Sensing the tense atmosphere, Yrian quickly stepped between them and said, “Calm down. It’s just a misunderstanding. After all…”“There’s no misunderstanding,” James glared at Yukha and said, “Biefren’s death isn’t the problem. It’s her acting smart and trying to manipulate the situation.”Yukha fell silent at James’ accusations.Yrian stood aside helplessly. He looked at Yuka, then turned to James. However, he refrained from speaking again.James looked at Yukha and said, “Let’s do this. I’ll get past the third level, no matter what. I don’t want you to go easy on me. Even if I am severely injured or end up dying, at least I know where my strength stands.”Seeing that the battle was unavoidable, Yrian sighed. He looked at Yukha meaningfully as if to signal her to go easy. He did not want James to be injured. Otherwise, nobody would be able to bear the responsibility. Afterward, he stepped aside.Taotie glared at James hatefully, then soared into the sky with the Yuraeceon Genesi
Immediately afterward, James cast the Third Marciais Combat Form and Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes. Then, he appeared before Yukha in a flash and bare-handedly fought the Honlarne Sword. The rapid confrontation caused an explosion, and a harsh clank permeated the void.Two figures flashed across the void, and their Sword Energies intertwined. Their potent forces caused the universes to rotate. As a result, a few planets collided and collapsed.It was a showdown between powerhouses with Eight-Star Combat Power. Such an intense battle was unprecedented in the Ying World, and all the living beings could not help but stop whatever they were doing and stare into the sky in shock.At that moment, a slightly translucent black force permeated and quickly covered the entire Ying World. It rapidly absorbed the spreading shock waves from the battle, then transformed into a mysterious formation to protect the Ying World’s inhabitants.James used the Dawnblaze Form as his foundation. With the addition of
Yukha felt humiliated and was furious. She completely disregarded her condition and summoned a terrifying blue light from her body, instantly knocking James away. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she quickly covered her body with a blue light, which formed into a new robe. “You’re so shameless, James!”James snorted disapprovingly, “You’re just a bird. Who would be interested in your body? My wife is much better than you.”Yukha was infuriated. She gripped the Honlarne Sword and unleashed a few Sword Lights. Then, she shouted, “Die!”An overwhelming amount of nine-colored lightsabers sped toward James with a powerful momentum.At that moment, Honlarne Sword transformed into a nine-colored sword. It emitted a dazzling light, which gave off a powerful aura.Faced with the nine-colored lightsabers, James cast the Terrastride Step and took seven steps, instantly preventing them from moving forward.“The Terrastride Step can be used like that?” Yukha stared at him in shock.Yrian
Just tell me if she’s dead or not. What’s with the vague answer?’ thought Dark Thea.The nine-colored lightsabers in the sky exploded on the battlefield, and powerful shock waves permeated the area. The formation protecting the Ying World emitted a black light and deflected the force to the surrounding universes.Boom! Bang! Boom!A series of explosions erupted, and trillions of galaxies were destroyed simultaneously.Unfortunately, the formation could not resist all the force and eventually collapsed. As a result, the remaining aftermath of the explosions spread into the Ying World.Countless powerhouses, including Yrian and Taotie, quickly cast their Supernatural Powers to protect themselves and the other living beings in the different areas of the Ying World.After the aftermath dissipated, everyone was shocked at the sight of the void.Yukha, who always looked graceful and beautiful, was disheveled and in a complete mess. Her new blue robe was soaked in blood, and her body w
Yrian shouted desperately, “You can’t make her a pet, Chosen One! She’s the Ying World’s Great Protector, one of the three powerhouses with an Eight-Star Combat Power. You…”Yrian could not bring himself to finish his sentence. James’ blood had already filled Yukha’s Soul Energy Ball. A red light bloomed from it, and then it quickly submerged into Yukha’s mind again.The next moment, Yukha’s body twitched, and then a bizarre red light emerged from her body and broke through James’ confinement. She transformed into a huge bird, let out a piercing shriek, and furiously circled in the sky.James licked the blood off his fingertips, then smiled satisfiedly.“Are you still unwilling to submit? Then, should I find you a male bird?”After circling the sky a few times, Yukha growled, “Bastard! How dare you humiliate me like this, James?! How dare you…”James sneered, “Rant all you want. It doesn’t change the fact that you’re my pet now. We’ve already signed a soul contract, and you follo
The man’s hair, eyebrows, and beard were as white as frost. His aura seemed ethereal, and it seemed like he was an immortal being. Even James, who had cultivated the Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes, could not see through his cultivation strength.Yukha hurriedly flew over to him and landed on his shoulder as if he were her real master.James was slightly intimidated but still mustered up the courage and shouted, “Come back, Yukha. Otherwise, I’ll find a male bird to mate with you!”Yukha trembled and said, “Please save me, Grand Patriarch.”The elderly man replied calmly, “Since you’ve become his pet, you should follow orders. Although you’re the flying spirit beast’s primogenitor and a powerhouse with an Eight-Star Combat Power, it’s not humiliating for you to be his pet. Instead, you gained a huge blessing by chance.”Yukha’s heart pounded anxiously. She was counting on the Grand Patriarch to uphold justice for her and did not expect him to side with James. Her hope of escaping the fate of
Hador looked at Yukha and said, “Go back to your master.”Yukha stayed in place, refusing to say a word. She glared at James angrily, evidently not accepting of her fate yet.James opened his jar of Chaos Absinthe and said, “It’s fine. She should treat her injuries first.”Afterward, James pointed at the jar of Chaos Absinthe. Without waiting for Yukha or Hador to speak, he controlled the wine and directed it into Yukha’s mouth.Hador said anxiously, “She can’t consume the Chaos Absinthe like this…”Before he could finish speaking, Yukha was forcefully fed a mouthful of the Chaos Absinthe. A dazzling blue light erupted from her body, and her body began to sway.“J-James, you bastard. Are you trying to torture me? You…uh…” Yukha passed out drunk and fell from Hador’s shoulder. Fortunately, James quickly caught her and teleported her into his soul space.“Alright. It’s finally quiet.” James shrugged at Hador.Hador asked surprisedly, “Did you do that on purpose?”James raised th
Hador nodded lightly and said, “Go ahead.”James sighed, “If I’m not wrong, the Ying World is trying to help me so I can break the current balance of the outside worlds and challenge the Law of Tai Chi, right?”Hador nodded without hesitation and replied, “Of course. However, there is a long way to go. You may just be another Franciscus.”James shrugged, saying, “I don’t care. My wife’s grudge with Tai Chi isn’t resolvable. Even if you don’t help me, we'll still go after her.”Hador agreed, “Then it’s even more important that you choose an assistant with the same goal and values as you.”James said calmly, “A soldier puts on armor, picks up weapons, and storms the battlefield. A commander strategizes and ensures execution.“There’s no doubt Yrian possesses vast knowledge and is a great strategist worthy of being a commander. However, it would be best if he stayed in the Ying World to preside over the overall situation. I’d also entrust him with the affairs of the Dark World.“M
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
