“I’ll just have to force my way into their base and find out for myself.”James raised his hand, and a powerful force flowed out his palm. At his current strength, one attack would have been enough to destroy the Xaadsans’ protective formation.He would have to coerce them into revealing their information.Swoosh!James’ waved his hand, and the powerful force slammed into the Xaadsans’ protective formation.Boom!The formation trembled for a while after the impact. The ground in the area began to shake, and made it feel akin to a doomsday. The huge formation began to fall apart.James made a powerful attack, and it attracted the attention of many Xaadsan powerhouses. Dozens of figures immediately appeared before James.Other beings on the other spiritual mountains of the Boundless Holy Land also sensed the tremors and expressed their confusion.Who would dare to start a fight in the Boundless Holy Land? Was this person not afraid of the Boundless Welkin’s Lord?A few powerhou
The Boundless Welkin’s powerhouses felt an abnormal change in the Dark Heavenly Path, making their faces pale in fear.The last time an abnormality emerged at the Dark Heavenly Path was countless years ago during the Dark Strife. The Xaadsan family’s head had sensed James’ overwhelming and impressive power, and was gasping for air due to the pressure.The other Xaadsans were also similarly terrified. “It’s your last chance.” James’ voice boomed threateningly.Laethis Xaadsan, the Xaadsan family head, said frantically, “I’ll speak! I’ll tell you everything. Please come inside. It’s a very long story. I’ll slowly go through everything with you.”Laethis made a welcoming gesture, inviting Xaadsan into the house. James withdrew his Chaos Power and walked into the Xaadsan’s spiritual mountain. He sat down in the hall of a manor atop the spiritual mountain. Rare spiritual fruits were served to him. However, he had no intention of eating them. James simply wanted to find out about Jabar
Jabari, an ambitious man?James knew Jabari very well, and Jabari did not fit that description. His strength was one of the best in the Primordial Age. He could have easily dominated and taken control of the Twelfth Universe back then, but he chose not to. Instead, he wandered around the ruins of the Twelfth Universe in search of hints of Yukia’s whereabouts.How could a person like him conspire for the mere position of the head of the Xaadsan family?“Are you telling the absolute truth?” James glared at Laethis.Laethis immediately nodded and replied, “I did not utter a single lie.”James asked, “Then, where did he go after fleeing with Xulia as a hostage?”Laethis said, “Jabari was besieged by many of our family’s powerhouses and was injured. However, since he was holding our young lady hostage, none of us dared to act recklessly. We had no choice but to let him leave. We tried following his traces, but he escaped into the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone. Our family members did
James traveled to the Xaadsans’ base in the Boundless Holy Site and acquired a few clues about Jabari’s whereabouts. He learned that Jabari had entered the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.Although the Xaadsan family’s words could not be fully trusted, James believed that Jabari had entered the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone and was sure he would find Jabari there.Laethis also warned him of the dangers of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, and James learned that those who had surpassed a Ninth Stage Lord were called Acmeans.Afterward, he left the Xaadsans’ base. He did not plan to immediately venture into the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone because it would be dangerous, not to mention that Acmeans were also involved. James planned to return to the Malevolent Land in the Ten Earths to ask Sienna about it first.After all, Sienna was an Eighth Stage Lord that controlled the Malevolent Lord. Even though she had never been to the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, she must have heard ab
Sienna immediately dissuaded him, “You shouldn’t act recklessly, James. You’ve just come to the Dark World and don’t understand the horror of the restricted areas. Let me explain. In the past, many went to these restricted zones. They all got contaminated with the power of these places and became terrifyingly strong, turning the Dark World upside down.“The Dark Strife that Yukia participated in seems to also be related to a certain restricted area.”“Oh, is that so? Could you tell me more?” asked James.Sienna shook his head and said, “It’s a taboo topic in the Dark World. Not many are aware of it. I’ve only heard a few rumors and don’t really know much. We can only wait for Xerxes’ return.”Speaking of Xerxes, James’ curiosity was piqued.“What kind of existence is Xerxes?”Sienna explained, “I don’t know much about his background either. I only know that he’s from a powerful family. His family’s ancestor had participated in the Dark Strife and knew some inside stories.”While
After hearing Sienna’s words, James had a strong intuition that a conspiracy was quietly unfolding, or in other words, there had been an invisible force controlling everything all along.There had always been a mysterious force hiding in the dark, and Yukia was their greatest nemesis.At his current strength, James’ intuitions were very accurate, and there could not be any mistakes.James felt he was close to the truth and was only one step away.He would unravel the truth very soon.“Where is Xerxes?” asked James.Sienna replied, “When he contacted me, he was close to leaving the Hate Welkin. However, I don’t know where he is now. I tried contacting him again but couldn’t get through to him.”“Let’s go find him immediately.”The two quickly left Mount Malevolent Moon and rushed to the Hate Welkin.…Somewhere in the Hate Welkin, a crack appeared in the sky. A man and woman emerged quietly from the crack.They were in a primitive mountain range. There were towering, old tr
James shouted, “Reversion of day and night, regression of time! Break!”His Chaos Power manifested and caused the surroundings to become distorted. Even the Dark Heavenly Path was affected by his power.At that moment, a powerful force intervened with the time, causing everything to regress.Or in other words, James broke through the time’s limit, forcefully traveled through the Dark World’s River of Time, and returned to the past with Sienna.James and Sienna returned to the moment when Xerxes had appeared.Swoosh!The void ahead of them split open, and a figure plummeted through it. The person fell into the mountain range and destroyed the surroundings.The person was none other than Xerxes.At that moment, Xerxes no longer had the mighty aura of a Ninth Stage Lord. His hair was messy, his body was covered in blood, and his aura was very weak. It was evident he had suffered severe injuries.After Xerxes fell into the area, a few unknown creatures also appeared.The creature
“Unknown Region?” James was slightly taken aback.“What kind of place is that?”Sienna explained, “The Dark World is huge. There are the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The outermost part of the Dark World is connected to the twelve universes.“The so-called unknown region is unexplored. There are no living beings in there It’s somewhat equivalent to the Chaos Space outside the twelve universes, but not exactly the same.“The twelve universes were formed in the Chaos and exist within it.“The Dark World’s Unknown Region is different. It’s located in the deepest parts of the Dark World. It’s rumored a passage exists within these areas. However, nothing is known about where it leads to.”Even though Sienna had been in the Dark World for a long time, she was unfamiliar with the Unknown Region.James was surprised. The more he learned, the more terrifying the Dark World became.“Xerxes entered the Unknown Region. I have to find him no matter how dangerous it is. He’s a very crucial pi
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
