Everyone held something dear to their heart that they would fight to protect. To James, that something was his family and friends.James’ heart was boiling with anger after learning that Lucius, Sedris, Xylus, and Toma had captured his wife and children.Henrik comforted him, saying, “Don’t worry, James. Let’s go to Mount Stoyan and destroy those bastards.”Byron glanced at Henrik. He was clueless about Henrik’s background and the technique he had used. However, the Diablo Sect’s Grand Partriarch’s fear of him was enough to prove his strength.Despite knowing Henrik was exceptionally strong, Byron still threw in a reminder. “It’s better to be more careful. Previously, several powerhouses had shown up on Mount Stoyan, including Yardos, the Ancestral Blood Master, Zula, and a few cultivators at the Caelum Boundless Rank. Everyone else was captured apart from Yardos, who fled with serious injuries.”James took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.“Thanks for the reminder. I know wh
Henrik immediately disagreed, saying, “I’m really powerful now, James. No matter who our opponents are or what kind of formation they have, I’ll be able to suppress them.”Henrik was confident in his strength. He might not be invincible in the Chaos Battlefield after gaining a preliminary understanding of the Grand Purge Formation. Still, there were only a handful of cultivators that could stand against him.James took a deep breath and said, “Do as I say. They simply want to know the cultivation method of the sacred scrolls. I need you to get Thea and the others out of Mount Stoyan so I don’t have to worry about their safety. As for Lucius and those that captured them…“I’ll guarantee they won’t leave Mount Stoyan alive.”James’ expression darkened, and his face was full of hostility.Henrik asked, “Are you sure about this? Your opponents are several powerhouses at the Chaos Rank. They are leaders of major forces and districts.”James replied confidently, “Don’t worry.”Waleria
Others may not have been able to recognize the Tenfold Purge Formation, but Henrik could. He quickly communicated with James telepathically, saying, “Although they managed to set up a Tenfold Purge Formation, it’s incomplete. The Tenfold Purge Formation requires the power of the Ten Districts’ Heavenly Paths. Even though the formation they’ve deployed isn’t complete, it still contains terrifying strength.”James replied, “I’ll charge in there even if it’s a perfect Tenfold Purge Formation. I can’t just wait idly while Thea and the others suffer within the formation.”After the brief telepathic conversation with Henrik, James replied to Lucius, “Alright, I’ll enter the formation. However, you must let the hostages go first.”Lucius said coldly, “You’re not in a position to negotiate with us, James.” After speaking, Lucius waved his hand, and a powerful formation emerged from the formation below him.Someone within the formation was obliterated instantly, leaving a pool of blood on
“James!”“Dad!”Seeing James trapped within the formation, countless voices called out to him.“Enough. We must leave now.” Henrik waved his hand and summoned the rune Zeno left for him, which allowed him to enter the Chaos Battlefield at will. A powerful force emerged from the rune, enveloping James’ family and friends. Then, the rune tore a gap in the space and teleported everyone out of the Chaos Battlefield.Henrik did not leave with them. He glared at Lucius, Sedris, Xylus, and Toma. Then, he looked coldly at Mount Stoyan. Immediately afterward, a murderous intent erupted from his body.After sensing that Thea and the others had been sent to safety, James, who was being crushed to the ground by the formation’s pressure, slowly stood up. His aura suddenly increased as seven kinds of powers flowed through his body. James no longer hid his strength, and his injuries recovered instantly. He stretched his body and looked at the powerhouses in the sky.“What the hell?”Lucius a
James took thirty-two steps forward and shattered the Tenfold Purge Formation.As soon as the formation was broken, the powerful force of James’ Defying Heavens Art destroyed Mount Stoyan.Even though other formations were set up around Mount Stoyan, they could not withstand the Defying Heavens Art’s power. Many cultivators within Mount Stoyan sensed the formation’s destruction and quickly evacuated. A few that could not escape in time were obliterated, and their souls were wiped out.James floated in the void, emitting the aura of a peerless warrior.“It broke?”“James destroyed Mount Stoyan’s formation.”“It was a formation that managed to temporarily trap Yardos. He went to great lengths to create a crack to escape.”“Yardos had the strength to fight four opponents alone. Wouldn’t this mean that James’ strength is above Yardos?”“Lucius and his comrades are in deep trouble.”Many of the cultivators spectating from a distance were excited after seeing that the Tenfold Purge
James activated the Blithe Omniscience and appeared in front of Lucius in a flash. Then, he swung his fist.Lucius was extra careful as he knew James mastered the Blithe Omniscience. As soon as James reappeared, he urged his Space Path’s Power and disappeared. The next moment, he appeared somewhere else.However, James had already predicted his course of action. He vanished again and appeared beside Lucius. Then, his fist slammed into Lucius’ body.Lucius was at the Chaos Transcendere Rank and had terrifying physical strength. However, James’ attack caused countless injuries to his tough physical body.“Ugh!”Lucius was knocked into the distance, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.“Huh?” Many powerhouses were stunned by the scene.“Lucius is at the Chaos Transcendere Rank. How could he be injured in just one hit?”“How did James become so strong in just a few epochs?”Everyone spectating the battle was shocked.James had used the Omniscience Path’s Tenth Rank and Seven Pat
James’ Sword Energy injured the Kapron District’s Leader, Xylus.Xylus’ expression changed. He was not expecting James to be so strong. Despite that, he did not back down. Instead, he was excited after learning how strong James was after cultivating the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra and sacred scrolls.He thought to himself, ‘James is only at the Quasi Chaos Rank but is already so strong. If I were to cultivate the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra and sacred scrolls, I’d be even stronger, right?’Xylus was even more determined to obtain the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra and sacred scrolls. Although he was injured, he did not even flinch. He increased his aura and waved his hand. Countless inscriptions emerged from his palm and gathered into a strange-looking beast.The ferocious beast parted its bloody mouth and tried to inhale James.James felt the suction force trying to pull him in and snorted.“Hmph. Heaven Piercing Sword Art.”The Chaos’ Nine Voices powers emerged
James wiped out the powerhouses of the four district leader’s sects very quickly. Then, he returned to the collapsed Mount Stoyan. At that moment, Lucius, Toma, and Xylus had already climbed out of the rubble. The three of them looked miserable, covered in injuries and blood.“As expected from you, James.” Henrik smiled while watching from a distance.He learned that James was in trouble and rushed to support him. However, James was already so strong. Even at the Quasi Chaos Rank, he was able to take on four powerhouses at the Chaos Rank.Despite being against four opponents, James avoided being at a disadvantage. Instead, he had the upper hand against them.James hovered in the void with a cold expression. “Sword World.”Countless Sword Energies containing mysterious inscriptions emerged and formed a Sword World, instantly trapping his three opponents.Sword Energies pierced through the space within the Sword World. Lucius, Toma, and Xylus desperately defended themselves. P
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
