On a training ground at the back of the Celestial Abode, James ordered the soldiers that were previously here to rest.Now, a new batch of 400,00 men gathered.James looked at them and said, “You are some of the greatest figures of all of humankind. You must have heard of the Four Calamities on Earth. Now, the Third Calamity has appeared in the form of a Curse. All humans in the universe have been cursed. In this universe, ordinary people are the majority. As they can’t endure Curse Power, they will slowly die. Of course, the same goes for some cultivators. You are powerful figures who are able to resist the Curse Power, but you cannot remove the Curse. So, first, allow me to remove it.”James’ voice boomed.Then, he summoned the mysterious Jade Seal, which hovered in the air. Then, he catalyzed the Jade Seal, from which mysterious power materialized. At that moment, the Curse Power of those 400,000 men was slowly absorbed by the Jade Seal, which in turn was transported into Jame
“Very good.” Ludwig nodded and said nonchalantly, “The Third Calamity has descended, and the Fourth is just around the corner. James must be panicking now. He will certainly think of a way to seize the Ancestral God Rank Elixir in the Sanctuary’s possession. If my calculations are correct, he will launch an all-out assault on us soon.”Hearing this, Tadhg was stunned as he asked, “My Lord, the powerful figures of the Sanctuary are out searching for the final remaining fragment. If James attacks while we’re gone, what do we do?”Ludwig waved slightly and said, “There’s nothing to worry about. James is nothing to me. Even the figure backing him in the shadows is no match for me.”Ludwig was confident in his strength. His strength had returned to its pinnacle, and he was only slightly weaker than an Ancestral God. In this world where Ancestral Gods no longer exist, he was invincible.“Alright now, you’re dismissed.” He waved a hand slightly.“Understood.”Tadhg and the others nodded
“Let’s move out!” James yelled.Then, as he waved his hand, the 400,000-strong army left the Celestial Abode.In the Elixir Residence of Sky City…After bringing the 400,000 Quasi Emperors to the Celestial Abode to cultivate, Silvester summoned every powerful figure of the Pavilion to stay put and await their commands.At that moment, Silvester sensed the presence of 400,000 Quasi Emperors. Then, James appeared.“James.” Silvester rushed toward him.“Mhm.” James nodded and asked, “Are we prepared to move out?”Silvester nodded. “Yes, we can move out anytime.”James said, “Good. Give me a minute.”Then, he entered the Celestial and found Jabari, saying, “Grand Emperor, we are ready to move out.”Jabari casually waved his hand, and a scroll appeared before him before hovering over to James.He said, “This is the map of the Sanctuary’s headquarters which I obtained after serious extrapolation.”“Thank you.”James accepted the scroll. Then, he turned to leave the Celestial Abo
Tadhg did not hesitate and immediately turned to leave. Then, he catalyzed a secret art and summoned the powerful figures of the Sanctuary back. Upon receiving the order, the Sanctuary’s powerful figures returned at once. In a short amount of time, many of them had gathered at the headquarters on Polaris.Polaris was a planet devoid of Spiritual Energy. The sky was greyish, and the world seemed lifeless and barren.At that moment, a fissure appeared in the sky outside Polaris. Then, swarms of airships gushed out. They exuded an intimidating aura.James was in the airship at the forefront, looking at the planet before him.Silvester pointed at the planet and said, “That’s Polaris.”“Mhm.”James nodded.At that moment, he asked Jabari, “Grand Emperors, how’s your strength recovering?”Jabari’s expression was grim. At that moment, he had yet to regain his peak form and was only a slight distance away.He said, “I haven’t fully recovered, but don’t worry. In the past, I have left
The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword was a true Ancestral God Weapon. Though it possessed terrifying power, its true power could not be unleashed while in James’ possession. The opposite was true for Emperor Jabari, however. As a cultivator at the peak of the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven, the Ancestral God Weapon’s concealed power was completely unleashed.Holding the Ancestral God Weapon in hand, Jabari turned to look at James and said, “We don’t need so many of our men there. They will just be cannon fodder. Once we get rid of Heaven’s Adjudicator, the rest will be no threat to us.”He waved slightly and said, “You’re dismissed. Only a remaining few need to stay and fight.”Hearing this, James fell into deep thought. Then, he ordered, “Apart from the 400,000 Quasi Emperors, everyone else should leave and stay far away from the region.”James knew what Emperor Jabari was concerned about. They would emerge victorious once Heaven’s Adjudicator was defeated. Otherwise, they would be de
“Meanwhile, the one who manages a universe is called a Macrocosm Ancestral God. Theophanes, the one who created the Heavenly Path of the Twelfth Universe, is a Macrocosm Ancestral God. The same goes for the other eleven universes. Not only that, there is more than one Macrocosm Ancestral God in other universes. If it weren’t for the fact that Lord Theophanes had to be wary of the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods of other universes, he wouldn’t have allowed you people to run amok,” Ludwig said nonchalantly.As a Heaven’s Adjudicator, he was constantly by Lord Theophanes the Macrocosm Ancestral God’s side. As such, he was extremely knowledgeable. Hearing this, James was dumbfounded.Twelve universes? He could not believe that there were twelve universes in this world. Not only that, there was even a rank beyond the Ancestral God—the Macrosom Ancestral God Rank. Meanwhile, the creator of the Heavenly Path was a Macrocosm Ancestral God.The others were all confounded. Most of them lived in th
In the Primeval Age, living beings could reach the Ancestral God Rank through cultivation. As the most prominent of all races, the human race produced the most Ancestral Gods. However, the human race’s Ancestral Gods wished to annihilate the Heavenly Path. Ever since the end of the Primeval Age, the Heavenly Path stopped anyone who could potentially surpass the peak of the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven from appearing. As such, that was the pinnacle of cultivation.James’ Formation was extremely powerful. After all, this was the combined power of 400,000 Quasi Emperors that was comparable to the peak of the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven.However, Ludwig was undaunted. That was because he knew that there would never be a power that surpassed the peak of the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven. His strength, on the other hand, was at the Quasi Ancestral God Rank. As such, he was unrivaled in this world and age.Standing in mid-air, James received the combined power of the 400,000
Emperor Jabari was on guard. At that moment, he raised his arm, and 10,000 Paths emerged from the Divine Sword in his hand. Fusing the power of the Paths with the sword, he pierced the black energy ball.Boom!The void immediately exploded. The ripples of the explosion shredded through the air, destroying the planets in the region. Standing a distance away, James could sense a terrifying power sweeping toward him. Now, however, as he had absorbed the power of 400,000 Quasi Emperors, he was able to withstand this power. The same went for the 400,000 figures in the Formation.Jabari deflected the attack. However, he now knew how terrifying Ludwig was. Though the move was ordinary, he had to use his full strength to deflect the attack. If this continued, he would certainly be defeated.At that moment, James was unwilling to remain on the sidelines. His body flashed, and he appeared on the battlefield. As his mind stirred, 108 Infinity Steles materialized into being. Then, the Five E
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
