James saw Thea’s body engulfed by black mists. He could sense Thea’s human soul. However, another soul was hidden deep within her and had yet to awaken. Unfortunately, his Dobro Eyes could not unravel the origin of her soul.James was a very powerful cultivator in his previous life and was well-informed about different things. Despite that, he was unable to see through Thea. He murmured, “What’s Thea’s origin?”He had eavesdropped on the Ancestral Blood Master’s conversation with Thea and learned that Thea came from the deepest part of the Dark World. She was escorted to the Endlos’ Chaos District by a group of demons and was found by the Ancestral Blood Master.“She’s from the depths of the Dark World, huh?” James’ brows furrowed.Thea, on the other hand, did not think much about her origin. Even though she learned about being found in the Dark World, she never dug deeper into it. Instead, she focused on spreading the news of James’ conference throughout the different districts
Yemima stood before the simple manor and watched Hetsema walk toward her.Although she had always stayed on Mount Doom, she was aware of the things happening outside. She knew her son had returned to the Human Race and went by a new name given by Thea, Hetsema Caden. Hetsema stopped before Yemima. He looked at the beautiful but haggard-looking woman and knelt to the ground. Then, he greeted her respectfully, “Mother.” Yemima quickly helped him up and said, “What are you doing? You’re the Orstellen Sect’s Leader and have a high status in the Endlos. Hurry, get up.”“Mother, come with me to the Orstellen Sect,” said Hetsema.Hetsema’s purpose for visiting the Dooms was to pick up Yemima and bring her to the Orstellen Sect.Yemima replied, “Why would I go there? I don’t want to. I’m fine staying here. It would be uncomfortable living in an unfamiliar place.”Hetsema looked at her and said, “Between Wyot and James, who do you love?”“W-Why are you asking that?” Yemima averted her
James’ conference was a great inspiration to strong cultivators. He stood on the podium and watched as Wyot entered the Sovereign Rank with satisfaction. With Wyot’s breakthrough, the Endlos had another powerhouse at the Sovereign Rank.Suddenly, a carriage pulled by nine golden dragons interrupted the conference.James’ brows furrowed at the sight. The powerhouses in the dojo turned toward the carriage. Under everyone’s gaze, Hetsema pulled Yemima out of the carriage.“Huh?” Everyone was stunned.Hetsema dragged Yemima through the void and walked to the central area of the dojo.Thea immediately reacted and reprimanded him, “What are you doing, Hetsema?!! Get out of here! Don’t you know what kind of occasion this is? If you need to discuss something, we’ll do it after the conference.”Hetsema replied nonchalantly, “It can’t wait till the conference ends. Since Wyot and James are already here, I need them to give my mother closure.”The light rays surrounding Wyot’s body dispe
Wyot had already learned to accept fate. However, it did not mean he had forgotten what had happened. He had suppressed his anger deep within his heart. He was furious that Hetsema had brought Yemima to the Human Universe’s Thirty-Third Heaven and exposed everything in front of the massive crowd of powerhouses.Wyot looked at Yemima, and his face darkened. He turned to James on the podium, clenched his fists, and slowly began to approach.James stared at Wyot as well.Wyot stopped before him and said, “We must settle this matter, James. Even though the Endlos is in peace, the Dooms and humans have been in conflict for countless years. Let’s resolve it today, once and for all.”“How are we going to resolve it?” James looked at Wyot.Wyot replied, “It’s either you live or I live.”James frowned. He did not like the way things had turned out. He had always wanted to give Yemima a title. After all, they had a son together. However, he was aware that Wyot and Yemima were in love. His
With Wyot’s current strength, he could stop Yemima’s reincarnation. However, he wanted to respect her decision.“James, please take good care of Hetsema…” Yemima’s soul gradually dissipated, and her voice echoed in the dojo.Hetsema felt regretful after seeing how things had unfolded. He did not expect his actions to lead to Yemima’s reincarnation. Despite that, he felt it might have been for the best.The dojo was full of powerhouses from throughout the Endlos. However, it was completely silent.Wyot murmured as he watched Yemima reincarnate, “I’ll be waiting for you, Yemima. I’ll wait for you to reincarnate. Even if I have to travel to the ends of the world, I’ll find you.” Under countless gazes, he walked through the void and left the dojo. Then, he departed from the Human Universe’s Thirty-Third Heaven.”James fell silent. The outcome was not one he wanted to see, yet it felt the most suitable ending.“I’ll continue with the conference,” said James.Hetsema did not stay af
After Yemima was reincarnated, Wyot stayed by her side.Meanwhile, James temporarily stayed in Mount Bane after the conference.His conference greatly inspired many cultivators.King Marciais had a breakthrough into the Sovereign Rank and reached the Marciais Path’s Sixteenth Rank. He was at the same achievement in the Martial Path. However, his cultivation rank had surpassed James.Soon, Taran also entered the Sovereign Rank.The Endlos finally had a few more additions of powerhouses at the Sovereign Rank and was no longer classified as a lower-ranked plane. It had evolved into a middle-ranked plane. The lower-ranked planes did not have powerhouses at the Sovereign Rank. Even if they managed to produce a powerhouse at the Sovereign Rank, it would be at the expense of the entire plane’s resources.After James finished the conference, he lived carefreely in the Endlos.One certain day, many epochs later, his peaceful days were broken.It had been a thousand epochs since James’
Soon, the flying battleship appeared in the Human Universe.The unknown invaders could sense the Human Universe was the Endlos Plane’s core, as the luck gathered was the strongest. Therefore, if the Endlos Planee had powerhouses, they would be within the Human Universe.The massive battleship carrying hundreds of living beings stopped outside the Human Universe’s Heavenly Court. A man alighted the battleship, looked toward the South Heaven Gate, and shouted, “Who’s in charge here?”Shortly after, Jacopo walked outside the South Heaven Gate and stared warily at the flying battleship ahead of him. He replied, “I’m the Lord of the Human Universe’s Heavenly Court. What’s your origin, and why are you here?”Although Jacopo was also a powerhouse, he was not strong enough to sense that the living beings before him were from another plane.The intruder’s commander answered, “We’re disciples from the Central Plane’s Dieux Academy. We’re traveling to other planes to hand out invitations t
Thea was puzzled by how James knew about the Central Plane’s situation. Surprised, she asked, “Are there many powerhouses at the Holy Celestial Rank in the Endlos Plane?” James shook his head lightly and said, “It’s the same as how the Sovereign Rank was to the Endlos Plane some time ago. It might be a legend, or perhaps a few people have already entered the rank.”Thea asked, “How did you know all this?”James did not answer her question. Instead, he said, “Let’s go meet the Dieux Academy’s disciples.”After speaking, he walked away. The next moment, he had already appeared outside the South Heaven Gate. Thea followed behind him.Jacopo immediately put away his weapon after seeing his parents. He called out to them, “Dad, Mom.”“Mhm.” James nodded lightly in response.The Dieux Acadmy’s senior disciple, who was leading the group, turned to James. He was shocked after failing to detect James’ cultivation base. He was sensible and did not dare to act recklessly. He clasped his h
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
