He pondered on how to resolve the crisis at hand. After thinking for a while, he spoke up, “Let's go and see Wyot Dalibor.”James stood up.“This way, Mister Caden.” Dempsey stepped forward and gestured for them to follow.Dempsey personally led James and Thea to the dungeon, while the other members of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect waited in the main hall.On the way to the dungeon, James and Thea walked side by side, with James holding Thea’s hand.At that moment, James, who was previously lost and helpless, suddenly regained a strong sense of conviction.“Thea, there's something I need to tell you,” James stammered.“What is it?” Thea looked puzzled.“It's about the matter with Yemima, the wife of the Dooms’ Minor Patriarch.” James took a deep breath. He decided to be honest and confessed about his intimate encounter with Yemima.“I mean, what does it matter? If the humans truly rise and establish a strong position in the Greater Realms, and if, after the annihilation of the D
James had analyzed in detail and concluded that the chaotic situation within the Greater Realms was highly unlikely to occur again. Furthermore, it was not guaranteed that other races would respond even if he, as the Great Elder of the Dooms, were to initiate a battle.Take the Angels, for example. They were well aware that he was a human but had chosen to remain silent and submissive.James continued, “I have two plans for the next steps.”“Go ahead,” replied Thea, walking ahead alongside Dempsey. These discussions between James and Thea involved the entire human race and even Dempsey, as the archbishop of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect, understood that he should remain silent and listen attentively at this moment.James continued, “I don't know if Youri will send other living beings from the Dooms to retrieve the tokens, but it's highly likely that I will be chosen. If I am the one sent, I will obtain the tokens from other races, along with the ones I already have, making a tota
At this moment, Wyot regained consciousness. He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh upon hearing the conversation between James and the others. He said, “You'd better kill me now. Otherwise, if I escape from this confinement someday, I’ll ensure the human’s utter destruction.”James ignored those words and looked at Thea, saying, “Take him away and hide him.”Thea opened a formation and effortlessly put the real Wyot inside its storage without hesitation. Then, they left the dungeon and returned to the main hall.James sat in the forefront, with Thea standing by his side. Below them were the senior authorities of the humans within the Heaven-Eradicating Sect.James stood up and gave the order, “This is a critical period. The Heaven-Eradicating Sect will cease all activities and remain hidden during this time. Do not reveal yourselves.”"Yes,” everyone responded in unison.James continued, “I will instruct my subordinates outside to create chaos. Once the turmoil begins, T
After giving the Malevolent Sword to Thea, James said, “Hide and avoid revealing yourselves easily once we escape. Also, keep the members of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect in check. I will take care of disrupting the balance in the Greater Realms. Your responsibility is to ensure the safe birth of the new world.”Thea tightly gripped the Malevolent Sword in her hand, her face showing determination. She said, “Don't worry, I won’t disappoint you.” James believed in Thea and didn't say anything more.He began to communicate with the Death Demon. “Death Demon, what is the current situation outside?”The Death Demon was hiding in the chaotic void of the outside world, closely observing the movements of the Qimat and the army of the Dooms. He truthfully replied, “The Dooms did not pursue me, but instead continued to surround the area. Their army is currently setting up a formation, which seems to be a powerful Marching Formation.”“Listen to my command when the time comes. Strike once
James called out his orders as soon as he was ready. The Death Demon had been waiting eagerly for the signal. Upon hearing James’ order, the Death Demon tightened his grip around the sword handle. Then, he led the eleven death spirits and charged toward the Dooms’ army at full speed. Their sneak attack had proved to be a success as they managed to take out several fighters.“Kill that b*stard!” Qimat bellowed furiously to his men the minute he spotted the Death Demon. His eyes were burning with rage. In a flash, Qimat teleported and appeared right before the Death Demon. The man raised his hand and directed an attack at his target. The Death Demon knew that Qimat could give him a lethal blow with a slight sweep of his hand. He swiftly dodged to the side. Boom! The place where the Death Demon was standing just a while ago was completely destroyed. At the same time, James picked up on the sounds and tremors of the ongoing clash. He turned his gaze toward Thea.“Let’s go
While the Death Demon and the death spirits had managed to escape, James was heavily surrounded by the Doom Raceʼs soldiers. At the same time, the Spatial seal had been restored and gradually stabilized. James had lost his time to escape. Besides the Dooms’ army, he would also have to go up against Qimat, who had achieved the Middle Stage of the Terra Acme Rank, and several other Acmeans. ‘Anyway, I have no plans of running now. If I were to do that, these guys would try to hunt down Death Demon instead,’ James thought. Qimat was standing somewhere not too far away from James. He fixed a stony gaze at the man holding an ordinary-looking black sword, which was emanating a strange white glow. “I’ve finally got to meet you in person. I guess I’ve made the right call this time. Even if those Heaven-Eradicating Sect members had managed to slip away, it would still be enough if I could successfully take you in.” James flashed him a smile. “Did you guys do all these things just to
James stopped using the Omniscience Path and his Chaos Power. He even put his sword back in its sheath. Qimat slightly lowered his guard upon seeing that James was in an unarmed state. James beamed broadly as he treaded toward Qimat. “I’ve heard all about you from Mr. Youri. You are his right-hand man. From now on, the two of us can work together to help Mr. Youri achieve many of his great ambitions!” Qimat looked at James, who had stopped right before him, for some time. Then, he said, “We should head back and meet with Mr. Youri first. I’m sure he has further instructions for us.” At that moment, Qimat suddenly raised his palm and slammed it forcefully on the center of James’ chest. The impact of the hit was so strong that James felt as though every muscle fiber in his body was about to be torn apart. The blow sent James’ body flying backward through the air, destroying the Chaotic Void along the path. Eventually, James managed to stop and steady himself. However, he co
Upon reaching a second new Chaotic Void, James used his sword to strike the void again. The damage that James had dealt to the surrounding Chaotic Void would help to conceal his tracks. Then, he opened several void passages simultaneously and escaped through one of them. At the same time, Qimat and his men were using all means possible to track James down. At first, they could still detect a faint trace of James’ presence and move between the Chaotic Voids by following it. However, as James gradually got further away from his pursuers, Qimat and his men completely lost track of the man eventually. “Damn it!” A rough, angry voice echoed through the Chaotic Void. “The members of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect managed to get away! We didnʼt even manage to catch that b*stard from the Human Race!” Qimatʼs face was red with rage. ‘How do I explain this to Mr. Youri…’ Qimat thought. … James went on jumping through different Chaotic Voids for quite some time. At some point,
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
