Everyone was curious about how the Yefteros would deal with James from the Central Plane.The Dark World’s various races sent powerhouses to the Yefteros’ headquarters. Meanwhile, James also made his way into the Yeftero World disguised as a burly man. He stepped forward and immediately appeared outside a city that was close to the Yefteros’ spiritual mountain.Yeftero City was the most prosperous place in the Yeftero World. It was also the Yefteros’ core city.It was destroyed in the previous battle. However, the Yefteros’ powerhouses restored it after they returned.James stood on the ancient road outside the city. He looked at the mountain range in the distance. Seeing that the formation had been deactivated, he fell into thought.At that moment, a group approached the city from a distance. Walking in the forefront was an elderly man wearing a fiery red robe, and several powerhouses followed behind him.“It’s the Flammae!”James’ brows furrowed upon seeing the elderly man.
Powerful Primevals from all over the Dark World gathered in the Yeftero’s headquarters. James, who had changed his appearance and aura, hid amongst the crowd outside the Yefteros’ main hall. He was looking forward to seeing what the Yefteros were about to do.Hacathra sat in the highest seat of the main hall. His expression was grim as he scanned the powerhouses with hawk-eyed scrutiny. Soon, he broke the silence, saying solemnly, “Has everyone arrived?“Some time ago, our race had sealed away our spiritual mountain after a minor incident. During this period, many of our formerly-owned worlds were occupied.”Hacathra did not waste time beating around the bush.A few powerhouses felt shivers down their spines. It seemed that the Yefteros wanted to use this opportunity to condemn their actions.Meanwhile, the other races that had not seized any territory secretly counted their blessings for not acting rashly.Hacathra’s gaze fixated on Talvelai.The Mevryees were the most active
Talvelai noticed the grim expressions on the faces of the Yefteros’ powerhouses. He turned to the other race’s powerhouses in the hall and shouted, “The Yefteros have been taking advantage of their dominance and secretly eliminating other major forces. The Glacies and Shadowers are the very few victims of theirs.“They even tried to destroy the Mevryees. Unfortunately, their plan has failed.“The Yefteros are very ambitious. As the Four Ancient Race’s leaders, they’ve never considered the other Dark World races’ well-being. Instead, they only think about their own interests.”Talvelai’s voice resounded loudly.“Presumptuous!” Hacathra jumped to his feet, pointed at Talvelai, and shouted, “Are you trying to rebel, Talvelai?!!”“Haha!” Talvelai laughed. “Rebel? What do you mean? Who am I rebelling against? The Yefteros? Do you really think the Yefteros are the rulers of the Dark World? Are the Dark World’s other races slaves to the Yefteros? The Mevryees are part of the Four Ancient
The Yefteros wanted to use the other major races to eliminate James and seize the Central Plane.For a long time, nobody dared to disobey the Yefteros. However, Talvelai was openly challenging them.Xayvion, who had been silent since the beginning of the conference, suddenly stood up. Then, he slowly walked toward Talvelai.He stopped before Talvelai and said solemnly, “Well, would you like to settle in the Central Plane and become its new lord instead?”Xayvion released a powerful aura. Although Talvelai had entered the Ritual Rank, he still stumbled backward in the face of Xayvion’s aura.Despite Xayvion’s threatening aura, Talvelai remained unfazed. He looked at Xayvion and said calmly, “Your race is trying to use us to deal with James. It’s a grudge between your race and James. We have nothing to do with this, but you want us to risk our lives for you?”“You must have a death wish!” Xayvion had a darkened face. He suddenly raised his hand, and a potent force emerged in his pa
Xayvion offered benefits to the other races, hoping they would dispatch all their forces.The powerhouses began to discuss in hushed voices.“The Yefteros must have a deep hatred for James and are desperate to destroy him.”“The primitive inscriptions James possesses are valuable. It’s quite a fair deal.”“It seems I’ll have to request my Grand Patriarch to participate in this operation.”The powerhouses expressed their opinions.James hid amongst the crowd, paying attention to the meeting. He never expected the Yefteros to announce to give up the loot.The benefits were tempting enough for all of these races to take action. Even if they were unwilling, they wanted to avoid offending the Yefteros. Otherwise, the Yefteros would want their revenge in the future.The other races were more willing to participate now that the Yefteros were letting go of the benefits.Talvelai’s expression became solemn, not expecting the Yefteros to be so generous.Xayvion hovered in the void and
James and Talvelai met up in a desolate area of the Dark World.Talvelai looked at James and said solemnly, “I’m afraid the battle will be fierce. The Yefteros have given up so many benefits. The other races will definitely go all out. It will not be an easy hurdle for you and the Central Plane to overcome.”“Yeah,” James nodded lightly and said, “I’m well aware. I have to head back and make immediate preparations. I’ll try to intercept the Dark World’s powerhouses outside the plane. I don’t want the battle to reach the Central Plane.”Talvelai looked at him and asked, “How confident are you?” After briefly thinking about it, James replied, “I’m not very confident. It depends on how many powerhouses are hidden amongst the Dark World’s various races. I'll surely win if the Dark World’s overall strength is as on the surface. However, the odds will change if many hidden powerhouses show up.”“What do you need me to do?” asked Talvelai.James answered, “You continue hiding for now.
James disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared at the intersection of the plane and the Dark World. He summoned some magical inscriptions from the plane and gathered them into a powerful formation.The inscriptions were of the new plane’s Genesis Path.Even a powerhouse at the Quasi Bliss Rank could not forcibly break the formation. Only those proficient in the new plane’s Genesis Path could shatter the formation.With the formation, James would not have to worry about the new plane shattered when the battle broke out.Immediately afterward, several cities appeared at the plane’s border.James’ voice resounded throughout the entire plane.“Everyone in the new world. I’ve got an announcement to make. Our world is about to be attacked. I’d like to ask for the support of all powerhouses to resist the Dark World’s powerhouses.“Cultivators above the Martial Celestial Rank, please head to the plane’s border immediately and prepare for the impending war.”The powerhous
Qauttro appeared, beaming with a bright smile.James immediately sensed that Quattro was up to no good. He looked at Quattro and asked calmly, “What’s the matter?”Quattro walked over, sat beside James, and said, “It’s nothing, really. But you see, we’re going to war very soon. Whether or not we secure this plane is not guaranteed. You’ve mastered so many Supernatural Powers and primitive inscriptions, so why don’t you give me some? It’ll be easier for me to help you protect this world if my cultivation rank improves.”James looked at him and asked, “What do you want to learn?”Quattro replied seriously, “The Genesis Path of the new world. If you teach it to me, I’ll help you keep control over this world.”Before James went to Stephen, Quattro was his first candidate as the new world’s lord.However, Quattro has proven to be quite unreliable. James was worried that Qauttro would become uncontrollable and decided he was unfit to rule.“Maybe another time,” James replied casually,
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
