“Mhm.”Emperor Jabari nodded.Then, James turned to leave.He headed to the Time Chamber to meet Nuub.As Nuub was a powerful fighter, he needed to borrow his strength to fight against the Sanctuary.The moment James entered the Time Chamber, he sensed an extraordinary power shredding through the air. Even he could not approach the source of the power.Standing in the distance, he asked, “How’s it going, Nuub?” Nuub said, “I’m almost done. I’m close to making a breakthrough. James, help me find a desolate place. I’m about to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation. After overcoming the Emperor Tribulation, I’ll be a Grand Emperor at the Fifth Heaven.”“Mhm.” James nodded.Nuub left his closed-door meditation at that precise moment. Then, James left the Celestial Abode. Borrowing Emperor Jabari’s strength, he left the Elixir Pavilion and headed for the stars. Upon arriving in space, Nuub appeared.At that moment, Nuub was exuding a powerful aura, and he was enveloped in the Path’s p
James thought that he would be considered a powerful figure once he crossed into the Divine Rank. After conversing with Emperor Jabari, he realized that the Divine Rank was considered weak. Even a Grand Emperor at the Ninth Heaven stood no chance against the Heavenly Path, let alone a cultivator at the Divine Rank. Since the Heavenly Path wished to annihilate humankind, James had no choice but to fight against Heaven. He knew that this journey would be a treacherous one. Regardless, he knew he had to soldier on. Next, he concentrated on observing Nuub’s tribulation.An Emperor Tribulation was extremely terrifying. Each lightning tribulation was enough to annihilate a Grand Emperor at a similar rank. However, Nuub was extremely powerful, and he had mastered many terrifying secret Supernatural Arts. Not only that, but his blood had evolved, allowing him to resist the Heavenly Tribulation. Even so, he was in a wretched state after being relentlessly bombarded by the Heavenly Tribulatio
Before the Elixir Gathering’s commencement, he had brought Monica and Yevpraksiya, the subordinate he had taken from the Stardust Realm, into the Celestial Abode, where they would remain for some time.Time passed. In the blink of an eye, the day of the Gathering had arrived.Countless powerful individuals and forces of the Boundless Realm had been invited. At that moment, the Elixir Pavilion was open to all. Under the guidance of the disciples of the Elixir Pavilion, these guests entered the Pavilion and arrived at the main peak. Meanwhile, powerful individuals and alchemists gathered in Elixir City.At that moment, a radiant light glimmered above Sky City. Then, a man appeared in mid-air.It was Helvius Daniela, the current Master of the Elixir Pavilion.“Helvius has appeared!”“Helvius, the current Master of the Pavilion, is a Grand Emperor at the Fifth Heaven.”“Is he the most powerful individual of the Pavilion?”Countless gazes were fixed on Helvius, who was hovering in
The Gathering had begun. Meanwhile, James and the others waited patiently for the Sanctuary to arrive.At the same time, many elixir pharmacies appeared on the main peaks of the Pavilion. Each elixir pharmacy was managed by an Elder of the Pavilion, and they sold all kinds of elixirs. The weakest were Divine Rank Elixirs, and each of them was rare and priceless. There were even Emperor Rank Elixirs being sold at some of the main peaks. The cultivators all began to choose the elixirs they needed.At that moment, a group of mysterious people in black silently appeared outside the Elixir Realm. In the lead was a young man about twenty-five years of age. Wearing a black robe, he was somewhat handsome-looking. However, he was enveloped in a black aura that seemed malicious and malevolent.He was Tamuuz Darkness, the Deputy Master of the Sanctuary. As the core member of the Sanctuary, he was in the loop of all plans in the Sanctuary. Besides that, he possessed immense power and was at the
Wearing a grim expression, Tamuuz said, “Something’s not quite right. Why can’t I contact Benedict? Did something happen?”“No way,” Jadranka said, “Benedict’s extremely powerful. There’s no way something could have happened. He must be worried that he might be exposed, considering that many powerful figures are gathered in the Pavilion now. That’s why he chose not to respond.”Tamuuz said grimly, “Not just Benedict, I can’t contact even a single spy that the Sanctuary has planted in the Pavilion. If I’m not mistaken, the Pavilion must have located the spies that have infiltrated their ranks and subdued them.”“What should we do then?” Jadranka asked, “Should we continue with our plan? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Silvester and Helvius are injured, and the strength of the Pavilion has been severely diminished. If we miss this opportunity, we might find it impossible to annihilate them in the future.”Tamuuz fell into deep thought. After some time, he said, “Let’s not r
Benedict sat on the ground. Though wretched, he glanced at James and asked nonchalantly, “Why are you here?”Though he appeared nonchalant on the outside, he was secretly puzzled inside. Why could an insignificant figure like James freely enter the Pavilion’s holy site?‘Could he really be an extremely powerful guy?’He was puzzled.James walked into the dungeon and waved his hand casually. Immediately, a chair appeared. As he sat on the chair, he looked at Benedict and said coldly, “Benedict, do you know why you lost?”Benedict shook his head and said, “I don’t know, nor do I wish to know.”He knew he had lost. His fate would be terrible. Perhaps he would live, but he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life.James said, “In truth, you have disguised yourself well. Not even the Pavilion’s Master could see through you. If everything goes according to plan, you’ll work with the Sanctuary from the inside when they attack the Pavilion. When that happens, the Pavilion will surel
He looked at Benedict and asked, “Am I right?”Benedict nodded slightly and said, “You’re right. I joined the Sanctuary for Curse Magic to obtain greater power. I also wish to replace the Elixir Pavilion. However, I’m not being threatened or coerced by anyone.”James said, “You only have two options at the moment. One, you die. Two, you betray the Sanctuary and help the Pavilion annihilate them.”“Hahaha…” Benedict snickered. “How naive, James. You don’t know how powerful the Sanctuary is. Even with my help, the Pavilion may not be able to annihilate the Sanctuary.”“Is that so?”James smiled and said, “Silvester and Helvius have regained their strength. One of them is a Seventh Heaven Grand Emperor, and the other is at the Fifth Heaven. Would the Sanctuary dare attack with the both of them guarding the Pavilion?”Benedict responded coldly, “Even if they have regained their strength, the Sanctuary can still annihilate them with ease.”“What if I say I have another cultivator at
James knew that Benedict would not obey him entirely without giving him some benefits. Besides, he was worried that Benedict would conspire to set him up. That way, not only would they fail to annihilate the Sanctuary, but even the Pavilion could be implicated.Benedict was moved. He knew just how powerful Curse Magic was. All these years, he had only obtained a handful of Curse Inscriptions despite his many years of service for the Sanctuary. If James was willing to teach him Curse Magic, this was a great deal.He looked at James and said, “I have a question.”James said, “Ask away.”Benedict asked, “Where do you come from?”James glanced at him. After a few seconds, he said slowly, “I come from the future.”“The future?” Benedict froze.James nodded and said, “Yes.”Then, he briefly described the Four Calamities of humankind on Earth.“I came to the Boundless Realm from the future looking for a silver lining for humankind. As for my strength, don’t even bother guessing. You
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
