The character and integrity of these four individuals were commendable, far surpassing the treacherous and deceitful elders of the Genesis Worlds.James felt that the group would be useful in obliterating Tai Chi soon. After deciding, he slowly approached them, with the Sky Bridge continuing to form beneath his feet.Observing James’ movement, Jacopo and Xainte exchanged glances. Then, they swiftly followed suit, gripping their swords tightly with vigilant expressions.Seeing James step toward them, Wayra, Matias, and Princess Lumia immediately assumed defensive stances as if preparing to confront a formidable opponent. At that moment, they wondered who the powerful individual approaching them was.Amidst the ever-shifting dynamics of the Genesis Worlds, they had never encountered such a formidable entity whose cultivation level remained inscrutable even to their keen perception.“Don’t act hastily. Let’s find out what he wants first,” Wayra advised her companions with a telepathi
James remained composed at his question, but Princess Lumia and Wayra raised their heads, unable to conceal their shock.If the man before them were from the Dark World, then they would be in trouble. They had to abide by the Law of Tai, which mandated their opposition to all Dark Beings.Since Tai Chi’s decree was issued, they have slaughtered thousands of Dark Beings and it had already sparked an unending animosity.After a long silence, James lifted his head and sighed, “I’ve meticulously calculated it. It’s been over twenty entrapochs since we last met in the Zephyria World.”After the revelation, Wayra, Princess Lumia, and Matias immediately looked surprised. The powerful man’s words had stirred up long-forgotten memories of the past.The trio frantically sifted through their memories, trying to remember the events and people from the Zephyria World. Eventually, they seemed to have ended up recalling one particular individual and their eyes simultaneously widened in shock.A
James clasped his hands behind his back, lifted his head, and let out a hearty laugh, “The Tai Chi’s decree is nothing to me.”He squinted, then said, “It seems like you three are itching for a fight to catch up on our old times together. Well then, I’d be happy to oblige. Come at me at once.”The trio exchanged glances, then unleashed their powerful auras and launched simultaneous attacks on James from different directions.James stood his ground completely undaunted by their efforts. He calmly summoned the Judgment Scythe and Adjudication Sword, then channeled his Marciais Power.Their forces clashed, marking the beginning of an intense battle.The three powerhouses at the Quasi Daeclon Rank, fought with their intense Qrohm and Historial Power, unleashing all of their Supernatural Powers.Meanwhile, James was merely fighting for amusement and to gauge the strength of his old acquaintances. Hence, he feigned an equal match with them, withholding most of his strength.The Marcia
After a prolonged silence, Matias drew in a deep breath and said, “Leave, Forty-nine. Pretend our paths never crossed today. Return to the Dark World and never return.”James arched an eyebrow and asked, “You’re letting me go?”Matias parted his lips, but his words were caught in his throat.Wayra stared at Matias and hurriedly said, “Are you out of your mind? Tai Chi’s decree mandates that failure to eliminate him if we see him will bring disaster upon our entire sect!”Matias slowly shut his eyes, saying, “Then shall we pay his saving grace with enmity? I simply can’t bring myself to do such a thing.”Wayra stood in stunned silence for a moment before bursting out in frustration. “Why are we so unlucky?”Princess Lumia said, “We’re in charge of watching the Xyndaros Genesis World. As long as we keep our silence, nobody will know, ain’t that correct?”Wayrna glared at Princess Lumia and snapped, “You’re being naive. Countless eyes witnessed us being teleported away. If we fail
“Nonsense. Who’s injured? "We just missed out on a chance to reach the Daeclon Rank. We’re just trying to come to terms with it,” Princess Lumia retorted, her eyes flashing with irritation. “Sigh! Why did the Dark World’s Demon have to be Forty-nine? Why couldn’t it have been Yaquis or Nando instead?” Matias shook his head frustratedly.Hearing their exchange, Wayra settled to the ground and snorted contemptuously, “Weren’t you two the ones so set on letting him go? Are you regretting it already?”Matias rolled his eyes, and replied, “I simply can’t bring myself to be someone with ingratitude. My Grand Patriarch warned me that if I did something like that, even if I were to reach the Daeclon Rank, I would never reach the Daeclon Mahayana Rank.”Wayra scoffed, “That’s absurd. Then, how did someone so wicked like Yaquis surpass us in cultivation?”“You’re so clueless. Before the Daeclon Rank, one has to rely on talent and luck. However, after entering the Daeclon Rank, one’s past
In the void ahead, James who had supposedly left with grave injuries, returned in his Ultimate Golden Form. He was surrounded by mysterious powers in shades of grey, black and white, illuminating the area.Countless grey clouds drifted around, accompanied by the lingering chime of bells, flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder, blazing flames, and howling winds, casting an imposing and overwhelming aura.Princess Lumia, Matias, and Wayra suddenly felt an overpowering pressure wash over them, instantly shattering their Genesis Divine Light.While still shocked, they were forced to their knees by the force and were completely unable to resist.At that moment, they knew what true terror and despair in the face of a formidable opponent felt like. Whatever thoughts of fighting back or even self-destruction were shattered in his presence.Their Genesis and Historial Powers were swiftly sealed, leaving them helpless and trapped within the space.Within seconds, their cheeks flushed under
Wayra and Princess Lumia were taken aback by Matais’ words.Meanwhile, Matias stared at James and asked, “Why go through such elaborate measures, Forty-nine? What are you trying to achieve?”Wayra and Princess Lumia looked at James warily.James complimented, “As expected from the Jercente Sect’s Young Master, you’ve got impressive insight. Since we’re old friends, I’ll stop the pretense and cut to the chase.”With his hands behind his back, James slowly approached, saying, “I didn’t mean to demean or flaunt my power before you. Rather, I was simply seeking for like-minded comrades to join forces and change our chaotic worlds.”Wayra, Princess Lumia, and Matias all widened their eyes in disbelief. They wondered whether James meant to defy the Law of Tai Chi to the bitter end.James said smilingly, “And of course, you three had passed my test. I believe you three are the allies that I’m looking for.“I could’ve easily manipulated you with Curse Magic, turning you into my puppets.
Matias settled onto the ground, summoning a wine gourd and taking a long draught. Though he remained silent, his actions spoke volumes, conveying his decision.Princess Lumia and Wayra looked at him in surprise.“Will you not reconsider, Matias?” asked Wayra.“What about becoming the Jercente Sect’s Leader?” Princess Lumia chimed in, equally urgent. Matias set down his wine gourd, and said, “While Forty-nine has only crossed paths with us once, his comprehension of us and the Genesis Worlds surpasses our own. While I can’t claim to represent my sect, I can certainly choose on my own behalf.”With his declaration made, he turned toward James and said, “You’re right. I don’t know about the others, but I refuse to spend my life as a servant or become a pawn for someone else’s ambitions.”Princess Lumia and Wayra exchanged uneasy glances.Without a true understanding of James’ strength, the choice was easy to make. But after they realized his undeniable strength, it was clear their
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
