Winnie arrived at this age tens of thousands of years ago. With her awakened Scythe of Judgment, she joined Mount Heavenly Path and became an Inner Disciple of the ruler of the universe. She was treated immensely well here, and Mount Heavenly Path ensured that she had a steady stream of cultivation resources. Hence, her rank increased rapidly. She had crossed from her initial Sage Rank into the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven. However, as she did not leave Mount Heavenly Path at all, she had no idea what was going on outside. She also had no idea when James arrived at this age. She only coincidentally learned of this when conversing with her fellow disciples of Mount Heavenly Path. In the beginning, she was unsure whether James was her father. However, upon hearing of the Infinity Steles and the Five Elements of Genesis, she was now completely sure.“What has Dad done? Why is Herschel pursuing him?”Winnie was confused.After some contemplation, she stood up and left her accommo
Herschel shook his head and said, “No way. There can only be one Macrocosm Ancestral God in the universe.”Hearing this, Winnie fell silent.She stood up and turned to leave.Upon returning to her room, her expression turned grim. She had learned of Mount Heavenly Path’s decision. They were determined to kill James. She knew that Mount Heavenly Path was full of powerful figures, not to mention they had a Macrocosm Ancestral God. How was James supposed to live?She wanted to save him. However, she was only a disciple of Mount Heavenly Path. Even though she was an Inner Disciple, she had no say in this matter. How was she supposed to stop Herschel and the Macrocosm Ancestral God from killing James?“What should I do, Dad?”Winnie sighed.Just as she was helpless, a voice came, “A penny for your thoughts, Winnie?”Winnie collected herself and turned around to see a beautiful woman walking toward her. The woman was wearing a pink dress. Her figure was flawless and curvaceous, her a
How could Winnie possibly confess her relationship with James at such a critical moment? Mount Heavenly Path was determined to annihilate James, her father. If they knew that they were father and daughter, they would not let her off the hook easily.“Is that so?” Full of disbelief, Melinda said, “Don’t lie to me, Winnie. Feel free to speak your mind. I will keep your secret. Do you not trust me?”Winnie shook her head slightly and remained silent.Seeing this, Melinda did not inquire further. She conversed with Winnie about other matters—James and the events that occurred when she met him in the Katun Realm.“By the way…” Upon being reminded of something, she asked, “What’s the relationship between James and the Callahans, in your opinion? Why would Thea Callahan intervene to protect him? Even the seventh daughter of the Callahans would offend Mount Heavenly Path to protect him.”Winnie shook her head slightly and signaled her ignorance.She was not in the mood. Pensive, she cont
“Why was I contaminated by Karma?”James fell into deep thought.Theoretically, even if two similar objects existed in the same world, such a terrifying Karma Power was beyond his expectations. Karma only existed because of a cause.James inspected the Karma Power enveloping him, seeking to understand the truth.Upon inspection, he entered a trance.Much time seemed to have passed. Yet, it felt as if only a moment had passed. Then, James suddenly understood Karma. The image of him obtaining the Five Elements of Genesis and cultivating the Elemental Holy Body surfaced in his mind.“I see…”Realization dawned on his face.This was Karma. Karma was produced when he obtained the Five Elements of Genesis and developed a link with the Five Ancestral Masters, who were the previous owners of the Five Elements of Genesis. His Karma was not brought about by the Five Elements of Genesis but by the Five Ancestral Masters. Meanwhile, the Karma brought about by the Five Ancestral Masters h
James discovered the source of the Karma Power, which came from heaven and earth and was omnipresent. However, even though he had gotten to the bottom of it, he was still clueless about absorbing and refining Karma Power and transforming it into his power.His mind stirred, and the time in this region returned to normal. Then, he stored the Five Elements of Genesis away. He knew that he would not be able to cultivate Karma in a short period of time. He needed a long time to comprehend and gain insight into Karma. He firmly believed that he would comprehend the cultivation method of absorbing Karma one day.Upon storing away the Five Elements of Genesis, he took a deep breath.Though he overcame the ordeal, the Heavenly Path’s injuries were still there, and there was still immense Karma Power inside his body. Long ago, he had heard of Karma’s existence from Sophie, who deeply feared Karma. She once said that the providences James obtained would also be his Karma. She also said that h
As he walked, he accomplished a Consolidation. Then another one. The Second Consolidation of the Five Great Paths was not obstructed at all. At that moment, his Five Great Path’s power increased exponentially.“How magical…”James sat on the peak of a mountain and sensed the increase of the Five Great Paths. Sensing the mysterious power that emanated from the Five Great Paths, he could not help but exclaim. Now, he finally understood why some living beings were able to grow stronger this quickly. These people were called prodigies.The comprehension ability of prodigies was terrifying and many times that of ordinary people. They could easily comprehend anything and save precious time cultivating.James never believed himself to be a prodigy. However, upon the Second Consolidation of the Five Great Paths, he was starting to believe he was one. After all, not anyone can comprehend the Five Great Paths and accomplish Consolidation at the same time. James also knew that he was fortunat
Tracking James’ current whereabouts would be troublesome. Regardless, as a Terra Ancestral God, Herschel should be able to track James, considering that he had planted a sigil inside James’ body beforehand.At that moment, a man walked in. He was about thirty years old, wearing a black robe and carrying a blade on his back. His eyebrows were bushy, his face was round, and he exuded a crude and violent aura.“Young Master.”The man knelt on one knee and greeted him respectfully.“Rise.”Herschel looked at the man and waved slightly.The man stood up and awaited Herschel’s instructions.“Honorius Gunner, you’re at the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Heaven. What’s your ranking?” Herschel asked.Honorius answered truthfully, “As a Fifth Heaven Grand Emperor, I’m number three within my rank. However, this is an evaluation of the public. There are countless geniuses in this universe. Many of them would remain stagnant at a certain rank and become invincible within it. In fact, I know a f
Though his physical strength had increased, there was still Karma inside his body. Unable to suppress the Karma, the Karma continued to destroy his body. Combined with the Heavenly Path’s injuries, his condition worsened.“So many of them…”Seeing the number of pursuers, his expression turned grim.He wanted to escape. However, he sensed that the space of this planet had been sealed. With his current strength, he was able to break through the seal.“Looks like there’ll be a fierce battle today.”James took a deep breath.Since his enemies had shown themselves, he had no choice but to fight. Even if he died, he would have to drag a few of his enemies down with him.Though he was injured and not in peak form, he would not go easy against his foes. Clenching his fists, veins bulged on his face.In the distance, a group of powerful figures walked toward him in mid-air. There were tens of thousands of them. Meanwhile, cracks continued to appear in the void as more and more living be
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
