The restricted area of the Divine Dimension was simply too dangerous, and James had no plans of going. Losing his life over a woman was simply not worth it. However, the opposite was true for the others. For them, riding on the Labhranns’ coattails would mean gaining the opportunity to emerge as a force to be reckoned with. Even if they did not marry Brielle in the end, they would attract the attention of the Divine Dimension’s cultivators if they returned alive. They would consider themselves fortunate to be admitted as their disciples. Hence, this was worth risking their lives. Henrik asked, “Are you going, James?” “Nope.” James shook his head and said, “The Divine Dimension’s restricted area is too dangerous. Even a Quasi-Emperor might lose his life there. I’m not risking my life for a mere woman.” “Alright, then.” Henrik said no more. Since James was unwilling to go, he did not press the issue. “I’m interested in going, though.” Intrigued by the Divine Dimension’s res
Primordial Energy was an energy of the highest level. Around them were undulating mountain ranges, and before them was a grand and magnificent building that shone with a golden luster. It rose high into the clouds. Henrik scanned his surroundings and smiled, “James, this is the headquarters of the Divine Dimension’s Labhranns. The Labhranns are held in high regard in the Divine Dimension and are an influential family.” “Mhm.” James nodded and said, “As expected of the Divine Dimension, the Primordial Energy here is extremely concentrated. Even the Primordial Pulse in the holy site of the Mortal Dimension’s Labhranns is incomparable to the Primordial Energy here.” “I agree. Well, this is the Divine Dimension, after all.” … The three happily chit-chatted away. After arriving at the Divine Dimension, they noticed the appearance of more and more living beings of the Divine Dimension. Under normal circumstances, only cultivators who had reached the Divine Rank could ascend t
The Labhranns’ Patriarch appeared in James’ room. Though James had no idea why he was there, he greeted him respectfully. Txomin looked at James and waved his hand. Mysterious characters materialized in his palm. They blended into the room’s surroundings and formed a mysterious Magic Circle. Upon seeing his bizarre behavior, James was on full alert. ‘Don’t tell me he’s planning to kill me and seize my treasures…’ As James stared at Txomin cautiously, he contacted Sophie who was inside the Celestial Abode simultaneously. ‘Save me, Sophie!’ However, no one responded. Filled with consternation, James called for Sophie repeatedly, but there was still no response. “Relax…” Txomin looked at James with a doting expression. James took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down. He looked at Txomin, gritted his teeth, and said, “Patriarch Labhrann, what are you doing in my room at this hour?” Txomin took a seat on a chair in the room and looked at James, signaling for hi
“You overestimate me, Patriarch Labhrann. That’s the Demon Realm’s restricted area. Even you might not survive the journey, let alone me. Besides, how am I supposed to release the seal on Xandros that was put in place by the Grand Emperor? I can’t do this. You should seek help elsewhere.” James rejected his request immediately. Txomin looked at him and said, “You’re the only one who can do this.” “Why?” James was confused. Txomin said, “Your physical body was reshaped by the Hadean Clan’s Grand Emperor. Since you have the Grand Emperor’s aura, you won’t encounter any danger while you’re in the Great Dividing Range. As long as you can find Xandros and awaken him, he’ll tell you what to do.” James looked at Txomin. He was confounded. Why would a member of the Demon Race be so desperate to save a human Grand Emperor? “P-Patriarch, could you be a human?” Txomin nodded slightly and said, “Though the Labhranns are part of the Demon Race, I’m not. I’m one of the so-called traito
Looking at Henrik and Qusai, James nodded and said, “Yes, I’m heading to the Great Diving Range.” “Huh?” Stunned, Henrik asked, “I thought you said you weren’t planning on going. What changed your mind?” James smiled and said, “Brielle Labhrann is gorgeous. On second thought, I think it’s worth going on an adventure. Besides, she hails from a mighty clan. If I marry her, I’d have the Labhranns as a powerful backer.” James came up with an excuse. Although he was now sworn brothers with Henrik and Qusai, the less they knew about the Earth and the earthlings’ affairs, the better. It was best not to tell them anything. Henrik looked at Qusai and asked, “Are you going?” Qusai nodded and said, “Of course I am.” James stopped them in time and said, “I think you shouldn’t go. The Great Dividing Range is a dangerous place, and no one knows what kind of danger you will encounter there. Those who head there have made the resolve to lay down their lives. The consequences would be disas
After speaking, Henrik scanned his surroundings. Seeing that they were alone, he whispered, “When James returns to the Mortal Realm’s Labhranns, we’ll find a way to uproot the Labhranns’ bodhi tree.” “I can’t wait!” Qusai was wearing an excited look on his face. Then, the two laughed as they hooked their arms together. Meanwhile, James had entered the void passageway. The passage was opened by Txomin and was stabilized with a powerful Magic Circle. Besides that, it would only vanish only after every living being that headed to the Great Dividing Range had returned. After entering the void passageway, James could feel he was in a passage two meters in width and three meters in height. In the surroundings were mysterious symbols and characters. He walked for approximately a minute. A minute later, he left the void passageway and arrived at an unknown place. He floated out of the void passageway and stood in the void. As he scanned his surroundings, he realized that this was
Under Sophie’s guidance, James headed into the depths of the Great Dividing Range. However, the Great Dividing Range was too huge, and James’ rank was too insignificant. Based on his current speed, he would not reach the central region of the Great Dividing Range even if he flew for years. Annoyed by James’ speed, Sophie furrowed her eyebrows and said, “You’re too slow. Allow me.” Then, she grabbed James’ hand, catalyzed the Divine Energy inside her body, and flew straight ahead. Her speed was so extraordinary that James had the impression that time had stopped. Before he could even react, Sophie stopped. “What’s wrong? Why did you stop?” James asked, confused. At that moment, he could feel a terrifying power permeating the air. As he stared into the void before him, he noticed that there were some spatial turbulences and cracks in the void. Each crack contained extremely terrifying power. Each of them was huge enough to devour a plane whole. “Those are spatial turbulence
Sophie described how to cultivate a Sword Body to James in detail. James’ body was unique. First of all, his physical body was reshaped by a Grand Emperor’s Natal Demonic Lotus and possessed supreme Demonic Power. Secondly, he obtained the providence of Elemental Inversion. Thus, his physical body had become an Elemental Holy Body, and his blood vessels and bones all contained Elemental Power. Elemental Power interwoven and restrained each other inside James’ body. To forge a Sword Body was to refine oneself into a sword. The physical body was the sword, and the sword was the physical body. Simply put, all James needed to do was to absorb the power of this peerless Sword Energy and nourished his physical body. When the time came, his body would become a Sword Body. However, this was easier said than done. That was because Sword Energy would cause great damage to the physical body upon entering the body. No cultivator would even dare try using ordinary Sword Energy, let alone a pe
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
