James could not let his guard down. Before he could confirm the other side’s identity, he could not act recklessly. He asked once more, “Since you say that you have reached the pinnacle of the Omniscience Path, your physical body is indestructible, your physical strength is unparalleled, and you have mastered unrivaled Supernatural Powers, you should be very terrifying. So why are you trapped here?’A sigh came from inside the formation.“When I was born long ago, the Human Race was not strong in general. It was my appearance that led to the emergence of the Human Race. I came out of the Primordial Realm and arrived at the Greater Realms. With my cultivation base, which is the pinnacle of the Omniscience Path’s Ninth Stage, my fame spread far and wide throughout the Greater Realms, and I become one of the ten strongest individuals here. None of them could defeat me in one-to-one combat. However, as they weren’t pushovers either, I couldn’t completely annihilate them either.“Back
“Seizing by force is of course not gonna work, you can take it by ruse, however,” the living being in the formation suggested to James.“How about you give me the Blithe Omniscience? Only by strengthening my abilities can I help you more efficiently, get the key to open up the formation, and free you.” James started to make a bargain.“Impossible,” the living being in the formation immediately rejected the deal, saying, “There’s the power of the Doom Race in you. You might be one of them. I can’t trust you. If you bring the keys and free me, I promise you that I will give you the Blithe Omniscience regardless of your race. Your potential is infinite, so you’ll definitely make it further in the Omniscience Path. Add the Blithe Omniscience to that and there’s no question that you’ll have a seat among the Greater Realms' Ten Great Races.”The powerful figure in the formation had his concerns. He was worried that James was someone sent by other races, sent on purpose to scam him of the
The core of the formation was situated at the center of the plains. The formation here left Soren helpless. While the outer formation acted only as a supplement, it was not something James could resist. Soren started giving pointers to James. James sat in a lotus position before the core formation, wanting to comprehend and sense it.Under Soren’s guidance, he very quickly understood the mechanisms of the outer formation. He cultivated seriously for a long time within the Time formation. But in the outer realm, only 500 years had passed.After 500 years, James stood up and said, “I’ve understood it fully. Now, I can open up the outer formation silently and leave. But before I do so, I still want the Blithe Omniscience.”James was hungry for the Blithe Omniscience. This was a supernatural art that complemented the Omniscience Path. Once mastered, his combat power would increase exponentially.“No way,” Soren rejected the request. If the Omniscience Path was what James only had, So
With his cultivation base, it would be a difficult task for the Cloud Race to sense him if he did not show up. For now, he must find out where the keys guarded by the Cloud Race were and steal them away without anyone realizing.He entered the spiritual mountains where the Cloud Race was. The center of the mountains was made of tens of thousands of spiritual mountains. Each of them was extremely wide, as each mountain was separated by a few light years.The entire base camp of the Cloud Race was as big as three thousand light years.James unleashed his Divine Sense. However, there were a number of Formations set up within the Cloud. Some of them were so complex and lay beyond his Senses. With his power, he could forcefully barge through some Formation barriers. However, this would risk exposing him to the Cloud Race before he found the key.He arrived unknowingly at the spiritual mountain that was near the central area. James was still wary of stepping into the center because that
Yente Yiskah was brought elsewhere to recover. The Sect Leader of the Cloud Race and its Elders left as well, reverting the hall into its previous silent state.James took in all of this in the dark. From this incident, he understood that the Cloud Race was facing some troubles, causing a number of them to bear injuries. Only a handful of them like the Sect Leader and the core Elders were not involved in the battle. If they participated, that could only mean that the survival of the Cloud Race was at stake.James thought long and hard as to how to find the whereabouts of the keys. Yente’s position within Mount Ethereal must be rather high. Now that she was injured, it would be the best opportunity for him to acquire some essential information from her.With this thought in mind, James left silently.Yente’s space for recovery was a hidden chamber within Mount Ethereal, a house made of stones. There were some mystical inscriptions and characters engraved on the walls of the stone ho
Once James launched his move, Yente already sensed the Dooms’ Chaos Power. Yet, she chose to keep silent.Her expression was serious as she interrogated James, “Who are you exactly? This is the base camp of the Cloud Race. How did you get in?”James took a glance at her and smirked. Then, a powerful force materialized in his palm as he raised his hand. This caused Yente, who was lying on the floor, to float upwards into the air and then immediately formed a lotus position on the ground.James could sense the injuries within her. With a wave of his hand, a powerful life force entered her body, temporarily halting the dissipation of her life.Since Yente’s injuries were worsening rapidly without the ability to suppress her injuries, James had to do something. His goal was not to murder her but to get some crucial information.Yente’s glare at James was deadly. James then sat down before her and asked her smilingly, “At this point, you must be wondering — Who am I? Why am I at the
From Yente’s perspective, James’ appearance was to inquire into the capabilities of the Cloud Race. But in actual fact, he was here to show off Chaos Power. He knew that a powerful figure of the Cloud Race would recognize Chaos Power, so he was here to pass off as a Doom.“You’re here for the key?” Yente looked at James. James replied, “The Cloud Race is no longer one of the Ten Great Races, so you’re no longer legitimate to guard the key. If the key falls into the hands of other races, and they free the frightening person within the Formation, this will be a threat to all of us. I’ve come here with orders to gauge the Cloud Race’s capabilities. If the Cloud Race can resist the Bug Race’s attack, I’ll let the key remain in your custody. Otherwise, before the Cloud Race’s base camp is completely taken over, you must hand over the key to us.” James was deceiving his way through. He knew nothing about the Ten Great Races. He also did not know why Soren was trapped in the Cloud Race’s
The Great Elder of the Dooms, Youri Dalibor, was a powerful figure who had lived for a very long time. Many powerful figures died under his hand during the war of the Primordial Realm. After James made up his mind to impersonate Youri, he began to ask around for descriptions of Youri’s looks, appearance, and habits.He got his answers after spending some time. The problem was that these were mainly based on rumors, so he had very few details. It would not be too hard, however, to paralyze the Cloud Race who was already under the Bug Race’s attack.As James was asking around, casualties continued to build up among the Cloud Race. Some feeble disciples even died on the spot. Only some 10,000 years had passed and the Cloud Race had already sustained a huge loss.At the current moment, the Bug Race had already reached the mountain’s entrance to the Cloud Race. The Cloud Race activated a Formation, wanting to use it to struggle against the Bug Race.Pretending to be Youri, James stood s
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
