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
Gaius sighed.James nodded and said, “Taran is right. Life is worthless in the cultivation realm. Powerhouses control lives at will. As long as they don’t lose their conscience and annihilate their Divine Soul, they can reincarnate.”Upon hearing that, Gaius remained silent.Perhaps he had stayed in Endlos for too long that he was not accustomed to the outside world.“Let’s do it.” King Marciais was ready to take action.Gurgen also followed suit. “We can’t leave the Central Plane empty-handed. The treasures are right in front of us. We can’t turn back now.”King Marciais looked at James and asked, “What’s your plan?”James smiled and said, “It’s simple. We’ll close off this area and mask it from the powerhouses of the Ancient Clan’s Immortal Mountain. They won’t be able to see what’s going on. Once they enter the plane, I’ll cast a formation to hide the plane.”“What a tactic.” King Marciais gave James a thumbs up.James laughed.Then, they followed the flying battleships in
In James’ previous life, he was unbothered. Now, his previous life was only a past form to him. It was a part of the Tressencia Completare Art.If his current form’s ability increased, the power of his past form that he could use would also increase. He did not make his past life’s identity clear.With a smile, he said, “I’m not Lord Supreme. I just obtained Lord Supreme’s inheritance by chance. Also, please don’t tell anyone about these matters. Lord Supreme’s enemies are powerful and terrifying. Letting other people know about this will bring trouble.”In the distance, a patroller blocked the path of the flying battleships. An elder walked out of the flying battleship in the lead.The elder wore a gray robe. Looking at the patrollers blocking his way before him, he greeted, “We are the Ancient Clan’s Immortal Mountain. I’m Brett Glen.”With a heavy expression, the leader of the patrollers said, “This plane has potential. It reached the fifth level as soon as it was born. I
When James raised his hand, countless inscriptions appeared in his palm. The inscriptions transformed quickly before submerging into the surrounding area.Then, James entered the plane.In the plane, flying battleships as large as stars were entering rapidly.“Swoosh!”As the battleships were flying in, before the entire battleship could make it into the plane, several shadows appeared and blocked the battleships from entering.“If you would like to come through here, you should leave something behind,” said King Marciais lazily.“What’s going on? Why did we stop?” Brett walked out and showed up at the border of the battleship.“A few living beings have blocked our way,” answered a disciple of the Ancient Clan.This area belonged to the Dark World outside of the plane.When Brett looked ahead, he saw four people emerging from the dark.At this moment, James also appeared.“Kill them.”Brett sensed their cultivation rank. After he learned that they were in the Sovereign Seco
James’ past and future forms attacked Brett, a powerhouse at the late stage of the Sovereign Fourth Rank, together.Even though James’ cultivation base was only at the initial stage of the Sovereign Second Rank, he injured a powerhouse at the late stage of the Sovereign Fourth Rank instantly. If news of this spread, it would cause a commotion.Nonetheless, James was dissatisfied with his power.“Darn it.”Brett was injured. Cracks appeared on his body. He was furious.A dazzling longsword emerged in his hand. The longsword had a terrifying power.Angrily, Brett waved the longsword and slashed at James.Indifferently, James stood in the void of the Dark World. He was calm upon facing the attack. When the frightening Sword Energy was about to land on him, he raised his hand. Changes happened in his palm. His palm turned into several mysterious inscriptions. Then, his arm also became inscriptions. In an instant, his body underwent changes, turning into inscriptions. The inscription
Soon, the Empyrean herbs Brett had obtained after putting in so much effort were divided among James and the others.After dividing these Empyrean herbs, James destroyed the flying battleships.The five of them gathered in the Dark World.They were counting the loot.Endless laughter sounded in the Dark World.“Haha. We’re so rich.”“There are too many Empyrean herbs.”“By the way, James, how are you going to deal with the plane?”Upon hearing that, James fell into deep thought.His initial plan was to come to this plane to search for treasures and Empyrean herbs. Now, he had obtained many Empyrean herbs. They were enough for him to use for some time.“How about we culture this plane?” King Marciais had an idea.James glanced at King Marciais. King Marciais’ idea was similar to his.“That works.”James said, “I can sense that there aren’t many powerhouses born in the plane. Let’s operate separately. We’ll look for talented living beings and recruit them as disciples.”“Al
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
