James cautiously asked, “Respected elder, is there a way to unlock the seal of the Dark World, once known as Primordial Realm? I could clandestinely explore the Greater Realms and the Eternal Clan to see if I can manage to steal the Eternal Light.”“It’s futile,” the Ursa replied, subtly shaking his head. “This seal was forged through the collaboration of the Ten Great Races’ Overworld Outsiders. It is not easily broken. If it could be removed, I would have left long ago. Why would I remain in this world?“Oh,” James responded softly. His worries significantly diminished upon hearing the news. The seal was impenetrable, so the living beings of the Dark World were unable to escape, and the Overworld Outsiders of Greater Realms could not come either.In other words, his current enemies consisted only of the Ursas who were standing before him, along with the Watchers lurking in the shadows. The identities of these Watchers and whether any of them were Acmean remained a mystery.It
Everyone in Mount Thea’s main hall looked at James.Jabari was the first to speak up, asking, “During your encounter with the Ursa, you could sense his aura at close range, right? Did you manage to gauge his strength?”James nodded lightly and said, “Yeah. I actually withstood an attack from him. I urged all of my Chaos Power but was still injured. That’s enough to show how strong he is. However, I didn’t use the Omniscience Path. If I did, I might’ve been able to defend against the attack without sustaining any injuries. We’ll proceed with our previous plan. We need to set up a formation to trap him in the Chaos, then it should be easy for us to kill him together.”After having the chance to analyze the Ursa’s strength, James was confident. The brief conversation was enough for him to conclude the Ursa was not on the side of the Human Race, nor was he helping Yukia.He was injured during the battle in the Primordial Realm Era, and his passage back to the Greater Realms was seale
In the blink of an eye, these inscriptions spread out before James like the countless stars in the vast universe. James waved his hand and dispersed the inscription sigils, which entered the surrounding Chaos Space.A Formation was formed. This Formation was enough to trap a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God. Even a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God would not be able to break the Formation no matter how hard he tried unless he mastered the Formation Path and his comprehension of the Formation reached the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank.After setting up the first Formation, James continued setting up other Formations. Faced with an Acmean, he could not let his guard down. He continued setting up Formations in the Chaos Space and merged them into one, forming a convoluted and intertwined Superformation.He remained in the Chaos Space for 3 million years. During that period, he set up a terrifying Multilayered Formation with billions upon billions of layers. Even a Nine-Po
The Omnipotent Lord thought he had James under his control. However, ever since James joined the Ancestral Holy Site and became a Protector, he grew increasingly mysterious. A notable event was when he blocked the attack of a powerful individual of the Ursa Race then mysteriously disappeared for millions of years. His behavior caused the Omnipotent Lord to be extra cautious of him.He returned to Mount Ancestre’s main hall.“Shadow,” he called out.“My Lord.”A shadow appeared out of nowhere and knelt on one knee.“I want you to watch James closely. Report to me if he does anything unusual,” He ordered.“Understood,” The shadow said before disappearing without a trace.Shadow was the Omnipotent Lord’s confidant. His real name was unknown, and he cultivated the unique Hidden Path. Though his strength was ordinary, his hidden ability was terrifying. If he concealed his presence, not even a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God could sense him.The Omnipotent Lord sent Shadow after J
He ventured far away from the universe and headed deep into the Chaos. Then, he sat in a lotus position in the void. There were no directions or coordinates in the Chaos.As James sat in the void, he contemplated what sort of treasure he should refine. There were many Chaotic Treasures in the Celestial Abode. Some of them were acquired in the Twelfth Universe, while the others were obtained in the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.As his mind stirred, a few Chaotic Treasures appeared.Among them was the Demon-Slayer Sword that hovered before him. The sword was black, and its tip was slightly bent. It radiated a black glimmer and exuded a mysterious power. The Demon-Slayer Sword originated in the Dark World and was obtained by the Callahans. In the end, Thea gave the sword to him. Though the sword was not a top-notch Chaotic Treasure, it was of momentous significance to James.He did not want to give up the sword. Then, an idea flashed through his mind. He would first refine a Divin
Chaotic Treasures were incredibly terrifying, so much so that even a Macrocosm Ancestral God could not destroy them. However, James’ current rank greatly surpassed that of a Macrocosm Ancestral God. He had reached the pinnacle of the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank and was close to reaching the Acme Rank.He used his Chaos Power, transformed them into Chaos Fire, and dissolved the Chaotic Treasures. As the Chaotic Treasures dissolved, they turned into a liquid. This liquid contained such terrifying power that even a single drop of it would destroy the Chaos Space.James controlled these powers and prevented them from escaping. Even so, the surrounding Chaos Space became illusory and distorted.‘Merge!’James’ mind stirred.The liquid began to consolidate into one. Throughout the process, James imbued the power of various Paths into the liquid. Every power of the Path could perform a Nine-Power Macrocosm Power.The Demon-Slayer Sword’s exterior slowly came into being. When
The 108 Infinity Steles materialized, and James set up a Time Formation in the Chaos Space and began refining them. The Infinity Steles were powerful, and each of them possessed devastating power. Now, James wanted to refine them once more by adding a mysterious material into each of them to increase their weight. That way, after the Infinity Steles dispersed and formed the Boundless Pagoda, they would be more terrifying.In the main hall of Mount Ancestre’s Ancestral Holy Site, the Omnipotent Lord was sitting on his throne. Below him was a shadow.The shadow spoke in a hoarse voice, “My Lord, I have been following James all this while. As I was afraid of exposing myself, I kept a safe distance from him. I saw him heading to the Chaos’ depths and refining a powerful weapon. The turbulence that came from the Chaos came from the Divine Weapon he was refining.”The shadow told the Omnipotent Lord everything he saw. His tracking skills were unparalleled. As he had concealed his pr
Tens of millions of years had passed since James left. Over the past millions of years, Quiomars Boswell, Morangorin Yombeen, Jabari, Xulia Xaadsan, Yehosheva Bernadette, Yahveh Zvonimir, Jehudi Driscoll, and many others had been waiting on Mount Thea. They had prepared all sorts of Holy Potions for emergencies so that even a wounded fighter on the verge of death could be saved in the shortest amount of time possible. They regulated their conditions on Mount Thea to the maximum in preparation for battle. At the same time, they watched the Ursa Race’s powerful individual’s every move.Swoosh!Suddenly, a light appeared.James was here. There was only a single person in the main hall—Xulia. She was sitting in the main hall, observing the stone chamber of the Ursa Race’s powerful individual through the illusory image.The moment James appeared, she immediately stood up. “You’re back, James.”“Mhm.” James nodded slightly.At that moment, others immediately appeared upon sensing his p
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
