James’ body slowly descended and landed steadily on the ground.He stood in the courtyard and looked at the Empyrean plants. Using his mind, black inscriptions emerged from his palm as he raised his hand.The inscriptions shifted constantly and transformed into black energy.The black energy swept over the surroundings like a strong wind.The Empyrean plants in the distance immediately withered. Immediately afterward, James raised his hand, and a few more black inscriptions emerged from his palm. The black inscriptions rapidly changed and transformed into black energy again.The energy washed over the withered plants, and they immediately regained vitality. The plants grew rapidly, instantly reaching a height of more than one meter.James had a basic understanding of Curse Magic.Curse Magic was capable of anything. It could destroy life but also bring it back.James smiled faintly.He only understood the very basics of Curse Magic.If he perfected it, he would be able to r
Nico began to share some of the rumors he knew. However, he was unsure if the rumors he heard were reliable.He knew the form of the Water Genesis was a spring. However, he had no idea what exactly it looked like.“Yeah?”James rubbed his nose pensively. Suddenly, he recalled something, and his expression became serious.“If the legends you’ve heard are true, then we’ve got a troublesome situation.”Thea asked. “What’s wrong?”James replied, “The Sanctuary of Darkness’ first master was one of Heaven’s Adjudicators. If the Aqua Realm is related to the Heaven’s Adjudicator, then the drying up of the planet must definitely be related to the Sanctuary of Darkness.”James’ speculation was well-founded.Previously, he had almost wiped out the Sanctuary of Darkness. However, they would not be crushed so easily and would surely find a way to rebuild themselves. The Heaven’s Adjudicator was likely crucial to their plan.A Heaven’s Adjudicator was an existence that transcended almost ev
Thea knew James had numberable priceless treasures, so she was not surprised to hear that.Her gaze rested on the giant planet before them.The planet was immense and looked azure blue from a distance.“Is that the Aqua Realm?” asked Thea.Nico composed himself and replied, “Correct. That’s the Aqua Realm. I came to this place to train many years ago when I was still weak. Back then, the Aqua Realm was covered with seawater.”After speaking, Nico turned to James and said, “It’s rumored the Aqua Realm’s seawater was formed using the Water Genesis. It’s not just normal seawater, and harbors potent energy.”“Alright, let’s go have a look.”James moved through outer space. With a few steps, he arrived right before the Aqua Realm.He passed through its atmospheric layers and entered the planet, floating right above the land.Below him was the Aqua Realm’s surface.He could see some ancient buildings on the ground.Most of the buildings had collapsed and turned into rubble. Only s
The Elixir Pavilion was the most influential faction in the Boundless Realm. Naturally, they had already noticed the aberration in the Aqua Realm.Silvester replied, “Yeah, I did. I’ve already sent a few of my men to investigate the situation but haven’t gotten a definite answer yet.”James shared his conjecture. “I suspect the Sanctuary of Darkness is behind this incident. I’m already at the Aqua Realm. If this has something to do with them, I won’t be able to stop them with my current strength. I suggest you come over along with Helvius.”“Alright, no problem.”James’ contributions in the previous battle helped the Elixir Pavilion avoid annihilation.That was why Silvester agreed to James’ call for help without any hesitation.After communicating with Silvester, James deactivated the Secret Art.Afterward, Silvester hastily headed out to find Helvius.Silvester explained the situation to Helvius and made a few arrangements in the Elixir Pavilion. Then, the two departed for th
A few mysterious men in black appeared outside the Elixir Realm.Their silhouettes were initially hazy but gradually gained more form.The person in the lead was Tamuuz, who had escaped after his defeat in the previous battle.After his defeat, Tamuuz fled from the Elixir Realm and returned to the Sanctuary of Darkness’ base.He was reprimanded heavily for failing his mission. If not for his usefulness, he would have been disposed of instantly.Previously, all the powerhouses from the Sanctuary of Darkness were dispatched to the battle. However, their mission failed, and most of the Sanctuary of Darness’ powerhouses were captured.To save them, the Sanctuary of Darkness drew up a rescue mission.They planned to lure away their opponents.One of the Heaven’s Adjudicators was indeed sealed within the Aqua Realm.Tamuuz knew the presence of the Sanctuary of Darkness in the Aqua Realm would attract James and the Elixir Pavilion’s attention. Following that, the Elixir Pavilion’s me
Silvester immediately activated his Divine Senses and began to scan the surrounding area.Before his Divine Sense could extend toward the mountain range, it was blocked by a mysterious force.“Huh?”Silvester gasped in surprise. “There’s a formation here blocking out my Divine Sense. It seems to be quite a powerful formation.”Hearing this, Nico casually waved his hand. A powerful force emerged from his palm and charged toward the mountains ahead.The force struck the mountain range, and strange inscriptions suddenly appeared in the sky above the mountains. An ancient and mysterious formation gradually appeared in their sight.The formation protected the entire mountain range.It repelled Nico’s attack, and the force rushed back toward them.“Stand back!”Silvester and the rest immediately retreated.After getting to a safe distance, the group looked at the mysterious formation.“That’s a very powerful formation.” Nico looked at it in shock. He was a Fifth Heaven Grand Emper
“Are you sure she’s the last Heaven’s Adjudicator?”James looked at Melinda.However, Melinda did not respond to his question. She observed the formation ahead and murmured, “A formation laid down by an Ancestral God will be difficult to break.”Melinda did not say much.James fell into deep thought.He felt there was more to Melinda’s words than she implied.Silvester, Helvius, and Nico listened intently.They had heard of Heaven’s Adjudicators before but only read about them in ancient books and were unsure of the details. Now they finally met someone who has knowledge about Heaven’s Adjudicators.Silvester asked. “It’s rumored that Heaven’s Adjudicators judge the living beings that violate the Heavenly Path’s rules. Is that true?”Melinda glanced at Silvester and replied, “Yes, and no.”Confused, Silvester inquired, “What do you mean?”After a brief thought, Melinda replied, “Let me put it this way. The Heavenly Path was created by a powerful person. It’s like a set of ru
His body contained countless Curse Inscriptions, which contained Curse Power.Curse Inscriptions continuously emerged from James’ body while he was in the Time Formation. The inscriptions revolved around him, and black energy surrounded his body.James attempted to convert the Curse Inscriptions in his body into Curse Power.If he could convert them into Curse Power, he could cultivate his second Ousia.James named it the Curse Ousia.After cultivating for a while, he converted some of the Curse Inscriptions into Curse Power. Unfortunately, he could not convert them all at once.Despite that, he did not give up.He knew that as his knowledge of the general outline of the Curse Inscriptions grew, he would eventually be able to completely convert all of them into Curse Power.Time passed day by day.James’ comprehension of the basics had grown deeper.Meanwhile, Melinda was focused on breaching the formations.A man stood atop a mountain in the distance. He looked relatively
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
