”What a bastard.”The men all started rebuking him, staring at Quincy.She was so sexy. So alluring. No wonder James did that.Most men present all thought the same thing, but none had the guts to act upon it.Thea did not believe a word Quentin said. She helped Quincy up. “Is that true, Quin?”“I… I don’t know.”Quincy’s mind was befuddled after ingesting that drug. She did not remember what had happened.All she knew was that James was touching her.She shook her head weakly. “I… I don’t know. I can vaguely remember James picked me up and was groping my back, arms, and legs.”“Pfft~”James burst into laughter.He detoxified her out of kindness. How did it turn into him groping her?“That’s exactly it!” Quentin said. “I went to stop him, but he started beating me up.”“Let’s call the cops.”“Scum like him are what drags society down.”Everyone started chiming in.At that moment, even Quincy grew confused.At first, she thought Quentin was the one that tried to do some
Kian shocked everyone with his kneeling.He was a huge celebrity, popular throughout the world.Almost every woman in both classes loved Kian.Yet now, he was kneeling in front of Thea.Kian was forced into this.He did not want to die.“I was wrong, Ms. Thea,” he pleaded on the ground. “Please forgive me. Just pretend I never said anything.”One of Kian’s fans became annoyed and went up to him to help him up.“What’s wrong with you, Kian? You can’t kneel for her. Your knees are more valuable than that. You’re a huge star! You’re my idol!”“Thea! What did you do to Kian?”They started berating Thea. Their idol was kneeling because of Thea. They were angry now. Quincy, too, looked at Thea in confusion.Thea was the only one that knew what this was about.She shot James a look.James told her he would speak to Kian. Why was Kian now kneeling before her and apologizing profusely?“Honey?’She stared at James.James shrugged. “Don’t look at me. I don’t know why he’s doi
He quit the game and yawned, then went to prepare for bed.At that moment, he felt a wave of murderous intent.He tensed up and snuck to the window, then pulled the curtains open abruptly.He caught a glimpse of someone jumping from the second-floor balcony, who then proceeded to run back towards the mountain.James did not hesitate. He opened the window and jumped, then jumped again when his feet touched the balcony and landed on the parapet, then leaped down several meters to the ground floor immediately after to give chase.James was fast, but the other person was fast, too.James gave chase, all the way to the back of Mount Dragon Fountain.In front of him was now a dense forest.James slowed down and walked forward cautiously, his senses alert as he took in his surroundings.Rustle…The wind blew, sending fallen leaves flying and rustling tree branches.“Who’s there? Show yourself.”James’s voice rang out.At that moment, he jerked his head upwards as he shot a silver
The assassin was powerful and agile, but James was not weak, either.His change in movement was too fast for the assassin to react to in time. By the time she did, it was too late.His kick did not land on her head, but on her body.She was sent flying backward and landed violently against a tree, then slumped to the ground.Spurt! She spat out a mouthful of blood as her head tilted forward.She tried to get back up, but James chased after her. He pinned her down with one foot.The assassin could not move.James bent down to take the mask off.At that moment, she pulled out a dagger from her leg and swung it quickly towards James.However, James was well prepared for this. The moment she moved, a silver needle pricked her in her arm and she went limp, dropping the dagger onto the ground.James smiled blandly and pulled the mask away.The assassin really was a woman.He took some silver needles out and stuck them into the woman, then lifted his leg from her and walked over
He stopped and sat down, then continued to smoke.The assassin opened her eyes slowly and stared at James, who seemed preoccupied.‘Is this really the Black Dragon? They say the Black Dragon doesn’t hesitate when killing people and knew no mercy. Looks like the rumors were wrong.’“Leave.”James shot a glance at her and waved her away.“...”She was stunned.He let her go, just like that?Before coming here, she knew there was only one conclusion for her if she failed to kill him, and that was death.She had not expected that he would spare her.“Y-You’re actually letting me go?” she asked tentatively.“Get lost!” James shouted.The assassin dragged herself to her feet and left.She walked for a few steps, then turned around. James was sitting on a rock, thinking about something.She turned back and stared at James. “Alright, what do you want to know?”James let out a subtle, unnoticeable smile, then lifted his head to look at her. “What, you’re gonna talk now?”“Depend
James stayed in the tree, not making a move.However, he knew that the woman had failed her mission. Nothing awaited her except death.This was perfect. He could have her join him, instead.Nearby, behind a big tree.The assassin still had her hand pressed to her wound, but blood poured out regardless.She had been shot, and it had hit her artery. She did not have much time left.The masked man slowly followed her blood on the ground and arrived at the tree where the assassin was hiding behind.“You know the rules, May. A failed assassination means death, but it also depends on the circumstances. You could have lived if the enemy had not seen your face. You’ve been exposed, so according to our rules, you must die.”The assassin walked away from the tree.Her face was pale as she spoke slowly to the masked man in front of her. “All these years, I’ve done so much for the organization, but just because he saw my face, I have to die? That’s the Black Dragon we’re talking about. Th
“The Dark Castle is the most mysterious assassin organization in the world. They also specialize in training assassins,” May said.James had been in the military for ten years. He had conquered lands and lived his days by the edge of the sword, but organizations like this were something he did not know much about.This piqued his interest. “You say you were one of Dark Castle’s three SSS-ranked assassins. I don’t know what SSS means, but does this mean there are two others as strong as you are?”May nodded. “More or less.”“Who are they?”May shook her head. “I don’t know. Dark Castle has a rule where we all had to wear masks. I’ve never seen any of their faces. Dark Castle also has a rule where you have to complete your mission if you accept it. If you fail, you’ll die in most cases. However, the penalty is circumstantial. There’s also another rule where you have to die if someone sees you without your mask on.”“So, what’s next?” James asked, looking at her. “You can’t return t
Smack! Lorne slapped the underling.There were beautiful women galore, but they could not touch any of them. Things would get messy if they did.Their only targets were James, Thea, and Quincy.He would not mess with anyone else. Otherwise, not even his boss would be able to cover it up if things escalated.“Go turn the electricity back on.”“Got it.”The underling hurried off to turn the electricity back on.In Quincy's room.Lorne looked at Quincy and Thea, both on the bed. Quincy had finished her bath and was lying on the bed in a three-piece pajama set. Thea, meanwhile, was lying sideways on the bed.Lorne could not help but swallow at the sight of these two beautiful women.These two were once the school belles. Back then, he pursued them both but got rejected mercilessly. Who knew they would both fall into his hands ten years later?He walked over to them and admired their bodies.Thea was wearing normal clothes, but Quincy’s three-piece was too alluring.He to
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
