Thea never would have imagined that her father would turn out to be the reincarnation of a skilled cultivator from another plane of existence. Since Xrival had recovered his memories, he also regained all the powers he had lost before being reincarnated into the Endlos. Currently, his powers were not inferior to Theaʼs. Therefore, he was able to seal her cultivation base with a surprise attack. After he had finished saying all that, Xrival moved Thea into his storage treasure by using his powers. Then, he left the place. No one at the Orstellen Sectʼs base had realized that Thea was abducted. Fortunately, James had witnessed the entire incident. With his incredible powers and skills, James could easily monitor what was happening at the Orstellen Sect even though he was situated in the neighboring universe. Sitting in a chair inside the residence, a small frown drew Jamesʼ brows together. Under normal circumstances, James would have immediately departed to rescue Thea. Moreo
Then, he moved his feet and began walking toward the mountaintop. Simultaneously, the guards were eerily vaporized as they tried to pounce at James. They were exterminated even before they could get close enough to their target. Not even a fragment of their souls had survived James’ attack. Since there werenʼt any formation cast around the mountain, James was able to ascend the mountain fairly quickly. Meanwhile, Lor had detected an unusual aura coming from the direction of the mountainʼs base. As he used his powers to check who was there, Lor witnessed how James managed to take out his subordinates in just a matter of seconds. A small frown creased his forehead. Whoosh! James had materialized before Lor inside the manor located near the top of the mountain. Lor remained in his seat as he started in a calm voice, “I wasnʼt expecting you to show up here voluntarily, James Caden.” James walked over to an empty chair next to Lor and plopped down. “You shouldnʼt have come t
Even after James had said all that, it did not change how Lor felt about having a battle with him. “Lord… Lord Supremus, please spare my life! I truly had no clue that you were reincarnated into the Endlos. If I had known, there was no way I would have chosen to come here in the first place!” Lor said in a choked voice, “Could you please show me some mercy and spare me this time?” A cryptic smile played across James’ face. There was no way he would let Lor walk out of this place in one piece. Lor had learned of James’ true identity. If the man were to disclose or spread this information to others, Jamesʼ old enemies might come looking for him soon. At his current cultivation rank and skills, James stood no chance against those superior cultivators. James had decided to keep his real identity a secret. That meant he would have to get rid of loose ends like Lor. “How about this? I will offer you two options,” James replied after giving it some thought. Lorʼs face brighten
“Let’s go back to the Orstellen Sect,” James said lightly, then turned to leave.He returned to the Orstellen Sect but pretended nothing had happened. While he waited for news about Xezal, he paid a visit to Zella.“You’re back, James,” said Zella.“Yeah.” James walked over and sat down inside Zella’s room.Zella immediately brought him some spiritual fruits.“Has it ever crossed your mind that your brother is the reincarnation of a powerhouse from a different plane?” asked James.Zella was slightly flustered by his question. She walked over, put the spiritual fruits on the table, and sat down. She looked at James and said, “If that’s true, please spare his life. Regardless of his past identity, he’s still my brother in this life.”James immediately came to a realization and said, “I see. You already knew. So when you told me about the reincarnations of powerhouses from other planes around me, you were already aware your brother was one of them, right? That’s why you only remind
Livie found it hard to believe Lor had been reincarnated.Lor was Emyr Island’s Great Elder, a powerhouse at the Sovereign Third Rank. He had terrifying strength, yet James claimed that he had been reincarnated.She recomposed herself and asked, “What happened?”James said smilingly, “I went to see him and had a long discussion with him. He realized his wrongdoings and decided to reincarnate to atone for his sins.”Livie did not believe James’ blatant lie. Curious about the truth, she asked, “What exactly happened, Dad?”Unfortunately, James refused to answer her. Seeing that James was unwilling to speak, Livie did not pursue the matter further.Afterward, James temporarily stayed in the Orstellen Sect and waited for news about Xezal’s recent movements.Although he was in the Orstellen Sect, Gurgen had been keeping track of Xezal, Wynton, and the Ancestral Blood Master.The three of them had already met up. Then, Xezal brought Thea and a few human powerhouses to the Dark World
Xezal sent a message demanding James to head to the Dark World alone.James sat in the highest seat of the Orstellen Sect’s main hall, and many of the sect’s powerhouses gathered below him.Gurgen had returned to participate in the meeting. Gaius, King Marciais, Cray and Hetsema were also present.Hetsema had been staying in the Orstellen Sect and chose not to return to the Human Universe’s Heavenly Court. Thus, he escaped the fate of being abducted.“Xezal is too much! Dad, give me an order, and I’ll lead powerhouses from the Orstellen Sect to the Dark World and exterminate her! I’ll also get rid of the traitors, Xrival and Wynton. Then, I’ll bring Mom and the others back!” Hetsema said furiously.James tapped his fingers on the table.“Don’t hesitate anymore, Dad! Or else their lives may be in danger!” Hetsema said anxiously as if he really cared about Thea and the others.James stood up and said, “I have my own plan. You guys stay in the Orstellen Sect. I’ll personally make a
Wynton and the Ancestral Blood Master knew James’ background very well. James had even solved the battle at the beginning of time in the Tribulation World. They were worried about being unable to handle him if he had not abolished his cultivation base.“You…” James was speechless by their request.He dispersed his cultivation base and strength in front of the powerhouses within the hall. Soon, he went limp and fell to the ground. He seemed to not have the strength to get up or speak.“Can you let them go now?”Xezal walked over to check on James. She could not see through James’ cultivation rank before, so she had to ensure he had no strength left to be at ease.She placed her hand on James’ forehead, and her power entered James’ body. After not sensing any energy in James’ body, she smiled in relief.“Who would’ve thought you would have today, James? You can’t fight me.” Wynton stood up and ordered, “Let the hostages go.”A man in black stood up and immediately released the h
Everyone in the hall was shocked by the sight.Shortly after, a powerful force blasted away Wynton, the Ancestral Blood Master, Sedris, and Xezal.James looked at them and asked calmly, “Tell me, how would you like to die?”Wynton stared at James. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, “Since things have already come to this, I won’t retaliate. However, I want to know what happened to Lor.”James said smilingly, “As I said, he has been reincarnated.”Wynton immediately cast a secret art to contact Lor. However, he could not get hold of Lor, no matter how many times he tried. He even tried to sense Lor’s aura but was to no avail.Sedris knelt and begged, “Please spare my life, James. Lor arranged for my reincarnation in the Endlos. Although I’m a disciple of Emyr Island, I have not done anything unforgivable after being reincarnated in the Endlos.”James looked at Sedris and said calmly, “I won’t kill you for Waleria’s sake. However, you were a disciple of Emyr Island and
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
