The battle ended as quickly as it started.After Thea unleashed her Sword Light, the battle instantly ended.Mount Golden Snakes was completely decimated. Thea’s attack eliminated not only the countless guards on the mountain but the four Sages as well.Nothing was left in the area except a beautiful woman floating in the sky. She had on a red dress and heavy makeup. However, her attractive face showed nothing but cold indifference.Thea hovered in the air and looked at the ruined remains of Mount Golden Snakes. She murmured ruthlessly, “You guys asked for it.”After speaking, she did not linger around and left the area.Many distinguished guests invited to the wedding ceremony by Lord Goldenbane watched the battle from afar.They witnessed the destruction of the Golden Snakes Formation and the massacre of all the Golden Snakes Clan members.“What in the world?”“Who’s that woman? Why is she so strong?”“The Golden Snakes Formation was set up by four Sages, yet it was broken
300,000,000 spiritual crystals was a paltry amount to creatures that had stayed in the Demon Realm for a long time.Thea had only been in the Demon Realm for a few years. Thus, 300,000,000 spiritual crystals was an astronomical sum for her.She did not even have a single spiritual crystal on her, let alone 300,000,000.“What should I do?”After leaving the Teleportation Formation, Thea became anxious.James and Brielle’s wedding was soon approaching, so she had to rush there as quickly as possible.James’ marriage to another woman was not her main concern. They have entered an age of cultivation. Since becoming a cultivator, her thinking had changed to adapt to the times. However, she still wanted to see the woman James was marrying for herself to ensure his new bride was a good match.Her only option was to earn as many spiritual crystals as quickly as she could.It was relatively easy to obtain spiritual crystals in the Demon Realm.Monsters within the primal mountains had v
Although James already had a wife, they had never held a wedding ceremony. Thus, he could not help but feel a bit nervous. However, he was not just anxious about the wedding but also about the plan at night.He might die if the plan failed.“Don’t worry. I’m here.”Brielle held James’ hand tightly and comforted him. “You don’t have to be nervous. Just relax.”“My congratulations to the Labhrann Clan.”“Congratulations! The Labhrann Clan has once again nabbed another prodigy. In the next few years, a great powerhouse will surely be born into the clan!”A few cultivators congratulated the Labhrann Clan.Txomin had a big smile on his face.The wedding ceremony then began.The bride and groom exchanged vows. James looked at Brielle’s pretty face which was beaming with a bright smile.James took a deep breath and apologized to her internally. ‘I’m sorry, Brielle. For the sake of humanity on Earth, I have no choice but to deceive you. I hope you won’t resent me after you learn the
After James left the room, he contacted Sophie in the Celestial Abode.Sophie had been recuperating in the Time Chamber for the past few months. After such long period of rest, her injuries had healed slightly. It helping James steal the bodhi tree would not present a huge problem.She responded to James, “Yes?”Following her voice, an intense energy flowed out from the Celestial Abode and enveloped James.“You can act without discretion now. I’ve already set up a formation around you. It can isolate your aura and keep you hidden. You’re effectively invisible now. No one can detect you unless you encounter someone stronger than me.”James was relieved by Sophie’s words.He had been asking around about the bodhi tree’s location for the past few months.It turned out that the bodhi tree was not on Mount Lutheran but on another mountain nearby. It was the tallest peak in the Mortal Dimension, and the bodhi tree was planted on the very top.James quietly left the Labhrann Clan’s ba
James hid in the dark and concealed himself.Meanwhile, Sophie made her way over.As soon as she approached the bodhi tree, she was immediately discovered.The Labhrann Clan’s Great Elder suddenly opened his eyes.“Who’s there?” He sprang up in response.Sophie quickly turned around and fled.The Labhrann Clan’s Great Elder quickly chased after Sophie and both of them disappeared from the area.Seeing that the Labhrann Clan’s Great Elder had been lured away, James quickly walked up to the bodhi tree. He leaped into the air and mobilized his True Essence. Powerful True Essence whipped out from his arms and tugged at the bodhi tree as it tried to uproot it.“Come on!”The sudden strong force pulled the bodhi tree out of the ground. Using his mind, James stored the bodhi tree in the Celestial Abode.The whole process of approaching the bodhi tree and uprooting it only took about ten seconds. After acquiring the bodhi tree, James quickly left the mountain range. He escaped from
After Sophie opened a spatial passage, James, Henrik, and Quasai entered it and departed the Demon Realm.However, the trio had no idea where the spatial passage would lead them.After entering the spatial passage, their vision went dark, and they immediately lost consciousness. After a few seconds, they woke up and noticed they had arrived in a desert.James immediately scanned his surroundings for Henrik and Qusai. However, they were nowhere to be seen. James murmured in shock, “What’s going on? Where are they?”They entered the spatial passage and left the Demon Realm together, yet James found himself all alone.“What’s going on, Ms. Sophie? Where am I? Also, where’s Henrik and Qusai?”James inquired Sophie in the Celestial Abode.At that moment, Sophie had already entered the Time Formation and was preparing to go into seclusion to hasten her recuperation.She was severely injured after being assailed by the Heavenly Path, and those wounds would take a long time to complete
When James appeared, many people greeted him.He returned their greetings with a smile.Then, he instructed, “Gather everyone here. I’ve got something important to announce.”Soon, many people gathered at the village entrance.Everyone looked at James. James threw his gaze over the cloud and assessed their cultivation bases. Despite the many years they had been here, their strength had not improved by much. At most, they only managed to break through one or two sub-ranks.“Why did you call everyone here, James?” asked Cynthia.James looked at them and replied, “I’ve obtained a magical tree from the outside world. Consuming a fruit from it will allow one to immediately reach the Sage rank.”Hearing his announcement, the crowd gasped in shock.“A Sage?”“Is this true?”“Is there really such a miraculous fruit in this world? Can we really become Sages after eating it?”Everyone looked at James in astonishment and disbelief.James nodded and said, “Indeed. Under normal circum
There was a limited lifespan for every living being.Cultivation was all about seizing good fortunes and borrowing more time from the heavens.The path of cultivation was full of obstacles.One would encounter countless dangers and would likely die if they were not careful.It was a very long journey.Empyrean fruits and herbs were created by the universe and came into existence for cultivators to improve their strength.James was well aware of this fact.However, Sophie had repeatedly reminded him not to rely on them too much. Otherwise, his foundation would crumble, and it would be impossible for him to ever reach the pinnacle of cultivation.“I’s fine. I’ll pass.”James shook his head slightly.He had already reached the Mage Rank’s First Stage. It would not be that hard for him to reach the Sage Rank eventually.Moreover, becoming a Sage was not the endpoint for him. It was merely considered the real starting point of one’s path in cultivation.When James was on Earth,
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
