“What should I do?” James panicked. He had to stand now. However, he was powerless to do anything. He could only lie on the ground motionless and gasp for breath. His body had suffered both external and internal injuries, and his meridians were already destroyed. He tried catalyzing True Energy. Time and again, he catalyzed the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi. However, his body was completely empty inside, and not a single trace of True Essence remained. Then, a thread of Demonic Energy materialized in his body. Seizing the window of opportunity, he catalyzed the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi and forcibly absorbed the Demonic Energy, transforming them into True Energy. Meanwhile, Lucifer was walking toward James one step at a time. With every step he took, he staggered. However, he did not collapse to the ground. Regardless, it took him ten minutes to traverse a short distance. Ten minutes later, he arrived two meters away from James. Looking at James whose life was hanging b
The two simply laughed. Lucifer laughed as he believed himself to be invincible within his rank. Wielding his father’s Imperial Weapon, he falsely believed that he could defeat anyone. Now, however, he was defeated by a man whose rank was considerably weaker than his. He was pleased to have such a powerful rival. Besides, James’ body was reshaped by his father’s physical body. James laughed because humans could live in peace from now on. “James?” Quincy walked over to James, who had a silly grin on his face, and tried helping him up. James waved slightly, saying, “Let me rest.” “Understood.” Quincy retreated. Some beasts also tried helping Lucifer up but were stopped by him. The humans and beasts simply stood there and watched. Not too far away, Yuvaan was furrowing his eyebrows. As James was currently at his weakest, this was the perfect opportunity to capture him. Otherwise, once James’ injuries recovered, he would be in deep trouble. Besides, James had the Infini
James accepted the elixir. As he consumed the elixir, a warm current circulated throughout his body, rejuvenating his gravely injured body and restoring his True Essence and Demonic Energy that had been depleted. Lucifer, too, consumed an elixir and healed his injuries. About thirty minutes later, the two stood up at the same time. Lucifer looked at James and praised him. “I underestimated you, James. Your strength far exceeded my expectations. If I had known the outcome of this battle, I wouldn’t have given you a month to achieve so many breakthroughs. “However, the ultimate providence on Earth has yet to appear. So, I’ll be in closed-door meditation for the time being. I hope you won’t disappoint me by then.” As he said that, he turned to leave, while a horde of beasts followed close behind. James breathed a sigh of relief. This was a hard-won battle. He had performed almost every technique and cultivation method, except for one. If Lucifer refused to concede defeat, he
There were some accounts to settle. Sophie had created a Magic Circle after gaining insight into the Infinity Steles. Meanwhile, James was able to catalyze the Magic Circle formed by the Infinity Steles. The Magic Circle possessed devastating strength and could annihilate all that stood in its path. However, there were still many threats remaining on Earth, and Yuvaan Zymir was one of them. Yuvaan of the Divinity Sect was like a ticking time bomb. That was why James had to annihilate him as soon as possible. “We’ll return to Wyrmstead first.” James said. Then, they returned to Wyrmstead. Many core cultivators of Earth gathered at the main hall of Wyrmstead Palace. However, they were weak. The strongest among them were the Omniscient Deity and Langston. The others were simply too insignificant to be considered a force to be reckoned with. “James, you have contributed significantly to the safety of all of humanity. If not for you, the beast army would have invaded us, cau
As he said that, he turned to leave and headed toward the palace’s courtyard. Then, he entered a room and entered the Celestial Abode. In the courtyard of the Celestial Abode, Sophie, who was wearing a white dress, sat beside James. Her features were fine and delicate, and her appearance was glamorous. Wearing a satisfied smile on her face, she said, “Congratulations on winning the battle and resolving the Second Calamity. The humans on Earth may live in relative safety for the time being.” James smiled bitterly. He considered himself fortunate to be able to defeat Lucifer, whose strength was comparable to his. “By the way…” Upon being reminded of something, James asked, “Sophie, can I defeat a Sage using the Infinity Steles’ Magic Circle?” Sophie nodded slightly and said, “Of course, the Magic Circle formed by the one hundred and eight Infinity Steles is incredibly powerful. Besides, the stronger you are, the more terrifying the Magic Circle’s power. However, as you have only
As James had been out and about all these years, he did not know that his daughter was a Grand Supernatural. “I don’t know what my Supernatural Power is.” Winnie shook her head. Then, she jumped out of James’ embrace and catalyzed True Energy, forming a scythe. The scythe was black in color, and ancient inscriptions were circulating inside the scythe. Winnie waved the black scythe and smiled, revealing her dimples. “As my True Energy increased, this thing suddenly appeared in my body. I don’t know what it is either.” James stared at the scythe. He had no idea what it was. “Winnie, follow me to the Celestial Abode.” Perhaps Sophie would know. Then, James brought Winnie and Callan into the Celestial Abode. In the City Lord’s Mansion, Sophie’s expression turned grim upon seeing the black scythe in Winnie’s hand. James asked, “Sophie, do you know what this is?” Sophie did not answer him. Pensive, she furrowed her eyebrows. About a minute later… “The Scythe of
“In essence, those who possess the Scythe of Judgment are a walking Heavenly Path and are capable of passing judgment on every living being on its behalf. Legend has it that the Scythe of Judgment was born out of the Heavenly Path and was formed by the Law of Heaven.” Hearing this, James was dumbfounded. “What? Winnie’s scythe is that impressive?” He was stunned. The Scythe of Judgment passed judgment on everything on behalf of the Heavenly Path. What power was this? “Indeed.” Sophie nodded and said, “In the records of ancient texts left behind by Emperor Jabari, Heaven’s Adjudicators once existed in ancient times. They were merciless robots who passed judgment on all living beings who transgressed the Law of Heaven on behalf of the Heavenly Path. “However, later on, the humans did something that completely rebelled against the Heavenly Path. From that day onward, Heaven’s Adjudicators vanished without a trace, and the seals that Heaven placed inside the bodies of all hum
James never thought that his own daughter would be chosen by the Heavenly Path and wield the Scythe of Judgment. Now, he had a rough idea of what the Scythe of Judgment was. It was rather similar to the Blade of Justice, which was capable of passing judgment on all who had committed crimes and violated Solean law. Winnie, on the other hand, passed judgment on those who transgressed the Heavenly Path. However, how did one transgress the Heavenly Path? He had no idea at all. After all, his current strength was far too weak to reach the point of understanding it. “A bright era is upon us. Likewise, the darkest age in history has arrived.” Wearing a solemn expression, Sophie furrowed her eyebrows and said slowly, “In the era when there were still Heaven’s Adjudicators, there were countless Grand Emperors. I believe that after a period of time when these geniuses grow up and reach the Grand Emperor Rank, the world will descend into chaos.” As this was too distant from James at the m
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
