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
“Of course, I have to make it up for you.”After a slight hesitation, James expressed his thought.Sienna had done too much for him. So many Epochs had passed, yet she remembered to take revenge for him. She even offended the Twelfth Universe by wanting to battle with them.James did not know how to repay her.Besides, he could sense that there was a Karma connection between him and Sienna. If he refused the marriage today, more uncertainties would appear in the future.Standing to the side, Xosha had a dark expression on his face.He had known Sienna for such a long time. During this period, the two grew together and made the Dark World powerful. He knew about Sienna’s affairs and that she liked James.However, James was dead.Xosha believed that Sienna would forget about James one day and be together with him. Nonetheless, the outcome was that James was still alive and that they would hold a wedding.“Sienna, congratulations.”Xosha smiled bitterly. He did not want Sienna t
Walking over, Quanesha had an excited expression. She could not help but say, “Teacher, you’re still alive. This is great.”James smiled before changing his appearance. He changed into Forty-nine’s appearance.“Huh?” Quanesha’s jaw dropped. The surrounding lords of the universes and Macrocosm Ancestral Gods were shocked.“It’s you.”The Lord of the Ninth Universe shouted, “James, you’re Forty-nine?”The other lords of the universes and Macrocosm Ancestral Gods were also stunned.None expected Forty-nine, who defeated everyone on the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth, to be James.James smiled. “That’s right. It’s me.”He changed back into his original form.With a dark expression, the Omnipotent Lord walked over and glanced at Sienna with a wary look. He could not resist saying, “We need to discuss the consolidation of universes. This is the affair of the twelve universes and the Illuminated World. It has nothing to do with the Dark World.”Looking at the Omnipotent Lord, Sien
Strength was king. It was an unchangeable truth.Even though Kallinikos used to guide James, James' ability surpassed him. So, he could not afford James’s respect.James smiled and did not say anything.The few lords of the universes entered, and James invited them to sit.The lords’ gazes fixated on Sienna. To James, they were more concerned about Sienna. What was going on?“James, aren’t you going to introduce this beautiful lady to us?” Kallinikos asked with a smile.“Uh…” James hesitated as he did not know how to introduce Sienna.On the other hand, Sienna was friendly as she said, “I’m Sienna Callahan. I’m James’ wife.”Sienna was a person who dared to love and hate.During the Primeval Age, she made it clear that she loved James. However, she did not get James’ acknowledgment. Now that she had received James’ approval, she addressed herself as James’ wife.James smiled while nodding. Since he had already approved of Sienna, she was his wife.Where was Thea? He felt sor
Yekaterina frowned and fell into thought. After a while, she said, “I’ve heard my father mention her before.”Kallinikos’ curiosity was piqued and he turned to Yekaterina. “Oh?”Yekaterina said, “My father used to be the Tenth Universe’s former Lord. When the Tenth Universe was born, the First Universe also interfered and constantly oppressed the Tenth Universe. My father perished because of their tyranny.“Yukia was also mentioned in some messages left by my father.”James asked, “What did he say?”Yekaterina replied. “In his messages, Yukia was described as a mysterious senior who was in pursuit of the truth. She seemed to be trying to find out the essence and origin of Paths.”She attempted to explain but only had very little information about Yukia. Sienna sat aside without saying a word.James looked at her and asked, “You’re a Lord in the Dark World and have resided there for a long time. How much do you know about the Dark Strife in the past?”Sienna said, “Which one a
After a brief discussion, James dismissed the other Universe Lords.Quanesha had been waiting outside the manor for James since he entered the meeting with the other Uinverse Lords. After James sent them away, he turned to Quanesha, who was waiting outside the manor.She called out to him excitedly, “Master.”James was her master and had taught her a lot in the past. Without James, she would have died at the beginning of the Thirteenth Universe’s formation.“Let’s head inside before we talk,” said James as he invited Quanesha into the manor.Quenasha entered the manor’s hall, looked at him affectionately, and said, “Do you understand how much I missed you, Master? I’ve always wanted to avenge you all these years. However, I’m too weak and could only store my hatred in my heart.”James smiled. “I’m well and alive. I didn’t expect you to reach such a high cultivation rank. You’re already a Macrocosm Ancestral God.”Standing to the side, Sienna could tell that Quenasha had feelings
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
