When he saw Winnie get injured, James wanted to intervene in the fight.However, he sensed an intense aura coming from Winnie’s body.James knew it was likely the Scythe of Judgement because it was the only desperate measure Winnie had in her arsenal.He had seen the Scythe of Judgement before but was uncertain how strong it was.Driven by curiosity, he did not rush to interfere in the battle but waited and watched. If Winnie was truly in dire straits, he would take action immediately.After the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch wounded Winnie with his previous attack, he also sensed the strong force emanating from Winnie’s body.“This girl is unusual.”The Korinth Sect’s Patriarch looked ahead with a sense of trepidation, and his murderous intent heightened.The most important thing was to kill his opponent as soon as possible.After he resolved to kill Winnie, the energy emanating from his body also grew more intense, and the long sword in his hand glowed even brighter.“This is dan
Winnie’s face bore a cold expression.She held the black scythe in her hand.Black energy emerged from the scythe and gathered together to form a phantom scythe.The scythe was about 100 meters long and exuded devastating power.Even James was shocked and exclaimed inadvertently upon seeing it, “What overwhelming strength.”At that moment, the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch drew upon all his strength and charged at Winnie with the intent to kill her.As soon as he moved, her scythe formed by black energy slashed down at him.The black scythe struck the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch.“Argh!!!” The Korinth Sect’s Patriarch let out a scream.He froze in the air in disbelief as his eyes widened.“Argh! Nooo…”His horrified voice echoed through the sky.As the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch's voice resounded, the black scythe struck his body and the man exploded. He was reduced to nothing in an instant.“What in the…?”In the distance, the chancellor trembled in fear and stumbled backward upon
James only gave Winnie a light scolding.However, these issues were his to settle, and he did not want to sully Winnie’s hands in the process.Winnie put away the Scythe of Judgment, and her expression returned to normal. She looked at James and stuck out her tongue, saying, “You’re not going to reprimand me for going into battle without your order, are you?”James wanted to scold her but could not bring himself to do it.“You had better not act like this again.”“Alright, I understand.” Winnie nodded obediently.The Korinthian Army suffered heavy losses.Winnie’s effortless onslaught with the Scythe of Judgment caused the deaths of several million soldiers.After witnessing the ruthlessness of Sangria’s forces, the chancellor lost all desire to fight back.Suddenly, James appeared in front of Chancellor Ylfioss.“You…”Ylfioss was frightened of him and instinctively backed away from James.James stared at him and said coldly, “Sangria doesn’t wish to be anyone’s enemy, but
James said smilingly, “The world is vast, and contains many wonders. What’s so strange about her? Sangria is considered one of the biggest countries in Galileo. It’s quite common for powerhouses to have stayed hidden during their time as soldiers.”Walganus frowned and said, “What I’m suspicious of is her weapon.”James looked at Walganus and asked, “Oh? What’s wrong? Do you recognize her weapon?”“I think so, but I can’t be sure yet.”“Where’s her weapon from?” asked James.“Forget it. You wouldn’t know even if I told you.” Walganus did not choose to elaborate. Since it was a weapon from the Primeval Age, he figured James would not know anything even if he explained it to him.Afterward, James continued to stay in Macchia City.This time, the Korinthian Army completely withdrew their troops from the Yantargh Canyon and returned to their base in Korinth.The chancellor kneeled in Korinth Palace’s main hall and reported the details of their battle.After Korinth’s Emperor heard
Korinth’s attacks on Sangria attracted the attention of all the countries on Galileo.After the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch was killed, the matter came to an end.Powerhouses all over the planet were shocked by the strength Sangria had displayed.“Sangria is a powerful country.”“I never expected a powerhouse that could easily take down the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch would exist in Sangria.”“I heard legends of a fated one in Sangria passed down from ancient times. It’s rumored he has finally appeared. This person is immune to the country’s curse and is destined to obtain the treasures hidden in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavillion and in Sangria.”“The fated one must be Sangria’s new Emperor, James Caden.”“Didn’t Sangria just announce they’re looking for the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and Sangria’s Imperial Jade Seal? They’re rewarding anyone that provides information about the two treasures.”Peace was momentarily restored in Sangria.Cultivators all over the planet discussed Sangria
“Cut to the chase,” Xanthe said coldly.Walganus said, “I want to know more about the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.”Xanthe said, “The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword was lost a long time ago. It’s already been more than billions of years since it went missing. How am I supposed to know about something that far in the past?”Walgsanus was reluctant to believe Xanthe’s words.“I’ve got a feeling that you know more than you let on. I’m doing this for your own good, Xanthe. After I find the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword, I’ll be able to lift the curse on the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavillion and obtain the Ancestral Sword Master’s swordsmanship inheritance. Not only will the curse on Sangria be lifted, but the seal on this world can also be undone.“When that time comes, the lifespan of this world’s inhabitants can exceed one million years. All I’ve been doing has been for the sake of this world.“I want you to tell me everything you know.“By the way, I also brought some good news for you. After Ja
Sophie helped James to obtain a clue about the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword’s location.“Since the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword’s existence is linked to the many mysteries of this world, it should be a weapon above the Grand Emperor Rank. Since I’m not a Grand Emperor, I can’t pinpoint its exact location. All I could glean is the fact that you’ll have to travel to the Seafolk’s territory.”Sophie could not deduce the specific location of the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword but at least found a lead. This was more than enough to help James.James said gratefully, “Thanks, Ms. Sophie.”It would be much easier for James to find the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword with a hint about its location.He hurriedly left the Celestial Abode and returned to Sangria Palace. Then, he sent a subordinate to look for General Quinella.James sat in a lotus position on a rock in the palace’s backyard and looked into the distance.Soon, Quinella walked over to him.Surprisingly, she was not dressed in armor today bu
James did not explain much to Walganus. Instead, he said, “Just wait patiently.”After leaving Walganus with a few words, James returned to his room to rest.Meanwhile, Quinella had begun using Sangria’s intelligence networks to inquire about the Seafolk.The Seafolk were shut off from the rest of world. Most of them avoided revealing themselves, but there were a few exceptions to that rule. Although it was very uncommon, a few of them still wandered around the planet.Galileo was abundant in cultivators. Some of them would travel to the oceans to look for treasures. As such, some would accidentally trespass into the Seafolk’s territory.Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.Quinella had gathered some information about the Seafolk.“Your Majesty.”Quinella kneeled on one knee.James gently waved his hand and said, “Alright, you may rise.”Quinella stood up with James’ permission.“Do you have any news about the Seafolk?” asked James.Quinella nodded and replied, “Yes, Y
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
