The other cultivators had also expressed their eagerness to join the operation to rescue James’ family and friends, except for Waleria. The lady sat in her chair with a torn expression on her face. Usually, Waleria was among the first few to agree to these things. Unfortunately, one of the sects involved in the incident this time was the Theos Sect, which was the organization that Waleria belonged to. Waleria even considered Sedris a father figure all along. ‘What should I do now?’ Waleria pondered with a troubled look in her eyes. Yardos knew that Waleria had her concerns. He suggested, “You should stay here and wait for James, Waleria. Inform him about this as soon as he returns.” “Alright.” Waleria smiled bitterly. “Everyone, let’s get ready to depart for Mount Stoyan.” Yardos glanced around the room at the other cultivators with a steady gaze. For their operation to rescue Jamesʼ family and friends, the Chaos Rank cultivators that had volunteered were Yardos, Xrival, Wa
Everyone was curious about Lucius’ current cultivation rank and powers, especially Xezal. Her father was murdered by Lucius. To exact vengeance, Xezal had to first find out and confirm Lucius’ true cultivation rank. Xezal said in a nonchalant manner, “The Chaos Rank has also been split into several rankings. After achieving the Chaos Rank, the cultivator would have to work hard to move into the Chaos Illimita Rank. Next would be the Chaos Transcendere Rank…” She proceeded to explain the five different ranks of the Chaos Rank from the lowest to highest, which were the Chaos Illimita Rank, Chaos Transcendere Rank, Chaos Omnia Rank, Chaos Essencia Rank, and Chaos Completare Rank. Emperor Raiah, who had helped bring peace to the Endlos and created the ten districts, was a cultivator of the Chaos Completare Rank. On the other hand, Wynne Dalganus was able to enter the Chaos Essencia Rank during his time. Xezalʼs father had achieved the late stage of Chaos Illimita Rank before he was
A brief while later, James slowly opened his eyes. The inscriptions of the Dobro Eyes found deep in his orbs were glowing faintly. James was using the opportunity to train and perfect the various skills and abilities he had picked up to this day. After entering the Quasi Chaos Rank, James found new enlightenment in the powers of the Dobro Eyes. The inscriptions in his eyes were swiftly changing and evolving. Countless images were generated and reflected in his eyes every second. James could sense how he had surpassed Saachi in terms of the mastery and potency of the Dobro Eyes’ powers. He was deeply fascinated by the overwhelming powers of his eyes. Soon afterward, the inscriptions in his eyes began to fade. The images that James was seeing before his eyes slowly disappeared along with the inscription. Then, James produced the scroll he had obtained from Byron and started reading it. The cultivation method of the Defying Heavens Art was recorded in the scroll. James had lea
Whilst James tried to master the Defying Heavens Art, he was also working on training his body, bloodline power, and soul. He was hoping to achieve the tenth rank of the Omniscience Path during his closed-door meditation this time. … Whoosh! A group of cultivators had teleported and arrived at the foot of Mount Stoyan. Several familiar faces stood in the front, which included Yardos, Xrival, and Wael. James’ friends, for instance, Wynton and Saachi, were mostly there as well. All of them had grim, steely expressions on their faces. “They are here.” The leader of the Hazeaf District, Lucius, rose from his seat. As he stared into the distance, the man could sense the aura of several skilled cultivators nearby. He turned his gaze toward his comrades inside the hall. “We need to use the formation to subdue James Caden. We shouldnʼt activate the formation unless James makes an appearance here.” Just then, the deafening voice of a man resounded through the air. “Release my da
“Woah, this is interesting.”“There are so many powerhouses gathered here. This is the first time since Emperor Raiah’s era that this many cultivators at the Chaos Rank are engaged in battle .”“I wonder who’s going to win.”Countless powerhouses were paying attention to the battle, secretly observing the situation.The battle started instantly.The Ancestral Blood Master was injured. Fortunately, he had cultivated the Blood Mantra. He urged his bloodline power, and his Life Power grew stronger. His Blood Energy began to churn, and his aura skyrocketed. He quickly cast a Blood Formation, and fresh blood that contained complicated inscriptions seeped from his skin.The Blood Inscriptions instantly fused to form a Blood Formation.Toma was instantly trapped within the Blood Formation and could not immediately break free. The Ancestral Blood Master took the opportunity to attack and injure Toma.Meanwhile, Lucius took the initiative to attack Yardos and Livie.Faced with powerh
The battles had just begun, but the powerhouses at the Chaos Rank were already exerting their full force. The fights were intense, and the outcome was unpredictable.Wynton, Saachi, Wynona, Wyndael, Saewald, and the others stood in the distance. They could not provide any help since countless powerhouses at the Chaos Rank were involved in the battles. If they were to insist on participating, the stronger powerhouses could easily injure or even kill them.At that moment, hundreds of powerhouses appeared and suddenly surrounded them.Wynton said solemnly, “Get ready to fight. Don’t hold back, or else we won’t make it out alive.”Immediately afterward, he unleashed a powerful aura.Wynona, Saewald, Wyndael, and the others quickly mobilized their full strength.“Attack!!!”The hundreds of powerhouses charged at the group, forcing them into battle.In the battlefield in the distance, Lucius was still taking on two opponents. He was furious after consecutively sustaining a few injuri
Even though the Ancestral Blood Master had burned a portion of his Blood Essence to improve his strength, Toma was still overpowering him.At some point in the battle, the Ancestral Blood Master had the upper hand, but he was disadvantaged after Toma cast a Supernatural Power. The Ancestral Blood Master was getting beaten up, sustaining consecutive injuries.Meanwhile, Wael had also displayed his signature skill, Boundless Space.Sedris suffered under the Boundless Space’s crushing force. His speed and powers were significantly restricted. Wael gave him no chance at all and was very careful. His Boundless Space could be shattered if he were to let his guard down. After all, Sedris was a powerhouse at the Chaos Rank for countless years. If Sedris were to break his Boundless Space, he would be left with no other more potent means to fight. Wael attacked relentlessly, casting all of his Supernatural Powers.Sedris was incredibly powerful, but he struggled to counter the Boundless
Except for Yardos, everyone who came on the rescue mission was defeated and sealed inside the Tenfold Purge Formation.Yardos sensed that his comrades had been trapped and wanted to save them. However, Lucius did not give him a chance to leave. Even though Yardos had mastered the Blithe Omniscience, Lucius had his eyes locked onto Yardos.With his comrades being defeated one after another, Yardos did not have enough time to devise a countermeasure.The powerhouses surrounded Yardos instantly.Yardos’ body bloomed with a multicolored halo, and his aura was exceptionally potent. His expression became solemn, knowing he was up against four powerhouses at the Chaos Rank, and amongst them, one had already reached the Chaos Transcendere Rank.Toma approached and said, “Surrender, Yardos. As long as you obediently yield to us, we’ll spare you after James gives us the secrets of Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra and sacred scrolls.”“Haha!!!” Despite being besieged by formidable opponent
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
