James learned many things from the bird. He was doubtful of the information’s authenticity, but the information should be true in all likelihood. Now, all he wanted to know was information regarding Jabari. However, before he could pose his question, the bird had disappeared.“What a mysterious bird…”James looked in the direction of the bird and scanned his surroundings. If he turned back, he would return to the ancient battlefield and the city in the sky. His only option was to head to the city in the sky and find a way to make a detour.The Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone was vast, and he had no idea where he was currently. Without any hesitation, his body flashed, and he appeared on the ancient battlefield.The bull-like beast was enraged, and its deafening roars shook the earth and shattered the void. The scenery seemed akin to the apocalypse.The moment James appeared on the battlefield, the beast charged toward him.Back then, James did not use his full strength. Now that h
The moment he disappeared, the beast’s foot slammed against the ground. In an instant, dust and pebbles swirled in the air, and a profound fissure appeared on the ground.At that moment, James appeared on the beast’s head and repeatedly swung the Demon-Slayer Sword in his hand. Waves of Sword Energy materialized and struck the beast. Back then, he could not make a dent in the beast’s defenses. Now that he had reached the Omniscience Path’s Fourth Stage, his strength was now sufficient to shatter the beast’s black scales. However, these attacks were not fatal to the beast.Roar!Upon being injured, the beast was enraged as an overwhelming aggressiveness was exuded from its body.After the short exchange of blows, James understood just how terrifying the beast was. Since he could not eradicate the beast despite using his full strength, he catalyzed the Space Path and entered the void to make his escape. Meanwhile, the beast distorted all space and pursued James relentlessly.The bea
The bird described the Light of Acme as the Light of Death. Now that James encountered the Light of Acme once more, he chose to take the light along with him after a brief moment of hesitation. Even though this was the Light of Death, it possessed a power that surpassed a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God or a Ninth Stage Lord. So, he wanted to conduct research on the light to comprehend more about the matter.After James sealed the Light of Acme away in the Celestial Abode, he scanned his surroundings. The ancient battlefield was so vast that he could not even see the edges of the region. He knew that he would arrive at the other side of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone if he continued walking straight ahead. Perhaps Jabari would be there.As he took a single step forward, he was already several light-years away from his original spot. On the battlefield, there were all sorts of skeletal remains, weapons, and treasures lying on the ground. However, most of the weapons and treas
James never once gave up. The moment he found a Macrocosm-Ranked elixir, he would immediately choose to refine it. After refining yet another Macrocosm-Ranked elixir, the multicolored light James exuded disappeared. Then, he stood up and stretched before furrowing his eyebrows and murmuring, “My strength didn’t increase at all. Maybe that bird was lying…”James sighed. Now, he had no other option but to venture forward. After scanning his surroundings and confirming his directions, he continued on his journey in search of Jabari and more Macrocosm-Ranked elixirs.The Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone was truly vast. There were some dangerous regions that James did not dare trespass. After traversing through the barren mountain ranges, he arrived at a sea. The sea was bizarre as the surface of the water was black. Black mist could be seen evaporating from the surface. Before he even approached the sea, James could sense a bizarre power. Seeing that this region was strange and unkno
James forcibly barged into the formation, and the pressure of the formation caused him to feel excruciating pain. Minute cracks also began to appear on his physical body from which blood oozed out. The Chaos Power in James’ body began to circulate to resist the pressure brought about by the formation.At the same time, at the top-most floor of the island…There was a palace there, in which many shadows gathered.“A living being has barged into the formation.”“Haha… Impressive… I never expected there would be living beings in the Dark World that could barge into the formation. Who knows? Perhaps he could even reach the top.”“Should we intervene?”“No need. We shall observe for now.”…James did not know that his every action was being monitored. Resisting the overwhelming pressure, he forcibly entered the formation and arrived on the island. The island was not what he had in mind. There were mountains in the surroundings, on which there were many pavilions. Meanwhile, the ce
After some time, he slowly said, “That’s right, I was abducted here. I am a living being of the Seventh Universe. One day when I was in the midst of closed-door cultivation, a gust of black mist swept toward me and brought me here. I don’t know where this place is. I only know that everyone here was abducted here.”James scanned his surroundings. Under his Zen sensation, there were approximately 50 million living beings on the island. Were they all abducted here? James could not believe this. Who and why were they abducted here?James took a seat and asked, “Can you tell me more about this place?”The elderly man glanced at James. He could not see through the young man before him. Based on the fact that James was able to barge in, he knew that James must be an extraordinary individual. Such a powerful individual was worth befriending for perhaps he could bring him out of this place.“This is a mysterious place protected by a mysterious Formation. Once you are abducted, you cannot l
It was a magical place. As such, no outside power could break the spatial barrier here. Only by cultivating the cultivation methods, Supernatural Powers, and secret arts here and combining them with one’s power can one break through the spatial barrier. Not only that, one required a total of three combinations. Now, another individual who wished to break through the spatial barrier with his power had emerged.Countless gazes were fixed on James.James raised his arm, and Chaos Power gathered in his palm. Then, he appeared before the spatial barrier in an instant and struck with great force. Powerful Chaos Power then struck the spatial barrier.Boom!At that moment, the earth shook. The shapeless spatial barrier in the sky immediately became distorted. As the spatial barrier was distorted, immense power materialized from within and forcibly devoured James’ attack, which disappeared into nothingness.James attacked a few more times. However, each time, his attack would be devoured a
The Chaos Power in his body began to transform into terrifying Murderous Energy at that moment. Overwhelming Murderous Energy surged forth, and James seemed to be the reincarnation of the devil at that point.Swoosh!He punched the air, and terrifying Murderous Energy permeated the air. In an instant, the earth shook, and a terrifying battle ripple shredded through the air. Cultivating the Fists of Wrath was easy. After cultivating the Fists of Wrath, James reappeared on the battlefield and easily defeated two shadows and obtained two cultivation methods. These two cultivation methods were unbelievably precious. In the outside world, they would be sought after by all Ancestral Gods. Here, on the other hand, one would be able to obtain them simply by defeating a few shadows.After obtaining two cultivation methods, James began cultivating once more. Before long, he had cultivated them successfully. At the same time, he used the three cultivation methods in combination with his own
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
