James was relieved after Shade and Yolanda agreed to the offer. From now on, he would be protected by two powerhouses at the early stage of the Great Celestial Rank. As long as he did not get into trouble, he could cultivate peacefully.James casually waved his hand, and two inscriptions emerged. “Here’s the first part of the Genesis Path Scripture. I’ll regularly give you parts of it. As long as you two stay loyal, you can obtain the complete version of the Genesis Path Scripture.”James was good at winning over people’s hearts. Otherwise, the Supreemusseum would not have become one of the Central Plane’s most terrifying forces.The two were overjoyed and quickly took the inscriptions.James reminded them, “Also, it’s important not to expose my identity. If you two let word get out, I might get into trouble. However, I’ll still be able to survive. When I regain my strength, I’ll kill the two of you and won’t spare your sects.”“Most definitely.”“I promise not to even say a word
Everyone was stunned by James’ words.The Genesis Holy Herb was a rare and precious item, yet James wanted to share it with them.James noticed their startled expressions and said smilingly, “Although it’s a rare herb, we’re a team. You guys have great potential to have reached the Sovereign Rank while in a lower-ranked plane. As long as you have enough resources, you guys will become really powerful.”His companions were talented, and he knew they would provide him with great help in the future.All of them looked at James gratefully.James said, “Alright, let’s find a place to cultivate.” He scanned the area and found it to be a suitable place.With a wave of the hand, he set up a formation to block their auras from leaking outside. It was also a time formation, saving them a lot of time.The Genesis Holy Herb floated in the air, and the group sat in a lotus position around it.“I have a really good Supernatural Power to share.”James looked at his companions and summoned
Countless epochs had passed inside the formation. James had been waiting outside the formation for an epoch. Soon, Gaius made a breakthrough into the Sovereign Second Rank.“You’re done?” James looked at Gaius, who walked out of the formation, and asked while smiling, “How did it go?”Gaius said in awe, “It was incredibly profound. I’ve only grasped the basics of it, but it was like the door to a new world had opened. I gained a lot this time. With the Genesis Holy Herb’s energy, I easily entered the Sovereign Second Rank.”James nodded and said, “Good. The Genesis Path Scripture is the fruit of a powerhouse’s lifelong hard work. It’s one of the most sought-after Supernatural Power.”“Where did you get it from?” asked Gaius.James smiled lightly in response.Gaius was sensible and stopped pursuing the matter further.Soon, King Marciais also left the formation. He approached while stretching his body and said smilingly, “The Genesis Path Scripture is really magical. I’ve benef
Back when James reached the Marciais Path’s sixteenth rank, he shared his knowledge with King Marciais. Now that King Marciais had reached the Maricias Path’s seventeenth rank, he returned the favor. With James’ comprehension ability, he entered the seventeenth rank without much effort.“He’s insane.” King Marciais was shocked to see James improve so quickly. When James reached the Marciais Path’s seventeenth rank, Gurgen and Taran were still cultivating inside the formation. James got together with Gaius and King Marciais again. He looked at Gaius and said, “You should also learn the Marciais Path. It focuses on pure physical strength and can help you awaken your flesh, soul, and bloodline’s power. There’s no loss in cultivating it. If you’re faced with an opponent at the same rank, it’ll give you an upper hand.”Gaius’ physical body was decent. However, he did not cultivate the Marciais Path or focus on improving his physical strength.“Alright.” Gaius nodded lightly.King
There was also Gurgen’s Thunderous Tribulations. Now, they could create Tribulation Worlds that made enemies fall into tribulations.Meanwhile, Gaius’ signature skill was also powerful. It was named Petrifaction, which sounded simple but was actually magical. Upon using Petrifaction, one’s body would undergo changes and turn as hard as a rock. At the same time, one’s physical power would also increase. If used atop the Marciais Path, one’s defense would be extremely terrifying.A while later, James stood up and said, “It’s almost time. Let’s get to Dieux Academy as soon as possible and participate in their assessment. The rewards for this round’s discipleship assessment are really enticing.”Since King Marciais and the others cultivated the Genesis Path Scripture, they could understand the Central Plane’s language and were able to read the invitation from Dieux Academy.James continued, “The champion plane of this round’s assessment will get Clover Spiritual Herbs. It’s a herb of t
The aim was to get treasures without hurting people.That was James’ attitude.After all, the cultivation realm was cruel. It was hard to rise without obtaining resources.“Let’s go then,” said Gaius. He was greedy for treasures. His greed was further fueled upon coming to know the benefits of the Genesis Holy Herb. He said, “I wonder if there are Genesis Holy Herbs in this plane.”With a smile, James said, “It’d be hard to find them. The Genesis Holy Herb is rare. If rated according to quality, the Genesis Holy Herb qualifies as an herb of the Celestial Rank.”If the Genesis Holy Herb were not an herb of the Celestial Rank, the two Celestial Rank powerhouses would not have put their lives at stake to fight for it.Genesis Holy Herbs only formed when a plane failed to evolve. Thus, it was extremely rare.“Genesis Holy Herbs were only born in the Central Plane and a few other powerful planes. The plane before us is advanced, but it can’t birth Genesis Holy Herbs. Planes have diff
Hence, James wanted to create a more powerful plane. He wanted the people by his side to be stronger.That way, he would have more opportunities.Otherwise, he would make the same mistake he did in his previous life.He still had one more chance. He needed to enter the Holy Celestial Rank in this life.“What are you thinking about?” King Marciais pulled James over.“Nothing.” James came back to his senses and said, “Let’s go and see what treasures there are in this plane.”The group hurried over to the plane ahead.“James, what level is this plane?” Gaius asked.After sensing the power of the plane ahead, James answered, “It can be considered to be a fifth-level plane. It’s just that this plane was born not too long ago. The space is unstable. Many universes are expanding and being born. If no one invades and this plane develops peacefully, it will become an eighth-level plane in the future.”“It’s that strong?” Gurgen was stunned.“Yeah. It’s that strong.” James nodded and s
The Ancient Clan’s Immortal Mountain was one of the Ten Great Forces of the Central Plane.Although Dieux Academy was also rated as one of the Ten Great Forces, the overall strength of Dieux Academy was not very great. Dieux Academy relied heavily on the countless powerhouses they had trained throughout the years.The powerhouses did not stay in Dieux Academy for a long time. They would only cultivate in Dieux Academy for a while.Nonetheless, if Dieux Academy were in a predicament, the powerhouses would help the academy.Dieux Academy relied on the powerhouses to become one of the Ten Great Forces.On the other hand, the Ancient Clan was extremely powerful and terrifying.As for how Emyr Island obtained a spot as one of the Ten Great Forces in the Central Plane following their previous invasion, it was because the ranking was made by regular living beings.There were many versions of the Ten Great Forces. Each powerhouse rated the strength of the planes according to their opini
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
