Even though James had mastered the Forth Marciais Combat Form, the Yang governor deemed it implausible for him to reach the Xaeclon Rank. After being severely injured, he was in disbelief.Nevertheless, the evidence was undeniable. He could not alter the truth no matter how much he resisted accepting it.Meanwhile, James turned to Hador, who was lying weakly on the ground, and asked, “Are you alright, Sir Hador?”“It’s not enough to kill me,” Hador shouted in response, forcing himself to rise despite his injuries.Upon seeing James, the despair on Hador’s face was gone, and he burst into laughter. The sight caused an unspoken sense of tragedy to loom in the area.James sighed softly and extended his hand, unleashing Chaos Essence toward Hador.Hador refused anxiously, “Chaos Essence is incredibly valuable, James. You shouldn’t—”James disregarded his words. He turned around and shouted, “Can you still move, Mr. Yrian?”Yrian, in his dragon form, raised his head with difficulty a
James smirked after listening to the Yang governor’s words and reached out to help him stand.“Since I’m already bringing shame to his name, I might as well take it to the extremes.”Wham! Bang! Wham!James punched the Yang governor’s face repeatedly until his nose began to bleed profusely. He spat out blood, along with a few of his teeth that were knocked off.After delivering tens of thousands of blows, James finally ceased his attacks and tossed the Yang governor to the ground. The Yang governor’s face was unrecognizable. His head tilted weakly to one side as he gasped for breath. James shook his head and remarked, “Honestly, I’m somewhat disappointed. I thought you’d make for a decent sparring partner after I came out of seclusion. However, you’re nothing impressive and are pretty weak.The Yang governor sprawled on the ground, covered in blood. He extended his hand and attempted to mutter a word. However, he found himself devoid of strength.He never thought his transcen
James shrugged nonchalantly. “To be honest, I’m not certain either. However, considering I penetrated the Yang governor’s golden body and rendered him powerless, I must be pretty strong, right?”Hador was so taken aback by James’s response that he nearly stumbled. He had not been expecting James’ improvements to be so rapid that even he, the revered Yin Ancestral God, appeared so weak in comparison.“Why is there no movement yet? Is she really planning to abandon her pawn, the Yang governor?” James furrowed his brows.Hador narrowed his eyes, saying thoughtfully, “She must be weighing her options. With the Chaos Honrome Formation activated here, perhaps she’s hesitant to show up.”Very well. Then, I’ll save my disciple and his fiance first,” James sighed. Then, he closed his eyes and began drawing the surrounding Chaos Essence from the surrounding into his golden body. It was like a river flowing into the deep sea.Sometime later, James completely absorbed the Chaos Essence within
The Yang governor, whose appearance was deformed beyond recognition, opened his eyes hazily. His gaze fell upon the Three Symbols that had reverted to their original forms. His heart pounded, and a shiver ran down his spine.Never had he imagined being in such a dire predicament. Not only was he suffering great humiliation, but his survival was also in danger.At that moment, regret washed over him for venturing into the Yin’s void. He realized he had gravely underestimated James.James held him up and taunted, “Call for her. Let’s see if she will come and fight me to save you.”The Yang governor’s body trembled, and he said weakly, “My mother isn’t as easily intimidated as I am, James. I acknowledge you’re strong, but you can’t escape the Tai Chi World and its laws.”“You still want to talk tough?” James said, landing a mighty blow on the Yang governor, sending him flying into the distance.The Yang governor plummeted, but James dashed over and swung his feet, sending him back i
However, to everyone's surprise, the figure composed of black-and-white mist swiftly spun around and rebounded instantly.James marveled, and a smug expression crossed his face. He reached out and effortlessly retracted all the Marciais Power he had just released.Hador reminded softly, “She’s fighting you with similar power. That’s the Yin-Yang Tai Chi. She’s at the Seventh Xaeclon Rank.”“Interesting.” James cast the Terrastride Step and appeared before the Yin-Yang Tai Chi instantly.The Tai Chi clone’s appearance remained unclear. However, James could tell it was a woman with a rather voluptuous figure.Confronted by James’ piercing gaze, the Ying-Yang Tai Chi took two cautious steps backward. Then, she exclaimed, “You obtained Yianni’s Marciais Soul?”James tucked one hand behind his back and cast a sidelong glance at her, saying, “Shall we talk before the fight or after?”The Yin-Yang Tai Chi retorted disdainfully, “Are you in such a hurry to meet your end? You’ve indeed s
Seeing such terrifying speed and attack power, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi immediately rose into the air and dispersed into a black-and-white mist, attempting to flee for her life.James transformed into his human form, shouting, “Why are you running? Get back here.”As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the void. A potent Marciais Power shot toward the black-and-white mist.The Marciais Power manifested into thousands of illusory hands, reaching at the mist. Seeing them, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi panicked.“Ha! Come in here if you dare!” The Yin-Yang Tai Chi shouted, then dodged into the mist.The next moment, the mist surged with thunder and unleashed lightning bolts in James’ direction.The Yin-Yang Tai Chi turned around and saw James darting toward her.James was undeterred and faced the onslaught head-on. With the Marciais Power coursing through him, he shattered the lightning bolts one after another and advanced through the void like a formidable warrior.The Yin-Yang Tai Chi shout
Hador and Lucille observed from below, stunned by the breathtaking spectacle.Within the swirling black-and-white mist in the void, figures flickered amid a frenzy of Sword Lights accompanied by a symphony of explosions.Wave after wave of immense power cascaded from the turbulent mist, delivering yet another devastating blow to the Ying World. Even Hador and Lucille had to retreat to evade the destructive forces.Lucille asked anxiously, “Can Forty-nine win? Do we need to help?”Hador replied solemnly, “That’s a between powerhouses at the Sixth Xaeclon Rank or even higher. With our current strength, we wouldn’t even be able to get near the battlefield.”Lucille gasped at the answer. Despite being aware of James’ extraordinary capabilities, she could not shake off her anxiousness. After all, the impression that Tai Chi was invincible had been engraved in her mind.Given James’ current prowess, the battle would be fraught with peril, even though he was only fighting a clone of T
“The Yin Tai Chi is about to go all out. Be careful, James!” Hador hurriedly shouted toward the void.The dark figure suddenly morphed into a black mass and weaved through the gaps between the Sword Lights in the sky. Then, it circled James rapidly.James experienced an indescribable pain coursing through his body. It felt as though each part of his body had been subjected to countless vicious attacks. At the same time, his soul felt like it was seared by flames. The excruciating was unbearable.“Argh!” With a roar, James’ Ultimate Golden Body erupted with a torrent of ominous grey, black, and white energy, dispelling the black mist around him.The next moment, James’ body was covered with dark needles, protruding from every inch of his skin, and blood oozed out of the micro-wounds.Upon careful inspection, it became apparent that these dark needles were not needles, but mini swords shrunk to the utmost extent. They relentlessly drained James’ Marciais Power.James staggered and
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
