Initially, James aimed to avoid fighting as it would expose his strength and boons to countless powerhouses in the new universe. He wanted to keep a low profile before he could figure out the strength of the other universe’s prodigies.However, Pierre attempted to snatch his treasures and tried to kill him. Therefore, James disposed of Pierre ruthlessly.Ultimately, Stanley also got involved in their conflict.Stanley was a mighty opponent. A simple and offhanded attack required James to use all his strength to deflect it. Despite that, the aftershock still caused his Blood Energy to churn and result in him vomiting blood.James stared at Stanley and secretly mustered his energy. He planned to take Stanley by surprise and kill him with a single blow if the other party decided to move against him.James was confident he could take Stanley down with his Chaotic Treasures.Stanley’s face was stony. The fact that he had been knocked away by James was humiliating enough. If he insiste
“I can sense the Power of Yin and Yang from him.”“I entered the Dark World before and fought a few evil spirits there. Like those evil spirits, he seems to have the Power of the Dark Path.”“Why do I sense Elemental Power from him?”Many powerhouses discussed James’ puzzling aura.After expressing their opinions, everyone was shocked at their findings.“That’s impossible. How can he have mastered so many Paths? There must be something wrong. That kid might have cast some kind of Supernatural Power or Secret Art that is misleading our senses.”“I agree. Every universe’s Heavenly Path only allows one to cultivate nine Paths. Even the First Universe that preceded the others has never had anyone able surpass the limit. No one can cultivate ten Paths.”The prodigies continued to debate among themselves.“Interesting.”“This kid isn’t someone to be trifled with. Stanley might even lose to him.”“I highly doubt it. Stanley has practiced nine Paths and even mastered the Time Path. B
Stanley floated in the air as an energy ball gradually formed in front of him.The energy ball was created by the fusion of his nine Path Powers. It was like a massive sun hovering in the sky and exuded a frightening aura.A powerful magnetic field formed around the energy ball which caused the surrounding space to become unstable. The nearby Paths grew increasingly unstable.There was nowhere for James to escape, so he had no choice but to try and defend against Stanley’s attack. James raised his hand and fused his 16 Path Powers to form a huge energy ball of his own as well.The energy ball rushed forward to intercept Stanley’s attack.Boom!The two energy balls exploded against each other in mid-air.Everything in the area seemed to freeze in place as soon as the two forces collided. The two forces began to fuse, trying to devour and overpower the other. The whole situation lasted for several seconds.Shortly after, James’ energy ball began to fall apart.Stanley’s energy b
In the distant mountaintops, everyone began to discuss what they had just witnessed.“Those were Elemental Path Seals of Genesis! He’s definitely a force to be reckoned with. He fused the Five Elements of Genesis with his Elemental Path Seals to form Elemental Path Seals of Genesis. The five elements work in tandem with each other to form a new, mysterious power.”“Indeed. If not for his low cultivation rank, the power created by their fusion would have been enough to kill Stanley.”“Which universe is that man from?”“I haven’t seen him in my universe before.”“In my universe, the Five Elements of Genesis were all taken by different powerhouses.”…Many of the spectators were surprised by James’ strength.However, they were unaware that the Elemental Path Seals of Genesis that underwent Elemental Inversion could produce Macrocosm Power. Since their ranks were still far from that of a Macrocosm Ancestral God, they could not sense the Macrocosm Power.However, the Macrocosm Gods
Henrik hovered in mid-air and stared back at Stanley.Stanley was from the Third Universe, which was relatively advanced with a stable Heavenly Path. Moreover, his mentor was a Macrocosm Ancestral God. However, Henrik was not intimidated.Meanwhile, James was dumbfounded by Henrik’s sudden appearance.‘Henrik?! Why is Henrik here? The person who taught my teacher? Does that mean his teacher is one of Yukia’s disciples?’ thought James.Once again, he learned more about Yukia.“Hey, Bro! Fancy meeting you here.”Henrik turned around and looked at James who had called out in delight. He stepped back slightly and said, “Hey, I’m only interfering because I didn’t like how he’s bullying someone weaker than him. Who’re you calling your Bro? Don’t suddenly act like we’re friends. You’re not qualified to be a brother of mine.”“...”James was stunned.‘What’s going on? Henrik doesn’t seem to recognize me.’After processing what happened, James snapped back to reality and asked, “A-A
Their palms slammed into each other, and the two forces mixed with each other causing a black hole to form in the void.Fortunately, the Heavenly Path kept the force in check and prevented the black hole from enlarging.Both Henrik and Stanley brought their full strength to bear against each other.Stanley was blasted away by the force and coughed out blood. Meanwhile, Henrik stood firmly in place.After they traded blows, their difference in strength was evident. Henrik was slightly stronger than Stanley.Stanley’s face darkened and was terrifyingly vicious. He glared at Henrik and said, “You’re strong. I’ll drop the issue for now. However, I’ll remember what happened here and will make sure to avenge Pierre in the future.”Henrik said calmly, “I’ll take you on anytime.”Many prodigies watched the battle as it unfolded.“That chubby guy seems quite formidable. Stanley is from the Third Universe, and the Heavenly Path there is very stable. He’s probably one of the strongest cul
Henrik conducted himself extremely respectfully as he spoke of Yukia.“My Grandmaster’s strength is unrivaled. Although I’ve only ever seen her clone, I know that she can best the Twelfth Universe’s Lord. If she had the slightest inclination, she could easily get rid of Hadad.“However, she can’t be bothered with him because she has a bigger plan.”Hearing this, James asked. “What’s her plan?”Henrik shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”“What does Yukia look like? Do you have a portrait of her? Could you show it to me?”“I…” Henrik hesitated. He had indeed seen Yukia before. However, her appearance was supposed to be a secret, and she had warned him never to reveal it to others.“I’m sorry. She warned me not to reveal her appearance to others.”“Alright.” James refrained from prying further.After the brief conversation, James could tell Yukia was a very mysterious person.He suspected she did not come from the Twelfth Universe and was possibly from another universe.J
Was Henrik’s master the one that briefly became the Demon Realm’s Lord during the Primordial Age after diverting the Demon Realm’s attack on the Human Realm and caused its subsequent fall?James was even more confused.However, he quickly put his thoughts away.He was sure the truth would come to light sooner or later.“Is there anything else you’d like to ask?” Henrik eyed James curiously.James shook his head and replied. “Nope.”“In that case, let’s head back.”Henrik turned around and headed toward the distant spiritual mountain.James followed behind him and asked. “Will a Chaotic Treasure appear on this spiritual mountain?”Henrik, who was ahead, shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. However, everyone is speculating it will. It’s also rumored that a powerhouse from the Fourth Universe obtained an extraordinary treasure capable of predicting where new Chaotic Treasures will turn up in the new universe. Somehow word got out, and news of it spread. As a result, countless
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
