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.
At that moment, Zaid stepped forward and said smilingly, “Sect Elder Zaydon, my daughter has no wish to marry at the moment. Why don’t we postpone this matter for now? Maybe my daughter will come to her senses in the future.” Since the Zaydons were the leader among the three great families of Kineallen City, the Yanis did not wish to provoke them unnecessarily. “Melany, you are destined to be mine.” Justin looked at Melany with a ravenous look on his face and said, “Soon, you will come to the Zaydens’ household and beg me to marry you.” Then, he turned to leave. The Zaydons’ Sect Elder glared at Zaid and smirked. “Ungrateful wretch!” After he spoke, he turned to leave. Once they left, Zaid sighed dejectedly and said, “Melany, you shouldn’t have turned down their offer. You should understand what kind of situation we’re in at the moment. After suckering up with the Divinity Sect, the Zaydons have grown ever more abrasive and arrogant. No one dares challenge them in Kineallen
Melany Yanis was widely regarded as the most beautiful woman in Kineallen City, not to mention the most kind-hearted. She would never throw tantrums, and she acted with kindness toward everyone, no matter their status or wealth. She saved James because she did not want him to die in the wilderness. “I don’t know who you are nor where you came from. In any case, I won’t be able to take care of you. Before I leave, I’ll make the necessary arrangements.” Melany had constructed a shelter in Kineallen City where she would bring the people she saved after their injuries had healed. Just as Melany was murmuring to herself, James suddenly asked, “Was it you who saved my life?” “…” She was stunned. “Y-You can speak?” “Of course.” James said, “I only couldn’t speak sooner because my injuries were too grave. By the way, where is this place?” Over the past month, James had been slipping in and out of consciousness. He had no idea where he landed after leaving Earth. “This is the
Back when he was still gravely injured, he could not even turn his head. As such, he was not able to take a glimpse of his savior. “Miss, may I know who your lady is? By the way, where did she go?” “She’s called Melany Yanis, and she has gone to Doncaster City, the core city of Doncaster since the Welkin Academy is currently admitting new disciples. Ms. Melany wants to join the academy,” the woman answered. Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows. The Welkin Academy? What the hell was that? He asked, “What’s the Welkin Academy?” The woman suppressed a snicker and said, “You aren’t a cultivator I guess, or you would have heard about the Welkin Academy.” James simply smiled and said nothing. The woman explained, “There are a few influential forces in the Ancient Realm, primarily the Sect, the Academy, and the Clan.” James asked puzzledly, “What do you mean?” The woman said, “The Sect refers to the Divinity Sect.” Hearing this, James took a deep breath. Though he k
Though his physical strength was at the Immortal Ascension’s First Stair, his rank had not increased. In fact, he was only at the Herculean Fifth Layer. After fighting against the beast to evaluate his current strength, James hurriedly made his way over to Doncaster City. For the next three days, James was on the move. Three days later, he arrived at his destination. As he left the mountain range, a huge city a thousand years old appeared before him. Its walls were hundreds of meters high, and they were constructed from grey granite. Outside the walls, there were many armor-clad guards armed with swords garrisoned. The words ‘Doncaster City’ were carved onto the city gate. As James gazed at the city before him, he murmured, “This should be Doncaster City, the core city of Doncaster. I wonder if the Welkin Academy is still admitting disciples. I hope I can make it.” James had nowhere to go in this foreign land. Since the Welkin Academy was the strongest in the Ancient Real
The only people he was worried about were his family. If he knew this was going to happen, he would have brought them into the Celestial Abode and cultivated in there. “I know that they will be fine,” James said anxiously. Before his trial, Cody had promised he would protect Thea. Not only that, but he also had Marcello’s assistance. As a member of the Demon Race, not to mention that James had a close relationship with her, Marcello would not sit idly by as Yuvaan slaughtered his family. Thinking about this, James took a deep breath. He changed the topic and asked, “By the way, what rank are you at now?” Henry smiled smugly and said, “I’ve been cultivating in the Time Chamber all this while, so I’ve already reached the Eighth Inner Gate of the Supernatural rank. Soon, I’ll be a Herculean!” “Mhm.” James nodded. With the Time Chamber, Henry and the others should be able to increase their strength drastically in a short period of time. “What about the four-hundred-thousand
James had no idea what the Three-Thousand Cultivations Arts were. Regardless, since Sophie wanted to have a glimpse at them, James did not stop her. “Sure thing,” James said nonchalantly. Hearing this, the Spirit Tool furrowed his eyebrows. “James, are you playing dumb or what? Do you have any idea how powerful the Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts are? Do you know that the late Emperor Jabari went to great lengths to acquire them?” James said nonchalantly, “Well, taking a look at them won’t hurt, right?” “I love you so much, James!” Wearing a bright smile, Sophie turned and left. James could not care less. He would not lose anything by allowing her to have a look at them. The Spirit Tool said nothing and left. James remained inside the Celestial Abode for the whole day. The next morning, he left the Celestial Abode, walked out of the forest, and headed toward Doncaster City. By the time he arrived, there was already a crowd gathered by the city gate. They were all geni
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
