Xabat snorted and released the condensed Tai Chi Power in her hands, morphing them into two golden foxes that bellowed like thunder, hurtling straight toward James.Confronted with the mystical force, James remained motionless. As the two golden foxes charged forward, he bore an ominous grin.Then, something strange occurred.Upon reaching James, the two golden foxes abruptly halted and their roars silenced. Their bodies underwent a rapid reduction, transforming into two small nine-tailed foxes.“W-What’s going on? Why are my pets showing such deference toward him?” Xabat murmured in horror. Immediately afterward, Xabat’s two nine-tailed foxes suddenly released beams of purple-gold lights, which were whisked away by James. Seeing the scene before her, she was completely dumbfounded.Xabat suffered a backlash and crimson blood dripped from her lips as she staggered backward. ‘No, this cannot be. Despite his skills in close combat, he is merely at the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. He can’t
“Was that everything? Your formation is impressive and undoubtedly potent. Unfortunately, it was useless against me.” A faint voice came from the void. Xabat was startled after she recognized James’ voice. Despite being trapped within the Goldawn Formation, he remained calm.She pointed toward the formation and said, “Your resilience is commendable, James. However, your arrogance won’t last much longer. Though you have an Ultimate Golden Body, it’ll be impossible to breach my formation.”“Is that so? You’re quite confident.” James chuckled.At that moment, a larger golden body emitting gray, black, and white light rays materialized behind Xabat.The surroundings were enveloped in a shroud of ominous gray clouds, the pressure mounting like an impending storm.Sensing the immense force bearing down, Xabat panicked. She turned around and saw a massive fist being swung toward the formation.With a deafening boom, Xabat’s proud creation, the Goldawn Formation was shattered. A casca
James said while smiling, “Accept reality. Getting married is a joyous event. You shouldn’t end up like Tai Chi, who probably is single and insane.”The fox struggled, and roared, “Let me go, you demon! You will pay! Tai Chi won’t forgive you!”James smiled and said, “Aren’t you curious where the Tai Chi Messenger who was stationed in the New Alliance is right now? I’ll let you see him.”After speaking, James waved his hand and the Tai Chi Messenger appeared before him.Xabat turned around and exclaimed, “Ysander? You, demon! You sealed him?!!”“Not only did I seal him, I plan to uphold justice and obliterate his soul,” James said, thrusting his hand forward. A gray, black, and white force, emerged and annihilated Ysander.”“No…” Xabat cried out, but it was already too late.As Ysander disappeared into ashes, a large Soul Energy Ball floated in James’ hand.James summoned a beam of light and enlarged Ysander’s Soul Energy Ball, projecting countless unsightly scenes before Xabat
Xabat also remembered Xachary’s threats toward James before his escape. She began to question the identity of the shadowy figure.At that moment, a humming sound resounded and the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell slowly floated over.Soon after, the figure of the Demonic Spirit’s remnant soul materialized on the bell’s surface. Its grin was twisted and menacing, emitting bloodcurdling screams and roars. Its appearance exuded a palpable aura of violence.Witnessing the sight before her, Xabat’s expression changed drastically. She immediately exclaimed, “Morgott! That’s what Morgott looks like!”James smirked, saying, “It seems you know him. Then, what sets him apart from the one you saved just now?”Xabat was dumbfounded by his question. The Demonic Spirit confined within the Yuraceon Genesis Bell had the same purplish-red aura as the shadowy figure she had saved.It dawned on her that her intervention earlier had inadvertently aided Morgott’s spirit. Her convictions shattered before her ey
Lesia tossed a high-quality elixir into her mouth and said, “There’s no chance of that would happen. Morgott is stubborn but isn’t a fool. After finally escaping from Zymurgy, so why would he be willing to walk back there? Do you really believe those supreme beings are just for show?”James said amusedly, “You seem to know him quite well. Do you think he’d allow himself to be manipulated by Tai Chi?” Lesia countered, “Morgott’s ultimate goal is to break free from his seal. He’d ally with anyone who can help him, even Tai Chi.”James said meaningfully, “Is Tai Chi not worried about being unable to control him, and her plan backfiring on her?”Lesia looked at James and replied, “Her main concern is getting rid of you and the Yin governor. After using Morgott for her purpose, she will be able to avoid the Tai Chi Tribulation. Then, under the guise of vanquishing Margott, she can request the help of Zumurgy’s supreme beings and clean up the mess.”“If they manage to seal Morgott away
James turned around and looked at Gladwin, saying, “You’ve changed, but our bet hasn’t.”With a horrified expression, Gladwin said, “Why are you in the Genesis Worlds? Don’t you know about Tai Chi’s decree to kill you?”James sneered, “So what? Don’t tell me you’re after me too?”Gladwin felt a shiver down his spine and quickly lowered his head, thinking to himself, ‘Are you kidding me? You possess unfathomable strength right now. Even Xachary who had suddenly surged to the Xaeclon Rank was no match for you. I’d be seeking my death if I were to go after your life.’Under James’ scrutiny, Gladwin suddenly asked, “Where’s Xachary? Did you kill him?”“Is that what you’re hoping for? That way you can take over the Timaeus Sect and Righteous Alliance?” James said smilingly.Gladwin’s face instantly showed embarrassment after his thoughts were exposed.James put his hands behind his back and slowly walked behind Gladwin, saying, “Don’t worry. You’ll prove useless in your own ways. How
Meanwhile, the Forladtt Land’s first level was full of joy and laughter.A few beautiful young women chatted happily as they picked spiritual fruits from towering trees.“Hey! Did you hear about our empire’s Martial Tournament? The highest reward is supposedly a Spiritual Tool!”“Of course, I did! It’s rumored the top one hundred people will be permitted to the fourth level to cultivate. That’s the outer battlefield that contains countless exceptional treasures!“The Fifth Legion has sent several powerhouses at the Yurarceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation. The Legion Commander also promised to accept anyone who ranks top ten in the tournament as his disciples and pass on Curse Magic to them.”“Goodness! How are we so unlucky? We couldn’t even make it past the first elimination round.”“Pick your fruits. We’re still far from the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation.”James quietly cast the Terrastride Sep and entered the Forladtt Land, listening to their chatter with a smile.
Their cultivation had surpassed that of Jacopo and Xainte, reaching the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation’s Consummation.However, James perceived that despite their advancements, these two youths still lagged behind Jacopo and Xainte in terms of combat prowess. After all, Jacopo and Xainte were disciples of Clayton, who prioritized practical application and speed over cultivation strength.Suddenly, a clear voice resonated from the outer battlefield’s fifth floor. “Hurry up! If you’re unable to exterminate thirty thousand remnant souls in a single attack, you’re unworthy of being James’ children.”Upon hearing the admonishment, Noel and Winnie’s expression turned somber. They immediately sprung into action again, their onslaught becoming swifter and more precise.The siblings unleashed countless clones and cast a diverse variation of Supernatual Powers. Their righteous aura and the power of heaven and earth permeated the surroundings, obliterating countless remnant souls t
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
