James was indeed taken aback by the fact that Marcello was a woman. When he first saw her, he was already captivated by her gorgeous looks. Right then, he remembered asking himself how on earth could there be such a beautiful man. However, he did not delve into the matter. At the moment, he was merely shocked knowing that she was a woman. Regardless, gender did not matter to him now. The only person who could help him out was Marcello. Marcello asked smilingly, “Is something the matter?” Then, she made a beckoning gesture and said, “Let’s move elsewhere, shall we?” Then, she walked straight forward, while James followed close behind. Under her guidance, they proceeded deeper into Bane City and arrived at a majestic-looking residence. Bane City was currently a no man’s land. Following the Outsiders’s arrival, almost everyone gathered in Bane City. As such, it was difficult to obtain a private residence there. Owning a private residence was not only just a symbol of prestige bu
The power disparity between him and Jace was simply too big. At the moment, he was only at the Herculean rank. Above the Herculean rank was the Immortal Ascension rank, which had nine stairs to ascend. To reach the Mage Rank, one would have to ascend all nine stairs of the Immortal Ascension rank. James’ rank was simply far too weak. Marcello smiled and said, “Actually, you’re pretty strong too. You haven’t really cultivated much, whereas Jace, on the other hand, has been cultivating since young. Besides, he has a top-notch master offering him guidance.” James put his thoughts aside. Marcello asked, “By the way, why have you come looking for me?” James said, “Here’s the case. Earth is plunged into a crisis because of the natural catastrophe brought about by the First Calamity, and we are currently running low on food reserves. Based on my calculations, Earth would require at least ten years before turning into a cultivation world. “Before that, we need to acquire sufficie
James knew that Marcello would certainly have a way around things, and he was right. After receiving the priceless Netherpearl of the Demonic Race, he left Bane City. Now, he needed to head to the Sealed Realms immediately and secure sufficient food supplies so that the humans on Earth can survive. He entered a pristine forest nearby Mount Bane and stood on a tree a hundred meters high, gazing at the sky. The fissure in the sky was still there. James knew that this was the passage to the Sealed Realms. Once he passed through the fissure, he would enter the Sealed Realms. “I wonder what the Sealed Realms would look like.” He was intrigued. Holding the Netherpearl in his hand, he summoned Demonic Energy and imbued them within the pearl. At that moment, the pearl turned black, and he could feel a sense of connection with it. The Netherpearl was like a high-end mobile gadget, on which he could see many functions. There was also random information recorded inside the pearl.
The night descended upon the Land of Tabal as stars illuminated the pitch-black sky. After James left the canyon, he entered a pristine forest. As he was not in a hurry at the moment, he stopped and made a bonfire before taking a rest. As he knew little about this world, he decided against finding his way in the dark and planned to make his next course of action tomorrow morning. In the forest, he hunted an animal and roasted the meat on the bonfire. The smell of meat was mouth-watering. Looking at the meat before him, James licked his lips in delight. After taking a sniff, he took a bite of the roasted meat. Immediately, the captivating smell of meat filled the air. Just as he was in the midst of having his meal… Clank! The sound of fighting could be heard in the distance. Then, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Immediately, furrowing his eyebrows, James appeared on a tree in the blink of an eye and scanned his surroundings. Then, he saw a fierce battle taking
James had been watching from the large tree for some time.The cultivators in black robes were not particularly powerful. Judging by their aura, they were only at the Seventh or Eighth Inner Gate. If he faced someone of this caliber, he was more than capable of killing them.That was why he dared to reveal himself.He stood in front of several guards, looking at the person dressed in a black robe and wearing a red mask, and said casually, “You’re trying to every single one of them. That’s too cruel, don’t you think?”“This is a matter concerning the Dark Keep. Do you want to be an enemy of the Dark Keep?” the cultivator in the red mask spoke again.He could not tell how strong James was, so he mentioned the regiment he was a part of in the hopes of intimidating James. He was, however, mistaken. James was not from this world at all, but rather from Earth outside of it. He had never heard of the so-called Dark Keep.James smiled faintly and said, “I don’t give a damn about some ‘ke
James crouched down, looked at her, and said, “It’s probably a very dreadful kind of poison. If it’s not removed quickly, you could die very soon. If you trust me, I can save you.”Laelia’s face was stricken with pain. She was being hunted, and the guards who were with her were all killed in the battle. She had no one to turn to now. Right now, the only person she could rely on was James, a complete stranger to her.She nodded softly.After getting her permission, James took her hand and placed his hand around her pulse. He then smiled and said, “It’s quite simple to get rid of the poison.”James’ body was unique. He had the ability to absorb any force and transform it into his own energy. The poison in Laelia’s body was highly toxic to her, but to James, it was nothing.Holding Laelia’s hand, he used his True Energy to forcibly absorb the poison in her body into his own.When this highly toxic poison entered his body, it was quickly refined and turned into his body’s Demonic E
James explained why he came here.He knew this beautiful woman in front of him was the princess of the most powerful country in this land. If he could enlist the princess’ help, he would have a good chance of acquiring food.When Laelia learned of James’ motivation for coming to the Land of Tabal, she was a little taken aback.‘Is the situation in the outside world really that bad that people are actually worried about food?’She gave James a strange look.James had no idea why Laelia was looking at him strangely. He touched his nose and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”Laelia asked, “Is the outside world so impoverished that you even have to worry about food?”James had no knowledge of the situation in the Land of Tabal. He also had no idea how this world operated. He gave a general overview of the situation on Earth. After listening to him, Laelia understood.“I see. So Earth is less developed than the Land of Tabal. To my understanding, the Land of Tabal’s sta
‘What’s the treasure, exactly?‘It’s surprising that it’s actually related to the seal.’He looked at Laelia, who was sitting on a rock, and asked with a smile, “Princess Laelia, what exactly is your family’s treasure? When the seal became loose, why did your family’s treasure become unusual? Does that have anything to do with the seal?”Laelia shook her head absent-mindedly. She knew little about the treasure that had been passed down through her family.“What’s the treasure, then? Can you let me take a look at it?”“That’s…”Laelia was hesitant. It was a treasure that had been handed down through her family. How could she simply show it to a stranger?“If you’re bothered, forget about it. I’m just curious.”When he saw Laelia’s unenthusiastic face, James waved his hand slightly and did not say anything more.Laelia looked at James and began to ponder. James had saved her. Furthermore, he was very powerful. He was confident in his ability to destroy the Dark Keep.If such
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
