Korinth, Sangria, and Wushua were the strongest countries on Galileo.Now that Korinth and Sangria were at war, the number of soldiers participating in the fight had reached several million.Although the Korinthian Army had invaded Macchia City in Sangria, they were fought off by the Sangrian Army’s tenacious defense efforts. Afraid of Sangria’s curse, the Korinthian Army temporarily withdrew their troops.Meanwhile, the Korinthian chancellor sent the latest updates on the war back to their country.After Emperor Xandalous discussed the matter with his officials, he dispatched another huge army to support the chancellor.This time, Korinth dispatched tens of millions of soldiers.The overall strength of this batch of soldiers was very impressive, and the weakest among them was at the Immortal Ascension rank.Tens of millions of soldiers marched intimidatingly toward Yantargh Canyon.News of the approaching battalion immediately reached Sangria.A female soldier immediately r
Nova said, “A few of the humans in the Celestial Abode have claimed the Elysian Seal in their bodies has disappeared.”“Huh?”Shocked, James asked, “The Elysian Seal has disappeared?”Nova replied, “Yeah. After we arrived in this world, some humans made breakthroughs in their cultivation rank. It didn’t take long before many more began to make improvements and they found that supposedly the Elysian Seal in their bodies didn’t appear while attempting to make a cultivation breakthrough.”Hearing this, James was taken aback.Then, he suddenly remembered the words of Sangria’s Empress. She mentioned the humans in this world did not have any seals on their bodies, and she had never heard of such a thing before.“Could this be related to this world’s seal?”James was lost in thoughts.After failing to figure out why the Elysian Seal disappeared while in this world, he put away that matter for the time being.Since the Elysian Seal was gone while in this world, his 400,000 soldiers c
After learning of Korinth’s latest assault on Sangria, James rushed into the Southern Fortress and inquired about the war between the two countries.He learned they had already been fighting for some time.Sangria suffered very significant losses during the war.They had been keeping the Korinthian Army at bay by relying on their country’s curse. The Korinthian Army did not dare to stay in Sangria for too long. If not for the curse, Sangria’s defenses would have been breached and destroyed by now.He also learned that Korinth had dispatched tens of millions of soldiers to Yantargh Canyon. On the other hand, Sangria had assembled 30,000,000 soldiers who planned to defend Sangria with their lives.James was relieved after hearing Sangria had put together an army of 30,000,000. For the time being, Sangria would not be defeated.However, he feared that Korinth would continue to dispatch more soldiers to bolster their army and attack Sangria with the entirety of their forces. Sangri
She was the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion’s Leader, also known as the Sword Master.The Sword Master fell into deep thought and did not reply for a while.Xianna continued to speak. “Korinth is very ambitious. Geographically speaking, they have to conquer our country to continue traveling south to attack Wushua and unify the world. However, I have a feeling their intention isn’t that simple.”Hearing this, the Sword Master looked at Xianna and asked, “Did you notice anything strange?”Xianna nodded and said, “I suspect Korinth has learned about our country’s secret. They’re using an attack on our country as a cover-up and are actually coming after the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.”Hearing this, the Sword Master fell into deep thought.After a long while, she said, “Sangria and the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion’s secrets have only been passed down to our country’s Empress and the Crepe Myrtle Sword Master. That is to say, only you and I are aware of them. Are you suspecting that I lea
The formation around the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion was potent and contained very terrifying Sword Intent. Even though James had a Sword Body and walked the path of a swordsman, he could not resist the Sword Intent’s force.He only had Nova to turn to for help.Nova was a lifeform born within the Celestial Abode and had been following a Grand Master’s journey. Thus, his strength was also unfathomable.Soon, Nova responded, “I can break it. Although it’s a potent formation, it’s a piece of cake to me.”“Quickly help me break the formation. I have to investigate how this place is connected to the curse,” James said impatiently.“Alright.” Nova’s voice resounded from the Celestial Abode.Following that, a powerful force came from within the Celestial Abode and enveloped James’ body.“You can pass through the formation now, Master. As long as you don’t willingly expose yourself, no one will be able to see you,” said Nova.James sensed the powerful force around him that hid his ene
The female disciple said, “It’s a rumor I heard being spread in the outside world.”“Oh, is that so?”The Sword Master was slightly taken aback.The female disciple said, “Yeah. The whole world is spreading that the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion is protecting Sangria’s secret. Whoever unravels the secret will remove the curse and obtain a great fortune.”“What a joke.”The Sword Master said lightly, “It’s getting late. You’re dismissed. Go back and rest.”“Alright.”The female disciple turned and left.James stood aside and eavesdropped on their conversation.He fell into thought. ‘The outside world is spreading a rumor that the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion is protecting Sangria’s secret? Is that true? Could it be that this place is really related to Sangria’s Curse?’Then, James looked at the woman that was addressed as the Sword Master.The Sword Master stood a few meters away from him but could not sense his presence.The Sword Master had a pensive expression, which was qui
Xianna and the Sword Master, the two beautiful women, looked at each other with solemness.“Could it be the fated one has appeared?” Xianna suddenly recalled something.“...”The Sword Master was taken aback.After a brief moment, she said, “Those are just myths. There isn’t any proof as to whether they’re true.”Xianna said, “Everything about the curse is also just a myth, is it not? I have a very strong feeling the fated one mentioned since ancient times is about to appear. If he appears, then our country’s curse will be lifted.”James was very intrigued by their conversation.However, neither Xianna nor the Sword Master continued to speak.“That’s right. I’m the fated one you’re speaking about.”At that moment, a voice resounded. James and the two women looked in the direction of the sound.A person stepped out from the dark.He wore a black robe and was about 180 centimeters tall. He did not have a very outstanding appearance but was not ugly either. However, he had a
Hearing this, Xianna and the Sword Master began conversing with each other in whispers.Xianna whispered, “That’s exactly what the former Empress told me when she passed the throne to me. She told me the person who isn’t affected by Sangria’s Cruse is the fated one, and he’ll obtain the inheritance left behind by the Ancestral Talisman Master.”The Sword Master thought for a while and said, “When the former Sword Master passed the position to me, she said the supreme sword-fighting techniques can’t be obtained by just anyone. Only the fated one will be able to acquire it. Also, this person isn’t afraid of the curse and has two special characteristics. That is, he will have a Sword Body and the Sword Energy of the Ancestral Sword Master.”Xianna said, “Let’s not act rashly for now and see what happens in a month.”“Mhm. We’ll wait to see if he isn’t affected by the Sangria’s Curse.”…Although the two spoke in hushed tones, James could still hear them.After eavesdropping on thei
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
