The starry space was dead silent.Countless spatial rifts appeared, releasing turbulent power.Yermolai stood atop a star.The star was a solid matter.Meanwhile, James’ clothes were torn, and his skin was exposed.Mysterious inscriptions floated on the surface of his skin. Powerful energy emerged from his body and affected the stars around him. The stars began to rotate under the influence of his energy. Unable to withstand James’ power, a few stars cracked and disintegrated.James stood in the distance.He used two Macrocosm Powers and could overpower Yermolai in the beginning. However, Yermolai retook the upper hand after exerting all his strength.James’ body was riddled with injuries. Even with the Life Paths’ Power, a few of them could not be healed because they were trauma dealt by a Great Path.James activated the Five Great Paths’ Power, fusing them to form his third Macrocosm Power.As soon as James’ third Macrocosm Power formed, it stacked with his other two Macr
Yermolai floated in the starry space, and the Staff of Destruction illuminated his surroundings. At that moment, he looked like an ethereal being.“The new universe’s space hasn’t stabilized yet and will be destroyed if we continue fighting here. We might end up destroying the entire universe. How about we fight in the Chaos, James?”Yermolai’s fighting spirit had risen significantly.Seeing that James had such terrifying strength, he wanted a good fight.Regardless of the outcome, he wanted to go all out with James.In the First Universe, he was almost unbeatable against those of the same cultivation rank. He had not met a worthy opponent all these years. For once, he could go all out in a fight.The Omnipotent Lord had bestowed him the Staff of Destruction.The Staff of Destruction was a Chaotic Treasure inlaid with a Macrocosm Core.The Omnipotent Lord had obtained the Macrocosm Core from the Chaos.If the Omnipotent Lord had not taken the Macrocosm Core, it would have even
The two gave it their all but were stuck at a standstill.The Demon-Slayer Sword pressed against the Staff of Destruction but failed to push Yermolai away.While in a stalemate, magical inscriptions appeared from the crystal on the Staff of Destruction. Powerful force emerged from the inscriptions, and the Staff of Destruction let out a dazzling glow.James was immediately blown away by the mysterious force.His arm went numb from the shock, and he almost lost his grip on the Demon-Slayer Sword. “That’s a very powerful Chaotic Treasure.”James was startled.While James was still marveling at the Staff of Desutrction’s strength, Yermolai launched another attack.The Staff of Destruction glowed brightly, and the light rays gathered to form a terrifying spatial cage to trap James.The light rays kept shrinking around James.James held onto the Demon-Slayer Sword and kept slashing at the light rays.The intense battle between the two continued in the Chaos.James and Yermolai
Yermolai sustained severe injuries in just a short moment. His Path Seals were cracked and could not support him to continue fighting James much longer.He held up the Staff of Destruction, resisting the Boundless Stele.James knew defeating an Ancestral God with a Chaotic Treasure would not be easy.Although Yermolai suffered severe trauma, he still had the strength to fight.“Karma Power.”James’ Karma Power swept over and surrounded Yermolai.Yermolai was injured by the Karma Power, and his injuries worsened.However, he dispelled the Karma Power almost instantly.James frowned. Then, he cast his ultimate move.“Grand Destruction.”The sixteen Path Seals in his body united and formed a new power. The power caused the surrounding space in the Chaos to tremble and distort, making it seem as if it was about to collapse.When James stepped into the Theosophical Rank, he had comprehended a new Supernatural Power—Grand Desutrcition.It was a Supernatural Power that fused the p
The other universes’ powerhouses were gathered around the area.They were puzzled to see James return.“Who won?”“Only James returned. Yermolai is nowhere to be seen. Does that mean James won?”The powerhouses discussed with each other.At that moment, a voice resounded throughout the universe.“James has defeated Yermolai and successfully climbed to the number one spot of the Soaring Dragon Ranking.”A Macrocosm Ancestral God outside the new universe announced the battle’s outcome.The powerhouses in the new universe were immediately shocked by the news.“Huh? James defeated Yermolai?”“Yermolai is an Ancestral God with ten Path Seals. Moreover, he’s from the First Universe. Did James really defeat him?”“Is this a joke? How could James from the Twelfth Universe be so strong?”The prodigies of different universes were stunned by the news.On the other hand, James felt the Macrocosm Herb’s Power permeating through his body. The Macrocosm Herb was very miraculous. Although
Quanesha immediately understood her Grand Patriarch’s intentions.She knelt to the ground, kowtowed, and said, “Please accept me as your disciple, Sir.”James was startled.‘What’s this out of the blue?’ thought James.He looked at Quanesha kneeling on the ground and said, “I’m from another universe. I came here to obtain the boons and treasure that will appear here. After everything is seized, I’ll be leaving. How can I accept you as my disciple?”Quanesha said, “Without your protection, Mount Snow Sect will become a target to many powerhouses. If you don’t accept me and bring me with you, Mount Snow Sect will definitely be destroyed.”“This…”James was troubled.Standing aside, Henrik said, “It’s not easy for her either. Why don’t you just accept her?”After speaking, Henrik supported her up from the ground and said, “You should get up first. I’ll decide on his behalf. However, you should know your duties as a disciple. You’ll have to warm his bed at night…”James rolled hi
James dismissed the complicated thoughts.He planned to think about it when it was the right time.The new universe was full of treasures and great opportunities. The most crucial task now was to seize these boons.He had gained great enlightenment after coming to the new universe.Coincidentally, he stumbled upon the formation of a planet and gained a clear understanding of the nature of Paths. Now, he could use the Law of Heaven to do as he pleased. He could even create life.The two traveled through the universe, stopping at some planets to find treasures.Apart from the Chaotic Treasures, there were many other treasures in the new universe, including valuable herbs and rare materials to refine powerful weapons.However, many of these treasures had already been looted by others. James and Henrik had no luck in finding them.Three thousand years had passed since James’ battle against Yermolai.During these three thousand years, James and Henrik had been traveling together.
“Is that so? What did Yukia say?” James was intrigued.Henrik fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, “She said that the Omniscience Path is a branch of cultivation available after the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven.“However, it’s impossible to go far in the Omniscience Path. You’ll reach a dead end at the Third Stage and won’t be able to go any further.”James asked, “Did Yukia mention anything about how to enter the Third Stage?”Henrik took out a white jade piece, threw it to James, and said, “She did. Everything is recorded in there. Go through it yourself.”James used his Divine Sense and immediately obtained the information from the jade piece.After a while, James murmured, “I see.”Henrik looked at him and asked curiously, “Are you going to try it?”“Of course.”James stood up, stretched his muscles, and said, “Even if I meet a dead end, it’ll still be good for me to enter the Third Stage.”The jade piece recorded the steps to entering the Omniscience Path
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
