James shouted, “Attack!”He immediately cast all the Secret Arts he had learned and entered his strongest combat state.Feb and Qusai also transformed into their true form, and their energies increased explosively.Maveth shouted from a distance, “You’re fighting me, Gorger.”He quickly transformed into a huge, golden ant and charged toward Feb.Feb avoided his attacks and looked for an opening to attack Matilde.“I’ll take you on, James.” Lucifer’s voice echoed, and he immediately charged at James with his Imperial Weapon.Swoosh!Dazzling Sword Energy burst forth.However, the Sword Energy merely cut James’ shadow. James’ real body was already charging directly at the Multicolored Flame Python, Matilde. Sword Energies continuously flew out from the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword. The Sword Energies contained terrifying Sword Intent, including Samadhi Sword Intent, Murderous Intent, and Sword Intent formed by James’ Sage Energy. The Sword Energies slammed into the Multicolor
After analyzing the situation, Lucifer began to look for opportunities to deal severe damage to James.However, James had the protection of the Infinity Steles and the Demonic Lotus petals that made up his armor. As such, Lucifer’s attacks were unable to deal much damage to James. Moreover, James deliberately avoided him, so it was hard to find an opening.Since he could not find an opportunity to attack James, he changed his target to Qusai. Lucifier’s strategy was to wear out Qusai’s crystal as much as he could or better yet, to eliminate him if it was possible.By doing so, he could even the odds against him in the following few levels.Qusai was focused on attacking the Multicolored Flame Python, when Lucifer suddenly intervened and started attacking him. He could not deal with both of them at once, so he turned his focus to Lucifer first.Seeing this, James quickly communicated Qusai telepathically, saying, “Be careful. Lucifer is a very tough opponent. Try to avoid fighting
“I’m sure it wasn’t easy to arrive here. All of you who have made it here are the best of the best in this age and are destined for greatness.“There is also a Supernatural Power in this arena.”The Guardian’s voice boomed through the arena, and everyone watched their surroundings intently to snatch the boon as soon as it appeared.“The Supernatural Power in this arena is called the Cultivation Encyclopedia. It’s a magical scripture that records various cultivation paths in detail.“The Jade Emperor himself wrote the scripture. He summoned all the powerhouses during the Ancient Heavenly Court Age and spent three epochs writing it. It’s a priceless treasure.”Hearing this, everyone listened excitedly.It was definitely a great treasure if the Jade Emperor gathered all the powerhouses of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age and took that long to transcribe everything. Meanwhile, James could not fathom how long three epochs were.At that moment, Feb noticed James’ confusion and walked
The treasure on this level of the arena was obtained by Qusai.The Cultivation Encyclopedia was valuable, and Qusai was glad he came to the Ancient Heavenly Court’s ruins. Even if he were to be eliminated now, he had no regret.At that moment, he felt his clan’s decision to befriend James was a wise move. He managed to obtain good fortune just by accompanying James. If he were to stand against James, he would never have had the chance to seize the Cultivation Encyclopedia.Lucifer was incredibly upset that Qusai managed to obtain the treasure.He wanted to claim all the remaining treasures for himself, but another person snatched it from under his nose.Maveth was also incredibly displeased.James looked at the others in the arena and deliberated on who they had to eliminate on this level.His gaze stopped on Maveth.Seeing James staring him down, Maveth immediately knew what James intended to do.“Why are you staring at me like that, James? Are you planning to eliminate me on
James thought for a while and said, “I don’t have any objections. Since everyone is fine with the arrangement, we’ll proceed as planned.”Qusai looked around and asked, “So, am I supposed to forfeit here?”James nodded lightly.Qusai laughed and said, “Alright. Since Maveth will be eliminated next, how about we fight each other? I’ll exhaust nearly all of your crystal’s energy, then you can knock me out.”This was a perfect opportunity for Maveth.Otherwise, he would be eliminated without even getting anything. Thus, he agreed happily.Maveth replied, “Okay.”After that, the two began to fight and wear out each other’s crystals.After Maveth’s crystal was left with very little energy, Qusai stopped attacking and allowed Maveth to deal the decisive blow to him.As such, Maveth easily eliminated Qusai.They were immediately moved to the proceeding level of the arena. The Guardian showed himself once more. He swept his gaze across the remaining people in the arena and flashed
The remaining contenders were teleported to the next level of the arena.As per their agreement, Feb was to be eliminated on this level.Then, James would fight Lucifer in the following arena. If he won, he would advance to the final level. All this time, Lucifer was secretly drawing up a plot against James.After this level, there were only a few more left.If he beat James, then the fortune on the 32nd stage and the providence on the final stage would belong to him.The Guardian appeared in the arena and smiled at the remaining people.Lucifer asked, “What’s on this level, Mr. Guardian?”The Guardian replied, “The Supernatural Power on this level is called Six Paths of Reincarnation.”“Six Paths of Reincarnation?”James, Lucifer, and Feb all reacted in shock.The Guardian nodded and said, “During the Ancient Heavenly Court Age, a powerful man reached a very high cultivation rank. He once entered the Land of Infinity and gained some profound knowledge. After he left the pl
The Guardian then vanished.Immediately afterward, a burst of colorful light appeared. James quickly walked over and held the treasure in his hand. It was a jade piece.He looked at the jade piece and found some mysterious words engraved on it. The unfamiliar characters moved like they were alive and kept flowing through the jade.James was unable to read the words.He did not bother trying to understand them and put the jade piece away into the Celestial Abode.After James had secured the Supernatural Power, Lucifer said, “Let out that girl, Brielle, from the Celestial Abode.”James then brought Brielle out of the Celestial Abode using his mind.As soon as Brielle appeared in the arena, she looked at the surroundings. She was stunned to see only Lucifer and James remained at this point. She quickly asked, “How did everything happen so fast? Are you and Lucifer the only ones left?”James gave a small smile and explained everything that had happened.Brielle immediately got a
Lucifer had been originally sealed away during the Primordial Age. James was the one who broke his seal and awakened him.After Lucifer was awakened, he actually had the strength to kill James. However, he could sense his father’s aura in James’ body and knew James had obtained his father’s Natal Lotus.As such, he chose not to eliminate James.In the following years, he fought against James twice. However, he lost both matches.This would be their third fight.Lucifer was confident in his victory this time.Although James had grown far more powerful and now had the skill to overwhelm the other prodigies of similar ages, Lucifer was still fully confident in his ability to defeat James.According to Lucifer’s original birth date, he should have been disqualified from seizing the providence.However, he was sealed before reaching his 20s. While he was sealed away, his aging was halted. Thus, he remained relatively young and was still eligible to seize the providence.“James.”
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
