In the deepest part of the universe, James floated in the starry space surrounded by more than a hundred of Heaven’s Adjudicators.These Heaven’s Adjudicators mastered one of the Five Great Paths—the Space Path. Their bodies constantly shifted through space, and James could not pinpoint their locations despite possessing the strength of an Ancestral God.James frowned. Suddenly, he felt a spatial fluctuation in front of him. James immediately reacted and thrust the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword forward.Terrifying power erupted with just one move. The space before him split open, and a Heaven’s Adjudicator emerged. The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword struck against a Scythe of Judgment.Boom!!!A powerful force erupted from weapons colliding.As a result, a massive black hole appeared in the area. It was enormous and about the size of a major planet.James was knocked away by the force.Although he had the power of an Ancestral God, he had never possessed such extraordinary stren
While fighting, James gradually gained control of strength in his body.After half a day, he was finally able to wield it properly.Every move he made after that contained the explosive power of an Ancestral God and was incredibly destructive.Slowly, he turned the tides. Although there were over a hundred Heaven’s Adjudicators, they were afraid to attack James head-on and launched sneak attacks while moving around the surrounding space.“The Space Path is really unpleasant to fight against.”James was getting frustrated by his opponents.Suddenly, he felt a mysterious force seep into the air.Shortly after, he was immobilized.It felt like time had stopped, or more precisely, someone had specifically stopped his time.As soon as he was immobilized, about eight Heaven’s Adjudicators teleported in front of him and swung their Scythe of Judgments at James in unison.Even though James’ physical strength was at the Ancestral God Rank, the Heaven’s Adjudicators were Quasi Ancest
James was forced to use the Inifinity Steles and Five Elements of Genesis when he was cornered.Finally, he gained the upper hand against the Heaven’s Adjudicators.None of his opponents dared to challenge him and were forced to temporarily step back.James finally had an opportunity to take a breath.The Infinity Steles flew back to James and whirled around his body. James sat in a lotus position, using his power to treat his wounds.However, the Heavenly Path’s might was terrifying, and his powers could not heal much of the injuries. It would take him a long time to recuperate and heal himself.Right now, he did not have the luxury of time.Suddenly, James felt a fluctuation in the space around him. Shortly after, a Heaven’s Adjudicator charged at him.An Infinity Stele immediately came crashing in his assailant’s direction.The Heaven’s Adjudicator held onto a Scythe of Judgment, and a gleaming, black Sword Light emerged. It slashed down at the Infinity Stele.The Infini
Suddenly, Melinda disappeared into thin air.The next moment, she appeared in the Aqua Realm.Melinda stood before a black palace somewhere in the Aqua Realm.“Heaven’s Adjudicators have descended, and humans are now facing the Fourth Calamity. James has consumed the Ancestral God Rank Elixir and gained the power of an Ancestral God. He is currently fighting against Heaven’s Adjudicators.“Despite possessing the power of an Ancestral God, James still lacks a deeper understanding of Cultivation Paths. If he continues fighting like this, he’ll die.“Are you really not going to show yourself?”Melinda’s voice echoed in the desolate area.However, no response came from the black palace.Melinda waited in place. After a while, the black palace’s gates creaked open. A woman about 180 centimeters tall with jet-black hair walked out in a black dress.She had beautiful facial features and gave off an extraordinary impression.The woman stood at the palace gates and looked at Melinda
Winnie was an Ancestral God and had insight into many future events.She knew James would not die and would surely win the fight.However, Melinda’s words made her doubt herself.Melinda mentioned that James would die if she did not take action. If that came to pass, the humans would fail to survive the Fourth Calamity, and everything would cease to exist.The Heavenly Path would collapse, the Twelfth Universe would fall, and everything that happened would be just like a dream.However, Winnie would face severe consequences if she were to intervene, and it would not just be as simple as death.Melinda looked at Winnie silently.After a while, she said, “Whether you help him or not is up to you.”Melinda turned around and disappeared from the palace gates in a flash.At that moment, the fight between James and the Heaven’s Adjudicators was still ongoing in the deepest part of the universe.James had unleashed all his secret weapons.The nine Path Seals in his body exuded powe
Although James killed one of the adjudicators, his physical body had sustained many wounds in the process.The price he had to pay just to kill a single opponent was too great.James looked terrible. His hair was a mess and his body was full of bloody wounds. He called back the Infinity Steles with a thought. The Infinity Steles revolved around his body and put him at the center of a protective formation.Meanwhile, the Elemental Wheel hovered above his head.James flashed a grin. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth, but there was a smile on his face.Killing one of the Heaven’s Adjudicators was a great start.He scanned the surroundings for the other Heaven’s Adjudicators hidden within the space. His only option was to take them out one by one.The other Heaven’s Adjudicators predicted James’ next move. As such, they stayed away and avoided attacking him directly. They knew James’ boosted strength was only temporary and were trying to prolong the fight.As long as they could
After the deaths of two of their comrades, the remaining Heaven’s Adjudicators began discussing a countermeasure.Meanwhile, the human powerhouses’ tense expressions relaxed significantly after witnessing James kill two Heaven’s Adjudicators.“James killed two of them. He’s off to a good start.”“However, he’s sustained quite a lot of injuries. It’s tough to recover from injuries dealt by the Scythes of Judgement.”Although things looked optimistic, a few human powerhouses were still worried.On the battlefield, James was covered in wounds. However, that hardly slowed him down.There was no telling how much longer the Ancestral God Rank Elixir’s power could last, and he had to get rid of the Heaven’s Adjudicators before the effects wore off.James looked around him, trying to find his next target.Unexpectedly, one Heaven’s Adjudicator took the initiative to attack him.The Infinity Steles protected James, but the Heaven’s Adjudicator had mastered the Space Path. He immediatel
Swoosh!A void split open before Winnie and a beautiful woman walked out.It was Melinda.Melinda said, “You’re here, Winnie. James is already heavily injured. The Heaven’s Adjudicators have chosen to self-destruct to kill James. James won’t be able to wipe them out by himself if things go on like this.”“Let’s fight together.”Melinda looked at Winnie and said, “Although I’m only a Quasi Ancestral God right now, my soul is still that of an Ancestral God. I’m capable of fending off three to five of them. Since you’re an Ancestral God as well, you should be able to fight at least ten of them. We can help lighten James’ burden.”Winnie hesitated.Melinda persuaded her. “There’s no time to hesitate. If you delay any longer, the effects of the Ancestral God Rank Elixir might wear off. By then, we won’t have a chance to emerge victorious even if you involved yourself.”“Should I really interfere?” Winnie frowned in concern.She worried about her actions. Winnie was a Heaven’s Adj
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
