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 Endlos Plane merged with a fifth-level plane.Unfortunately, the Endlos Plane’s level did not increase. Nevertheless, it had a huge potential as the newly born plane was still developing. The size of the plane was increasing, and its space was also becoming stable. As long as the current Endlos Plane could grow safely for some time, it would become a powerful plane.According to James’ extrapolation, the current Endlos Plane could become an eighth-level plane.It would be hard to become a ninth-level plane after becoming an eighth-level plane. The plane needed to merge with too many planes to do so. It needed to absorb the Genesis of many planes to gain a chance of becoming a ninth-level plane.If it were easy to become a ninth-level plane, ninth-level planes would not have been so rare among the many planes.The rest stared at James. When James stopped, King Marciais walked over and asked, “What do we do now?”James answered, “According to my previous plan, I plan to rest
The Endlos Plane merged with a new plane, and their future potential appeared tremendous. Furthermore, this fusion gave rise to numerous talents in the region of the new plane, who rapidly ascended to become powerhouses. This inevitably stirred up a lot of controversy and chaos in Endlos, which was not what James had wished to see.“Since the Endlos Plane has merged with another plane, I’ll find the genesis of the new plane and hand it over to you for refinement. Then, you’ll gain control over the new Endlos Plane.”“Sure,” Thea responded without giving it much thought.Then, she added, “However, there are many talents and powerhouses among the Human Race now. It does not necessarily have to be me. Hetsema Caden from the Orstellen Sect is an excellent choice. After you left, his cultivation base skyrocketed, and he has already reached the Chaos Completare Rank.”“I don’t trust him,” James said, shaking his head slightly.“You don’t trust your son.” Thea rolled her eyes.James rea
After imparting his insights to Thea, James departed. He intended to select and nurture talented living beings. The original Endlos Plane already had some exceptional talents.As other planes were discovered, powerhouses would invade and reclaim them, guiding the living beings of those planes into cultivation. However, the Endlos Plane did not undergo this process. Instead, it faced battles.The living beings of the Endlos could continue to explore and cultivate. Achieving the Chaos Rank in such circumstances was already impressive, and with a little nurturing, entering the Sovereign Rank would be relatively easy. James had made arrangements before leaving the previous Endlos. He left behind numerous opportunities and boons and provided the Human Race with the Genesis Path Scripture. The genesis of a plane was enough to turn a human into a powerhouse, not to mention the Genesis Path Scripture formed from the Genesis Paths of countless planes. In due time, the Endlos Human Race w
The young man on the bed was unaware of James’ arrival. Feeling exhausted from his ordeal, he struggled to sit up. He was shocked when he saw James seated in the room. Keeping a vigilant eye on James, he asked, “Who... who are you?”“Are you Stephen Yaman?” James asked, smiling faintly at the young man, who appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen.“Yes, I am. Who are you?” Stephen asked, staring at James. He then darted to the door and found it was locked. He wondered how James had entered.“Are you a Celestial?” Stephen suddenly remembered something and widened his eyes.James smiled and said, “Don’t you want revenge? Well, I can help you with that.”Stephen had often heard stories from the elders at the tavern about the Celestials in the mountains. He had dreamt of cultivating immortality and becoming a Celestial who could soar on a sword.“Take me as your master,” James suggested with a smile. “Kowtow to me, and you’ll be my disciple from today.”“Take you as my master?” S
James took Stephen as his disciple, and Stephen displayed remarkable insight, making rapid progress in his cultivation.James resided in the place for one epoch, during which he guided Stephen with various teachings and opportunities. After just one epoch, Stephen had reached the Celestial Ancestor Rank. Although this rank appeared weak, it was remarkable that he could reach it in such a short time.One epoch later, James departed. The future of Stephen’s growth depended on his own efforts.Outside the Endlos Plane, James, Gaius, Gurgen, King Marciais, and Taran reunited. Throughout this epoch, they meticulously selected and mentored disciples.“Let’s go,” James said.King Marciais gazed at the Endlos Plane and sighed. “Who knows how the Endlos will have changed when we return?”Taran added, “By then, the Endlos Plane may have evolved into an eighth-level plane with many powerhouses and perhaps even a few Celestial Rank powerhouses.”Gaius nodded slightly and said, “The numerous
“I’ll meet the Clan Leader personally,” the Great Elder said before leaving.In one of the spiritual mountains of the Ancient Clan’s Immortal Mountain, an eerie silence prevailed through a land devoid of any disciples. In front of a waterfall at the back mountain, a man sat in a lotus position. He appeared to be in his early twenties, wore a white robe, and had a handsome and imposing demeanor.This man was one of the most formidable powerhouses across the countless planes. He came from a ninth-level plane and was the lord of one such plane. He had ascended from the ninth-level plane and established the Immortal Mountain in the Central Plane, making it one of the ten major powers in the region.The Ancient Clan’s Great Elder arrived and respectfully reported, “Clan Leader, the army sent to find Empyrean herbs was annihilated.”“Oh?” The man in the white robe could not help but exclaim. Then, a bright smile spread across his face as he spoke softly, “That’s interesting. It’s been
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
