Three thousand years had passed while James refined the contaminated Karma Power.When James was done, he closed his eyes and tried to locate Thea.Although Thea deliberately hid her aura to avoid him, he easily found her whereabouts.Thea had set up Devouring Formation in a desolate mountain range and was hiding within it.Shortly after she completed the formation, a few dozen living beings wandered into the mountain range.The formation was triggered when the living beings entered the mountain range. Several Permanence Acmeans had their Spiritual Powers sucked away, and only their bones remained.Thea absorbed the Spiritual Power and murmured, “Wonderful.”Sensing the energy in her body, she smiled with satisfaction.“Show yourself, Witch!” A furious voice came from within the formation.“You’re a coward, hiding in the dark! Come and face us!”A few powerhouses trapped inside the formation taunted her.The powerhouses were relatively strong and had united to kill Thea. The
Thea was at the peak of the Terra Acme Rank and cultivated Diabolic ArtShe used Diabolic Art to devour the Spiritual Power of other living beings and refine them into her own power.Zaire was infamous in the era before the Primordial Realm Era. Only a few powerhouses were capable of suppressing her.However, Thea was very clever and never directly confronted these powerhouses. Whenever she encountered someone she could not defeat, she would escape.Although the living beings in the mountain range were no match for her, she set up the formation as a precaution. However, James easily destroyed it.Thea ignored James, who was suffering on the ground, and looked at the living beings with a sinister smirk.Suddenly, she gripped tightly onto her sword and charged at one of the weaker opponents. The man who had just been resurrected by James was still in a daze, unable to process what had happened. Before he could react, he was already slashed by the long sword. Thea instantly absorb
James felt the cold blade against his skin and froze. He could sense the murderous aura from Thea and knew he would die inside the illusion if he were even to move a muscle.Thea asked coldly, “Who exactly are you? How are you related to Soren? Also, why are you keep following me?”“I’m not related to Soren,” James replied honestly.Although he had met with Soren before, they did not have much connection with each other.“Then why are you following me?”“I don’t want to see you continue walking down the wrong path, and I am trying to help you back on the right track.”“Pfft.” Thea sneered and said, “Who is to determine right from wrong? Everyone’s ultimate goal is to become the strongest.”“Just kill me. If you don’t, I’ll pester you until you turn to righteousness.”James closed his eyes, awaiting his death. In his current condition, he was no match against Thea.He thought Thea would surely kill him. However, she withdrew the long sword and said calmly, “I’ll spare you becau
After spending three million years in the time formation, James was oblivious to Thea’s whereabouts. He attempted to locate her whereabouts but was to no avail.James murmured disappointedly, “Saving Thea isn’t going to be easy.”He quickly left the area and entered a city.James wandered the city and began inquiring about Thea.After asking around, he learned about her whereabouts.“Zaire was captured eight thousand years ago.”“In the past years, Zaire wreaking havoc everywhere. She mercilessly took many lives, and various races could no longer stand her behavior. The Dooms called the powerhouses of the Greater Realms to capture her. She is going to be publicly sentenced today.”James acquired information about Thea’s arrest. She was being held captive in the Doom Race’s territory, waiting to be sentenced.James was shocked by the news.He pondered solemnly, ‘The Dooms? Why them?’Before the Primordial Realm Era, the Dooms had not allied with the other races in the Greate
“Go ahead and kill me if you can.”Thea unleashed a terrifying aura, and her expression turned hideous. She roared furiously at them, “But remember, I’ll come back to exterminate the Doom Race if I survive.”Her threat resounded throughout Mount Chaos.However, several lightning strikes from the sky in response to her.Hirah used the Chaos Power to form the Chaos Lightnings, which was unbearable to most living beings.At that moment, a man wearing a black robe appeared outside Mount Chaos.The man immediately noticed Thea bound to the pillar floating above the mountain. When he arrived, Thea was being tortured by a series of lightning strikes.“Damn it.” James was furious.Although Thea had taken many lives, she was still his wife. He was not going to let anyone punish and hurt her.Moreover, the Ten Great Races were not saints either. They had a blood feud with the Human Race, and James despised them.A potent aura erupted from James’ body, and he summoned Death-Celestial Sw
Soren was the only human capable of using the Blithe Omniscience.Thus, James was instantly mistaken for the powerhouse ranked first on the Chaos Ranking, Soren.James was blasted into the distance by Hirah’s Chaos Power.He floated in the distance sky, pointed the Death-Celestial Sword at Hirah, and said coldly, “Let her go.”“Hmph,” Hirah snorted and said coldly, “Who do you think you are to give me orders? Zaire has committed various heinous crimes, and her hands are covered with blood. She must be sentenced to death. I will not allow anyone to save her!”“If that’s the case, I will not show any mercy.”James’ Blood Energy churned, and his aura skyrocketed. A faint white halo appeared on the surface of his skin. At the same time, white flames also began emitting from his body.While the halo only glowed on the surface of his skin, the white flames rose several meters high. At the same time, he emitted a mighty and powerful aura.He was at the Omniscience Path’s Eighth Stage
James’ aura weakened instantly. He descended from the sky and landed on the ground.When he landed, a few guards rushed over to him and held their swords at his neck.Hirah ordered, “Release Zaire and this kid up.”Although James successfully rescued Zaire, he was bounded to the pillar in her place.Thea had suffered severe injuries and got up from the ground with incredible difficulty. She looked at James, who was bounded, and said coldly, “You must be eager to die. Do you think I’ll be grateful just because you saved me? You’re so naive.”She did not appreciate James’ actions.Under the gazes of the Doom Race’s powerhouses, she dragged her body and disappeared from Mount Chaos.She arrived outside of Mount Chaos. Her initial plan was to leave the Dooms’ territory and heal her injuries as soon as possible. However, she did not immediately retreat in the end.Thea stood outside Mount Chaos and silently looked at James, tied to the pillar in the distant sky.Despite being bou
James endured ten thousand strikes of Chaos Lightnings, and not an inch of his body was intact. His flesh was split apart and scorched. Even his bones were broken from the punishment.His soul had been integrated into his physical body. With his body sustaining so many injuries, his soul was also damaged. James was slowly losing consciousness and was on the brink of death.Countless powerhouses of different races were gathered around the area.Everyone watched him silently. Even though none spoke, they were shocked that a human could withstand the Chaos Lightning punishment for so long.Chaos Lightnings were considered one of the strongest punishments in the Greater Realms. Only a handful of people could endure just one strike of Chaos Lightning. Thus, they found it unbelievable that James resisted tens of thousands of strikes.“I can’t die now.”James was about to pass out. He felt like his soul was about to disappear any time soon.A strong survival instinct immediately rose
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
