At the same time, he made an inquiry to the Spirit Tool in the Celestial Abode.“Spirit Tool, is there a possibility that Xainte is my daughter?” James asked the Spirit Tool in the Celestial Abode.It was a bold notion. However, when he was approaching Xainte, he felt some sort of bloodline connection. It was an absurd idea since he had not done that with Thea in a very long time.Furthermore, before coming to the Boundless Realm, he spent some time in closed-door meditation with Thea, studying Elysian characters and even cultivating in seclusion. Immediately after that, they came to the Boundless Realm.It did not line up in terms of timing. Xainte could not possibly be his daughter.All of James’s experiences were known to the Spirit Tool.After giving it some thought, the Spirit Tool said, “Mhm. It is possible.”“It’s possible?” James was immediately delighted.Spirit Tool explained, “Ten months of pregnancy is only for typical humans. The stronger the cultivation base, the
The Great Wilderness was far too big. It was extremely difficult for James to find Xainte in the vast mountain range of the Great Wilderness.He stood on top of a mountain and started to ponder.If he wanted to find Xainte, he needed to first understand why Xainte came to the Great Wilderness.He had previously heard Xainte conversing with Yikron and mentioning her mother.“Could it be that Xainte came to the Great Wilderness to find her mother?”As he thought about this, James was instantly energized. According to his speculation, Xainte was his daughter, so Thea would be her mother, right? Was Thea in the Great Wilderness?At this moment, James was worked up. However, he was also at a loss. He had no idea where to go from here.He sincerely hoped that everything was as he suspected, that Thea was indeed in the Great Wilderness. Then, he would be able to meet with her and would not have to worry about finding her.He did not know which direction he should take moving forward.
James did not hide anymore and calmly strolled over to them.The three people turned to James and ascertained his cultivation rank.One of the men in a golden robe looked about 40 years old. He stared at James and said, “Young man, you’re only a Tenth Stage Sage, yet you’ve come deep into the Great Wilderness. Do you have a death wish?”James walked over, clasped his hands together, and greeted them respectfully. “Greetings to you.”After briefly greeting them, he said, “I came all this way, but I’ve not encountered any ferocious beasts. The Great Wilderness doesn’t seem as dangerous as mentioned by the legends.”The golden robed man said, “Bah, what do you know? You haven’t encountered anything because they’re all in hiding.”James walked over and sat on a boulder.He looked at the group, then asked, “Why are they hiding?”“There was an incident about thirty-thousand years ago,” muttered the man in the golden robe.Intrigued by his words, James tried to press for details. “Co
It was normal for exceptional powerhouses to fight for thousands of years.However, James was more interested in the results of the aforementioned battle.James suspected the Malevolent Demon they had mentioned was his wife, Thea.Shawn interjected, saying, “The battle raged on for thousands of years, and the five major academies and various sects suffered heavy losses. Even the Eidolon Realm’s greatest cultivator, the head of the Paragon Sect, ended up severely injured. After the battle, he isolated himself to treat his wounds and hasn’t shown up ever since.”James asked, “What about the Malevolent Demon? What happened to her?”Yoselyn replied him, “It’s speculated that countless of the Great Wilderness’ monsters and their leader, the Malevolent Demon, were slaughtered.”“So she’s dead?” James was stunned.Shawn nodded and said, “That’s what the rumors say. Everyone in the Eidolon Realm assumed the Malevolent Demon was dead, but news that she was still alive and only injured sp
While the Lehmans were under the treat of being annihilated, they heard news being spread about the Malevolent Demon. The three siblings decided to try their luck in the depths of the Great Wilderness. They could resolve their family's crisis by obtaining the Malevolent Demon’s inheritance.The group gathered around a bonfire late at night, eating grilled food as they talked about the stories of the Malevolent Demon.James tried to get more details, “Did the Malevolent Demon appear out of nowhere? If we think about it logically, there must be information about such a powerful person somewhere before the incident even happened.”The only woman present, Yoselyn, replied, “It seems she did really appear out of nowhere. There were no records of the Malevolent Demon in Eidolon Realm’s history.”James brought out his phone in an attempt to find Thea’s photo so they could verify whether the Malevolent Demon was indeed Thea.However, his phone had ran out of battery.Moreover, he had kep
To find out what happened to Thea in the Boundless Realm, James would have to first find her.“Haah!”James slowly took a deep breath.“What’s wrong, James?” asked Shawn.James shook his head and said, “No, it’s nothing. I was simply thinking about how strong this Malevolent Demon must be. She’s killed so many powerhouses from the five major academies, the Paragon Sect, and other various sects.”Hagen agreed with him. “The Malevolent Demon is indeed a formidable powerhouse. Despite only being at the Quasi-Emperor Rank's Ninth Tribulation, the Malevolent Demon managed to injure a Grand Emperor. If the Malevolent Demon becomes a Grand Emperor, no one in the entire Boundless Realm will be able to defeat her, let alone anyone in the Eidolon Realm.The group continued to converse well into the night.Soon, a new day had dawned.Later, the group continued advancing deeper into the Great Wilderness.They had already travelled far into the Great Wilderness, which was incredibly danger
Jules was at the Quasi Emperor Rank's First Tribulation, whereas Xainte was at the Quasi Emperor Rank's Second Tribulation.In a real fight, she could easily take Jules down.Yikron changed the topic, asking, “We’ve already traveled deep into the Great Wilderness. Where should we go next?”Xainte stopped replying him.She sat in a lotus position and closed her eyes.James saw Xainte land on a mountaintop from afar and planned to head over to talk with her.His figure flickered, and he flew toward the mountain. As soon as he landed on the mountain, Yikron shouted at him, “Stop right there!”Yikron waved his hand, and a powerful force swept toward James.Yikron was not a Quasi-Emperor, but he was at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage.The moment James appeared, he immediately knew that James was only at the Sage Rank. He did not unleash a lethal attack but simply moved to stop James.Despite it being a light attack, his force contained great strength. James was unable to withstand t
James discovered that the Malevolent Demon was Thea, but he was clueless about her whereabouts.Since Xainte was his daughter, she most likely knew where Thea was. However, James could not find a chance to talk to Xainte and ask about Thea. In his current circumstances, James had no choice but to waitXainte did not go anywhere else, so everyone also remained in the area.Everyone heard about Xainte being from the Great Wilderness and that Xainte’s mother was connected to the Malevolent Demon. Therefore, they thought by following Xainte, they could find the Malevolent Demon and obtain its inheritance.Many people gathered in the area. Initially, there were only tens of thousands of people. As time passed, hundreds of thousands of people had gathered around the area.All those gathered were very powerful and were all at least at the Divine Rank. James, who was only at the Sage Rank’s Tenth Stage, was the weakest among the crowd.All of them could easily kill James with a snap
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
