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
Mirabelle answered with a serious look on her face, "The Omnipotent Lord has long wished to consolidate the universe. However, he failed numerous times in the past. This time, he is determined to accomplish the feat. As a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God, he can only obtain sufficient providence to make a breakthrough by consolidating the universe and becoming the Lord of the new universe. This is why he's determined to become the Lord."Pensive, James asked, "What sort of person is he?"Hearing this, Mirabelle was lost in contemplation. She found it hard to answer that question."Am I putting you in an uncomfortable position?" James asked.Mirabelle shook her head and answered, "No, it's just that I don't know what to say."James looked at her.Mirabelle said, "He's certainly a qualified Lord who has contributed immensely to the interest of the First Universe. However, from the perspective of the other universes, he's just an invader who has robbed the resources of other unive
James left Mount Nine-Saints. He came here to persuade Mirabelle to support him. Initially, he expected it to be a difficult endeavor. However, he did not expect this to be so easy.He was in a good mood. He returned to the Ancestral Holy Site and his accommodation. Now that he had Mirabelle's support, he was one step closer to becoming the Lord of the new universe.However, Mirabelle alone was not enough. If he was a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God, he could accomplish his ambitions easily. However, he was not a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God. Though. He could deal with ordinary Macrocosm Ancestral Gods, he could not fight against more powerful figures."Looks like I need to gain the support of Longinus, the Lord of the Second Universe."James sat on the wall of his courtyard and gazed into the picturesque scenery in the distance. At that moment, he was contemplating how best to gain the support of Longinus. Should he use the same trick on him just like what he did with Mir
What the hell was this guy up to? Since he had ways to convince Longinus, why was he remaining silent?He smiled and said, "Can't I have a chat with an old friend of mine?""Of course you may. Please enter."Longinus made a welcoming gesture and brought James and the Unmatched Emperor into the foyer.As Longinus took a seat, he glanced at the Unmatched Emperor. Realizing he could not see through him, he froze.'What's going on? Why are there so many powerful figures emerging out of nowhere all of a sudden?'Though puzzled, he smiled and asked, "Who is this, Forty-nine?"James introduced the Unmatched Emperor with a smile, "This is the Unmatched Emperor. He's also a living being of the Twelfth Universe.""The Twelfth Universe as well?"Longinus was stunned.His gaze was fixed on the Unmatched Emperor as he said with a sigh, "What's with the Twelfth Universe? Why are there suddenly so many powerful figures appearing out of nowhere?"As an Eight-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God, i
James never expected Longinus would support him before he could even say anything. So, he had accomplished his objective. He gave his assurance, "Don't worry. If you publicly back me, I will give me enormous benefits when I become the Lord of the new universe."Hearing this, Longinus was relieved. He said smilingly, "In that case, allow me to congratulate the Lord of the new universe in advance."James waved slightly. Then, he conversed with Longinus for some time before turning to leave.After leaving Longinus' accommodation, James said smilingly, "Thank you. If not for you applying pressure on Longinus, he would not have supported me."The Unmatched Emperor responded with a smile, "There are many benefits to being the Lord of the new universe. I hope you will be able to cultivate Chaos and surpass all limitations. Now that the outcome is determined, I'll be taking my leave. I plan to have a walk around here.""Sure," James said.The Unmatched Emperor said goodbye to James and l
With such strength, surely they could take on the Dark World, thought James. Though he had been to the Dark World before, he only reached the outer perimeters and did not venture into the depths. He only knew that the Dark World was powerful, and that there were many powerful figures residing in the depths. However, he could not put his finger on the exact strength of the Dark World. He was merely stunned by the power of the powerful figures gathered here and thought that they would be able to fight against the Dark World."Welcome to the Ancestral Holy Site."The Omnipotent Lord's voice boomed."I, the Omnipotent Lord, welcome you on behalf of the First Universe. Here, we shall discuss the consolidation of the twelve universes. This is the most glorious gathering in the history of the twelve universes. After this gathering, the twelve universes will merge into one. This is a pivotal moment in history that will go down in the annals."The Omnipotent Lord's voice reverberated throug
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
