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 battle between races was cruel.Master Mateo did not want to recall the details of it.However, it was a disgrace to the Human Race, and the Human Race should not forget about it. They needed to remember it.“The Primordial Realm was one of the Greater Realms. At the same time, it was the most dazzling realm among the Greater Realms. The reproduction of the Human Race was too strong. The size of the Human Race also expanded in the Greater Realms. The Human Race even invaded other races and married other races. This caused the bloodline of the other races to be impure.“If it continued, the Human Race would become the true master of the Greater Realms one day.“Nonetheless, this was something several races did not want to see.“Thus, the Ten Great Races formed an alliance and held a secret meeting. In the meeting, the Ten Great Races reached a consensus, which was to take action against the Human Race.“The Ten Great Races allied with other races and began suppressing the Hum
James had a rough understanding of the details of the battle in the Primordial Realm.He also learned due to the powerhouses of the Human Race during the Primordial Realm Era’s sacrifice, the twelve universes of the outside world were born.“Now that the Human Race has a successor, I can rest in peace.”Master Mateo looked at James and reminded, “The Primordial Realm has been contaminated by an evil power. It’s no longer suitable for cultivation. Even if you managed to cultivate, you wouldn’t be able to enter the Acme Rank. You need to create a new realm. To do so, you have to work hard. In the Primordial Realm, there are spies from other races. So, you have to watch out. Before the realm rise, you can’t be exposed. Once the spies spread the information, the powerhouses of other races will come again. It will be a catastrophe for you.”“I understand.” James nodded.However, he had already exposed himself. The power he showed was not strong, though, so the powerhouses of other race
Outside the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, James stared at the zone ahead and felt sad.Jabari asked, “What are you going to do next?”James responded, “My purpose for coming to the Dark World this time has been achieved. I want to leave the Dark World as soon as possible and go to the time of the outside world. I want to enter the Chaos and find the rest of the Universe Seeds to urge the birth of the universe. Lastly, I will consolidate all universes and birth a realm as strong as the Primordial Realm.”“I’m going with you,” said Jabari.After glancing at Jabari, James looked at Xulia, who was next to Jabari, and said, “You should bring her back to the Xaadsans. Let’s talk about this after the affairs of the Xaadsans have been dealt with.”“Got it.” Jabari’s face darkened as he said coldly, “It’s time to deal with these grudges.”Hearing that, Xulia could not help but tug Jabari’s arm.Jabari’s expression returned to normal, and he said, “I’ll head to the Xaadsan Residence the
On the battlefield of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, there was a monster.The monster was a cow. As for what kind of cow it was, James had no idea.The ability of the monster was extremely frightening. It had reached the extreme of Ninth Stage Lord Rank. Even Morangorin feared it. Morangorin could only run away from it.James found many secrets from the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone. He had many things to do next. He needed a strong helper. If he could sober up the cow, it would be a great help to him.He pondered for a moment. He was thinking of a way to help the cow recover.When he had an idea, he entered the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone again.Since he had become the master of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, the entire Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone was under his control. Any danger in the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone was not a danger to him.With ease, he arrived at the ancient battlefield.On the battlefield, the large Divine Cow was raging and letting out
However, the Sigil Formation James cast was profound and well fortified. Although the Divine Cow possessed the mighty strength of a Ninth Stage Lord, he could not break free.The Divine Cow was furious and struggled wildly in a bid to escape. A powerful burst of energy erupted from his body. The formation that James had set up began to fall apart.“Such power! This guy isn’t going down without a fight,” James grunted. He kept backing away and continued strengthening the formation. One layer multiplied into 10,000 layers in a mere moment.James had instantly set up a Sigil Formation with 10,000 layers. Although the Divine Cow was powerful, he could not escape the ten-thousand-layered Sigil Formation.James hovered outside the formation, paying close attention to the Divine Cow. He released some of his Zen into the formation and used it to thoroughly scrutinize the Divine Cow. Shortly after, information about the Divine Cow appeared in his mind. James could sense strange energy insi
The Divine Cow was exhausted.In the past, he was the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone’s mountain guardian, who had very high cultivation attainments and was on the cusp of reaching the Acme Rank. He was lucky enough to survive the battle during the Primordial Realm Era.However, he was overtaken by a strange power, and his mind was corrupted. Now that the power was removed from his body, he had come back to his senses. He was both physically and mentally exhausted. As the dust settled, he fell to the ground to rest, not even wanting to move a muscle.James dispersed the Sigil Formation and walked toward the cow. His opponent had shown great strength at the beginning of the fight, but his aura and vitality were feeble now. James walked over and a gentle light glowed from his palm. The light contained Life Power.Life Power submerged into the cow’s body and quickly rejuvenated him, restoring his energy fully. He stood up from the ground, looked at James, and said, “Thank you, Master.”
Sienna and Xerxes were well aware of the Dark World’s rules and knew that they had to offer tributes to the Nine Heavens to secure their reign over the Malevolent Land. Thus, they sent many treasures and resources to the Nine Heavens to sustain the Malevolent Land’s stability. Unfortunately, several forces in the Nine Heavens refused to grant them the peace they desired.Sienna sat in the highest seat in the main hall of Mount Malevolent Moon, wearing a black dress. Her face was solemn. Meanwhile, Xerxes stood beside her like a bodyguard.“It’s best to surrender, Lord Sienna.”“I agree. Thaine Machula is too powerful. He’s a Ninth Stage Lord, with many followers in the same stage. Moreover, he also has a considerable amount of Lords at his command. How would we resist him?”“I suggest we give in to their demands. There’s no shame in surrendering in the Dark World. If we submit to Thaine, we’ll be inducted into his forces and it’ll benefit our development in the Dark World.”The Lo
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
