At that moment, some black clouds slowly gathered together to form a dark silhouette before him.The Southern Reverend could not see the dark silhouette’s appearance clearly.“I’ve already done what you’ve asked of me. Many powerhouses have been lured into this world. Where’s the thing you promised me?” said the Southern Reverend.“Hehe…”The dark silhouette let out a burst of eerie laughter.He casually waved his hand, and several mysterious inscriptions appeared in his palm.“These are Curse Inscriptions. Take them and practice hard. You’ll be immune to the Curse Magic here after you master it. Moreover, you’ll be able to gain tremendous strength with Curse Magic to control the powerhouses in this world.”The Southern Reverend accepted these mysterious inscriptions.He asked, “What are you trying to do after luring so many powerhouses into this strange world?”“You don’t need to know.”The dark silhouette disappeared. Immediately afterward, the black clouds also disappear
The deepest region of the world was shrouded in Curse Magic.A black palace floated in the sky, and many ferocious monsters surrounded the area.There were flying monsters, land monsters, and all kinds of different monsters.They all had one similar characteristic—their whole body exuded black energy.The monsters looked very evil. At that moment, a beautiful, expressionless woman flew out of the black palace.She appeared in the air and held a black sword. The sword's tip was slightly curved and the blade radiated terrifying black energy.She waved her sword, and black energy emerged to form several mysterious words that looked like a command.The various monsters around the palace roared as soon as they saw the words appear.At that moment, the color of the sky immediately changed.Then, the ferocious monsters began to charge out in different directions.Thea led the group of monsters away from the black palace.Terrifying monsters suddenly attacked the cultivators that
James was slightly taken aback by his remark and asked, “What formation? What do you know about it?”Emperor Jabari explained solemnly, “Resurrection Formations are terrifying and are like a taboo existence. The formation requires the Blood Essence of countless living beings to be activated. Once the formation is triggered, a tremendous force will form within the formation. With the assistance of other treasures, it can resurrect the dead.“I can sense a Resurrection Formation that covers this whole world. With such a large formation, the person they’re trying to resurrect must be a terrifying powerhouse at the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Heaven or above.”James exclaimed, “What?!”Emperor Jabari said, “You have to stop it, James. The formation requires the blood of countless powerhouses. Since the mastermind behind it has begun to take action, a massacre against the people that have entered this world must’ve already begun.”After receiving the news, James’ face turned grim.He l
“What should we do?”James was clueless about what to do next either.Emperor Jabari had asked him to prevent the activation of the Resurrection Formation.However, his cultivation rank was relatively low.Moreover, his wife was on their opposing side.He could not imagine what he would do if Thea fought everyone that entered this world in front of him.Should he assist them in killing Thea or help Thea kill everyone to activate the Resurrection Formation?James was at a loss.With his strength, there was little he could do. He could only take a step at a time.After thinking briefly, James said, “Let’s check on the situation.”“Mhm.” Xainte nodded.Afterward, the two quickly left the mountain.They chose a direction and advanced rapidly.The unknown world was huge, and many powerful cultivators from the Eidolon Realm and other worlds had entered this world. It was estimated that tens of billions of powerhouses had entered this world.Although the world was huge, it was e
Xainte looked at the fierce battle ahead. After briefly thinking about it, she said, “These monsters aren’t powerful. Since you can’t do anything, I’ll fight them off. I’ll try to save as many as I can.”James quickly pulled her back.“What’s wrong?”Xainte looked at James.James said, “I can’t worry about other people’s lives right now. My priority is to find Thea and get her out of this place as soon as possible. I might be able to dispel the Curse Magic controlling her, but I have to find her first.”James came from the Apocalypse Age on Earth.During the Apocalypse Age, many people died daily due to curses.He had already gotten used to seeing casualties. James knew he was not a hero that could save everyone.Between saving the lives of all these cultivators and his wife, he chose his wife.It was not an act out of selfishness, but he knew he did not have the strength to save everyone.Xainte’s goal was also to find Thea and find out what happened to her. After contem
James’ expression was solemn.At that moment, Thea was besieged by countless powerhouses. The weakest among the group was a Quasi-Emperor, and there was also a Grand Emperor.Thea was not a match against so many of them and was constantly sustaining injuries.“What should I do, Emperor Jabari?”He turned to Emperor Jabari in the Celestial Abode for guidance.Emperor Jabari’s voice came from the Celestial Abode. “I already told you I can’t easily expose myself. Besides, I can’t resolve this situation even if I were to intervene.”“What about you, Nova? Could you help me? I need to save Thea and take her away.”Novas replied, “I don’t stand a chance against them. The weakest among them is a Quasi-Emperor, and the strongest is a Grand Emperor. My strength is only equivalent to the Grand Emperor Rank’s First Heaven. I won’t be of much help even if I take action.”James was left with no other choice.He wanted to take advantage of the chaotic situation to bring Thea somewhere safe
Blood kept overflowing from Xainte’s lips. Her eyes were teary, and tears kept rolling down her face. She choked up, saying, “That’s my mother, Sir. That’s my mother! Someone is controlling her. Please think of a way to save her!”The Paragon Sect’s Great Elder frowned.He had his suspicions about Xainte’s identity.Hearing her confirm his thoughts, he was not surprised.“There’s nothing I can do, Xainte. Your mother must die. If she doesn’t, our world will never be in peace.”“Wah…”Xainte wept loudly.She was a Quasi-Emperor. For the past tens of thousands of years, she never cried regardless of what she went through. However, at that moment, she could no longer suppress her tears.She wept sorrowfully.“Treat your injuries.”After leaving a few words, the Paragon Sect’s Great Elder rejoined the battle.Xainte stood up with difficulty. Her heart tightened upon seeing Thea being besieged and constantly sustaining injuries.James floated up into the distant sky and watched
Thea had been controlled by Curse Magic for tens of thousands of years.During these long years, she constantly fell into a trance but would occasionally regain consciousness. However, the mastermind of the whole scheme had repeatedly been sealing away her consciousness.Before the attack against the cultivators in this unknown realm, her consciousness was once again sealed.Even when faced with her own daughter, she showed no emotions.After she obtained the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword, she broke through the formation and wounded several powerhouses.Then, the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword temporarily suppressed the Curse Magic in her body.Thea slashed the sword, and the powerhouses were severely injured.Even a powerhouse like the Martial Reverend sustained a serious injury.The injured powerhouses turned to James in the distance with solemn expressions.The Martial Reverend frowned and murmured, “What’s James doing? Why is he helping Thea?”He could not figure it out.The Mar
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
