Truett flinched upon hearing that. The Genesis Power contained in his body went out of control and collided viciously within his body. Truett quickly tried to suppress it. Franciscus’ curse had infiltrated his soul. Truett would have no trouble fixing his condition if he had his full powers. However, he only had powers of the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rankʼs Seventh Tribulation at the moment. Therefore, he was inevitably affected by the curse. Yegor noticed Truettʼs pale complexion, and he was instantly reminded of it. Yegor raised his palm and channeled the Genesis Power toward Truett. Eventually, Truett felt better. He asked curiously, “Dad, you’re saying that you-know-who had the same level of skills and powers as my opponent too?” Franciscus’ name became taboo across the different Genesis Worlds because of his curse. Therefore, everyone would use you-know-who to refer to him. “No.” Yegor shook his head. “Back then, you know who could defeat cultivators way superior to him as well
“Havenʼt I trained diligently all this while?” Truettʼs voice was shaking. “Have I not done everything well enough?” “No.” Yegor stared into Truettʼs eyes. “As Yegor Sadlerʼs son, you need to work harder than everyone else. You need to have exceptional powers but keep a low profile. That would prove that you did not misuse your status as Skynetʼs young master to have things go your way.” “Your ego and arrogance grew as others kept heaping praises on you. Those are the very things that are stopping you from improving in your cultivation. They also limit you from seeing our worlds and your surroundings objectively.” “Think about it. How long have you been stuck on the Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Fifth Tribulation?” “All you ever cared about back then was to find more battle opponents or to look for superb signature skills. Yet, you completely overlooked the importance of improving your mental fortitude.” Yegor stood up and let out a sigh. “However, mental fortitude plays a huge pa
Soon enough, nine epochs had passed. With enough supplies of Genesis Cores and the effects of the time formation, Stephen managed to enter the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rankʼs Second Tribulation eventually. Surprisingly, he did not experience much difficulty when facing the Heavenly Tribulation triggered by his leveling up. It turned out that the Quasar Lightning found on James’ Golden Body could affect the intensity of a Heavenly Tribulation. The lightning had attracted and absorbed a majority of the Heavenly Tribulationʼs powers aiming for Stephen. After that, Stephen healed all of the injuries sustained during the Heavenly Tribulation by drawing the powers of three Yuraeceon Daelm Rank Genesis Cores. James undid the time formation not too long after that. When all of them exited the main hall, they saw someone standing in the distance with their backs facing the entrance. “It’s Mr. Truett,” Stephen lifted his brows as he whispered to the others. “Didnʼt he leave after throwing a
However, there was a huge difference between one realizing the truth for themselves and someone telling you the truth. The former was a moment of epiphany. Truett being able to have this much understanding of himself was a sign that he had great potential. Suddenly, Truett got down on his knees. “I’ll follow your orders starting today, James. I am willing to accept any punishment if you find anything lacking in what I do.” James said unhurriedly, “I donʼt need a servant. What I am looking for is a brave and trustworthy friend who is willing to face any difficult situations with me.” “Get up. My friends donʼt have to kneel before anyone, regardless of their powers and status.” Truettʼs face lit up, and he immediately stood up. “When can you regain your full powers?” James asked. Truett sighed. “It’ll take at least an entrapoch.” James nodded. “Do you think you can avoid being detected if you are to join the Timaeus Sectʼs test?” “You’re underestimating the efficacy o
Outside Beauregard, hundreds of thousands of cultivators had gathered to participate in the Timaeus Sectʼs test. These men were all members of the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rankʼs First to Seventh Tribulation that belonged to the seven mountains of the Timaeus Sect. The priestesses of each mountain stood in front of their members and held a huge flag carrying the name of their mountain. As compared to the other groups which had huge numbers of members attending the occasion, the group from Mount Martialis was pitifully small. Only a little over eighty members from Mount Martialis had turned up for the test. James and his companions happened to stand in the first line right behind the Mount Martialisʼ flag. According to Truett, participants would need to pass three rounds of tests for the Beauregard Test. In the first round, thirty-six Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Ninth Tribulation cultivators from Beauregard would release their Genesis Qrohms simultaneously. Those who could hold up again
Many weaker cultivators could not sustain the pressure and plummeted from the sky. A few who forcefully resisted felt the burden and began to vomit blood. Eventually, they also fell under the Genesis Qrohm’s suppression.James frowned and used his body’s Genesis Power to resist the force. He stretched out his arms, grabbing both Truett and Quattro.Xzavion noticed James’ intentions and quickly grabbed onto his arm. The group shared their forces and helped balance each other’s rioting Blood Energy.Mount Martialis’ disciples, who were behind them, quickly copied them. They held hands and balanced their Genesis Power.James’ tactic proved quite effective. They felt lucky to see the other living beings falling under the force.More cultivators began falling from the sky as the Genesis Qrohm grew more vigorous. In just a few moments, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of living beings could not resist and chose to let the aura take them out.Meanwhile, James’ group continued
“People still in the void can come down now.” Suddenly, a powerful voice resounded. James turned his head and checked on his friends. Just when they were about to head down to the ground, they were stopped by Mount Martialis’ Saintess, who was holding a large banner.Mount Martialis’ Saintess’ name was Lucille Babs. She was one of the two powerhouses of Mount Martialis who had reached the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank. She wore a translucent snow-white robe and looked incredibly seductive. Lucille held the flag and said smilingly, “Impressive! You guys passed the first round. It’s a first for Mount Martialis! However, don’t be complacent with your achievements. There’s still the second and third rounds waiting for you.”Then, she smiled seductively and said, “I promise to reward you guys if you do well. Except for that pig, I’ll sleep with whoever passes the test for two days. And if you come out on top in the Forladtt Trial, I’ll become your partner.”James and his friends were surprise
Truett said coldly, “These losers have gone too far. Let me teach them a lesson, James.”James narrowed his eyes and said, “You’re no longer a powerhouse at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Fifth Tribulation.”Truett shouted furiously, “I can kill them even with just one-tenth of my strength.”James grabbed him and whispered, “The real tests await us behind. You must get through this hurdle.”Truett had a reluctant expression.James patted his shoulder and said, “Listen to me on this one.”Truett stuttered, “I…”James stared at Truett, “Am I your friend?”Truett instantly calmed down and helplessly returned to his position.James smiled calmly at the sneering crowd around him. He had seen many arrogant people in the past, but in the end, he trampled all of them under his feet.Faced with their ridicule, James remained calm. He was practically invincible against opponents below the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank’s Seventh Tribulation.Soon enough, the crowd’s attention shifted, and they excl
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
