Xezalʼs words gave James quite a shock. The man narrowed his eyes and took a few steps backward away from Xezal. Xezal turned around and fixed her gaze on James. An enigmatic smile flickered across her face. “Donʼt worry, Wyot. I won’t destroy your soul, so you’ll have a chance to be reborn in our world. With the memories of your current life intact, you will still be considered a member of the Doom Race. The position as the patriarch of the Doom Race will still be yours once you return.” James stared at Xezal with a perplexed look in his eyes. ‘I never thought Xezal would go so far as to use Wyot like this. If the real Wyot was here, he would most likely end up becoming a sacrifice for Xezalʼs plans.’ James thought. “Whoʼs that man?” James asked in a steely voice. Xezal took a step closer toward James. “His name is Mekaisto Xelqart. He was once a powerful and skilled cultivator. However, he’s suffered serious injuries, and he needs your Thousand Paths Holy Body to recover hi
James was planning to ruin Xezal and the extraterrestrial demonsʼ alliance if it were possible. However, he had no choice but to make a run for it now that Mekaisto had begun launching his attack. James teleported and reemerged outside the palace within the formation. He instantly realized that he could not pass through the formation by using the techniques of the Blithe Omniscience. The voice of Mekaisto laughing came from the direction of the palace. “You won’t be able to penetrate my formation at your current cultivation rank.” James curled his lips and snickered, “Is that right?” He generated and released an immense amount of aura at that moment. As three circles of halo glowed faintly around James’ body, the man raised his hand and threw a heavy punch at the formation. Boom! The powers of the Ten Path Techniques imbued in Jamesʼ attack broke Mekaistoʼs formation. A huge crack was formed in the protective barrier almost instantly. James quickly teleported out of the f
“Remove the seal you’ve placed on me first,” Xezal demanded. James snapped his fingers.As Xezal could feel the flow of her powers again, she lifted her hand and conjured an inscription. “The map that shows the location where Yardos Xagorari is being detained is recorded in this inscription. You can find him by referring to the map.” James took the inscription from Xezal and examined it with his Zen. After he had confirmed that it was really a map, James focused his powers and directed an attack at Xezal. The ladyʼs body was shredded to bits in an instant. James knew that he had merely destroyed a clone of the actual entity. Still, he wanted to exterminate Xezal. After that, James turned his gaze toward Wyot. “It’s getting more and more dangerous in the Doomsʼ territory. You should leave and stay away for the time being. I wouldnʼt want you to be captured and devoured by the extraterrestrial demon. If that man regains his full powers, itʼll be even more difficult for me to kil
However, the lady couldnʼt be bothered about her internal injuries. She hurriedly left Mount Chaos and headed for Mekaistoʼs palace. “What was that just now?!” Teresa strode toward Mekaisto. “How did James Caden manage to damage your formation and get away?” Mekaisto had a grim expression on his face. “I didnʼt expect he could do that either. Theoretically speaking, James Caden wouldnʼt be able to break my formation with his Chaos Rank powers. Yet, he did just now. That means his powers are very likely above that of the average Chaos Rank cultivators. He might become a threat to our plans later on.” “You donʼt have to worry about that,” Teresa continued, “I’ve devised a plan to lure him to a distant location. He won’t be able to get back here so soon. By the time he managed to return, the Endlos Tournament would be over, and we would have succeeded in completing the ritual to offer the Chaos District as a sacrifice. The Chaos District would be gone by then.” She paused and heav
Most of the cultivators were unnerved as they watched the moments leading to the death of the elderly cultivator. Among the crowd, some of those men were the grand patriarchs of several hidden sects that Henrik and the other human cultivators had visited personally. These men had traveled to the Doom Universe after learning about Xezalʼs plans. However, most of them remained silent even after seeing the scene showing the elderly cultivatorʼs death. On the other hand, the other cultivators were discussing fervently among themselves as a sense of uneasiness spread in the crowd. “Whereʼs the patriarch of the Doom Race? Shouldnʼt he offer us an explanation regarding this incident?” Just as someone had demanded the presence of the Doom Raceʼs patriarch, an elderly man materialized in the room simultaneously. It was Youri Dalibor, the patriarch of the Doom Race. “What’s the matter?” Youri eventually noticed the body lying on the floor. A small frown drew his brows together. James
Xezal activated the mountain formation to prevent everyone from escaping. It was not the right time to get on everyone’s bad side.Although the formation to sacrifice the entire Chaos District had been set up, it required substantial energy to be activated. Moreover, full activation would take some time.She wanted to ensure there were no variables to her plan, or else her efforts would be in vain.“Is that so?”At that moment, an old man wearing a white robe walked out of the crowd. It was none other than the Saber Sect’s Grand Patriarch, the Sword Master.The Sword Master stepped forward and said, “Before I arrived here, I heard the Dooms have colluded with the Extraterrestrial Demons.”Xezal stood up and refuted, “Nonsense! Who spread the false rumors?”The Grand Patriarch of another hidden sect also stepped forward and said, “You’ve gone through so much effort to hold the Endlos Tournament and lure us here so that you can kill us, extract our energy, and then resurrect your
Xezal was still unaware the cultivator she was accusing was James. However, he had stepped forward and pointed fingers at her. Therefore, he naturally became her enemy, and she had to eliminate him.The soldiers were dressed in black armor and were wielding swords. As soon as they entered the hall, the other powerhouses stepped back and cleared an area for them.They could not tell what was the truth and were still confused. Therefore, they did not want to act rashly before having a clearer picture of the situation.James was not bothered by the soldiers. He looked at Xezal, casually waved his hand, and a scene began to play before everyone. In the scene, Xezal brought Wyot to a spiritual mountain in the Dooms’ territory. Then, the two opened a formation and met with an Extraterrestrial Demon. The scene of Wyot almost being devoured was also shown.“This…” The powerhouses inside the hall were shocked.“You think a fake illusion is enough to make me the scapegoat?”Xezal’s face da
The inscriptions’ power spread, and the soldiers instantly evaporated.Xezal realized the human before her was incredibly powerful and had to be either Henrik or James. Her opponent was one she was incapable of handling alone.She said, “The Endlos Tournament will start in advance! Whoever kills that human will be rewarded with the Endlos Heart! The Endlos Heavenly Path recognizes the one who possesses the Endlos Heart as the new Endlos Lord!”A few powerhouses were instantly intrigued by her words.James looked at the powerhouses about to take action against him and reprimanded them, “You’ve all lived for so long but can’t even tell right from wrong. A fake Endlos Heart and the position as the Endlos Lord is enough to fool you and make you lose all logic!“You’re saying it’s fake?” Xezal sneered.Immediately afterward, she activated the Endlos Heart. At that moment, the power of the Ten Districts’ Heavenly Paths gathered around her. She was surrounded by a colorful light, making
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
