A powerful force morphed out from the door and sucked James inside the hall.After James entered the hall, the door closed behind him, and the restrictive seal resurfaced.Outside the door, Waleria and Saachi exited their respective time formations. The two stood before the door and looked at each other in confusion.“The Caelum Boundless Rank?” they spoke in unison.Meanwhile, James was inside a vast hall with patterns on the surrounding walls. In the highest seat of the hall was a middle-aged man.“I’ve already consumed half of my energy to open the door. My phantom body’s energy can be replenished with Empyrean herbs or any rare items that contain energy.”James replied, “Got it. I’ll do my best to find Empyrean herbs to maintain your phantom body. I feel more assured about surviving in the Endlos’ Nine Districts with your help.”After speaking, James looked toward the man sitting at the highest seat of the hall with curiosity.The man wore a white robe and looked unsullied
James immediately noticed the disdain and disappointment on the figure’s face. He greeted tentatively, “Sir?”The blurry figure gradually materialized into a physical body. He looked at James puzzledly and asked, “How did you enter the Saber Sect with such a low cultivation base?” The man had set up the formation around the Saber Sect, making it impossible for outsiders to break without tremendous strength. However, a human cultivator at the Permanence Acme Rank had appeared in the Saber Sect’s main hall. Thus, he was incredibly confused by the situation.James replied truthfully, “It’s true I don’t have the strength to break the seal. However, the phantom body of a powerhouse resides inside a space I’ve created. He’s the one that helped me open the seal placed on the door.”“I see,” the man murmured. He looked at James and said, “Although your cultivation base is relatively low, fate brought you here, and it was meant to be. Moreover, your physique is incredibly compatible with t
James immediately asked the Ancestral Blood Master, “Mr. Xrival, the woman you fought previously, Teresa. Do you know anything about her background?”The Ancestral Blood Master’s phantom resided inside the seal within James’ body. His main self had fought with Teresa before, and he was aware of the event. However, he knew very little about her and her clone, Xezal.He replied, “I know of her existence but nothing about her detailed background. From my understanding, Teresa has always been a mysterious existence. She had appeared in the Doom Race before and was the Chaos Master’s teacher. After the first Sky Burial, she vanished. However, a mysterious person appeared in the Doom Race and served as the personal maid of the Doom Race’s Patriarch.”James said thoughtfully, “You know about the Chaos District’s Leader, the Endlos Leader, and the Endlos’ hidden tenth district, the Chaos District. As a powerhouse that existed before the first Sky Burial, you must also know about some milest
James noticed the change in himself and immediately beamed with a bright smile. After comprehending the Universal Sword Art, he had gone through a complete transformation, and his whole body was filled with potent Path Powers.The Path Powers were not from his cultivation efforts but were generated from his own body.James exclaimed, “So this is the real power of the Thousand Paths Holy Body.”His whole body exuded the Path Powers of heaven and earth without him having to mobilize them.After James’ Thousand Paths Holy Body had been awakened, his Omniscience Path had also improved and reached the late stage of the Ninth Stage. In addition, his physical strength, bloodline power, and Spiritual Power had also skyrocketed.James sensed the changes because of the Thousand Paths Holy Body and exclaimed, “Amazing.”The Ancestral Blood Master said in surprise, “I thought having a Thousand Paths Holy Body’s benefit was only making it easier for one to cultivate the various Paths of heave
He touched his nose awkwardly and said, “Why is everyone looking at me?”Waleria stared at him and said, “Who the hell are you? What else are you hiding from me?”James smiled and said, “What do you mean? I’m not hiding anything. Have you already recovered your strength?”Waleria observed James for a while but could not figure him out. She gave up and shook her head lightly in response to his question. Then, she said, “How could I recover so easily? Still, I’m already much better than a hundred thousand years ago!”James turned to Qreeola and asked, “What about you? Have you recovered from your injuries?”Qreeola also shook her head and replied, “No, but it won’t affect my combat strength. We can’t waste any more time. It’s already been a hundred thousand years. We must leave as soon as possible to stop Yhala’s resurrection.”James looked toward Saachi. After a hundred thousand years of not seeing her, the aura emitting from her had become even colder. She stood aside like an ice
The Daemonium Palace was situated atop a spiritual mountain in the central region of the Yhala Realm.Saachi led James to the Daemonium Palace.Inside the Daemonium Palace’s main hall was a man sitting in the highest seat.Yvan casually played with a sharp dagger that emitted cold energy.Saachi entered the hall, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, “I’ve come to see you, Sir.”James also knelt behind her without saying a word.Yvan looked at Saachi kneeling inside the hall and said casually, “Where have you gone for the past hundred thousand years?”Saachi immediately replied, “I was injured in a previous battle and had to find a place to recuperate. I rushed back to see you right after recovering.”“I see.” Yvan did not doubt her words.He immediately ordered, “The powerhouses trapped inside the Yhala Realm have learned of our plans and are trying to destroy Yhala’s body. I need you to head to the spiritual mountain in the central region and assist the Deputy Leader to
James stood up but lowered his head, avoiding Zeloneth’s gaze.Zeloneth said casually, “The Deputy Leader personally laid down the formation. With your cultivation rank, you might not be able to understand it even after cultivating for eons.”“Yes, of course.” James nodded repeatedly.“It’s safe here. Go patrol the other areas.”After Zenloneth left a few words, he crossed his hands behind his back and left the area.James did not stay any longer and quickly left to patrol the other areas. After completing his patrol, James returned to his residence. As soon as he returned home, Saachi came to see him. She pushed open his door, walked into the residence, and entered his room. Saachi set up a formation to block out other cultivators’ detection and asked, “How’s the progress?”James sat on a chair beside her and said solemnly, “The formation is powerful and profound. My cultivation base is limited, so I need a bit more time.”“Is this going to work?” Saachi was slightly impa
James’ goal was to disrupt Yvan’s plan and save the cultivators that entered the Yhala Realm.Although many of them had died tragically in the past 100,000 years, there were still survivors.James wanted to save as many as possible, even if it was only one life.Saachi, on the other hand, wanted to replace Yhala’s corpse to absorb the deceased cultivators’ energy to get stronger so she could return to Aeternus District for revenge.James led Saachi to the formation.The distant battle had caused mass destruction, and the Yhala Realm was on the verge of collapsing.However, Yhala had set up a formation around the Yhala Realm before her death, which prevented it from complete destruction.Meanwhile, the central region where her body was stored had a formation, making it a relatively safe zone.Saachi said impatiently, “Hurry up.”When with James, Saachi used her real name. However, she maintained her identity as Salinese Maignes in the Daemonium Sect.James stood before the for
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
