The two soldiers clashed. Though their Four-Power Macrocosm Power was the same, James had imbued his soldier with Dark Power. As such, his soldier's strength was stronger than the soldier materialized from Kallinikos' Sword Path. Kallinikos' soldier was knocked back."Wow."Kallinikos could not help but exclaim. He only wanted to test James' strength. He did not expect that James' soldier would be able to deflect his attack and even knock his soldier away.Though Kallinikos did not use his full strength, he was only a mere Five-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God. So, he hurriedly summoned his soldier back to his own city.The brief battle made James better understand the rules of the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth. There, Paths could be transformed into soldiers. Besides, even if they were destroyed, one would not suffer any injuries.Upon seeing James easily deflect Kallinikos' attacks, the other Macrocosm Ancestral Gods in the surroundings immediately knew just how powerful James was
At the same time, the Sword Path was the same.James had already witnessed the Sword Path Inscription of the Sword Path’s Four-Power Macrocosm Power. Theoretically speaking, he can then use these inscriptions to cultivate the Four-Power Macrocosm Power as long as both time and fate were on his side.Now that Heaven and Earth have stipulated that the limits are the Nine-Power Macrocosm Power, he would not be able to execute the Macrocosm Power even if the Macrocosm Power he comprehended reached the Nine-Power.“This is an opportunity,” After witnessing the Sword Path and the Curse Path’s Four-Power Macrocosm Power, James felt that this journey was worth it. Even if he exposed his capacities and was unable to become the Macrocosm Ancestral God of the new universe, he would have at least witnessed the Paths of other Macrocosm Ancestral Gods.There was no other option but to continuously learn, comprehend and specialize. He could only create his own path by learning everything there is
In actuality, this was a contest between powers, except that a fight like this would not result in destruction in the outer worlds.The Omnipotent Lord took no heed of Mirabelle, Longinus, and Yuval. He charged toward a Seven-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God. This caused the Seven-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God to focus completely on his defense. He knew that he was not a match for the Omnipotent Lord. But since he had never fought the Lord before, and thus was not familiar with the Lord’s Paths, he wanted to use this opportunity to comprehend them.Two armies battled against each other on the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth. The situation was extremely intense. Other Macrocosm Ancestral Gods were observing the battle, including James.James had already reached the Omniscience Path, so all living beings under the heavens could be materialized in his eyes. He could break down all the soldiers materialized by the Omnipotent Lord into the simplest and most basic inscription. Subsequently,
The five figures were the Omnipotent Lord, Mirabelle, Longinus, Yuval, and James.Surrounding the Lord’s three directions were the three Eight-Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods, whereas the area in front of him was empty. Many cities away stood James.“James, why haven’t you attacked?” The Omnipotent Lord’s voice reverberated across the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth as he stared at James.James was still in a state of comprehension. The battle had helped James immensely in terms of his comprehension. This had nothing to do with the Chaos Path, but he knew that he had to continue on this journey of learning and comprehension. He could only create the Chaos Path when nothing was left to learn.The Omnipotent Lord’s roar interrupted James’ state. He stood up slowly from his lotus position and looked at the army materialized by the Omnipotent Lord, which was charging toward him.His expression turned rather serious. He materialized the Path of the Omnipotent Lord, yet could only arrive
What James deployed was his own power. His current power was a result of breaking and merging sixteen Path Seals, buttressed by a Macrocosm Core. The merging of these Paths exceeded Macrocosm Power, but could still not be considered Chaos Power.Now that James had some understanding of the many Paths and merged them into his own Path, he created a powerful soldier. The soldier emanated an energy that made spectators’ blood run cold and caused the entire Chessboard of Heaven and Earth to vibrate.Mirabelle knew that James had cultivated the Chaos Path, but now that she saw a soldier materialized by James’ own power on the Chessboard, she was immediately stupefied. Indeed, the Chaos Path exceeded everything in the universe and was insanely frightening.The other powerful figures only frowned their eyebrows. They had no idea that James had cultivated the Chaos Path. Heck, they did not even know what the Chaos Path was. They could only sense how uncanny James’ Path was.“What Path is
Even if James’ power was weaker than that of the Omnipotent Lord, there would not be a drastic difference between the two.“W-What Path is this?” The Omnipotent Lord glared at James intensely. His expression was filled with disbelief. He wanted to know what exactly was the Path that James used. This Path destroyed his Annihilation Path, which was created by Nine-Power Macrocosm Power.James looked calmly at the exasperated Omnipotent Lord and grinned slightly. He did not answer this question but rather summoned the soldier who embodied his own power to advance continuously. It did not take long for the soldier to appear where the Lord was located.With a raise of the soldier’s hand, all sorts of inscriptions of Heaven’s Laws materialized, attacking the city where the Lord was at. The city was destroyed in a brief moment, ousting the Omnipotent Lord from the Chessboard.There were only four people left—Mirabelle, Longinus, Yuval, and James. The remaining three only looked at James w
Beneath the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth, the Omnipotent Lord had a grim look on his face. He knew that James’ was powerful, yet he was unable to accurately gauge James’ true power. So, he was wary of trying James out recklessly. It was his idea to use the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth to test James’ power. He had not expected his own defeat, because he thought that the worst scenario was to reach a draw with James.However, the reality was that he lost completely to James.He worked hard to create a conference of all twelve universes precisely to become the Lord of all these universes combined. This would allow him to absorb sufficient providence and ascend to a higher rank.Now that James had appeared, however, it would be extremely difficult for him to become the Lord of the new universe. Every powerful figure would want to get their hands on a tempting position such as this.The followers of the Omnipotent Lord also looked gloomy. They followed the Lord because they believ
However, he could no longer say so now because of James. If there really was a competition for the position, he would not win.“How about we discuss this after merging the universes?” The Omnipotent Lord asked the opinion of all the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods. The thing he desired currently was first and foremost, the merging of the universes, because the newly formed universe would surely be his. This was so because he had the most supporters, not only in the First Universe but also in others.“In my view, we should first discuss who will become the Lord of the new Universe.” The Lord of the Ninth Universe, Kallinikos Yoav stood up and said, “We should discuss now and only merge the universes after everyone has agreed. Otherwise, casually merging the universes together may result in wars. Once the universes are merged, opinions may clash as to who should become the Lord of the new Universe.”“Yes, I agree.”“Let’s discuss the matter first.”A rather large number of Macrocosm Ancest
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
