Latrusse and Lemuel held off the Shadowers, trying to snatch James’ treasures.James left the area but could feel the terrifying battle fluctuation coming from behind him. He was afraid to linger around and kept advancing.He did not stop moving until he could no longer sense fluctuations in the air. However, he was met with a surprise after halting in his tracks. He backed away after seeing the figure who had mysteriously appeared in front of him.The person was dressed in a black robe, with his back to James, making it hard to tell the person’s gender or age.Suddenly, the person turned around, but a beautiful mask blocked James from seeing the person’s appearance.“The peak of the Martial Celestial Rank?” James looked at the masked powerhouse before him nervously. Now that Latrusse and Lemuel were not with him, it would be hard for him to escape.“Hand them over,” the masked powerhouse reached out and demanded with a hoarse voice.Swoosh!A Sword Energy slashed down from the
Although Latrusse and Lemuel stalled the Shadowers from chasing up James, one managed to sneak away. The assassin caught up with James. Fortunately, Yuvin intervened and saved James.After James was safe, he rushed toward the Death Triangle without a break.He did not have to worry about Latrusse and Lemuel. The two of them were powerful, so even the Shadowers could not cause substantial harm to them.After traveling through the Dark World for some time, James finally arrived at the Death Triangle. He did not enter the area recklessly. Instead, he set up a time formation nearby and began to cultivate.Although he could kill powerhouses at the Great Celestial Rank’s late stage with the Supremusse Sword and Tressencia Completare Art, his cultivation base was still too weak. Compared to the Yefteros, he had some serious catching up to do.James took out a few rare herbs from the storage treasure and began to refine them without hesitation. At that moment, he had an abundant amount of
“Alright.” James gave Lemuel the Genesis Paths of 10,000 planes without hesitation.James was aware that he would not have left alive without Latrusse and Lemuel’s help, nor would he be able to keep his resources.“I’m also interested in the Genesis Paths.” Latrusse looked at James.James naturally understood the intention behind his words. After a slight hesitation, he waved his hand, and a few mysterious inscriptions emerged in front of Lemuel. Then, James said, “Thanks for the help. Here’s the Genesis Paths of ten thousand planes.”“Don’t mention it.” Latrusse stored the inscriptions away.James looked at the space ahead of them and said, “According to the map, this should be the Death Triangle.”Latrusse nodded and answered, “Yeah. It’s the Death Triangle.”Lemuel asked, “What’s the story behind the Death Triangle?”Latrusse shook his head and replied, “I’m not sure. The Dark World is too vast, and many special spaces exist. Many of them are uninhabited since they can be ve
The group stood in the bleak and barren land. James looked around and said, “According to the map, we’ve already arrived. But this area looks like an ancient battlefield. I don’t see the Glacies’ Princess.”Latrusse observed their surroundings and said, “Back away.”Lemuel pulled James, taking a few steps backward.Latrusse activated his powers, and a powerful force permeated the air. The gravel on the ground rolled into the air, and a bottomless pit appeared in their sight.They walked over to the pit and stared down, finding no end in sight.“It must be down there. However, I sense a very powerful formation. It should also be formed with the Glacies’ primitive inscriptions. We’re counting on you, Forty-nine,” said Latrusse.James nodded lightly in response.The group groped into the abyss, slowly descending to the bottom. Soon, they reached a formation blocking their path.The formation was made with Ice Curse. Even great powerhouses would find it hard to break, but it was
The three of them backed away.After the shadow manifested, they could see it was a man dressed in a black robe. He was expressionless, and his eyes emitted a faint red glow. He stared at the group blankly.James had goosebumps just from his gaze.“What the hell is that? It’s so strange.” James took another step backward and stared at the man warily.Latrusse noticed something and said, “It doesn’t have a body under the black robe.”“It’s a fragmented soul,” Lemuel continued his sentence.At that moment, the shadowy figure suddenly attacked.Latrusse and Lemuel quickly sprung into action to block his attack. However, they were blasted away upon impact and slammed into the stone wall behind them. The wall was destroyed and formed a pile of rubble. They climbed out in disheveled states and spat out blood.The shadowy figure managed to injure both of them with just one blow. He stood motionless in the same spot. Without saying a word, he stared at the uninvited guests before him.
James and Lemuel could not believe a treasure passed down among the Glacies’ was a powerhouse that had turned into a walking corpse.“It’s just a speculation of mine. I can’t be sure yet,” Latrusse explained.Lemuel asked, “What should we do now? That guy was trying to prevent us from entering the stone gate. If we don’t leave, he'll surely come back again.”Latrusse was also at a loss. After thinking for a while, he said, “Let’s ignore him. Forty-nine, focus on understanding the inscriptions here. If that guy is the Ice Spirit and returns to attack us, then Lemuel and I will join forces to get rid of him.”Latrusse knew the mysterious powerhouse was terrifyingly strong and could crush him and Lemuel. However, he lacked a body and did not seem intelligent. Even if he had some kind of consciousness, it was incomplete. He was a being with very low intelligence. Thus, Latrusse concluded they could destroy him if they joined forces.“Alright.” James quickly sat in a lotus position and
The group thought the mysterious powerhouse would reappear after the stone door opened. However, they were wrong. The man they suspected to be the Ice Spirit did not make another appearance.The trio carefully walked through the stone door.Beyond the door was an ordinary stone chamber with a crystal coffin in the center. They walked over and pushed open the lid.A beautiful woman with long black hair was lying in the crystal coffin. A white dress clung to her delicate body. She had crystal clear skin, and a thin layer of frost covered her body.“This should be the Glacies’ Princess, right?”“I remember she has a special physique. I think it’s called a Glaciem Profound Body.”Lemuel and Latrusse stared at the woman lying inside the coffin.James casually waved his hand and summoned a few inscriptions. Mysterious powers emerged from the inscriptions and submerged into the woman’s body, gradually lifting the seal placed on her.The group watched intently as the seal was deactivat
None of them were too surprised that the man before them was the Ice Spirit. After all, Latrusse had already suggested the possibility before.Latrusse turned to Qiyana and asked curiously, “There are countless myths about the Glacies’ Ice Spirit. Could you enlighten us about it?”Qiyana fell into thought. After a while, she took a deep breath and said, “There are indeed many stories about the Ice Spirit. Most of them are false rumors, but some are real.”The three men’s curiosity was immediately piqued.Qiyana looked at them and said, “His real name is Qairo Burrein. He was a super genius of our race. We’ve been secretly training him and never allowed him to make any public appearances. He didn’t let us down and kept improving steadily. He entered the Holy Celestial Rank and ultimately reached the Quasi Bliss Rank.”She paused for a while, then said, “While trying to enter the Transcendental Bliss Rank, something unexpected happened. We integrated our race’s precious treasure, th
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
