The mysterious old man in the black robe was the one who had been controlling Thea.He was confused about how the Curse Power in Thea’s body was removed.Which powerhouse was capable of dispelling the curse in her body?His mission could only succeed, and failure was not acceptable.To revive this powerhouse, the Sanctuary of Darkness had spent a long time planning everything,Now that someone had appeared and was interfering with their plan, the old man called for backup to ensure the operation ran smoothly.Soon, he received a response. “I’ll send the Twelve Furies of Heaven and Earth to help you. This mission must succeed. If you fail, don’t bother coming back to me alive.”A voice resounded in the mysterious black-robed man’s mind.His expression immediately darkened and was terrifyingly grim.With the Twelve Furies of Heaven and Earth helping him, regardless of who dispelled the Curse Power in Thea’s body, that person would eventually end up dead and be converted into e
Thea had a solemn look.Their mission would be hard to complete if that were true.James sighed and said, “No matter what, we have to find the Ancestral God Rank Elixir. It’s humanity’s last hope. We won’t be able to acquire the strength of an Ancestral God and won’t be able to kill Heaven's Adjudicators if we don’t find it. Our failure will mean the extinction of humans.”At that moment, the Martial Reverend walked over to them.“What are you guys discussing?”James stood up and said, “It’s nothing.”The Martial Reverend said, “Everything is ready.”“Mhm.”Thea nodded and looked at the four hundred thousand powerhouses prepared for the mission. Then, she looked at the other powerhouses and said, “Since everything is ready, we’ll head into the depths of this world. Our victory or defeat will be dependent on this mission. If we succeed, we’ll survive this together. If we fail, we’re all going to die.”The Martial Reverend nodded solemnly.After everyone was ready, James and th
Countless powerhouses gathered outside the Sanctuary of Darkness. All of them had come to obtain the inheritance of the Malevolent Demon but fell into a trap.The group of people only comprised those that Thea and the Martial Reverend had rescued.There were many more people scatted throughout the Cursed World who were still fighting with monsters.After so long, many of them succumbed to the monsters.The pungent smell of blood permeated the world.Countless fights took place in the Cursed World.James, Thea, Xainte, the Martial Reverend, and the other powerhouses looked at the floating Sanctuary of Darkness ahead of them.The Sanctuary of Darkness was massive and black in color. It was shrouded in black mist that did not dissipate, giving the Sanctuary of Darkness a very eerie and terrifying aura.“Roar!”At that moment, an unknown beast growled.Immediately afterward, the gates of the Sanctuary of Darkness swung open. Then, a black mist emerged from inside and quickly turn
“What do we do now?”A Quasi-Emperor spoke, his voice shivering.All who reached the Quasi-Emperor Rank were prodigies who possessed formidable mental fortitude. Yet, fear gripped the heart of this Quasi-Emperor. Everyone looked at the Martial Reverend, Thea, and James.“Hee hee hee…”A peal of strange laughter boomed. Then, an elderly man in a black robe flew out of the main hall. Behind him were twelve masked powerful figures in black robes.Upon seeing the elderly man, Thea’s eyes widened. “It’s him!”Sensing the opponent’s aura, she cried out, “He was the one who controlled me. He’s the Chancellor of the Sanctuary of Darkness and the mastermind behind the scenes.”James glanced at the elderly man in the black robe.“Thea Callahan, I never expected you to remove the curse inside your body. Who was the one who helped you?” the Chancellor questioned. To him, the cultivators before him were insignificant. The only individual he was concerned about was the one who removed
The Chancellor cultivated Curse Magic. However, after being passed down for generations, the Curse Magic now had many variations. The one he cultivated was the Mind Control Art.The Mind Control Art was essentially a Curse Magic capable of controlling other living beings. As he catalyzed the Mind Control Art, the countless beasts behind him went berserk. These beasts seemed to be in excruciating pain, emitting agonizing roars. The deafening and mournful roars echoed through the sky, shattering the dark clouds and making the earth tremble. “Charge!”The Chancellor waved.As he gave his order, countless beasts charged straight ahead.James had asked the Chancellor a few questions, which he refused to answer. Seeing that the opponents were charging straight toward them, he ordered, “Enter into formation!”As he gave his order, four hundred thousand cultivators flew into the sky and stood in different spots. Then, the Martial Reverend, the Southern Reverend, Thea, and James also fle
James relaxed his muscles and clenched his fists. Sensing the power inside his body, he could not help but exclaim, “Is this power that surpasses even the Divine Rank? How terrifying…”“Fetch, James!”Thea tossed the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword to James, who managed to grab it. Holding the Divine Sword in his hand, James shivered. Then, the Divine Sword glimmered with a radiant purple light.“What a powerful Divine Sword!”Holding the Divine Sword in his hand, James could sense devastating power coming from the sword. It was unprecedented.At that moment, the Martial Reverend charged toward the beasts and slashed them. As he was one of the leaders, he could redirect some of the power of the four-hundred-thousand-strong army. With the support of the formation, he was like a war god. Charging into the horde of beasts, he slaughtered them all. The moment the beasts died, their Blood Essence was absorbed by the mysterious formation in the sky, and they were mummified.At that moment, T
At that moment, even someone as powerful as the Martial Reverend was confused. Back then when James broke the Flowery Pattern Formation, he knew that James was an unknown powerful figure. When James admitted that his strength was insignificant and that he was only at the Sage Rank, he scoffed at his remarks. However, after seeing James struggling to endure the power of the formation, he chose to believe in his previous words. Now, upon seeing James performing the terrifying sword technique, he was confounded.“Who the hell is he? What exactly is he rank?”At that moment, James had already charged into the horde of beasts. Back on Planet Galileo, he fought against the Heavenly Path Embodiments for thirty thousand years. The Embodiments performed invincible sword techniques, and he learned them and merged them into his First Swordsmanship. However, as his strength was limited before, he could not summon the true force of this sword technique. Now that he had the combined power of a f
Now, she had removed the Mind Control Art on these beasts and freed them from mind control. After cursing, the Chancellor gazed into the distance with a solemn expression. “Hmph, enjoy this while it lasts! Once James is dead, none of you shall escape.”The Chancellor did not panic. That was because he was the only one who knew the exit of the Cursed World. Besides, the Curse Power here was immense. In such a world, he was invincible.After Thea removed the Mind Control Art on some beasts, the fierce battle stopped temporarily. All gazes were fixed on James and the four-hundred-thousand-strong army.At that moment, James appeared before the Twelve Furies. Holding the Divine Sword in his hand, he looked at them and pointed the sword at them. Invisible Sword Energy shredded through the air, and he said with an indifferent expression, “Make your move.”“Hmph, you must have a death wish!”A hoarse voice said.Then, one of the Twelve Furies charged toward James at extraordinary spe
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
