“The Theos Sect’s leader wants to see me?”The Theos Sect’s leader placed second on the previous Chaos Ranking. Although he was ranked lower than the Hazeaf District’s Leader, Lucius, he would not necessarily lose in a life-and-death duel.James was puzzled and wondered why the Theos Sect’s Leader would want to see him since they had never met.Waleria nodded lightly and said, “Yeah. Come with me.”After a brief hesitation, James followed Waleria.He was led to a spiritual mountain in the Hazeaf Sect. The environment had abundant Empyrean Spiritual Energy and mysterious fruits. Atop the mountain was a manor.A man sat inside the living room of the manor. In front of him was a stone table with a bizarre-looking Chessboard of Heaven and Earth.“I’ve brought James, Sir.”Walria walked into the living room with James.James looked at the Theos District’s Leader.The Theos District’s leader was relatively young. He had an ordinary appearance but emitted a very oppressive aura.Ja
James sat in a lotus position on the city wall and pensively looked at the army in the distance.After a while, James suddenly had an idea. He converted everything around him into inscription rules, including the city and soldiers. The complex inscriptions gradually converted into their simplest form.James stood up, stretched out his hand, and tapped the air. The inscriptions immediately collapsed, and he returned to reality. He found himself still sitting on the stone chair.Crack!!!When he regained consciousness, the chessboard on the stone table shattered. The Theos District’s Leader suffered a backlash, and his body was knocked away, almost falling to the floor.Sedris Caballero, the Theos District’s leader, sat upright and clapped. He looked at James and admiringly said, “Impressive. I was wondering why I couldn’t see through you and why I couldn’t completely integrate you into my chessboard. So it seems you’re a player and not a chess piece.”“What are you talking about
James wanted to obtain the Theos District’s sacred scroll. He even thought about asking Waleria to show it to him. Now that the opportunity was right before him, he did not want to miss it.“Sure.” Sedris agreed without any hesitation.Their sacred scroll was very mysterious, and the inscriptions within it had many changes. He had studied it for a long time but could only grasp the basics. He never successfully cultivated Theos Power. Despite that, he used the sacred scroll to create other Supernatural Powers.In the past, he had exchanged sacred scrolls with the other district leaders before. After reading all of the nine sacred scrolls and combining them, he still could not comprehend them. Therefore, Sedris was confident James would not be able to learn anything from the sacred scroll. The trade was worth it.A ray of light appeared in Sedris’ palm and slowly materialized into a scroll. He handed it to James and said, “You can return it to me after the Hazeaf Gathering.”James
“I see.” Sedris fell into thought. After a while, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, you’re dismissed. I need to study the sword technique thoroughly.”Waleria turned around and left.Meanwhile, James left the Hazeaf Sect. Then, he headed out of the Hazeaf Universe.James went to the Endlos Void and activated the power of his Time Path. He appeared in the River of Time and went to a point in the past. He planned to cultivate and prepare for the Hazeaf Gathering.He had already cultivated Chaos Power, Verde Power, Eternal Power, and Kapron Power.Now that he had obtained the Theos District and Welkin District’s sacred scrolls, that would make six powers. He only had four more sacred scrolls to collect.However, James knew the sacred scrolls were extraordinary existences.The force birthed from combining two powers with the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra was already extraordinary. He could not imagine how horrifying the force created by fusing six powers would be.James m
James drifted along the River of Time and soon arrived at where he came from. He jumped out and appeared in the Endlos Void outside the Hazeaf Universe.As soon as he left the River of Time, the Karma Power he had been suppressing immediately dispersed. Although the Karma Power had disappeared, it had already corroded his body. He had several internal injuries. Even worse, some Karma Power had contaminated his bones, flesh, and blood.James stood in the Endlos Void. After sensing his body’s condition, he quickly urged his powers to refine the Karma Power. The process only lasted seconds.After absorbing the Karpma Power, James returned to the Hazeaf Sect.There was only less than a hundred years before the Hazeaf Gathering. Powerful cultivators from all over the Endlos’ Nine Districts had gathered inside the Hazeaf Sect, waiting for the event to begin. Everyone was eager to compete for a spot on the two rankings.Time passed day by day.The day for the Hazeaf Gathering finally
“Also…”Lucius paused before continuing, “Every district in the Endlos’ Nine Districts has a sacred scroll. The Nine Heavens Scroll is in my hands. I spent ages studying it and have comprehended the signature skill, Crepe Myrtle Energy of Hazeaf.”His words shocked everyone.“A sacred scroll?”“So it seems Sir Lucius comprehended the Crepe Myrtle Energy of Hazeaf from the sacred scroll.”The powerhouses discussed amongst themselves.Lucius smiled and said, “Whoever enters the top three of the Boundless Ranking in this gathering will see the sacred scroll of Hazeaf. I will also take them in as my disciple and guide them.”Lucius’s voice sounded throughout the Hazeaf Sect.“Becoming the disciple of the strongest powerhouse in Endlos is undoubtedly a terrifying feat.”“Becoming the disciple of the strongest powerhouse in Endlos isn’t the main point. What’s important is the Crepe Myrtle Energy of Hazeaf. Sir Lucius only became the strongest powerhouse in Endlos because of it.”“I
The inscriptions only explained a little about the history of the ancient battlefield.They simply stated that it was a very ancient battlefield. The history of the battlefield was a mystery. Besides that, the battlefield had many fortunes. If one was lucky and obtained a fortune, one would take off.The ancient battlefield was not always open to the public.There was a very evil power residing within the ancient battlefield. The evil power would only weaken at a specific time. If a powerhouse entered the battlefield before it opened, he would not be able to resist the evil power and would corrode, even if he were a peerless powerhouse.At this moment, a passage appeared in the sky above the Hazeaf Sect.“Fellow cultivators.”Lucius’ voice was loud.“The passage to the ancient battlefield has opened. Theoretically, powerhouses of any cultivation rank can enter. Even a powerhouse of the Chaos Rank can go in and look for providences and fortunes. One can even find the secret of th
Now, James was sure that the ancient battlefield existed before the birth of the ten districts.The ancient battlefield was a battlefield left behind by the powerhouses of this area after fighting against the Extraterrestrial Demons before the birth of Endlos.James had some vague understanding of its history.He recalled Emperor Raiah, who was mentioned by Zeno and the monk.Zeno once said that the peace of Endlos was all thanks to Emperor Raiah. Without Emperor Raiah, the Endlos’ Nine Districts would not exist.What was Emperor Raiah like?James only read simple records in a few inscriptions. Aside from the records, no living being in the nine districts knew of the existence of Emperor Raiah.After Emperor Raiah brought peace, created the ten districts, and left behind the ten sacred scrolls, where did he go?All of this was unknown.James took a deep breath and stopped his thoughts from running wild.He walked forward.According to the records in the inscriptions given by
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
