Gladwin threw back his head and laughed. “You came up with this meticulous plan early on, huh?” “You’re right. We bear no grudge against each other.” James replied, “However, Xachary tried to kill me before. Even if you didnʼt make those offers, I would still try to make him lose the position of the Timaeus Sectʼs leader.” Gladwin nodded slowly. “With that said, does this mean that we are allies now?” “No.” James shook his head. “We are simply partners in crime. “I probably wouldnʼt be able to achieve the things that you could do. The same goes for the opposite. Therefore, we need to help each other out and work toward achieving our mutual goal.” “Alright!” Gladwin let out a hearty laugh. “I feel very reassured after hearing that from you. By the way, what happened with the Behaterm Sect and the Sanctum Sect?” James smiled slightly. He shared about the incidents relating to the Behaterm Sect elaborately. Gladwin chuckled and nodded. “So, that makes you the owner of two Ge
Lady Jacinth extended her arms. Then, she began absorbing the Genesis Power and soul fragments left on the battlefield below. Her body glowed with a brighter purplish-pink light which indicated that her powers had improved considerably. Just then, two distinct black and white masses of gas gathered in the sky above her. Slowly, a Tai Chi diagram was formed. “Yin governor, those two could hold a conversation just fine. Canʼt the two of us have a chat as well?” Tai Chiʼs voice echoed through the air. Lady Jacinth scoffed. “Get lost! Donʼt blame me if you end up getting a beating from me!” Tai Chi let out a deep sigh. “You donʼt have to go through the Heavenly Tribulations. However, it is already impossible for you to achieve the Daelcon Rank in the collapsed Tai Chi World.” Lady Jacinth scrunched her nose. She lifted her hand and used her powers to move all the excrement found in all the worlds in the vicinity toward the Tai Chi diagram floating above her. In a flash, the
The marriage between Skynetʼs young master and the Iustus Sectʼs saintess was big news for people living in the different Genesis Worlds. Various groups and forces began devising plans to gain as many benefits as they could out of this union. On the other hand, James had also made several arrangements. He stationed Yancy and the Behaterm Sectʼs army at the Xyndaros Genesis World. Also, he had Wylie and the Sanctum Sectʼs members remain on the Sanctum Genesis World. They would not face any major threats during this period of ceasefire. However, the Xyndaros Genesis World and the Sanctum Genesis World provided a path that connected Skynet, the Iustus Sect, and the Forladtt Land. Moreover, those two Genesis Worlds were of great importance to the Jademora Empire. Therefore, James was more cautious in issues relating to those Genesis Worlds. Also, Yegor and Mattaniah had entrusted James with the task of holding Truett and Xitlalyʼs wedding ceremony. This was also an opportun
“You foolish brat!” The Yang governor tightened his grip on Truettʼs neck. Truettʼs face flushed as he tried hard to breathe. The Yang governor could exterminate him at any moment. Just then, the Yang governor shouted, “James Caden! Arenʼt you the most loyal to your friends?! “Your best friend is being punished in your stead. Are you going to continue hiding in that goddamn bell?!” After saying that, the Yang governor trapped Truett inside a Tai Chi diagram and pushed him aside. Within the Tai Chi diagram, Truett screamed in agony as countless lightning bolts produced from the Heavenly Tribulation struck him. The Yuraeceon Genesis Bell shone brightly with a gray light at that moment. The bell started spinning quickly, and it shot toward the Yang governor. “You dare come at me like this? We’re no longer in the Forladtt Land, you fool!” The Yang governor sent another blast of Historial Power. The Yang governorʼs attack struck the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell and sent it flying
“You are absolutely despicable!” Lesia yelled furiously. She transformed into a beam of red light and shot toward the Yang governor. Boom! A huge, bloody hole was made at the center of the Yang governorʼs body. He was caught completely off guard. He had a look of rage and disbelief on his face. “I completely underestimated that bell spirit.” As the beam of red light came at him again, the Yang governor threw a punch in its direction. At that very moment, James teleported and fused with the red light. He unleashed the Ultimate Golden Body and took the Yang governorʼs punch directly. The force shoved James backward. His back slammed into the Tai Chi diagram trapping Truett. Then, all of them were sent flying far away. “Hahaha!” The Yang governor stared at his opponents with scorn. “All of you are weaklings! Who cares about the Law of Paths? The strongest always win! Now, kneel!” The Yang governor lifted his hand. A gigantic hand appeared above James. As it slowly move
The Yang governor had a look of bewilderment on his face. “That’s impossible! How is he able to unleash the Tirta Power?!” On the other hand, Truett used the fragment of Tirta Power to push the gigantic hand aside. James immediately straightened his back and conjured a huge, golden evil spirit. The evil spirit rushed toward the Yang governor. Meanwhile, James teleported toward the gigantic hand and threw a punch at it. With Truettʼs powers, both of them managed to destroy that huge hand. At the same time, James’ evil spirit was already fighting the Yang governor. Not only did the evil spirit possess the powers of a Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Ninth Tribulation cultivator at their peak, but it was also fused with Hemera and Fennec. The evil spirit’s punches even contained powers of the Historial Great Curse. Even the Yang governor was wary of its attacks. As soon as the gigantic hand shattered and fell apart, James and Truett shot toward the Yang governor immediately. With th
Suddenly, an overwhelming aura emanated from a certain direction just as James was prepared to face his end. Boom! The Historial Power channeled by the Yang governor was destroyed almost instantaneously. As he was freed from the Yang governorʼs powers, James quickly teleported and reappeared next to Truett. He supported Truett by holding his arm.On the other hand, the Yang governor staggered a little as his powers were abruptly cut off. He barked, “Yegor Sadler! Is this a challenge to a battle?” A man radiating a tremendous amount of Qrohm materialized in the distance. He raised his hand and released a wave of righteous aura, which took the form of a huge golden web, in the Yang governorʼs direction. Loud explosions went off as the web struck the Yang governor. A few seconds later, the Yang governor, who was severely wounded, was seen caught in the clutches of a gigantic hand. Boom! The gigantic hand floated above the Yang governor and released overwhelming pressure
Yegor smiled slightly. “The Law of Paths is a set of restrictions designed specifically for Tai Chi. The Yang governor is not bound by it.” James widened his eyes. “I see! So, the Yang governor abides by the Law of Tai Chi?” “That’s right.” Yegor nodded. “However, as you all saw earlier, the Yang governor attacked you two despite his position and responsibilities. Does it seem like he cares about the Law of Tai Chi?” “That lady, Tai Chi, was truly shameless.” Truett snorted. “She stayed hidden when the Yang governor was beating us up. When he was about to be defeated, she quickly appeared to save him. Isnʼt that against the Law of Paths?” “She didnʼt engage in the battle after all. To be exact, she merely stepped in too late.” Yegor curled his lips. “Moreover, the Yang governor suppressed his powers during the battle with you. Frankly, he didn’t break any rules.” James and Truett were struck by a sense of powerlessness upon hearing those words. It appeared those with power
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
