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
Xezal’s body appeared in the sky instantly. She raised her hand and unleashed countless sigils.The sigils spread throughout the area and instantly formed a protective barrier to block James’ Sword Energies.As the Sword Energies struck the protective barrier, the surrounding void was shattered, and countless black holes appeared consecutively.Seeing that Xezal had successfully blocked James’ attacks, the powerhouses inside the protective barrier sighed in relief.A powerhouse said furiously, “We’ve been pushed into a corner.”“We didn’t struggle as much back when trying to obliterate the Human Race in the past. But inside James’ formation, I can’t even exert my powers.”James had controlled the formation, trying to kill Gaerel first. However, Xezal interfered and blocked the formation’s attacks.Even though she could not break the formation, she was strong enough to neutralize the attacks.However, Xezal knew they could not afford to waste any time. Once the formation trappin
James had used his formation to gather the Cloud Universe’s Genesis and combined it with his Chaos Path to form a massive sword.The sword manifested in the air, containing destructive force. The Cloud Universe could not withstand the force and showed signs of collapsing.The powerhouses watched the massive sword form with terrified expressions. A few of the weaker Acmeans’ faces went pale.Everyone sensed the sword’s terrifying force and knew they would die if struck by it.The thought of running immediately popped into their minds.The group of powerhouses immediately dispersed, running in different directions. Even those at the peak of the Terra Acme Rank frantically fled the area.Meanwhile, James hovered in the sky and fixated his gaze on Gaerel. Gaerel’s face darkened after he noticed James’ piercing gaze. He immediately cursed, “Why the fuck is he staring at me? Does he intend to kill me?”James floated silently in the air.Suddenly, he made another move. He poured all
Thea wanted to help James fight, but she could not defeat even one of the patriarchs present with her current strength, let alone Xezal.After some time, James’ injuries had recovered.“Thea, is the Ursas’ founder still alive?” James turned to Thea beside him.Xezal’s words made him worried.Thea shook her head lightly and said, “I’m not sure. I’ve never heard of the Ursa’s founder before.”James’ brows furrowed at her response.Xezal was a rather serious person and must have been telling the truth.James pondered, ‘Could the Ursa’s founder really still be alive? Is he a Caelum Acmean by any chance?’Meanwhile, Xezal had returned to the group of powerhouses.Gaerel quickly approached her, clasped his hands, and said, “Thanks for saving me, Xezal. If you didn’t step in, I would’ve been severely injured or might have even lost my life.”Xezal responded, “James’ formation will not be easy to deal with. I’ve forcefully entered the Caelum Acme Rank but still can’t break it. We d
James activated the formation’s power but failed to kill the powerhouses.Although the powerhouse survived, they were terrified and did not dare to act recklessly.Their battle temporarily came to a stalemate.Since the group of powerhouses were not taking any action, James did the same. He began to heal his wounds wholeheartedly. James was severely injured and wanted to continue healing his wounds so he could continue fighting them.Meanwhile, Xezal’s main body, somewhere in the Greater Realms, gradually stood up. Her body emitted a white light, making her look like an ethereal being.She stood up and stepped forward. Suddenly, she vanished and reappeared outside the Heaven-Eradicating Sect’s hideout.Xezal looked at the mountains ahead and pointed her finger forward. A powerful force emerged from her fingertip and shattered the protective formation that Thea had previously set up for them.The senior authorities of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect were immediately alarmed and qui
Thea asked worriedly, “But are we capable of safely escaping with Soren?”The power of James’ formation was limited, and he could not kill the group of powerhouses with Xezal protecting them.Thea could sense that Xezal was not using her full strength to break the formation. A Caelum Acmean like her would not be stopped so easily by James’ formation.“We can only take one step at a time.”James did not have much confidence either.Now, he could only wait to see what happens next. He would do his best to hold back the group of powerhouses if they chose to unite to break the formation.Since they were not taking action, James continued to heal his wounds while paying attention to the formation trapping Soren.More than half a day had passed, and the formation had dissipated significantly.Meanwhile, an old man dressed in a gray robe suddenly appeared in the Chaos outside the Cloud Universe.The old man had long white hair and a beard. He hovered outside the Cloud Universe and em
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
