The Primordial Realm? Battle? James was thoroughly confused. It was completely outside of his expectations that Youri would suggest a battle in the Primordial Realm.After the Realm has been polluted and transformed into the Dark World, the entire realm’s Empyrean Spiritual Energy has been contaminated. In the Dark World, the highest rank that a cultivator can attain is the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank. The Quasi Acme Rank was impossible to be reached, for one would turn into a lunatic before even reaching that rank. To prevent situations like this from happening, forty-nine Universe Seeds were planted in the Chaos to ensure that a new universe could be formed. This was now a pivotal moment. James came to the Greater Realm precisely to attract the attention of the Ten Great Races, so they would not realize what happened in the Primordial Realm. But once the seal is opened, all of his efforts would be wasted.“Youri, you must be out of your mind.” Before the other powerful
Some powerful figures refused to open up the seal.Seeing this, James exhaled a breath of relief. The seal was collectively set up by the Ten Great Races, so it could only be removed if all of them opened it together. Not one more, not one less.Now that the other Races did not agree with Youri’s proposal to open up the seal, his plan has met a dead end.Youri’s palms faced up as he said, “I’ve explained what I must. I’ve nothing else to add if you refuse to open the seal.”So, Youri turned silent. Seal or no seal, it mattered little to him. But it was true that he heard that Chaos Power was cultivated by a human. He wanted to use this opportunity to prove his innocence, see whether a human escaped into the Greater Realm and impersonated him to incite mayhem. But alas, his explanations were to no avail.Many powerful figures resumed their discussion. But, nothing came out of those discussions after half a day. They believed in Youri’s innocence and that someone was up to no good.
The Chaos Sacred Lotus was the Dooms’ treasure. The Lotus only matures once in a while, and one Acmean is added to the Dooms every time the Lotus does this.Thanks to the Lotus, the Dooms’ position as the number-one race of the Greater Realms can be secured. Now that the Dooms were sharing their treasure with other Races, a number of Quasi Acmeans were very enthusiastic. They were so excited about it that they desperately wanted to enter the Primal Universe and snatch a first. Some of them were also unknown Quasi Acmeans and wanted to use this opportunity to acquire fame.Dolph continued to speak, “For the sake of the Greater Realms’ prosperity, the winning team will not only be awarded the Chaos Sacred Lotus but also the chance to access our Chamber or Scripture.”The entire room was silent. The Doom’s Chamber of Scripture stored innumerable supernatural arts. If a person successfully found something that suits him, there would be no question that the living being would become some
Xezal’s cultivation base was a secret. No Doom knew her exact cultivation base, nor seen her true form, except Dolph Dalibor.James was amused upon seeing the shadow before him. The corners of his lips were upturned, as a smile showed on his face. He then proceeded to ask, “Xezal, how long have you been working for my father?”The shadow answered, “I’m the bodyguard of the Patriarch and have worked for him ever since he assumed the position. Prior to this, I have also worked for the previous Patriarchs.”James knew all of this after he acquired Wynot’s memories. However, Xezal made up the most intriguing part of this memory, not merely because she served Dolph, but also Hirah Dalibor and other previous Patriarchs.“Tell me, what is your cultivation rank?” James asked out of his curiosity.“The Patriarch is waiting for you at his study.” Xezal disappeared from James’ vision with this instruction.His expression turned grave.“If Father wants to speak to you at this hour, there mu
“Father, what exactly is Xezal’s cultivation rank?”Dolph avoided his question and changed the subject of discussion by saying, “If you’re this confident, I have nothing else to say. Go prepare yourself for the tournament. You leave for the Primal Universe tomorrow.”“Yes, Father.” James turned around to leave. He returned to Mount Doom with a rather optimistic attitude. He did not put the tournament to heart because he has already fought Wotan, a figure on the Chaos Ranking, back in the Desolate Galaxy. After he broke through into a Quasi Acmean, he was confident that he could defeat Wotan completely with Chaos Power. Perhaps if Wotan made it to the Acme Rank, James would be slightly overwhelmed by his power. But if James deployed the Flame Art's Three Fire Transformation, then even Wotan, as an Acmean, would not be his opponent. Plus, when Wotan was a Quasi Acmean, he was merely the Tenth on the Chaos Ranking. In this sense, James had nothing to worry about.At the same moment, Yo
“There can be no mistake. That’s the youngest of the Patriarch’s children. He has never left the Dooms. The one time he did, he was captured by the Heaven-Eradicating Sect, and was only released not long ago.”“I heard that Wyot is now a Quasi Acmean.”“The Quasi Acme Rank and the Thousand Paths Holy Body can be deadly when combined.”“Where are his teammates?”“I think the rumors are false. If he has the Thousand Paths Holy Body, his cultivation speed must have been curtailed. Reaching the Quasi Acme Rank is incredibly difficult.”…The powerful figures of each race were discussing James, but he chose to ignore them.The passage saw a continuous flow of living beings into the Primal Universe. Nobody was checking their cultivation bases. Since this was a party thrown by the Dooms, no Acmean dared to enter the Primal Universe. Even if they successfully made it in, the Chaos Sacred Lotus would not be theirs once they were exposed.James waited for all of the living beings to ente
Yente was a rare gem. The Cloud Race was also one of the Ten Great Races during the Primordial Realm and had multiple Acmeans among themHowever, the Acmeans of the Cloud Race sacrificed themselves during the battle, leaving only the Grand Patriarch. But their Grand Patriarch was so badly injured that he has been in hiding ever since to recover from his injuries.Nowadays, rumors have it that the Cloud Race’s Grand Patriarch was long dead.The powerful figures of the Primordial Realm were numerous. There were at least fifty Acmeans among them, excluding the Caelum Acmeans.Even if the humans were defeated, the rest of the Greater Realms would not have it easier, for they also bore the brunt of the defeat. Yente was at the peak of the Quasi Acme Rank. But it was incredibly difficult for her to step into the Acme Rank. She would require the Chaos Sacred Lotus. All of her team members were confirmed a long while ago. They even cultivated a Formation a million years ago, called the Thu
With a snort, Xristodoulos thrust the sword.Xristodoulos was quick. In the blink of an eye, the sharp saber landed on James’ chest, and a materialized Sword Energy emerged from the saber.The Sword Energy landed on James first, followed by the saber.Xristodoulos’ cultivation base was at the peak of the Quasi Acme Rank. If he exerted his full strength, he would be terrifying.Nonetheless, James only stumbled a few steps backward from the blow. His body quickly flew backward.The ground under him immediately cracked. The cracks spread like spider webs. Countless cracks also appeared in the void around him.James could resist Xristodoulos’ attack with his own physical power because he had entered the Seventh Stage Omniscience Path middle-stage long ago. His physical power was equivalent to the Quasi Acme Rank middle-stage.However, after absorbing Flames, his body burnt and honed endlessly.Even though he had not reached the Seventh Stage Omniscience Path late-stage, his physica
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
