James followed to the tower’s entrance.There were several ancient scripts engraved on the beams of the entrance. They were from very ancient times, and James could not read or understand them.He froze momentarily and followed the Sword Master into the tower.James discovered that the inside of the tower was relatively vast. The first floor was about a thousand square meters. The place was furnished with countless bookshelves that were filled with books.The Sword Master did not stay on the first floor but headed up the stairs to the ninth floor.James followed her to the ninth floor.After the Sword Master reached the ninth floor, she searched the books. Soon, she found an ancient book on a bookshelf. Then, she found a corner to sit down and seriously read the book.Meanwhile, James scanned his surroundings curiously.He picked up a book and found that the words in the book were not in a language from Earth, so it was impossible for him to read them.After scrutinizing the b
The Sword Master sensed that James had left.Although she could tell James’ precise location from the footsteps, she did not take action against him for fear that the hidden person was overpowering.Otherwise, she would have definitely been able to sense his aura.After James left, the Sword Master frowned and wore a solemn expression.“Who the hell was that? We have a formation protecting the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion. Ordinary people aren’t able to pass through it. How can an outsider enter the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion and secretly follow me around? What exactly is this person’s goal?The Sword Master was perplexed.She did not know the identity of the person following her or the person’s motive.The Sword Master quickly left the tower and headed to see Xianna.At that moment, Xianna was by a manor in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion where she stayed. She sat on the grass field outside the manor and stared at the sky in a daze.The Sword Master rushed over and told her a
The Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion was a good place to cultivate and improve his Yogacara rank.However, James was not in the mood to cultivate.He waited for one month to pass. If he could make it through the one-month mark and was not affected by the curse, he would cultivate at ease. Although he would not reach the Tribulation Rank, he could at least reach the Mage Rank’s Third Stage.James sat on the cliff of the back mountain. Bored, he took out a cigarette and lit it.At that moment, he felt homesick.He missed being on Earth and wanted to see Thea.So many years have passed, and he wondered how Thea was doing on Earth.Meanwhile, many powerhouses continued to gather outside of the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion’s mountain gate.Since the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion was protected by a formation set up by a powerhouse of the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion many years ago, powerhouses of the current age could not break through it with their strength.Initially, almost all the powerh
His face was skeletal and looked as if only a thin layer of skin was covering it up.The man was so slim that he looked like a skeleton in clothes.His face was pale, and his eyes were sunken, which made his face look slightly frightening.Many cultivators slightly backed away upon seeing his appearance.The old man stepped out into the air and slowly descended from the sky. Soon, he landed on the ground.Everyone looked at the powerhouse that had dominated the world a hundred thousand years ago warily.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch looked at the crowd and said calmly, “Most people only know about Sangria’s Curse. They aren’t aware that all of Planet Galileo is cursed.“Living beings on Planet Galileo aren’t capable of living for more than a million years.“Those that reach the age of one million will die.“Also, the living beings on our planet can’t break through into the Divine Rank. Those that reach the Divine Rank will die even if they haven’t reached the age of one mill
The Blademaster of Mount Grinch was a peerless cultivator.With such a powerhouse shouting outside demanding the mountain gate be opened, the Crepe Myrtle Sword Master became worried.She contemplated whether to open it or not.“What will you do with the powerhouses outside the mountain gate, Sword Master?” asked Xianna.The Sword Master thought awhile and said, “The Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion isn’t a hidden sect. With so many powerhouses outside the mountain gate, it’ll seem as if I’m unwelcoming if I don’t open the gate for them.”The Sword Master decided to open the door.Although the supreme sword-fighting techniques were hidden within the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion, they were a legend passed down by their ancestors by word of mouth. Even she did not know the location of where they were hidden.Xianna said lightly, “I’ll respect whatever decision you make.”They were in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion. Although the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion had always maintained a good
James looked at Xianna gratefully.The Sword Master took a deep breath and felt relieved for now.James walked over and looked at the two women with different temperaments. Despite their differences, they were both equally beautiful. With a smile, he said, “Your Majesty, Sword Master, it’s an honor.”The Sword Master snorted softly and did not respond to him.Xianna chuckled and asked, “Didn’t you already leave our country? Why did you come back?”James said, “I heard that powerful sword techniques were hidden here, and I also heard about the Curse Magic in Sangria. I’m very interested in the Curse Magic, so I came to check it out.“By the way…”James remembered something and looked at the Sword Master.“While I was invisible, I heard the Sword Master mention the fated one has a Sword Body and the Ancestral Sword Mater’s Sword Energy. Is that true?”The Sword Master’s face eased a lot. She nodded and said, “Yes. These are passed down to the successors of the Crepe Myrtle Swo
Walganus was a swordsman.Sensing the appearance of thousands of Sword Energies, he was shocked.However, the Sword Energies appeared and disappeared almost instantly. He had no idea what had happened, so he rushed over to ask about the situation.The Sword Master glanced at James.At that moment, she had doubts about Walganus’ identity.Walganus claimed to be the fated one. However, according to the descriptions passed down by her teacher, the fated one had a Sword Body and the Ancestral Sword Master’s Sword Energy.James had summoned the Sword Energy and caused a strange phenomenon in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.Did that mean James was the fated one?Then, who exactly was Walganus?The Sword Master had no answers to her questions. All she knew was that Walganus was very strong. His strength surpassed hers greatly. Therefore, she was slightly afraid of him.“I-It’s probably because the fated one has shown up in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.”The Sword Master parted
“I hope so.”James also wished to obtain the supreme sword-fighting techniques and the powerful Sword Magic from the Primordial Age.“Shall I accompany you around the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion?” Xianna looked at James and asked for his opinion.“It’s alright. You’re a highly Empress. How could I waste your time?” James promptly refused.Xianna rolled her eyes and said, “There’s no Empress in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion. Here, I’m Xianna. Plus, I’m quite familiar with the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion and might be able to help you obtain the swordsmanship inheritance.”James was tempted by her words.“Then, thank you for your help.”“Let’s go.” Xianna strode ahead of him. James followed behind her, and the two began their search through the 1008 mountains in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.While that was happening, the Crepe Myrtle Sword Master deactivated the mountain formation, allowing the powerhouses to enter the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.The crowd of powerhouses
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
