Youri had a grim expression.No matter who stood before the Chaos Mirror, their Soul Genesis would be completely revealed. Yet, the Soul Genesis reflected in the mirror belonged to Wyot, and there was no mistake.Despite the results, Youri still felt the Wyot in front of them was suspicious.“As far as I know, there is a magical herb called the Soulblue. It has the ability to copy another creature’s soul aura.”James was startled upon hearing Youri mention the Soulblue. However, he maintained a calm composure. He looked at Youri and said, “Even if what you said is true and a Soulblue can truly copy another creature’s aura, what about this?”After speaking, James summoned a ball of energy in his palm.He had urged his Chaos Power. Moreover, it was the complete form of Chaos Power.“I have a Thousand Paths Holy Body and have cultivated the various Paths of heaven and earth, allowing me to have pure Chaos Power.“Enlighten me, Elder Youri. Even though the Soulblue can copy one’s s
Leaving that remark, Dolph simply turned to leave. The Sect Elders in the main hall looked at one another and did not utter a single word.James, on the other hand, walked toward Youri and clasped his fists, saying, “Great Elder, I do not know what I have done wrong to deserve your discrimination. If you simply wish to cancel my right to become the next Patriarch, I won’t bat an eyelid as long as the other Sect Elders agree to it.”Saying that, he turned to leave as well.Some Sect Elders who did not see eye to eye with Youri stepped forward immediately,“Great Elder, this is a power struggle of our race. Since we’re choosing a Patriarch, we should do so fair and square. Don’t you dare play your tricks behind the scenes.”“Great Elder, you headed to the Cloud Race and demanded they hand over their token. Are you planning to release Soren Plamen?”“Are you still determined to get your hands on the Blithe Omniscience?”“You have cultivated the Human Race’s Omniscience Path and rea
Due to the instigation by Great Elder Youri, many Sect Elders of the Dooms suspected that someone else was impersonating Wyot. After the examination, James dispelled their doubts about him. Now, his position as the Minor Patriarch was secured. However, he knew that this was only the beginning.Youri and the other equally ambitious Sect Elders would never allow him to become the next Patriarch. That was because long ago, Wyot had promised to fight against the other prodigies of the race. For now, James resided on Mount Doom. Originally, he wanted to look for Dolph to understand the situation better. However, he suppressed his urge and did not go. His days on Mount Doom were rather carefree. At least there was a beautiful woman here—Yemima Dalbor. Although he could only watch with his eyes, looking at such beauty was enough to put him in a good mood every day.In the blink of an eye, he had been in the Doom Race for 3000 years.One day, a chambermaid of Dolph arrived on Mount Doom.
Manley Dalibor was chosen by the other Sect Elders and had the right to become the next Patriarch.Yemima said, “Previously, you were pitted against Hoder and Manley for the position of the Patriarch. Back then, they were already Quasi Acmeans on the top of the Chaos Gold Ranking. You had no chance of winning. However, the Grand Patriarch intervened and designated you as the Minor Patriarch. However, the other Sect Elders refused to accept such a decision. Hence, the agreement to fight in the future.”James knew about the battle. It was many years ago. Back then, Wyot’s cultivation base was still weak—only at the Ancestral God Rank. Even so, he possessed the Thousand Paths Holy Body. That was why the Grand Patriarch designated him as the Minor Patriarch. The other Sect Elders refused to accept such a decision. Hence, they proposed Wyot fought against Hoder and Manley once he crossed into the Quasi Acme Rank to compete for the position of the Patriarch. Since Wyot was weak, he had no
The Dooms were organizing a gathering because rumors had spread on the streets. Moreover, even the Soul Race’s Patriarch came personally to interrogate the Doom Race. The gathering’s objective was to explain things to the Soul Race and the various races in the Greater Realms. Then, there was the Chaos Sacred Lotus, an unparalleled treasure of the Dooms that would only ripen once every 10,000 Epochs. This time, the Dooms were sharing the Chaos Sacred Lotus with everyone. The rules were simple. Anyone could form a team of five and participate in the competition. Whoever emerged victorious would obtain the Chaos Sacred Lotus. However, there was a strict requirement—only those below the Acme Rank could participate.“Father, I will find some allies and obtain the Chaos Sacred Lotus,” James said.“Mhm.”Dolph nodded slightly and said, “Make your preparations. As for the battle between you and the other two, I will do my best to postpone it at least until the gathering is over. So, don’t w
He had set up a Formation formed by the Formation Inscriptions on Planet Desolation. This Formation could prevent the gaze of any living being from piercing through. However, he did not know if this would work on the Grand Patriarch.Sitting inside the Formation, his mind stirred, and two ancient texts appeared before him. One was the Primal Mantra he obtained on Planet Desolation, and the other was the Chaos Sacred Art given to him by the Grand Patriarch. He looked at the two most mysterious texts in the Greater Realms and stored the Primal Mantra away. That was because the Primal Mantra was supposed to be a secret. He could not let anyone know. Otherwise, the Dooms would certainly pressure him into giving it up.He looked at the Chaos Sacred Art. The cover of the ancient text was gold, on which a few golden ancient characters were engraved.“The Chaos Sacred Art…”James murmured, “The Grand Patriarch gave this to me even when my identity was doubted by the Sect Elders. What was h
The Chaos Sacred Art was too profound. The Chaos Script was unrivaled in its depth and profoundness, and James could not understand anything. He looked at the closed book before him, and the mysterious voice that appeared previously rang inside his head. He closed his eyes and concentrated on comprehending them. The voice seemed to come from the depths of the Chaos. Yet, it also seemed to have come from the depths of his soul. After contemplating for a whole day, James still could not understand what the voice was.“Perhaps this is the voice of the Chaos that contains the supreme Chaos Path,” He murmured.Since he could not understand anything, he put those thoughts aside.He stored the Chaos Sacred Art away and looked in the direction where the Grand Patriarch was in a closed-door meditation. He was wondering if he should consult the Grand Patriarch.With that idea in mind, he immediately stood up and headed in the Grand Patriarch’s direction. Soon, he arrived outside the Formatio
Hirah did not respond to James’ question. Instead, he continued, “I don’t know why or how the Dooms’ crisis would arise. However, I have foreseen that Great Elder Youri will be involved in this.”“The Great Elder?”James furrowed his eyebrows.He was wondering what Hirah was trying to say. Did he say these words because he already suspected him? Or could he have pierced through Heaven’s Secret and learned that Youri would be involved?“That’s impossible, Grand Patriarch. The Great Elder is very loyal to the Doom Race. Although there have been many internal power struggles inside our race, everyone unites in the face of external aggression.”Hirah took a deep breath and said, “You don’t understand. Not anyone in the Doom Race can cultivate the supreme Chaos Sacred Art. Since antiquity, there have only been a few that could cultivate the Chaos Sacred Art. The Great Elder has great potential and is extremely ambitious. However, he couldn’t cultivate the Chaos Sacred Art. That’s why h
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
