A disciple quickly left to report the situation.Meanwhile, the remaining disciples kept retreating in fear.James and the others did not rush it either and waited patiently.Soon, footsteps resounded, and a group of people appeared. A middle-aged man was in the lead. He looked about forty years old and wore a golden robe.The middle-aged man was the Heavenly Flame Sect’s Leader, a powerhouse at the Divine Rank.As soon as he appeared, he sensed a terrifying aura from James’ party. He immediately knew the three of them were powerful cultivators and did not dare to disrespect them.“Pleasure to meet you, my guests.”The Heavenly Flame Sect’s Leader walked over and said respectfully, “What brings the three of you to our sect today?”James looked at the approaching Heavenly Flame Sect’s Leader. Then, he pointed toward the tower ahead of them and said, “What’s in the tower?”The Sect Leader was taken aback by his question but quickly recomposed and replied, “There’s nothing in t
The tower was originally the holy site of the Heavenly Flame Sect and was used to store their Supernatural Powers.Every floor was incredibly huge, spanning about a thousand square meters.After breaking the barrier on the eighth floor, James proceeded to ascend to the highest floor.He slowly ascended the stairs.After turning a corner at the staircase, James could finally see the ninth floor.On the ninth floor, there was nothing except a golden ray. The light illuminated the floor with a blinding light.Soon, James arrived on the ninth floor.Thea exclaimed joyfully, “It’s the Ancestral God Rank Elixir!”James could also clearly see that the golden light came from the Ancestral God Rank Elixir.He walked over and picked up the Ancestral God Rank Elixir. It was about the size of a fist and had mysterious inscriptions on its surface.James suppressed his excitement and carefully stored it away.The Heavenly Flame Sect’s Leader was puzzled and could not help asking, “What wa
Tadhg Gallagher nodded gently and said, “With the Blood Essence of powerful figures we’ve collected all these years, combined with the Resurrection Formation, I’m sure we can resurrect the Lord.”The Formation that James destroyed prior to this had reappeared in this world. Numerous mysterious words floated in the air. They were as red as blood, a result of the absorption of numerous Blood Essences of powerful figures. Suddenly, the Blood Essence within the Resurrection Formation gathered, forming a pillar of blood. The pillar descended from the azure, embedding itself within a sierra.The Leader of the Sanctuary of Darkness appeared at the core of the Formation in the sky. As his hands waved, mysterious carvings materialized. Subsequently, he took out a piece of treasure–-a magical bottle. When he turned the bottle cap, a spirit escaped from the bottle. The spirit was nebulous, its face unclear to the naked eye.“Go,” With a wave of Tadhg’s hand, the spirit headed toward the pill
The Leader of the Sanctuary made his prediction, but while Thea Callahan existed in his foresight, James was absent. He also looked into Thea’s background, but she had not interacted with anyone other than James since arriving in the Boundless Realm. He also knew that there was a mysterious powerful figure who had disrupted the plans of the Sanctuary more than once. While he suspected that James was one of them, he was not sure. James was too powerful, so much so that even Tamuuz Darkness was not his opponent. That could only mean that James has attained a rank higher than the Grand Emperor Rank’s Seventh Heaven. Although he was not sure if James was the messenger, he was sure that he would be one of his most challenging opponents.The middle-aged man with a tail looked very concerned as he stood in midair. James had already found the second Ancestral God Rank Elixir.“My Lord, what should we do now?” Tadhg asked, but the man was still concentrating on envisaging where the rest of
Emperor Jabari waved at James, then continued his closed-door meditation.James left the Celestial Abode and appeared in the outer realm.“Honey, how was it?” Thea inquired.James replied, “We found out that the area is called the Boundless Sea.”Nico Eastwood immediately said, “I’ve heard of the Boundless Sea. It’s a galaxy made not out of planets, but water. The area of this galaxy is colossal.”He looked at James and continued to say, “Have you found out where exactly the monster is?”James shook his head and said, “The Emperor couldn’t predict that, because the monster shown is a powerful figure who has attained the Grand Emperor Rank’s Seventh Heaven. If we want to find out, we’ve no other choice than to go to the Boundless Sea to see for ourselves. Plus…”He paused for a moment and continued, “The Emperor said that he could feel an uncanny aura. This time, it won’t be easy to retrieve the Elixir from the Boundless Sea. There may be an intense battle waiting for us.”Thea
The outer area of the Boundless Sea was constituted entirely of waters.James, Thea, and Nico advanced into the Sea for around three days before they finally saw an island. The island’s area was so huge it was as big as a metropolis in the outer world. They appeared above the island. Beneath them were crustaceans and fish that came from the waters. They evolved into the shape of humans, appearing on the coast and subsequently entering the city.Three of them descended and landed in front of the city gates on the coast. They followed the shoals of Seafolk in entering the city.Nico said, “If we want to look into the background of this humongous whale, we should approach the owner of the island.”“Right,” James agreed.The three of them arrived at the city center, where there was a bureau. Its gates were engraved with some vibrant ancient writings.James raised his head and took a look at the words. He understood them immediately.“Garland Residence.”He walked into the compoun
Chancellor Garland turned around and entered the residence, followed by James, Thea, and Nico.At the main hall of the residence, the Chancellor sat in his seat. His expression was filled with worry.James asked, “What’s wrong? Is this a troublesome thing for you?”Garland let out a sigh and said, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to share what I know. It’s just that Grand Emperor Moacir Bartholomew makes my blood run cold. No Seafolk in the entire Boundless Sea is his match, not even the Four Dragon Kings. The Grand Emperor is notoriously frightening. He single-handedly destroyed the Dragon Palace of the Northern Sea, wiping out innumerable Seafolk.”He sighed again.James said, “Don’t worry. Just continue.”“Right.” Garland nodded. He went deep into thought for quite a while before saying, “Grand Emperor Moacir Bartholomew lives in the northern part of the Boundless Sea called the Northern Pole Sea. He’s the ruler of the Boundless Sea whose power could chill one’s blood to the marro
The three of them advanced at high speed. They did not tear apart the void to get to their destination. However, since all three of them were powerful figures, they could still move very quickly. One step, and they disappeared from the area.Very soon, Thea started sensing the battle as well. Her expression was serious as she said, “The remnants of the battle are frightening. Those fighting must have attained the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Heaven or beyond.”James’ power was comparatively weak, so he could not sense the aura of the battle. However, after hearing what Thea said, he was stupefied. A fight between figures of the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Heaven? There were only a handful of them in the Boundless Realm. He thought of a possibility—a fight between the Leader of the Sanctuary of Darkness and Grand Emperor Moacir Bartholomew.“Hurry,” he called out, and his companions picked up speed.It did not take long for James to finally sense the battle’s aura. The aura was so oppr
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
