With the protective shield cast by countless powerhouses, the Divine Holy Emperor easily crossed over to Earth.After the Divine Holy Emperor successfully passed through the seal, he hovered over the air somewhere on Earth. He looked down at the mountains and rivers of Earth and sensed the extremely powerful Empyrean Spiritual Energy.He spread open his arms and said, “Hark, Earth. I have come.”Immediately afterward, his expression darkened. “James, you b*stard. Your time’s up.”The Divine Holy Emperor’s goal to kill James was actually an idea conceived by the Hadean Clan.He had taken refuge with the Hadean Clan and learned many Demonic Arts, including the Demon Race’s supreme Curse Magic.Although Lucifer favored James, other powerhouses in the Hadean Clan disagreed with his choice. They did not like James and wanted to get rid of him. To add to that, Lucifer was merely the son of a Demon Emperor. Despite being the young master of the Hadean Clan, he did not return to the Demo
Everything was settled, and everyone associated with James had relocated to the Celestial Abode. Only one person chose to stay behind—Quincy.Quincy and James walked side by side in the Imperial Palace’s backyard.James sighed deeply and said, “Thank you, Quincy. You’ve been working really hard and doing a lot for Wrymstead.”Quincy smiled and said, “What I’ve done is nothing compared to you. I don’t have a talent for cultivation and might never become a powerhouse. I’m only doing my best to support you in helping all humanity get through this tumultuous time.”James was relieved to hear Quincy’s virtuous conviction.“Please be careful while running Wrymstead. No matter what happens, your survival is of the utmost importance. Do you hear me?”“Alright, I understand.” Quincy nodded.The two had a simple conversation. After giving Quincy a couple of reminders, James left Wrymstead.He headed to Mount Tai, traveled to the bottom of the mountain ravine, and arrived at the first
The custodian nodded slightly and said, “The demons aren’t an unreasonable bunch. In ancient times, demons invaded the earth to unite the universe. It was done in accordance with the Heavenly Path. The Ten Emperors of Earth learned about Heavenly Path’s rules and took the demons’ side.”James was highly intrigued by the custodian’s description of past events.“Ms. Custodian, why did the demons attack the Earth and why did the Ten Emperors side with the demons?”The custodian shook her head and said, “I’m uncertain of the reasons behind these events. I only know it’s related to the Earth’s ultimate secret and concerns the origin of the earth and the universe. The demons were merely acting in accordance with the Heavenly Path. Even if the demons hadn’t taken action, the universe’s powerhouses would still have died regardless, and the earth would still have been sealed.”“It’s all in accordance with the will of the Heavenly Path.”“The demons were simply upholding the Heavenly Path’s
James had already tied up all his loose ends on Earth.Lucifer promised that the beasts would not attack humans for the next 10,000 years.Unfortunately, his acquisition of the Four Elements of Genesis caught many powerhouses’ attention. Thus, he sent everyone associated with him to the Celestial Abode.Now, he did not have anything to worry about on Earth.As for Thea, the custodian had informed him that she was meditating in seclusion. Although he was unsure where exactly she was, he was reassured knowing the custodian was watching over her.James looked at the beautiful custodian and said, “I’m ready, Ms. Custodian. Please send me to the Demon Realm.“Alright.” The custodian nodded.She led him outside of the Chamber of Scriptures.The custodian stood on the top of the mountain. Her long black hair fluttered in the air as extremely powerful energy flowed out from her body. Then, she made a light hand gesture, and mysterious symbols and inscriptions materialized in her palm.
Sophie and the Chamber of Scriptures’ custodian reassured him that Earth’s Third Calamity would be happening anytime soon. Thus, he had enough time to cultivate. He had to grow stronger in order to avert the impending Third Calamity.James scanned his surroundings again.It was the first time James had come to the Demon Realm, and he knew very little about it. He had no idea about the Demon Realm’s current situation, nor did he know where he was.After looking around for a bit, he chose to dravel in a random direction.It did not take long before he heard a commotion.Boom!Suddenly, a huge explosion went off ahead of him. The ground shook, and the mountain range crumbled to dust instantly.Following the explosion, a terrifying force swept toward him like a tsunami.“What the f*ck?”James sensed the threatening force and backed away in fear.Although he reacted quickly, he still ended up being struck by the force. Wounds covered his body and he instantly turned into a bloodie
Stand at the top of the Seven Realms and become unrivaled throughout the universe?Her few words of encouragement made James’ blood boil with excitement.He was also looking forward to that day.If it were to really happen, he would be free to explore the universe’s ultimate secret with the remainder of his life.“By the way, how big is the Demon Realm, Ms. Sophie?” asked James.Sophie replied with another question, “How big do you think the Earth in its entirety is?”James thought for a while.The earth actually was not that big.However, the majority of the earth’s areas were sealed. There are about 3000 seals, and many Sealed Realms existed beyond these seals.Every Sealed Realm was at least few times larger than the earth.Some of them could even be 10,000 times larger than Earth.Once the seals were open, Earth’s area would increase significantly.James could not fathom the Earth’s real size. He shook his head and replied, “I don’t know.”Sophie said, “The Earth is on
Even though the current environment was detrimental to the human race, James was determined to work through it.“By the way...” James suddenly thought of something and asked, “What rank were the powerhouses that were fighting just now? The aftermath of their battle was terrifying! They destroyed everything within a several million kilometer range.”Sophie replied, “It’s a battle between powerhouses at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage. Those individuals were very close to becoming Grand Emperors. It seems there are a few of them hanging around the area. It’s possible a great treasure has appeared somewhere, attracting these amazing powerhouses to fight over it.”“They’re at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage and are very close to becoming Grand Emperors, you say?”James sucked in a sharp breath.“Aren’t we in the Mortal Dimension? Why are powerhouses from the Divine Dimension here?”“I’m not sure, but be extremely careful. This area is full of dangers, and you might die if you act reckles
A person and two beasts were fighting on the battlefield.The person was a middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe and holding onto a long sword. His sword gleamed with deadly energy. The two beasts, on the other hand, were creatures James had not seen before.One of the beasts resembled a lizard. It had a long body about a kilometer in length. Its body was covered in black scales with a pair of black wings growing out of its back.The other was an enormous orangutan. It was a thousand meters tall and covered in red fur. It had a ferocious and terrifying appearance.The three of them fought fiercely in the area. The atmosphere was tense, and their surroundings were the victims of their blind destruction.Even though James watched from afar and was protected by Sophie’s energy, he was still shaken by the scene.Without Sophie’s protective shield, he would not be able to stand firmly.“Haah!” Seeing the intense battle ahead of him, James inadvertently gasped.He asked, “What kin
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
