“The Upper Three Calamities are more brutal.” James said sternly, “Tai Chi is a cunning woman, and she controls the Upper Three Calamities. “Fortunately, the calamities end within a time limit. You’ll have a chance to survive them if you possess treasures or items that can help protect you from the attacks.” Biefren paused thoughtfully and conjured more than ten energy balls in the air. James had a hard time trying to look through all the divine tools and transcendent divine tools. “Take a look at these, Chosen One. Are there any items that can help defend one from the Upper Three Calamitiesʼ attacks?” James used his Zen to examine all of the energy balls. Then, he shook his head. “None of them can?” Biefren looked slightly disappointed. “They are all decent divine tools. However, you canʼt use these in the face of the Upper Three Calamities.” James let out a sigh. James could not tell what grade the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell was. However, it had Lesia in it. With Lesiaʼ
Before James could say anything, Biefren lifted his hands and pushed his palms forward in the direction of the cauldron. The blazing fire heating the cauldron changed from the color red to purple. The blue liquid inside turned into a shade of purplish-blue. Blue vapor rose from the cauldron as the temperature of the liquid increased steadily. James knitted his brows. “Mr. Biefren, what are you…” At that moment, Biefren opened his mouth. A core glowing with a purplish-gold light came out of his mouth. It was as big as the size of a fist. “Mr. Biefren!” James shouted anxiously, “I donʼt need to learn the Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes if this is the only way to do it!” James rushed forward to stop Biefren, but he was shoved backward by a burst of reddish-blue power. James steadied himself in the distance and coughed up some blood. He was caught off guard by the immense force. In that split second, Biefren had dumped the purplish-gold core into the hot cauldron. “No!” James yelle
No one knew how cruel and calculative Yukha could be, but Yrian did. Unlike her beautiful appearance, Yukha was a cold-hearted, highly intelligent Eight-Star Combat Power cultivator. She knew about James’ personality well too. Yukha probably did not inform James about the rare and precious materials required to learn the Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes. Instead, she used a sly and indirect method to guide him into achieving their goal. When he found out Yukha had led James to the Leviathan Forest, Yrian had been getting a foreboding feeling that Yukha was up to something. Yrian thought that Yukha would at most instruct James to kill some spirit beasts. Then, James should injure Biefren and Zenithal Roc Matron, who came looking for James to get revenge for their people. With the Ying Worldʼs power and status, they would be able to resolve almost any issue with the spirit beasts anyway. Shockingly, Yukha seemed to have plotted for James to eliminate Biefren. This was a bad move in ever
Biefrenʼs smile broadened. “So, you’re a human?” James sighed softly and nodded. “That explains a lot.” Biefren gave a slight nod. “Humans have emotions and desires. They can be affected by both evil and kind thoughts. “Although we are meeting for the first time, I can see that you are a loyal and caring person.” James remained silent. “You and I are mere strangers. We donʼt bear any grudges or ill feelings for the other person.” Biefren continued, “It might have been strange for me to do this when we had only met briefly for the first time. “However, I had no other options. I wasnʼt forced to do it because of you. It is simply my fate that I have to meet my end here.” James knitted his brows. “Who decided on this? Why must you give up on your life like this?” “Most of the time, a person’s fate has been set in stone.” Biefren sighed. “At first, I thought I could change my fate. “Yet, when I heard about you surviving Tai Chiʼs Upper Three Calamities, I knew I wouldn’
James had a puzzled look on his face. “We, the spirit beasts, are oppressed by Tai Chiʼs governance.” Biefren was infuriated as he recalled those memories. “She only allowed regular beings to learn and assume the human form. Those beings were also given equal rights to train for their cultivation. “Yet, the spirit beasts were denied the right to assume the human form. She even deemed us to be cultivation resources. “Tai Chi wasnʼt a human being, to begin with. “She was formed from a black fish and a white fish which had succeeded in their training. How could she do this to us, considering her origin?” Biefren let out a deep sigh. “In the Tai Chi World, other cultivators would hunt us for our cores. “Once they take a core, the spirit beast will disappear forever. We wouldnʼt even have a chance to be reborn again.” James narrowed his eyes. “It happens to the monsters too.” “It’s different for monsters.” Biefren shook his head. “Once the monsters devour up to a certain a
Biefren furrowed his brows. “The Forladtt Land is an exotic space?” James nodded. Then, he briefly shared some details about the Forladtt Land and the bet. After listening to James’ explanation, Biefren mused, “That means you have reached a certain level of power to take Tai Chi on for a battle.” “That’s why you should do it now, Mr. Biefren.” James said firmly, “Take back your core. Even though the core may be damaged and you may lose part of your powers, it is still sufficient to keep you alive. “I’ll bring you all to the Forladtt Land, where the Law of Tai Chi will no longer be in power. “With the abundance of various energies in that space, it’ll be easy for you to achieve the Daeclon Rank there.” As Biefren paused thoughtfully, James swiftly lifted his hand and channeled a beam of black and white light. Jamesʼ light pushed the purplish-black light beam toward Biefren. In a flash, Biefren radiated a tremendous amount of energy, sending the purplish-black energy back
“Listen to me.” Biefren began in a soft voice, “I didnʼt do this on impulse. This is for you, our children, and all spirit beasts. “James is a trustworthy man. That is why I am willing to give up my life in exchange for his protection over our kind.” The Zenithal Roc Matron argued, “If we enter the Forladtt Land, we can still…” “It’s not that simple. We were destined to be other cultivatorsʼ training resources.” Biefren cut her off. “Do you really think we can change our fate so easily if we just learn how to assume the human form and feel human emotions?“James is a kind-hearted man. He was willing to give up learning the Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes to save our lives. “However, do you think all of the Ying Worldʼs cultivators will agree with his stance? You mustn’t forget. The Chosen One is also their one last hope. “If James won’t do it, Yukha will come for us instead. Even if we managed to ward off Yukhaʼs attacks, could we hold up against the Yin Ancestral God, Hadorʼs attack?
Coincidentally, James had finished absorbing the purplish-black lights. He teleported and re-emerged in the spot where Biefren stood earlier. Then, James quickly unleashed a black and white energy that extended toward the sky. The energy caught all of Biefrenʼs broken body fragments swept away by the wind. Just then, countless purplish-gold sparks appeared in the air. Those sparks started flying away swiftly in different directions. James furrowed his brows. He immediately performed the Dawnblaze Form and the Terrastride Step to catch up to the purplish-gold sparks. Unfortunately, the sparks seemed to be traveling at a faster speed than James had expected. He swiftly took six steps, halting time and the sparksʼ movement. Then, James collected all the purplish-gold sparks by performing the Dawnblaze Form. The Zenithal Roc Matron had a look of bewilderment on her face as she watched James move across the sky for the sparks. When James was eventually done and reappeared befo
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
