James’ Emperor Rank alchemy furnace had created a commotion, and even Myrddin, a Divine Rank alchemist, was stunned. He never expected there to be an Emperor Rank alchemy furnace in the Stardust Realm. It was simply too terrifying.After some time, he collected himself, stood up, and walked toward James. Standing before James, he gazed at the levitating alchemy furnace before him. As he gazed at the mysterious symbols and inscriptions on the bronze-colored alchemy furnace, his mind wandered off elsewhere as he drifted off to the world of the mysterious symbols.After some time, he collected himself and praised, “What a mysterious Alchemy Way and inscription! This is unbelievable! With such an alchemy furnace, what elixir can you not concoct?”Though he was a Divine Rank alchemist, he understood that the inscription and Alchemy Way inscribed on the alchemy furnace were simply too far beyond his reach. He turned around and greeted James respectfully, “Master.”At that moment, tossing
James paid no heed to the others’ gazes and concentrated on the herbs he chose. As he casually waved his hand, a herb flew into the alchemy furnace. The moment the herb entered the alchemy furnace, the formation inscribed on the furnace was immediately activated. Some mysterious inscriptions materialized to form threads of golden lines that enveloped the herb. When the formation activated, the herb was enveloped by the mysterious inscription. At that moment, James could clearly sense every component of the herb as he began catalyzing Genesis True Fire. He planned to use the flames of the Genesis True Fire to refine the herb. Originally, he should not be able to concoct an elixir at the Sage Rank’s Tenth Grade with his alchemy level. However, with the Emperor Rank alchemy furnace, he could do so easily.Soon, the components of the first herb were fully extracted.“A piece of cake.”James breathed a sigh of relief. With the Emperor Rank alchemy furnace, there was nothing else he was
Since James was an alchemist who could concoct a Divine Rank elixir by using a Sage Rank’s FIfteenth Grade herb, he was certainly not someone to be trifled with. So, he was extremely polite toward James.“James, since you’ve only just finished concocting an elixir, you must be fatigued. Let me escort you to a rest area.”After James demonstrated his Emperor Rank alchemy furnace and concocted a Divine Rank elixir, Daley was very respectful toward him. Not just Daley, but even Myrddin wanted to curry favor with James. That was because James not only had an Emperor Rank alchemy furnace, but he even possessed terrifying alchemy skills. Some of the techniques he used had already been long lost. If James could offer him guidance, his alchemy skills could increase by leaps and bounds.James did not feel tired. However, since he had already won, there was no point in staying here. With Daley’s guidance, he was brought to a magnificent courtyard in the city.In the courtyard, James asked, “
‘Don't tell me that the mysterious river I came across before I arrived at the Boundless Realm was the River of Time…’James’ eyes bulged, unable to believe that this was happening.“Yes,” the Spirit Tool said, “He must be afraid that we’re running out of time. That’s why he thought of a plan like this. For now, you should have ample time to look for an Ancestral God elixir.”Hearing this, realization dawned on James’ face.Daley was standing beside James. Seeing that he remained silent, he fell silent too.The two did not utter a single word for a minute.A minute later, Daley asked, “J-James?”James collected himself and glanced at him, asking, “Is something the matter?”“I-I…” Daley stammered.James said, “Please speak freely.”After brief contemplation, Daley believed that he should tell James about this so that he could assist him.“As you know, the Stardust Realm is currently facing a crisis.”James asked, “Are you referring to the grudge between the Stardust Realm an
Daley had no idea whether reincarnation existed in this world. Everything he knew about the Reincarnation Pond was legends passed down from long ago. As such, he could not be sure about their authenticity. The only thing he knew was that Melinda possessed immense potential.“Can you take me to the Reincarnation Pond?”James was interested in the Reincarnation Pond. Since he had traveled to the past and had ample time to search for the Ancestral God elixir, not to mention that the Elixir Pavilion’s examination would only begin three thousand years in the future, he had nothing else to do at the moment.“Sure.” Daley did not turn down his request.With Daley’s guidance, James left Stardust City.Stardust City was huge. Even with his current strength, James could not hope to traverse such a huge distance. So, he could only rely on the Teleportation Formation, which even Daley the Lord of the Stardust Realm, used.After arriving at another city, Daley brought James into a mountain ra
Upon his arrival, James immediately heard the sound of a harp. The sound was melodious and pleasing to the ears. Yet, there was a hint of melancholy and solitude in the music.As Daley walked toward Melinda, he called out to her, “Melinda.”The music stopped abruptly as Melinda stood up. As she looked at the approaching Daley and James, her gaze was fixed on the latter. An indiscernible smile crept up on her glamorous-looking face.“Father, ” Melinda turned to look at Daley and greeted him.Her voice was sweet and melodious.James looked at Melinda, the girl with unknown origins. She was gorgeous. Not only did she have a perfect figure, but her features were fine and delicate, and not a single flaw could be found. James was in awe at her beauty for he had never seen anyone as beautiful as her.Seeing that James was staring at her, Melinda did not act embarrassed. Instead, she smiled calmly and confidently asked, “Had your fill?”When she smiled, two shallow dimples appeared at t
Melinda could not care less whether James was willing to listen to her melody. As she took a seat, she placed her slender fingers on the harp, gently plucking the strings of the harp. At that moment, a melodious tune reverberated throughout the area.James was an unrefined brute who had no appreciation for music whatsoever. Even so, he could tell that the tune was melodious. From the sound of the harp, he could also sense melancholy and sadness. Soon, the song came to an end.Melinda stopped and glanced at James, clearing her throat and saying, “Since you don’t have any more business here, please leave.”She ordered James to leave.James said, “I heard from Lord Daley that the Young Master of the Overworld had taken a liking to you. For your sake, the Overworld is about to invade the Stardust Realm. Does the Overworld know about your past and that you were reincarnated?”Melinda smiled and said, “The so-called Young Master of the Overworld is only interested in my beautiful appear
“Spirit Tool, where do you think Thea is at the moment?”The Spirit Tool said, “Hard to say. The River of Time is terrifying. It is connected to the past, present, and future. In normal circumstances, no one can pass through the River of Time. However, as wisdom knows no boundaries, humans have managed to invent many treasures that go against the Heavenly Path. The treasures allow one to return to the past or travel into the future as they please. Even so, accidents may occur during the transportation process. My theory is that Xandros doesn’t know much about the Time Capsule, and thus couldn’t control time accurately. This caused you to be separated from Thea. She might have arrived at the Boundless Realm at a different time.”Hearing this, James fell silent. After some time, he asked, “If Thea arrived at a time ten thousand years earlier than mine, does that mean that we’ll meet after she spends ten thousand years in the Boundless Realm?”The Spirit Tool said, “Theoretically, yes.
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
