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
Jabari was stunned the moment he laid his eyes on James.“I-Is that really you?”Jabari stammered.James looked at him. Jabari was wearing a white robe. His appearance was as handsome-looking as always, and he exuded a charismatic aura. Upon seeing Jabari, tears brimmed in James’ eyes.Many years had passed in the blink of an eye. When he was searching around for the Ancestral God Rank Elixir’s whereabouts in the Boundless Realm, he was still an insignificant nobody. It was Jabari who offered him guidance and a helping hand time and again. Even when Jabari perished, he was still weak. He could never forget the scene when Jabari performed Blossoming and sacrificed himself to complete the Sacred Blossom and gravely injured the Heaven’s Adjudicator.“Jabari… Master…” James said.Jabari was a master to James. Even though James’ rank had far surpassed Jabari, he would still be a nobody if not for Jabari. Not only was Jabari his master, but he was also his friend.“I never thought I’d
There were some differences between the living beings of the Dark World and the Illuminated World. The moment a living being of the Illuminated World stepped into the Dark World, his presence would immediately be detected. This meant that the living beings of the Illuminated World would have a tough time moving around in the Dark World.“What happened?” Jabari asked puzzledly.James fell into deep contemplation. After some time, he said, “Back then, you sacrificed yourself and performed Blossoming the Forbidden Art…”James began to narrate the past events — from Jabari’s death, the Fourth Calamity on Earth, Thea becoming the Ancestral God Rank Elixir, resolving the crisis of the Fourth Calamity, using the Time Capsule to return to the Primeval Age in search of Thea, the creation of the Thirteenth Universe, his death in the Thirteenth Universe, his cultivation of Chaos, his return to this age, his journey to the First Universe, his encounter with Sienna Callahan, and him teaching the
James looked at Jabari.Jabari arranged his thoughts and said, “This is a long story. So let us begin from the very beginning.”“Mhm.” James nodded.Even Xulia was staring at Jabari. Though she had known Jabari for a very long time now, she did not know that Jabari had been keeping such a secret from her.“We will begin with the Greater Realms.”“The Greater Realms?” James froze.“Yes.” Jabari said, “The so-called Greater Realms refer to the world outside the Dark World. A long time ago, the Dark World was not the Dark World as we know of today. Rather, it is but one of many worlds in the Greater Realms. Legend has it that there’s an Acme Path in the depths of an unknown region in the Dark World. That is not fiction. That path leads to the Greater Realms. However, many events occurred that led to the closure of the path. This caused the Dark World to be isolated from the Greater Realms, and thus a separate space was born.”“Hold on.” James interrupted Jabari and asked, “Since th
“In the beginning, the living beings of the Primordial Realm were almost completely unable to cultivate anymore. It was Yukia who created a brand-new cultivation system. Besides, Yukia sowed forty-nine Universe Seeds in the Chaos so that the human race would once have a new environment. The Universe Seeds transformed into brand-new universes. As the power of Heaven and Earth of this universe was free from contamination, a new environment was created for the Human Race and even the living beings of other races in the Primordial Realm.”James furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “This means that the current Dark World has been contaminated by foreign malevolent energy. Does this contamination have any effect on the living beings in the Dark World? I didn’t notice anything amiss, nor did I see any evidence that the malevolent energy have any effect on the living beings of the Dark World.”Jabari explained, “That’s because the living beings of the Primordial Realm have gotten used to the pow
After learning about this, everything was suddenly clear now. Since the Dark World was contaminated and the Greater Realms had annihilated all powerful figures of the Primordial Realm, the possibility exists that there were spies among them. Once these spies spotted beings that could threaten the Greater Realms, these beings would be annihilated. This explained the war back then. News of the Acme Path’s reopening must have spread from the spies to ensure the complete destruction of any potential threat. Upon hearing whispers of this conspiracy, Yukia stepped forward and stopped these beings. Doubtful of Yukia’s intentions, they fought against her and were eradicated in the end.However, James believed that Yukia was alive. Otherwise, she would not have been able to guide him from the shadows.“Where is Yukia at the moment?’ James asked.Jabari shook his head and said, “I don’t know. When I learned about this, I have been steadfast in searching for her. She’s too helpless and lonely
The Thea who was an avatar of Yukia reincarnated once more to a time where even James did not know. Perhaps this avatar did not reincarnate but rather returned to Yukia’s original self.“Just who exactly is my wife?” James was at a loss.Was the Thea transformed into an Ancestral God Rank Elixir his wife or the one who existed in the Primeval Age’s Twelfth Universe? The Ancestral God Rank Elixir was the remnant of the Thea who existed in the Primeval Age’s Twelfth Universe. Meanwhile, the Thea who existed in the Primeval Age’s Twelfth Universe was the remnant of Yukia Dearnaley’s soul. Yukia, on the other hand, was the reincarnation of a powerful individual of the Primordial Realm.James was dumbfounded. So this was the truth all along. Jabari was feeling awkward as well. Ever since learning about this, he still found this to accept. He never thought that Yukia, the woman whom he was infatuated with, would be Thea’s past life. Fortunately, he encountered Xulia in the Dark World. H
Upon learning the truth, James was now motivated.Jabari, on the other hand, knew everything long ago. Back then when he was in the Dark World’s palace, he used the Guqin left behind by Yukia and learned about these matters. That was why he asked James to take the Guqin away. Since this belonged to James’ wife, the item should technically belong to James. Meanwhile, James’ Celestial Abode was given to him by Yukia. After revealing the whole truth, Jabari breathed a sigh of relief as well. These secrets had been buried deep inside him for a very long time. He was waiting for James to emerge as a force to be reckoned with so that he could tell him everything. Based on his calculations, he planned to head to the Twelfth Universe to search for James after the Dark World had become stronger. However, something unexpected happened, and he was forced to enter the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone and was imprisoned on this island.James scanned his surroundings and asked, “Jabari, how much do
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
