In the void outside Mount Ancestre, a crack appeared. The crack continuously expanded. Within a split second, a cloud of black mists appeared. The black mists contained frightening Dark Power that spread across the Ancestral Holy Site and engulfed it.At this moment, the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods and Caelum Ancestral Gods in the main hall of Mount Ancestre realized that something was not quite right. They stood up and went outside the main hall, only to see the black mists heading towards them from afar.“Dark Power?”“Wh-What?”“The armies of the Dark World have invaded us. Are they here to destroy the most powerful figures of the twelve universes because they knew that all of them would be gathered here in the First Universe?”A number of Macrocosm Ancestral Gods exclaimed.The Omnipotent Lord took the lead and looked in the direction of the black mists. They appeared outside the Ancestral Holy Site before disappearing. Then, innumerable living beings of the Dark World showed up
“James?”The Omnipotent Lord was taken aback and fell into deep thought. Then, he began recalling his memory.”“I remember,” said the Omnipotent Lord.“That’s good,” Sienna said coldly, “In the Thirteenth Universe, the nine powerhouses of the First Universe worked together to form a kill trap, luring James into it and causing him to die in battle. I’m here to settle accounts today.”The Omnipotent Lord immediately explained, “When obtaining fortune in the new universe, I’ve already said that any grudges in the new universe won’t involve each universe. James died because he wasn’t strong enough. It isn’t the other people’s fault.”“Haha.” Sienna laughed. “James died in the hands of the First Universe’s living beings. I want the First Universe to die too.”Sienna’s aura was frightening.The Dark Army behind her was even more so.All this made all the Lords of the Universes and Macrocosm Gods unable to express their opinions. They were afraid of angering the powerful Dark Lord, re
Yermolai was recuperating in seclusion. His injuries had not fully healed. He did not appear even when the conference began.He only knew he had been turned in.He had no idea what was going on.Since this matter involved him and Thoth, he guessed it was related to the battle in the Thirteenth Universe.“Teacher, what’s going on? Save me!”As the black smoke engulfed Yermolai, he could feel his body decaying. He was terrified.The Omnipotent Lord’s expression was dark. As the matter had gone to this extent, he could only hand over Yermolai to prevent this battle from happening. He said, “Yermolai, this is your debt. You have to pay it back. I can’t help you as your teacher.”When he heard that, Yermolai felt despair. Seeing Sienna full of killing intent, he could sense how powerful Sienna was. He was sure she was on par with his teacher. Besides, there were too many lords behind her.“Lord, this has nothing to do with me. I only followed my teacher’s instructions. At first, I d
The Omnipotent Lord felt disappointed with the people who stepped back. He scolded, “If you back out today, the Dark World will gather an army and appear in your universes. Now, the only way is to work together and fight against the Dark Army. Whether or not the Dark Lord can wipe out the twelve universes depends on her ability.”The Omnipotent Lord knew that with the First Universe’s ability, the First Universe could not resist the Dark Army led by Sienna at all. Currently, the only method was to form an alliance with all twelve universes. Only then could they have a chance of winning.Sienna swept her gaze across all Macrocosm Ancestral Gods present.“This is my grudge toward the First Universe. It has nothing to do with the rest of you, so please leave. I promise I will not invade other universes. If you insist on fighting along with the First Universe, I will kill you too.”Even though Sienna was a lady, she never backed down and had an invincible spirit.With simple words, sh
When James sensed something wrong, he immediately left the place.Quanesha did not hesitate. Once she saw James leave, she took off too.The lords of the other universes and the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods also found something was wrong. The First Universe would have an intense battle today, and they did not want to be affected. So, they hurriedly left.Soon, only the Omnipotent Lord and several disciples of the Ancestral Holy Site stayed behind at the site.Many Macrocosm Ancestral Gods of the First Universe had also left.However, a few Macrocosm Ancestral Gods who were loyal to the Omnipotent Lord stayed at the place.“Kill every one of the First Universe without leaving anyone alive,” ordered Sienna.Once she finished speaking, the Dark Army behind her dispersed and appeared in every corner of the First Universe, killing the living beings of the First Universe.“Who dares to kill my people?!” the Omnipotent Lord roared in anger.His roar sounded throughout the universe. The D
Here, the Omnipotent Lord had a strong aura. He still spoke up, wanting to avoid the battle.The Omnipotent Lord did not want to fight, as neither the First Universe nor himself could afford to lose.“Must we fight until one of us dies?” The Omnipotent Lord’s face was dark. He had never been in such distress and humility before.“We can avoid the fight, but you must follow me to the Dark World. I’ll hold you in captivity forever,” spoke Sienna, expressing her condition.“No way.” The Omnipotent Lord refused directly. He was the Lord of the First Universe and the strongest powerhouse in the twelve universes, so how could he be imprisoned?“If so, let’s fight.”Without saying anything else, Sienna summoned the black smoke, which had a terrifying power, from her body and attacked the Omnipotent Lord.The Dark Power was too strong. The power instantly broke the galaxies the Omnipotent Lord was in. Although it was merely a ball of smoke, it caused the deaths of many living beings i
James had shown himself, but he was forced to do so.Initially, he planned to hide his identity until the consolidation of universes had finished and until the new universe took shape.Now, he had shown himself.There were two reasons he showed himself. Firstly, it was because of Sienna. To take revenge on his behalf, Sienna had done too much. He did not want Sienna to fight a life-or-death battle with the First Universe again for him.Secondly, he had comprehended the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth, and he could continue perfecting his Path, allowing his power to improve again. His improvement could be seen when he resolved Sienna’s attack.Currently, he was very strong. He was one of the top powerhouses in the twelve universes.Even if he weren’t the Omnipotent Lord’s match, with Sienna by his side, he was no longer afraid of the First Universe.Outside the Chaos, a beautiful woman stood. She watched the scene at the Ancestral Holy Site in the First Universe and saw a familiar
“Actually, I’m not a living being from the Primeval Age of the Twelfth Universe. I’m from this era.”James explained the situation of the Four Calamities of Earth.“I used the Time Capsule to go to the Primeval Age. I went there to find Thea.”Upon hearing that, Sienna understood everything. It was no wonder James had a different feeling toward Briana. It turned out that there was such a story behind them.In a cold voice, Xosha said, “Hmph. Continue making up stories. You don’t have proof.”Sienna also did not fully believe James. She had personally searched for him and confirmed he had died.James felt helpless. Then, several Paths emerged from the power in his body. There were the Five Great Paths, Elemental Path, Yin and Yang Path, Dark Path, and Karma.“Sienna, you should remember that I helped you resolve the Dark Power in the Callahan Residence. You also comprehended the Dark Path because you saw the Curse Inscription.”“In the twelve universes, only I can cultivate so m
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
