James' reading speed was very fast, and he could memorize the contents of the books at a glance.However, remembering and comprehending them were two different things.Soon, James finished all the books. He sat in a lotus position on the floor and focused on comprehending the information. He had to comprehend the Paths to grow stronger.All of his Ousias were close to going through another Consolidation.The only Ousia that could absorb more energy was his Sword Path.James absorbed the energy in the environment and continued comprehending the Sword Path.Gradually, he fell into a trance and entered a mysterious world.The world was separated into black and white, representing Yin and Yang.The mysteries of both Paths were presented before him.James’ comprehension of both Paths grew more profound. As his knowledge increased, the power of his Yin and Yang also improved significantly. It was evident he was going through another Consolidation.It was his Yin and Yang’s second C
James looked at the thirty cultivators around him solemnly.Some time ago, he struggled in a fight against three Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors. How was he going to fight thirty of them?James had comprehended the Five Great Paths and could use the Time or Space Path to escape.No one could stop him if he attempted to flee.However, James did not want to escape.Instead, he thought about how to kill thirty of these Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors.He was determined to kill them.Only by killing these pursuers would he scare off the others. No one would dare to come for his life in the future, and it would be easier for him to survive the ten thousand years.James refused to keep running from them.“It’s going to be hard to fight thirty Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors.” James frowned.“Die, James!”One of the opponents was impatient and launched an attack. He held a long sword and appeared before James in a flash. The man swung his sword at James, performing the First Swordsmanship.
James had several combat means.The Elemental Inversion and Infinity Steles were two of his ultimate trump cards.Initially, he had no plans of using them.However, he was now forced to use them in combat.James looked at the thirty Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors in the distance and said smilingly, “Since you’ve come for my life, you better be prepared to die. However, I have a question. Please do enlighten me.”One of the opponents replied, “Go ahead, James. You’re a rare prodigy, and it’s a pity to kill you like this. If you have any questions, we’ll satisfy your curiosity.”James asked, “How did you find me? The universe is so vast. I only arrived on this planet a hundred years ago. Yet, you guys caught up so easily.”A powerhouse answered, “Mount Heavenly Path revealed your location.”“Oh?” James was surprised.It was just as he speculated. A mysterious powerhouse within Mount Heavenly Path was divining and revealing his location to the public. Therefore, many of these powerh
These Grand Emperors could not resist the power and were crushed into nothingness. The Elemental Wheel’s terrifying force destroyed even their souls, leaving nothing behind.Those that survived immediately tried to flee.However, they could not escape James’ pursuit as he had cultivated the Space Path.The Elemental Wheel immediately disappeared into space and chased after the fleeing Grand Emperors.The thirty Grand Emperors were obliterated in a short moment.The Elemental Wheel returned to James and dispersed into Elemental Ousias again. Then, they submerged back into his body.“They overestimated themselves.” James smiled faintly.The Elemental Wheel was indeed a terrifying weapon. Although the Elemental Wheel was formed by his Elemental Ousaias, James still wiped out the Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors easily. If he used the Five Elements of Genesis to form the Elemental Wheel, he could effortlessly eliminate Seventh Heaven Grand Emperors.However, he would be struck by Ka
Killing thirty Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors was nothing extraordinary.Several Grand Priests and Priestesses from major sects had also killed dozens of cultivators at the same cultivation rank as themselves.Although James’ physical strength was at the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Heaven, his achievement was very impressive only because his cultivation rank was relatively low.James had already attracted the attention of many Grand Priests and Grand Priestesses.Many prodigies in seclusion for years also headed out to hunt for James.James’ name had caused a commotion throughout the universe.His accomplishments did not bring on his fame. Instead, he went viral because Mount Heavenly Path was targeting him.No one knew how James had offended Mount Heavenly Path.However, everyone knew that James would surely die after being targeted by Mount Heavenly Path, regardless of how outstanding he was.Since ancient times, no one dared to disobey Mount Heavenly Path.Rumors about James c
The energy was turbulent and violent and was not suitable to be absorbed by all living beings. However, this was nothing to James. As long as it was energy, he could absorb and refine it.Appearing at the center of this planet, he casually set up a Formation and frantically cultivated by absorbing the planet’s power to increase the power of his Ousia. At the same time, he comprehended the Path. Unknowingly, the Sword Path Ousia showed signs of a breakthrough. Reaching the pinnacle of power, the Sword Path Ousia was showing signs of division. As the new Ousia divided, the Heavenly Tribulation appeared.“Nice timing.”James was overjoyed. He had been waiting for the Heavenly Tribulation for it possessed unlimited energy.Lifting his head, he glanced at the Tribulation Clouds in the sky. Then, his mind stirred, and the Elemental Ousia soared to the sky and entered the clouds. James wanted to use the Elemental Ousia to absorb the Tribulation Clouds’ power by entrenching them within. Ho
James was intrigued by Karma Power. He believed that he could cultivate any sort of power. The Five Great Paths were considered power as well. However, not many truly cultivated them, and since there were no detailed cultivation methods in existence, he could only rely on himself to comprehend them. Since he could do so with the Five Great Paths, why not Karma?James sat in a lotus position on the ground, and the Five Elements of Genesis appeared above his head. The Five Elements of Genesis existed in this age, yet he had brought with him ones that came from the future. Hence, he had transgressed the laws of the universe and was now being devoured by Karma Power. Karma Power enveloped his entire body. Unable to withstand the Karma Power, cracks began appearing on his body, and he was soon covered in blood. With the provoking of the Karma Power, the injuries in his body from the Heavenly Path were aggravated.At that moment, James felt excruciating pain all over his body. Even his s
As Caelum Ancestral Gods, they had many tricks up their sleeves. Though no one was present when James fought against the group of Fifth Heaven Grand Emperors, many extremely powerful figures returned to the scene and used Time Reversal to replay the fight. Once the image of the fight was generated, the Five Ancestral Masters could easily replay the image with their strength.“Indeed.”“How terrifying… He possesses the Elemental Ousia…”“The cultivation method we created isn’t completed yet. The one he used should be different from ours.”“But what if he came from the future? What if he obtained the Five Elements of Genesis and the cultivation method we have yet to create at this moment in the future?”“Then everything will make sense. He should possess the Five Elements of Genesis. Our Five Elements of Genesis only reacted strangely after he summoned the ones he brought from the future.”They hypothesized.At the same time, James was being tortured by Karma Power. At the same ti
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
