“Breaking news!“The Dragon King, James, has reappeared in the Southern Plains and arrested more than ten generals, including a one-star general.”The news about what happened in the Southern Plains quickly spread throughout the country and caused an uproar.Talk of it spread quickly all over the country.Before the public had a chance to calm themselves, James appeared on a social media platform for the first time and posted an announcement.“The Southern Plains declares its independence.”At the same time, journalists from all over the country gathered in an eighteen-story building’s top floor at the center of Dragonville in the Southern Plains.James’ voice rang out clearly.It was a live broadcast. Everyone from the country and even all over the world was able to watch it.The news James released online spread like wildfire, and many people tuned into the live broadcast.“What happened?”“Everything is peaceful now, so why did Dragonville suddenly declare its independe
James immediately bowed to Tyrus, who had appeared.“Uncle.”“Hello.”“Last night, rays of light appeared on Mount Bane which grabbed everyone’s attention. According to my father’s suspicions, it happened because Empyrean Spiritual Energy leaked into the earth and caused plants to mutate into spiritual fruits. Our goal this time is to head to Mount Bane and drive off the Void Sect.”James looked at Tyrus and asked, “Uncle, what’s your current rank?”He knew Tyrus had entered the ninth rank but was unsure how close he was to the Supernatural rank. Tyrus smiled faintly and said, “I’m still far from the Supernatural rank. Rest assured, I’m strong enough to deal with the Void Sect.”James gave him a relieved smile and said, “Great! Let’s get on the plane.”James escorted Tyrus onboard the private plane.On the plane, the two had a deep discussion about martial arts.From their conversation, James learned more about the Supernatural rank.Those who reached the Supernatural rank
Tyrus said that more than 2,000 years ago, Sol’s ancient martial world was at its most prosperous.At that time, Mount Bane’s seal somehow came undone, and the Four Holy Beasts entered the earth from the Sealed Realm.Tyrus discovered these secrets left behind in King Quavon’s Mausoleum.James also learned that King Quavon led some people to create an opening in the seal to enter the Sealed Realm.Half a day passed. Eventually, the plane reached Mount Bane.James and Tyrus alighted the plane together.It was daytime, but dazzling rays of light shone brightly in the distant mountains. From a distance, it looked as if gods were about to descend onto the earth. The scene looked remarkable.James was shocked.“H-How is it possible for such blinding light to shine in broad daylight?”Tyrus stared into the distance.His face lit up excitedly. “It’s definitely out of the ordinary. Whatever appeared in Mount Bane must be extraordinary. Even from afar, I can sense the intense Empyre
James realized that the three people he saw earlier were Polaris Sect’s Grand Patriarchs.The three Grand Patriarchs gathered together and reviewed countermeasures.Suddenly, another person plummeted from the sky and slammed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.The person stood back up but instantly coughed out a mouthful of blood.James saw the person’s appearance and realized it was his grandfather, Thomas.He quickly walked over.“Are you alright, Grandpa?”Thomas wiped the blood from his lips and said grimly, “The Void Sect are dreadful opponents. They’re unfazed even with so many people attacking Mount Bane at once.”Right after he spoke, another person fell down.This time, it was Sky.Sky was injured, and his hair was disheveled. It made him look weary.After him, several other strong martial artists plummeted from the sky.All of them were wounded.“We should stop fighting on our own and plan a coordinated attack,” Thomas suggested.“A miraculous item has
“Sir, we’re not going to get anywhere like this. Earth’s martial artists are more powerful than we expected. Apart from the Supernatural grandmaster that appeared previously, there are now several ninth-ranked grandmasters. Moreover, the Blood Race that obtained the dragon’s blood a few thousand years ago has shown up. We can’t afford to antagonize them.”Standing behind, Kaj chose his words carefully.The elderly man’s eyes were fixated on the statue in front of them.The statue appeared last night. Last night, its appearance caused tremors to spread from Mount Bane.Several mountains that disappeared at some point in history reappeared and seamlessly merged with Mount Bane. Along with the appearance of these new terrains was the statue.Even though it was merely a statue, it emanated powerful energy. He had never felt such intense energy, even within the Sealed Realm.“What kind of statue is this? Who does this belong to? The statue alone emits such an imposing power. If the
Everyone at Mount Bane’s foot looked at the Blood Race who showed up.The Blood Race’s Grand Patriarch was Kaiden Walchelin.He had survived after the failed mission to slaughter the dragon more than a thousand years ago.The dragon was injured, and he obtained its blood, which became the foundation of building the Blood Race.However, he was severely injured and had to spend thousands of years recuperating.A few years ago, the First Blood Emperor acquired the dragon’s blood and essence. Then, he gave the Dragon Essence to Kaiden.Kaiden recovered, and his strength increased to a greater extent. He had already broken two shackles and was only one step away from becoming a Supernatural.“Grandpa.”Kaiden’s grandson, Sergio, walked over and said, “Ten minutes is almost up, but the Void Sect hasn’t left yet. Shall we go up there?”“Kill them,” Kaiden ordered.The Blood Race’s members drew their swords instantly.This time, the entire Blood Race was dispatched. The Blood Race
Although Tyrus was looking forward to it, James was not. On the contrary, he hoped that day would never arrive.In the distance, the battle carried on.The Void Sect’s members were formidable.Even the weakest was at the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair’s peak.However, the Blood Race was much stronger.They had quite a few ninth-ranked grandmasters. Moreover, Kaiden had broken free from two shackles. The Void Sect was losing ground and gradually retreated. Just when the Void Sect was about to be defeated, the elderly man appeared.He had consumed a mysterious pill.The pill was refined from Empyrean herbs and contained powerful energy. It allowed the elderly man, Wilbert Waalfort, to break through the third shackle. He was now one step away from becoming a Supernatural.James watched the battle from the mountain foot.Wilbert of the Void Sect immediately displayed his strength and sent all the Blood Race’s powerhouses down the mountain.He did not deal lethal damage to them s
James advanced but was knocked back a few steps after bumping into something.He was puzzled.Looking ahead, it was completely pitch black, and there was nothing. However, he could vaguely see the path in front of him. There were old tree roots and black mist oozing out from the gaps in the ground.The surrounding was tranquil, but the environment felt strange and terrifying.James stood rooted in place for a few seconds.Then, he continued to step forward.Once again, he bumped into something.He reached out his hands and felt for something ahead of him.The path in front of him was blocked by what seemed to be an invisible wall.He tried advancing from a different angle, but the results were the same. He was still unable to go any further.“That’s strange.”James was perplexed.Ah-woo!In the distance, an unidentified beast hidden in the dark howled again.Although James was a ninth-ranked grandmaster, his eardrums felt numb from the deafening howls.In the darkness, t
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
