Swoosh!Suddenly, a ray of light shone down from the sky and gradually materialized into an elderly man dressed in a white robe.The elderly man had white hair and a wrinkled appearance.Thea was surprised by the unexpected visitor. She quickly greeted him, “Elder.”“It’s time to return home, Thea.” The elderly man leaned on his cane and looked at Thea.“Elder, I…” Thea’s brows furrowed.The elderly man said softly, “Have you forgotten where your home is? The Mega Sky Burial is about to befall the Greater Realms. Now that you’ve entered the Caelum Acme Rank, our Patriarch requests that you return home and attend our discussion on how to deal with the Mega Sky Burial.”Thea said pleadingly, “C-Can it wait until after my wedding ceremony? After the ceremony, I’ll swiftly return home to join discussions.”Although Thea was a Caelum Acmean and acknowledged as one of the strongest powerhouses in the Greater Realms, she was very respectful toward the elderly man.“That won’t be poss
James casually examined the token, then put it away.“Dad, who’s this Wyndael? Also, what is the Invincible Sect?” asked Jacopo.James shook his head lightly, expressing he was clueless as well.Jacopo further inquired, “What happened on Planet Desolation?”James briefly shared his experiences on Planet Desolation.After hearing James’ story, Jacopo said solemnly, “A sect that had their hands on a powerful cultivation method like the Primal Mantra must be very potent. It seems they are not a sect to be messed with.”“Forget it,” James brushed the incident aside, stood up, and said, “Focus on managing the Heavenly Court. You don’t need to worry about these things.”Then, he disappeared from the Heavenly Court’s hall in a flash. The next moment, he returned to the village.Thea was sitting on a chair on their porch in a daze. She did not even notice that James had already returned home.“What’s on your mind?” James called out to her.“Ah, it’s nothing.” Thea snapped out of her
“Who’s that?”“Today’s James’ wedding ceremony. How dare someone show up with armed warriors? Does he have a death wish?Everyone inside the hall stared at the group of uninvited guests.Under countless gazes, the middle-aged man walked into the hall. As he stepped forward, his oppressive aura knocked away the powerhouses inside the hall.Only James and Thea stood firmly in place.James stepped forward and said coldly, “Who are you? Today’s our wedding ceremony. If you’re here to attend the ceremony, I warmly welcome you. However, if you’re here to cause trouble, I advise you to turn away immediately. I don’t want to stain my hands with blood on such a joyous occasion.“Hehe.” The middle-aged man chuckled. He turned to Thea and said, “I’ve come to escort you home, Thea.”Thea frowned and said furiously, “Didn’t I already promise to return home after the wedding ceremony? Why are you causing trouble in the Human Race’s Heavenly Court?”The black-robed man said coldly, “I’m afr
James and Thea’s wedding ceremony was unexpectedly put to a halt.After the wedding ceremony was canceled, the powerhouses that came to attend gradually left the Supreme Palace.Only those that were family and friends to James stayed back.James sat at the threshold of the Supreme Palace and sorrowfully looked into the distance.“Dad.” His children stood behind him worriedly.James stood up and said, “I’m fine. Go ahead and take your leaves. I’d like to be alone for a while.”“Alright.”The remaining crowd dispersed and left.Soon, the Supreme Palace became quiet. However, Sienna refused to leave.She walked over to James and sat down beside him. Then, she followed his gaze into the distance.“James,” Sienna’s sweet voice called out.“What do you think is Thea’s background?” asked James.Sienna rolled her eyes and said, “How would I know? I hoped you’d marry me after the wedding ceremony as well. Who would’ve expected such a turn of events?”Sienna always remembered James’
James’ voice resounded throughout the area.Swoosh!!!A ray of light emerged and manifested into a middle-aged man. He looked at James and said calmly, “ Teresa is not here, so we’re not accepting any guests.”Instead of leaving, James asked, “When will she return?”James was not sure whether Teresa was the woman that saved him, but he could tell she was most likely the owner of this place.“I’m not sure.”“Then, I’ll wait here.”“Do as you please.”After the brief conversation, the middle-aged man disappeared.James was desperate to learn more about the Greater Realms. He wanted to inquire more about the Invincible Sect and Thea’s family. The only person he could ask was the owner of this place.James remained outside the mountain gate, waiting for Teresa’s return.Inside the spiritual mountain, a woman sat in the highest seat in a palace hall.A middle-aged man appeared inside the hall, knelt on one knee, and said, “Ms. Teresa, James has come to visit. He’s waiting outsid
Teresa’s explanation about the Sky Burial differed from what James had learned.“What exactly is going on? So many powerhouses died during the first Sky Burial, but you call it the Chaos Heavenly Path’s defense mechanism? How does this count as protecting the Greater Realms’ living beings?” asked James.Teresa avoided the question and instead tried to change the topic. “Let’s discuss the Invincible Sect and Thea’s family first.”James listened attentively.Teresa explained, “Since ancient times, two Sky Burials have happened. The Greater Realms have existed for a long time, and many powerhouses have risen. Many of them refused to participate in the battles of the Sky Burial and used various ways to avoid the harm caused by the Sky Burial.“The Invincible Sect and Thea’s family had survived the Sky Burial Age. They’ve lived in seclusion and never involved themselves in the affairs of the Greater Realms. Very few people know about them. Reaching a higher cultivation rank and achievi
James activated the Blithe Omniscience and appeared in the Stone Universe’s Desolate Galaxy. Shortly after, he arrived on Planet Desolation.Like before, the planet was guarded by a powerful ancient formation. Ordinary cultivators that are not familiar with these kinds of formations were unable to decipher it.However, it was nothing to James.James easily broke through the formation and entered Planet Desolation. Then, he headed toward the Desolate Grand Canyon.The Desolate Grand Canyon was left behind from the second Sky Burial. It was a heavenly abyss with an unknown space within it. Nobody knew what was hidden within it.James, on the other hand, had a rough guess on what it could be.He suspected the Invincible Sect, a powerful sect that had existed since before the second Sky Burial, had been hiding with the Desolate Grand Canyon.It was possible the Invincible Sect might have even survived the first Sky Burial Age.James approached the Desolate Grand Canyon and looked a
The Invincible Sect was a terrifying existence.James could sense the aura of their powerhouses. He knew these cultivators could easily wipe out the Doom Race and Human Race altogether.Under Wyndael’s guidance, James arrived in a hall atop a spiritual mountain.Wyndael sat in the highest seat, and his temperament shifted drastically.Previously, he was rather friendly toward James. But now, he looked like an invincible powerhouse, and his body emitted a terrifying aura.“Let me formally introduce myself, James. My name is Wyndael Klein, and I’m the Invincible Sect’s Leader.”James was slightly taken aback. It never crossed his mind that Wyndael was the Invincible Sect’s Leader.He quickly recomposed himself, clasped his hands, and said, “It’s an honor to meet you, Sir Wyndael.”“You don’t need to be so formal.”Wyndael waved his hand and dispersed his terrifying aura, returning to his previous casual demeanor. He descended from the highest seat and walked over to James. Then,
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
