James was fine with lending it to Walganus.“Alright, then, it’s a promise!”After James agreed, Walganus’ furrowed brows finally relaxed.His father created the Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts, so how could he not learn it?After reaching an agreement, James walked over to Thea and asked, “What’s the situation on Earth now, Thea? Did anything major happen?”Frowning, Thea replied, “There haven’t been any major events. However, there are casualties every day due to the curse. Many of which include humans from the Three Thousand Worlds.”James was unable to solve the curse for now.His strength was limited, and he could not resolve everyone’s curse.He could only count on the group of hidden powerhouses on Earth to develop an elixir to suppress the curse as soon as possible. After the elixir was successfully developed, it would temporarily resolve the problem.“Alright. You should head back to Wyrmstead first. I’ll go and meet the custodian at the Chamber of Scriptures on Mount
The custodian said, “The Ancestral God Rank elixir.”James was slightly confused.“The Ancestral God Rank elixir? What’s that?The custodian explained, “When the Earth’s Third Calamity struck, the Human Realm’s Lord, Xandros, left the Demon Realm and returned to Earth. He has gained insight into the Fourth Calamity and learned it would exterminate humanity. There is only one way to save humanity, which is to find the Ancestral God Rank elixir.”Puzzled, James asked, “Cut to the chase, Ms. Custodian. What exactly is this Ancestral God Rank Elixir? Could one immediately have the strength of an Ancestral God after consuming it?”“The custodian nodded and said, “Yeah, that’s right. After consuming the Ancestral God Rank elixir, one can temporarily obtain the strength of an individual at the Ancestral God Rank. As of now, only by reaching the Ancestral God Rank can humanity survive the Fourth Calamity.“However, According to Xandros and the other powerhouses’ calculations, Heaven's Ad
The custodian, Yaraka Xenmour, had already told James that if he wanted to resolve the earth’s Fourth Calamity, he would need to find the Ancestral God Rank elixir.However, James was slightly unaware of the details.Xandros said sorrowfully, “Some time ago, I divined the Fourth Calamity’s details with some of the other human powerhouses. The Heaven's Adjudicators that have disappeared for several ages will reappear. They’ll come to Earth with the Scythe of Judgment and carry out humanity’s last judgment.”James’ brows furrowed, and he asked, “Last judgment? What mistakes did humans make? Why do we have to be judged?”Xandros replied, “It’s a very long story, and it will take me a long time to explain everything. All you need to know is these Heaven's Adjudicators are terrifyingly strong. Even Grand Emperors don’t stand a chance against them. Only Ancestral Gods stand a chance against Heaven's Adjudicators.“However, all Ancestral Gods have long been deceased. There weren’t any mo
“Huff!” Xandros took a deep breath and said, “You must be thinking why I’m not going myself but sending you, right?”James indeed had doubts in his heart. Hearing Xandros bring it up, James looked at him and asked, “Yeah, why?”Xandros explained, “Everything has been destined long ago. You’re the most suitable person.”“Destined long ago?” James was slightly taken aback. Xandros waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to ask too many questions. Head back first. Yaraka will come for you when it’s time, and you can head to the Boundless Realm with Thea.”“Alright.” James nodded.Xandros gently waved his hand and said, “Okay, you can go for now. Yaraka, bring him back.”Yaraka nodded.Immediately afterward, Yaraka led James out of the unknown realm, and they crossed through the cracked seal. Soon, they returned to Earth.James and Yaraka walked side by side on Mount Tai.He smiled and said, “Ms. Custodian, your name is Yaraka? If I didn’t hear Sir Tegan addressing you that way
Since a Scythe of Judgment had awakened in Winnie’s body, she would become a Heaven’s Adjudicator sooner or later.Although James refused for it to happen, there was no way to stop it.He could only hope that Winnie would not be one of the Heaven’s Adjudicators to appear during the Fourth Calamity. If it were Winnie, then they would stand on opposite sides.He had no idea what to do with his daughter on one side and humans on the other.James took a deep breath and stopped thinking about these complicated issues.He looked at Thea and said, “To resolve the Fourth Calamity, we need to find the Ancestral God Rank elixir located in the Boundless Realm. The group of hidden powerhouses requested us to go to the Boundless Realm to find the Ancestral God Rank elixir and bring it back to Earth.”Thea held James’ hand and said firmly, “No matter what you do, I’ll always support you. As long as you’re willing to have me, I’ll follow you anywhere.”James nodded and said, “Mhm. I don’t know
Yaraka waved her hand, and a strong force emerged from her palm. The force surrounded James and Thea. They felt their vision blur, and when they regained their sight, they were already in an unfamiliar place.They had arrived in one of the realms in the Three Thousand Worlds.The palace had beautiful mountains and clear water. It also had abundant Spiritual Energy and spectacular scenery. It was the perfect place to cultivate.A handsome man sat in a lotus position on an open space on a mountaintop.It was the Human Realm’s Lord, Xandros. He was also a powerful Grand Emperor.For Xandros to become the Human Realm’s Lord, he must have had very high attainments to surpass the other Grand Emperors in strength.Yaraka led James and Thea up the mountain and stopped near Xandros. Yaraka held out her hand, signaling James and Thea to stay in place. She took a few steps forward and called out, “Xandros.”Xandros sitting in a lotus position opened his eyes slightly. Seeing that Yaraka
After Xandros briefly explained things to them, he disappeared from the mountain.Yaraka casually waved her hand and laid out a Time Formation. She looked at James and Thea, saying, “I’ll teach you how to read Elysian characters. Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible to teach Elysian characters. One will have to gradually comprehend it alone.”Elysian characters were a very mysterious existence. Most of the well-known Supernatural Powers were recorded with Elysian characters.Usually, Elysian characters could not be taught. One would have to reach a certain level of cultivation and understand it with one’s own wisdom. However, human knowledge was endless.A Grand Emperor had an infinite lifespan.Thus, they specifically researched Elysian characters in their long years.James was very excited after hearing that Yaraka would be teaching them Elysian characters.Yaraka stood before James and Thea and began the lesson.“Elysian characters are very mysterious. Every character
James nodded lightly and asked, “When do we leave?”Xandros replied, “Right now. I’ll personally send you to the seal of the Boundless Realm.”After speaking, Xandros casually waved his hand, and a miraculous force emerged from his palm and surrounded James and Thea. Then, a crack formed in the space before them.Xandros leaped toward the crack with a flash.He brought James and Thea through space and out into the universe.The universe was silent, which made it seem terrifying.Suddenly, a crack formed in the space. Xandros, Thea, and James came out of the crack.As soon as James appeared in the starry universe, he looked ahead and saw the countless planets.“Have we arrived?” asked James.Xandros nodded, pointed ahead of them, and said, “Yeah. That’s the Boundless Realm.”Thea also looked toward the planets.Xandros explained, “The Boundless Realm isn’t a single planet but a collective name for a few planets. It’s currently sealed off, and both of you need to work together
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
