Xezal stared at the Soul Pagoda ahead but failed to notice anything odd.She did not know why she was here. She only went along with her senses.She did not approach the Soul Pagoda. She only stared at it from afar before turning around to leave.When she turned around, she sensed an unusual fluctuation of aura. She could not help but turn back around and stare ahead.After staring for a while, she raised her hands as power from in her palms. The power flowed forward.At once, the formations cast by James appeared one by one.The moment Xezal saw the formations, her expression changed as she questioned, “Why are there so many formations around the Soul Pagoda?”She quickly advanced.She took a step forward and appeared outside the formations.Waving her hands, she attacked the formations with the power in her palms.Boom!An explosion sounded.Xezal was strong, but she could not destroy the formations cast by James with one blow.James was knowledgeable in formations. Even
Upon receiving these orders, the elders present were dumbfounded.“Miss Xezal, what exactly is going on?”“Has something happened?” Several elders inquired.Xezal snorted coldly and replied, “An outsider has invaded our clan and entered our Soul Pagoda. They set up a formation here.”Qimat said, “Could it be a human? Is he here for Thea Callahan?”Shaking his head slightly, he continued, “This shouldn’t be possible. This is our divine side. How could the Human Race have the power to enter our territory without our powerhouses knowing and set up a formation here?”“I don’t know about that. Act swiftly and deal with it. The intruder is incredibly strong, but no matter who he is, he shouldn’t be allowed to leave now that he has come,” Xezal instructed once more.Qimat asked, “Should we inform Sir Youri to come back and oversee the situation?”Xezal responded, “I can’t even handle this human. Sir Youri might not be able to do anything about them even if he returns.”At that moment
Once the formation was broken and Thea was rescued, James felt completely at ease. He had great confidence in his own strength and believed that he had a chance of making it through no matter how many powerhouses the Doom Race had.James had a rough understanding of the Doom Race’s strength. Although they had many Acmeans, their highest cultivation rank was only at the Peak of the Terra Acme Rank. There were no powerhouses at the Caelum Acme Rank, even in all of the Greater Realms. Perhaps there were some, but they remained hidden in the shadows, unknown to the world.After safely keeping Thea inside his storage treasure, James appeared and casually dispelled the illusory scene he had left behind.Xezal continued to attempt to break the formation but was unable to do so in a day. Despite her having the support of the time formation, James’ formation remained impenetrable.At that moment, the scene before them vanished.The true appearance of the Soul Pagoda appeared before their
“You must stay with the Doom Race even if you step into the Omniscience Path’s Ninth Stage today,” Xezal said.James was gazing ahead at the mysterious shadow before him.He had been infiltrating the Doom Race for quite some time and had encountered Xezal several times. However, he had never been able to see through her true strength. He had suspicions that she might be a hidden powerhouse of Caelum Acme Rank, but this was only speculation and had not been confirmed.Currently, in the Greater Realms, there were no powerhouses at the Caelum Acme Rank. It had been this way ever since the decline of the Space Race. James was not entirely certain about Xezal’s true cultivation realm, and today was the perfect opportunity to test her cultivation realm. “Such arrogance,” James responded calmly. “Whether you can keep me here depends on your ability.”“Hmph.” Xezal let out a faint smile. In a flash, her shadow appeared right in front of James. Her speed was incredibly fast, almost in
Xezal had set up a formation to prevent James from escaping. Her mastery of formations far surpassed James’, but his formation was an Ancient Magic Circle and unfamiliar to her, so she could not break it in a short time. James attempted to force a breakthrough but ended in failure. The formidable pressure within the formation struck him like a blow from an unparalleled powerhouse, leaving him instantly wounded.Whoosh!From the ruins in the distance, a figure flew out. It was James. He had a disheveled appearance, bloodstained lips, and a battered body.Standing in the void, he gazed at the distant shadow and the numerous elders of the Doom Race, his expression growing serious. Among all the Doom Race, he was most concerned and wary of Xezal, an existence dreaded throughout the Greater Realms. Yet, he did not expect to encounter her while rescuing Thea.“Surrender, James,” Xezal’s voice echoed from afar. “You can’t escape. Surrender, and maybe I’ll spare your life. If you i
Xezal briefly explained what happened. After leaving behind a single sentence, her shadow disappeared from the elders’ sight.The elders exchanged glances, sizing up each other.James successfully escaped from the Doom Race. It was more like Xezal deliberately let him go than him escaping. He had no idea why Xezal allowed him to leave.James ventured far away from the Dooms Universe and entered an uninhabited small world. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he sensed that no living beings were tracking him. As he relaxed, he slumped down to the ground and was unable to hold back a mouthful of blood. Seating himself cross-legged on the ground immediately, he activated his powers to heal his injuries.Simultaneously, he released Thea.“Are you alright?” As soon as Thea appeared, her face was filled with concern once she noticed James’ injuries.James grinned nonchalantly and said, “What could possibly be wrong? Xezal is truly terrifying. She might have already transcended
James stopped to tend to his injuries. Although the injuries were quite severe, they were not fatal, so he recovered quickly.“Thea, I’ll take you back to the current base of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect. You’re pregnant now and shouldn’t be reckless. At this critical moment, your safety is paramount. Only when you are safe will my mind rest at ease,” James said while looking at Thea.Thea nodded her head and said, “Okay, I’ll be more cautious from now on.”Right after, James escorted Thea away and returned to the Heaven-Eradicating Sect’s base. Afterward, he departed and entered the Chaotic Void, finding an uninhabited place to change his aura and assume the appearance of Wyot once again.However, he did not hastily return to the Doom Race but continued his training, while the imposter sent by the Heaven-Eradicating Sect vanished.James continued his training, journeying through various universes. Soon, the news of what happened with the Doom Race spread. Word of Thea’s rescue
“Haha!”Within the formation, a burst of hearty laughter echoed.“Youri, stop wasting your breath. I’ll say it again, I’ll hand over the Blithe Omniscience to you if you can get me out of this formation. Otherwise, there’s no room for negotiation.”“Hmph.” Youri’s patience wore thin, and he stood up, coldly stating, “Do you think you’re still as powerful as you were in the past? Countless eons have eroded your physical body, you’re far from your former self. Now, I can easily obliterate you.”“I’ve long detached myself from life and death.” Soren did not pay any heed to Youri’s threats.Youri took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm.“I already have nine tokens in my possession, the last one is in the possession of the Human Race. I’ve already captured Thea Callahan, the Human Race’s matron, to coerce the human powerhouses into revealing the token’s location. Judging by the time, we have just a century left until the deadline. I’m heading back now. Once I obtain the fin
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
