“I’m finally back, Mount Martialis!”James stood before Mount No. 3, looking at the “home” he had left behind. At that moment, several familiar figures suddenly appeared in the hall.“You’re finally back, General! Great!”“I heard you were trapped, Master! Are you alright?”“It seems you’ve grown stronger. Are you already at the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank’s Sixth Tribulation?”“Did they make things hard for you?” After listening to everyone’s concerns, James gave them each a hug. He never expected Xzavion, Stephen, and Truett, who had participated in the third test, to have already returned. Additionally, Quattro had also shown up. The group was reunited once again.James looked at them and replied, “I’m fine, but you guys look otherwise.”The group looked at each other, troubled. James asked, “How’s everything? Did you guys pass the third test at the Demon Region?”Xzavion, Stephen, and Truett lowered their heads at his question.James frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t
Truett looked at James and said firmly, “I’ll even risk my life for you! What do you need me to do?”James raised his hand and created a Soundproof Barrier around the group. Then, he summoned the Grimlore Map. Truett looked at the Grimlore Map in shock and said, “How is this in your possession? It’s one of Skynet’s most valuable treasures.”“Your father gave it to me,” James replied, then pointed to the connecting area of Skynet District and the Dark Genesis World. “Skynet controls such a vast district. I’m sure you guys have a way into our world, right?“I need you to send my friends back to the Dark Genesis World.”Truett, Stephen, and Quattro widened their eyes, surprised by James’ request.“You want us to return to the Dark Genesis World?”“Why do you want us to go back, Master?”Xzavion, on the other hand, looked at James and said, “I see. You’re planning to create a secret passage in the Dark Genesis World that leads to the Ancient Genesis World?”“Yes.” James nodded, t
Skynet’s Demon Dungeon neighboured the Dark Genesis World. Countless restrictions and formations were set up in the area. Within the vast universes were numerous powerhouses at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank standing on guard.James and his friends teleported through the map and arrived at the Demon Dungeon. Truett immediately met up with one of the elders guarding the dungeon.After a quick conversation, Truett successfully obtained permission to clear an area for living beings from the Dark World to stay.Now that accommodation was settled, James used the Judgment Scythe and called upon evil power to forcibly slice a narrow passage from the Demon Dungeon to the Dark Genesis World.At the same time, he cast Franciscus’ Curse Magic to crack the formations at the borders of the Dark Genesis World. Then, he cast a Eight Trigram Formation that consisted of the Eight Doors—Life, Harm, Rest, Obstacle, Scenery, Death, Fear and Open.The Eight Doors served as the entrances and exits connecting
Two powerhouses at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank immediately appeared behind Truett, staring at him fiercely.James waved his hand and explained hurriedly, “I asked him for the favor. If you need to punish someone, it should be me. I’ll bear full responsibility.”“His crime is not in his actions but in his heart.” Yegor waved his hand.The two powerhouses lifted Truett from the ground and dragged him away.James was speechless by the situation. Yegor had shown him compassion and kindness in the past. He was open and approachable, yet he was very strict toward his son.Yegor looked at James and said, “This has nothing to do with you. He attempted to hide such a big matter from me. That’s not how a son should act.”James laughed, saying, “It would’ve been impossible to open the passage without your approval. After all, it’s a very huge deal.”Yegor stared at James and said, “I must remind you that opening a passage to the Dark Genesis World comes with great risks. You should already kn
James fell silent, finally understanding why the living beings from the Timaeus Sect wanted to choose disciples below the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank’s Seventh Tribulation to participate in the Forladtt Trial.One must have great talent to pass the three tests. After qualifying, one could easily reach the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation before the Forladtt Teleportation Formation if given enough cultivation resources.The Timaeus Sect was highly interested in the Forladtt Trial and had a well-thought-out plan. Now, it made sense why they did not punish James even after he robbed the Yaquis Sect and instead gave him whatever he asked for.As he thought of this, James took out the mysterious map he had acquired from Lyla and said, “Please help me have a look at this, sir. I can’t understand it at all. It doesn’t seem to be about Three Thousand Great Genesis Worlds or the Three Thousand Micro Genesis Worlds.”Yegor quickly scanned the map, and his expression changed. “Where did this
Yegor took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, and said, “I know I can’t change your mind, but take my silly son with you.”James refused decisively, “The Forladtt Land is extremely dangerous. He shouldn’t be there. Many other opportunities will arise in the future.”After speaking, James opened up the Grimlore Map and disappeared from the spot.Yegor was about to speak but swallowed his words after James left.At that moment, Truett limped in, covered in bloodstains.When he saw that Yegor was the only one standing in the garden, he frowned and asked, “Where did my friend go, Dad?”“He left,” Yegor sighed deeply.Truett frowned and said, “He left? He didn’t wait for me? How can he be so unfaithful?!!”Yegor glared at him and reprimanded him, “Nonsense. He’s the most righteous person I’ve seen in a long time.”Truett noticed something was wrong with his father’s expression and immediately knew something was off. He ignored the pain in his body and rushed over.“What
After James left Skynet’s headquarters, he robbed another small sect of the Ancient Genesis World for resources. Then, he used the Grimlore Map to teleport to the Timaeus Sect.His disgust toward the Timaeus Sect peaked after he learned about the truth. When he returned to Mount Martialis, he made sure nobody saw him. Then, he set up a time formation and began cultivating his Golden Body.With Lesia’s guidance, James upgraded his Golden Body to the second stage. Previously, he lacked information about the Golden Bod, but after Lesia explained it, he had a clearer picture.His Golden Body was from the Marciais Combat Form and was divided into four stages—Primeval Golden Body, Genesis Golden Body, Holy Golden Body and Ultimate Golden Body.James had already reached the second stage, the Genesis Golden Body. He could unleash powerful attacks and defenses comparable to those of a powerhouse at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s First Tribulation.At that moment, James’ Genesis Divine Light a
Thea suddenly interjected, saying, “We’re not friends, but I’m willing to die with you too.”“...”James thought, ‘With the two of you here, there’s a high chance we die together.’At that moment, the masked man standing on the steps of the main hall finally spoke.“Danger and great treasures coexist within the Forladtt Trial. Everyone should work together to make the Timaeus Sect proud.”“If the other sects provoke you, kill them without mercy. Those who manage to kill other sect’s participants will be rewarded handsomely. However, our sect will not avenge you if you’re killed.“Our sect has always valued strength. Everyone here is the best selected from trillions of disciples from the Timaeus Sect. I strongly believe everyone will be able to encounter great boons of your own.”After speaking, the masked man waved his hand. At that moment, radiant energy balls appeared in front of each participant.The masked man said coldly, “Each of you get a hundred elixirs at the Yuraeceon
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
