James was in his strongest combat state but was still slightly weaker than Simone.The two confronted each other again and were blasted away by the force from the impact.Just as James stabilized himself, Simone struck again.His stone fist slammed at James.Before Simone landed the punch, a terrifying force swept forward and hit James.James cast the Blithe Omniscience and skillfully dodged the attack. He flashed behind Simone and thrust his hand forward. His terrifying palm attack landed on Simone’s back. However, it did not cause any substantial damage.“Haha!”Simone turned around to James and grinned. “My physical body is pretty much invincible. You can’t hurt me. Even though you’re at the Omniscience Path’s Eighth Stage and have learned the Blithe Omniscience, you’re not a match against me.”“This fight is not going to be easy.” James frowned.Swoosh!A long black sword manifested in his hand.James raised his hand, and countless Sword Energies morphed out. Shortly aft
James engaged in another intense fight.At the Death Realm, James was forced to fight consecutively.One after another, he defeated his opponents.James had lost track of how much time had passed while fighting.He encountered formidable powerhouses in different fields.There were powerhouses proficient in formations, some with terrifying physical strength and some with exceptional cultivation bases.James was exhausted from all the fights and was dazed.After nine hundred and ninety-nine opponents, James collapsed to the ground. He lay in a pool of blood. His body was severely injured, and he even had a few broken bones. He had to forcibly hold his bones together to continue fighting. Before his old wounds could fully recover, he would already sustain new ones.“Damn it. Is this never going to end?”James lay down in the pool of blood, scolding the powerhouse that created the Path of Heavenly Awakening.He quickly began to recover from his injuries and replenish his ener
After James, disguised as Wyot, entered the Path of Heavenly Awakening, Gaerel informed all the major races in the Greater Realms about it.The patriarchs of the various races appeared in the Ursa’s territory with their tokens, waiting at the Path of Heavenly Awakening’s entrance.Everyone wanted to know if the greatest prodigy of their era could overcome the Path of Heavenly Awakening’s Ultimate Trials.Three hundred years had passed since James had entered the Path of Heavenly Awakening.Suddenly, the Path of Heavenly Awakening’s door lit up.“Is he finally coming out?”The powerhouses stared at the door.“He’s back!”“Wyot has left the Path of Heavenly Path?”“He’s only reached the fourth trial. Why is he coming out now?”Many discussions resounded.Even though nobody was aware of the trials James had gone through, they were made aware of the trial he had reached from the notification above the Path of Heavenly Awakening’s door.James appeared before the powerhouses.Th
Gaerel dispersed the aura in his body and issued an order.Then, a few Ursa Race ladies brought James, who was acting as Wyot, to rest.James stayed with the Ursa Race temporarily.At the same time, in the Apex Main Hall of the Ursas, many powerhouses of all kinds of races gathered.“Wyot is too powerful,” Gaerel, sitting at the front, spoke up. “I don’t know what he experienced in the Path of Heavenly Awakening’s illusion, but I can sense that his aura is on par with mine. If I fight against him, I may not be his match.”“That’s impossible.”Right then, a powerhouse of a race stepped forward and looked at Gaerel. He said, “Mr. Wagstaff, you must have sensed his aura wrongly. Even if Wyot is strong, he hasn’t entered the Acme Rank. Meanwhile, you’ve reached the peak of the Terra Acme Rank. It’ll be easy for you to kill him.”With a grave expression, Gaerel said, “My senses can’t be wrong. Forget it. Let’s talk about the tokens. Should we hand them over?”“I think we should.”“
James had no idea what to do now.He was already strong enough to protect the Human Race alone. He could do anything he wanted next.After leaving the Ursa Race, he entered the vast Chaotic Void. He hid his aura and cut off contact with the outside realm.Then, he began to contact Thea.“Thea, where are you?”Previously, he left an inscription sigil for Thea. No matter where Thea was, he could use the inscription sigil to talk to her.However, no matter how many times he called for Thea, she did not respond.“What’s going on?”James frowned slightly.“Thea, can you hear me?” He continued to call out to her.Unfortunately, there was still no answer from Thea.He began to sense the inscription sigil he left for Thea.“The Doom Race?”After sensing the location of Thea’s inscription sigil, James mumbled to himself with a grave expression, “What’s going on? Why is the inscription sigil I left for Thea in the Doom Race? Didn’t I remind her to be careful and not expose herself?
It seemed that the real Wyot had not returned.Perhaps the situation was different than what he thought. Perhaps Thea had been caught, and the real Wyot had gained freedom, but the bodyguards had no idea about these matters. It was possible that only the true powerhouses of the Doom Race knew about it.With a smile, James greeted the bodyguards of the Doom Race.Stepping forward, he went to the apex and appeared in the Apex Main Hall.An elder was sitting in the main seat.James greeted the elder and said, “I’ve obtained the tokens. Now, aside from the Cloud Race’s missing token, the other tokens are with us.”Youri glanced at James with a satisfied expression. Then, he stood up and walked toward him. With a smile, he said, “Great. Hand me the tokens.”James hesitated for a while.“What’s wrong?”Youri stared at James with a smile as he asked, “Are you thinking of keeping them?”“No.”James hurriedly said, “I think it’s better we locate the Cloud Race’s token as soon as poss
Upon hearing Yemima’s response, James frowned.In the entire Doom Race, only Youri and the mysterious Xezal could catch Thea without letting anyone in the Greater Realms know.If Youri never left the Doom Race, could it be Xezal who did it?“What’s wrong? Is something on your mind?” Yemima noticed something was wrong with James’ expression.“It’s nothing.”Immediately, James put away his distracting thoughts. With a smile, he said, “I’m a little tired. I’ll go and take a rest.”Then, he turned around and left.As he could not get the details of the situation from Yemima, he could only inquire about it himself.He could sense the exact location of the sigil he gave Thea. However, if he were to look for the sigil now, it would cause trouble.Still, for Thea, he was not afraid of trouble.Even so, he did not act hastily.After returning to Mount Doom, he rested for a few days.For those few days, he observed the Doom Race from the dark but failed to find anything odd.Several
Every prison cell on the ninth floor had members of the Doom Race who committed severe sins imprisoned.James’ gaze scanned the cells. When he looked into the cell at the end, he saw a familiar person.It was Thea.Thea, who appeared to be dying, lay on the ground. She had fallen unconscious, but she was still alive. She had not fallen.James took a deep breath.Thea had indeed been caught by the Doom Race.If Thea was caught, what about Wyot?After sensing Thea, James was worried about Wyot. He wondered if Wyot had returned to the Doom Race. If so, there would be a battle in the Doom Race.However, it had been a few days since James returned to the Doom Race. Yet, Youri had not done anything. It was strange.Could it be that Thea had settled Wyot elsewhere before getting caught?James ignored Thea and walked toward the cell Dolph was in.Dolph was sitting in the cell with his legs crossed.When James walked over and appeared outside Dolph’s cell, he respectfully called out
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
