Walganus only knew that this was the power of the curse. As for whether there was a human or some sort of living being here practicing Curse Magic, he could not be sure.James had encountered Curse Magic before. To his understanding, Curse Magic was merely a bizarre Supernatural Power that possessed immense power. Apart from that, he did not know much about Curse Magic. However, he was well aware that the Curse Magic he encountered was only superficial and elementary. In fact, even the Curse Magic practiced by the most powerful figures of the Demon Race was incomplete. In truth, the real Curse Magic was very terrifying.“Let’s head deeper into the Barren Wasteland,” James said.The three pressed on.After some time, the Blademaster suddenly felt a sense of discomfort coming from within his body. He stopped and gasped for air. “I-I can’t go on…”James looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”The Blademaster said, “I can sense a power suppressing me. I’m feeling a sense of discomfo
“I see.” Realization dawned on James’ face.Shaken, the Blademaster said, “The curse’s power is immensely malicious. Even I stand no chance against it. I’m afraid I cannot continue any further. I’ll leave everything to you two. I’m turning back now.”Fearful for his life, the Blademaster wanted to turn back.James nodded and said, “Mhm, this place is filled with evil. You should leave.”“I’ll be waiting outside.” Saying that, the Blademaster stood up and hurriedly fled.James and Walganus looked at one another.James asked, “I’m able to disregard the curse’s power here because I possess a Demonic Body. But, why aren’t you affected as well?”Walganus smiled faintly and said, “I’m no ordinary man. I was able to appear on Planet Galileo despite the seal on the planet. What can a mere curse do to me?”“True that.”James nodded.Since Walganus was full of secrets, James was not surprised that he was also able to disregard the curse’s power.He did not question him further.The t
James and Walganus continued to venture deep into the abandoned and desolate city. The city was huge, and although its buildings had collapsed, it was evident that it had once been a prosperous city a long time ago. The city was now eerily silent, and no sound could be heard.Clack! Clack! Clack!As they walked the streets, their footsteps broke the silence of the desolate city.“Hee hee hee…”At that moment, a peal of gloomy laughter echoed throughout the city. The two looked around at the same time, trying to locate the source of the sound. However, the sound seemed to be coming from all directions. The laughter was eerie and sinister, resembling a baby’s laughter and an elderly person’s low chuckle at the same time.“This is creepy alright.” Furrowing his eyebrows, Walganus reminded James, “Be on your guard. I have a feeling that this city’s inhabited.”James sensed his surroundings. However, there were no signs of life at all.“I agree.” James nodded.Then, he scanned his s
The moment they opened the door, a shadow came charging toward them.Walganus hurriedly raised his arms to block the shadow’s attack, and their palms collided.Before James could react, he felt a powerful force sending him flying out of the City Lord’s Mansion. Then, Walganus was sent flying as well. When he rushed into the City Lord’s Mansion once more, the shadow had already disappeared.James froze, stunned by Walganus’ strength. To his understanding, Walganus was only at the early stages of the Sage Rank. However, the strength he demonstrated was far greater. The battle wave generated when their palms collided sent James flying and caused the Blood Energy inside his body to churn. Walganus’ strength was far greater than what James initially expected.After freezing momentarily, James charged in as well.Upon entering, he saw Walganus standing there, scanning his surroundings.James asked, “What just happened?”Wearing a grim expression, Walganus shook his head and said, “The
Walganus shook his head. Currently, he had no idea who the person concealed in the shadows was. Did he consume the Sea Race’s divine object and surpass his lifespan limit or did he accomplish this through cultivation alone? The only thing Walganus knew was that the person possessed immense power.“Let’s go and have a look.” James looked at the City Lord’s Mansion and said, “This person must have been observing us from the shadows. Since he only appeared a moment ago to obstruct our path, there must be something in here that he doesn’t want us to see.”“Mhm.”Walganus nodded and said, “Be on your guard. This person is incredibly strong. Even I might not be a match for him.”James smiled and said, “There’s nothing for me to worry about with you by my side.”James believed that everything was not as simple as it seemed. Walganus’ strength must have been even greater than that of the Sage Rank’s Thirty-sixth Stage.Walagnus warned, “In any case, we shouldn’t let our guard down.”“Go
Shielded by a golden light, he was engaged in a fierce battle against the man.From afar, James spectated the battle. Soon, Walganus was defeated. He was sent flying from the city and crashed heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the man did not pursue him.Seeing this, James hurriedly rushed over to Walganus’ side. By the time he arrived, Walganus was already sitting in a lotus position on the ground. There were blood traces on his lips, and his face was pale.“Are you alright?”James asked.Wearing a grim expression, Walganus said, “He’s too powerful. There’s no way he’s a cultivator at the Divine Rank’s First Stage. He might have already reached the peak.”“I’m asking if you’re alright.”“I only suffered minor injuries. I should be fine after some rest.”Walganus was injured. However, his injuries were minor, and he only needed some rest.James waited by his side. At the same time, as he gazed at the city in the distance, he was puzzled. There was not a single living bein
They were immediately engaged in dialogue the moment they met. From their conversation, they seemed to be acquainted. James was puzzled.He knew that Sophie hailed from the Ancient Heavenly Court Age, and her father was the war god of the Ancient Heavenly Court. How could she be acquainted with Walganus? Could Walganus be someone from the Ancient Heavenly Court as well?He looked at the two puzzledly.Sophie smiled and said, “His name isn’t Walganus Jaxon. He’s originally called Hilarius Yahir, the son of the Jade Emperor in the Ancient Heavenly Court Age. He was nicknamed the Prince, and he was a prodigy in his time.”Sophie explained Walganus’ background with a smile.Meanwhile, Walganus only smiled faintly.“That was in the past. Hilarius Yahir no longer exists. Now, I’m Walganus Jaxon.”James glanced at Walganus. He never thought that Walganus would be the son of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age’s Jade Emperor who possessed the bloodline of a Grand Emperor.“How did you sur
James froze.“Yes.”Sophie nodded and said, “Your body has been reshaped by the Natal Demonic Lotus of a Grand Emperor. Besides that, the Grand Emperor of the Hadean Clan in the Primordial Age, Xacobe Menachem, practices an incomplete Curse Magic. As the Demonic Energy inside your body has the same origins as the curse’s power, you should be able to remove the curse in his body. Not only that, but you can even absorb the curse and evolve the Demonic Lotus in your body.”Hearing this, James nodded and said, “I’ll try.”Saying that, he walked toward the man. Standing before him, he could sense the malevolent aura emanating from the man’s body, which was immense. The reason why the Barren Wasteland radiated evil energy and was devoid of life and why no living creature dared to approach the place was all due to the curse’s power in his body. As he experienced Energy Deviation and lost his sanity, he was unable to effectively control the curse in his body, causing it to spread out and f
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
