James walked out of the chamber with the book. He walked over to Quaiel and asked, “Can I take this book with me?”Quaiel nodded and said, “Your Holiness, you’re the master of Mount Nothingness. Everything in Mount Nothingness belongs to you. Everything in Mount Nothingness is left for you by the Holy Master of Nothingness.”James felt relieved by his words.He put away the book and said gratefully, “Thank your, Sir.”Quaiel waved his hand lightly and said, “Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to find in the future.”After speaking, Quaiel disappeared from sight.James left happily with the book in hand.After leaving the library chambers, James walked to an independent courtyard behind the Palace of Nothingness. The courtyard was the former residence of the Holy Master of Nothingness. Moreover, it was also his seclusion sanctuary.Now that James had become the master of Mount Nothingness, the courtyard naturally belonged to him.James took out the book in the courtyard
A thousand years had passed outside while James spent more than three hundred thousand years within the Time Formation.During these three hundred thousand years, James wholeheartedly studied Karma Scripts and the Karma Path.After growing more literate in Karma Scripts, he began to grasp the content of “The Answers”. Gradually, he comprehended the cultivation method recorded in the book and could cultivate Karma Power.Soon, he cultivated a Karma Ousia, and his Karma Path reached the Quasi Emperor Rank’s Ninth Tribulation.It was close to reaching the Grand Emperor Rank.James did not stop cultivating and used the opportunity to merge his Karma Ousias.The Karma Ousias that divided began to merge, and mysterious power formed in James’ body.James’ whole body was surrounded by Karma Power.The book floated before him, and the pages flipped rapidly. Mysterious words emerged from the book and revolved around James’ body. The words constantly changed into different variations.Th
No accidents occurred during the fusion.Soon, the fusion was complete. His Elemental Path Seals’ Power improved significantly after fusing with the Five Elements of Genesis.James suddenly had a new realization, and his comprehension of the Elemental Path grew stronger. His Elemental Path had also reached the Grand Emperor Rank’s Second Heaven.His body was full of mysterious power, and bright glares emerged. He slowly restrained his energy and stood up from the ground.Light rays shot out from his pupils. Then, his pupils gradually became darker.His eyes were like a vast and bottomless abyss.James dispersed the Time Formation and stepped out of the courtyard. He looked at the tall buildings ahead of him.“I’ve successfully learned the Karma Path and cultivated One for All. Moreover, my strength skyrocketed after I fused the Five Elements of Genesis into my Elemental Paths. No matter how many powerhouses from Mount Heavenly Path come after me, I’ll be able to kill them all.
Wystan wanted to accompany James because he knew of the horrors of the Dark World.James’ cultivation rank was very low, and he was worried about James going to the Dark World alone.Xosha suddenly recalled something and asked, “By the way, many outsiders have been entering Mount Nothingess recently. Why is that so? For the past ten thousand years, it’s been rare for us to see even a single visitor. Yet, so many people are now suddenly venturing into Mount Nothingness.”James replied, “They’re probably here to kill me.”Startled, Karter asked, “They’re trying to kill you? Why?”James replied, “On the surface, it’s because of a woman.”“...”The three were dumbfounded by his answer.James parted his lips again and explained, “Everything started when I got involved with Bria of the Callahans.”He explained the ins and outs of the situation.“Hersel from Mount Heavenly Path is after my life because of this. However, I think there’s more to it. As for the exact reason, I’m not to
Meanwhile, the three people before him were some of the most renowned figures in the universe many Epochs ago. As core members of Mount Nothingness, they had long reached the peak of the Caelum Ancestral God Rank and were only a step away from reaching the Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank. Hence, they could clearly sense the power of the universe’s embryonic form. Upon seeing the Five Great Paths, they immediately understood.“I understand now.”Karter took a deep breath.James stored the Five Great Paths’ Path Seal away and asked, “Do you know why Mount Heavenly Path is pursuing me?”Karter asked, “Your Holiness, do you know why there can only be one Macrocosm Ancestral God despite the number of Caelum Ancestral Gods we have in this universe?”James fell into deep thought and said, “Because a single person has occupied all the providence of the world, making it impossible for others to cross into the Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank. Unless the Macrocosm Ancestral God dies and the provid
Though Xosha was the Grand Priestess of Mount Nothingness, she was well-known as the Annihilation God in the outside world. Under her fair and delicate skin lay a ruthless and cold-blooded woman.James waved slightly and said, “Pay no heed to them for now. Let them be imprisoned in Mount Nothingness for the time being. Once I return from the Dark World, I’ll deal with them accordingly.”Wystan said, “In that case, let’s get going.”“Mhm.” James nodded.Then, they left Mount Nothingness and arrived at a mysterious place at the back of the mountain. The place was connected to the Dark World. As a passageway forcibly created by extremely powerful figures of the Dark World, it was where many enemies of the Dark World came through to wreak havoc on this world.Not too far ahead, everything was surrounded by a black mist. It was the miasma of the Dark World, which contained terrifying Dark Power. Upon their arrival, Wystan was reminded of how the extremely powerful figures of the Dark W
James followed close behind, with Xosha and Karter following after him. With these three by his side, James had nothing to be afraid of. Unless the powerful figures of the Dark World appeared, no evil spirit could harm him.Soon, they entered the Dark World.“Dark Matter truly is mysterious.”Karter’s voice came, “Dark Power exuded by Dark Matter corrodes the physical body. Even a Caelum Ancestral God won’t be able to last long in the Dark World. Besides, the deeper we venture into the Dark World, the greater the corrosion.”“Indeed,” Wystan chimed in. “The Corrosion in the most profound depths of the Dark World is beyond terrifying. Even a Caelum Ancestral God’s physical body would be obliterated in the blink of an eye.”Xosha said, “The Lord of Nothingness once said that only Dark Matter can reshape one’s physical body to survive in the depths of the Dark World.”The three conversed while pushing forward.James simply remained silent and listened to their conversation. The m
The greater James’ potential, the more delighted they were. He was their master, after all. In the future, he would lead them into battle against the Dark World and deal with the Dark Strife that would appear every once in a while.James began cultivating in the Time Formation, whereas the three stood guard outside. The Dark Power in the Dark World was terrifying. It greatly accelerated James’ cultivation speed. James soon cultivated the Dark Ousia, which was the most difficult part. While he cultivated, the other three watched their surroundings vigilantly.Boom!At the same time, they sensed a chain of explosions coming from the depths of the Dark World. The ripples created by the explosion were so frightening that they could sense it even from the outer perimeters.They looked at one another.Wystan said with a grim expression on his face, “What a terrifying battle ripple… There must be a fierce battle going on in the depths of the Dark World.”“Mhm.”Xosha nodded and said,
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
