At the edge of the grand formation in the Yin’s Void, the two mysterious figures enveloped by the tricolored light of gray, black, and white flickered and immediately appeared.They looked around bewilderedly, only to find themselves already far from the previous battlefield.After a moment, the mysterious female figure asked, “Brother, have we dispersed into nothingness?”“If we really had, could we still be together?” the mysterious figure retorted.“Well, that’s true,” the mysterious female figure murmured. Then, she assessed herself. “Hmm, why do I feel like I haven’t been injured at all?”“Silly girl,” the mysterious figure chuckled, “Could it be that we were just dreaming about attacking the Yggdrasil Sect?”“That doesn’t make sense.” The mysterious female figure lifted her head. “I clearly chose self-destruction. How could I be unharmed?”“Then, someone must have helped us.” The mysterious figure lightly nudged her, then nodded towards the right.The mysterious female fi
“Get up.” James nodded at them.Jacopo and Xainte exchanged glances before standing up politely. Watching his two children achieve what they had today, and witnessing their growth and abilities, James felt immensely gratified.Truthfully, he had always carried a sense of guilt towards his children. He felt like he owed them too much, fearing they might stray down the wrong path.Now, he felt reassured seeing how well they had turned out under his lenient upbringing, and the surprises they had provided him with.Surviving this calamity, he had his own plans for the children upon returning to the Genesis World.Looking at them, James smiled and said, “Your master has returned to Zymurgy and entrusted me to teach you. Are you willing?”Jacopo and Xainte looked astonished.“Is Zymurgy a place?” Xainte asked hastily. “Can we see that old man again?”Glancing at James, Jacopo hurriedly tugged on Xainte. “Mind your manners.”Xainte quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her beaut
“They haven’t all perished, have they?” James asked.“No.” Jacopo came to his senses and sighed lightly, “It’s just that among the old friends you mentioned, two have fallen as lackeys under Tai Chi.”“Who?” James feigned surprise.“Gladwin Warrick and Yaquis Holiness,” Xainte huffed. “Without them, Uncle Truett wouldn’t still be missing to this day, and our Solstice Alliance wouldn’t have ended up like this.”‘Truett’s disappearance was related to Gladwin and Yaquis Holiness?’ James’ mind stirred.“I know about Truett, the son of Yegor. Doesn’t he care?” he said.Xainte grumbled, “Mr. Yegor and Ms. Herodias are both imprisoned in the Telhervo Holy Site. They’re unable to intervene.”“The Telhervo Holy Site is their own exotic space, and they can still be kept there?” James found it hard to believe. After all, Clayton could move back and forth at will within it, even treating the Tirta Grand Formation as nothing. Jacopo sighed lightly. “You’re right, but Tai Chi later placed t
James could not help but chuckle inwardly. The so-called “Aunt Xitlaly” they referred to must be Xitlaly Blair. This girl possessed the Orient Force and had long reached the peak of Ninth Tribulation. Surely, she must have attained consummation by now.It seemed her authority in the eyes of these kids was exceptionally high. Thinking about it, James said with a smile, “Let’s talk about it when we get there.”With a wave of his hand, James brought Jacopo and Xainte to traverse several steps using the Terrastride Step, effortlessly plunging into the Tirta Grand Formation without any strain.As they landed, Jacopo and Xainte wore expressions of profound shock. They had not expected James to possess such Supernatural Power, capable of disregarding even the Tirta Grand Formation.In the next moment, a Sword Light suddenly flickered in the void. A fairy clad in snowy-white robes, carrying a dazzling whip in her hand, gracefully descended.“Aunt Xitlaly...” Xainte exclaimed in alarm, has
Staring at James, Xitlaly could not discern his cultivation base. She bowed respectfully and said, “So, you’re Mr. Biefren. I must apologize for any inconvenience caused. As for these two children...”“They’re not bad,” James chuckled. “They’ve inherited half of the true teachings of Clayton, but also the arrogance and recklessness of the entire inheritance. They need strict discipline.”As he spoke, both Jacopo and Xainte turned their heads simultaneously, their expressions seeming to say, ‘Senior, didn’t we agree not to deceive us? Why are you making things worse now?’Xitlaly held her whip and glared fiercely at Jacopo and Xainte. “Be honest. If Mr. Biefren hadn’t helped you this time, could you have returned safely?”Hearing this, Jacopo was startled. He hastily kowtowed.Xainte muttered under her breath, also kowtowing without daring to raise her head.“The Tirta Grand Formation can’t keep you anymore,” Xitlaly snapped angrily. “Fine, I’ll take the risk and send you to the F
James performed the Dawnblaze Form and vanished from the spot instantly. Xitlaly’s jaw dropped. Then, she glared at Jacopo and Xainte. “Do the two of you even know much about that man, Mr. Biefren?” Jacopo and Xainte exchanged a glance timidly. Then, they told Xitlaly about how they met James. The youngsters also described to her how James brought them into the Tirta Grand Formation without using any signature skills. Moreover, James managed to remain undetected and came out completely unscathed. Xitlaly had a look of bewilderment on her face upon hearing those words. Even the Yang governor, who had reached the Sixth Xaeclon Rank, could not break through the Tirta Grand Formation. In other words, Biefren was most likely in a higher cultivation rank than the Yang governor. Xitlaly could not tell whether this was good or bad news for Skynet. “Aunt Xitlaly!” Xainte had a rough idea about what Xitlaly would be concerned with. “We couldnʼt even gauge how powerful Mr. Biefren
Inside the Telhervo Holy Siteʼs main hall, Yegor who was sitting on the floor slowly opened his eyes. His face broke into a smile. “What’s with that lustful smile? Are you thinking about some other lady?” Herodias said menacingly, “Do I have to keep you on a leash now?” Yegor was momentarily stunned. Then, he rolled his eyes. “You can be so overly suspicious. Come on. We should go out and welcome an old friend.” Herodias looked puzzled as she watched Yegor stand up and head for the door. “Old friend? Which of our old friends can still get in here?” She got to her feet and followed behind Yegor. Just as the two of them exited the main hall, they could see a ball of gray, black, and white lights shot through the air and landed a few steps away. A middle-aged man materialized from the ball of light. “You… Who are you? How did you get in here?!” Herodias was wary of the stranger, which was actually Jamesʼ new disguise. On the other hand, Yegor laughed heartily and extended
“I just came back from the Yinʼs Void. There are a few things that I’m unaware of. For instance, how come the Celestial Sages and Sir Mattaniah are missing? Also, where is Truett?” asked James.Upon hearing his questions, Yegor and Herodias sighed and fell silent. “Even the two of you have no idea where they are?” James asked. “It’s probably part of Tai Chiʼs plan.” Yegor responded, “She’s trying to prepare for when you return from the Yinʼs Void.” James furrowed his brows. “So, she abducted the Genesis Worldʼs last few grand patriarchs, including the Celestial Sages… “She’s trying to control them and help them achieve the Xaeclon Rank so that she can use them to subdue me?” Yegor nodded. Herodias added, “Your wife is most likely one of Tai Chiʼs targets too. You guys might have to go up against a group of Xaeclon Rank cultivators soon.” James had a thoughtful expression. “Did my wife come to see you?”Herodias grinned broadly. “She came to the rescue when the Yang gove
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
