Even though James did not acknowledge Waleria as his teacher, the latter treated him as her disciple.James pursed his lips and said, “I didn’t agree to become your disciple. Instead, I want you to be my disciple.”“What a brat.”Waleria could not help but laugh.She was one of the best powerhouses in the Theos Sect, and countless living beings in the Theos District wished to become her disciple. However, now that she was willing to take in someone as her disciple, they were rejecting her.“Alright, let’s take a rest. We’re in for a huge battle in the universe where the Daemonium Sect’s branch is. We need to save our energy.”Without saying anything, Waleria sat down with her legs crossed and began meditating.Meanwhile, James took a seat and looked at Waleria, who was disguised as Felicia, interestingly.They stayed in the manor for ten years.Ten years later, an elder of the Daemonium Sect showed up.The elder was the one who had gone after James and Waleria previously. His
“Alright.”Without any hesitation, Waleria said, “Since you doubt our identities, please enter the Endlos Void with us. You may confirm our identities by engaging in battle.”As she spoke, her body flashed, and she hurried to the Endlos Void.James followed her.Xavyer did not hesitate as well.Soon, they all left the universe and appeared in the Endlos Void.In the Endlos Void, Waleria wore a black dress and made a gesture. Casually, she said, “Mr. Malachi, please begin.”However, Xavyer only glanced at James and said, “I want to fight against Herman. I heard that Herman’s Palm of Destruction is one of a kind. I hope to see it today.”Upon hearing that, Waleria frowned.She knew James’ ability.Even though he was on par with the Caelum Acme Rank, he would be exposed if he fought against a late-stage Caelum Acme Rank powerhouse.Among the Simpson couple, Herman was stronger than Felicia. He was also stronger than Xavyer. If the two dueled, James would be exposed.“Mr. Malac
James did not hide that he was after the benefits.He spoke as if he would expose Waleria if she did not give him what he wanted.“Go ahead.”Waleria was indifferent.She knew James would not expose her.If James was that kind of person, he would not have come here with her and barged into the Daemonium Sect.“If that’s the case…”James stood up and was about to head out the door.Waleria watched him walk toward the door. Just as he was reaching for the door, her body flashed and appeared at the door. She felt helpless.“Alright, you win. What do you want? Tell me.”Smiling as if his plan had succeeded, James said, “I haven’t thought about it. I’ll let you know once I know what I want.”Waleria shook her head and sighed. “You’re asking for too much. I’ve already given you the token. With the token, you can walk freely around the Theos District. When I enter the Chaos Rank, you will also be able to walk freely in the Endlos’ Nine Districts. You truly can’t be satisfied.”Jam
Zeloneth continued, “These runes signify your status. The information about our sect’s headquarters and branches is recorded in the runes. With the runes, you can enter the universes controlled by our sect.”James kept the token. Then, he said, “Thank you, Mr. Gratz. From now on, we shall follow you until the end of our lives.”James immediately expressed his loyalty.After keeping the rune, Waleria smiled and said, “I believe we will have a place in the Daemonium Sect one day.”The deputy leader stood up and said, “There aren’t many rules and restrictions that come from being a member of the sect. The only rule is if an assembly message rings from the rune, you have to go to the assembly point and listen to the order.”When Zeloneth was done speaking, his body disappeared from the main hall.On the other hand, James and Waleria exchanged glances.“Congratulations.”Xavyer walked up to them with a smile and said, “You became elders the moment you entered the sect. That’s a firs
James began to rain on her parade.“Stop it.”Waleria rolled her eyes at James and said, “Stay here for a few years. After that, we’ll use our status as elders to search for information. Once we find out where Yvan is, it will be our time to make a move.”Waleria could sense that the sigil she planted was in this universe.However, at the same time, Yvan was trying to get rid of the sigil she had planted. Currently, the energy of the sigil was weak. It might even be erased completely in hundreds of years.Yvan was a peerless powerhouse. Since the sigil energy was weak, Waleria could not sense his location. Thus, she could only rely on her status as the elder of the Daemonium Sect to search for him.Lazily, James said, “That’s your business. You can do that alone. I’ll be waiting for you here.”Waleria stayed silent.She closed her eyes and began to meditate.Meanwhile, James had other plans.The status of a Daemonium Sect’s elder was high.This universe was bustling. It was
The elders of the Daemonium Sect were equivalent to the top of the pyramid in this universe. If the sects or families wanted a stable foothold in this universe, they had to have support.Meanwhile, the elders of the Daemonium Sect were mysterious. Most of the families and sects could not meet them.Now, Herman wanted to invite all powerhouses to his banquet.To the powerhouses, this was an opportunity.All of them prepared gifts, wanting to please James, who was Herman.James did not know how many powerhouses would come. He also had no idea how many powerhouses would bring gifts.Anyway, he had nothing to do now, and the amount of herbs he could get depended on his fortune.Waleria had been watching all his actions.At the apex of the back mountain, James sat on a rock. Deep in thought, he stared at the scenery in the distance with a heavy expression.Swoosh!A ray of black light appeared.Waleria, wearing a black dress, appeared before James. She glanced at him and reminded
James intentionally spread the news that he got injured during the pursuit of the Theos Sect and that he needed rare Empyrean herbs to recover.Thus, most gifts he received during the banquet on Mount Darkwind were Empyrean herbs.“One Caelum Acme-grade herb.”“Five Terra Acme-grade herbs.”“Forty-eight Permanence Acme-grade herbs.”“Three hundred and sixty Quasi Acme-grade herbs.”“One thousand and four hundred Ninth Stair Macrocosm Ancestral God herbs.”Looking at the list, James smiled brightly.He stared at the eye-catching herbs before him before keeping them in the Space Treasure.With these herbs, his blood vein could reach a higher realm. Even though he could not reach the peak, it would be easy to break the seal left by the Blood Ancestral Master.After putting away the herbs, he went to rest happily.Meanwhile, Waleria did not care much about James. Following the departure of the powerhouses, she too left Mount Darkwind quietly. She went to find out the whereabouts
James waited on Mount Darkwind patiently.He waited for three months.Three months later, Waleria returned and appeared before James.For those three months, James had been meditating.Upon sensing Waleria’s aura, he opened his eyes and jumped from the rock. Appearing before Waleria, he asked, “Did you find anything?”Waleria answered, “In the past months, I’ve traveled to a few flourishing planets in this universe. I tried to sense where Yvan was, but I couldn’t sense him.”James no longer wanted to listen to Waleria. He sat down on the rock again.Waleria spoke up, “However, Zeloneth has appeared. He’s in the main hall of Mount Darkwind right now. He claims that Sir Yvan wants to see us and that there’s a huge matter to discuss.”Upon hearing that, James stood up.Waleria glanced at him and said, “It’s the perfect opportunity. Once Zeloneth takes us to Yvan, I will make a move upon seeing the nebula. You need to be careful. Don’t be caught.”James vowed, “Don’t worry. Even
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
