One hundred years later, James finished his cultivation in seclusion.After coming out of seclusion, he used his Zen to scan the Moonshine Plane.Upon sensing that many powerful sects, families, and forces were still in the Moonshine Plane, James frowned.“Are you really going to kill all of them? It will ruin peace.” Seeing something off with James’ expression, Lemuel could not help but advise.James glanced at him and said, “I hope you can take action. Use the Grand Supernatural Power to move all living beings of the Endlos Plane. Right now, I need a plane free from living beings.”When Lemuel heard that, he rolled his eyes. He said, “You have overestimated me. Even though I’m in the Holy Celestial Rank, I don’t have such tactics. Besides, this is an eighth-level plane. There are too many living beings. Where can I move them to? Which plane can accept so many living beings?”“Move all of the powerhouses above the Sovereign Rank then,” said James.“Are you sure you want to do t
James successfully obtained the Moonshine Plane and kicked out its powerhouses.Although many living beings were still in the Moonshine Plane, the living beings had not entered the Sovereign Rank. Thus, they did not have the ability to go to the secret realms and obtain high-quality Empyrean herbs.“Where are we going next?” With a smile, Lemuel asked.He had obtained the Genesis of a few planes. He wanted to get more Genesis Paths. If he followed James and took action when James was in trouble, he could continue to get Genesis Paths.He could gather the Genesis Paths quicker than if he were to head to the other planes.“We’ll return to Dieux Academy. Then, we’ll go to the deepest part of the Dark World and search for clues about the Illus,” said James.The Illus was a treasure left behind by the Glaciem Race, a Primeval Race. This treasure was desired by the Four Ancient Races from the Dark World. It could be seen that the Illus was magical.Currently, James’ opponent was the Y
Lemuel continued to ask, “We don’t have the map of the Dark World. We also don’t know the bases of the Primeval Races from the Dark World. What should we do next?”James said, “I went to the Dark World before in my previous life. I encountered a ruin of the Glaciem Race. I still remember the rough location of this ruin. Let’s take a look at this ruin first.”The ruin James mentioned was the place to obtain the Dark Secrets.However, when they searched the ruin previously, they did not find anything.Nonetheless, it was one of the ruins left behind by the Glaciem Race. Perhaps there would be clues about other ruins of the Glaciem Race by going there.“Let’s go.”Lemuel did not refute.The two left in a hurry. They left the Central Plane and headed to the dark.James transversed through the dark quickly by relying on his memory.The two transversed for many years.Even though James had been to the ruin before, it was easy to get lost in the dark. Although he was a powerhouse in
The two transversed through the abandoned space.As they passed through the ruin, the mountains they saw did not look like mountains, and the lands did not look like lands.“Where do you think the tomb is?” After going in a circle, Lemuel asked.James shook his head and said, “I don’t know. It’s good enough that I can find this ruin. There are too many spatial turbulences in this space. The area is constantly moving. The location is also changing endlessly.”Lemuel was speechless.Since he could not rely on James, he could only rely on himself.“If I help you find the tomb, you will give me the Genesis Paths of one hundred tombs,” said Lemuel.“Deal.”James did not refuse.Meanwhile, Lemuel used his Zen to observe the area and space.However, this space was destroyed. There were many strange energies. Even though his Zen could cover the entire area, he could not tell the location of the tomb James mentioned.Now, he could only use the elimination method and search one place
Lemuel did not know how to respond to the question.With a shocked expression, he looked at James and asked, “What did you just say? You want to use the Genesis of the thousands of paths to reshape your physical body?”“Yeah.”James nodded and said, “My physical body evolved from the Koloretsua Stone of a low-level plane. It’s extremely strong. However, it’s only strong in the plane I’m in. It isn’t as powerful in the thousands of planes and the Central Plane. I plan to reshape a stronger and more terrifying physical body.”Upon hearing that, Lemuel fell into deep thought.After a while, anticipation could be seen on his face. He said, “I have never thought about this. Nonetheless, the Genesis of the thousands of planes is absolutely frightening. If you can use that to reshape a new physical body, your physical body will be terrifying.“Since ancient times, there had been many physiques. The more powerful one’s physique was, the more talented one would be in cultivation. Nonethel
The formation of this area was too profound and mysterious. Even Lemuel, a powerhouse of the Holy Celestial Rank, could not understand it.On the other hand, since James cultivated the Genesis Paths of thousands of planes, it could be said that his comprehension of inscriptions surpassed everyone else in the Central Plane and other planes.If his comprehension had not surpassed everyone else’s, he would not have comprehended the Feimsurge Art created by Lemuel in such a short time.Looking at the formation hidden in the ruin ahead, James said, “In the past, I did not know why there were such mysterious inscriptions in heaven and earth. Nonetheless, after seeing the Dark Secrets, I understood that such inscriptions were known as primitive inscriptions.”“Primitive inscriptions?” Lemuel glanced at James.“Yeah.”James nodded and explained, “The so-called primitive inscriptions are inscriptions that appeared before the birth of the thousands of planes. All inscriptions in the thousa
He shook his head slightly and said, “I have no idea.”“No idea?” The middle-aged man was also surprised and asked, “I overheard your conversation in the shadows. You were obviously here before. How can you not know whose tomb this is?”James replied, “Please enlighten me.”The middle-aged man glanced at the two of them and smiled, saying, “Don’t be so nervous. I mean no harm.”Despite that being sad, James remained cautious. The middle-aged man looked at the tomb ahead and continued, “This is the tomb of the Glaciem Race’s Lord.”James was aware of the Glaciem Race. He had encountered references to them in the Dark Secrets. However, he had no clear understanding of what the Glaciem Race actually was.The middle-aged man continued, “The Glaciem Race possessed a treasure called the Illus. This treasure instilled fear in the Four Ancient Races of the Dark World, and they united to annihilate the Glaciem Race. However, they failed to obtain the Illus, and it disappeared along with t
Latrusse was an excellent ally and a means for James to infiltrate the Primeval Races. With Latrusse accompanying them, he could rapidly gain knowledge about the Primeval Races and obtain the materials necessary to refine his new physical body.Latrusse was a true powerhouse, with his cultivation realm having reached the middle stage of the Holy Celestial Rank. While he was not privy to James and Lemuel’s communication, he could likely deduce that they did not fully trust him.He smiled and said, “You don’t need to worry. As I mentioned earlier, I have no interest in the Illus. I only want the Ice Sword.”James smiled and gestured, saying, “Please proceed.”Latrusse entered the tomb first, with James and Lemuel following behind. Once inside, they encountered a long passage.James’ expression turned serious as he said, “Don’t underestimate this passage. It may appear simple, but it holds many hidden traps. One slight misstep and it could be deadly.”“This is the supreme formation
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
