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
Sigmund from the Devil Race stepped forward. He stood at the very front and said, “Wotan, Forty-nine is a human. He’s our shared enemy. The potential he has shown is too great, and we can’t let him leave here alive. Otherwise, he would become a threat and wreak devastation upon the Greater Realm’s other races.”“I don’t know what race you belong to, but I hope you’ll help us kill Forty-nine first.”“It doesn’t matter which of us survives in the end. However, we must get rid of him.”Sigmund’s voice was resolute.The Ghost Race’s prodigy, Xhafer, also chimed in, “Sigmund is right. Even if only one of us can leave this place, it can’t be that human.”“I agree. Let’s kill him together.”“I hope you consider the consequences, Wotan. Don’t you dare become a traitor to the Greater Realm’s races.”After James killed Wynnstan from the Doom Race, everyone realized how terrifying James’ strength was. If James left Planet Desolation with the Primal Mantra, he could reach the Omniscience Pa
Hundreds of thousands of powerhouses attacked James in unison. Their combined aura was terrifyingly strong. It was enough to intimidate a powerhouse at the Quasi Acme Rank into losing the courage to fight.Swoosh!A long sword appeared in Wotan’s hand. The ordinary-looking sword suddenly emitted a dazzling glow, and Wotan’s body immediately unleashed a powerful aura. Wotan swung out his sword and materialized Sword Energies that rushed toward the group of creatures. Right then, the Quasi Acmeans in the vanguard united and unleashed a powerful force to defend against Wotan’s attack. Wotan was only testing the waters and did not use his full strength. The group of powerhouses easily blocked his light attack.He smiled and said lightly, “Interesting. This fight will be fun today.” After he spoke, he glanced at James and charged at the group of incoming enemies with his sword.James stood in place and watched the battle from a distance.Wotan rushed over and fought the legion of pow
On the battlefield, the hundreds of thousands of creatures immediately turned pale. Several Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods could not withstand the Sacred Blossom’s power. As the force suffused the air, they were instantly obliterated, not even leaving a trace of their souls.Some Quasi Acmeans quickly dodged the force and retreated to the distance. Those that could not dodge mustered all their strength to defend themselves.Boom!!!An explosion rocked the battlefield.The Sacred Blossom was blown to smithereens, and several powerhouses were blasted away, causing them to spit out blood.Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Silence cloaked the battlefield. There were many casualties among the hundreds and thousands of participants. Almost all of the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods perished because of the Sacred Blossom’s assault. Only a few Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods that had emergency maneuvers managed to barely resist the force. Although they survived, the
About 300,000 creatures had shown up at Planet Desolation’s central region.James used the Sacred Blossom to kill roughly ninety percent of them, leaving less than 30,000 creatures alive. However, those that survived were the true powerhouses that wielded great strength.James unleashed the Sacred Blossom once more. Having already learned the horror of the Sacred Blossom, the enemy powerhouses did not dare to act carelessly. They gathered together and collectively blocked the attack. They instantly formed a protective barrier around the remaining survivors.The Sacred Blossom’s force swept toward them.Boom!!!The force crashed into the barrier, resulting in a large blast of energy. The shock waves from the explosion destroyed everything in the surrounding area.A mysterious power protected the Desolate Grand Canyon, and the damage caused to the environment was instantly mended.The protective barrier formed by the 30,000 powerhouses successfully blocked the Sacred Blossom’s pow
“So what if our opponents are a human prodigy and an Acmean?”“Everyone, unite and maintain the protective barrier.”The group of creatures rallied each other.Wotan looked at James and asked, “What should we do now?”James thought awhile and said, “What else is there to do? Our only option is to kill them after breaching their barrier.”James still had his hidden weapon, the Flame Art's Three Fire Transformations.However, James was unsure if there were other Acmeans still lurking around unbeknownst to him. He wanted to refrain from using it unless it was absolutely necessary.James instructed Wotan, “You’ll strike them from the left. I’ll attack from the right.”Then, he summoned a sword. The blade was black and with a slightly curved tip. It was James’ reforged Malevolent Sword. The Malevolent Sword’s strength surpassed a Chaotic Treasure and could already be considered an Acmean God Weapon.Holding the Malevolent Sword in his hand, James could sense a powerful force buried
Chaos Power was unique to the Doom Race. James did not know how the Dooms cultivated Chaos Power. In his case, he needed to comprehend the various Paths of heaven and earth to generate pure Chaos Power.He cultivated Chaos Power assisted by Thea’s machinations. However, it was not pure Chaos Power yet. He slowly explored and integrated the various Paths of heaven and Earth into his Chaos Path, which allowed him to perfect his Chaos Power.James did not hold back anymore since it now came down to his survival. He quickly summoned his Chaos Power. His Chaos Power was channeled into the Malevolent Sword, and Chaos Sword Energy burst out to strike the protective barrier below him.Chaos Power was supreme, and no other race in the Greater Realms had power that could transcend it.The creatures hiding inside the protective barrier were unafraid of James’ attack. However, they immediately sensed the anomaly after the Chaos Sword Energy approached the protective barrier.“Th-This is…?”“
The protective barrier was damaged because a few among the 30,000 creatures secretly held back their strength. They did not regard James and Wotan as their final opponents. Thus, they wanted to preserve their strength to seize the treasure after eliminating the two biggest threats.Someone in the protective barrier shouted, “Guys, stop holding back! We need to go all out now! If you continue limiting your strength, we’re all going to die!”The others also sensed the dangerous force closing in on them and knew they would die at this rate. At that moment, those holding back hurriedly channeled all their strength to reinforce and strengthen the formation.Meanwhile, James and Wotan continued to attack them relentlessly.James slashed the Malevolent Sword, and streams of Sword Energies fell on the protective barrier like a meteor shower. He summoned the Sacred Blossom at the same time, unleashing its power on the barrier as well.On the other hand, Wotan was also merciless and attacke
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
