Zella appeared before James.The smile on James’ face disappeared, and he became serious.“What else can I do to improve my power in a short time?” James looked at Zella and asked.Zella shook her head.Cultivation needed to be done step by step. One could not break through continuously in a short time.“However, you don’t need to be anxious. There’s still time. Now, you only need to try to enter the Quasi Boundless Supreme Path Rank,” said Zella.If James could not enter the Quasi Boundless Supreme Path Rank, even if he entered the Permanence Acme Rank and the Terra Acme Rank, he would not be Wynton’s match.To defeat Wynton, James needed to enter the Boundless in the Quasi Acme Rank and the Permanence Acme Rank. Then, he had to enter the Terra Acme Rank to have an opportunity to defeat and even kill Wynton.Although James had a breakthrough in the Omniscience Path, he was not happy at all. If he failed, he would die in the secret stage.“The Boundless… Can I reach the Boundl
James broke down the Karma Path first because it was the most mysterious path. If he could understand how to enter the Acme Rank with the Karma Path, he could easily enter the Acme Rank with other paths.The primitive rules and inscriptions of the Karma Path appeared around him. These rules and inscriptions kept changing from simple to complex. In the end, a complete Karma Path and Ninth-Rank Karma Power had been formed, surpassing the Ninth Rank Macrocosm Power and deducing a Quasi Acme Power.However, he reached the end of the comprehension and deduction of the Karma Path.No matter how he deduced, he could not deduce the true Acme Power. He decided to give up for the time being and began to deduce the Five Great Paths.The Five Great Paths were deduced at the same time. They became complete paths from the primitive inscriptions and rules.The end of the Five Great Paths was also the Quasi Acme Rank. He could almost reach the Acme Rank, but he could not take the last step.He s
Zella spoke up.“Forget?” James was confused.Zella nodded her head slightly and said, “Yeah. Forget. Forget how you entered the Acme Rank. If you can do that, then you have entered the Boundless. However, it’s very difficult to do this. In the process of forgetting, you need to increase your Path Energy. When your Path Energy reached the extreme, you would not be able to improve if you did not enter the Permanence Acme Rank.”“Suppress, breakthrough, and improve your Path Energy infinitely. As you improve, you will forget.”James knew all this. It was because he understood the Boundless before.Even though it seemed simple, it was extremely hard to carry it out. It could be said that it was impossible.“Why don’t you give it a try?” Zella looked at James with a faint smile.“Alright.”James also wanted to try it out. He wanted to see if he could improve his Path Energy further after reaching the extreme, under the circumstance of not having a breakthrough.At once, he sat in
Zella knew the situation and predicament of James right now.James had no time to settle down.“Begin the next path.”Zella’s voice sounded in his ear and mind.James was trying his best to suppress the Space Path. Upon hearing Zella’s voice, he took a deep breath and forcefully activated another path. This time, he activated the Life Path.He activated the Life Path to the extreme.It was hard enough to suppress one path from having a breakthrough. Now, he needed to suppress two paths. In an instant, large drops of sweat fell from his forehead.His face became distorted.From afar, Zella observed James suppress the extreme.She called out to him to continue activating the paths. At the same time, he needed to forcefully suppress the paths to prevent having a breakthrough. These were contradictory.“Activate the third path,” continued Zella.James continued to activate a path. This time, he activated the Death Path.At this time, he had already activated three paths. All th
“Thoughts are invincible.”“Use your thought to resist, your willpower to suppress, and your heart to absorb the energy of the Heavenly Tribulation.”“Activate again.”…Time was ticking.To James, every minute was torture.Under Zella’s guidance, he continued the activate new paths.Now, he had already activated the Greater Paths. His Soul Power was exhausting quickly. He needed to absorb the energy to recover the exhausted Soul Power by multitasking.He could activate the Greater Paths and suppress them, but if he wanted to absorb the energy of the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be hard.Nevertheless, no matter how hard it was, he absorbed the energy slowly.Every time he absorbed the energy meant he walked the paths other living beings needed countless years to complete.“Merge them and form the Chaos Path.”Zella could sense that James had reached his limit. She wanted to press the latter once more. She instructed him to merge the Greater Paths and form the Chaos Path.”
James withdrew his aura. Then, he descended from the sky and landed on the ground steadily before walking toward Zella.He looked at Zella who was covered in sweat.He was grateful to her.If it weren’t for Zella’s guidance, he wouldn’t be able to enter the Boundless in such a short time.“Zella, thank you.”Zella stood up. With an appreciative smile, she said, “You’re strong. It has only been three thousand years in the outside realm, yet you have reached the end of the path other living beings needed thousands of epochs to complete.”“With my Eighth Rank of Omniscience Path and my Quasi Boundless Rank Acme Path, do you think I can defeat Wynton?” James asked.Zella shook her head and answered, “No. The gap is too big. With your current ability, Wynton can kill you in one blow.”Upon hearing that, James frowned. He was a lot stronger than before. If he could not kill Wynton after all this, did that mean he wouldn’t have a chance within the thirty-thousand-year period?“So,
“It's impossible,” Marcus flatly refused. “Now that the Path of Heavenly Awakening forcefully projected us into someone else’s illusory trials, all of this is his test. Death awaits him if he fails. I won’t sacrifice myself to fulfill his destiny. You’re weary, go and rest,” Marcus said, leaving those words behind as he turned and departed from the place. Zella watched his departing figure, a hint of resignation in her expression.“Marcus, you’re too fixated. If you let go of everything and cultivate with a calm mind, perhaps you might be able to transcend the known limits and step into the Chaos,” Zella knew that her brother would not agree. However, she still decided to give it a try.James remained in the courtyard without venturing out since he had no desire to roam around. He pondered how he could surpass his current realm, engage Wynton in battle and slay him.Not long after, Zella returned again. James promptly stood up and called out, “Miss Zella.”Zella walked over a
James had seen the Chaos Sacred Art before, this was not his first time. However, he could not grasp the meaning of the characters within it during his previous attempt. The Chaos Sacred Art’s scriptures eluded his understanding.The last time he read it, he seemed to enter a peculiar state where his mind wandered, and it felt like his soul detached from his physical body.In that fleeting moment, he heard a mysterious and deafening voice, which deeply resonated with his heart. At that moment, he referred to it as the “Sound of the Universe”.The Chaos Sacred Art’s text manifested right before him, appearing within his field of vision. These were captions unlike any he had seen before, seemingly unchanging and timeless. James attempted to utilize the Primal Mantra and his unique abilities to decipher the inscriptions, hoping to simplify them into their most basic and fundamental form. However, he soon realized that these inscriptions were immutable, they refused to change or be fu
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
