“So I need to reach the highest floor?”James learned from Zeno that the Endlos Heart was hidden on the highest floor of the Boundless Pagoda. He searched his surroundings but could not find a way to ascend to the next floor.He leaped into the air, examined the black ceiling, and gently pushed on it. However, there was no response.“This is strange.” James frowned.He began to brainstorm ways to climb up the pagoda. After various attempts, he was still stuck on the first floor.James walked out of the Boundless Pagoda and inspected the building. He discovered the Boundless Pagoda seemed to have nine floors.“This isn’t making any sense.” His brows furrowed tightly.From the outside of the pagoda, it had nine floors. However, James could only enter the first floor. He could not find a way to access the second floor. The Endlos Heart was supposed to be hidden on the highest floor. Therefore, he must reach the ninth floor to acquire the Endlos Heart.“Oh, right!” James suddenly t
James already knew the powerhouse that survived from ancient times were cowards. “What exactly are these Extraterrestrial Demons?” asked James.The silhouette replied solemnly, “They are from outside of the Endlos. “I don’t have much time, so I must make this quick. The Infinity Steles are great treasures. After Emperor Raiah suppressed the Extraterrestrial Demons, he transformed the Boundless Pagoda, giving it ten forms. The more forms you unlock, the stronger the pagoda becomes. The tenth form is the pagoda’s most potent state. I hope the Boundless Pagoda becomes useful to you.”His voice gradually weakened. Soon, the silhouette disappeared along with his voice.James took a deep breath. He was not expecting the Boundless Pagoda to have different forms. The current pagoda was not even in its first form. Then, James activated one of his powers. However, the pagoda remained the same.While James was still puzzled, a few mysterious scriptures appeared on the walls. He scrutini
James realized he might have been wrong and that the beginning of time most probably meant when the Endlos was born.He thought of the man he met in the 108th Infinity City. Back then, he wanted to travel to the beginning of time but was stopped. The man claimed he was too weak and said they would fight side by side in the future.James scanned the silent city, searching for the mysterious man’s whereabouts. “You’re back.” Suddenly, a voice resounded. Then, a blurry silhouette appeared and gradually formed into a substantial person.During their first encounter in the past, James was unable to see the silhouette’s appearance. However, he could now clearly see that it was a man who looked to be in his forties. The man looked rather ordinary and wore a simple robe. Yet, he had a domineering presence.James asked tentatively, “Who are you?”The man replied smilingly, “I’m the person guarding the last Infinity City. My job is to wait for the destined person to come so that we can tr
James returned to the Chaos District’s Human Universe. He hovered in the void and looked down at the universe. He was surprised to find so many secrets hidden within the Human Universe.After sensing the Human Universe, James found that the Dark World had already merged with it.He located the Dark World and tried to scan it with his Zen. However, the area was too large, and his Zen could not penetrate every corner of it.James murmured, “The deepest part of the Dark World is probably connected to the dark zone in the depths of the Endlos. I sensed an oil lamp before, which Zeno concluded was a guiding light to avoid getting lost in the darkness.”He tried to search for the guiding light. However, he found no traces of a guiding light within the range his Zen could reach.James hovered above the Human Universe and thought about everything the Human Universe had gone through in the past. He also tried to recall everything he had experienced, wanting to find any information he had o
“Huh?” James was startled. He cast the Blithe Omniscience and left the Tribulation World. The next moment, he appeared in a bizarre intersection of darkness and light. From a distance, James saw a massive city in the sky that looked incredibly majestic. However, Tribulation Clouds that contained potent force hovered above the city.James observed the grand city. There were a few words carved on the city wall—Tribulation City.He walked closer and immediately sensed a terrifying force coming from the city.“Who’s there?” An oppressive voice resounded, and then a man with tattered black armor appeared.James could not see the man’s appearance clearly as his scattered hair covered his face. The man was surprised to see James. He moved the hair covering his face and revealed his appearance. He had tan skin and a thick beard.“It’s you?” The man recognized James.James was also shocked to see the person in front of him. The man exuded a powerful aura that greatly surpassed the Anc
James stood on Tribulation City’s wall and looked into the distance but could only see darkness.The middle-aged man with tattered armor waved his hand, and the black mist dispersed. Ahead of them was a slightly damaged mountain region, and countless skeletal remains were scattered all over the area.Among the skeletal remains were of humans, but most belonged to monsters.James could see a group of unknown monsters densely packed together in the deepest part of the ancient battlefield and could even vaguely hear the monster’s roars.“I was right.” James took a deep breath. He came to the city with speculations, and the sight had proved him right.James asked solemnly, “What are the origins of these monsters?”The middle-aged man replied, “They are from beyond the Endlos. These monsters are being constantly manufactured, and wiping them out is impossible. The mastermind producing them has to be taken out. In the deepest part of the Tribulation World is Tribulation City, which exi
James knew it was necessary to use whatever time he had left to cultivate. He planned to return to the Boundless Battlefield and participate in the competition for the Boundless Ranking to make a name for himself. Then, he had to obtain the last four sacred scrolls.The two left the Chaos District, returning to the Boundless Battlefield.…During the past few years, the Boundless Battlefield was very lively.“Hafgan, who ranked first in the previous Boundless Ranking, was trounced by a powerhouse from an ancient Orthodox.“The top ten on the Boundless Ranking had been defeated by powerhouses from ancient Orthodoxes that had reemerged.”“Who would’ve thought these ancient Orthodoxes had such powerful cultivators? Even at the same cultivation rank, their strength is much superior.”…Everyone in the Boundless Battlefield discussed the powerhouses of ancient Orthodoxes.Boom!!!A potent force struck a dilapidated city and instantly demolished it.A man fell from the sky and cr
Waleria had coincidentally seen Wynton cultivating once and noticed he had cast some kind of Supernatural Power that significantly enhanced his aura. Therefore, Waleria knew Wynton had other means.“You win. I don’t want to fight,” Wynton surrendered and said, “I’m not a powerhouse, nor am I on the Boundless Ranking. Killing me isn’t going to give you much satisfaction. You should fight those on the Boundless Ranking or other powerhouses from other Orthodoxes. What’s the point of fighting someone like me?”“You’re very sensible, so I’ll give you a chance. If you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, I’ll spare your life.” The man wore a taunting smile.Wynton’s face immediately darkened. He would never kneel before someone else. He was a prodigy in the Chaos District and was invincible against those at the same cultivation rank as him. Even though he had lost to James, it was because he wanted to avoid using lethal attacks against James.The man smiled playfully and asked, “What’s
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
