A million years of agony and persistence… Who else apart from James could have put up with it? Naturally, James’ success was beyond their anticipation.Stretching his joints, James looked at the bird, Yahveh, Jehudi, and Yehosheva, and said, “This isn’t considered a success. I have merely reactivated the potential of my physical body and its vitality. I’ve yet to reach the Fifth Stage of the Omniscience Path.“”You’ve really got something, youngster.” The bird no longer took heed of the Light of Acme. It flew rapidly towards James and stabbed James’ face with its pointed beak.James grabbed its tail and thrust the bird somewhere far away. The bird absorbed the impact by turning around in a circular motion before flying back to James. It could not suppress its ecstasy as it chuckled, “Haha, now that you’ve reactivated the potential that was cut off prior to this, it’s not difficult to step into the Fifth Stage of the Omniscience Path. What’re you waiting for, youngster? Cultivate n
James’ own power was activated. He reached the Fourth Stage of the Omniscience Path, allowing his aura to rise. His body’s vitality strengthened within an instant. He sat on the ground in a lotus position, beginning to use his own potential, zest, and vitality to nourish and bolster his physical body so that he could reach the Fifth Stage. The Omniscience Path was a unique Combat Form that required the stimulation of external forces and battle.“Attack me.” James stood up immediately, looking at the bird, Yahveh, Jehudi, and Yehosheva.The four of them had little hesitation and started appearing around James, attacking him.James did not deploy any Paths and purely used his physical power. As for his aggressors, they had complete control over their energies.In the old battlefield of the seventeenth space, James’ body emanated a white light. His aura spilled over and formed a mystical territory. Within this territory, he was God and he controlled everything.Other people’s attacks
The little bird held out for a while, and its entire body was soon covered in wounds. So, it flew away to heal its injuries.After it recovered, it flew back.It continued doing so several more times. When the bird could not bear it any longer, it flew far away and cried out, “I’m done. It’s too difficult and tormenting. I’ll think of another way to enter the Acme Rank.”Several trials later, the little bird decided to give up.Meanwhile, James only smiled faintly.He sat on the ground with his legs crossed, and a colorful beam floated at the top of his head. The beam was the Light of Acme.Then, using the cultivation method, he made the Light of Acme above his head shine more brightly. The colorful light poured down on James and enveloped him. At the same time, James began to absorb the power of the Light of Acme.“This brat...” Located far away, the little bird could not help but curse, “I can’t believe he’s absorbing and refining the Light of Acme. Perhaps only he can do this
In the past, there was no hope of leaving. Thus, the three people trapped at the Seventeenth Level were unmotivated to cultivate. Now that there was a chance for them to leave, they wanted to cultivate.James put all his attention on absorbing and refining the Light of Acme. He spread the power of the Light of Acme to his limbs and bones, strengthening and honing his body.As for the other three, they were focusing on their cultivation.Even Yehosheva, who had reached the Ninth Stage Lord Rank, was not resting. Though she had reached the Ninth Stage Lord Rank, she did not reach the extreme.Among them, only the little bird was doing nothing. Laying on its stomach in a room, the bird lazily watched James cultivate.Going from the Fift Stage Omniscience Path to the Sixth Stage was too difficult.James' body was already strong. It was tough to improve his strength again. Even if he used the Light of Acme to hone his body, it would be incredibly slow. Based on the cultivation speed,
James instantly entered the Omniscience Path’s Fifth Stage . His aura had reached the extreme.Aside from that, after entering the Fifth Stage, all aspects of his body had improved. Upon receiving the attacks from several powerhouses, he could dodge the attacks at critical moments.This was the Omniscience Path, the Battle Rank. His body had formed a self-reaction. He could dodge critical attacks automatically.Nonetheless, it was not James’ aim. He wanted to use this battle to hone his body and enter the Sixth Stage Omniscience Path.“Everyone, don’t hold back. Use all your means,” James spoke up again.After hearing James’ words, everyone no longer held back and exerted their full strength.Everyone present was a Ninth-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God and a Ninth Stage Lord. Among them, the little bird even reached the extreme in the Ninth-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank. It could enter the Acme Rank at any time. It was terrifying with all of them attacking together.If James
James, who had entered the Sixth Stage of the Omniscience Path, was too powerful. His aura had reached the aura of a Ninth-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God.Even the magnetic field formed by his aura was frightening. It could block the attacks of a Ninth Stage Lord. In fact, it could rebound the attacks. However, it only worked under the circumstances where the Ninth Stage Lord was careless.If they weren’t careless, they could still attack James.James stretched his body.He could sense an exploding power in his limbs and bones. At present, he could fight with the Ninth-Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods with only his physical power.He withdrew his aura.The people surrounding him quickly appeared.Yahveh smiled happily. “We have been stuck here for a long time. We can finally leave.”Everyone else was also delighted.On the other hand, the little bird looked at James and mumbled, “What a strange person.”James was also happy.After cultivating for a long time, he finally reached
When the shadows walked out of the palace, they changed into warriors wearing black armor. The ten warriors knelt on the ground at the same time and said, “Greetings, Master.”James was bewildered by the scene.Looking at the warriors kneeling on the ground, James asked, “What’s going on?”One of the warriors at the front responded, “You have completed the test and reached the Eighteenth Level. According to the rules set by the previous master, you’re the new master of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.”“Huh?” James was slightly taken aback. He then said, “Please stand up first.”“Yes, Master.”The warriors stood up.Before James could ask them questions, the little bird flew to the front and stood on James’ shoulder. It looked at the warriors before James with a serious expression and asked, “What’s this Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone? When was it left behind?”A warrior at the front answered, “The Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone has existed since the Primordial Realm. The Ma
After James entered the main hall, the door to the main hall closed.The main hall was vast and empty.Ahead of James was a seat.Scanning his surroundings, James did not find anything special about the main hall.At this moment, a faint shadow appeared on the seat in the main hall. The shadow gradually materialized. In the end, it became a burly man.The man was taller than an average human. He was nearly three meters tall. He wore a grey robe, and his aura was strong. Even James could sense an invisible pressure from him.James stared at the man who had just shown himself.James knew that the shadow was formed by Zen and that the person had died during the Primordial Realm Era.“You’ve finally come,” the burly man spoke in a loud voice.Looking at him, James knew that he was Master Mateo, the true master of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone during the Primordial Realm Era. He might be one of the fifty powerhouses in the Primordial Realm.James greeted the man before him re
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
