James and Melinda had arrived at the Dragon Realm. The moment they stepped foot on the land of the Dragon Realm, James could sense an overwhelming aura of the Dragon Race. A bone inside his body became unusually active and materialized into a mysterious power.James unconsciously rested his hands on his chest.“What’s wrong?”Melinda was puzzled.James said, “A dragon bone merged with my body by chance in the past. Now that I’m in the Dragon Realm, the dragon bone is beginning to show unusual reactions.”James obtained the dragon bone in the Apocalypse Age. However, this was the Dragon Realm, and he was a distance away from the Human Realm. At that moment, the dragon bone seemed to have returned to its homeland. So, James suspected that the dragon bone originated here. But why was it in the Human Realm in the future?“Are you alright?” Melinda was concerned.James shook his head slightly and said, “I’m alright. Let’s go.”James catalyzed his strength and suppressed the dragon b
“A human?”James looked at the man and said, “I’m James Caden from Mount Heavenly Path. I would like to have an audience with Laurentinus Llewelyn.”James stated the purpose of his visit. He knew that the Dragon Race had hated the Human Race ever since the Dragon’s Race primogenitor lost against the Lord of Nothingness. All this while, few humans would come to the Dragon Realm, and they would seldom gain anything out of the visit. However, James came nonetheless. That was because he wanted to learn about the Omniscience Path. As Laurentinus Llewelyn was the strongest figure, he had to learn from him.The golden-robed man scrutinized James from head to toe. Sensing that he was only a Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor, he said smilingly, “Of course you may. However, surely you know what a human must do before being granted an audience?”“Mhm.” James nodded and said, “There is bad blood between the humans and the Dragon Race. During the prehistoric era, the Lord of Nothingness fought again
The Sect Elders fell into deep thought. After some contemplation, one of them said, “Wait here while we ruminate things over.”They turned to leave.James, meanwhile, remained outside Dragon Island.In the main hall of a palace on Dragon Island…A middle-aged man was sitting on the throne. He was about forty years of age and wore a golden robe. Below him were the Sect Elders.“Patriarch, James has the Ancestral Dragon’s aura inside his body. This is rather uncanny. We should let him stay on Dragon Island while we investigate the matter.”“This is inappropriate. James is from Mount Heavenly Path. For countless years, Mount Heavenly Path has long wished to occupy Dragon Island and conquer us. I don’t think James came in peace.”“But what should we do about the dragon bone?”The Sect Elders argued. Some agreed for James to stay, whereas others disagreed. The Patriarch sat on the throne and contemplated. After some time, he said, “No matter what James’ objective is, we should let
James did not resist and simply allowed the lightning to strike him.Boom!As powerful Lightning Power struck him, the surrounding space exploded. Cracks began to appear in the void and spread like spiderwebs. A deep hole appeared beneath James. James, however, was unscathed. Upon using all his power, his strength was now equivalent to an Ancestral God. The lightning tribulations meant for Ancestral Gods could not harm him at all.“What?”The powerful figures of the Dragon Race were stunned.“How is he so strong?”“He’s only at the Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor Rank. How did he manage to resist the power of the lightning tribulation?”“He has grown many times stronger as compared to his battle against the number-one ranked on the Martial Ranking.”They were shocked.Boom!The second lightning tribulation descended. Then, the third and the fourth…Lightning tribulations descended from the sky and struck James, who used the power of all his Paths to resist them. His physical body
The Jalong Sea was a mysterious sea in the Dragon Realm. There was a powerful magnetic field there that prevented ordinary Ancestral Gods from crossing the Jalong Sea. Those who could accomplish such a feat had cultivated at least two Paths. As proud creatures, the Dragon Race would not be welcoming toward ordinary Ancestral Gods, who would not be allowed to land on Dragon Island.James appeared on the outer perimeters of the Jalong Sea. Before him was a sea enveloped in a white mist. James could sense the presence of a powerful Formation in the depths of the sea, and all power of the Jalong Sea came from there.A Sect Elder pointed straight ahead and said, “This is the Jalong Sea, James. Even though you have overcome two challenges, I have to remind you that the Jalong Sea is no ordinary sea. No ordinary Ancestral Gods can cross the sea. Otherwise, his physical body will be obliterated.”“Since I’m already here, I might as well try.” James said, “If I fail, I will give up. I won’t
The arrival of Mount Heavenly Path’s princess here must surely not be a coincidence. Perhaps they came here for Dragon Island or the Chaotic Treasure on the island. Even though Hadad was the ruler of the universe, there was a race that was free from his administration. That was the Dragon Race. As the Dragon Race had a long history, not to mention that they possessed an incredible treasure that belonged to the Ancestral Dragon, Hadad did not dare act recklessly. Otherwise, disciples of Mount Heavenly Path would have occupied Dragon Island long ago.Though he was filled with consternation inside, he forced a smile, “James, you came here just to meet Laurentinus Llawelyn?”“Mhm.” James nodded and said, “Laurentinus has cultivated the Omniscience Path. Hence, I’m here to seek his advice.”The Patriarch said, “Laurentinus is an elderly member of the Dragon Race who is always in closed-door meditation. I’m afraid he won’t be meeting you anytime soon. How about you stay here on Dragon Isl
Laurentinus was absolutely domineering. An illusory head appeared in the sky and glanced downward. His voice was so deafening that even the earth shook.James collected himself and clasped his fist, saying, “I’m James Caden. I heard that you have cultivated the Omniscience Path. Hence, I’m here to seek your advice.”He explained himself.“Get lost!”Laurentinus cursed. At the same time, a shapeless power came from his illusory mouth and swept through the air, striking James in the process. James was immediately sent flying by the great force, and he only managed to land steadily after rolling a few turns on the sand.James never thought Laurentinus would be such a troublesome person to deal with. Even though he had proclaimed himself to be from Mount Heavenly Path, Laurentinus did not even bat an eyelid before sending him flying.James looked at the illusory head and said, “Sir, I humbly seek your guidance.”“I have no plans of admitting disciples. Seeing that you’re from Mount
Boom!Their palms collided, and two powerful forces interacted with each other. Laurentinus staggered backward a little. Steading himself, he said with a smile, “Not bad, young lad! Again!”“Grand Patriarch.”The Patriarch hurriedly said, “If we continue the fight, Dragon Island will be destroyed.”“Oh, yeah.”Laurentinuc stopped in time. Dispersing his aura, he looked at James and said, “We will fight in the arena.”Then, he soared to the sky and flew into the distance.James knew that he would not be able to discuss the Path with Laurentinus without a fight. So, he followed Laurentinus.Laurentinus landed on an arena on Dragon Island. The arena was even bigger than an island, and there were powerful Boundary Formations in the surroundings. This Formation Boundary was set up by many powerful figures of the Dragon Race and could only be destroyed by Caelum Ancestral Gods.Laurentinus looked at James who descended from the sky and said smilingly, “I will keep my word, so I’ll o
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
