“I was immediately ambushed after unsealing his notes. It just seems too strange.”Xerxes had a few doubts.Who left these notes and set up the seal on them? Why was he attacked and hunted down after he opened the seal?James also had the same questions. He changed the subject and asked, “Then, what kind of existence do you think are those creatures that attacked you? Where are they from?”Xerxes shook his head slightly, not knowing the answers either.After briefly considering it, he said, “There are two possibilities. One is that they’re part of the force that released the news of the Acme Path in the past. Second is that these creatures are from these restricted areas. The Dark World’s restricted areas are full of mysteries.”James nodded, agreeing with Xerxes’ words.Sienna asked, “Then, what should we do now?”James thought for a while and said, “We don’t understand anything yet, so it’s hard to make any moves. All we can do now is wait. Those creatures trying to kill Xerx
James left the Malevolent Land and rushed toward the area nearest to the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.The Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone was located at the junction of the Boundless Welkin and the Triple Star Welkin.He arrived in a strange place. It was located in a vast mountain range. No creature dared to come close to this mountain range, as the strange power in the area would contaminate them. None of those infected with this power had good endings.Some survived but eventually became corrupted. There were also some cases where some people were contaminated by the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone’s power, and their power was slowly drained. Ultimately, they turned into mortals without any power and died.There were too many rumors and mysteries about the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.The Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone was located in an extensive mountain range. Even powerhouses’ Divine Senses could not penetrate it. Therefore, no one knew its exact terrain. When viewed f
After Lord Samsong released the news, it attracted the attention of many Dark Lords.“Lord Samsong wants to venture into the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone. It’s a great opportunity to enter the deepest parts of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone and obtain some boons.”“Even if there isn’t any reward, it’ll be a good chance to venture into the place if we're selected.”Many powerful beings discussed the matter.“However, there’s a requirement to sign up. Lord Samsong is only recruiting powerhouses at the Lord Rank’s Fifth Stage and above.”“Why is Lord Samsong going into the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone?”“It’s a restricted area, and even a Ninth Stage Lord might die there.”“Perhaps Lord Samsong has learned some secrets about the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone. Or maybe there’s something he wants in there?”“Lord Samsong is already a mighty powerhouse. There aren’t any treasures that can catch his attention. If there’s any, it has to be a way to enter the Acme Rank. Could t
Quenby Jerneja was one of Mount Bajuergh’s Eight Lords.She had been waiting at the foot of Mount Bajuergh for a while, and several people had already signed up. However, most of them were mediocre. They would not even be able to withstand the force outside the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, let alone enter the depths of it.As soon as James appeared, Quenby knew he was a powerful man.Mount Bajuergh was a mountain range consisting of eight mountains.Many living beings had gathered in a palace hall atop one of these mountains.A man in his fifties sat in the highest seat. He wore a white robe that had three black stars embroidered onto it. It was none other than Lord Samsong, the ruler of the Triple Star Welkin. He commanded many forces.He had long, black hair and thick, long eyebrows, which made him look a bit unusual. His face was round, and he emitted a very domineering aura.Some other people were standing in the hall below him.Apart from the other seven Mount Bajuergh’
Even though Lord Samsong was a Ninth Stage Lord, he remained calm. Instead of a peerless powerhouse, his demeanor felt more like an ordinary person at that moment.“Forty-nine?” Lord Samsong was taken aback.Lord Samsong knew almost every powerhouse in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. However, Forty-nine was an unfamiliar name.He could not sense James’ cultivation rank, so he knew James was a terrifying powerhouse. Lord Samsong concluded that James was most likely a Ninth Stage Lord, or at the very least, a Seventh Stage Lord. He must have cultivated an exceptional Supernatural Power, preventing others from sensing his cultivation rank.Regardless of what the truth was, it was evident that James was a peerless powerhouse.All the Lords present fixed their eyes on James. None of them could sense James’ cultivation rank, but they detected a magical power in James’ body.Lord Samsong pointed to an empty seat beside him and said, “Have a seat.”James nodded, walked over, and sat
James was immediately interested when Lord Samsong mentioned the Omniscience Path.He had cultivated the Omniscience Path and reached the Fourth Stage, which was unprecedented. However, he had difficulties entering the Fifth Stage.Lord Samsong explained, “I don’t know much about it since I’ve only read brief records in an ancient book. I’m not even sure if it’s real.“The Omniscience Path is said to be a dead end at the Third Stage. Since ancient times, no one has been able to go beyond and reach the Fourth Stage.“The ancient book I read claimed the Omniscience Path was incomplete because Acme Power was lost. It’s rumored that Acme Power could unlock living beings’ potential, allowing them to break their limits and improve their physical strength.”Lord Samsong shared the information he had acquired.The Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone was dangerous, and he did not want to hide anything from the others. Therefore, he honestly told them everything he knew.James immediately thou
James carefully observed and sensed his surroundings. Unfortunately, he could not detect Jabari.However, he was not in a rush. He entered the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone from the Triple Star Welkin. Meanwhile, Jabari entered from the Boundless Welkin. Since they entered from different directions, James had already expected that he would not be able to sense Jabari’s aura immediately.As long as Jabari was still alive, James was confident he would detect him after entering the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone. After he sensed Jabari’s whereabouts, it would be easy for him to bring him out.James looked ahead of him.His Divine Sense could not pass through the white mist nor detect the terrain inside the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.Apart from the strong Dark Power, there was nothing abnormal yet.Lord Samsong reminded them, “Be careful.”After speaking, he descended from the sky and landed on the ground. It was important not to enter the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone reck
The group slowly advanced under Lord Samsong’s leadership.They had already arrived at the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone’s periphery, and the pressure was enough to destroy a Caelum Ancestral God’s body and soul, but those who could participate in the trip were all powerful Lords.There were many Macrocosm Herbs and Fruits in the area.Swoosh!After walking for a while, a long spear emitting powerful energy shot out from the ground and darted into the depths of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.Someone from the ground shouted, “It’s a Chaotic Treasure!”Many of the Lords were tempted by the Chaotic Treasure’s appearance and wanted to chase after it. However, they remembered Lord Samsong’s warning and did not dare to act rashly. They could only idly watch as the Chaotic Treasure disappeared from sight.On the other hand, Lord Samsong was unmoved and did not pursue it. At his cultivation rank, a Chaotic Treasure did not benefit him. Throughout the long years, he had already obt
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
