Waleria had contributed significantly, but James wanted to take full credit. Despite expressing her contempt, she did not stop James.Saachi said, “We’ve already wiped out one of the Malvada Sect’s bases and captured Laduni. It won’t take long before their headquarters hear the news. We should get moving as soon as possible.”James took out a list and reviewed it.“Our next target will be this elder.”…There were many powerful Malvada Sect elders on his list. However, they would not be difficult opponents now that their biggest problem, Laduni, had been captured. After dealing with these elders, they would go after Zula. Without the elders, Zula would be much easier to deal with.The group had a brief discussion and then left the collapsed universe, heading for the next targeted base. The person watching over it was a powerful elder of the Malvada Sect.The Malvada Sect had established many bases to avoid being completely wiped out by the Verde Academy. However, the Verde Acade
After disguising themselves, they boldly headed to the Tarbitha Sect. Shortly after, they arrived outside the sect’s mountain gate. In the distant mountain range was a stone tablet with the words “Tarbitha Sect” engraved on it.The Tarbitha Sect held a very high reputation within the Tarbitha Universe. When the two appeared, the disciples posted to guard the mountain gate came to them and questioned, “State your names! How dare you try to infiltrate the Tarbitha Sect?”Following the cold shout was a dazzling Sword Energy. However, the Sword Energy was met with a powerful force and immediately crumbled in front of James and Wynton.James cupped his fists and said, “The two of us are brothers. We’re here to join the Tarbitha Sect.”Wynton followed up, saying, “My younger brother and I heard that the Tarbitha Sect is incredibly powerful and highly prestigious in this universe. The two of us are rogue cultivators and have been wandering around for some time. We’ve recently decided to f
As soon as the Great Elder left, James and Wynton began discussing telepathically.James said, “There’s definitely something wrong. This place doesn’t look anything like the headquarters of a corrupted sect.”Wynton replied, “Yeah, I was thinking the same. It’s surrounded by abundant Empyrean Spiritual Energy and has no traces of corrupted aura. If it really is the Malvada Sect’s headquarters, it would’ve been impossible for them to completely prevent the aura from leaking out.”The two were puzzled and wondered whether there was a mistake with the Verde Academy’s intel. After a simple exchange, they waited patiently.Meanwhile, a beautiful woman played the piano outside a wooden house deep within a purple bamboo forest at the Tarbitha Sect’s back mountain. The piano’s beautiful notes spread throughout the mountain.The Great Elder came to the wooden house but did not interrupt the woman.Soon, her piece came to an end.The woman asked, “What’s the matter?”The Great Elder cl
James immediately sensed the danger. He grabbed Wynton and cast the Blithe Omniscience to escape. Unfortunately, their opponent was a powerhouse at the Quasi Chaos Rank. Even the powerful Blithe Omniscience was unable to escape her grasp.James and Wynton were surrounded by a powerful force and dragged back into the hall.Boom!They fell to the floor.Zula descended from her seat and looked at them condescendingly. Then, she said disdainfully, “Are you two responsible for destroying my sect’s bases? You two are disciples from the Verde Academy, right? Why would the Headmaster of the Verde Academy send such trash to infiltrate our headquarters?”James was clueless about how they exposed themselves. However, he could only try to deny it.“I’ve no idea what you’re talking about, madam. What do you mean we destroyed your sect’s bases? I didn’t know your sect has other bases. We merely heard about the Tarbitha Sect and wanted to join.”Wynton agreed, saying, “Yeah, it’s as he explain
James and Wynton came to the Tarbitha Sect, planning to sneak in to learn more about the Malvada Sect. However, they were easily captured. Faced with a powerhouse at the Quasi Chaos Rank, the two prodigies, James and Wynton, could not escape.James sat on a chair within the manor, looked at Wynton, and asked, “What should we do now? We can’t use the inscription to notify Waleria.”Wynton frowned and said, “I’m not sure what to do. I wonder how we were identified so quickly. Did you blow our cover?”He looked at James, thinking of how he had hidden his identity well. Therefore, he thought James was the one who exposed them.James shook his head and said, “No, it wasn’t me. Stop blaming me.”“If it wasn’t you, who else could it be? It must’ve been you.”“It wasn’t me!”Swoosh!While they argued, the light ray fell to the ground and materialized into a beautiful woman.James instantly stood up after seeing Zula, not daring to be disrespectful to a powerhouse at the Quasi Chaos
At that moment, a few scenes appeared within the formation. The senior disciple could be seen in the scenes rapidly flashing before his eyes.James spotted Zula within a few scenes and saw how Wael furiously killed millions of Tempris House’s disciples.Wanting to know all the details, James kept going through different events in the past.Crack!!!The Extrapolation Formation exploded. The force struck James, causing him to fall to the ground and spit a mouthful of blood.“What did you find out?” asked Waleria.Waleria had no concern about James’ injuries and only cared about the results.James got up, embarrassed, wiped the blood from his lips, and said, “I was right. Zula is indeed somehow connected to Tempris House. However, I couldn’t find out more details.”Waleria said disdainfully, “What useless information. It seems that you’re not really skilled in the Extrapolation Path.”James retorted, “I’m only at the Terra Acme Rank’s early stage. It’s already impressive enough f
Waleria and Zula were both at the Quasi Chaos Rank. The two stood opposite each other, and extremely terrifying auras emerged from their bodies.The two auras intertwined and formed a terrifying magnetic field. James, Saachi, Wynton, and others around him were pushed backward.Although they had not physically engaged in a fight, they had summoned clones in the Endlos Void. Their fight destroyed an area of the Endlos Void, and the shock waves from their battle were enough to cause thousands of universes to collapse.Boom!!!The two shadowy clones slammed their palms at each other.Zula’s main self stepped backward and spat out a mouthful of blood. The powerful aura from her body also dissipated.Waleria’s face went pale, and she stumbled a few steps backward.Even though their main selves were not engaged in battle, they had released their powers into the Endlos Void to fight.The battle was brief but intense. Waleria had the upper hand against Zula.Zula had spat out blood a
Waleria looked at James disdainfully and said, “You’re so damn strong. I just vomited blood because of you. If someone dared to get close to me, I would’ve torn him into pieces, let alone if they slapped me on the back.”Wynton wanted to laugh but resisted the urge. Saachi also knew of Waleria’s unwillingness to show vulnerability. James did not expose Waleria and saved her some dignity. “I didn’t hurt you, right?”“I’m fine,” Waleria replied calmly.James turned his gaze to Zula in the highest seat. He stood up, clasped his hands, and said, “Please let me formally introduce myself. I’m James Caden, the current Head of Tempris. This is Waleria, Saachi, and Wynton. They are elders of Tempris House.”Zula nodded lightly in response.James sat down and asked, “According to the Verde Academy’s intel, this place is supposed to be the Malvada Sect’s headquarters. I was given the mission to wipe out the Malvada Sect. We’ve already destroyed most of your bases. Wynton and I wanted 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
