James’ Yogacara was an invincible Sword Energy that was left by the Ancestral Sword Master of the Primeval Age, and possessed the power to destroy worlds.The Sword Energy had become James’ Yogacara. James’ strength reached the Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage, but he could barely utilise the Yogacara’s power.“I’m going in.”The Blademaster of Mount Grinch uttered at James and shot up.The black dragon soared into the sky ahead of them, and its body began to be enshrouded by black clouds. It swiftly moved through the clouds and roared.Its deafening roar caused waves to roil on the sea’s surface.As soon as the Blademaster of Mount Grinch appeared, the black dragon launched a fierce attack at him. It swept its massive tail and evoked a gigantic tsunami.Huge waves about 10,000 meters roiled up in the sea below them.The dragon’s tail swept the tsunami forward.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch was not a weak man. He raised his sword and casually waved it to form thousands of Swor
The moment the shadows merged, they formed a gargantuan silhouette in the sky. James hurtled from the sky and plunged his long sword into the black dragon’s body.Time seemed to freeze for the few seconds that followed.A few seconds later, time seemed to have fast-forwarded.James’ sword had completely pierced through the black dragon’s body, and James could be seen under the black dragon.James’ afterimage could not keep up with James’ own speed. Many of his shadow clones trailed close behind James and fused into his body. Boom!The sound of a loud explosion rocked the air.Thousands of Sword Energies erupted from the black dragon’s body, tearing it apart from the inside. The black dragon could not withstand the Sword Energies’ damage and exploded, turning into nothingness and vanishing from sight.The black dragon disappeared after it was defeated.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch looked at James with widened eyes.“You… What kind of sword technique is that?”The Bladem
James had great admiration for the Ancestral Sword Master’s swordsmanship. After he obtained such a splendid technique, he no longer had anyone to fear.Having practiced such powerful swordsmanship, James had no fear, regardless of how challenging the Earth’s Third Calamity would be. James was confident he could guide the humans on Earth through the calamity.The flying battleship smoothly sailed over the ocean.The rest of the journey went by without encountering any other fangers.Another three months passed in the blink of an eye.Suddenly, the battleship came to a stop.James was cultivating in his room, trying to better comprehend the swordsmanship he had learned.A knock came on his door.He got up and opened it.An old man stood outside his room. He wore a gray robe and had a white beard. The old man looked at James respectfully and said, “Mr. Caden, we’ll reach the Seafolk’s domain soon.”“Mhm.” James nodded and walked out of the room. The two of them walked onto
James rolled his eyes at Walganus’ words. He could not be bothered to respond to Walganus. He turned to Yanina and asked, “Do you sense the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword’s energy?”Yanina shook her head and said, “No.”James frowned and said, “No? Aren’t you supposed to be able to sense if you get close to it since you mastered the Propitious Crepe Myrtle technique?”Yanina said, “That’s true, but I don’t sense the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword here. There’s only one explanation for it, that is, the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword isn’t in Seafolk territory.”James shook his head and said, “Impossible. I’ve obtained reliable information that the sword is here.”Walganus asked, “Who provided you with the information, James? Since you’re from Earth and not someone from Galileo, it’s strange that you know about its whereabouts after only being on this planet for a short time.”“You don’t have to worry about that. I’m confident the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword is here,” James said firmly.Sophie o
The old man looked at James and the others but did not say much. He turned to the man in the golden robe and ordered, “The three of them are guests, so treat them courteously and don’t neglect them. If word gets out about your behavior, it’ll tarnish the Seafolk’s reputation.”The man in the golden robe replied respectfully, “Understood, Elder.”The old man looked back at James’ party and said, “Please leave immediately after you’ve restocked your supplies.”“Yes, of course.” James immediately agreed.The old man did not say much and quickly departed.The man in the golden robe looked at the three and said calmly, “Let’s go.” Then, he turned and walked into the island.James and the others followed behind him.The golden-robed man led the three of them deep into the island. Soon, they arrived at a city.He said coldly, “You can buy everything you need in this city. After you’ve purchased your supplies, please leave immediately. Or else…”James nodded.Then, he observed the
James shrugged and said, “How would I know? That man may be young but, he is relatively strong. There must be a lot of strong people among the Seafolk. I don’t think we should take forceful action here. We should return to the city and devise a better plan.”“There’s nothing else we can do for now it seems.” Walganus could not come up with a different plan.Therefore, three returned to the city. After they entered the city, they noticed the man in the golden robe had been tailing them.The three kept up with their act and bought healing elixirs as well as other supplies in the city.Afterward, they headed to a bar, sat at a corner table, and ordered some wine. They slowly drank their wine as they began to formulate a new plan.Walganus looked at their stalkyer nearby with a look of annoyance on his face. He said, “That guy has been following us nonstop. I really want to just kill him.”James chuckled and asked, “Can you really though?”Walganus replied embarrassedly, “I don’
James whispered a few words to Walganus and Yanina.Their faces immediately lit up with joy.Walganus nodded and said, “Yeah! That’ll definitely work!”James stood up and walked toward the man in the golden robe nearby. He clasped his hands and said, “My name is James Caden. Many years ago, a cultivator entered the Seafolk’s territory and learned unrivaled swordsmanship from the Seafolk. Since I’m also a swordsman, I came to challenge the Seafolk after learning about the spectacular swordsmanship the Sealfolk possess.”Hearing this, the man in the golden robe stood up and sneered. “You want to challenge the Seafolk?”James answered him seriously, “Yes.”“... And you’re planning on doing so with your current strength?”The man in the golden robes analyzed James’ strength. James did not conceal his energy, allowing the man to discern his cultivation rank. The man deduced that James was only at the Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage and found out he had not even reached the Sage Rank y
Sheldon gripped his sword’s sheath and slowly drew his sword which released powerful Sword Energy. His weapon was not an ordinary sword. As the sharp blade slid out of the sheath, its blade glimmered with bright and potent energy.He pointed his sword at James and said with a mocking smile, “Your name is James Caden, right? Remember my name. I’m Sheldon Hughes and I’m a disciple of the Seafolk’s Blade Sect.”James did not know much about the Seafolk nor what kind of existence was the Blade Sect.However, he could tell Sheldon was very skilled in swordsmanship.As soon as Sheldon unsheathed his long sword, his aura instantly changed.The energy emanating from his body flared aggressively like a barely contained beast.“The swordsmanship you practice is very dangerous, Sheldon.”After sensing his opponent’s aura, James could not help but remind him, “I suggest you stop practicing it, or you might lose control.”“Haha!” Sheldon laughed.“Who do you think you are? You aren’t eve
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
