James stayed in Wrymstead for the time being.The stay lasted three days.During these three days, he spent all his time with Thea. However, Thea was dispirited, as if something was bothering her. Yet, when James asked, she said that there was nothing.“Honey.”In a room in a courtyard behind Wyrmstead Palace, Thea was snuggled up in James’ arms. She said, “You’ve been back for a few days now. It seems that you still have some friends at Mount Bane. Go meet them while Earth is still peaceful.”“Okay.” James nodded.Some of his friends were indeed at Mount Bane. He had spent these few days in Wyrmstead and had not gone to Mount Bane.“Go ahead and come back soon.” She pushed James outside the house.“Alright.” James nodded.He then left Wyrmstead and made his way to Sol’s Mount Bane.The moment he left, the smile on Thea’s face froze.She did not linger in the room and quickly left for a courtyard in the palace.It was Quincy’s residence.Thea pushed open the gate and walke
Quincy understood Thea’s feelings. She asked, “Is there anything I can do to help?”Thea wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand and said, “I’m afraid that James will be heartbroken after I’m gone. He is a cultivator. If the Earth survives the Fourth Calamity unscathed, he will live a long life. I don’t want him to spend the rest of his life alone. I hope that after I’m gone, you can take good care of him.” “Me?” Quincy said with resignation, “How am I supposed to do that?”Thea took Quincy’s hands and said, “I know you’ve always liked James. I don’t feel comfortable leaving James to others. This is my only request. I hope you will accept.” Quincy furrowed her brow and asked, “Is there really no other option? Do you really have to sacrifice yourself to save others?”Thea shook her head and said, “There are no other options. This is the only way, or else all humans in the universe will perish, including you, James, and even my family. I’m also happy that I
James appeared on the outskirts of Mount Bane.It had been a thousand years. Many mountain ranges had appeared at Mount Bane. This region grew enormously. Many sects of the Three Thousand Worlds established their branches in Mount Bane.Many areas of Mount Bane were occupied by powerful figures from the Three Thousand Worlds. There were also some from other worlds in the universe.In short, the current Mount Bane had grown quite lively.The most lively region was Bane City in Mount Bane. As the area of Mount Bane grew in size, the territory of Bane City extended as well. Bane City was currently a megacity.James entered Mount Bane. Along the way, he came across many cultivators.The majority of these cultivators were humans. Some of them were living beings of the Beast Race. Almost all of these living beings appeared after James had left, so they did not know James.Soon, James saw the entrance to Bane City.“Have you heard? Empress Brielle has arrived at Mount Bane. She’s in B
These guards did not save James’ face at all.James rubbed his nose with a look of resignation. If he wanted to pass through this entrance, it seemed that he would need to show a bit of what he was capable of.“How would you make it difficult for me?”James gave a faint smile and took a few steps forward.Whoosh!One of the guards immediately drew his sword and pressed the sharp blade against James’ chest.“Try to move again if you dare,” threatened the Labhrann Clan guard.“Hmph.” James huffed coldly and was about to strike.“What’s going on?”At this very moment, a voice came over.Many guards turned toward the voice and immediately greeted the person with a smile.James turned to look as well. A man who appeared to be in his twenties walked over. He was wearing a golden robe. Behind his back were a pair of vivid and lifelike wings.“Lord Sabrathan, you have arrived. The Empress of my clan has been waiting for you for quite some time. Please enter.”When the Labhrann Cla
The earliest batch of living beings and humans to appear on Mount Bane all knew James.James was the top prodigy of Earth’s human race who emerged during the Apocalypse Age.Though the living beings and humans who came later never met James, they had heard of his name.“What a prodigy of Earth’s human race. When he’s up against a prodigy of a prominent race from the Demon Realm, he doesn’t even have the guts to let out a fart.”“Nowadays, the human race is the lowest race in the universe. The Heavenly Path has abandoned them.”There were a lot of voices coming from all around.Sabrathan spread his legs apart, pointed at the ground, and said, “If you want to go inside, go between my legs. Of course, you have another choice.”Changing the subject, Sabrathan said, “If you can withstand one strike from me, you may enter.”James placed his hands behind his back. His expression was calm. He gave a faint smile and said, “Are you sure?”“I’m sure,” Sabrathan said firmly.With his han
Regardless, no one expected James to emerge so quickly and be able to fight against a prominent cultivator of the Divine Rank’s Third Stage now.With a calm expression on his face, James held the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and looked ahead at Sabrathan.At this moment, some guards of the Labhranns’ Residence stepped forward, drew their swords, and pointed them at James. One of the guards roared, “James, what are you trying to do? This is the Labhranns’ Residence. It’s not a place where you can behave atrociously.”“Get lost,” said James.As he said that, a powerful force erupted from his body. Incorporeal force seeped out, and the surrounding Labhrann Clan guards were immediately jolted back into the air and collapsed to the ground. Before these guards could pull themselves up from the ground, James began to move.He rushed forward immediately, forming a straight line with his body and the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword in his hand.The moment he started to move, a terrifying Sword I
James spoke casually, but everyone was appalled as they listened to him.With a shocked expression on her face, Brielle took a few steps forward, and asked, “What? You killed Sabrathan?”“Yes, he was killed. What about it?” said James indifferently.Cold sweat had formed on Brielle’s forehead.“James, you’re too rash. Do you know how powerful the Fallen Angel Clan is? It’s one of the most prominent races in the Demon Realm. Sabrathan was the son of the Fallen Angel King. You killed Sabrathan. The Fallen Angel King will not let this go.“Sigh… There’s nothing more to say at this point. I’ll do my best to help you. If the Labhrann Clan steps in, there may be a chance to turn this around.”As matters stood, Brielle had nothing else to say.She was already planning how to save James in her head.Henrik, on the other hand, walked over, patted James on his shoulder, and said with a smile, “Way to go, James. Sabrathan, that brat, has long irritated me.”Qusai also walked over and cal
Although the Labhrann Clan was a powerful faction in the Demon Realm, Brielle was only a First Heaven Grand Emperor. On the other hand, the Fallen Angel Clan had a Third Heaven Grand Emperor.If the Fallen Angel Clan was determined to kill James, Brielle knew she could not stop them.“What should I do?” Brielle was distraught.She walked over to James.James saw Brielle walking over with an unusual expression and asked. “What’s wrong?”Brielle replied, “I just got news that the Fallen Angel Clan has left for Earth using the Hadean Clan’s passage.”He was startled for a bit, but then said with a smile, “There’s nothing to worry about. We’re on Earth right now. We'll wipe them out if they mess around on our territory.”Henrik gave a thumbs up and said approvingly, “You’re the man, James! You might be the only one who would even consider wiping out the Fallen Angel Clan.”Brielle stomped her feet and said furiously, “Do you understand the situation you’re in right now? How can y
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
