James was dumbfounded.In this area, there were at least a million Heavenly Path Embodiments. How could he possibly annihilate them all in a single move?“How do I annihilate them?” he had to ask.The mysterious man said, “With just the first stage of swordsmanship, it is entirely impossible. Your first stage of swordsmanship has already reached a very profound state. You should now try to grasp the second stage.“When you’ve gained a better understanding of the second stage, you might be able to do so.“The Ancestral Sword Master’s swordsmanship is well-known and astounds people all over the world. Although I’ve never deliberately cultivated it, every Sword Cultivator in the world is proficient in it. I’m also familiar with some of its cultivation techniques.“Now, get a deeper understanding of the Second Sword Realm, Sword Shadow.“Shadow refers to silhouette and shape. This technique is more advanced than Sword Moves.“Close your eyes and recollect the Sword Moves that you’v
His body was very special. After the Elemental Inversion Formation was present in his body, even if his Demonic Energy was depleted, other True Energies could be converted into Demonic Energy and maintain his body’s strength.As soon as Demonic Energy was catalyzed, the injuries in his body quickly healed.James scanned his surroundings.Countless Heavenly Path Embodiments formed around him once again.James furrowed his brow slightly.“Although I’m starting to gain insight into the Second Sword Realm, I still can’t annihilate so many Heavenly Path Embodiments at once?”James became troubled.“Kid, that’s because the cultivation of your First Sword Realm isn’t perfect yet. You need to comprehend more Sword Moves and incorporate them into the First Sword Realm. The stronger the First Sword Realm, the stronger the Second Sword Realm.”A voice came from a great distance away.“It’s still not enough?” James muttered.He closed his eyes.James was currently relying solely on inst
“Thank you for your guidance.”James expressed his gratitude.If not for this man, he would not have been able to overcome this tribulation at all.Not only had he overcome this tribulation, but his physical strength had now reached Sage Rank’s Fifth Stage.His own rank had also reached the peak of the Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage.Furthermore, this was the result of his deliberate compression, as well as his endless battling and depletion of True Essence. Otherwise, while he was going through the tribulation, he would already have become a Sage.“Kid, you are very powerful. You went through the most dreadful Heavenly Tribulation in history. Even with your current strength, such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation appeared. It is clear that your potential is extremely frightening.“However, don’t be arrogant. Although you have great potential, can strive for the very top, and might even surpass Ancestral Gods and achieve unprecedented heights, don’t be careless. Too many acciden
Not much time had passed, therefore James was relieved.He was genuinely worried that while he spent thirty thousand years in the Tribulation World, thirty thousand years had passed in the outside world as well.Thirty thousand years was once a very long time for him. He never imagined that one day he would battle nonstop for thirty thousand years.James currently looked like a demon to everyone. The murderous intent emanating from his body was too powerful.Even if he had restrained his aura, the murderous intent was formed through battling for several tens of thousands of years.“James, why is your aura so strange?”Walganus stared at James. Even he was taken aback when he sensed the frightening murderous intent within James’ body.“Really?” James examined himself. However, he could not detect any strange aura on himself.Winnie, who was nearby, looked at James and said, “It’s murderous intent. You’re like a vicious beast from ancient times, with unending murderous intent.”
“Glad to finally hear from you, brat.” Sophie’s voice came from within the Celestial Abode. “It’s been thirty thousand years, and you’ve finally appeared. I even thought you were killed by the Heavenly Tribulation.”“Thirty thousand years?” James muttered, then asked, “I spent thirty thousand years in the Tribulation World. Could it be that you’ve also spent thirty thousand years in the Celestial Abode as well?”“That’s right,” Sophie said, “You always have the Celestial Abode with you. Although the connection between you and the Celestial Abode was severed by some sort of mysterious force, the Celestial Abode was indeed in the Tribulation World. The amount of time you spent there equals the amount of time the people in the Celestial Abode spent there.” “So that’s how it is.”James was enlightened. Then something occurred to him suddenly, and he asked, “How is the army of four hundred thousand men in the Celestial Abode? Thirty thousand years have passed. Has their strength increa
James’ taut nerves were getting loosened up at this moment.As soon as James relaxed, his fatigue came. He quickly fell into a deep sleep while lying on the bed.James was asleep, but Walganus and the others were gathered in the main hall.Walganus regarded the numerous generals and said, “His Majesty has overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. His rank has greatly improved as well. He has risen from the third stage of Yogacara to the peak of Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage. Now, he is only one step away from the Sage Rank.“Regardless, the aura on His Majesty is too frightening. It is a boundless murderous intent that is extremely difficult to form. One would need to kill innumerable living beings.”After hearing that, Winnie, who was in the main hall, looked at Walganus and asked, “What do you mean by that?”Walganus furrowed his brow and said, “I’m just reminding everyone that once His Majesty is controlled by the murderous intent in his body and loses his mind, it will be very terr
After he finished speaking, James returned to the room.He lay down on the bed again.With his current strength, he was not afraid of the Korinthian Army at all.Even without using the force inside the Celestial Abode, he could handle Korinth’s several dozen Sages and the army of over 100 million men on his own.With a carefree expression, he rested.Walganus, on the other hand, was frowning outside the door. He did not want Sangria to be destroyed just like that. If Sangria was destroyed, his plans would be ruined.“Could it be that this brat has something up his sleeve to fend off the Korinthian Army’s assault?” Walganus murmured.Since James was not anxious right now, it was pointless for him to worry. If Sangria was truly in danger of being destroyed, he would no longer hide his strength and would immediately destroy the Korinthian Army.The entire Macchia City was aware that the Korinthian Army was on the move.The soldiers of Macchia City wore grave expressions. They wer
James saw the Korinthian Army.There were a lot of people in his field of vision. They were closely packed, rolling in like a tidal wave. Behind the army were some flying battleships. Every flying battleship was massive, capable of carrying at least millions of people.He stood in mid-air, hands behind his back, his face calm.At this moment, some Sages had gathered on a flying battleship of the Korinthian Army in the center.The leader was Korinth’s Chancellor.Korinth’s Chancellor was named Ylfioss Juel. He was once a disciple of the Korinth Sect and was skilled in the art of divination.The flying battleship came to a stop.“What’s happening?” Chancellor Ylfioss asked.“Report!” A soldier walked over, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said, “Chancellor, someone is obstructing the path ahead.”“How many people?”“One.”Chancellor Ylfioss was furious. He snapped, “Just run over them. We cannot allow one person to cause a delay in our journey.”“Chancellor, the aura on h
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
