Dark Thea looked completely different from when he had last seen her. Her hair was red, and she had heavy makeup. She wore a purple-red robe and emitted an enchanting but frightening aurora.A faint black light surrounded her body, and thirteen faint red forces connected to her.James gasped, “What terrifying evil power!”Hador gently reminded him, “She has acquired the Dark Heavenly Path Power. Although she has only grasped the basics, her evil power is already so potent.”James exclaimed, “The Dark Heavenly Path Power? So I can give return the memory inscription to her?”Hador stopped James from approaching her and said, “Be patient. She has already forsaken her emotions and desires. She refused to recover them. She has been waiting for two entrapochs. Her emotions and desires are close to complete dissipation, and her mind may be corrupted any time soon…”James shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter. As long as I return the memory inscription her, she will…”Hador warned
“You’ve been wise all your life, so why are you being reckless now?” Hador said, then summoned his Marciais Power to surround James.At that moment, Dark Thea suddenly moved.An overwhelming evil power burst out from her body, manifesting into numerous purple-pink light rays and charged at James.Sensing the danger, James immediately cast the Dawnblaze Form and soared into the sky.The purple-pink light rays clashed with the Marciais Power, causing a loud explosion.James, who had already dodged into the distance, was shocked by the sight. He never expected Thea not to recognize him. Moreover, her powers were potent and violent.Before he could think about his next step, Dark Thea had rushed toward him.Hador shouted hurriedly, “Be careful, James. She’s trying to devour you.”James did not dodge but instead showed a determined expression.“Move!” Hador shouted and sped over.The evil power swept toward him rapidly and gradually permeated the area. At that moment, James felt a
James knew it was the only chance to help Dark Thea recover her memories. Now that Hador was helping him, the chances of succeeding had increased. Therefore, he was willing to risk his life to return the memory inscriptions to her body.After making the decision, James cast the Terrastride Step and took six steps into the void. At that moment, the surroundings seemed to have stopped moving. Hador and Dark Thea, who were in the void, also stopped in shock.James took advantage of the opportunity and flashed before Thea after casting the Dawnblaze Form. Then, he activated his Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes.Colorful light rays shot out from James’ eyes and penetrated into Thea’s eyes. Immediately afterward, her Soul Energy Ball was drawn out.Without hesitation, James took out the memory inscription and thrust it into the Soul Energy Ball.As soon as the memory inscription penetrated Thea’s Soul Energy Ball, she regained consciousness. Countless Dark Lotus immediately appeared from behind her
James suddenly coughed violently and vomited blood.Hador anxiously placed his palm on James’ back, infusing Marciais Powers to treat his wounds.James’ body trembled as the Marciais Power flowed through his body. Then, he spat out another mouthful of blood. He sat in a lotus position, and a black light surrounded his body.His internal organs gradually began to heal. The righteous aura running wild in his body fused with the Chaos Essence in his Nirvana Golden Bones and started flowing through his meridians.After a while, James opened his eyes and said, “I’d like to have some wine, Sir.”Hador was stunned by his words.James added, “I’ll need Chaos Absinthe to completely recover.”Hador sighed and waved his hand. Then, a jar of Chaos Absinthe appeared before James.James eagerly opened the jar and poured it into his mouth.Hador watched from behind him and clicked his tongue disapprovingly.After James had consumed the entire jar of Chaos Absinthe, his whole body emitted a
Hador stared at James and said solemnly, “They are from the same entity and exist to balance each other. As for how to make a choice, it is up to you.”James’ brows furrowed tightly, and he was utterly confused.Hador said calmly, “It’s a long story. Simply put, she split into two because of Tai Chi’s suppression. The Dark Heavenly Path ultimately inherited the Ying governor’s memory and hatred. Meanwhile, the Light Heavenly Path had fallen under Tai Chi’s control.“Tai Chi took advantage of Franciscus and our desire for reconciliation. The current situation is a result of it.“It’s a life-and-death tribulation for the Ying governor. After her eighty-oneth reincarnation, Tai Chi suffered a backlash.”Hador paused and looked at James. After a while, he said, “You just need to remember, if you can reach the Daeclon Rank, defeat Tai Chi, and subvert the laws of Tai Chi, then it’ll open up a new path for them.“If you can’t, the fusion of the Dark and Light Heavenly Path will be inev
At that moment, Dark Thea’s silvery-white glow had disappeared. Then, she regained her usual enchanting appearance, and her body emitted evil power. Fortunately, she no longer treated James and Hador with hostility. Even so, her attitude was cold toward them, as if trying to push them thousands of miles away.James found it strange to see Dark Thea’s change.Dark Thea said coldly, “Tai Chi’s name is Yehria Yrjo. She was one of the disciples under Tirta Thrude, along with Yegor and Herodias.”“However, Yehria has always been cunning. She stole Tirta’s Wuinfinite Peal. After undergoing eighty-one tribulations, she cultivated an Ultimate Golden Body and reached the Daeclon Rank. Then, she merged her powers with Chaos Essence to obtain Tai Chi Power and gain the position of Tai Chi.“In the early days of her reign, she did indeed think about her people and adhered to the laws of Tai Chi. She was fair and decent.”Dark Thea stepped forward and said, “Unfortunately, in the Ying and Yang
Dark Thea said solemnly, “I’m running out of time. I’ve already severed my emotions and desires. However, trust me, we’re still husband and wife in my heart. You’re the most important person to me.”After speaking, Dark Thea’s body unleashed a purple-pink light and wrapped around them. Then, she embraced James once again.Immediately afterward, the light shone brighter, and the two of them finally shared a sentimental moment of reunion. Words could not express their feelings or actions. Dark Thea did not know how else to express her feelings toward him other than dedicating herself to him.As the two combined their cultivation bases, the void lit up with purple-pink light rays, forming a pink mist and an indescribably beautiful scene.Meanwhile, Hador met with Yrian in a mysterious realm within the Ying World and recounted everything James had said.Yrian took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t expect him to have such detailed consideration. It seems the Ying World has hope to retu
Hador sighed softly and shook his head helplessly. Yrian most likely had a better relationship with James. For him to make the request now would be disrespectful and inappropriate.“Sir Hador—” Yrian began.Hador waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, “We’ll help the Chosen One with all our resources, and we won’t interfere with Taotie’s punishment.”Yrian fell silent.Taotie let out a despairful groan, then rushed over to the area where James and Dark Thea were. When he saw the purple-pink light in the air, he stopped in his tracks.Suddenly, Lesia’s voice resounded. “If you dare to go near them right now, I’ll widen your mouth.” Taotie growled helplessly, “What do you want?”Lesia sneered, “Just wait. You’re so lazy but arrogant. Who allowed your bad habits to form?”Taotie was speechless.Lesia shouted, “Hemera, Fennec! Can you two calm down a little? You’re already so stuffed!”At that moment, a beautiful red-haired woman flew out of the purple-pink light and appear
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
