His fist struck the illusory palmprint.James thought he could break Sigmund’s attack with just the Five Great Paths.However, he was wrong.He had underestimated Sigmund.As a Quasi Acmean, even Sigmund’s casual attack was frightening. Besides, he was striking James with all his might. As magical as the Five Great Paths’ power was, it did not surpass the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank. Compared to Sigmund, there was a huge power disparity.The illusory palmprint broke his attack and struck his body. Immediately, he was sent flying by a powerful force. At the same time, the void behind him collapsed. After staggered backward for a few light-years, he managed to dissolve Sigmund’s attack. Though Sigmund was strong, his attacks could not harm him. That was because his Omniscience Path was already at the Seventh Stage, and his physical strength had reached the Quasi Acme Rank.As he took a step forward, he appeared before Sigmund.At that moment, he catalyzed the power of
James’ expression was composed as he said nonchalantly, “I’m not interested in joining the Dooms, nor do I need the Dooms’ resources.”Wynnstand smiled and said, “Do you know what you’ve just said, Forty-nine? Turning down my offer means that you have lost the right to become a powerful individual.”James glanced at him and said, “Not interested.”“Hmph, think you are so great and mighty, huh!” Wynnstan grunted coldly.“Alright now, stop bickering already.” Leilani stepped forward and said, “We all came to the Desolate Grand Canyon to find out what’s inside and not to fight.”Hearing this, Xhafer of the Ghost Race asked, “What do you have in mind, Your Highness?”Gruffudd of the Skeleton Race also looked at Leilani, who looked at James. James nodded slightly at her.Seeing this, she said, “Based on our original plans, we plan to act with caution. So, we will be waiting here until Forty-nine comprehends the Formation Inscription of the Desolate Grand Canyon. Once we have a certai
Then, James took out some of the shards he had obtained previously.He had mastered the Greater Paths, and he could dissolve any Path or inscription into their most original form. Then, he would perform them from their fundamentals into their most profound.The inscription sigils before him flickered. These sigils were incomplete. Even so, they contained the power to annihilate a Macrocosm Ancestral God.James stared at the inscription sigils as they changed in front of his eyes. In the end, they became the most fundamental form of inscription sigils. However, he had never seen such inscriptions before. Even though Soren Plamen had taught him some of the most profound formation inscriptions, he could not comprehend the ones before him. However, he should be able to comprehend them as long as he puts in the effort.James sat on a rock and began comprehending the most ancient sigil of all. Each second, there would be millions upon millions of changes. James, on the other hand, rememb
James used his Divine Sense to scan Planet Desolation. He realized that there were many formations in the interior. Through these formations, he was able to extrapolate many things. In the distant past, there was once a powerful individual who establish his base camp on the planet and set up many layers of formations. However, after the war, all of them had been destroyed. Even so, their power was frightening. Besides, there were many regions that eluded his Divine Sense in the interior of Planet Desolation, especially the central region of the fissure. The moment his Divine Sense appeared in the central region, it was immediately devoured and eaten up. James furrowed his eyebrows.Planet Desolation was simply too mysterious.He was wondering if he should search for the Soulblues or go on an adventure inside Planet Desolation. According to the Heaven-Eradicating Sect’s intelligence, Soulblues had been spotted in a region near Planet Desolation by someone. The place where the person
“Welcome to Planet Desolation and to the arena where you will fight to your death.”“From now onward, the formation of Planet Desolation will gradually shrink toward the central region. Anyone contaminated by the formation will instantly die no matter your cultivation base. To survive, you will have to head to the center of the planet. Each of you will have a thousand years of lifespan. A thousand years from now, all of you will be eradicated by the formation. To survive, you will have to annihilate the other living beings on the planet. Killing one person would gain you an additional three thousand years of lifespan. Those who survive till the end will obtain a huge providence.”…A voice came from the sky.Upon hearing this, James froze.‘What’s going on?’He calmed down and contemplated. From these words, there seemed to be a powerful individual on Planet Desolation that ruled over everything. Providence… What providence?James was puzzled.At that moment, the voice continue
James had comprehended the formation inscription after entering a closed-door meditation for millions of years. Over the past millions of years, news of the incident at the Desolate Grand Canyon had spread throughout the Greater Realms. Many living beings from all races, no matter weak or strong, came here to watch the show. In the beginning, Planet Desolation, and even its surrounding regions, were full of dangers. However, none of them encountered any danger upon entering the planet.This puzzled them. It was different from the rumors. Now, however, they knew that there was a powerful individual pulling the strings behind the scenes to lure more and more people to Planet Desolation. That was the only way to pull off the death match.The rules were simple. Each living being on Planet Desolation would have a lifespan of 3000 years. Throughout the 3000 years that they had, they would gain an additional 3000 years of lifespan by killing a living being. Otherwise, they would be eradicat
Besides, they could see that the formation was slowly and gradually moving toward the central region. Though the speed was moderate, the formation would rhea the center of the Desolate Grand Canyon in a million years.“Is this for real?”“People are really getting killed by the formation?”At that moment, many began to panic. Some soared to the sky and tried to leave this place. However, just as they were about to leave Planet Desolation, they came into contact with the formation and immediately disintegrated into nothingness. Upon seeing this, the faces of many people turned pale. James’ expression turned grim as well.“Looks like this is for real. I will have to expect the worst,” he murmured.He had been planning for the worst-case scenario. That was because he did not know who entered Planet Desolation and whether there were any Acmeans among them over the past millions of years. If there were, it would be difficult for the others to survive.“This is not a game, folks.”T
James concealed himself in the shadows and watched the battle unfold between twenty living beings. Then, he performed Blossoming and summoned the Sacred Blossom. As the Sacred Blossom’s power spread, the living beings below were instantly decimated. After annihilating those people, James could sense some changes inside his body. As he carefully scrutinized his body, he could not find anything out of the ordinary.He furrowed his eyebrows.Though there were anomalies inside his body, he could not sense them. It was illogical. His cultivation base had reached the pinnacle of cultivation. Yet, the voice pulling the strings behind the scenes was able to tamper with his body. This meant that the living being’s cultivation was even beyond his.As James could not understand what was going on, he put those thoughts aside for now. The only he needed to do was to survive. Only by surviving can he understand the truth of everything, including the identity of the voice.The cultivation world
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
