Everyone was well aware of Wynnstan’s background. He was a very prestigious powerhouse from the Doom Race and had overwhelming strength. Despite that, he was so easily eliminated. Not only was his physical body destroyed, but his soul also did not escape being annihilated.After witnessing Wynnstan’s death, the surrounding creatures were horrified. Even those that wanted to kill James felt scared of his strength.Everyone backed away from James.“What kind of flames were those? Why are they so powerful?”“I’ve never seen nor read about this before.”“He has been hiding his strength very well.”“I don’t think he has been hiding it. He must’ve obtained it from the Palace of Compassion.”…After James killed Wynnstan, a powerhouse of the Doom Race, everyone was completely blown away. Everyone present could not believe it, yet they had witnessed it with their own eyes.James put away the Ignis, and took a deep breath. He knew how frighteningly powerful the Ignis was. Despite his p
James left the area, leaving Leilani behind. Leilani felt her mind go blank, and she stood frozen in place.James had displayed frightening power. She still remembered meeting James for the first time. He did everything possible to earn her favor. However, he had become so powerful in just a short period. Even Leilani was wary of him at his current cultivation rank.She immediately understood that she had made a mistake in attacking Wotan. If she had not betrayed them, she might have been able to leave Planet Desolation alive because James had already comprehended the formation around the planet. James might open the formation and let her out in the end. However, she lost her opportunity.“Huff.” Leilani sighed helplessly.Meanwhile, James had already left. The news of James killing Wynnstan instantly spread throughout Planet Desolation, and everyone had heard about the battle. James had already become an existence more fearsome than Wotan. Although Wotan was strong, he could not i
Many great boons appeared during the time James spent cultivating, and various creatures fought endlessly over them. Some even lost their lives in these intense battles. Only the strong remained in the end.Even after 500,000 years, no one other than James had visited the central region. James spent the past years cultivating inside the time formation, and his comprehension of Formation Inscriptions had grown even deeper. He emitted a fearsome aura, and mysterious Formation Inscriptions revolved around him.Boom!Suddenly, the Formation Inscriptions merged, and a terrifying force burst forth. The surrounding space shattered, and shock waves rippled through the air.James’ aura was amazingly strong.He slowly stood up and laughed confidently. “My Formation Path has finally reached the Quasi Acme Rank.”After countless years of painstaking effort, James had finally raised his Formation Path to the Quasi Acme Rank.Making a breakthrough in a single Path would allow James to speed
Wotan showed up with tousled hair and horrific wounds. His white robe was stained with blood, and he looked worn out.James looked at Wotan with a frown and said, “You’re the tenth in the Gold Rank of the Chaos Ranking. In a one-on-one fight, you’re undefeatable by cultivators at the Quasi Acme Rank. You had a considerable chance of winning a fight against an Acmean. How did you end up in such a terrible state?”Wotan walked over, sat on the ground, and sighed despondently. “Don’t even ask me about it. I haven’t had a day of peace since I left the Palace of Compassion. Some Quasi Acmeans banded together to hunt me down during the past few years. Just a while ago, at least 20 Acmeans were chasing after me. I managed to escape with great difficulty.”Since parting with James, Wotan had found a place he could cultivate. However, his whereabouts were soon uncovered. Since then, he had been constantly on the run.During this period, he killed many powerhouses.“By the way…” Wotan looke
After James had formulated a plan, he did not stay in the area for long. He also cut through the void and hid within the cracks of space to cultivate.Since the formation had shrunk toward the central region, many powerhouses had already appeared near the Desolate Grand Canyon. After hiding himself inside a void, James formed a time formation around his body.Then, he began to contemplate the Flame Art’s Three Fire Transformations. It was a devastating Supernatural Power. The requirements to cultivate it were very demanding. First, one needed a powerful physical body. Secondly, one had to absorb and refine an Ignis. After fulfilling these conditions, one would be eligible to cultivate the Flame Art’s Three Fire Transformations.“The First Transformation of the Flame Art’s Three Fire Transformations is Flame God Incarnation.“The Second Transformation is Everlasting Flames“The Third Transformation is Flames of Destruction.”Explained simply, the First Transformation allowed one t
James focused wholeheartedly on cultivating.After examining the Ignis, James realized it was not an ordinary flame. Instead, it was one of the most magical flames in heaven and earth. Ignis would come into being the moment a major world came to its end. After a major world’s destruction, an Ignis would rise out of its ashes. However, not all major worlds could produce Ignis when they were destroyed. Ignis would only form after the collapse of a world similar to the Primordial Realm.Moreover, only a minuscule amount of Ignis would be formed after. Collecting a large amount of Ignis would require many worlds to meet their ends.Ignis was also known as Cultivation Fire, as Paths of heaven and earth existed within its flames.Humans were also living beings under heaven and earth and existed through the functioning of Paths. These Paths transformed into Ignis and as such were incompatible with the human body.James had misunderstood the sequence of creation. Paths existed before huma
James successfully cultivated the First Transformation of the Flame Art’s Three Fire Transformations, Flame God Incarnation. However, mastering the Second Transformation was much more difficult. James could not possibly cultivate it within a short period.Still, the First Transformation was sufficient for now. James dissipated the Ignis, and his body returned to normal. He tore open the void, walked out of hiding, and stepped into the Desolate Grand Canyon again.He immediately noticed the countless creatures gathered around him. Everyone’s gazes fell on him.“His aura has grown even stronger. During this period, he must’ve been cultivating in secret and improved his cultivation rank.”“Damn it. Even if we perish in the upcoming battle, we must destroy him. We can’t let him leave the planet with the Primal Mantra.”Many powerhouses secretly conspired with one another. They had one common goal—to eliminate James. Even if they had to sacrifice themselves, they were determined to ens
The mastermind behind the entire event had finally appeared. Judging from its blurry figure, it most likely took on a human form. However, it was hard to see the figure’s face and make out their gender. The voice seemed elderly and hoarse, which gave it a domineering quality.The hundreds of thousands of creatures looked at the figure that appeared above the Desolate Grand Canyon. Everyone began trying to guess the identity and cultivation rank of the mysterious mastermind. James was no exception. He, too, stared at the blurry figure that had shown themselves.He let out his Divine Sense, trying to inspect the figure. However, his Divine Sense swept past the blurry figure and could not detect its presence. The figure was floating right in front of him. He could see it himself, yet his Divine Sense could not examine it.James was taken aback and surmised that the creature must have a very high cultivation rank.“To everyone that has made it this far and arrived in this place, I laud
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
