James looked at the scene before him and analyzed the Heavenly Flame Formation. Suddenly, he said, “I can break that formation.”Haleth turned to James in shock. His grim expression was replaced with a smile. “There’s a lovely young lady in our race who isn’t married yet. Her beauty is out of this world and should be worthy of you. Would you like to meet her?”James immediately backed away and said, “No, thanks. I’m not interested in women. I only want to cultivate.”“You don’t understand. The journey of cultivation is tough, and you should have a partner to brighten up the boring days,” Haleth insisted.However, James remained uninterested in the topic. His main concern at the moment was Latrusse. After all, Latrusse had provided him with a lot of help.Without Latrusse, he would not have gained a foothold in the Dark World, nor would he have obtained an unrivaled physical body.“Am I allowed to give him tips to break the formation?” asked James.“Well…” After giving it some t
Latrusse said gratefully, “Thank you.”“It’s not me you should be thanking. It’s Forty-nine.” After saying a few words, Halter quickly disappeared.Latrusse was surprised by his words but put the matter behind him. Then, he held Lea’s hand and left the Flammae’s spiritual mountain.Outside the Flammae’s spiritual mountain, a man sat on a rock with a beautiful woman beside him. Upon seeing Latrusse and Lea, he whistled, then said smilingly, “I didn’t expect you to be a hopeless romantic.”Latrusse walked over, sat down nearby, and asked, “What are you doing here?”Lea followed and stood closely behind him.“I was afraid you’d get into trouble, so I came to help,” James said teasingly.“Fucker,” Latrusse cussed him out. Then, he stood up and said happily, “Let me introduce you. My wife, Lea.”James complimented her, “What a beauty. It’s no wonder Latrusse would risk his life for you. He even willingly entered the Heavenly Flame Formation to save you. If it weren’t for my help, yo
Xoel appeared and instantly rained on James’ parade. He sat down, crossed his legs, and said, “By the way, I’ll give you a piece of information for free. We just received news that Yui and Thea’s wedding date has been confirmed. The two races are currently planning the wedding, so there isn’t much time left for you.”As a supervisor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Xoel had first-hand access to a lot of information. Even James’ identity was not a secret to him anymore. He easily found out after briefly going through the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s information.Even though James had hidden the Endlos Plane, it was not hard for the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to find out about the truth.James was not surprised his real identity had been exposed. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was incredibly capable, and he had already experienced how good they were at gathering information some time ago.He frowned after learning of the news, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.“I was plann
After informing Thea, Yuvin returned to his residence and set up a formation. He sat down in a lotus position and activated the communication inscription.His Zen teleported to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion in the Flame City, and an illusory body of his appeared in front of James. Gradually, the illusory body became opaque.James was not surprised to see Yuvin. He immediately inquired, “Do you have a way to kill Yui?”Yuvin scanned the room, checking who was present.James reassured him, “Don’t worry. They are trustworthy.”Yuvin sighed and said, “It will not be easy to kill Yui, and I won’t be able to provide much help. I can only send our race’s secret guard to assist you.”“Is he strong?” asked James.Yuvin nodded and said, “Yeah, he’s pretty strong. He’s at the Holy Celestial Rank’s middle stage. He’s our secret weapon and was trained to resolve problems we can’t deal with publicly. Basically, he’s our clan’s assassin.”“Alright. Send him to me. I’ll wait for him here,” sai
James’ only option was to ask Yered for help. However, Yered might be unable to use his full strength since he was injured and infected by the Flammae poison. Other than Yered, James had no other choice. He stood up and said, “Wait for me here. I’ll go to the Flammae.”After speaking, James stood up and disappeared from the room. The next moment, he was already outside the Flammae’s gate.“It’s Forty-nine.” James’ voice resounded in the area.Soon, the Flammae’s leader, Halter, appeared. He asked smilingly, “Didn’t you already leave? Why are you back here?”James replied honestly, “I’ve got an important matter to discuss with Yered.”“I see. Come with me.”James had comprehended the Flammae’s primitive inscriptions and Flammae Curse in a very short period. After witnessing James’ strong comprehension abilities, Halter planned to maintain a friendly relationship with him. Thus, Halter did not turn James away and brought him to see Yered.Upon noticing James, Yered asked, “What
Halter asked, “Are you sure about this?”Yered nodded lightly and said, “I’ve already obtained the Glacies’ primitive inscriptions. After studying for some time, I’m confident in mastering the Ice Curse. It’s only a matter of time before I fully recover. I might even be able to enter the Quasi Bliss Rank. After my recovery, I’ll make a high-profile appearance. Soon, we won’t have to fear the Four Ancient Races anymore. Even if the Yefteros find out I killed Yui, they won’t be able to do anything to me.”Although Yered was arrogantly confident, he had the strength to back him up. He was at the Holy Celestial Rank’s Consummation. In the past, he failed to enter the Quais Bliss Rank. Now that he had another chance, he was determined to succeed.Halter stopped trying to persuade him.After leaving the Flammae’s spiritual mountain, James returned to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.“How did it go?” Latrusse immediately inquired.James said, “It’s almost settled. I’ve already asked the F
“A new ranking of the Dark World and the outside planes’ Supernatural Powers has been released. The first on the list is Forty-nine’s Tressencia Completare Art.”All the Primevals had heard about the new Supernatural Powers ranking published by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Nobody was surprised by the Supernatural Powers ranked second to ten. However, the Tressencia Completare Art, which was ranked first, attracted much attention.“What’s Forty-nine’s background?”“Isn’t he the guy that fought in the Yefteros’ arena?”“His Tressencia Completare Art topped the list?”“That’s outrageous.”The release of the new ranking became a hot topic in the Dark World. Those who had made it into the ranking found it unreasonable that the Tressencia Completare Art was above them.James, who was in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, also learned about the ranking from Xoel.“Congratulations, Forty-nine. From now on, you’re no longer a nobody. Instead, you’re the creator of the strongest Supernatur
James nodded and said, “Okay. After the Mevryees’ secret guard appears, we’ll visit the Medicuses.”After speaking, James headed to the backyard. He set up a formation and planned to use the extra time to improve his Feimsurge Art.The Feimsurge Art was useful to him. The Feimsurge Art’s fifth stage was Immortality, and the sixth stage was Eternity.The minimum requirement for cultivating the fifth stage was the Petit Celestial Rank. James had already reached the Petit Celestial Rank’s late stage and met the condition to enter the Feimsurge Art’s fifth stage.James sat down inside the time formation, and several Feimsurge Inscriptions circled him.The Feimsurge Inscriptions Lemuel created were very mysterious. They contained mysterious powers and the truth, which were hard for ordinary living beings to understand.Fortunately, James had no difficulty comprehending them. All he needed was some time before he could completely understand them.James focused on his cultivation.The
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
