James staggered backward due to the overwhelming force. At the same time, an immense power spread from his arm to his entire body. The Blood Energy inside his body churned, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. Then, he was sent flying and collapsed heavily to the ground. Meanwhile, his arm was completely twisted beyond recognition. As James collapsed to the ground, many powerful figures in the distance praised Lucifer. “As expected of the Young Master of the Hadean Clan… To think that he possesses such immense strength at such a young age!” “Indeed, he was sealed away at a very young age. Though only a few years have passed since he was released from the seal, he has reached the Sage Rank. With such potential, the Hadean Clan will have another extremely powerful figure in the future.” “Congratulations, Tigranes Xanthippos.” Many spoke. Some even congratulated Tigranes. Meanwhile, Tigranes only smiled faintly and said nothing. In the arena, James stood up with great dif
James used Sacrilegious Ascension and the dragon bones’ power to forcibly increase his strength to the Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage. As his strength increased drastically, this attracted the attention of many powerful figures. Meanwhile, faced against James, whose strength was equivalent to the Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage, Lucifer only smiled faintly. Though James was strong, he was no match for him. “Come on, James! Where are your Infinity Steles?” he said smilingly. Lucifer looked forward to James using everything at his disposal so that he could fight him to his heart’s content. “I have no need for them.” James smiled faintly. “Infinity Steles?” The crowd overheard their conversation. “Could he be from Earth?” “The James Caden of Earth?” “Is he a human?” Many were bewildered. Just as they were puzzled, James catalyzed Elemental Inversion. At that moment, True Elemental Essence was activated. As they interwove and restrained each other, they formed a brand-
Lucifer raised his hand, and their fists collided. Lucifer was sent flying, and he retreated several thousand meters before being able to regain his footing. Veins bulged on his arms, and a look of pain appeared on his face. He shook his arm and gritted his teeth, saying, “I really underestimated you. To think you were able to increase your strength to the peak of the Sage Rank’s First Stage. Hahaha! Very well! Today, we shall fight to our heart’s content.” Lucifer burst into a peal of laughter. Then, a powerful aura burst forth, and Demonic Energy soared to the sky, seemingly on the verge of dispersing the lightning tribulation. As his Demonic Energy affected the lightning tribulation in the sky, his actions interrupted the Heavenly Tribulation. As such, a lightning tribulation struck Lucifer. Lucifer did not dodge the attack but instead stood his ground and endured the strike. As his physical body was unrivaled, the lightning tribulation did not deal any damage to him. Afte
James performed many signature cultivation methods and completely overwhelmed Lucifer. However, Lucifer entered his Super Combat Form and completely reversed the tides. Now, James was sent flying by a single punch. His body was pierced, and there was now a bloody hole in his chest. Faced with the domineering Lucifer, James knew he would not be able to leave the arena without using everything at his disposal to defeat him. He slowly stood up and catalyzed the Demonic Energy inside his body to accelerate his recovery speed. Then, he soared to the sky. As his mind stirred, 108 Infinity Steles materialized in the surroundings and enveloped him. “A-Are those the Infinity Steles?” “Aren’t they treasures that were born when heaven and earth were created?” “What powerful aura… I sense the aura of many Grand Emperors and countless supreme Ways on the Infinity Steles.” Everyone was stunned. “What a shame that he’s too weak! With his insignificant rank, he could not utilize the In
When would this ever end? Soon, Lucifer’s hair completely turned red, and a red halo enveloped the surface of his skin. With the Imperial Weapon in hand, he attacked once more. Powerful Sword Energy burst forth. Seeing this, James hurriedly catalyzed the Infinity Steles. However, this time, they were knocked away and crashed to the ground. Boom! As the Infinity Steles crashed to the ground, the arena shook despite not being destroyed. Lucifer seized this opportunity and struck, knocking away the incoming Infinity Steles before breaking the formation created by them. Holding the Imperial Weapon in hand, he struck James. Many among the crowd closed their eyes. To them, James had lost. Henrik and Qusai held their breaths as they watched the battle intently. Even Brielle was at the edge of her seat. At that pivotal moment, majestic Sword Intent materialized from within James’ body. His pores opened up and threads of Sword Energy appeared, quickly gathering together to
Each time he performed Sacrilegious Ascension, James’ strength would be drained, and he would require some time to rejuvenate. However, as he possessed a Demonic Body, his recovery speed was rapid. In the case of the Primordial Demonic Ape Race, they would need a long time to recover after performing Sacrilegious Ascension. James lay on the ground and rested. Meanwhile, a few powerful figures of the Hadean Clan entered the arena and took Lucifer away. As Lucifer was defeated, he lost the right to challenge Brielle and marry her. So, the powerful figures of the Hadean Clan did not linger for long and hurriedly turned to leave. “It’s over.” “James has won.” “I never thought he would emerge victorious.” “Didn’t the rumors say that James defeated Lucifer once on Earth? I guess this isn’t that surprising, after all.” “You have to understand that humans have the Elysian Seal inside their bodies. As such, it isn’t that easy for them to make a breakthrough.” “The human race was
After hearing that, Txomin’s expression became solemn.The Heavenly Path was the supreme existence. It was in charge of everything in the universe. Every living being was under the control of the Heavenly Path. Was it even possible to destroy it?Even Grand Emperors were under the Heavenly Path’s control and would not dare to defy it.James let out a deep sigh and said, “Xandros said that during the Primeval Age, powerful cultivators of the human race wanted to destroy the merciless Heavenly Path and establish new rules. However, they failed. As a result, the human race is experiencing this tribulation, and the Elysian Seal has appeared in the human body.”“So that’s why.” Txomin was enlightened.He was unaware of these secrets. Even though he was a Quasi-Emperor, he did not understand them.“Alright. You should first get some rest. After you’ve had enough rest, you’ll have the wedding with Brielle.”James waved his hand slightly and said, “Lord Labhrann, that’s unnecessary. I f
Using a fake wedding to steal the Labhrann clan’s bodhi tree in the Mortal Dimension was certainly a big deal.The bodhi tree was named the Mortal Dimension’s Spiritual Root. Even in the Divine Dimension, it was extremely rare. It was unquestionably a priceless treasure.Even though James was friendly with Txomin and they were both humans, the Labhrann would hunt him down if he stole the bodhi tree.Furthermore, a fake wedding was extremely hurtful to a woman.Noticing James’ hesitation, Henrik persuaded him, “Mr. Caden, think about it. Trying to avoid hurting a woman or saving the lives of millions of humans—which is more important?”After Henrik said so, James made up his mind. He looked at him and asked, “What is your plan?”Qusai said, “The initial plan is for the wedding to take place in the Mortal Dimension. When the time comes, a lot of powerful cultivators will definitely attend. Moreover, as the Labhrann Clan prepare for the wedding, they will also disregard safety measu
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
