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,
When the time came for the second Sky Burial, Wyndael chose to sit out as well.“It may be for resources or just pure invasion. When a new space or realm is discovered, invasion is a must. Rumor says that during the third Sky Burial when the Chaos ends, a Chaos Core will be left behind. When one consumes the Chaos Core, one can enter the Chaos Rank. Perhaps the Chaos Rank doesn’t exist in the outer bounds. Maybe it’s to pursue a higher cultivation rank.”Since ancient times, there had been two Sky Burials. Many legends were left behind.Some were passed down by word of mouth, while some were recorded in the books left behind by ancestors.Whether or not the legends were true, no one knew.Only one thing was certain—there was space outside the Chaos.In that space, powerhouses were trying to invade the Chaos.The only chance for the powerhouses in the outer bounds to invade the Chaos was to wait until there were enough powerhouses in the Chaos so the aura would be strong enough t
Wyndael told James a secret.James was not from this Chaos. He came from another realm.James could not accept this fact.“A few powerhouses guessed that you were the Life Power left behind by a fallen powerhouse of the outer bounds. You could reincarnate safely because the powerhouses here wanted to use you as a threat to the powerhouses of the outer bounds once you successfully reincarnated.“I don’t agree with those powerhouses. I don’t care what your identity was before. You’re now a living being of this Chaos. I believe that your heart is here and not in the outer bounds. You wouldn’t help the outer bounds attack this Chaos, right?”Wyndael looked at James.For a moment, James had no idea how to respond to the question.After pondering for a while, he said, “I don’t know about the rest, but I know my home is in the Human Realm. My family and friends are in the Human Universe. I won’t stand by and watch the outer bounds attack this Chaos.”Wyndael smiled, satisfied.He was
Thea was James’ wife. He had to find her.“Whatever floats your boat.”Wyndael did not force James to stay back since James was already a true powerhouse. His actions had to be carefully weighed.“Is Thea’s family powerful?” James asked.Wyndael nodded his head and said, “They’re quite strong. Although Thea’s father is also a human, he was a devil before the first Sky Burial Age. He was my teacher’s enemy. My teacher was not his match. Only by entering the Caelum Acme Rank and comprehending the Blithe Omniscience was my teacher able to beat him. Nevertheless, my teacher couldn’t kill him. When the Sky Burial arrived, my teacher was finally strong enough to kill him.”Hearing that made James’ expression darken.If Thea’s father could crush Yardos in the past, he must have been a terrifying existence.“So, are you still going to go there?” Wyndael asked.“Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” James said, “After all, Thea is my wife. Even if her father is a devil, he’s our child’s grandfath
James now had a rough understanding of Thea’s father.Thea’s father’s name was unknown, but he had a nickname. He was known as the Ancestral Blood Master.At the same time, he was the founder of the Blood Mantra.The Blood Mantra was a supreme secret art from the first Sky Burial Age. It was one of the Ten Great Ancient Signature Skills. It was on par with the Blithe Omniscience and the Chaos Sacred Art.Xezal once said that if each of the Ten Great Ancient Signature Skills was cultivated to its extreme, it would be on the same level as the rest. The skills were just in different fields.Thea’s father did many evil things in the first Sky Burial Age, earning him a bad reputation. He was constantly being suppressed by the righteous powerhouses.Nonetheless, he was powerful. There were only a few powerhouses who could suppress him in that age.Yardos was one of them.When Yardos was at his peak, he could even kill Thea’s father.However, that was during the first Sky Burial.No
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
