The girl said, “The other condition is about one’s mentality. If one has an invincible Cultivation Heart, one can enter the Palace of Nothingness. Otherwise, even if a Caelum Ancestral God personally came, he wouldn’t be able to enter it.”As she spoke, she looked at James and continued, “You have passed this checkpoint. Go in.”“Here’s a reminder. During your journey to the Palace of Nothingness, there’ll be many forked roads, and each road of your choice will bring you to different challenges.“If you’re lucky and chose the shortest path, you’ll only need to complete three challenges to reach the Palace of Nothingness.“If you’re unlucky, you’ll face tough challenges continuously.”Then, she waved her hands and a surge of power emerged. The power supported James and the others.At once, James and the others disappeared from the black palace.Soon, they found themselves in a mountain range.The mountain range was endless with black mist everywhere. None of them could use their
Currently, James had already comprehended each Ousia thrice.All he needed to do was simple, and that was to continuously absorb the energy of heaven and earth to increase his cultivation rank.During the process, James could not have any interference. Once the energy of heaven and earth was sufficient, he could have a breakthrough.He could reach the Grand Emperor Rank. Only after entering the Grand Emperor Rank did he need to begin comprehending the Path.When he reached the Grand Emperor Rank, increasing his rank no longer had anything to do with time. It only depended on his comprehension ability.In the time formation, James focused on his cultivation, while the three outside the time formation were shocked by what James summoned.The two brothers of the Stuarts were taken aback by the Five Elements of Genesis.On the other hand, Mia fell into deep thought looking at the Black Lotus.The three waited outside for 50 years.Throughout those 50 years, James had been cultivat
Thea knew that Mount Nothingness was a place where even a Caelum Ancestral God dared not enter.“Why is he so reckless? Mount Nothingness is full of danger. If he doesn’t pay attention, he’ll die. Why would he go there?”Sienna shook her head slightly and responded, “I don’t know. Mount Heavenly Path also said they will double the previous reward for whoever kills James.”Hearing that made Thea’s face darken as she asked, “Who went out of Mount Heavenly Path?”Sienna answered, “The top ten Outsiders of the Grand Emperor Rank's Sixth and Seventh Heaven from the last Grand Tournament of the Universe have all gone down the mountain. They’re heading toward the Divine Realm of Nothingness right now. Once they enter Mount Nothingness and find James, it’ll be hard for him to escape.”“All of them?”Thea was shocked.“Yeah.” Pleading, Sienna said, “Bria, you need to think of a way. These people aren’t on par with Honorius, they’re more terrifying than him. If they find James, James won’
James carried out his cultivation in the time formation.It had already been 50 years in the outside world, but he had already cultivated for more than 10,000 years in the time formation.The Demonic Energy in Mount Nothingness was too thick. Even if he used 10,000 years to absorb the Demonic Energy, he would only manage to absorb a little. The Demonic Energy of heaven and earth would still be a lot.After more than 10,000 years of hard work, his cultivation rank increased.His main Path was the Sword Path.Now, James’ Sword Path had already entered the Quasi Emperor Rank’s Ninth Tribulation. He only needed to carry out the fusion to form the sigil. Then, he would be a Grand Emperor powerhouse.The powers of other Ousias were improved synchronously. They had all entered the Quasi Emperor Rank’s Third Tribulation.At the same time, the power of his physical body had also improved during this period.As the power in Mount Nothingness was Demonic Energy, the same as his body, afte
Standing to the side, Mia could not help asking. “Do you have anything to do with Mount Nothingness?”James looked at her and responded. “Why would you ask that? What makes you think I have anything to do with Mount Nothingness?”Mia replied truthfully. “I’m asking because of the black-colored lotus you summoned.”Stunned, James asked, “What’s wrong with it?”“Are the black-colored lotus’ energy and the Demonic Energy in Mount Nothingness from the same source?” Mia continued to ask without answering his questions.James nodded. “Yeah.”Slowly finding the words, Mia said, “In my family’s ancient books, there are records from the age when the Holy Master of Nothingness ruled the universe. It’s said that his evil thoughts manifested into a living creature while he was cultivating one day. The creature’s true form was mentioned specifically to be a black-colored lotus.“There are also rumors that Mount Nothingness’ destruction was related to the very same black-colored lotus.”As s
James concentrated on fusing his Sword Path Ousias.His Sword Path Ousias looked like miniature swords.Every time he broke through a rank, a tiny sword materialized. By the time he reached the Quasi Emperor Rank’s Ninth Tribulation, he had ten mini swords.The swords merged, and their power combined to form a great force. The power increased tremendously and became more complex.After the fusion of his Sword Path Ousias, Heaven’s Law emerged and spread across the sky.The Heaven’s Law spread across the sky as disorganized and mysterious looking lines.Then, the Laws gathered together and formed a tribulation cloud.The three people waiting outside the formation unwittingly stood up upon seeing the tribulation clouds.“It’s a Grand Emperor Tribulation. Mr. Caden is about to go through his Grand Emperor Tribulation now.”“I’m surprised that his cultivation rank is so low. Yet, he has mastered the Space Path. Who exactly is he?”The three looked at the tribulation clouds and
The lightning struck James’ body continuously but did not cause any harm to him.James’ Sword Path Ousias were still in the process of merging into a Path Seal.His Sword Path Ousias converted into a mysterious force and fused above his head to form a circle of light.The light circle absorbed power from the outside world and compressed it.The process lasted for about three months.Finally, James’ Sword Path Ousias completely fused to form a bizarre seal.The fist-sized seal was white and shaped like a rhombus. It was crystal clear, and magical Sword Energy could be seen flowing within it.His Sword Path Seal had successfully formed.James finally became a Grand Emperor—the rank he had long strived for.At that moment, the tribulation clouds dispersed, and the Heavenly Tribulation was completed.James’ Elemental Inversion Formation had absorbed a significant amount of power from the Heavenly Tribulation, and the ranks of his other Ousias also improved. All of his Ousias had
James sensed a strong aura approaching him rapidly.The other three people also sensed the aura and looked into the distance.Swoosh!A figure flew through the air and appeared before them the very next moment.The blurry silhouette gradually became a solid figure.It was a stunning woman that looked about 20 years old. She wore a white dress and had long, silver-white hair.She floated in mid-air, looked at James, and laughed. “You’re great at hiding, James. I didn’t expect you to be in Mount Nothingness.Mia sensed the woman’s malicious intentions and immediately stepped forward and released her Quasi Ancestral God’s aura. She stared at the woman before them and asked coldly, “Are you trying to start something right here?”The woman looked at Mia and said lightly, “It’s best to stay out of Mount Heavenly Path’s affairs. Regardless of your background, you won’t be able to escape the consequences if Mount Heavenly Path holds you accountable.”Mia was terrified upon hearing her
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
