Although Taran had lost to Emperor Raiah in the past, he was still exceptionally strong.During Emperor Raiah’s era, there were many powerhouses, including the Sword Demon, Rune Arts Grandmaster, the Emperor of Tribulation, the powerhouses guarding the Boundless Road, and those who died in the battle against the Extraterrestrial Demons.Even though there were many peerless powerhouses, they were not comparable to Taran. Emperor Raiah was the only cultivator capable of suppressing him back then. However, Emperor Raiah was only slightly above Taran and could not kill him.Taran was not interested in Emperor Raiah’s cultivation achievement and had seen through Teresa’s plan of using him to kill James, open the Chaos Tablet, and release the Extraterrestrial Demons.“You should leave,” Taran waved his hand and said, “I don’t want to interfere with these affairs. Life and death are up to fate. You shouldn’t insist on changing it. You'll become corrupted if you’re too persistent in wantin
Xezal’s voice echoed throughout the area. Then, a magical crystal manifested in her hands. At that moment, she was blessed by the Ten District’s Heavenly Path and looked incredibly mighty.A golden light shot over from the distance and formed into a staircase.Xezal ascended the stairs, slowly approaching the spiritual mountain.Soon, she arrived atop a spiritual mountain and saw an elderly man sitting on the cliff.The elderly man had a long beard and was wearing a gray robe. Xezal was unable to sense his aura, and he seemed nonexistent.Xezal looked at the elderly man curiously. She had never seen Taran and Mount Genesis’ Grand Patriarch before. In fact, she had only heard about them from her father and read about them in ancient books. “What’s the matter, young lady?” The elderly man opened his eyes and looked at Xezal.Xezal knelt on the ground and said, “I’m the current Endlos Lord. It’s an honor to meet you, sir.”The elderly man waved his hand, and a force lifted Xezal
Xezal aimed to lure out Mount Genesis’ Grand Patriarch. Naturally, she knew he was a peerless powerhouse capable of verifying many things with his Zen in a short moment. Therefore, her words were not complete lies.The Sovereign Rank was indeed a myth that existed. Within the ancient books that Emperor Raiah had left behind, he hinted there was a possibility of a higher authority above the Extraterrestrial Demon’s Great Commander and that he might be an existence that had surpassed the Chaos Rank. It was also true the Extraterrestrial Demon’s Second Commander was sealed under the Chaos Tablet. However, Emperor Raiah’s whereabouts were unknown. Xezal lied about him leaving the Endlos to enter the Sovereign Rank, as well as the Extraterrestrial Demon’s Second Commander possessing the method to enter the Sovereign Rank.Mount Genesis’ Grand Patriarch seemed to be wavering and was enticed after hearing about a method to enter the Sovereign Rank.“I’ll leave it to you to decide, sir. I
Right then, a spatial rift appeared.The middle-aged man marched forward and was about to enter the Chaos Battlefield through the spatial rift.Swoosh!Before he could enter, two elders showed up and blocked his way.The middle-aged man was Taran Zach, the famous powerhouse of Emperor Raiah’s era.“Fellow cultivator…”A guardian said, “This arena does not belong to you. You can’t go in. You also shouldn’t come here.”The two were guardians of the Boundless Tablet and the Chaos Tablet respectively. They used to be the subordinates of Emperor Raiah. They were powerful. However, they were weaker than Taran.“Are you trying to stop me?” Taran’s expression became heavy.“Taran, Emperor Raiah left behind this arena. The providences and fortunes inside are useless to you. Why do you want to enter the Chaos Battlefield?” The guardian of the Boundless Arena felt helpless.The guardian of the Chaos Arena said, “That’s right. Why?”“I’m not here for fortunes. I’m here for James,” respo
Several Grand Patriarchs of the ancient Orthodox sensed that Taran killed the guardians upon exiting the mountain.They knew Taran’s reputation. Taran was only weaker than Emperor Raiah. He did not even show up during the invasion of the Extraterrestrial Demons. However, here he was now.Based on many powerhouses’ opinions, Taran came out of the mountain because something attracted him.Somewhere in the Chaos Battlefield, James took out a few clues he obtained previously and looked at them.Nonetheless, the clues he obtained were not complete. From the clues, he could not find out the whereabouts of the Herstellen Art. To know the location of the Herstellen Art, he needed to find complete clues.Swoosh!At this moment, a shadow appeared silently.James and Henrik did not sense any fluctuations of aura. It was only when a middle-aged man appeared before them that they sensed his aura.“Who are you?”James and Henrik spoke at the same time. They could not help but step backward.
Taran was not humble.He was not arrogant, but he really did not take James seriously.“Haha. Taran.”At this moment, a laugh sounded from the void. Following the laugh, the void cracked, and an elder appeared in the area.The elder was the Grand Patriarch of Mount Taba.The elder was old and had a beard. His hair was grey.Although he was old, his aura was powerful.Glancing at the elder, Taran asked casually, “What’s wrong?”“Taran, since you’re out from the mountain, there must be something good in the Chaos Battlefield.” The Grand Patriarch of Mount Taba smiled.“You’re thinking too much.” Dully, Taran said, “I’m only here to challenge the disciple of Emperor Raiah.”Taran was speaking the truth.Nonetheless, the Grand Patriarch of Mount Taba did not believe him.At this time, another figure appeared in the distance.It was the Grand Patriarch of Mount Genesis.The Grand Patriarch of Mount Genesis was watching from a distance. He did not approach Taran and the others.
James was familiar with Curse Magic. Not only was he familiar with it, but he also cultivated it.Based on his understanding, Curse Magic was a signature skill cultivated by an Ancestral God of the Twelfth Universe. The Ancestral God obtained the Curse Magic from the Dark World.James did not expect Curse Magic to be created by Taran.“Taran wants to kill you. Even if you comprehend the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Art, you won’t be his match.” Looking at James, Byron said, “Unless you reach Taran’s cultivation rank, you’re doomed.”When James heard that, his expression became heavy. Massaging his temples, he looked troubled.“Take care,” Byron said before leaving.On the other hand, Teresa had gone to several ancient holy sites. When she learned a few pieces of information, she secretly returned to the Chaos Battlefield.Hiding in the dark, she saw Taran and how he did not kill James.She felt happy.She was worried that Taran would kill James right away. If that happened, the
After the news spread, many powerhouses headed to Mount Stoyan.Mount Stoyan had previously been destroyed, but it was now restored.At the top of Mount Stoyan, there was a wooden house.James sat in front of the house.Henrik said, “Many living beings showed up nearby, but none came here. They probably don’t have clues.”“James.”At this time, a voice sounded.James turned to the direction of the sound.He saw Byron walking over. In a flash, Byron appeared before James.Looking at Byron, James asked, “Do you have any clues?”Byron nodded before saying with a smile, “I was lucky. I killed a foe and obtained an incomplete inscription.”“I see.” James lightly nodded and said, “Let’s wait for other powerhouses with clues to show up.”Byron halted in his tracks.As time passed, more living beings gathered in the area. Nonetheless, they did not have clues about the Herstellen Art.In the blink of an eye, three months passed.Three months later, a living being showed up at the
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
