Under Kallinikos’ protection, Henrik returned to the Twelfth Universe. Upon sensing the familiar aura of the Twelfth Universe, he could not help but sigh. Meanwhile, Kallinikos did not linger for long. After sending Henrik here, he immediately turned to leave.Holding James in his embrace, Henrik traveled through the stars. As his speed was extraordinary, he took a step forward and disappeared without a trace before arriving at the next space. Soon, he arrived at the Mortal Realm’s Divine Dimension and landed safely.“Where is your home, James?”Henrik was at a loss.As he was not that familiar with James, he did not know James was acquainted with in the Twelfth Universe. He only knew that Hadad Theophanes was the one who sent James to the Thirteenth Universe.After murmuring to himself, he planned to send James to Mount Heavenly Path. In the meantime, he was puzzled.‘This shouldn’t be. Master said that James is the hope of the future. So why would he die?’Henrik simply could
Henrik blamed himself for James’ death. If he had been more careful, James would not have been lured into the trap.Hadad’s expression was composed. After all, he sent James to the new universe so that he could die there. Now that James was dead, there was nothing else to be concerned about.“Give him a proper burial.”Saying that, Hadad disappeared from view.Burials were the customs of the Twelfth Universe. All living beings would be buried upon death.Outside Mount Heavenly Path, James’ body lay on the ground. Beside him were a man and two women. They were Henrik, Melinda, and Winnie.Henrik said, “I don’t know much about James. I don’t know where to bury him.”“We should bury him in the Human Realm.” Winnie said, “Find a spiritual mountain in the Human Realm’s Mortal Dimension and bury him there.”Winnie understood James. Though she came from the future, she was also from the Mortal Dimension as well. So, she figured that her father would like to return to the Mortal Dimens
In the meantime, the First Universe began to exert control over the Thirteenth Universe. By the time the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods of the other universes had forced the Dark Army back, the Thirteenth Universe had been seized by the First Universe. The Lord of the First Universe banded together with many Macrocosm Ancestral Gods of the same universe and performed a Supernatural Power that merged the Thirteenth and First Universes in an effort to lengthen the lifespan of the First Universe.Meanwhile, in the Twelfth Universe…Hadad bitterly resisted the Dark Night Lord with the other powerful figures of the Twelfth Universe. After an Epoch of war, the Twelfth Universe had suffered tremendous losses. Meanwhile, the Dark Night Lord did not pursue them further. After annihilating many of the powerful figures of the Twelfth Universe, he chose to retreat, thus ending the Epoch-long war.On the other hand, Hadad was gravely injured during the war. Immediately after the war ended, he hurriedl
For the Twelfth Universe’s peace and prosperity, Hadad must die. Though the price to pay would be heavy, everything would be worth it in the end. Upon Radomir’s return to Mount Nothingness, he banded together with the powerful figures there and executed the plan. Now that Hadad was injured after the war with the Dark World, his strength had greatly diminished. This was a perfect opportunity to strike.Radomir arrived at a restricted area of Mount Nothingness alongside a group of powerful figures of Mount Nothingness. “Young Master, are we using the Polaris Sword?” Karter asked.“Mhm.”Radomir nodded and said, “Though Hadad is injured, he’s still a Macrocosm Ancestral God, after all. Annihilating him won’t be an easy feat. I should use the Chaotic Treasure left behind by my father. With the Polaris Sword’s power, in combination with mine, even if I can’t strike Hadad dead, I can gravely injure him. That way, killing him would be much easier.”“Alright. We will be assisting you f
Hadad had left. However, now that he had reached the Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank, not to mention that he had cultivated a terrifying Supernatural Power, he surreptitiously entered the basement once more. Since Hadad was already injured, he did not detect the presence of any intruder. Sensing that Hadad was gravely injured, Radomir did not hesitate at all. Silently, he appeared behind Hadad while holding a white sword in his hand. Hadad immediately sensed the imminent danger and tried to escape. However, the space here had been sealed shut. In his prime, he would have shattered the seal easily. Now, however, he was only a fraction of his full strength.Swish!The Polaris Sword pierced through Hadad’s body. Mysterious power exuded from the Polaris Sword frantically destroyed Hadad’s body.“You…”Radomir was enraged.“Wh-What do you think you are doing, Radomir?”Radomir pulled out the sword, and a hole appeared in Hadad’s body. Mysterious power began to spread from Hadad’s wound a
At Winnie’s place of residence on Mount Nothingness, she heard Radomir’s voice. Then, she gazed into the distance and murmured, “This day has finally come. No one can stand in the way of the cogwheels of history.”Winnie closed her eyes and put those thoughts aside. As she was not from this age, she could not change anything.Many figures appeared in Hadad Palace in an instant. These were all powerful figures of Mount Heavenly Path, which included Melinda and Herschel.“Radomir, you…!”The moment Herschel appeared, he pointed at Radomir furiously and asked coldly, “What have you done? Where is my father?”Radomir looked at the group of people and said nonchalantly, “Hadad has perished at my hands.”“Dammit!”Herschel roared and exuded a terrifying aura before charging toward Radomir. However, before he could approach Radomir, he was knocked back by a powerful aura, and he collapsed heavily to the floor.“The Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank?”Their faces paled.“That’s right,” Ra
“Hahaha…”Radomir snickered and said, “Since you are here, you don’t have much of a choice.”Winnie said with firm determination, “I will never be involved in the grudges of this age. I will leave Mount Heavenly Path at once and seal myself in a secluded place. I promise I will never leave that place.”Then, she turned to leave.Just as she turned, Radomir raised his hand, and mysterious power materialized in his palm. However, he did not strike Winnie.“For James’ sake, I guess I will spare your life this time.”He sighed and dispersed the power in his palm. He did not know what was the relationship between Winnie and James, but he roughly guessed that they were close. Winnie did not involve herself in the conflicts of this age and chose to live in seclusion. Meanwhile, Radomir used the Heavenly Path he controlled to mass-produce Heaven’s Adjudicators and began a long struggle against the powerful figures of the universe alongside Mount Nothingness. One side was Mount Nothingn
A long time ago, James tore his soul apart and fused it with his physical body. Theoretically speaking, he would not die as long as his physical body existed. In the new universe, he suffered a devastating blow, and his life came to an end. Meanwhile, a huge portion of his soul disappeared with only a tiny fragment remaining inside his physical body. As his physical body had lost all signs of life, his soul did not appear. So, even a Macrocosm Ancestral God did not detect the presence of his hidden soul.The Path Seals of his sixteen Paths were shattered and merged with the power of various Paths, running amok inside his body. As he consumed the Macrocosm Core, the Macrocosm Core also shattered and transformed into a mysterious power. In addition to the countless spiritual herbs Henrik had given him, their power had been refined by the Superformation and merged into one. Just as James’ life came to and end, these powers were concealed inside his physical body. As countless Epochs pass
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
