Yui sensed Qiyana’s aura the moment she revealed herself.Turning around, Yui looked at Qiyana who appeared in the ruin. His expression became heavy. “Princess, you’ve finally shown up. Where is Thea?”Upon showing herself, Qiyana looked at Yui and the Thirty-six Umbraguards of the Yeftero Race standing in the dark. She smiled and said, “Yui, I asked you to come here alone. Yet, you came here with the Thirty-six Umbraguards of the Yeftero Race. It seems that you don’t find Thea important. If so, I’ll kill her.”“Don’t you dare.”Yui’s expression darkened. He shouted, “If you touch her, I’ll kill your entire race.”In a cold voice, Qiyana said, “My race has been wiped out by the Ancient Four long ago. I’m the only one left.”Yui took a deep breath. He softened his voice and said, “What do you want?”“I don’t want anything,” said Qiyana dully.She only showed herself to gain more time.“What do you want? Treasures? Supernatural signature skills? As long as you name it, I’ll give
The formation of this place was created by James and set up by Yered and other powerhouses in the Holy Celestial Rank.Not only did the formation have the power of runes, but it also had the power of many powerhouses in the Holy Celestial Rank. Even Yui could sense the terrifying power.Once the formation was triggered, Yui’s expression changed. He wanted to get out of the formation, but it was too late.At once, he and the Thirty-six Umbraguards of the Yeftero Race were trapped in the formation.The formation was created by James. He was adept in formations. He could walk in the formation freely.Hiding in the dark, he observed Yui.Yui withstood the pressure of the formation. The Thirty-six Umbraguards around him resisted the power of the formation temporarily.Still, it was difficult for them to break the formation.They could only focus on not getting hurt.The situation was as James predicted.“Forty-nine, show yourself if you dare. Fight against me. Don’t hide in the da
He began to sense James’ aura as he left the formation. It did not take long for him to pick up on it, and he swiftly pursued James. In almost an instant, he caught up with James, showing no mercy as he launched a prompt attack.A formidable force swept in and attacked James’ back. Despite the assault, his body remained unharmed. Now, it was even stronger than when he was outside the Glaciem Holy Land. Yui’s attacks proved futile.Even though Yui could not harm James, the impact of the powerful force caused the Blood Energy within James’ body to surge. For a moment, James was unable to suppress the turbulent Blood Energy within him. He felt a warmth in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.The powerful force sent James stumbling forward, causing the void to crack into a rift. He entered it, seized and crushed a Pyraxis Rune, and then vanished within the rift.The Pyraxis Rune was a mystical rune enabling disappearance and void teleportation upon activation. However, the resi
However, this was a death trap. The probability of Yui surviving was extremely low.To make the living beings of the Dark World fully believe in the existence of the Theognostos, James had long prepared for this.He had used inscriptions to record everything in this place. Once Yui died, he would disseminate the details of the battle, spreading the information throughout the Dark World.Yui’s expression became solemn. At this moment, the pressure from the formation intensified. Within the formation, Yui suddenly felt a terrifying force sweeping over him. Despite being an early-stage Holy Celestial Rank powerhouse, he could not withstand this pressure, and cracks appeared in his body.Whoosh!In that instant, numerous inscriptions appeared all around. They were mysterious, pulsating and flickering before transforming into Sword Energy. Countless Sword Energies enveloped and surged toward Yui.Yui’s aura instantly reached its peak, and he summoned a longsword in his hand. Waving th
His voice carried a terrifying power, causing even the formidable formation to show signs of disintegrating.“What a terrifying power,” James said with a grave expression as he watched the formation being on the verge of shattering. He immediately commanded, “Maintain the formation with all your strength. If Yui manages to break through today, we will lose face on a grand scale.”If a super killing formation and a peak of Consummation Holy Celestial Rank powerhouse could not kill Yui, his reputation would skyrocket, and the prestige of the Yeftero Race would reach unprecedented heights.Although the super killing formation had injured Yui, it was not fatal. His aura was vigorous like a god of slaughter. Pointing his longsword at Yered, his face darkened as he said, “Today, I’ll kill a peak Consummation Holy Celestial Rank powerhouse and break through this super killing formation.”Facing this scene, Yered remained calm. With a thought, countless inscriptions appeared around him, pu
Yered seemed indifferent while observing this scene. It was unclear whether he was struck by the spectacle or confident in breaking through Yui’s Tethralis Art.Yui’s aura continued to rise. His Essence Energy merged into one, transforming into a column of light shooting into the sky. Simultaneously, the Dark Powers beyond this area rushed toward him, and he avidly absorbed them.“Haha,” he laughed uproariously. “With the Tethralis Art, I can soar to the heavens. Who else can oppose me?”Yui’s laughter echoed.“Fancy tricks.” Facing this, Yered appeared nonchalant. He raised both hands, revealing two distinct runes, each channeling a different power. One was fire, the other was ice. “This brat,” James exclaimed in surprise while seeing the scene. “He comprehended the Glaciem Race’s primitive inscriptions and cultivated the Ice Power in such a short time. Moreover, it seems like he intends to merge fire and ice to create a new force.”At this moment, Yui’s aura surged and surpass
His strength was on par with Yui’s use of the Tethralis Art, rendering Yui unable to harm him. This injury was caused by him exerting all his power and manipulating the injuries within his body.“Damn it,” Yered cursed. He was injured and could not persist for long when unleashing his full strength. If he could not quickly kill Yui, he would succumb to the invasion of Flammae poison. At that point, he would truly lack the strength to defeat Yui.Yui was also shaken by Yered’s power. He had not expected that his full-force attack would be blocked by Yered even after he employed the Tethralis Art.However, he discerned that Yered was also injured and would not be able to maintain his combat effectiveness for long. So was he. He had paid a great price for using the Tethralis Art. Even if he won this battle, he would need to seclude himself for a considerable period upon returning. “Damn,” Yui cursed too. He contemplated escaping, and no one could stop him if he wanted to. Yet, he was
Yered returned to eliminate the Thirty-six Umbraguards of the Yeftero Race.James and the others exchanged glances.“What do we do now?” Maddox asked.James looked at him and said, “You’re a mysterious guard of the Mevryee Race, and no one in the outside world knows of your existence. This mission’s failure won’t implicate the Mevryee Race. You should go back.”“Alright.” Maddox did not say much and vanished into the darkness.“We should plan our next move now,” James said, furrowing his brow. “Yui is too powerful. Although we couldn’t kill him this time, he inflicted severe injuries. The Yeftero Race will surely seek revenge. We need to think about another plan. In my opinion, we need to find a place to hide and observe for some time. Let’s see what moves the Yeftero Race will make.”Jadranka frowned as she said, “The Yeftero Race’s intelligence network is formidable. Where can we hide?”James suggested, “Let’s head to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion headquarters. We have to sear
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
