Logically, Saachi who was now an elder within the Daemonium Sect, should have apprehended James and delivered him to the sect to raise her standing. Nonetheless, the weight of her past emotions weighed down her conscience. James had rescued her once before, an act of kindness that she remembered deeply. Consequently, she made the decision to part ways there and then.James’ expression turned solemn. He had thought Waleria was deceased, arriving here solely to confirm this grim fact. Now, upon discovering that she was actually alive, he found himself hesitating. He was undecided whether to undertake a rescue mission.After thorough contemplation, he decided to refrain from acting impulsively. Being aware that the Daemonium Sect harbored numerous powerhouses, intervening could lead to an uncertain outcome. Therefore, he chose to bide his time within the universe, searching for a peaceful planet. Once he settled upon a serene location, his plan was to cultivate in seclusion for a whil
Although he had lost count of his attempts, he repeatedly climbed to his feet. All he could grasp was that the seal within him was wreaking havoc inside his body. This left him covered in wounds, both internal and external. Every part of his body was damaged by the ordeal.“Must I truly reach the same rank as the Ancestral Blood Master to break this seal?” After countless attempts, James began to consider giving up. “I’ll try one last time,” James exhaled deeply. At that precise moment, he stepped into the realm of the Omniscience Path. In this heightened state, his Spiritual Power surged, and his veins pulsed with a newfound serenity and unbridled power. Without a moment’s hesitation, he activated the Blood Mantra.“Break!” James roared ferociously. He infused his entire body with strength and fueled it with his blood vein established by the Blood Matra. He transformed the energy into a multitude of sharp blades. These blades of energy coursed through his veins, relentlessly str
The Ancestral Blood Master’s phantom was strong, but it could not last in prolonged battles. It could only fight for about a day before it dissipated. However, by avoiding combat, it could conserve its energy over an extended period. Empowered with this insight, James devised a strategic plan. Previously, he had been unable to rescue Waleria. Now, with the assistance of the Ancestral Blood Master’s phantom, he held a slight hope in his heart. “I’m going to save Waleria,” James declared.With a subtle nod, the Ancestral Blood Master’s phantom responded, “Let’s do it.”At this, James was momentarily taken aback. He had expected the Ancestral Blood Master’s phantom to refuse. He did not know much about the Ancestral Blood Master, having only encountered the older man a few times. However, he knew the notorious reputation of Ancestral Blood Master as an infamous demon whose malevolent name echoed far and wide.To his astonishment, the phantom unexpectedly supported his plan. It appe
Over hundreds of the Theos Sect’s members had gathered in the hall. “What do we do now?” “Our sect leader has been in closed-door meditation for a long time. Regardless of what happened in the outside world, the sect leader had never once paused nor ended his meditation. However, the Grand Sect Elder’s life is in danger now. What should we do about this?” “We received news that the Grand Sect Elder is severely wounded and that she had fallen into the hands of Yvan Xorath, the leader of the Daemonium Sect. The Daemonium Sect currently possesses the runes to access the Yhala Realm. They even announced that they would unlock the entrance of the Yhala Realm in the near future and that anyone who’s interested may even enter the realm freely.” “We should gather our best fighters and take down the Daemonium Sect immediately!” While the discussion grew more heated, a deep voice resounded through the hall. “Please calm down, everyone.” A man who seemed to be in his 40s walked into
The leader of the Theos District was deemed the second most powerful cultivator in all of Endlosʼ Nine Districts. By using the chessboard, the man could make predictions about the future. He could even use it to control or influence a person’s actions. For instance, even the battle between Waleria and Yvan was the work of the old man. However, something unexpected happened for the very first time. ‘When I placed the piece representing James Caden on the board, it shattered and destroyed the board almost instantly. I have no control over the incidents happening at the moment, and I can’t tell what Waleria’s final fate will be. ‘I couldnʼt even look into the future of the Theos District or the Endlosʼ Nine Districts. All of this happened because of James Caden’s appearance,’ the old man thought. Partholon had an inkling of what the old manʼs words meant since he was aware of the chessboard’s extraordinary functions. He had a worried expression on his face. “What should we do
At the same time, members of the Daemonium Sect were traveling from all across the Endlosʼ Nine Districts to the Daemonium Palace. All of them gathered in a huge hall inside the black palace. Not long after everyone had arrived, a man with an impressive aura materialized on the podium. It was Yvan. At the moment, Yvan could be considered to be the second strongest cultivator in the Theos District as he came after the Theos Districtʼs current leader in terms of power. Even Waleria, the Theos Sectʼs Grand Sect Elder, was no match for him. “Greetings to the Sect Leader!” All of the Daemonium Sectʼs members kneeled on one knee and called out almost simultaneously. “You may all rise.” Yvan raised his hand and gestured for his followers to stand up. Just then, Zeloneth escorted Waleria into the hall. Even though tens of thousands of years had passed, Waleriaʼs powers and cultivation rank remained the same since her cultivation base had been sealed ever since she was captured. Des
Waleria felt extremely confused. She could not discern Yvanʼs purpose for doing all this no matter how hard she tried. Yvan had taken a seat in a chair placed on the podium. His gaze drifted across the members of the Daemonium Sect before him. Yvan could also sense the aura of countless cultivators waiting outside the Daemonium Palace. Most of these cultivators had reached the Caelum Acme Rank whereas only a small fraction of them were Terra Acme Rank cultivators. Eventually, Yvan directed his gaze at Waleria. His face broke into a smile. “Waleria, you can tell us now where the Yhala Realm is, right?” Waleria had decided to share the information about the Yhala Realmʼs location early on. It would do her no good to withhold the information since the Daemonium Sect might decide to kill her if she refused to cooperate. “It’s somewhere outside the Theos District,” Waleria replied. “Lead the way.” Yvanʼs smile broadened. Waleria nodded, albeit reluctantly. Then, she guided Zel
‘Even though the seal in my body has been lifted, I donʼt have the power to escape here in one piece. I donʼt stand a chance against Yvan, whose powers and abilities are in their prime. If I try to make a run for it, he can instantly end my life with just one blow.’ Waleria fretted. Then, she turned around and looked toward the Daemonium Palace. Waleria could see numerous powerhouses from the Theos District that had followed the palace and arrived there. Waleria heaved a long sigh and cast the runes into the air. As the runes slowly disintegrated, countless lines started appearing in the space before Waleria one after another. She activated the Supernatural Power the next instant. In a flash, the myriad of lines began forming a shape resembling a huge universe. According to various rumors, the Yhala Realm was a world created by Yhala Samaris. At the same time, it was also its creatorʼs final resting place. “It’s the Yhala Realm!” There were gasps of amazement and excitement
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
