Standing in the void, Henrik smiled and said, “Everyone, please stay here. Do not try to break the formation and escape. If anyone tries breaking the formation, I will initiate the Grand Purge Formation immediately. It’ll be bad if you get hurt.”Henrik spoke casually.His purpose was to trap the living beings.He was waiting for James to find the Herstellen Art.He wanted to buy some time for James.There was a formation that isolated the area from the outside. No matter what happened in the area, the living beings in the outside world would not know a thing.Being engulfed in the Grand Purge Formation, the powerhouses fell silent. They dared not act rashly.Meanwhile, Henrik’s gaze landed on Xezal.“Teresa, where’s Yardos?” Henrik questioned in a cold voice.“Haha.” Xezal laughed.At this moment, the Grand Purge Formation circulated. With countless inscriptions gathered, Teresa felt a rising pressure. Under the terrifying pressure, her body began to crack, and blood covered
James obtained the inscription containing information about the Herstellen Art.Upon obtaining it, he ran away.James was not worried about Henrik. He trusted Henrik. If Henrik said that he could stop the others, he could.After leaving Mount Stoyan, James hid his aura.Then, he cast a formation around himself.Upon casting the formation, he summoned the inscription.The inscription floated before him. It was dazzling and eye-catching.James’ Zen entered the inscription.When his Zen entered the inscription, it entered an unknown space. In the space, a figure appeared.The figure materialized gradually.James saw the person clearly.“What?”James frowned.He had seen this man before.The man was the statue that appeared on Mount Bane of the Twelfth Universe.“You are?” James was shocked.“Since you’re here, it means you and the Herstellen Art are destined.”The man looked at James with a smile.“Actually, the Herstellen Art wasn’t in the Chaos Arena. The so-called Her
Boom!The arriving powerhouses were powerful. They attacked James’ formation, and it shattered instantly.“They came so fast.” James frowned.He found himself immediately exposed to the gaze of many powerhouses and being surrounded by them. The area was sealed as well.James looked at his surroundings and saw many living beings, including Fletcher, Becca, Shane, and others that he had never seen before. Their auras were formidable.“James Caden, hand over the clue of the Herstellen Art,” a voice rang out.James spread his hands and said, “I don’t have it. I’ve observed the complete inscriptions, and there’s no such thing as the Herstellen Art. We’ve all been deceived by Emperor Raiah.”“You’re asking for death.” Fletcher took the lead and launched an attack on James.The moment James was about to escape, a man appeared and effortlessly blocked Fletcher’s attack. With an indifferent expression, he said, “Do you think my words are just hot air? I said James is mine, and no one ca
Taran’s obsession ran deep, and he wanted only to defeat Emperor Raiah. However, with Emperor Raiah absent, he turned his target to James, who possessed Emperor Raiah’s inheritance.Perhaps this was the reason Taran could not take the final step to reach the first rank. Therefore, James could not die. Even if he were to die, it would have to be at Taran’s hands.At this moment, many powerhouses who had been hidden for countless years appeared.The Grand Patriarchs of Silbergh Island, Phoenix Clan, Mount Genesis, and Mount Taba were all renowned powerhouses during the era of Emperor Raiah. Initially, they had chosen not to join the battle because they feared death, and also because Emperor Raiah had instructed them to hide from the world before his departure.They obeyed Emperor Raiah because he repelled the Extraterrestrial Demon and attained the supreme cultivation achievement, which caused them to fear him. After countless years passed with no sign of Emperor Raiah’s return, t
The inscriptions left by Emperor Raiah adorned the Chaos Tablet, allowing it to repair itself rapidly whenever cracks appeared on its surface.However, the powerhouses within the Chaos Space were too powerful, like Taran, who matched Emperor Raiah in strength. Consequently, the seal on the Chaos Tablet could not withstand the fluctuations of their battle. The battle continued for quite some time.Boom!The Chaos Tablet collapsed, and a massive Sealing Formation emerged. As cracks spread across the formation, countless black auras began to pour out and soar into the darkness.Hidden in the shadows, James witnessed this scene with a heavy expression.‘It seems that Teresa’s plan has succeeded,’ he thought. He knew that Teresa intended to break the seal of the Chaos Tablet and release the Extraterrestrial Demon suppressed within it.Now that the Chaos Tablet had been shattered, the Extraterrestrial Demon had lost the formation suppressing it and was escaping. However, the battle w
Right from the beginning, both James and Henrik knew about Teresa’s plan. However, James never anticipated that Teresa would indeed disrupt the Ten Districts all on her own.Now, he was worried that the battlefield would shift to the Chaos District, which housed the Human Universe. That was his home, and he did not want anything to happen to it.Sitting on a black-colored rock, James gently massaged his temples and asked, “If you were Teresa, what would you do next?”Henrik thought for a moment and said, “Now, the Extraterrestrial Demon has been released, and no one knows where it is hiding. Furthermore, the Sword Energy manifested within Teresa caused some damage to the Grand Purge Formation when I used it earlier.”He paused and continued, “If my guess is correct, Teresa has already reached an agreement with the Extraterrestrial Demons’ Commanders. Next, she will join forces with them and shift the battlefield to the Chaos District. Now, the powerhouses in the Ten Districts are e
Despite his formidable cultivation base, Wyot got lost in the Dark World. He could not find his way back, no matter how hard he tried or what methods he employed. Panic began to set in as he continued to choose different routes that only caused him to sink deeper into the abyss.He sat on a rock in the Dark World, his handsome face etched with perplexity. He felt utterly adrift.“Wyot Dalibor.”Suddenly, a voice echoed through the silence, calling his name. Wyot trembled and stood up, his body quivering.“Who… who’s there?” His voice quivered.Regardless of whether it was an enemy or a friend calling him, it was far better than remaining alone in the Dark World.Swish!A faint light landed, coalescing into a man.“James...” The moment Wyot recognized James, he became so overwhelmed with emotion that he nearly cried. He seized James’ hand and said, “Quick, take me out of this place.”The Dark World was eerily silent and possessed a mysterious power that could erode both the bod
Wyot remained silent in response to James’ answer. In his philosophy, this was a world of survival of the fittest, where the weak were destined to be dominated by the strong.“I must stop Teresa’s plan, even if it inconveniences you,” James said.Wyot’s cultivation base had already been sealed by James, rendering him powerless to prevent anything. Even if it was not sealed, he still would not be able to stop James.James then utilized the Soul Search Art to enter the deepest recesses of Wyot’s soul, forcibly extracting his memories. Upon learning Wyot’s memories, he found that Wyot had indeed told the truth. His knowledge about Teresa’s plan was limited.Slowly, James’ appearance transformed into Wyot’s. He had impersonated Wyot before and was intimately familiar with his soul aura. Now, even Wyot’s closest relatives would not be able to discern the difference.Upon witnessing this, Wyot’s face showed pain. Though the forced soul-searching had brought him intense agony, it was not
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
