There were only six years when the Earth could be at peace. James did not want these Overworld Outsiders to wreak havoc in these six years.However, he was not confident in completely eliminating the Overworld Outsiders.After a brief discussion, James left Wyrmstead Palace.“James.”Delainey followed him outside and said, “Three years ago, your residence was demolished. I kept the purple fruit you stored in your safe.”Three years ago, James had acquired a mysterious purple fruit.However, he was refining the Phoenix Essence and did not consume the fruit back then.He never had the chance to consume it.James said, “Go get it for me.”“Mhm, alright. Wait for me.” Delainey left.In about ten minutes, she returned with a purple fruit in her hand. Even after three years, the fruit was still crystal clear.James took the purple fruit and headed to Mt. Thunder Pass.The primary forest was within Wyrmstead’s territory.Construction had begun in other places, but this area was
A significant amount of Empyrean Spiritual Energy entered his body and was refined into the purest True Energy.His body changed, and his cultivation speed accelerated.The speed at which he absorbed Empyrean Spiritual Energy was ten times or even a hundred times faster than he previously could. His True Energy grew continuously.Time passed by silently.James had cultivated on Mt. Thunder Pass for half a month in the blink of an eye.Half a month later, he sensed that his True Energy could no longer improve and knew he had reached the realm barrier.An invisible barrier appeared above his head.The barrier restricted his cultivation base and True Energy from improving further.“Break!”James gathered the True Energy from his entire body and slammed his fist into the barrier.His current strength was tremendous and had exceeded his rank. With just one full-strength attack, the realm barrier was shattered instantly.The moment it broke, James felt like he had entered a myst
After James became a Supernatural, he left Mt. Thunder Pass and returned to Wyrmstead Palace.As soon as he returned, Delainey showed up.“Did you have any breakthroughs, James? You’re out pretty early.”James nodded slightly and said, “Mhm. I’ve already advanced to a Supernatural.”“Huh?” Delainey was shocked.“Y-You’re only a Supernatural?”James nodded and asked, “Yeah, what’s wrong?”“B-But you killed a Supernatural powerhouse that had unlocked the Fourth Inner Gate.” Delainey was shocked and could not believe James had only just become a Supernatural.If James’ words were true, it meant he was not a Supernatural when he first returned. Then, how could he kill a Supernatural that had unlocked the Fourth Inner Gate when he was not even a Supernatural?James smiled and did not explain his resurrection.“Let’s not talk about this. I plan to head to Lothian to see Winnie. Then, I’ll clean up those Overworld Outsiders. Could you help me sort out a document with all the powerfu
Delainey murmured and did not say anything more.The plane soared through the sky quickly and soon landed in Lothian.Lothian was a country established by the Prince of Orchid Mountain.The country was also run by an absolute autocracy where the emperor had full control.After the two alighted the plane, they headed directly to the Lothian Palace.When they reached the palace gates, Lothian guards barricaded their path.“State your identities. The palace is off-limits to outsiders.”Delainey stood up and said, “I’m Delainey from Wyrmstead. I’ve got an important matter to discuss with His Majesty.”The guard looked at Delainey and said, “Wait here. I’ll go and report your visit.”The two waited patiently at the palace gates.At that moment, Langston was lying feebly in bed inside a room in the Lothian Palace’s backyard. His face was pale, and he was breathing very weakly.Tyrus mobilized his True Energy to treat Langston’s injuries.After a while, he stopped.“Father.”Tyr
Tyrus was thrilled.Three years ago, he had rushed to Floret Palace after learning that James had died in the battle.However, Floret Palace was already reduced to rubble when he arrived.He sent people to excavate the ruins but only found James’ weapon after his death—the Primordial Dragon Blade and Crucifier. His body was nowhere to be found.Therefore, he concluded that James was dead.In fact, the whole world's martial artists believed James to be dead, not just him.He never expected James to show up in front of him alive after three years.James asked, “Uncle, how’s Winnie? I came to see her.” Tyrus said, “Winnie is already in kindergarten now. She’s in Lothian Royal Kindergarten, and there are still two more hours until school ends.”Hearing this, James sighed in relief.“By the way, I heard that grandfather was injured six months ago and hasn’t recovered. How is he right now?”“Huff,” Tryrus sighed softly.“Father’s situation isn’t looking good. If we don’t find
James pressed on the steel wire's tip, and it instantly disintegrated into needles.Immediately afterward, he picked up the needles and transfused his True Energy into them. The needles became brighter and emanated a golden light.James began to insert the needles.Soon, the treatment with Crucifier was completed.On the other hand, Langston had a relaxed expression on his face.He felt a magical energy rapidly repairing his severely injured body and that his body was recovering rapidly.In less than ten minutes, Langston was cured.James retracted the needles.Langston stood up and stretched his muscles and bones in disbelief. He said, “This is miraculous. It’s amazing! I was dying just now, but now I’m fully recovered. Your treatment is much more effective than any elixirs or tonics.”James looked at Crucifier in his hand.He acquired it a long ago and knew it was an extraordinary item.After his strength improved, he had a new understanding of Crucifier.James concluded
“Don’t be impulsive, James,” Tyrus quickly reminded him.Langston said, “I should go there myself. Xandra must’ve been captured by Overworld cultivators. Our martial artists on Earth are still too weak. They’re no match for the Overworld’s cultivators. We can only compromise for the time being and avoid direct conflict.”He was well aware of the Overworld Outsider’s strength. Over the years, many of them had challenged him, and he got severely injured every time.Not even once did he win against them.Langston was worried that something would happen to James if he went to Mount Silbergh.James looked at Tyrus and Langston, saying, “Uncle, Grandfather, allow me to do it instead. I’m fully capable of resolving these matters now. They’re nothing but some Overworld martial artists. I’ll destroy them if they dare lay hands on my mother.”James had a cold and gloomy expression.“You?” Langston looked at James.James’ complexion relaxed, and he smiled, saying, “I haven’t been idle in
“There’s no need to rush.”A long-haired man wearing blue clothes sat on a rock and said nonchalantly, “We’ve guarded the Sacred Tree for more than six months, but this woman stole it from us. How can I not get it back? If no one returns it to us, we’ll kill her and then head to Lothian.”“She said the Sacred Tree was taken away by her accomplices. She’s Langston’s daughter, and the person who took it must be from Lothian. Wouldn’t it be better for us just to attack Lothian?” Another person advised.The man in a blue robe gently waved his hand. “We’re in no rush and can wait a few more days.”“Understood.” Since their Young Master had said so, the others did not dare insist anymore.These people were from the Overworld and had come to Earth one year ago.When they arrived on Earth, they searched for mutated plants born from Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the deep mountains and forests.As Overworld cultivators, they would not want ordinary things.The Sacred Tree they found in
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
