James looked below. In the end, his gaze landed on a broken formation.Stepping into the void, he walked down and appeared outside the formation. He focused on it.The formation was profound. Even though it was a broken formation, it had the power to destroy the world. Even if a Quasi Acmean were trapped in it, he would be killed instantly by its power.Nevertheless, James had learned the Planet Desolation Formation Inscription. He had understood the most primitive form of it.No matter how profound a formation was, it was deduced from the most primitive inscription. Now, he only needed some time to break the formation.“How is it? Can you break the formation?”While James was staring at the formation, a voice came from behind. He did not need to look back to know it was Wotan.Wotan hurried over and appeared before James. Standing side by side, he looked at the formation in front of him. Unfortunately, the formation was too profound for him to understand.Looking at the format
James did not mind allying with Wotan because he wanted to ally with the latter too.However, before they allied, they needed to discuss how to divide the treasures.“Let’s discuss how to divide the treasures first.” Looking at Wotan, James said, “It isn’t that I don’t believe you, but it’s better for the both of us this way.”“How about splitting evenly?” Thinking for a while, Wotan said, “After the treasures appear, let’s take what we need fairly.”James slightly shook his head and said, “No.”“What do you want then?”James responded, “I broke the formation, and I’m confident I can break any formations in Planet Desolation. So, splitting evenly is unfair to me. I should take more of it and choose the things first.”Wotan was indeed strong, but in James’ eyes right now he was a mere fighter.Hearing that, Wotan fell into deep thought. After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and said, “Alright. I agree to this.”“Let's have a pleasant collaboration.” James smiled.“Hurry
Besides, Soren also taught James several difficult formation inscriptions too.James and Wotan traveled Planet Desolation continuously. They appeared in the ancient ruins one after another. Each time they appeared in an ancient ruin, James would use some time to break the formation.In the blink of an eye, they had searched tens of ancient ruins and breaking tens of formations. However, there was nothing in the formations. There was not even a decent elixir, let alone the Palace of Compassion.“There are many living beings up ahead.”At the top of a mountain, Wotan looked below, and under his senses, he sensed a powerful formation in the depth of the mountain where many living beings gathered.These living beings were powerhouses, including Princess Leilani of the Angel Race, Wynnstan of the Doom Race, and Sigmund of the Devil Race.James met all of them before, but there were a few that he had never met. Although he never met them before, he knew they were in the Quasi Acme Rank
Wotan mentioned Soren.James’ Omniscience Path was powerful. If he could obtain the Blithe Omniscience from Soren’s hands, he would become stronger.He wanted to obtain the Human Race’s signature skill, Blithe Omniscience. After cultivating the Blithe Omniscience, in addition to his Omniscience Path, his ability would improve.Unfortunately, Soren was very cautious. It was tough to obtain the Blithe Omniscience from him.Appearing in this mountain range, James and Wotan watched the living beings in the depth of the mountain range.“Let’s go. There’s nothing to worry about.” Wotan said, “If anything happens, we can face it together. Now, the free-for-all battle royale has begun. The living beings of Planet Desolation won’t be of one mind.”James was not afraid. He was only worried that after teaming up with Wotan in the interest of benefits, Wotan would later betray him.If Wotan was with James, James would not need to fear other powerhouses.With Wotan’s words, James was reassu
Leilani mumbled to herself.If James could break the formation, following James would give her a higher chance of obtaining the Compassionate Path Master’s inheritance.An Acmean’s inheritrance was terrifying. Even if it was divided into many parts, it was comparable to all the foundations of a super race in the Greater Realms.For a while, Leilana’s expression was grave. She was thinking of ways to ally with James. Looking around the place, she looked at the people around her and then at Wotan. After weighing the pros and cons, she walked over to Wotan and appeared before him.Wotan glanced at her with a calm expression as he asked indifferently, “Is there anything you need?”Leilana smiled. She was stunning with a great body and a popular lady in the Greater Realms.However, Wotan was not interested in her.“Wotan,” Leilana called out to Wotan and asked, “How did you ally with Forty-nine? What kind of agreement did you make?”Wotan had nothing to hide from Leilana’s question.
Countless gazes landed on James. They were where the formation of the Palace of Compassion was in.Although the formation masters gathered here could not break the formation, they understood some situations inside the formation.A long time ago, a formation master found out the circumstance of the formation and knew that it was where the Palace of Compassion was.Wotan walked over the James hurriedly with a smile and asked, “There aren’t any problems this time either, right?”James smiled and answered, “What problems can there be?”When he said that, many powerhouses’ emotions fluctuated. At this moment, all of them wanted to ally with James.Leilani, too, was more eager than ever to ally with James. She could not resist walking over to James. With an alluring smile and a sweet voice, she called out, “Forty-nine.”James glanced at Leilani and said indifferently, “What is it?”Initially, James had a good impression of Leilani because she helped him before. However, when his iden
As Leilani was on Wotan’s side, she was a help.Turning around, Wotan looked behind at James, who was sitting with his legs crossed and frowned. “Why must he begin his closed-door meditation now?”Wotan was not willing to protect James. However, James was the only one who could break the formation, and only James could bring Wotan into the formation. To obtain the inheritance of the Compassionate Path Master, Wotan could only protect James.Far away, many living beings gathered. They exchanged glances.Even though they had reached a consensus, with Wotan around, no one wanted to attack first.Thus, no one moved.In the time formation, James sat with his legs crossed.Several strange inscriptions appeared before him. These were the formation inscriptions.He learned a few simple inscriptions outside of Planet Desolation. After entering Planet Desolation, he broke many formations. The more formations he broke, the more deeply he comprehended the formation inscriptions of Planet D
James was carrying out closed-door meditation in the time formation.Most of the living beings present had grudges against the Human Race, so they did not wish for James to rise. If he rose, he would become a threat to them.Under Wynnstan’s lead, many living beings attacked simultaneously.Hundreds of powerhouses attacked at the same time, and all kinds of magic treasures emerged. They were heading to the mountain range James was in. Their aura was monstrous.With a sword in his hand, Wotan’s expression was extremely grave.“He’s giving me so much trouble,” cursed Wotan. Then, his body flashed and appeared in mid-air. The plain sword in his hand also began to dazzle.“Sword Field!” roared Wotan.The sword in his hand moved continuously, and countless Sword Energies emerged. These Sword Energies gathered together. They immediately materialized, and the mountain peak was instantly engulfed in Sword Energies.Boom! Boom! Boom!All kinds of treasures landed and smashed the Sword
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
