First, he genuinely wished to befriend James. Second, with his current providence, he was still unable to handle all of James’ possession and abilities. Currently, he only wanted to observe the swordsmanship of the Ancestral Sword Master and the Curse Magic of the Ancestral Talisman Master.James fell into deep contemplation. After thinking for a while, he took out the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal and tossed them casually to Walganus, saying, “I’ll leave in about five days. You have five days to comprehend whatever you can from these two treasures. Everything depends on your fortune.”Walganus received the Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal and said, “I promise I’ll return them in five days.”Saying that, he turned to leave.After he left, James’ expression turned grim, and he sought Sophie’s advice. “Sophie, what kind of person is Walganus Jaxon, known as Hailarius Yahir to you?”Soon, Sophie’s voice came. She said, “This was during the Ancient Heav
Since Winnie was adamant about traveling the universe to train, James had no choice but to let her be. Now that Winnie and Delainey were back, it was time to leave. After putting them into the Celestial Abode, he turned to leave. He went in search of Walganus to ask him to return the Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal.Meanwhile, at the Seafolk’s Blade Sect…Falco Barrett, the Grand Patriarch of the Blade Sect, was sitting on the throne. He was an extremely powerful figure who had reached the Divine Rank’s Third Stage and was only a step away from becoming a Quasi-Emperor. This meant that he could possibly be the most powerful individual on Planet Galileo.Back then, he handed the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword to James in the hopes that he would release the seal of the Sword Pavilion and obtain unparalleled swordsmanship inheritance. He was uninterested in the Curse magic. Since the seal on this world was gone, he could assume that James had removed the seal on Planet Galileo and
A soft white light flashed on James’ ring, and a beautiful woman immediately appeared before him. Sophie’s face darkened as she looked at Falco with a hint of contempt in her expression.“A cultivator at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage dares to act so impudently?”Falco glanced at Sophie. He could sense her exuding an extraordinary aura.“A-A Quasi-Emperor?”Stunned, he staggered backward and stared at Sophie cautiously.“Scram!” Sophie said coldly.Falco was reluctant to do so. He never expected James would have a Quasi-Emperor by his side. Moreover, this Quasi-Emperor was merely a step away from reaching the Grand Emperor Rank. However, he was unwilling to give up just yet. The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword was an unparalleled weapon. If he could possess the sword, he could stand a chance against Sophie.“The Divine Sword belongs to me. He only borrowed the sword from me. Am I wrong to take back what’s mine?”He glared at Sophie and uttered word by word.Sophie, meanwhile, said co
In a seating area in the courtyard of Sangria Palace, James looked at the stunningly beautiful Xianna, who was dressed in gorgeous attire, and said, “Your Majesty…”The moment he spoke, Xianna waved her hand slightly and interrupted him, saying, “I’m no longer the Empress of Sangria. You are the Emperor of this kingdom.”James said, “Becoming the Emperor was only a temporary measure. I became the Emperor in order to break the seal of the Sword Pavilion and lift the curse on Sangria. Now that these tasks have been accomplished, I intend to leave.”“Leave?” Xianna looked at James puzzledly.“Mhm.” James nodded and answered her truthfully, “I’m not a human being from Planet Galileo. I came from Earth, the Human Realm long ago. Of course, this must be unfamiliar to you. However, since the seal on Planet Galileo has been removed and the curse has disappeared, all living beings on the planet can now leave. Though this place is far away from Earth, and you won’t be able to traverse the un
It was Sophie.Sophie appeared before James and looked at him, asking, “Are you ready?”“Mhm.” James nodded and said, “I’m ready. But before you leave, I have a favor to ask of you.”Sophie said, “Name it.”James said, “I fled the Demon Realm alongside Henrik and Qusai, but only I arrived at Planet Galileo. They vanished without a trace. Before I leave, I’d like you to divine where they are.”Henrik and Qusai were James’ sworn brothers. All this while, James had been worried about their safety. Though he requested Sangria to search for them, nothing came to fruition. So, he guessed that they were not on Galileo and had gone elsewhere.Sophie nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll help you out.”Then, sitting in a lotus position in the void, she activated the Extrapolation Art. A mysterious formation appeared before her. It was created by countless mysterious characters, and these characters were constantly changing and exuding a mysterious power.After approximately five minutes, Sophie
James entered the void passageway and advanced at great speed. Approximately ten minutes later, he saw the end of the passage. As he took another step forward, he emerged from the passage and appeared in a vast and twinkling starry sky where darkness surrounded him. He could not even see his own hand in front of him. He looked around and saw a glimmer of light. Moving swiftly toward it, the light grew larger and larger until he finally saw a blue planet—Earth.It was Earth.Upon seeing Earth, James was uncontrollably nervous. After leaving for so long, he was finally back. He wondered what Earth was like now after so much time had passed. Filled with consternation, he slowly approached Earth.“I’m now only a step away from reaching the Sage Rank. Before returning to Earth, I should achieve a breakthrough.”As James approached Earth, he murmured.Then, glancing at the moon, his body flashed, and he immediately flew toward the moon. Soon, he landed on the moon, arriving at an unkn
Meanwhile, the cultivators from the Three-Thousand Worlds gathered at Bane CIty and entered closed-door meditations, paying no heed to the earthlings.At that moment, in Bane City…As time passed, more and more cultivators from the Three-Thousand Worlds traversed through the seal and appeared on Earth, which led to overcrowding in the city. Despite being a medium-sized city, more than 100 million cultivators had gathered there. The streets in Bane City were overcrowded with people.“Argh!”Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream came from the streets. As the scream reverberated throughout the area, a man suddenly collapsed to the ground and rolled on the floor.“What’s wrong?”“What happened?”…Dumbfounded, many watched the man puzzledly from afar.The man who collapsed to the ground kept scratching his body as he rolled, tearing his skin and leaving bloody marks. His hair was disheveled, and his face was contorted with bulging veins. Many people gathered around him but did not
On the moon…James was sitting in a lotus position in a desolate area as he focused all his efforts on breaking the seal. After trying innumerable times, the seal showed signs of loosening. Based on his current speed, he would be able to break the first seal shortly.However, at that moment…“What?”He suddenly sensed an extraordinary power inside his body. This power was somewhat familiar to him, yet also foreign at the same time. Though he had encountered similar powers before, he had no idea why this power suddenly appeared inside his body. It was the power of a curse.As James was earnestly breaking through the seal, he suddenly felt the curse’s power emerge from within him. This power was different from the curse others cultivated, which he could absorb. He could not absorb this power.‘The power of a curse?‘How can this be?’James was puzzled.Just as he was puzzled, the curse began destroying his body ferociously. Now that there was a seal inside his body, he could n
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
