“Where are you, Thea? When will you appear?”James gazed into the distance. His gaze pierced through the universe and reached into the void.At that moment, a man walked into James’ manor. He was a bald man who was dressed in a monk’s cassock. The monk stuck his head into James’ manor. James immediately reacted and said, “Since you’re already here, please come in.”The monk scratched his bald head and walked in with a smile. James pointed to the chair next to him.The monk took a seat and said, “Thank you.”James asked, “Who are you?”Quanesha, however, was alarmed. Apparently, she knew who this man was.The monk smiled and said, “Longinus Klopas.”Hearing this, James was stunned. He had only just mentioned Longinus to Quanesha, and he did not expect him to appear out of nowhere just like that.Though he was secretly stunned, his expression was composed as he said smilingly, “Ah, the Lord of the Second Universe. Your reputation precedes you.”“The title means nothing to me.
Longinus came looking for James because he knew that he annihilated a Macrocosm Ancestral God of the Sixth Universe in the Chaos outside the Twelfth Universe. The Sixth Universe had always had a close relationship with the First. Since James, also known as Forty-Nine, annihilated Santino Hiram, this made him an enemy of Longinus’ enemy. That was why he wanted to win him over to his side. A guy like James who could easily annihilate a Three-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God with a Chaotic Treasure was not to be trifled with. However, he did not expect James to try and win him over instead.He immediately froze.James looked at him and smiled, asking, “What do you think? You will be a deputy, you know? As long as you help me ascend the throne, there will be no problem at all.”Longinus immediately burst into a peal of laughter.“Interesting, I’m beginning to like you more now. However, becoming the Lord of the new universe requires strength.”Longinus could not see through James’ rank.
Most of the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods here were from the First Universe and would obey the Omnipotent Lord’s every command. The same goes for the Lords of other universes. As such, he was only trying to rub this in the Omnipotent Lord’s face.The Omnipotent Lord’s expression darkened.“Cut to the chase, Longinus. Please leave if there’s nothing else you need. We still have a meeting going on here.”As if suddenly reminded of something, Longinus said, “Indeed, I have something I wish to ask you.”The Omnipotent Lord looked at him and asked, “What is it?”Longinus said, “Surely you have heard of Forty-nine?”“What about him?” The Omnipotent Lord was puzzled. Why would Longinus suddenly bring up Forty-nine?“Oh, nothing much. Just that he came looking for me and sought to win me over. He wants me to support him as the Lord of the new universe. He even promised he would make me his deputy,” Longinus said nonchalantly.At the same time, he observed the Omnipotent Lord’s expressions i
Longinus went looking for the Omnipotent Lord. Though the Omnipotent Lord remained silent, Longinus had gotten the answer he wanted. Upon leaving, he contemplated just how a powerful figure like Forty-Nine appeared out of nowhere from a universe as weak and insignificant as the Twelfth Universe. James only managed to annihilate a Three-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God with a Chaotic Treasure in the Chaos outside the Twelfth Universe, and it was only through this battle that his name spread far and wide.Longinus had heard of this battle as well. In fact, he had even sent men to the Twelfth Universe to investigate the matter but found nothing.“What a headache…”Longinus rubbed his temples.Meanwhile, in James’ accommodation…Quanesha looked at James while wearing a grim expression and said, “Do not be fooled by Longinus’ appearance. As a powerful figure who could survive under the constant suppression of the Omnipotent Lord, he’s no pushover.”James knew this, of course. He nodded s
Time was running out for James. Would he be able to gain the support of the powerful figures in less than a month?“You’re dismissed for now. I’ll find you if I need anything.”“Alright.” Quanesha stood up and turned to leave.James remained seated for some time before leaving the Ancestral Holy Site and heading to Mount Nine-Saints where Mirabelle resided. Soon, he arrived at Mount Nine-Saints. Before him was an undulating mountain range, where picturesque sceneries were abundant. Outside the spiritual mountain, there was even a powerful formation. James appeared outside the formation. He could sense that the mysterious formation contained incredible power, so much so that even he could feel a chill down his spine.“As expected of the spiritual mountain of an Eight-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God. This Formation should be able to prevent many people from entering.”James furrowed his eyebrows. He might not be able to break through the formation set up by an Eight-Power Macrocos
The moment James laid his eyes on Mirabelle, he immediately knew that she was injured. Not only that, she was contaminated by Dark Power. He was stunned. Mirabelle was an Eight-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God. As such, he found it hard to believe that she was injured. So who exactly was capable of harming her?"What happened? There shouldn't be anyone who can stand a chance against you even in the Dark World. Who injured you?" James asked.Mirabelle did not answer his question for she knew that James had ulterior motives."Can I help you with anything?" She asked."Should we talk inside?" James asked smilingly.Mirabelle beckoned for James to enter, and she headed into the depths of Mount Nine-Saints. There were nine mountains in the depths of Mount Nine-Saints, and each was as mysterious as the rest as they were formed by the providence of Heaven and Earth. Mount Nine-Saints was one of these mountains, and that was Mirabelle's place of residence. There was a manor at the peak.I
Mirabel stared at him. This Dark Power that tortured her for such a long time was easily absorbed by James. Yet, James seemed to be fine. This shocked her. This gave her a false impression of James' strength, which she mistakenly believed to be so overwhelming that even Dark Power could be suppressed.James' strength far surpassed hers."What Path have you cultivated, Forty-nine?"Mirabelle asked, "Can the Omniscience Path truly cultivate such a mysterious power?"James shook his head and smiled.Puzzled, Mirabelle awaited his response.James said while smiling, "There's a unique and mysterious Path in this world that doesn't belong to any universe but rather that of Chaos beyond the universes. This Path is called the Chaos Path, which is the one I'm cultivating. Meanwhile, the power I'm cultivating is the Chaos Power, a power that surpasses all other powers. When cultivated to perfection, you will surpass the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank and reach a brand-new realm ca
Mirabelle requested to be James' disciple solely because of the Chaos Path. She was a human of the First Universe and one of the first to ever exist. As she had experienced everything there was, only the unknown, mysterious Chaos could pique her interest."Master, can you tell me more about the Chaos Path?"Mirabelle looked at James in anticipation. At that moment, her adorable expression was unlike that of a powerful figure."Uhm…"James was at a loss."Even if you're now my disciple, I don't know much about you. The sect prohibits me from teaching the Chaos Path easily. Once I know more about you, I'll teach you the Chaos Path."James began to dupe her. That was because he did not know what to explain to her. He only cultivated to this step only because of Yukia's guidance, and he only acquired such strength by absorbing the Macrocosm Core.Hearing this, Mirabelle was slightly disappointed. However, she did not inquire further. Since James was now her master, she would have pl
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
