Truett snorted and leaped into the sky to take on Yunleiv. He summoned a Golden Sword Light and combined it with the strength of the Marciais Combat Form. Despite only being at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation lower grade, he took the initiative to attack. Yunleiv furiously shattered the golden Sword Light, then prepared for a counterattack. However, Truett’s body suddenly flickered and began rushing toward the Hudde Passage.“Coward! Are you really running away?” Yunleiv cursed, then went after Truett.Lyla noticed Truett’s plan and hurriedly shouted, “Don’t go after—”Unfortunately, it was already too late.After Yunleiv entered the Hudde Passage, the intersection flashed brightly and closed up.“Impossible! How is this happening?” Lyla was perplexed.To Lyla’s knowledge, the Hudde Passage was created by two of the Timaeus Sect’s ancestors with exceptional Supernatural Powers. It was impossible to seal the Hudde Passage without reaching the strength of the Quasi
Truett turned around and said while smiling, “Lyla didn’t want to come! This one guy should be enough, James! Although he consumed a lot of elixirs to improve, he’s still at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation, after all.”James watched Yunleiv shouting from within the Hudde Passage and said disappointedly, “I was hoping that either Xachary or Gladwin showed up.“Oh well. This guy is Xachary’s son, right? With him here, Xachary will come pretty soon. When he shows up, we’ll imprison him in the Forladtt Land and slowly torture him.”James turned to the group behind him and asked, “Who wants to go first? Those with a bigger gap in strength aren’t allowed though.”Rebella looked at James and asked, “Me. Although I’m only at the First Marciais Combat Form, I’m a cultivator at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation uppergrade. My body, bones and soul have reached the same rank. I can use some practice.”“Alright. If you can defeat an opponent at the Yuraeceon
Rebella sighed softly, then thrust out her palm. Her Genesis immediately sent Truett away into the distance. Then, she quickly appeared at the Hudde Passage’s entrance. James unleashed a ray of light and created a gap for her to leave.Rubella said disdainfully, “He wasn’t even an opponent. He was just a punching bag.”James looked at Adair and said, “You’re at the Second Maricias Combat Form already. Do you want to try to take him on?”Adair looked at Truett and said, “We both have the same cultivation rank. We could join forces against him.”“Alright!” James nodded.Adair and Truett instantly entered the Hudde Passage, then launched attacks against Yunleiv.James had purposely planned for their practice session. The Forladtt Land was mysterious, so he used it to their benefit. He deliberately created a magical phenomenon with colorful lights, hoping to lure some of the Timaeus Sect’s powerhouses to the Forladtt Land.Once their curiosity takes over and they enter the Hudde P
Lyla did not respond but stared at Xachary coldly. Their eyes met, and Xachary felt like the powerhouse at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation he had raised was so unfamiliar and ruthless.The Lyla who had always obeyed him and would go through the fire with his order, had completely disappeared.Xachary squinted and said, “You’re not the only one at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation. I could ask Gladwin…”Lyla interrupted him, saying coldly, “Yunleiv will die if you ask him.” His body trembled in shock, and he asked, “What do you mean?”Lyla looked directly into Xachary’s eyes and said, “Must you force me to tell you before being willing to compromise?”Xachary’s face darkened, and he said with hostility, “Do you want to rebel, Lyla?”Lyla sneered, “Rebel? Ask yourself, Master. Since you picked me up when I was six years old, you’ve thrown me into the Daemon Prison. When have you ever cared about my life? I relied on myself to reac
“With your strength, you could crush most cultivators at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation. You should’ve been able to stop the Genesis Black Lotus.“Now that I think about it, everything makes sense. You helped the Dark Heavenly Path merge with the Genesis Black Lotus, allowing her to reach the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation peak and bring chaos upon the Genesis Worlds.”Lyla was disappointed by Xachary’s absurd words to incriminate her. She said, “You’re stubborn, arrogant, and distrusting. Not only that, you never own up to your mistakes. You’re also scheming and exploiting everything you can. That’s the person you are.“You used the same trick to punish the elder who opposed you. Afterward, you did the same to Forty-nine.“You’re only concerned with cultivation, interests, and power. But have you ever trusted anyone in your life? Have you ever reflected on your mistakes?”Xachary’s lips twitched in anger after Lyla blatantly exposed him. “So yo
Lyla appeared at the Hudde Passage and stood at the entrance. She observed the seal for a while, then poured her Genesis into it. “Come out and see me, Forty-nine!”However, she did not receive a reply.Lyla took a deep breath and said again, “Release Yunleiv! I’ll take his place instead. I’m at a higher cultivation rank and have a stronger Genesis. I’ll be a better option if you want to improve!”Her calls were unanswered, and she began to get anxious.“I know you can hear me, Forty-nine! Stop pretending to be inscrutable. I know you’ve already become the Forladtt Land’s master! Come out here!”Lyla grew impatient and cursed, “Bastard! Didn't you create such a big scene to lure me here? Now that I’ve arrived, why are you ignoring me?“Damn it! You’re the reason for everything! Are you not even going to see me one last time?”Just as she finished speaking, she realized someone was watching her. She immediately unleashed her Zen and saw a dark figure nearby. The figure sat on a
Lyla always appeared to be cold as ice and unsympathetic. However, she had always unconditionally fulfilled his request.Looking at her firm and tenacious attitude, James could not help but find her cute. He recalled the time when they last parted ways. Lyla had every chance to kill him in the Forladtt Land and destroy his soul. It was the first time he saw her so helpless and reluctant to make a decision. Ultimately, she could not bring herself to kill him and sealed the Hudde Passage instead.She was initially a contemptuous and arrogant person. However, she changed and began to have feelings. Even so, there was nothing she could do about it. After all, her love was unrequited. Although James had no intention of loving another woman, he could not stop them from harboring feelings for him. He simply could not bring himself to torture someone who had treated him well.After a while, Lyla slowly got up from the ground and asked, “Is that Franciscus’ Curse Magic? It seems you haven’
The evil spirits emitted Qrohm that had reached the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation middle grade. Lyla was curious to find out what cultivation rank James had reached. However, before she could speak, a black-and-white force struck the four violet-gold evil spirits, causing them to rotate rapidly.Lyla watched in shock as the four evil spirits gradually merged into one.The combined evil spirit slowly enlarged with a dazzling red light and did not stop until it reached hundreds of thousands of meters tall.Faced with the behemoth, Lyla could only watch with widened eyes. She asked, “The Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation upper grade?”James said slowly, “I probably won’t be able to defeat you since you’re at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation’s peak. However, I’d like to try. Regardless of the outcome, I’ll agree to your term.”Lyla frowned and asked, “You want to fight me?”James nodded and replied, “You can go all out. I’m prepared to be injured and d
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
