Upon arriving at the peak, they saw a long queue. Many living beings were in the queue to register their personal information. So, James and Letitia joined the queue as well. After a few days, it was finally their turn. After registering their information, the disciples of the Path Sect gave them a token and informed them to return and await further notice.So, James and Letitia left the Path Sect temporarily.Holding the token in her hand, Letitia was filled with consternation. Though she had cultivated three Ousias, only her Sword Path Ousia was considered powerful. With her strength, she might not make it into the top three.Worried, she looked at James and asked, “Do you think I can enter the top three and secure a spot?”James shrugged and said, “How would I know? I don’t know your strength nor the other cultivators’ strengths.”Hearing this, Letitia fell silent.Soon, they returned to the inn.Upon returning to the inn, Letitia returned to her room and regulated her condit
With James’ strength, he could help secure a spot for an additional person in this competition easily.Hearing this, Letitia asked excitedly, “Really?”“Of course,” James replied.“Thank you, then.” Letitia was full of gratitude.Then, they soared to the sky and entered the Interdimensional Realm, a realm created by extremely powerful figures with rules and order. The realm was normally used by their disciples to train inside. The Interdimensional Realm was huge.James appeared on a mountain of the Interdimensional Realm. Though the place was huge, there were billions of cultivators at the Divine Rank’s Third Consolidation participating in the competition. So, figures could be seen all over the place.The rules of this competition were cruel. Billions of participants would fight to the end to secure a spot to observe the blossoming of the Sacred Blossom. Concealing oneself in the Interdimensional Realm was futile. That was because there was no time limit in the Interdimension
James’ body flickered. He chased after the man. The next moment, he appeared behind the man, the pink sword that he held now hung over his back. Facing this living being, James was disinterested in resorting to violence. If he was, the person would no longer be standing in front of him.“Leave while you still can,” he ordered coldly. A chill ran down the man’s spine. James was too fast. Way too fast for him to react. How was this speed possible for someone of the Divine Rank? He wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. Then he shattered his token, disappearing from the Interdimensional Realm.Letitia rushed towards James. The shock on her beautiful face was unconcealable, as she said, “That was so fast. If you attacked me, I probably would have died before I could even come out with my next move.”James let out a faint smile. A living being of the Divine Rank fighting against him was nothing short of provocative. Putting his physical strength aside, with the ten Ousias alone, the
The more Letitia thought about it, the more excited she became. She has always believed that she had potential. The only thing she was lacking was an opportunity. Now that her chance had appeared, she was determined to become a cultivator whose name would spread far and wide.Her heart fluttered as she thought about this.James was not pressured at all by the battle among the Divine Ranks this time. Throughout this journey within the Interdimensional Realm with Letitia, he produced an aura so strong that each living being he encountered would obediently leave the Realm.In the outer realm, an Elder of the Path Sect was intensely observing every happenstance within the Realm. He was a Quasi Ancestral God who was in charge of the fights among the Divine Rank’s Third Consolidation. His attention was focused on James.‘This youngster is quite amazing. I wonder whose disciple he is,’ the elder, called Xbalanque Darby, thought to himself. James’ success led him to be interested in the yo
Very quickly, only James and Letitia remained in the Interdimensional Realm. James’ body descended from the sky. As he landed on the ground, he smilingly looked at Letitia, “All done. Now that there are only the two of us left here, we’ll be able to watch the Sacred Blossom should there be no mishaps.”Gratitude showered Letitia’s beautiful face.James’ display of power was getting stronger. She was very thankful that she did not take heed of her father’s words. Otherwise, she could have lost much providence and fortune.Shish! A flash of light materialized, followed by an Elder appearing before James.James recognized the man as the Quasi Ancestral God from before. Facing the Elder, James respectfully greeted him.Xbalanque Darby caressed his white beard while looking at James. With a simple glance, he said, “Very impressive. While your rank isn’t high, your physical strength and Soul Power are striking.”James humbly thanked Xbalanque, “That’s very kind of you to say.”“I mean
Although James refused to join the Path Sect, Letitia’s eyes were still directed at Xbalanque, full of hope. The three Ousias she had cultivated were enough to qualify her for any sect in the universe and to become the disciple of the Superorthodox faction. However, the selection process to become the Inner Disciples of powerful figures was much more difficult. Since their energy is limited, they were very strict with the criteria of their disciples.She looked at Xbalanque and asked hopefully, “Would I do? I’m a person who cultivated three Ousias. Since I’m also a force to be reckoned with, can I join the Path Sect?” She was clearly eager to be a part of the sect.Xbalanque took a look at her and asked, “You’ve cultivated three Ousias?”“Yes,” Letitia answered earnestly.Xbalanque caressed his white beard while he spoke, saying, “Impressive… However, our next disciple recruitment date is in another thirty thousand years. If you really want to join the Path Sect, do come. You will
He immediately pulled out some paper currency from the Celestial ABode and drew a picture of Thea before handing it over to Letitia. He asked, “Have you seen her before?”Letitia accepted the picture and scrutinized it.Immediately, she had the shock of her life.“I-Isn’t this Bria Callahan?”“Bria Callahan?” James froze and asked, “Do you know her?”Letitia returned the picture to James and said, “I know her, but she doesn’t know me.”James asked, “Who is this… Bria Callahan?”Letitia explained, “There are many powerful families in the universe, and among them are the Calalhans, who are some of the most distinguished families in this world. Bria Callahan is truly a powerful figure. As a Caelum Ancestral God, she’s only a step away from becoming a Macrocosm Ancestral God. According to the strength ranking, she’s in the top ten in this universe.”James listened intently. Hearing this, he was now sure that Bria Callahan was Thea’s past and original self.“Top ten of this univers
Now, James had nothing else he wished for. He only hoped to find Thea and to save Winnie who was trapped by the Heavenly Path. First, however, he needed to cross into the Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank or become the controller of the Heavenly Path. No matter which path he took, it would be extremely difficult.James’ words made Letitia freeze. She never expected him to be a man with a story. Then, the two remained in the courtyard and waited. James continued to use Dark Power to suppress and rejuvenate the Heavenly Path’s injuries inside his body.In the blink of an eye, the day of the Sacred Blossom’s blossoming had arrived.Knock! Knock! Knock!A knock came on the door.Letitia hurriedly stood up and rushed to the door.Outside stood a disciple of the Path Sect who said respectfully, “The Sacred Blossom is about to blossom. The Sect Elder sent me here to inform you that the admission has begun.”Those who were able to spectate the Sacred Blossom were the elites of the elites. So
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
