At that moment, in Cumulus Palace…A guard hurriedly rushed in and knelt on one knee. Wearing a panicked expression, he said, “Reporting! There’s a terrifying aura coming from the Mortal Dimension. James’ Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword has pierced through the barriers of the Mortal and Sage Dimensions.”Boom!At that moment, the Divine Sword pierced through a palace and appeared outside Cumulus Palace. Terrifying Sword Energy shredded through the air, and the entire palace shook.“Kill them all!”Xandros ordered.In the main hall, many soldiers brandished their weapons and rushed out. Some powerful figures simply sat by the sidelines and watched the show. They were the ones on Yehuda and Connor’s side.In the main hall stood a woman. Wearing a white dress, she had a grim expression on her beautiful face. Glancing at Xandros who was sitting on the throne, she approached him and asked, “My Lord, do we really have to do this? You were the one who nurtured James into the man he is today.
Excalibur was the sword of the Jade Emperor in the Primordial Age and was a symbol of power. This sword possessed immense power and was only weaker than an Ancestral God Weapon. Throughout history, many eras and ages had come to an end. However, not all living beings would perish. The death of an era merely meant the transition from a golden age into a dark age. All powerful figures who survived would conceal themselves in the shadows.Xandros summoned Excalibur, and his body exuded a powerful aura.“James, let’s battle in outer space.”“As you wish,” James said.This was the Human Realm, and Xandros was an Eighth Heaven Grand Emperor. If he went all-out, he would surely cause great destruction. It was something that the Human Race could not withstand.Xandros flew out of Earth and the solar system and arrived at a planet devoid of life in the Milky Way.“Let’s go,” James said.Then, many powerful figures charged out of Earth together.In outer space, James, Silvester, Helviu
Yehuda hurriedly stepped forward after Xandros’ death.“Hahaha…”A peal of laughter came from the main hall. Then, Connor stepped forward and looked at Yehuda, saying smilingly, “I, Connor Landon, am a Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor as well. If I’m in charge of the Heavenly Court, no realm would ever dare attack us.”“I support Yehuda!”“I support Connor!”Many spoke up.At that moment, many began to take sides.All these people had been bribed by Yehuda and Connor in advance for this day.On the throne, James said with a mischievous smile on his face, “In that case, let’s have a battle. The last one standing will be the Lord of the Heavenly Court and the Human Race.”Yehuda glanced at James and said coldly, “James, you’ve suffered injuries after fighting against Xandros. How do you plan on fighting me?”As he said that, he glanced at Connor. James was not the primary threat to him, Connor was.Silence fell on Cumulus Palace as if a storm were brewing on the horizon. At that mom
Yehuda and Connor were not fools. Although they had been eyeing the throne for some time, they knew they could only compromise as they lacked the strength to fight against the Fiend and Demon Realms. Originally, James planned to annihilate Yehuda and Connor. However, circumstances had changed. These two were Ninth Heaven Grand Emperors. In the future, the Fiend and Demon Realms would surely band together and attack the Human Race. Keeping them alive would be in the interest of the Human Race.“Alright now, you’re dismissed.”James waved slightly.The Supreme Fiend Lord and the Azurean Clan’s Grand Patriarch turned to leave. They only came here to intimidate James’ opponents. After the powerful figures of the Fiend and Demon Realms left, the others in the main hall gradually left. Soon, only James remained in the main hall. Shortly after, Jacopo walked in. Looking at James who was in deep contemplation on the throne, he said with a hint of displeasure, “Are you satisfied now?”Jam
A man and a woman sat at the gates of Cumulus Palace’s Southen Heaven Gate.James narrated the events that unfolded after Sophie left and the reasons why he overthrew Xandros.“I’m in a bind. I don’t know what to do. You’re intelligent, Sophie, and you’re the daughter of the war god of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age. Do you have anything in mind?”Sophie shook her head slightly.She did not have the time to think about this. Being together with James made adrenaline rush through her veins.“I have an idea,” came a voice.James turned around and saw a man walking toward them.“Walganus,” James hurriedly stood up and said smilingly, “It’s been a while.”The man was Walganus Jaxon, whose real name was Hilarius Yahir. He was the son of the Jade Emperor in the Ancient Heavenly Court Age.James looked at him and asked, “What do you have in mind?”Walganus took a seat and said, “There’s no need for you to worry about anything. Both Yehuda and Connor have no interest in power and aut
Since the most troublesome matter was dealt with, James could leave with peace of mind after Jacopo was crowned Lord of the Human Race and the Four Heavenly Lords were appointed.After a brief conversation, James turned to leave and went searching for Jacopo. Jacopo was sitting in the courtyard of his manor, gazing straight ahead blankly with a surly expression.James walked toward him.He hurriedly stood up and said, “Dad.”No matter what James had done, he was still his father. Without James, humanity would not have survived.James nodded slightly and said, “I have dealt with the obstacles in your path. Now, you’ll have to rely on yourself in the future. Once you officially become the Lord of the Human Race, I’ll leave this place and search for your mother.”“Mhm, I understand. I’ll do my best.”Now, Jacopo could only obey James’ wishes and become the Lord of the Heavenly Court.After meeting Jacopo, James turned to leave and went looking for Silvester and the others to discu
“Melinda Theophanes.”Hearing her name, Melinda froze momentarily before stepping forward.Jacopo said, “Melinda Theophanes, you were instrumental in resolving the Fourth Calamity of the Human Race. As such, you shall be made the Grand Priestess of the Heavenly Court.”“Alright, then.”Melinda could only reluctantly agree.She had no interest whatsoever in becoming the Heavenly Court’s Grand Priestess. However, she suspected that this was James’ plan. He was worried that the Human Race would descend into chaos once he was gone. By tying her to the Heavenly Court, she was also tied to the fate of the Human Race as well as Jacopo.The coronation ceremony continued.Some well-renowned humans were also appointed as important figures of the Heavenly Court.James was not in the main hall. Rather, he was at the South Heaven Gate. Sitting at the South Heaven Gate, he sensed everything that was happening in the main hall. Sensing that the coronation ceremony was a complete success, a fa
The most elite figures of the Human Race gathered before the Formation. Even some powerful figures from the Fiend and Demon Realms were present. James was the one who gathered them here. As his strength was limited, he could not return to the Primeval Age without their help. Back then, despite Xandros using the Time Capsule’s power, James could only return 100,000 years in the past. Now, the time period he was heading to was in the Epochs. Even 100,000 Epochs might not bring him back to the Primeval Age.Tens of thousands of powerful figures gathered before the Formation. In the distance were James’ friends and relatives. They had been in the Mortal Dimension all this while. Hearing that James was leaving, they came to send him off.“Go, James.”Melinda gently pushed James.James strode forward and entered the Formation. Immediately, he was enveloped in a colorful radiant light. At that moment, he summoned Crucifier and Exalter and catalyzed Yin and Yang Power. Then, Crucifier an
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
