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 faces of these Lords turned pale as they hurriedly catalyzed their power to expel the intrusion.The bizarre Dark Matter Power also contaminated James. In an instant, his physical body was corrupted, and the contaminated flesh on his arm was eaten up, leaving only his bones. The flesh from other parts of his body also gradually disintegrated. As his mind stirred, Chaos Power permeated the air and immediately expelled the Dark Matter.The other Lords also summoned their power to protect themselves.“There’s a lethal toxin in this Dark Matter.”“How terrifying…”They spoke.“As expected of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone… A First Stage Lord would have perished here.”James now understood just how terrifying the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone was. What would they encounter if they ventured further? At that moment, he was secretly worried about Jabari. Jabari had entered the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone for close to an Epoch now. James wondered if he was doing fine.Lord S
A huge decapitated corpse dangled in the air, exuding a terrifyingly powerful corpse aura. Some of the Fifth Stage Lords could even feel a chill down their spines. Lord Samsong, who was in the lead, stopped upon seeing the corpse. He then scanned his surroundings. However, there was nothing out of the ordinary.“This is a Ninth Stage Lord. Who could have killed him?”“Even a Ninth Stage Lord was killed! How terrifying! Does the legendary Acmean really exist? Even if he does, he should only be a rank higher than a Ninth Stage Lord. Can he really decapitate a Ninth Stage Lord?”Some Lords began to chatter.Samsong approached James and asked, “What do you think, Forty-nine?”After some contemplation, James said, “The Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone is an ancient restricted zone. Anything could happen here, so we shouldn’t be surprised by something like this. Our objective is to locate the Light of Acme. As such, we shouldn’t pay any heed to the corpse.”Lord Samsong nodded slightly
The corpse held an axe in his hand, emanating a very bizarre and frightening corpse aura.“We’re just passing by, and we have no plans of offending you. Please allow us passage,” Lord Samsong said.He did not wish for conflict to erupt, for even if the corpse was already dead, he still contained a Nine-Power Macrocosm Power inside him. If they came to blows, they could potentially awaken an unknown powerful being in the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone from his slumber.Holding the axe in his hand, the headless corpse appeared before Lord Samsong in an instant. He leaped into the air before coming crashing down and slashing the axe, which exuded a Nine-Power Macrocosm Power.Lord Samsong’s face darkened, and he raised the sword in his hand to deflect the attack.Boom!Two powers collided, and a terrifying battle ripple spread across the area. The battle ripple shredded through the air and shattered the surrounding void. In an instant, hollow areas appeared everywhere. However, the
A single headless corpse was unable to block the group’s passage as they possessed terrifying strength. An ordinary Lord would have been impeded there.The group ventured forward. Soon, they traversed through the white mist region and arrived at a new region, which was supposedly the central region of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone. As they gazed into the distance, they could see spiritual mountains, ancient cities, and many magnificent structures. However, these cities had been abandoned, and many of those magnificent buildings had become piles of rubble. From a distance away, the region seemed to be devoid of all life. However, one could tell that this place was once a bustling area a very long time ago. “There’s a city.”“A spiritual mountain!”“This means there was once life in the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone!”“I wonder why they all disappeared? Was there a war in the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone?”Many conversed.Meanwhile, James was scanning his surroundings for
There were buildings on each of the peaks. However, most of them had already been turned into a pile of rubble. Besides that, some of the mountains had collapsed, and the air permeated a battle aura that had existed a long time ago.Swish!Just as the group was passing through the pile of rubble, a radiant Sword Energy emerged from within a fissure and charged at the Lords. However, Lord Samsong easily deflected the attack. He casually waved his hand, and a Sword Energy materialized and struck a mountain range in the distance.Rumble!In an instant, the earth shook, and the region was completely destroyed.As they traversed the piles of rubble, some unknown power that had been in existence since long ago kept materializing and attacking them. However, as they were all powerful Lords, these powers did not affect them.“Over there! What’s that?”At that moment, a Lord pointed straight ahead. As everyone looked straight ahead, they saw an oil lamp in the abandoned mountain range a
Lord Samsong ventured deeper into the depths alongside the other Lords.This place was full of danger and filled with the residual aura of a battle from a very long time ago. The power here was so terrifying that an ordinary Lord could be annihilated. However, since the ones present were powerful Lords, they overcame these dangers easily. Upon traversing the region, they arrived at an ancient ruin.At the peak of a mountain in the depths of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, many living beings stood gazing into the distance. In the distance was an empty plot of land full of the remnants of a battle. All sorts of turbulent powers kept flashing.Upon seeing this, even James was stunned. What happened here that led to the appearance of so many skeletal remains? He even sensed the presence of many Chaotic Treasures. Immediately, he was tempted to take them all back to the Twelfth Universe. How powerful would the Twelfth Universe be with all these Chaotic Treasures?Swish!On the batt
Those who obtained Chaotic Treasures hurriedly retreated to the rear and stared at the anomaly before them. A fissure just appeared, and it was so unbelievably profound that even one’s Zen could not penetrate it. Black evil energy poured out, and it soared to the sky and permeated the surroundings, creating a frightening scene.“What’s going on?”“Something seems to have been awakened.”“There must be something sleeping in the depths. Our arrival has stirred them from their slumber.”Many said.James stared at the fissure below him.Roar!Suddenly, the roar of a beast reverberated throughout the region. Then, cracks began to appear on the ground. James and the others hurriedly retreated to the rear and arrived at the peak of a mountain behind them. The earth shattered, and a humongous creature emerged from within it. Its head was millions of meters in height, on which there was a horn that radiated a black light. It was frightening to gaze upon. Soon, the creature came into fu
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
