He knew that the cultivators of Mount Springcastle could help him defuse the crisis. Yet, they remained in the comfort of their homes and simply watched from the sidelines. “Calm down, James. Let’s think of something else.” “How am I supposed to calm down when my family is in danger?!’ James roared. Then, he marched toward Mount Bane with angry steps. If anything happened to his family, he would make the Divinity Sect pay a hefty price. “James, don’t act rashly!” The Omniscient Deity shouted. However, James ignored him and headed in the direction of the Divinity Sect. Soon, he arrived at his destination. At the foot of the mountain, there were many disciples of the Divinity Sect. They all wore ancient robes and wielded swords. “Who’s there?” Upon his appearance, James’ path was blocked. James glared at them. However, even though he was enraged, he suppressed his fury and said, “James Caden.” Hearing that, the disciples roared in laughter. “You’re finally h
James took a deep breath and looked at Thea and Winnie with a smile, saying, “Leave. I’ll be fine.” Thea was no longer the innocent young girl from before. Hence, she did not linger for long. She grabbed Winnie’s hand and turned to leave. “Daddy… Daddy!” However, Winnie called out for James, reluctant to leave. Thea hugged Winnie and looked at the Callahans, saying, “Grandpa, we should leave.” James watched them leave. After they left, James breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Yuvaan, saying coldly, “I’m all yours now. I hope you’ll hold up to your end of the bargain and leave my family alone. Or else, I’ll never forgive you.” “Lock him up!” Yuvaan ordered. Then, James was taken away and imprisoned inside a dark and damp dungeon. At the same time, in Bane City… Marcello and Jace were in the courtyard of the residence they were in. “Jace, I just received news that James has been imprisoned by the Divinity Sect. What should we do now?” Jace smiled fa
As Yuvaan gave his order, a few disciples immediately walked over to James, untied him, and released his acupuncture points. That was because Yuvaan was unafraid of James. Even though James was the greatest fighter on Earth, he was nothing more than an ant in Yuvaan’s eyes. Soon, the material was ready. James wrote the cultivation method of Sacrilegious Ascension and handed it to Yuvaan. Upon scrutinizing it, however, his face darkened. “What is this?” Stunned, he asked, “Is this how you cultivated Sacrilegious Ascension?” James nodded and said, “That’s why I said you won’t be able to cultivate it even if I give it to you.” “Are you playing tricks on me?!” Yuvaan’s expression darkened, and powerful True Energy gathered in his palm. Then, he struck James in the chest, sending him flying and crashing against the wall. James collapsed heavily to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood. Even though James had regained his strength, he did not stand a chance against Yuvaan
James would be able to make his escape easily. After all, although his cultivation base was sealed, he still had tremendous physical strength. Besides, he still had the Celestial Abode too, not to mention Sophie’s presence. She insisted that she would not help him resolve the matter, but she should be able to assist him in escaping. The only thing he was concerned about was that the Divinity Sect would target his family if he escaped. James was in a bind. “James, do you admit to your sins?” a voice boomed. James collected himself and looked at Yuvaan, snickering. “What sins?” Yuvaan admonished him, “As a descendant of sinners, you should be repenting for your sins. Yet you colluded with the Demon Race and cultivated the Demonic Arts.” James questioned, “Where’s the evidence?” “Stop trying to talk your way out of this!” Yuvaan said coldly, “Since you demand evidence, I’ll show you!” Then, he played a few videos that were taken when James fought against Xain and the other
Boom! A flash of lightning struck the stone pillar and then James. When the lightning struck James, he could only feel pain so excruciating that even his soul shivered. Then, he let loose an anguished scream. No one stepped forward to defend James, nor did anyone feel any sympathy toward him. After all, James was an earthling, a descendant of sinners. Their ancestors perished because of the earthlings’ ancestors’ betrayal. After the first flash of lightning struck James, he already suffered grave injuries. However, Demonic Energy immediately circulated throughout his body and healed his injuries. Before he could react, the second flash of lightning struck him. “Argh!” James cried out in anguish. His physical body and even his soul underwent agonizing torture. In the distance, Marcello furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Jace, are we just going to sit here and watch?” Wearing a calm expression, Jace said coldly, “I only need him alive. Besides, I believe he can survive this
James had suffered from being struck by lightning for two weeks now, and his Demonic Energy was utterly depleted. Regardless, as his physical body was extraordinary, he was not turned to ashes by lightning strikes. Rather, it was charred and burned repeatedly. Meanwhile, his soul was severely damaged. However, since had a strong physical body, his soul managed to remain intact. Other cultivators would have died long ago. Yuvaan watched James’ condition intently. To him, James’ fate did not concern him. If he perished, he would simply imprison his soul and seize his physical body. “Haha… His physical body truly is impressive. Others would have died long ago.” Yuvaan was stunned by James’ physical body. His desire to seize it only grew more intense. James’ vision was blurry, and he could feel his life hanging by a thread. ‘Am I going to die?’ That thought sprung to mind. He did not want to die. However, he could not escape because he was afraid of the Divinity Sect’s repris
James’ voice boomed. Then, he entered the seal and disappeared from Mount Bane. “Dammit!” Yuvaan’s face darkened as he cursed, “Who the hell is helping him behind the scenes?” The scene was broadcasted live all over the globe. Upon seeing James escape, Thea breathed a sigh of relief. Before James left, he summoned what remained of his strength and roared. After that, he soon lost consciousness. As he entered the seal, he had no idea where he would end up. After some time, James slowly regained consciousness. He was feeling sluggish. When he tried getting up, an excruciating pain came from inside his body. Then, upon realizing a white curtain before him, he murmured, “Am I dead? Where am I?” “You’re awake.” Just as he was puzzled, a voice spoke. James tried turning his head to see where the voice came from. However, as he was gravely injured, excruciating pain came from inside his body the moment he moved. “Your injuries are severe. You shouldn’t move around,” the vo
After being continuously struck by lightning for two weeks, his physical body suffered terrible injuries, and his soul was damaged. Even though he had rested for a month, his injuries had yet to recover. Now, he had only regained consciousness. However, although his injuries were still visible, his Demonic Energy had been slowly recovering. His recovery speed would gradually increase. James lay on the bed and rested. At the same time, outside the room… “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” A glamorous-looking woman wearing a white dress looked at the chambermaid who was in a hurry and admonished her, “Stop making such a fuss! You’re a servant of the Yanis household!” “My Lady, the Zaydons are here to discuss your engagement!” Hearing this, the woman frowned. This was the Ancient Realm, the most powerful world among the three thousand Sealed Realms. The woman’s name was Melany Yanis, a member of the Yanis household of Kineallen City, which was located inside Doncaster.
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
