James said smilingly, “As long as he doesn’t dare to deal with me personally, I’ll be able to find a way to survive the Three Great Heavenly Tribulations.”Yegor looked at James and said smilingly, “Do you know what I admire most about you?”James was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in response.“Your strong will. You’re never willing to admit defeat and aren’t afraid of anything. Since I’ve been enlightening you for so long, can you also answer my questions?”James frowned and said smilingly, “Sure. Ask away.”Yegor pondered momentarily and said smilingly, “You left so many living beings in the Dark World, and the first thing you did after leaving the Forladtt Land was to help my son with his marriage. It’s not as simple as just a marriage, right?”James smiled indifferently and waved his hand. Immediately afterward, the Grimlore Map appeared before them.Yegor frowned upon seeing the map.James said smilingly, “Look at the Genesis Regions controlled by Skynet and th
The Iusus Sect’s headquarters, which had been demolished, was erected again. Mattaniah invited Gladwin and Yaquis into the headquarters as guests.With two leaders of the strongest alliances visiting, the Iusus Sect felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. After all, they had just experienced the incident of Quartney’s rebellion. Even the Grand Patriarch, Mattaniah, was very careful with the two guests.Faced with the two guests with unfriendly expressions, Mattaniah smiled and raised his hand, saying, “Please have some spiritual tea.”Gladwin picked up the teacup and sneered, “Of course. I’ll enjoy it. However, a certain somebody might not have the guts to drink it. After all, it’d be over for him if he is infected with Deadgory Bugs.”Opposite him, Yaquis, who had already taken a sip from his teacup, immediately spat out the spiritual tea.Gladwin raised his head and burst out laughing.Furious, Yaquis unleashed a Sword Light and shattered the teacup in Gladwin’s hand.
Gladwin nodded, saying, “Mhm. You’re one of the best of the younger generation. The Timaeus Sect…”Before he could finish speaking, Yaquis, who had just sat down beside him, suddenly reached out to James with a potent Genesis.Boom!James quickly swung his fist, and his Amethyst-Gold Power mixed with a black-and-white force instantly shattered Yaquis’ attack.The hall began to shake, and the aftermath instantly shattered the surrounding furniture.The powerhouses present were surprised. Yaquis, on the other hand, was especially confused by the situation. He was surprised a powerhouse only at the Yuraceon Daelm Rank’s Eight Tribulation’s peak had blocked his attack.Mattaniah stood up and shouted, “What do you mean by this, Yaquis?!!”Gladwin said sarcastically, “Bullying someone weaker than you again? You haven’t changed.”Yaquis snorted, “This guy cursed my son and his current whereabouts are still unknown. We’ve got irreconcilable grievances. Mattaniah was surprised by hi
Yaquis and Gladwin’s eyes widened in shock. They were not expecting the Tempest Scepter to be in Xitlaly’s hands.Xitlaly commanded, “As the saint of the Iusus Sect, I declare that we will fight with everything to defend James if anyone dares to even lay hands on him.”As soon as these words came out, Yaquis’ depression immediately changed. He knew the Tempest Scepter was the divine weapon of the Iusus Sect, and their members would absolutely obey the person who wielded it.It was evident that Xitlaly was determined to protect James.At that moment, another unexpected person flashed into the hall and shielded in front of James.“I’m Skynet’s Young Master, Truett. Whoever wants to touch him will have to step over my dead body!”Yaquis felt a shiver down his spine. He quickly turned to Yegor, shocked that James was close to Skynet’s Young Master. Since Yegor had not said anything, that would mean he permitted Truett’s actions.As the Yaquis Sect and the new alliance’s leader, he w
Yaquis was rendered speechless.James said smilingly, “Your son also participated, right? He fought me but lost.”“Everyone keeps saying Franciscus’ successor is a demon. Then, your sect’s disciples tried to become demons but failed.”Yaquis gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and growled, “Presumptuous! Don’t stray from the main topic. I’m asking about my son’s whereabouts.”“Since you insist on this topic, shall we talk about everything that happened?” James turned to Xitlaly and said, “Tell them about how we met in the Forladtt Land.”Xitlaly raised her head and explained the events in the Forladtt Land.Mattaniah’s face darkened after hearing everything, and shouted, “I see how it is! How dare he attack our sect’s saintess! Shouldn’t you give me an explanation, Yaquis?!!”Yaquis waved his hand and said hurriedly, “No. There must be a misunderstanding. Besides, my son was not the person who did it. He doesn’t deserve to die.”James recounted the events of the Forladtt Land, e
James squinted at Gladwin, who gloated over Yaquis’ situation. He began thinking about a way to intensify the hostility between the Righteous Alliance and the new alliance.However, Gladwin was present. Thus, James could only hint at things rather than directly speaking of them. It would have been much more convenient if he could send telepathic messages.Yaquis clenched his fists and growled, “So everyone’s targeting me now? They could easily paint the situation to their benefit. My son’s current whereabouts is still unknown. If you guys are capable enough to find him, we can question him on the spot.“If he truly did these things, his fate will be up to you to decide. However, I must at least see him!”Yaquis had not been the head of a major sect for nothing. He could maintain his wit under such a disadvantageous situation. It showed that he was a capable leader.Everyone fell silent. After a short while, Mattaniah said, “Since you say so, then let’s not fight on such a happy da
Meanwhile, Gladwin and Yaquis were still puzzled.A marriage between two forces ranked in the top ten of the Genesis Worlds was not a good sign for them, mainly because they were fighting for control. Although they were worried and conflicted about the situation, they had no choice but to force smiles and applause together. Suddenly, James walked over to Truett’s side and said, “Present your betrothal gifts.”Lyla quickly walked over, carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.James pulled the red cloth, and a gleaming ancient book appeared in sight.The powerhouses present were instantly in shock after seeing the gift.Gladwin’s eyes widened, and he asked, “Is that the Genesis Phoenix Art created by Flaviano Hagels, the founder of the Iustus Sect? Is that the Supernatural Power that once caused a shock throughout the Tai Chi World?”Yaquis gasped, saying, “The Gensis Phoenix Art? That’s a valuable skill that helps with body refinements. I never expected it to reappear today.”
Rebella walked over, holding another tray with a red cloth. The four powerhouses stretched their necks, trying to get a look.Everyone was surprised once again after James pulled away the red cloth and revealed the gift.Gladwin could not help exclaiming, “A divine weapon! That’s a good one! The Wisp Glow Lamp. It has an independent space and can manifest into thirty-six forms. It’s good for both offense and defense. It’s a very powerful weapon.”Mattaniah also said surprisedly, “The Wisp Glow Lamp? That’s a lost artifact of our sect. I can’t believe I’m seeing it for myself.”After speaking, Mattaniah rushed over and grabbed the Wisp Glow Lamp excitedly. The lamp emitted a colorful light in his trembling hands, and he could not contain his joy.Yaquis, on the other hand, could not suppress his envy. He also approached the lamp and stared at it intently.The Yaquis Sect was only second to the Timaeus Sect in the Ancient Genesis World. However, they only had about seven to eight
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
