Xezal said, “Leave James to me. Everyone below the Terra Acme Rank should leave the Cloud Realm immediately. I’ll distract James while everyone else goes to deal with Soren. We should get rid of him first.”The powerhouses below the Terra Acme Rank left the area one after another.James noticed some of them trying to flee the area and quickly activated the formation around the Cloud Universe.”When the Permanence Acmeans arrived at the universe’s border, they realized a formation had already been cast to trap them. They urged all their strength to try and break the formation but were to no avail.Left with no other option, they returned to the Soul Realm.“We’re in trouble. The Cloud Universe has already been sealed by a formation. We tried to break it, but our efforts were futile.”The powerhouses present realized how grave the situation was.“Haha!!!” James laughed menacingly and said, “I admit, all of you are very powerful cultivators. I can’t kill everyone, but I’ll make sur
Xezal’s power had increased significantly compared to the beginning of the fight.Just moments ago, she was almost even matched with James. But now, her strength had surpassed him significantly.After the direct confrontation, James suffered a major injury. At the same time, his body was blasted into the distance by the explosion’s force.Xezal relentlessly chased after him, continuously launching fierce attacks.Seeing that James was distracted by Xezal, the other powerhouses quickly charged at the formation again.James paid Xezal no attention. He quickly dashed to the formation to block the powerhouses’ attacks, protecting the formation from sustaining any damage.After repelling them, he cast a Supernatural Power and teleported the formation to a desolate ruin in the distance.James placed the black palace down and released the Death Demon from his storage.While inside the storage, the Death Demon had been recuperating wholeheartedly. His injuries had been healed, and his
Although dozens of the powerhouses attacked the formation, James could keep them away for now.After repelling the powerhouses, James quickly made a move against them.His body flickered through the space, and every time he reappeared, he would slash his sword to unleash dazzling Sword Energy.Countless Sword Energies filled the area in just a short moment.Then, he summoned a few mysterious inscriptions and combined them with the Sword Energies to form a powerful Sword World, trapping all his opponents.After constructing the Sword World, James relocated the black palace again.The black palace was teleported to a desolate place in the Cloud Universe. The Death Demon was covered in injuries but still remained on guard in front of the black palace with his eleven death spirits.The Death Demon scanned his surroundings warily.Meanwhile, the dozens of powerhouses were trapped in James’ Sword World.Countless Sword Energies fell from the sky and attacked them. The powerhouses co
Xezal had already been using her full strength to fight James.She was at the Quasi Caelum Acme Rank. Her strength was above James but not enough to overpower and kill him.Now that she had activated a Secret Art, James felt desperate.Wynton was the one opponent that had made him feel such despair.James had encountered countless powerhouses with similar auras, like Yardos and the Boundless Master. However, none of them were his enemies.Xezal floated in the air with her rapier, which emitted a blinding radiance.Meanwhile, James quickly healed his injuries.His goal was to stall for time.As long as he bought enough time, Soren would be freed from the formation.After Soren was out of the formation, he could slaughter the powerhouses in the Cloud Universe. Even though he might not be able to wipe out all the Terra Acmeans, many of the powerhouses would die in his hands.Thea, who was watching from the dark, sensed Xezal’s powerful aura.Being a powerhouse that used to be a
Xezal raised her head to the sky and roared, “Break!”She lifted her Caelum Acmean God Weapon and unleashed a powerful Sword Energy, which soared into the sky. Boom!!!James’ Sword World was shattered instantly.After Xezal destroyed the Sword World, James suffered a backlash. His body was blasted away, and he spat a mouthful of blood.Xezal quietly appeared behind James. She put away her dazzling golden rapier and thrust her palm at James. A palm print emerged and struck James’ back.Crack!!!A terrifying force permeated James’ body, instantly shattering his bones. The sound of his bones breaking resounded.James’ physical body was also severed. His flesh disintegrated, and blood splattered around the area.“Join.” James concentrated his Chaos Power and forcibly put his body back together.Although his body was whole again, he was badly injured. He was wounded even more severely compared to when he fought Wynton. James’ strong will was keeping him alive. He knew Soren
James’ time formation was destroyed. However, he was nowhere to be seen.Xezal was taken aback for a moment. She quickly recomposed and laughed, “Haha! Interesting, I wasn’t expecting you to play such tricks with me.”After speaking, Xezal searched for James’ aura, trying to locate his exact position. She spread her Divine Sense throughout the Cloud Universe but found no trace of him.Boom!!!A massive explosion erupted somewhere in the Cloud Universe, where many powerhouses were gathered.These powerhouses visited the Cloud Universe to attend the Cloud Race’s event.All of them were Terra Acmeans but were not strong enough to get involved in the fight between James and Xezal.Suddenly, several flashes of lightning pierced through the sky and struck a few powerhouses that could not react in time. Their bodies were obliterated, and only a portion of their souls remained.The soul fragments frantically fled from the area.The other powerhouses that survived also began to retreat
The powerhouses destroyed the Sword World and quickly reunited with Xezal.The other powerhouses that left to escape the Soul Realm also gathered toward her.Together, they began discussing their next step.“What should we do now, Xezal? We’ve been trapped inside James’ formation. We have to find a way to break it, or else the various race of the Greater Realms will face grave danger,” asked Gaerel.Gaerel could sense that Xezal had entered the Caelum Acme Rank. Even though he was a dignified Terra Acmean, he humbly asked for her opinion.After being trapped in the Sword World, he suffered severe injuries from James’ Chaos’ Nine Voices.The other powerhouses that were trapped inside the Sword World were also wounded.The weaker Acmeans, on the other hand, began to panic after witnessing the death of their friends.Back when they joined forces to wipe out the Human Race during the Primordial Realm Era, they showed no fear.However, they felt horrified to face James.A powerhou
“What do you mean?” Thea was startled.James replied, “The formation I’ve set up isn’t powerful, but it’s very ancient. The powerhouses trapped here aren’t familiar with ancient formations, so they were caught off guard.“However, Xezal might have a bit of understanding of ancient formations. With her strength, she is fully capable of destroying it by force. Even if she doesn’t, the powerhouses can join forces. The formation isn’t going to keep them for very long. We’ll have to strike to kill one of them before they unite to break the formation. They’ll panic after we kill one of them.”Thea stood before James and could see the powerhouses trapped inside the formation.“Who’s your target?”James replied, “Gaerel, from the Ursas.”“During the battle in the Primordial Realm, the Ursas were one of the main forces that tried to obliterate the Human Race. He’ll be the first one to pay for his sins. To be honest, I’m not sure if I can kill him, but I’ll try my best to inflict severe in
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
