Upon Farley’s appearance, James breathed a sigh of relief. That was because Marquis was so strong that everyone here was no match for him even when they combined their strength. There was only one who could stand a chance against him, and that was Farley Gideon whose strength had returned to its peak. James did not linger for long and turned to leave. Marquis stepped forward and tried to seize James. However, Farley’s speed was extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the door of the main hall and blocked his path. Wearing a composed look on his face, he said coldly, “We couldn’t fight to our heart’s content the last time we fought. Allow me to test the strength of your Curse Magic once more.” Then, a powerful aura burst forth from within. At that moment, James had rushed out of the main hall. Then, he heard the deafening blasts of explosions behind him. The moment Farley and Marquis fought, the main hall was instantly destroyed. Afraid of staying for anoth
That was because he could not intervene in the battle between superpowers. With the headmaster’s assistance, he hurriedly left. Soon, he arrived outside the Divinity Sect. However, the entire place was surrounded by a group of men in black robes. Standing in mid-air was the Demon Race’s Protector James had encountered at Mount Walvern. “I can’t leave now…” James’ face paled. There was nowhere else for him to run. He returned to the Divinity Sect once more. However, a fierce battle had broken out. The Divinity Sect’s Patriarch had joined forces with Marquis Tenzin to fight against the other cultivators. Mount Divinity disintegrated. The battle aura was so overwhelming that even James’ blood ran cold. He did not dare wander about. After diving into a pile of rubble, he entered the Celestial Abode, which gradually shrank until it was the size of a grain of sand hidden deep beneath the rubble. At the same time, many cultivators were gathered inside the Celestial Abode. They
As for the fate of everyone outside, James could not care less. He was not a savior. As for these cultivators here, he only saved them incidentally within the range of his abilities. As this was the Celestial Abode, James disappeared and reappear in the City Lord’s Mansion in the blink of an eye. “James!” Quintina stomped her feet. Meanwhile, Henry and Delainey were in the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion. Though the two entered the Celestial Abode, they had no idea what had happened. James walked in. Immediately, Delainey stood up and asked, “What’s wrong, James? What happened outside?” James narrated the chain of events that unfolded. Hearing this, they finally understood. James said, “The Ancient Realm is in chaos, and there’s a high possibility that this place might be conquered by the Demon Race. Meanwhile, my identity has been exposed, and the Demon Race wishes to exterminate me. I can’t stay here any longer. Once the battle outside dies down, I’ll find an opp
The Protector had informed the Demon Race of this matter using arcane art. However, the Demon Race was divided into many clans. The strongest among them was the Hadean Clan, whereas the clan Marcello was in was the Azurean Clan. Since James swaggered around using the Azurean Clan’s token in front of the Hadean Clan, he would have to pay for this insult. “Find him even if you have to comb through every nook and canny of the rubble.” Then, many began searching around for James. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not find him. Both the Protector and Marquis knew that James must be here somewhere. So, they stood in mid-air and performed terrifying arcane arts, bombarding the area relentlessly for ten days before stopping. Meanwhile, James was sipping wine in the Celestial Abode. Sensing that the bombardment outside had died down, he smiled faintly and said, “Looks like the Demon Race is out of patience.” Henry asked, “When will they leave then?” Holding the
James believed this to be a likely scenario. That was because Lucifer told him that it was only with his father’s acknowledgment that James’ soul managed to merge flawlessly with his physical body. So, there was no way Lucifer wanted to go after his life. This made the Protector and Marquis the prime suspects. However, this no longer had anything to do with James. Now that the Ancient Realm was about to be overrun by the Demon Race, he would not remain here any longer. In fact, staying here was much more dangerous than returning to Earth. James headed to the mountain outside the city. There, tens of thousands of cultivators gathered. There were originally 100,000 of them, but many perished at Mount Walvern, and some were implicated in the battle at the Divinity Sect. So, only approximately 50,000 of them remained. Seeing James approach them, they stood up. James arrived at the mountain’s peak and looked at them, narrating the chain of events that unfolded. “This is basicall
He no longer cared about revealing the secret of the Infinity Steles. Besides, even if word spreads, he was no longer afraid of anything. Once he returned to Earth, there would be no superpowers there. With his strength, he could easily fight against the cultivators of the Three-Thousand Worlds. “Y-You…?!” Quintina was stunned. As the daughter of the greatest figure in the Ancient Realm, she knew that the Four Calamities would appear on Earth, with each followed by a providence. She was shocked. She never expected that the man before him would be the one who obtained the First Calamity’s providence on Earth. “No wonder you’re this impressive…” She murmured. James’ strength was simply unbelievable. When he first arrived at the Ancient Realm, he was weak and insignificant. However, before long, he was able to withstand Hayden Salvatore’s moves. Then, not even Harold at his full strength could scratch him. This cultivation speed was simply unimaginable for her. Even though she
James appeared at the Divinity Sect, which had been reduced to a pile of rubble. Then, the Celestial Abode returned to being a ring on his finger once more. As he was worried that the Demon Race had not left, he scanned his surroundings carefully and proceeded with caution. As expected, there was a group of men in black robes stationed outside the rubble. He changed directions. However, no matter where he went, he realized that the entire place had been surrounded by the Demon Race. He had no way out. The Protector must have determined that he had remained hidden in the rubble. However, they could not find him after such a long time. That was why they simply cordoned off the area. “What should I do?” Pensive, James sat on the ground below a huge rock. At that moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Some members of the Demon Race were patrolling the area. James suppressed his aura and concealed himself. The moment he appeared, he would be relentlessly pursued by
The energy enveloped him, and he disappeared without a trace. James could feel his vision blur. When he reappeared, he had arrived at an unknown place. The pile of rubble had vanished, only to be replaced by picturesque scenery. Looking at the mountains and rivers before him, James breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, “Finally, I’ve left the Divinity Sect. Now that so much time has passed, I wonder if the Demon Race has made a move against the Welkin Academy and the Ancient Clan.” “Hmm… I wonder how Melany is doing at the Welkin Academy…” At that moment, he thought of Melany, the woman who saved him when he first arrived at the Ancient Realm. He planned to head over to the Welkin Academy for now to have a look. Then, he hurriedly left and headed in the direction of the Welkin Academy. He traveled for a few days. After completely leaving the region of the Divinity Sect, he opened the Celestial Abode and released everyone inside. “You are safe now. Return to wherever y
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
