James and Wilbur stood on a rock on a cliff, watching them search the abyss.“Thea?”James saw Thea.Seeing Thea leading the team, James was confused. He murmured, “What’s going on? Why is Thea here? Didn’t she lose her memories and cultivation base? Why did she get herself involved in this mess?”After spotting Thea, James could not himself back anymore.In a flash, he quickly jumped off the cliff and landed at the bottom of the abyss.Meanwhile, Thea was still looking around the abyss. She searched everywhere in the Dragon’s Abyss but could not find the strange, hairy man or James. Feeling anxious, she shouted, “James, where are you? Come out! Please… come to me! Sobs…”She shouted and burst into tears.“Thea.”At that moment, a voice came from behind her.Thea was stunned to hear the familiar yet unfamiliar voice.She turned around.A familiar figure wa
After Callan stepped forward to greet James, those who knew him and even those unfamiliar with him followed suit.James had displayed his terrifying strength abroad when he went to the Blood Race’s territory.Additionally, Thea had recovered her strength.These two together were invincible.No one would get away with antagonizing them.It would not hurt to greet James and get acquainted with him. If anything, it would be extremely beneficial in the future.“Grandpa.”James noticed Thomas and called out to him.“Mhm.”Thomas nodded gently and replied with a smile, “I’m glad you’re alive. Keeping yourself alive is more important than anything else.”James looked at Thea and asked, “You guys are here to slay the dragon, right?”Thea nodded and said, “Yeah, we’re here to slay the dragon. Its blood can make one immortal. Martial artists from all over the world have gathered together with this purpose in mind. This time, we’re well prepared and have high-tech weapons with us. We'l
Wilbur turned around and began leading the way.However, no one dared to follow him.James quickly said, “Let’s go. We’ll find the dragon if we follow him.”With James' reassurance, the martial artists began to follow him.Wilbur led the martial artists into the depths of the Dragon’s Abyss. It did not take long before they reached the coast near a strait.He pointed to the strait ahead and wrote in ancient script on the ground.“The dragon dwells in the strait ahead of us.”There were quite a few people present who could read ancient scripts from thousands of years ago.Seeing the words written by Wilbur, they became excited.The Thunder King said, “Since we already know the dragon’s location, what are we still waiting for? I’ll go lure the dragon out, and everyone can attack together. I’m sure this beast can’t take us all on at once.”After speaking, the Thunder King was about to rush into the strait.However, Thomas dashed in front of him and blocked his path, saying cold
As the turbulence within the water became more intense, a strong current swept toward him. Despite ascending the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Rank, he could not withstand the force and was blasted away, swirling around in the water.He quickly backed away and retreated to a safe distance.Although he was at the bottom of the sea, the water was crystal clear, and he could see everything before him.A head protruded from the massive stone cave before him.It was an enormous camel-like head with slanted horns on top.The dragon also had a long beard and large eyes that emitted a red light like a pair of lanterns.It opened its mouth and revealed two rows of sharp teeth. As it opened its mouth, a terrifying force swept across the water, causing another tempest in the sea. James quickly backed away, but the pressure crashed into him, and he felt pain wrack his body.James swung the Primordial Dragon Blade in his hand.A Sword Energy burst out.It charged forward rapidly at the dragon’s
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
