The Son of Heaven was too powerful.Even though James had constantly compressed his True Energy and had extraordinary physical strength, he was still being suppressed by the Son of Heaven, who was a Second Layer Herculean.“Four Seasons Sword Art, Freezing Snow!”At that moment, a furious growl echoed in the sky.The Son of Heaven was furious.He felt tremendous shame from not killing James after the intense fight had extended for a long time.He unleashed the Four Seasons Sword Art’s last move, which was also the strongest one.Hovering in the sky, his aura changed again. Immediately afterward, he waved his sword in the air, and a gust of cold air swept across, freezing everything in its path.The mountain below him froze instantly.James was slow to react to the attack, and his body was frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant.“It’s time you die, James!”After freezing James, the Son of Heaven charged at him. His long sword was surrounded by white mist, and cold air swe
The Son of Heaven was dead.His sliced body fell to the ground, marking the end of his life.The Son of Heaven had extraordinary prestige in the Overworld.Moreover, he was adopted from birth and taught by the strongest powerhouse in the Overworld. He grew up with a golden spoon and practiced unrivaled sword techniques.With his talent, he would have a bright future if he remained alive.However, he was dead.He tragically died on Earth.Meanwhile, Earth’s martial artists were rejoicing.After being suppressed by the Outsiders for so long, James finally avenged them.“You’re amazing, James!”“James is invincible! You’re the pride of the Earth’s humans!”Following the Son of Heaven’s death, the martial artists who criticized James previously were elated and shouted in joy.In the distance, Tristen and the other Outsiders had grim expressions after witnessing the Son of Heaven’s death. They knew the Son of Heaven’s strength, and even they themselves were not a match against h
With a flash, Tristen appeared in front of James. Before James could react, he was struck by a terrifying force and blasted into the distance. His body slammed into a cliff in the distance.Boom!The cliff collapsed instantly, and James’ body fell into the rubble.Tristen’s attack was horrifyingly powerful.He was at the Herculean’s Sixth Layer and only one step away from reaching the Immortal Ascension.His rank was a few layers higher than the Son of Heaven’s.Thus, his strength was much more substantial than James'.James was powerless against his attacks.After falling into the rubble, he struggled to get up from the ground. He sat on a rock, covered in blood. He glared at Tisten, who was floating in the distance.“Do you have no morals, Tristen? How can you not keep your promise? You clearly agreed to my battle against the Son of Heaven…”Before he could finish speaking, Tristen appeared before him again and landed a strong kick.James was sent flying again, and his bod
The Earth’s martial artists were stunned to see the person who had appeared in the Sky.It was none other than Thea, who had disappeared for many years.Before the seal and the Outsiders appeared on the earth, Thea was not inferior to James and was perhaps even slightly stronger than him.However, James went to live in seclusion for three years. After that, Thea got pregnant and disappeared after giving birth.The Earth’s martial artists almost forgot about her and were surprised to see her appear again.Before she arrived, her voice resounded through the area.“I’ll destroy the families of those who lay their hands on James.”Her tone was domineering.Thea descended from the sky and appeared in front of the Malevolent Sword.Her white dress fluttered in the wind. Her appearance was glamorous, and she radiated an unearthly aura.“Who’s this woman? She’s so beautiful.”“She’s as pretty as a goddess.”The Outsiders were mesmerized by Thea’s beauty.At that moment, James, who
However, she was not afraid.Although she was only at the Herculean’s First Layer, the Four-Quadrant Art she learned was powerful. Once she unleashed it, she would awaken the power of the Four Holy Beasts. Her strength would not just multiply by one fold, it would skyrocket.Seeing Thea’s calm expression, James temporarily put away his worries and retreated from the battlefield.Tristen stood on the battlefield and stared at Thea. He was surprised by the image above her head.At that moment, the energy emanating from her body kept growing stronger.Suddenly, a second illusory image appeared behind her.It was the qilin.After the qilin, the phoenix also appeared.However, the most shocking part was yet to come.Thea’s energy continued to increase.Finally, the dragon also appeared.The images of the Four Holy Beasts surrounded Thea.At that moment, she looked like a god.Suddenly, the Four Holy Beasts’ images disappeared into Thea’s body. Her energy spiked to its limit in
“Ahh!!!”Tristen let out a desolate scream as the sword struck him.His eyes widened in disbelief.Then, his body exploded and completely disappeared, leaving no flesh or bones behind.Hundreds of thousands of martial artists were surrounding the battlefield.Everyone was dumbfounded. All their expressions were almost identical. Shock and terror were written all over their faces as their jaws hung wide open. Each one of them felt a shiver down their spine.The person that died was Tristen, a powerhouse that oppressed countless martial artists to obtain Hazted City. Moreover, he had reached the Herculean’s Sixth Layer and was one step away from the Immortal Ascension rank. Yet, he was killed so easily.Who was this terrifying woman?The Earth’s martial artists were also collectively shocked by the scene.How did Tristen die so easily?After killing Tristen, Thea put away the Malevolent Sword and retracted her True Energy. She gracefully walked through the air with a faint smil
Compared to James killing the Son of Heaven, Thea killing Tristen was a more shocking event.Thea smiled and greeted these people one by one.“Alright, let’s go.”James stood up and said, “After Tristen’s death, I’m sure the Outsiders won’t dare to do anything to the Earth’s humans. However, as time passes, more powerful Outsiders would appear on Earth. We’re going to face a bigger crisis in the future. So everyone should go back and practice hard. The Earth depends on all of you to protect it in the future.”“Mhm, everyone should disperse now.”Thea said, “I’ve been in seclusion for many years, and there are many things I still need to settle.”After speaking, she pulled James and left.Thea and James left Mount Bane under countless gazes.James sat on a rock on a cliff out of Mount Bane’s range, and Thea stood beside him.James talked about all the events that happened in the past few years, including Maxine kidnapping Winnie, him injuring Xain in Floret Palace with his sign
After James chatted briefly with Thea, the two separated for the time being.James headed to Wyrmstead, whereas Thea headed to Lothian to bring Winnie to Sol’s Cansington.He planned to return to Wyrmstead, go through the country’s development, and discuss with Earth’s martial artists how to deal with the Outsiders on Mount Bane and in Hazted City.After finishing these matters, the two would meet up in Cansington.James left Mount Bane.Half a day later, he arrived in Wrymstead.After so many years, Dragonville had developed rapidly and become a modern city. It was enormous and could accommodate at least 300 million people.Additionally, four cities were built around Dragonville.According to the scale, each city could accommodate 100 million people.After James returned to Wrymstead, Delainey from the Mount Thunder Sect also returned.At that moment, many people were gathered in Wyrmstead’s Imperial Palace’s main hall.The palace was built because of Wyrmstead’s autocracy
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
