James wanted to react but could only watch silently as his cultivation rank was indeed low.Monica was offended on James’ behalf and said, “Sir, why aren’t you saying anything?”James looked at her calmly and said, “What should I say? There’s nothing much I can say to defend myself. He’s speaking the truth.”Monica stomped her feet angrily.The Great Elder looked at James, then ignored him. He turned back to Jules, saying, “I see you’ve been messing around outside all this time. Since the conference is about to begin you should quietly remain in Sky City. I still have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”After speaking, the Great Elder turned to leave.With a flash, he disappeared from their sight.“Mr. Caden… I…”Jules said embarrassedly, “We live in a world where strength is valued above all. However, the energy you exhibit is too weak. You’re formidable so why do you want to stay so inconspicuous?”He could not understand why James was hiding his true strength.
The woman was Jadranka, the greatest Official in the Elixir Pavilion. She was a Grand Emperor at the Fifth Heaven and was at the same cultivation rank as the current Pavilion Master of Elixir Pavilion, Helvius.Jadranka walked in front of Helvius and noticed his worried expression. She could not help but inquire. “What’s on your mind?”The middle-aged man the current Pavilion Master of the Elixir Pavilion. He was the epitome of strength in the Boundless Realm.Helvius murmured, “A storm is brewing.”Jadranka was puzzled by his words and asked, “What do you mean?”Helvius turned to her and asked, “Do you remember the disaster from one hundred Epochs ago?”Hearing this, Jadranka nodded slightly and said, “How could I forget? More than a hundred Epochs ago, when had I just become a Grand Emperor, there was a calamity that devastated all the living beings of our world.”Helvius said, “Correct. The Sanctuary of Darkness was the cause of the disaster. It’s speculated the Sanctuary of
Helvius walked through the crack in the formation and arrived inside Mount Truskie.A simple wooden house was built in the open space on the mountaintop. There were simple tables and chairs placed outside the wooden house.Upon arriving on the mountaintop, Helvius clasped his hands and called out respectfully, “Old Master.”Creak.The wooden door opened, and an old man walked outside.The old man looked quite long-lived. He had a head of white hair along with a white beard.Seeing the old man with white hair, Helvius immediately greeted, “Old Master.”The old man was none other than the founder of the Elixir Pavilion, Silvester.He was supposedly a Seventh Heaven Grand Emperor and was acknowledged as the strongest person in the Boundless Realm. He had the highest cultivation rank among those whose cultivation ranks were also known. Many powerhouses have vanished from the public eye and were no longer remembered by people. “What’s the matter?”Silvester walked out of the wo
When one reached the Divine Rank, an Ousia would form in one’s body.This Ousia would change into a Path Seal upon reaching the Grand Emperor Rank.Silvester was one of the strongest people in the Boundless Realm.He was a Grand Emperor at the Seventh Heaven.However, he did not spend much effort in training his physical body. Thus, his physical strength was much weaker than his cultivation rank. When Helvius attacked at full force, it immediately shattered his Path Seal.Under normal circumstances, the shattering of one’s Path Seal meant immediate death.However, powerful cultivators could use their energy to stabilize and protect their Path Seals from being shattered.Enraged, Silvester also struck Helvius in the chest. His devastating force spread through Helvius’s body and destroyed his Path Seal.Two powerful cultivators were effortlessly incapacitated.After Helvius was wounded, traces of black energy emerged from his body and vanished into the air.Helvius immediately
Helvius quickly left without stopping. Then, he immediately issued an order to set up a formation around the Elixir Pavilion. During this period, no one was allowed to leave.After that, he summoned many of the Elixir Pavilion’s powerful members.The Elixir Pavilion was the most formidable sect in this world. Its core members were all accomplished cultivators, who were either Great Emperors or Quasi-Emperors.Tens of thousands of powerhouses were gathered in the main hall.They were all core members of the Elixir Pavilion.The weakest among them were Quasi-Emperors at the Fifth Tribulation.“What’s the matter, Pavilion Master? Why did you activate the formation so suddenly? Also, why have you summoned all the sect’s strongest out of the blue?”Helvius immediately ordered. “Head to Mount Jakan immediately and detain everyone there.”Everyone was shocked by this order.Mount Jakan was the residence of the Elixir Pavilion’s strongest Officials.During the meeting, Jules asked, “
The Elixir Pavilion had a long history and a stable foundation.Although the Sanctuary of Darkness was a mysterious organization that caused a terrible disaster in the past, the Elixir Pavilion was determined to eliminate them if they appeared.Helvius said, “Also, everything said today is confidential. Don’t let the news spread. Otherwise, it’ll cause panic among the people.”“Understood. We’ll carry out your orders, Pavilion Master.”Helvius gently waved his hand. “Everyone’s dismissed.”The core members began to take their leave. After everyone was gone, Helvius sank into his chair, and his face paled.His Path Seal was damaged. Although he survived, he would eventually die if the damage continued to spread.He went into seclusion without a moment’s thought.Meanwhile, James was unaware of the events happening under the surface.James temporarily stayed in Elixir Pavilon’s manor for many days.The sun shined brightly today. James sat in the courtyard and rested. Meanwhile,
He wanted to ask Jadranka for clarification, but he could not find her even after searching for several days.“Mr. Caden, it’ll take some time before I can give you the materials I promised. After my father returns from seclusion, I’ll introduce you to him. My father is currently in charge of the Elixir Pavilion. I’ll have to get his permission before I can give the materials to you.”James waved his hand and said, “There’s no rush.”His main objective for staying at the Elixir Pavilion was to gather the materials needed to revive Emperor Jabari.Emperor Jabari was a Grand Emperor at the Ninth Heaven. He had extremely high requirements to recover his physical body. The stronger his reformed body, the more powerful he would be. Moreover, it would also accelerate the speed at which he recovered energy.The Elixir Pavilion was the strongest force in the Boundless Realm. After he obtained the materials from Elixir Pavilion, he would have gathered most of the materials needed to revive
Jules came to their meeting spot but found no one there.He called out a few times.Jadranka observed the surroundings from a distance.She wanted to ensure that no one from the Elixir Pavilion had followed him. She watched him from the shadows for about ten minutes. Seeing that no one was following Jules, Jadranka finally showed herself.“Ma’am!”Seeing Jadranka, Jules immediately walked over and asked puzzledly, “What’s going on? Why did my father lead the powerhouses of the Elixir Pavilion to Mount Jakan?”Jadranka wore a long purple dress. She was slender and looked lovely. She looked at Jules and said with a smile. “What could’ve happened I wonder? Don’t worry it’s not a big deal.”“Then why did you leave Elixir Pavilion?” asked Jules.His intuition told him that something must have happened.However, he had no idea what was going on.Jadranka dismissed his concerns. “It’s really nothing. I only called you here to tell you that I’m fine. You should head back. Don’t tell
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
