The universe was vast and endless. Humans on Earth had always been researching the universe in the past, but they had yet to have a clear understanding of the solar system, let alone the universe.With scientific and technological means, even if thousands of years went by, Earth’s humans still could not understand the universe clearly.In the vast universe, there were seven Greater Realms. One of the seven Greater Realms was destroyed by humans during the Primeval Age. Now, only six realms were left.These six realms were named Greater Realms because all of these six realms were divided into three planes of existence. The three planes of existence were respectively Mortal, Sage, and Divine. Other planets did not have different planes of existence. However, although many planets were not divided into different planes of existence, they were still very powerful.In the vast universe, there were innumerable habitable planets for living beings.The providence of Earth’s Third Cala
Quintina was the daughter of the Ancient Clan’s Leader in the Ancient Realm.James spoke with her while he was in the Ancient Realm, but it had already been a long time since they last met.Quintina was a Grand Supernatural born with magical inscriptions within her body. A prodigy like her was destined for greatness even in the Apocalypse Age.Hearing a voice, Quintina stopped cultivating and raised her head to see the person approaching her. She was slightly taken aback to see James.After a few seconds, she stood up excitedly.“J-James?”James walked over to her. When he saw Quintina’s pale face, he immediately realized that the curse had taken a toll on her.“It’s really you, James!”Quintina stared at James intently. After confirming his identity, her pretty face lit up as she asked, “Where have you been for so long?”James replied, “I was off to train for a while.”He sat beside Quintina and asked, “What’s the current situation in Bane City?”Quintina’s expression immed
James had already assessed the strength of these troublemaking Foreigners before coming to Mount Bane.Henry and others were at the Sage Rank’s Fifteenth Stage, but they made their breakthroughs on Galileo where there were no seals on their body. As a result, their cultivation bases were fundamentally very unstable.They would only be around the Sage Rank’s Tenth Stage if they were to condense their cultivation base.That meant their strength would only be at the Sage Rank’s Tenth Stage had they actually reached the peak of each stage before breaking into the next.James had just become a Sage recently, and his strength was not comparable to that of a Tenth Rank Sage.Even if he used the Sacrilegious Ascension and activated the dragon bone’s power, his strength would still be lacking.However, his swordsmanship skills were far superior to his cultivation rank.Before he became a Sage, he killed a monster that was above the Sage Rank’s Tenth Stage on Galileo with just the First a
James’ blood was boiling.He never expected the Foreigners to be brazen enough to occupy Mount Bane.If he did not stop them, they would go on to take over the entire Earth.Mount Bane currently was the place that was most abundant in Spiritual Energy on Earth. Humans were cursed, so they needed to absorb Spiritual Energy to keep it at bay.James was determined to take back Mount Bane from these Foreigners.He glared at the soldiers blocking his path.The soldiers were relatively strong Sages. On Earth, they commanded a great amount of power. Even if they were compared to the Outsiders from the Three Thousand Worlds, these soldiers were also far above them.“You’ll make us regret it, huh?”One of the soldiers gave James a once-over.Although he could not verify James’ strength, he knew that James was a mere human from Earth. As long as the opponent was an Earth human, he had no hesitation in starting a fight with them.The soldier said disdainfully, “What are you going to do?
Naturally, James was overjoyed Thea had returned to Earth.It had been many long years since they had last been together.He was ecstatic to see her beautiful face and flawless figure again.However, there were many other important things that demanded his attention.The Foreign soldiers stood to the side, watching them as if they were clowns.James warned the soldiers again. “Get out of the way. I’m going to Bane City on Mount Bane.”“Hmph,” one of the soldiers snorted and ordered his subordinates, “Kill them.”Swoosh!The guards quickly surrounded them and drew their swords.Before James was able to act, Thea had already summoned the Malevolent Sword. She flicked it lightly, and a beam of Sword Light cleaved through the attacking soldiers.Thea had been training in the Demon Realm for so many years and had experienced countless close encounters with death. She was no longer the innocent girl she used to be in the past.Now, she was a force to be reckoned with.She attacke
“You shouldn’t let down your guard, Yorick. I’ve heard about a prodigy on Earth who obtained many excellent treasures. Even Lucifer of the Hadean Clan from the Demon Realm was defeated by this human.”One of the powerhouses in the hall reminded the man.“Haha!” The Athuran prodigy, Yorick, laughed out loud.“I acknowledge that Lucifer is a prodigy favored by the Heavenly Path. However, how could you compare the likes of him to me?”Yorick was confident and arrogant.“I know that you’re referring to James Caden. I’ve heard of him while in the Athura Realm. If he dares show himself, I’ll crush him in minutes. Anyway, the people who came to challenge us were from Wrymstead. I’ve already detained them and am waiting for James to arrive.”Yorick detained Henry and the others because they were James’ subordinates, and were also from Wrymstead. He wanted to use them to threaten James into showing himself.He planned to get rid of James and seize the fortunes he possessed.It was an
More than 10,000 foreign soldiers assembled outside Bane City’s gate.These soldiers were menacing and powerful auras emanating from them. This was evidently a result of years of fighting intense battles.Clop! Clop! Clop!A soldier on a horse rode up to them.The horse’s hooves thundered as it galloped over.Seeing this scene, James smiled playfully and said, “What a grand welcome.”Thea smiled silently beside him.The mounted soldier approached and stood ahead of the army. He looked at James’ entourage and said coldly, “Who are you? State your names.”His stern voice reverberated through the air.James smiled faintly and took a few steps forward, answering the soldier, “I’m James Caden. Who’s currently running Bane City? Hurry up and report my visit to them immediately.”James’ goal was not to start conflict but to negotiate. He would only retaliate if the negotiation failed.“James?”Hearing his name, the mounted soldier was taken aback.He was an Athuran and had hear
“I heard James strongest among all of Earth’s humans. I’d like to see if he lives up to his title.”After speaking, Yorick got up and walked out of the hall.Many of the creatures in the hall also followed suit.James waited at the city gate for about ten minutes until a group of people finally showed up. There were more than 500 people, all of which gave off imposing auras and were prodigies of different races from throughout the universe.The person in the lead was Yorick of the Authurans.After the group of creatures appeared, the surrounding guards immediately withdrew.James looked at the group and noticed Marcello and Jace among them. However, he did not greet them. After scanning the group, James looked at Yorick in the lead and smiled. “Who are you? Are you the one that chased humans out of Bane City and Mount Bane? Are you the one who’s in charge of Bane City?”Yorick looked at James.“That’s right. I’m the one that drove the weak humans out of Bane City. I wouldn’t ex
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
