The Guqin opened the Dead City’s gate.Apart from Yukia’s message, James did not obtain anything from the Dead City.Her words were profound, and James could not figure out the meaning behind them yet.After he took out the Guqin, a magical power emerged, and the Dead City vanished, dispersing into the air as black Demonic Energy.James glanced around and found that he stood in the plains.The plains were full of various poisonous grasses.If he had not seen it himself, James would not believe an ancient city had been right at this spot.Initially, he set out on his journey with three companions. However, he was the only one left now.James felt sad about the loss.Although he did not know them for long and had little attachment to them, he was sad to have to spend the rest of the journey alone.He picked out a direction and continued walking toward the depths of Mount Nothingness.“Mr. Caden!”Suddenly, James heard a voice calling out to him.He turned around and saw thre
“We’re in Mount Nothingness. Anything is possible here.”Walking ahead of them, James’ brows furrowed as he listened to their conversation.After walking for a long time, the black fog dissipated, and a beautiful landscape greeted them.“There’s no Demonic Energy here!” Mia exclaimed excitedly. Hadrian also exclaimed, “I can sense abundant Primordial Energy!”Herbert took a deep breath and said, “As expected from Mount Nothingness. The energy here is plentiful and contains many complete Paths alongside the Law of Heaven. It’s no wonder that this was the best place to cultivate in the past.”James said, “Let’s go have a look.”He continued to walk toward the mountain ahead.The group entered the mountain range and appeared at the base of a majestic mountain.A winding staircase lay in front of them, leading up to the mountain's peak.James began ascending the staircase. The other three followed behind him.Soon, they were halfway up the mountain.Suddenly, a faint glow appe
James was a reasonable man. If Mia could not beat Feivel, how would he stand a chance?The Stuart brothers were unwilling to give up after coming all the way.“Let me have a go.”Hadrian stepped forward, summoned all his strength, and attacked Feivel. However, he suffered a quick defeat.Herbert was not discouraged and also challenged Feivel.Unfortunately, the outcome was the same.“He’s too strong.”Herbert sighed and said, “I can tell that he isn’t using much strength, yet he easily defeated me.”Feivel looked at James and smiled. “Don’t you want to give it a try, Young Man?”James replied embarrassedly. “Even three Quasi Ancestral Gods couldn’t defeat you. How am I qualified to challenge you?”Feivel lightly regarded him. “With your current strength, you won’t be able to defeat me even after you train hard for several Epochs. However, I match the strength of my challengers.“Your three friends are at the Quasi Ancestral God’s Theosophical Rank. Therefore, I matched the
James felt a terrifying power enter his palm and spread throughout his body.His Blood Energy churned and roiled violently.The force tore at his body, causing cracks to form all over his skin. At the same time, his body was blasted away. His body flew off the mountain, and he slammed into the ground.James got back to his feet with some difficulty and urged the power of his Life Path. His injuries were healed instantly.Then, he appeared before Feivel the next moment.Feivel looked at James with his hands behind him. He was satisfied to see that James had already completely recovered from his injuries. He praised James, “You’re impressive, Young Man. I know you’ve got more potential. Fight me with all your strength. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get past me.”James gritted his teeth.He was not expecting Feivel to still so strong despite limiting his strength to a Seventh Heaven Grand Emperor.James’ physical body was in the Grand Emperor’s Seventh Heaven. An ordinary Eigh
Feivel did not expect James’ attack to be that strong and took several steps backward after they traded blows.James was also knocked away by Feivel’s strength.James used all his resources to increase his strength. As he was, he could take on even a Quasi Ancestral God at the Theosophical Rank. However, he was struggling against Feivel.James clenched his jaw and asked. “Sir, may I use a weapon?” Feivel said, “Certainly. You can use everything at your disposal to defeat me.”James felt relieved after hearing his reply. He immediately summoned the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.With the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword in his hand, his aura rose once more.Holding the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword, James rushed at Feivel. He swung his sword, and countless Sword Energies emerged, surrounding Feivel from every direction.Feivel smiled lightly. He raised his hand, and mysterious inscriptions emerged from his palm. The inscriptions dispersed the Sword Energies in the sky.“What?!” James looke
“I’m not giving up just yet.”James put away the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and summoned the Five Elements of Genesis. Powerful Elemental Power emerged and fused to form an Elemental Wheel.“Huh?” Karter’s expression changed.“The Five Elements of Genesis? That’s impossible.”He was in disbelief.The Five Elements of Genesis were the treasures of the Five Ancestral Masters.The Five Ancestral Masters existed way before his time. When he was born, they were already Caelum Ancestral Gods.Karter’s expression tightened after he saw James summon the Five Elements of Genesis and merge them into a strange power.At that moment, the Elemental Wheel sped at him with great force.The Elemental Wheel swept across the sky and caused the space it flew through to distort. Mount Nothingness began to disintegrate under its influence.Boom!The Elemental Wheel came crashing at him.Karter stood in place, raised his hand, and an unspeakable force emerged from his palm to resist the Elemental
James came to Mount Nothingness to raise his cultivation rank and fend off his pursuers.His cultivation rank was very low when the bounty on him was placed. This was why he struggled to fight those that came after him.He eventually improved his cultivation rank and even chased off a Sixth Heaven Grand Emperor like Zenaida.Moreover, his physical strength had improved as well. If news of this reached Mount Heavenly Path, they would definitely send stronger cultivators after him.When that happens, he would have to face Quasi Ancestral Gods.He was helpless against them at his current level.Thus, he had to improve his cultivation rank as much as possible.His next goal was to raise all his Paths to the Grand Emperor Rank.Karter nodded in satisfaction and said, “I’m curious to see if anyone in the same cultivation rank can beat you after you raise your cultivation rank to the Grand Emperor Rank’s Seventh Heaven.”It was possible James would completely overpower those in the s
“Alright.”Karter nodded, then lunged forward.He practiced pure martial arts and did not use any Path Power. Immense energy powered his every move.James countered his attack with his own fists.His current strength was comparable to the middle stage of an Illuminated Quasi Ancestral God.Although he could also reach the same rank before this, the disparity between the early and middle stages was vast.Karter restricted his cultivation rank to the peak of the Grand Emperor Rank’s Seventh Heaven. However, he could unleash the strength of a middle-stage Illuminated Quasi Ancestral God.James’ current strength was on par with his.The two fought with each other around Mount Nothingness.James did not use the Five Elements of Genesis nor did he bring out the Infinity Steles. Despite this, he was standing his ground against Karter.They fought for a very long time.However, James still failed to gain the upper hand.He resorted to summoning the Five Elements of Genesis.Karter
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
