“Alright,” the guard replied respectfully and left.Brielle waited in the yard.After a while, the guard returned together with Thea.“Ms. Labhrann, I’ve brought the visitor,” the guard bowed as he reported to Brielle.Brielle gently waved her hand and said, “Okay. You’re dismissed.”“Understood.”The guard turned and left.Thea stood to the side and looked at Brielle.Brielle sat on a chair in a gazebo and returned Thea’s gaze.After Thea finished giving Brielle a once over, she was amazed and thought to herself, ‘James was in the Demon Realm for only a few years yet was able to attract such a stunning woman. She’s gorgeous and looks very suitable for James.”Brielle stared at Thea but could not see her appearance since her face was covered with a veil. She pointed to a chair beside herself and smiled. “You must be Thea, right? Have a seat. Please relax.”After Thea heard Brielle calling her name, she was certain the man who married Brielle was definitely the one she had
Brielle chased after Thea.She was apprehensive about where to start her search for James. Fortunately, Thea showed up at the right time.Now, as long as she followed Thea she would eventually find James.Thea frowned at Brielle’s words. She did not want Brielle to follow her around.After thinking about it for a while, Thea said, “Don’t you think its slightly inappropriate for you to be following me around?”Brielle replied with a smile. “There’s nothing inappropriate about it. James and I have already exchanged vows. I’m officially his wife. I heard about you from him. I already told him you’d be the first wife, and I’ll be his second wife.”Since Brielle kept insisting, Thea stopped refusing her. She nodded and said, “Do whatever you want.”After speaking, Thea swiftly departed.Brielle followed behind her.Meanwhile, James was still in the unknown world.Even Sophie was unable to identify the place. All she knew was there was a strong formation around the planet and it wa
A fierce fight had ensued in a closeby canyon within the forest.Two armies were at war and millions of people were engaged in battle.The soldiers on both sides were not particularly strong. Most were around the Immortal Ascension rank.Only a few generals were slightly above the rest and had reached the Tribulation Rank.At the moment, two people at the Tribulation Rank were locked in battle.“A war?”James hovered in the sky and looked into the distance. When he saw the scene of the battlefield, his brows furrowed.After spending a moment to consider carefully, he mobilized his True Essence and propelled himself into the sky.With one step, he appeared right outside the canyon.The war raged on and countless soldiers fought against each other.The sound of aggressive and violent screams filled the air as blades clashed against one another. It was an extremely gruesome sight.A vicious battle took place in the skies between the two generals.One of the generals was a man
James had come to defuse the situation. Many lives were sacrificed in the war between the two armies, especially the women’s army. Hundreds of thousands of their soldiers were killed, and only a few hundred thousand were left. All of them would be wiped out if the war continued.The male general looked at James and said coldly, “This war concerns the national affairs between our two countries. It has nothing to do with you. If you know what’s smart, then get out of the way. Otherwise, I’m not going to go easy on you.”James asked calmly, “You’re not going to withdraw?”“What are you going to do if we withdraw?”The male general replied coldly, “Our army will conquer Sangria and take over the country in preparation to unify the world.”From his remark, James could tell that this man’s army initiated the war, and that the women were from a country called Sangria.James asked, “What’s the name of your country?”The male general leered at James disdainfully and replied, “Listen
“Haah!”James sent out gleaming Sword Energy in response to the general’s taunts.The Sword Energy rushed toward the Grand Marshal and was in front of him in an instant. His study armor was unable to withstand the might of the Sword Energy and had started to wear down.Crack!His armor crumbled to pieces in a mere second.Before the Sword Energy even touched his body, the force had already injured him.The Grand Marshal wanted to retreat but was thoroughly subdued by the Sword Energy’s force. He felt like he had been pinned down and that any movement he made would allow the Sword Energy’s force to tear his body apart.He was drenched in a nervous sweat and quickly surrendered to James. “Wait! Don’t do it! I’ll give the order! I’ll immediately order my troops to withdraw.”Hearing these words, James dissipated his Sword Energy.The Grand Marshal of Korinth heaved a sigh in relief. He reached out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. Then, he glanced at James and instructe
James really was just passing by the area.The Sangrian Army would have been wiped out today if he had not happened to pass by the battlefield.“Thank you.” The female general expressed her gratitude.She attempted to get up but had not fully regained her strength. As soon as she moved, an excruciating pain spread through her body. She inadvertently let out a painful groan. Seeing her struggle, James said, “I might have saved your life but, your injuries were pretty serious and haven’t completely healed up. It’s best you rest for a while.”“Mhm.” The female general from Sangria nodded lightly.James looked at the other female soldiers sitting the in the distance, and his curiosity was piqued. He asked, “Why do you only have female soldiers? Are there no men in your country?”Hearing this, the female general was shocked.Looking at James perplexedly, she asked, “Have you never heard of Sangria before?”James shook his head and said, “I’ve been cultivating in the mountains an
The reports came in one after another.The Empress had a solemn expression as she was brief on how their troops were faring.Immediately, she issued an order, “Get the other three armies to gather in the Imperial Capital and tell them to defend it with their lives.”“Understood.”…At that moment, the female general was on the way back to the country with her 100,000 surviving soldiers.Half a month later, the female general arrived at the Imperial Capital.She kneeled on the ground in the Sangria Palace.“Your Highness, please forgive me for failing to repel Korinth’s troops. Our army suffered heavy casualties during the battle that took place in Yantargh Canyon. This man is the savior who prevented Korinth’s merciless army from wiping us out. Without his help, Korinth’s army might have already reached the Imperial Capital by now.”James stood in the palace hall, sweeping his gaze over the civil and military officials gathered.All of them were beautiful women.He felt entr
After confirming the truth from a variety of sources, the Empress acknowledged that James had indeed saved Sangria’s remaining soldiers and temporarily averted their crisis by preventing Korinth’s attack on their country.It was common courtesy in Sangria to repay the kindness shown to them.Since James had saved their country, they wanted to show their gratitude.However, the Empress did not want James to remain in Sangria for an extended period of time because she was afraid he would find himself in a dangerous situation or die abruptly because of the curse.The Empress did not want something bad to happen to James.James was immediately intrigued after hearing the Empress bring up the topic of the curse. He could not contain his curiosity and asked, “Your Majesty, what kind of place is Sangria? Why has a curse that prevents men from living here for an extended period been put on the country?”The Empress doubtfully shook her head and said, “I don’t know too much about the spec
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
