Murchadt looked at Letitia and said, “Go meet him.”Letitia remained silent and simply turned to leave. Then, she headed to the foyer.A man about twenty-five years of age was sitting there. Wearing a golden robe, he had a somewhat handsome-looking appearance and exuded the aura of a playboy.As Letitia walked toward him, he hurriedly stood up and looked at her endearingly.“You’re here, Letitia.”Letitia looked at him and asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”Ximun said smilingly, “Murchadt promised me that you would bring me to Mount Sword God. My Sword Path Ousia has accomplished the Third Consolidation, and it would be difficult for me to advance further. If I can listen to the Ancestral Sword Master’s sermons, maybe I’ll gain some insight and cross into the Quasi Emperor Rank.”Letitia looked at him and said, “I’m sorry, but I may not be able to bring you along.”“Why?” Ximun asked puzzledly.She replied, “That’s because I’ve promised someone else I would them along.”
To prevent any unexpected events from occurring, Letitia decided to leave now. So, she went looking for James and informed him of her decision before leaving together. However, before they could leave the gates, Murchadt appeared with a group of guards and blocked their path. He said coldly, “Where do you think you’re going? If you don’t bring Ximun along, say goodbye to your journey to Mount Sword God.”Letitia’s face darkened.“Think twice, Father. If I miss this opportunity, I will lose out on a great providence. This might be the opportunity the Lachesis family desperately needs to emerge as a force to be reckoned with.”Murcahdt said, “I have carefully considered this. I also wish for the Lachesis family to leave the Void Realm so that we can spread out name throughout the universe. However, there is a prerequisite. The Lachesis family must possess a strength that’s comparable to our ambitions. What’s the point of leaving the Void Realm if we don’t have any powerful figures?”
“Th-The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword… Impossible!”His expression was full of disbelief.The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword was the sword of the Ancestral Sword Master, who always had the sword by his side. He found it hard to believe that a cultivator at the Divine Rank possessed the sword of the Ancestral Sword Master.“Not bad…” James said, “I didn’t expect you to recognize the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.”“Wh-Who are you to the Ancestral Sword Master?” Murchadt’s voice trembled.However, at that moment, James could feel an overwhelming power charging toward him out of nowhere. Without any indication, he was crushed by the power, and the Divine Sword in his hand showed signs of disappearing.“What?” James was stunned.At that moment, unable to withstand the power, the Blood Energy inside his body churned, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. Meanwhile, the Divine Sword in his hand transformed into a purple light and disappeared into the Celestial Abode.‘What’s going on?’He was
The appearance of a Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword that came from the future caused anomalies to the one in the Ancestral Sword Master’s hands. Though he could sense that there was a similar sword in this age, he could not sense the whereabouts nor the identity of the wielder. He sat in a lotus position on the ground and fell into deep thought. Then, he made the decision to seal his own sword away. This meant that the Divine Sword of this age no longer existed. Thus, the appearance of the other Divine Sword would not bring about any anomalies. This also meant there was only a single Divine Sword in this age.Upon sealing his Divine Sword, he said, “Sword Guard.”A shadow appeared out of nowhere. Then, the shadow knelt on one knee and said melodiously, “Master.”The Ancestral Sword Master ordered, “There are now two Crepe Myrtle Divine Swords in this age, and I want you to investigate the whereabouts of the other Divine Sword. Remember not to spook the future owner of the Divine Sword.
Murchadt looked at James and said, “I’m not targeting you, Sir. This has nothing to do with you. Since your injuries have stabilized, please leave this place at once. The Lachesis family cannot accommodate you, I’m afraid.”Murchadt ordered James to leave.“I told you I’m not bringing garbage along,” Letitia said adamantly.James was at a loss.“Help me, Mr. Caden,” Letitia said. Seeing that James was hesitating, she hurriedly said, “I was the one who saved your life. Can’t you help me out a little here?”James was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Murchadt was an Eighth Heaven Grand Emperor. Though his physical strength was powerful, it was only equivalent to a Grand Emperor at the Fifth Heaven. What else could he do if Murchadt insisted on stopping them from leaving?He looked at Letitia and advised, “Why don’t you bring that Ximun guy along?”Letitia looked at him and fell into deep thought. After some time, she sighed deeply and said, “If you say so…”Letitia had no ot
After they boarded the Saucer, Letitia activated the Saucer, which slowly hovered in the air. Then, the Saucer’s speed began to accelerate. When it reached its maximum speed, the Saucer leaped into the void and left the Void Realm.Letitia’s Saucer was pretty high-class and had plenty of rooms. Upon boarding the Saucer, James was arranged a room of his own. In his room, he continued catalyzing the power of Dark Ousia inside his body to suppress the Heavenly Path’s injuries. At the same time, he used the Dark Power to rejuvenate his body.In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.A hundred years later, the Saucer suddenly stopped.Knock! Knock! Knock!While James was in a closed-door meditation, a knock came on the door.He stopped cultivating and opened the door. A gorgeous woman was standing outside. The woman was Letitia.“Mr. Caden, we have arrived at the Katun Realm. We will make a brief stop here to replenish the Saucer’s energy.”“Mhm.” James nodded and walked out o
Then, the Saucer left space and entered a radiant planet. This planet was the Katun Realm, a powerful world that was only beneath the Seven Realms. Each time the Sacred Blossom in the Katun Realm blossomed, countless powerful figures would flock over there to have a glimpse of the flower.Upon entering the Katun Realm, the Saucer landed in a powerful city called Path City. Meanwhile, the Sacred Blossom was located in a sect outside Path City called the Path Sect.Letitia brought James to an inn where they would stay and said, “Please rest here for now, Mr. Caden. I’ll go ask around.”“I’ll go with you, Letitia.” Ximun hurriedly chased after her.“Get lost.” She said coldly.Ximun, however, was not angry at all. Apparently, he had gotten used to her abrasive remarks. He said smilingly, “In that case, be careful on your way out!”Seeing this, James simply remained silent and entered his room. Sitting in a lotus position, he was lost in contemplation. Then, his body flashed, and he
James arrived at the ninth floor. Though there were many bookshelves here as well, there were lesser books on the bookshelves. James scanned his surroundings and immediately discovered Blossoming. As he headed toward the bookshelf where Blossoming was located, he noticed an ancient jade piece there. Holding the jade piece in his hand, he catalyzed his power and injected them into the object.At that moment, the jade piece began to glimmer. Mysterious characters materialized from within and appeared before James. James scrutinized the pieces of information.After some time, the jade piece returned to normal.James put down the jade piece, sat in a lotus position on the ground, and began absorbing the information he saw in earnest. As a Forbidden Art, Blossoming was an unparalleled Supernatural Power Jabari acquired beneath a withered Sacred Blossom. Once performed, one’s energy would be completely depleted. Even someone as mighty as Emperor Jabari could not support Blossoming and h
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
