Wollongong extended his trembling hands and accepted the elixir.He had visited Mount Baidi several times for this family secret. However, he was injured each time. This time, his injuries were more severe. Even as a Grand Emperor, he was unable to heal the injuries in his body.At a critical moment, James appeared.Originally, he did not want to reveal the secret, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to reveal it.Once he accepted the elixir, he did not consume it immediately.James looked at Wollongong and asked, “You can reveal it now, right?”Wollongong glanced at Yevpraksiya, who was behind James.James said nonchalantly, “She’s one of our own. It’s alright. Speak freely.”Wollongong sat down nearby and started to get lost in his thoughts. After a while, he finally said, “Mount Baidi is on a barren planet near Ethos Realm. This planet was very prosperous during the Primeval Age. However, time has rendered this planet obsolete. At this point, no living beings vi
After he finished speaking, he turned around to leave.Jules immediately stood up and said in a hurry, “Mr. Caden, you’re going right now?”“Mhm.”James nodded.Jules’ eyes shifted around.The inheritance from the Primeval Age was definitely something great, even though he might not get it. However, if he followed James there, even if he did not get anything significant, he would at least get some perks.Wollongong had some other ideas as well. He also stood up and said, “Mr. Caden, it’s fine not to hurry these few days. How about this? Stay for a few days at the World Pavilion first. After a few days, I’ll arrange for a disciple of my sect to take you there. What do you think?”How could James not be aware of what Wollongong was thinking?After giving it some thought, he said, “Sure.”He stayed at the World Pavilion for the time being.Wollongong turned around and left after greeting James briefly.After he left, he immediately summoned Monica, the sect’s Grand Priestess.
Wollongong did not completely believe what Jules had said. He did not believe James was actually going to Mount Baidi just for a herb.He made some plans.Over the next few days, James stayed temporarily at the World Pavilion.In the blink of an eye, three days passed.After three days, many people gathered at the entrance to the main hall of the World Pavilion’s main peak.Wollongong was explaining to James some circumstances on Mount Baidi.James kept them in mind. After he had memorized them, he looked at Yevpraksiya, who was beside him, and said, “Stay at the World Pavilion for the time being. After I found the herb that I need, I’ll come to pick you up.”“Sir.” Yevpraksiya looked reluctant. She said, “Don’t you have the Celestial Abode? Let me go inside the Celestial Abode. I can wait for you in there.”James thought for a while, then nodded. He waved his hand casually. A force then formed in his hand and collected Yevpraksiya into the Celestial Abode.Wollongong looked
“This explains why no living beings live here. It’s so dilapidated. Who would want to come here,” Jules muttered. Then, with a smile, he looked at Monica who was beside him and reminded her, “Ms. Monica. This world is dangerous. Be careful and stay by my side. I’ll protect you.”As he said that, he moved closer to Monica with the intention of taking her hand.Monica dodged out of the way just in time. With a look of disdain on her face, she said, “Who needs your protection? You should protect yourself instead.”“You shouldn’t be like this,” Jules immediately became serious. He said, “After we return, we’re going to get married. You shouldn’t resist me. You should try to get closer to me. As you get closer to me, you’ll discover my positive traits.”Monica’s face was filled with contempt. She could not be bothered to argue with Jules.Although she could not refuse this marriage, Jules would only get her person, not her heart.He moved closer to James and asked, “Mr. Caden, where a
Last time, the Chancellor’s mission failed. The Sanctuary of Darkness had worked on this plan for a very long time before carrying it out. However, it ultimately failed. Not only did it fail, but it also resulted in the loss of the Twelve Furies of Heaven and Earth, the twelve prominent figures of the Grand Emperor Rank.After he returned to the headquarters, the Chancellor was almost beaten to death. To make amends for his failure, he once again prepared this project.He brought many powerful cultivators proficient in Spirit Assemblage Art and searched everywhere for planets with spirits.On this planet, there were many spirits.If they gathered these spirits together and used Cursed Magic, they could forcibly mass them into a living being. That strength would be very terrifying, and it would be of great use for the following plans of Sanctuary of Darkness.“Advance.”The Chancellor commanded.Following his command, the airship quickly moved forward, vanished from outer spa
Suddenly, the ground began to quake.As the growl of an unknown monster’s voice filled the air, the mountain split open, and a chasm appeared. Then, a massive horned head emerged from the valley.The monster had a large mouth with two rows of sharp teeth.A foul and foreboding atmosphere suffused the surroundings.At the sight of the monster, both Jules and Monica retreated slightly.Emperor Jabari immediately drew out a small amount of his power from the Celestial Abode. His power diffused into James’ body and roused his physical strength.James’ energy immediately grew stronger.The Demonic Lotus’ energy also surged through his body and pushed his strength to its limits.Jules and Monica were surprised by the sudden change they saw in James.Both of them took further steps back.Monica appeared in the distance and looked at James, whose energy had skyrocketed. She was startled to sense the energy coming from James. “I-Is he really that strong?”She was a Quasi-Emperor
The monster guarding the place was a Divine Cow with corrupted blood.He had guarded the place for a long time.He had not even reached the Grand Emperor rank when he first arrived. Fortuitously, he discovered a miraculous Emperor Rank Herb hidden within Mount Baidi’s Formation.However, around the mountain was a formation.The reason he guarded the place was in order to break the formation.A long time had passed since he first arrived, and he had already become a Grand Emperor at the Fourth Heaven. Yet, he was still unable to break the formation.Unfortunately, humans had trespassed into the area.The Divine Cow transformed into his human form. He hovered in the air and looked at James who seemed terrifyingly strong. The Divine Cow’s face darkened and his expression contorted into a hostile snarl.“Die!”After the Divine Cow cried out, his body flickered. He suddenly appeared before James. Clenching his fist, he swung a mighty punch at James.His attack contained immense de
The Divine Cow immediately reverted to his true form.He flapped his black wings, and a few mysterious lines emerged on his wings.After that, the lines activated and connected with each other.A disturbing force was immediately unleashed. The Divine Cow flapped his wings again, and lightning filled the sky.The flashes of lightning contained great strength and was enough to injure inexperienced Grand Emperors.Unfortunately, they dealt no damage to James.James’ physical strength was immeasurable. The Divine Cow’s Path was unable to break through James’ defenses. The attack merely made James’ Blood Energy churn slightly.A fierce battle broke out in the barren world.The Divine Cow unleashed his terrifying signature skill along with the full strength of his Path. The Path he mastered was that of lightning.Although the Lightning Path boasted devastating strength, the Divine Cow could not inflict any substantial damage to James nor break his physical defenses.After fig
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
