James nodded and said, âAlright. Thank you, Sir.âThe Ancestral Talisman Master lightly waved his hand to end the topic. Then, he carried on with the main topic.âBefore you begin cultivating Curse Magic, Iâd like to know how much you know about Curse Magic.âJames shook his head lightly and said, âI actually donât know much. I obtained Curse Inscriptions by coincidence and came into contact with Curse Power. Eventually, I acquired a Jade Seal to suppress the Curse Power into Curse Inscriptions.âJames took out the Jade Seal he obtained from the Apocalypse Age.The Jade Seal was from Sangria. Potent Curse Power was contained in the Jade Seal, and several inscriptions were carved on it. The inscriptions were the fundamentals of Curse Inscriptions.Although James spoke of future events, he was very careful with his words and did not bring up major events. Thus, the Ancestral Talisman Master could understand his words.The Ancestral Talisman Master took the Jade Seal and examined i
The Ancestral Talisman Master briefly introduced the origin of Curse Magic.âCurse Magic is all-encompassing. After you cultivate Curse Magic, you can cultivate Curse Power. Within these Curse Inscriptions, youâll be able to find countless Supernatural Powers. However, youâll need a deep understanding of Curse Inscriptions to learn them.âWhat you need to do now is not to comprehend these supernatural powers but to comprehend the fundamentals of Curse Magic and the Curse Path to enhance your Curse Path Sealâs Power.James nodded lightly and said, âPlease advice me, Sir.âThe Ancestral Talisman Master said, âThe essence of Curse Magic is evil and terrifying. According to my teacher, Curse Magic originated from the Dark World and is a Secret Art used to control evil spirits.ââWhat is the essence of curses?ââCurses are basically spells.âIf you practice Curse Magic to the highest level, youâll be able to pass through time and space to kill your enemy. Even if youâre separated by
âThe essence of Curse is destruction and death.âThe Ancestral Talisman Masterâs voice kept resounding in Jamesâ mind. He taught James some of his comprehension and thoughts about Curse Magic. His voice slowly faded, and James cultivated in silence.In his mind, four inscriptions appeared.The four inscriptions floated before him and began to disintegrate into new characters. Hundreds of millions of new inscriptions appeared and revolved around his body.Every word contained supreme Curse Power.James began to comprehend them wholeheartedly.His Curse Path Sealâs Power also improved as his comprehension of Curse Inscriptions deepened.Curse Inscriptions were different from the Sword Pathâs Inscriptions.James could come to a sudden comprehension of the Sword Path. However, he had to slowly understand the Curse Inscriptions.These characters came from the depths of the Dark World and were passed on to the Eleventh World. Eventually, Curse Magic made its way to the Twelfth Uni
With the Ancestral Talisman Masterâs guidance, James thoroughly comprehended Curse Magic and understood the changes of the Curse Inscriptions.His Curse Path Seal had been raised to the peak of the Grand Emperor Rankâs Ninth Heaven.Countless Supernatural Powers could be learned from the Curse Inscriptions.Curse Inscriptions had to be arranged in combinations to evolve into Supernatural Powers.Previously, Sophie studied a few Curse Inscriptions and used them to form simple Supernatural PowersâConfinement and Cycle of Time.Curse Inscriptions were all-encompassing. Theoretically, they could be combined to form all sorts of Supernatural Powers that contained different Powers.Now that James had a deep comprehension of Curse Inscription, he could easily create terrifying Supernatural Powers.James could also assemble the Curse Inscriptions to form a terrifying Supernatural Power like Quinnâs Clone Art.That was how powerful Curse Magic was. However, one had to be fully proficien
James was troubled. He did not want anything to do with Melinda. From his perspective, it was inevitable that he would soon become an enemy of Mount Heavenly Path. Moreover, he already had Thea and refused to have any sort of romantic relationship with other women.After a brief thought, James said, âYou should head back to Mount Heavenly Path, Melinda.âJames did not want Melinda to continue following him.Puzzled, Melinda asked, âWhy? We already agreed in the beginning that Iâd come with you. Why are you suddenly sending me home?ââUhhâĶâ James was at a loss for words.He was not sure what to say to Melinda.âI canât possibly tell her that Iâm Mount Nothingnessâ Master and that my mission is to destroy Mount Heavenly Path and all the powerhouses of this age so that others can have a share of the universeâs luck, right?â thought James.Suddenly, James fell into a dilemma when he thought about having to kill the Primeval Ageâs powerhouses.When the time called for it, would he b
Mount Element was located in a prosperous area in the Human Realmâs Divine Dimension.Many powerful humans were gathered in the area, mostly disciples of Mount Elementâs Five Ancestral Masters.As the oldest powerhouses of the universe, the Five Ancestral Masters had disciples all over the universe. They were considered one of the strongest forces in the universe.The Elemental Cities were the most prosperous regions within the jurisdiction of Mount Element.There were five citiesâMetal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.James and Melinda arrived in Metal City.The entire city was built with rare metals. From a distance, it looked very extravagant and majestic. In the area, James could sense very powerful Metal Power.Melinda pointed at the city and said, âThatâs Metal City.ââAlthough the Five Ancestral Masters were born in the same generation, they are very independent. The Metal Cityâs Lord is the Ancestral Gold Master. Heâs also the leader of the Five Ancestral Masters. His sig
Thea said, âHadad wants to send you to the new universe.âJames nodded. âYeah, Iâve already been informed.âThea said solemnly, âAlthough the new universe has countless opportunities, itâs also a perilous place. I strongly suggest against going.âThea knew James had gone to the Rune Land with the Ancestral Talisman Master. She had been waiting for James to finish cultivating and specifically came to see him to persuade him not to go to the new universe.âOur Heavenly Path is the weakest, so even if youâre at the same cultivation rank as the other universesâ cultivators, you wonât stand a chance against them.âYou should stay in the Twelfth Universe. With your potential, youâll definitely become a Macrocosm Ancestral God.âJames did not expect Thea to be worried about his safety. He asked teasingly, âAre you worried about me?âTheaâs beautiful face flushed, and she felt slightly embarrassed. However, she quickly suppressed the feeling and glared at James, saying lightly, âI simpl
Thea agreed with James. However, he would have to reach the peak of the Quasi Ancestral Godâs Path Integration Rank. James still had a long way to go before he reached that rank, and he might not make it with the remaining time.She did not want James to take such a dangerous risk.Although she had never been to other universes, she knew how strong the powerhouses there were.She frowned slightly.James inched closer to her again, took her hand, and said, âHow about I promise not to go if I donât reach the Quasi Ancestral Rank?âThea broke away from James and put her hands behind her. She sighed and said, âSince youâve already made up your mind, so be it. Come to the Callahan Residence before you depart to the new universe.âThea knew she could not convince James to stay. Thus, she hoped that James would come to see her before leaving for the new universe.James nodded and said, âMhm. Before I leave, Iâll drop by the Callahan Residence.âThea did not say much in response and di
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
âNo wonder,â Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yinâs Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Pathâs 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 Jacopoâs identity as an incarnation of Waitara Pathâs 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.âYou fool, do you realize your mistake?âThe Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.âLord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.ââLord 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.âWe need to sort this out first,â the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. âWho's going to explain this later, you or me?âGladwin swallowed nervously. âOf course, it should be you.ââWhy should it be me?â the Yang Governor scoffed. âHaven'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?âGladwin's face twitched. âThis has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.âThe Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. âYou'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 menâĶ" "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 standâĶ""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 warriorsâjust three of themâappeared 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. âWynton, 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.ââAnd so what?â Wynton roared. âYouâre 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!âJames smiled. âKeep going.ââI know you donât want to owe me any favors.â Wynton glared at him angrily. âYou gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.âNow, Iâve given you your childrenâs past selves back, and you owe me once more. Youâre waiting for my terms, arenât you?âJames looked resigned.âWrong,â Wynton sneered. âI wonât 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!âJames sensed something was wrong and was shocked. âWynton!âWynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"ThatâsâĶ" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-Youâre 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.'Itâs 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 canât control it, so you canât either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And sheâs cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wifeâs half-self, finding Wuiaâs 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
