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
“Begone, Genesis Divine Light!”Suddenly, a child-like voice resounded. Immediately afterward, Lyla’s Genesis Divine Light exploded. Without her protection, her whole body began to tremble within the Quasar Lightning. Even her soul felt numb from the powerful energy waves passing through her body.Lyla was about to launch a counterattack when she saw two spiritual bodies, one red and one blue, rushing toward her from both sides.She raised her hand, and dozens of golden dragons emerged from her delicate body, then quickly dashed at the two spiritual bodies.Unfortunately, Hemera and Fennec destroyed her golden dragons were destroyed almost instantly. Then, they began their series of attacks.The scorching flames and violent winds put Lyla at a significant disadvantage.“Damn it!” Lyla roared, then summoned a shining golden sword.Hemera pounced on her but was instantly knocked away by the sword.Fennec, who noticed the danger, quickly retreated. Then, he attacked with a wave of
Lyla said coldly, “You haven’t used full strength yet? It seems you’ve indeed grown very powerful. An ordinary cultivator at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation’s peak won’t be able to do anything against.”While speaking, Lyla slashed out her giant sword. In an instant, a Sword Formation consisting of tens of thousands of Sword Lights emerged. Numerous golden dragons surrounded the formation, giving it a very extravagant look.James pointed at her and said, “You’ve got a bad temper. It’s time I extinguish that burning rage in you.”Then, James activated the Third Marciais Combat Form, and his body emitted a gray light. At the same time, the Tai Chi below his feet began to rotate and move toward Sword Formation.Soon enough, the Sword Formation was destroyed. James got close to Lyla and attacked a few thousand times. His Amethyst-Gold Power combined with black and gray forces then enveloped Lyla.The Galeat Wind roared, and the Wraithflame, as well as Quasar Lightning
James was speechless. Lyla simply could not believe that he was a match against her while only at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Eight Tribulation. After all, she was a powerhouse at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation.Lyla stared at James for a while, then suddenly lifted his arm and bit down.However, James could not feel anything. Lyla gave up. She swung James’ arm away, then flew to a collapsed mountain range and sat down. She hugged her legs and appeared to be discouraged. She pondered whether James was truly only at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Eight Tribulation. If he were telling the truth, the battle’s results would greatly humiliate her. However, oddly enough, she could not find out James’ cultivation rank.“Gray clouds and the chimes of ten thousand bells. The Marciais Combat Form that surpasses Genesis Power. Nirvana Golden Bones and a body emitting colorful light rays. Pure cultivation power and great achievements.”Lyla raised
James asked, “Are you here on Xachary’s behalf?”Lyla sighed softly, “He’s stronger than Timaeus Sect’s Leader, Xachary, now. He’s probably trying to win us over to help him overthrow Xachary.James immediately looked sat Lyla and said, “Win us over? If he has enough to offer, why not?”Lyla was speechless. After a while, she said, “The Timaeus Sect is not like it used to be. Now that Xachary has dropped to the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation, chaos will break out pretty soon.”James exclaimed, “Wait a minute. What did you just say? How is he still the sect leader when his cultivation rank dropped?”This time, James did not communicate telepathically. Instead, he said it out loud for Gladwin to hear as well.Before Lyla could answer, Gladwin smiled and said arrogantly, “You’re right. The Timaeus Sect’s Leader must be at the Quasi Daelcon Rank. Now that his cultivation rank has dropped, he should surrender his position.“Moreover, he schemed to have you enter the Forladt
Gladwin was not expecting James to be so straightforward. He laughed and said, “You’re quite forthright, aren’t you? I’ll cut to the chase. If you two return to the Timaeus Sect and work with me, I can offer you three benefits. You can choose either one.”James smiled but said nothing. Meanwhile, Lyla seemed utterly uninterested.Gladwin suppressed his smile and said seriously, “The first offer is the position as the Great Protector and law enforcement elder. You can control the sect’s internal affairs and dominate the Genesis Words with your strengths.“The second offer is that I can provide you with enough resources and give all my support if you decide to create your own force.“Lastly, you can rejoin Mount Martialis and become its master. I will also give my full support.”James looked at Gladwin, not masking his disappointment in the offers.He seemed to be giving great benefits, but he was making sure they were still under him and could be used at his disposal. Gladwin co
Thea had not recovered her past memories, so she could not care less about James. In her eyes, cultivators at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation were simply resources to her.James thought he could reunite with her after finding her reincarnation. However, it seems that not meeting her was the best option. Otherwise, he would have to die.He looked at Lyla and asked, “What do you think about Gladwin’s proposal?”Lyla asked coldly, “Do you also want to become his pawn?”James sighed, “I’m just worried about the Saintess.”Lyla was stunned by his reply. After a brief moment, she said, “Gladwin doesn’t have her. Xachary hid her somewhere, and nobody knows where she is now.“I think she wouldn’t be in danger for now. After all, she has already mastered the Light Heavenly Path. With Xachary’s character, he most likely wants to use her for something bigger.”Lyla looked at James and said, “Gladwin was simply trying to use us to achieve his goal. He wanted the position of the
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
