âNot an earthling?â James was shocked once more.âActually, they are. Kind of.â James was stunned.âWhat is the meaning of not an earthling, but kind of an earthling?ââMy teacher was from the Sealed Realm.âSlowly, the Omniscient Deity began to talk and revealed a secret.James took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm, and asked, âWhatâs the Sealed Realm?âThe Omniscient Deity said, âI donât know much about it either. Back then, my teacher told me that the Sealed Realm is, strictly speaking, on Earth. However, its space has been sealed off, and weâre unable to enter. When my teacher was leaving, they said that in less than a thousand years, the Sealed Realm would be released.âOnce the seal is broken, martial artists from the Sealed Realm will be able to appear on Earth. At that time, the Earth will experience shocking and significant changes. As to how things will turn out in the end, Iâm not sure either.ââThen what about the Void Sect?â James asked tentatively, âDid
James visited the Omniscient Deity to get some information about the Void Sect.He never expected the Omniscient Deity to reveal these secrets to him.The recovery of Spiritual Energy, the drastic changes in the worldâŠall of these were beyond what he could have imagined.However, now that he had crossed into the ninth rank and was in contact with the Empyrean Spiritual Energy, he was able to accept these.Even creatures like dragons had appeared. What else could he not accept?The Omniscient Deity continued, âThe four seals. During these years, Iâve collected three of them. Thereâs still one more seal to go.âAs he said this, he took out the three seals and gave them to James.James was surprised and said, âWhy are you giving them to me?ââTake them.ââOkay.âJames took them and examined them in his hands.Three seals, three different colors. The seals were plain, just like regular seals.James examined them for a while but found nothing noteworthy.The Omniscient Deity sa
They talked about what needed to be done right now.âIf you had taken too long to reach the ninth rank, I would have had to find a way to steal the seal from the Prince of Orchid Mountain and go release the seal. After the seal is released, I would have quickly taken over Sol and ensured the safety of Soleans.âNow that youâve reached the ninth rank, thereâs no rush to open the seal. Weâll first stabilize Sol.âAlright. I understand.âJames nodded. He did not think the Omniscient Deity was joking.Based on the small mysterious plant he had obtained, he could already be sure that the Omniscient Deity was telling the truth.âUnknown humans, unknown vicious beasts, unknown worldâŠâ James muttered.Currently, he was also a little excited about it. He was looking forward to opening the seal and fighting against many more powerful martial artists.Nonetheless, Thea was still the most important right now.He should first head to Mount Bane, fight with the martial artist from the Void
âJames, youâre finally here.âCallan was the first to approach him. He greeted him and asked, âOh, right. You went to Mount Jade to ask the Omniscient Deity about the origins of the Void Sect. Did you get any answers?âJamesâ expression turned solemn. He did indeed get answers.However, the origin of the Void Sect was far too complex. If he revealed it, it would definitely cause an uproar. Otherwise, the Omniscient Deity would not have kept it a secret for so long.âIâve learned some things about it, but Iâm still not sure.ââWhatâs their origin?â Callanâs interest was piqued.The others all looked at James.James said with a smile, âActually, thereâs nothing much about it. Itâs just a sect that stayed hidden for many years. Theyâve been around for over two thousand years and have always kept a low profile. After the dragon was killed and many powerful martial artists emerged, the Void Sect came into existence.âJames made something up carelessly. Even though he trusted the Omn
âYes.âThe disciple turned around and left.Kaj eventually said, âSir, James is the only person who has defeated a Void Sect disciple. Before locating the four seals, we want to be in control of Earth. We must establish our reputation. I brought Jamesâ wife to Mount Bane to force James to show himself. They wonât be willing to respect and follow us until we openly and honestly defeat James and every martial artist on Earth.ââMhm.â The elder nodded and said, âI trust in your abilities. Iâll give you ten years of time. Find the four seals. At the same time, take full control of Earth. Once Earth is completely unified, it will be the time to open the seal.âAfter saying that, he stood up. There was a hint of greed in his expression.âIn the future, the world will belong to the Void Sect.âThe one who opens the seal will get the worldâs blessing and a great opportunity. Kaj, I have high hopes for you. As long as you collect the four seals and open the seal, youâll immediately receiv
James wanted Thea to return to Cansington first since it was too dangerous here.However, Thea did not want to go back.âIâll wait for you, Honey. When youâve defeated the people from the Void Sect, Iâll go back to Cansington with you.âAfter giving it some thought, James decided that since he would be here to look after Thea, it would be fine for her to stay.âAlright.âFollowing that, James waited there for a few days.Soon, it was the day of the fight. As promised, the fight between James and the Void Sect would take place today.It was daybreak.James was sitting in the lotus position on the mountaintop of Mount Bane. He was absorbing the Empyrean Spiritual Energy and turning it into his own True Energy.During these past few days, many more martial artists had come to Mount Bane. The total number of people, both young and old, was around ten thousand.These ten thousand people were the cornerstone of the current ancient martial arts world.The sun was gradually rising.
James frowned after hearing Kajâs words.He thought this was just an ordinary duel where they decided on a winner.He did not expect it to be a fight to the death.Kaj floated mid-air, and his long silver hair flowed in the air. He was a handsome man with outstanding facial features. On his face was a provocative smirk.James had defeated Damian, and it brought disgrace upon the Void Sect.The Void Sect came from the Sealed Realm.Even within the Sealed Realm, they were considered a powerful sect and held power comparable to a divine site.To them, the Earth was nothing but a barren place that lacked Spiritual Energy.The fact that a Void Sectâs disciple had lost to a martial artist from Earth would make them a laughing stock in the Sealed Realmâs other divine sites.This was why Kaj was determined to defeat James in front of all martial artists.Next, he planned to defeat Earth's other ninth-ranked grandmasters, including Sky, the Prince of Orchid Mountain, and the Omniscien
Jamesâ sword attack was so fast. It was not an exaggeration to say it was fast as lightning.Before the sword fell, dust rolled up under Kajâs feet. Immediately, the rocks beneath him were shattered by the invisible energy.Kajâs expression was still as calm as ever.Just as the sword was about to plunge into his head, he swung his leg upward, which was followed by a golden light.The moment he swung his leg, an astonishing energy materialized.His True Energy came into contact with Jamesâ sword.Boom!An explosion swept the area.The energy shockwave spread like ripples through water and destroyed everything in its path.Rocks were shattered, and trees exploded after being struck by the shockwave.The destructiveness of the shock wave was devastating.James was shocked.He felt the terrifying force rushing in his direction and his arm felt numb from the shock, almost causing him to lose his grip on the sword.After exchanging a couple of blows, James understood the terror
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
âNo wonder,â Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yinâs Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Pathâs 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 Jacopoâs identity as an incarnation of Waitara Pathâs 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.âYou fool, do you realize your mistake?âThe Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.âLord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.ââLord 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.âWe need to sort this out first,â the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. âWho's going to explain this later, you or me?âGladwin swallowed nervously. âOf course, it should be you.ââWhy should it be me?â the Yang Governor scoffed. âHaven'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?âGladwin's face twitched. âThis has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.âThe Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. âYou'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 menâŠ" "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 standâŠ""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 warriorsâjust three of themâappeared 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. âWynton, 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.ââAnd so what?â Wynton roared. âYouâre 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!âJames smiled. âKeep going.ââI know you donât want to owe me any favors.â Wynton glared at him angrily. âYou gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.âNow, Iâve given you your childrenâs past selves back, and you owe me once more. Youâre waiting for my terms, arenât you?âJames looked resigned.âWrong,â Wynton sneered. âI wonât 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!âJames sensed something was wrong and was shocked. âWynton!âWynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"ThatâsâŠ" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-Youâre 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.'Itâs 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 canât control it, so you canât either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And sheâs cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wifeâs half-self, finding Wuiaâs 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
