At that moment, these women looked at James in fright.“Haah.” James took a deep breath and chose his actions carefully.He had been away for two years and was uncertain what kind of powerhouses had appeared on earth recently. He was unsure whether he could completely fight off these Outsiders with his current strength.However, he heard the Omniscient Deity being mentioned.James forcibly suppressed his anger and asked, “You mentioned the Omniscient Deity from Earth. Is he strong?”“Why? Have you not heard of him? Oh! You must be new, right?”James nodded and said, “Mhm. I just recently entered Earth and don’t know much about this world.”“I knew it.”In an effort to sell his goods, the fat man eagerly explained things to James, “The Omniscient Deity is Earth’s strongest martial artist. He’s a Herculean in terms of rank, and there are rumors that he’s reached the Third Layer of the rank since he defeated a Herculean Second Layer in the past.”Hearing this, James asked calmly,
“Young man, I don’t know who you are, but this is Hazted City. Anyone who steps into this city must follow our rules. Men, detain this guy. He shall be locked up for thirty years.” The guard’s captain snorted snidely.The guards immediately surrounded James and were about to make their move.Suddenly, James’ body vanished and reappeared ten meters away from where they closed in on him.“Huh?” The guard’s captain was blindsided.James’ movements were too fast for him to see clearly. Before he could catch a glimpse of the action, James had already escaped from them.“That man must die right here.”James pointed at the fat man behind the guard’s captain.Since he had returned, James wanted to display his strength and warn the Outsiders that those who coerce Earth’s inhabitants will have to pay a heavy price.The captain stared at James.James was powerful. He was way stronger than they initially expected. However, they stood in Hazted City. As the captain of the guards, his duty
Everyone’s faces paled after watching James kill the fat man.The women imprisoned in the cage watched aghast. They were unaware of what was happening and did not know the identity of the man standing up for them.Meanwhile, the captain of the guards bore a frightening expression.“You’re going to die, b*stard.”Despite what he saw, he remained unfazed by James.He was standing in Hazted City which belonged to Tristen.The city appeared out of the blue one year ago.The Outsiders fought fiercely for dominion over the city. Ultimately, Tristen emerged victorious and successfully conquered the city, naming it Hazted City.James ignored the captain.He walked toward the cage and opened it.Although the three women in the cage were unkempt, their beauty was still plainly obvious to see. These three women would definitely be the most popular women in whichever school they went to.After James opened the cage, he tried his best to show that he bore them no ill will. He smiled gent
The grievance between the Son of Heaven and James was not particularly significant. James merely manipulated him into taking a blow which caused him severe injuries. He had long wanted to wring James’ neck.Unfortunately, James vanished after he left the Celestial Abode.Now that James had shown up and was acting insolently in Hazted City, he had to take action as the Deputy City Lord.He gave an order, and his subordinate, Leandro, stepped forward.The three female college students stood behind James with fearful expressions.James stared at Leandro who was approaching him. Two years ago, Leandro had severely injured him on Mount Bane. This led James to have bad impressions of the Outsiders.“What? Aren’t you going to fight me?”He stared at Leandro calmly and showed no fear.Leandro came over and stood in front of James. With a look of contempt, he said, “You’re rather talented, James. If you kneel today and apologize to my master, he’ll ask the City Lord to pardon you. Aft
To the Outsiders, Earthlings were sinners and deserved to die. Although the Outsiders regarded the earthlings as lesser beings, they never thought of genocide.This was because there was still a staunch defender among the earthlings—the Omniscient Deity.Even though he was slightly weaker compared to Tristen and the others, he was not a simple pushover.Veins popped on James’ forehead when he heard the threat to eradicate cities. He looked at the Son of Heaven, who was already walking away, and clenched his fist. “Go ahead if you have the guts, Son of Heaven. I’ll get rid of you before you can even wipe out even a single person.”James spoke calmly, but there was no humor in his tone. He was ready to kill if the Son of Heaven insisted on eradicating cities.“Let’s go.”James did not stick around in Hazted City and left with the three college students. He escorted them out of Mount Bane’s range and led them to a city.Outside the city, James looked at the three exhausted women an
James appeared on the mountaintop and looked at the city surrounded by a celestial aura in the distance. His desire to possess the Celestial Abode only firmed up in his eart.There were many people on the mountaintop.He ignored them and descended to the mountain’s base.Soon, he reached the first barrier. James thought he would have to challenge the barriers again from the beginning if he wanted to reach the ninth barrier. Fortunately, the golem on the first barrier did not attack him.James was overjoyed. This saved him a lot of time since he did not need to pass through the barriers again. He continued advancing and found that his path was largely unimpeded. Soon, he reached the base of the mountain and found himself outside the city entrance.When he appeared at the city entrance, his body was lifted into the air and transported directly into the city center. Then, he gained his footing firmly on the ground.He looked at the altar before him and the crystal floating on it.
The woman in the white dress was excited. After so many years, she finally met a worthy opponent. She stopped restraining her strength and used the full strength of the peak of the Eighth Inner Gate.Her dress and long hair fluttered in the air as oppressive energy emanated from her.With a flash, she charged at James and thrust her palm forward. Powerful Palm Energy rushed forward, causing the surrounding space to distort.Her attack was enough to injure even a regular Herculean martial artist.However, James was not afraid of her palm attack. He did not retreat. Instead, he charged forward and met her attack head-on.Rumble!!!As their True Energies intertwined, the surroundings began to warp.The aftermath of the collision swept across the arena.The two fought in an open area. The woman boasted insane speed, and her movements were unpredictable and mysterious.Even though James had strong True Energy, his attacks were deflected easily. In just a short moment, the two had e
It was only their first exchange of blows using their swords, yet already James’ long sword had been knocked away.After the woman disarmed James, she charged at him at lightning speed. Her long sword pressed against James’ chest, but she did not push it in to stab him. Then, she looked at James with a smirk.“You lost.”“I… lost?”James was stunned.He did not expect to lose so easily.After two years of rigorous training, how could he still lose so easily?“Not yet.”At that moment, James seized the opportunity and raised his hand. Suddenly, two completely different True Energies materialized in his palm.The True Energies merged instantly and formed a brand new force, bursting out suddenly.The whole process took only less than a second.The woman was not expecting James to continue fighting her. Truthfully, she was completely capable of dodging the attack, but she received a message from the Spirit Tool at that critical moment.This led her to not dodge the attack and blo
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
