James hurriedly left. For now, the most important thing was to survive.There were still many things he had not accomplished, and he refused to die so soon.Herschel was determined to kill him. Thus, even when the Ancestral Sword Master, Thea, and other powerhouses stepped forward to stop Herschel, it was useless.However, Herschel promised not to take action himself but would instead send powerhouses to hunt James.James’ physical strength was at the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Heaven. The powerhouses sent to hunt James down would be two ranks higher at most, equivalent to a Seventh Heaven Grand Emperor.Moreover, James would not be hunted by just one person but by thousands or even tens of thousands of powerhouses.James planned to escape quickly and stay in hiding for ten thousand years. He just had to make it through the time limit to be safe.In Mount Sword God’s main hall, the Ancestral Sword Master cast a glance at Herschel and disappeared without saying a word.Herschel
James had thought about fighting all the pursuers head-on before, but his cultivation rank was too low. He was a Fifth Heaven Grand Emperor and was not strong enough to fight all the powerhouses after him.If his cultivation rank matched his physical strength, he would not have to worry about meeting them head-on. He would have the confidence to fight whatever prodigies that came to challenge him. Even if they were two ranks higher, he could kill them.James roared furiously, “Ahh!!!”His voice resounded, and terrifying sound waves swept the surroundings. A few snow-capped mountains around him shattered instantly and caused an avalanche.James felt aggrieved.He had never felt so helpless throughout his cultivation journey before.In the past, he had always been the one suppressing others. Now, he had no choice but to run for his life because his enemy overpowered him.James clenched his fists.His desire and determination to become stronger intensified.James roared furiously
James wholeheartedly comprehended the Sword Path.His Sword Path Ousia had already gone through three Consolidations. Now that he had activated the Elemental Inversion Formation, he could quickly absorb the energy from the planet. Therefore, his Sword Path’s Power increased rapidly.Before he knew it, he had already reached the peak of the Divine Rank’s Third Stage and was very close to reaching the Quasi Emperor Rank.Once he took the final step, he could be considered a Quasi Emperor.Sword Energy surrounded James’ body, making him look like a legendary weapon with a terrifying aura.James’ aura kept increasing.What was the concept of a Quasi-Emperor?After one’s Ousia went through all three Consolidations, it would gradually separate and multiply. The Ousias generated from the separation would be of the same element. After nine Ousias of the same element were formed, one would officially become a Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor.Ultimately, the nine Ousias would merge and evol
James immediately sensed the three cultivators ahead of him.He stood atop the snow-capped mountain and looked at the three men floating in the air before him. James immediately raised his guard. He knew the three cultivators were after his life, so he would have to fight an intense battle soon.James sensed their cultivation rank. Fortunately, they were Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors, similar to his physical strength.A Fifth Heaven Grand Emperor was nothing extraordinary in the Primeval Age. However, they would be overpowering powerhouses in the age James came from.James’ portrait had been revealed to the public a long time ago.The three cultivators quickly confirmed he was their target after seeing his face.The three advanced in the air to James and appeared a thousand meters away from him.“Surrender to us, James, and we’ll leave you the chance to be reincarnated. Otherwise, we’ll destroy your soul, leaving you no chance to resurrect again.”James would have fled instan
James was being attacked from both his left and right. Moreover, there was another opponent directly ahead of him.His body was already injured by the Heavenly Path, and his injuries relapsed during the fight. The Heavenly Path’s Power spread throughout his body, causing him unbearable pain.James roared, “Get lost!!!”A purple light manifested, and the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword appeared ahead of him. James retracted his hands and flashed away to avoid the pincer attack of the two opponents. The next moment, he appeared close to the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and grabbed it instantly.James fled to a safe distance with the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and panted heavily as blood trickled down his forehead.“Damn it,” James cursed.He was already wounded and might die from the Heavenly Path’s Power before his enemy could even kill him.The three cultivators looked at the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword in James’ hand warily.As Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors, they knew about the Crepe Myrt
However, both of them were Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors and easily broke through James’ confinement and the seal around the area.The outcome of a battle between powerhouses could be determined in an instant.As soon as James’ confined the two opponents, he launched an attack.He unleashed the First Swordsmanship and killed another opponent.The remaining one had already begun to flee to the distance, but there was nowhere to run as James had cultivated the Space Path.James sensed the fluctuations in space and chased after him. He appeared before the last opponent instantly and blocked his path.The man was terrified by James’ hostility.He quickly begged for his life, saying, “I made a mistake, James. Please give me a chance.”James looked at him coldly and said, “You should’ve thought about the consequences before you decided to come for my life.”Hearing this, the man’s expression darkened.“You leave me no choice, James!”The man intended to go all out at James.He summ
James could not keep hiding.He wanted to fight back and kill the creatures that came for his life. Once he killed a bunch of them, no one would dare to approach him recklessly.For him to consecutively kill the opponents that showed up, he would have to improve his strength quickly.His Sword Path had already stepped into the Quasi Emperor Rank and multiplied into two Ousias.It would be much easier to continue improving his Sword Path. As long as he absorbed heaven and earth’s power, he could increase his Sword Path Ousia and multiply it again.Another multiplication meant another breakthrough in his cultivation rank.James took a deep breath, and he was greatly determined.He scanned the planet he landed on. It was another desolate planet that had been abandoned for many years. The power was harsh and not pure energy, making it unsuitable for living beings to absorb.However, James did not care.He unleashed his Divine Sense and sensed his surroundings to find the region
James laughed out loud, “Haha!”The Heavenly Tribulation arrived at the perfect time.The power of the Heavenly Tribulation was potent and was used as energy to enhance his strength.Although flashes of lightning kept striking him, James laughed through it.While rejoicing, his Sword Path Ousia separated again. James officially entered the Quasi Emperor Rank’s Second Tribulation. His cultivation rank was improving rapidly. It had not been long since he entered the Quasi Emperor Rank.After he successfully made it through the Heavenly Tribulation and made a breakthrough, the tribulation clouds began to disperse.However, James did not want them to disappear. He activated the Space Path’s power to trap the tribulation clouds in the sky, trying to prevent them from dissipating so he could use them as a continuous energy source.Although the Space Path was miraculous, it could not trap the tribulation clouds.James’ plan fell through, and the clouds disappeared.He dispersed the T
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
