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 man pointed at the courtyard and said, “The Imperial Jade Seal is in the courtyard.”“Let’s have a look.”James headed toward the courtyard immediately.Meanwhile, Sophie did not linger long in the outside world. Transforming into a faint glow, she disappeared without a trace and reappeared in the Celestial Abode in the next instant.In the City Lord’s Mansion’s courtyard…In an open area, a large rune floated in the air about twenty meters above the ground. The rune depicted a black dragon head with some mysterious characters below it.“Is this the Imperial Jade Seal?”James looked at the floating rune. The rune was large, about twenty meters in length, and was entirely black, emitting a black light along with an extremely terrifying aura. This aura was the curse’s power.“That’s right.”The man who followed after James said, “This is the Imperial Jade Seal which I obtained by chance. I learned the unparalleled Curse Magic. Unfortunately, I was unable to control the curse
James looked at Walganus and said, “Let’s get going, then.”Walganus nodded.They hurriedly left the area. After leaving the Barren Wasteland, they met up with the Blademaster of Mount Grinch and left for Sangria through the airship.Shortly, they arrived at the border of Sangria.The Blademaster stopped and said, “Since there’s a curse in Sangria, I won’t be following you two from here. I hope you can remove Sangria and this world’s curses. By then, you’ll be the saviors of this world, and everyone will be eternally grateful for your deeds.”James clasped his fists and said, “No trouble at all.”He saved the formalities and turned to leave.The moment he arrived at Sangria, he was immediately spotted by Korinth’s scouts.At that moment, in the courtyard of the Korinthian Palace, Xandalous appeared before a simple wooden house and greeted respectfully, “Grand Patriarch…”Creak…The door opened, and an elderly man walked out. Wearing a grey robe, the elderly man’s hair was com
Earth would experience four calamities.The First Calamity annihilated many ordinary people but had no effect on cultivators. The Second Calamity, which was deemed as an apocalypse, was resolved by James. However, James was unable to remove the seals within humanity’s bodies. To achieve a breakthrough, humans needed to break the seals. It could only be accomplished by reaching the pinnacle of each rank. Meanwhile, there was only a handful of humans who could accomplish such a feat.The Third Calamity would be a Curse Calamity.Though James had no idea what a Curse Calamity would be, he could imagine that it would be far more terrifying than the previous ones.After returning to Sangria, James, and Walganus hurriedly made their way toward the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion. They arrived in just a few short days.At the main hall of the Sword Pavilon’s main peak, James asked, “I have brought the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword here. How do we break the Sword Pavilion’s seal? Where is the sea
He planned to return the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal to the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion and Sangria after removing both the seal and the curse. However, Walagnus had no idea what was on his mind.“Don’t tell me that you plan on taking them for yourself, James. The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword is an Ancestral God Weapon that is unrivaled even in the Primordial Age, let alone the contemporary age. By possessing the weapon, the cultivation journey will be a breeze. Meanwhile, the Imperial Jade Seal is closely connected with Curse Magic. Its power is comparable to an Ancestral God Weapon. I’m now giving you the privilege to choose one for yourself.”Walganus looked at James.However, James seemed to be daydreaming, unwilling to make a decision. Guessing that James wanted everything for himself, Walganus smiled and said, “Do you seriously wish to have everything for yourself?”James said, “The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword belongs to the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion
The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal had been long lost. For eons, the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion and Sangria had never once given up on searching for them. However, despite the long passage of time, they were unable to locate their whereabouts. However, after James arrived at Sangria and became the Emperor for a short period of time, he managed to find the Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal, a feat Xanthe and Xianna found hard to believe.Under their expectant gazes, James took out the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and casually tossed it to Xanthe. Then, he took out the Imperial Jade Seal and threw it to Xianna.“Are these the correct items?”As Xanthe scrutinized the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword, she also imbued Sage Energy into the sword. At that moment, the sword emitted a dazzling purple light, and an immense power was awakened.“Yes, this is the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword of the Sword Pavilion that has been long lost!” She exclaimed.Xianna held the Imperia
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
