“He’ll remember everything, including his exes from his past life!” Herodias complained, “I donʼt like your gift, so Yegor canʼt like it either!” James was struck speechless. He was amused by how eccentric Herodias could be at times. While he was briefly distracted, Herodias cast a blast of Tirta Power at Yegor. With a loud boom, the blast of Tirta Power was deflected by a cloud of purple gas that appeared around Yegor. On the other hand, Yegor seemed completely unaffected. Boom! James and Herodias moved away just in time to avoid the deflected Tirta Power. “What… What just happened?” Herodias was caught off guard. “It seems like Mr. Yegor has entered the Ninth Xaeclon Rank.” James explained, “I can’t tell what kind of powers his past self has, though.” “That’s impossible.” Herodias frowned slightly. “That’s just a spirit with powers at the peak of Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Ninth Tribulation. “There’s no way it’ll boost him to the Ninth Xaeclon Rank.” James was equal
James had been listening intently. “So, the battle between cultivators of the Marciais Power and the Historial Power broke out here on the Forladtt Landʼs fourth level back then. “They wanted to showcase their skills and powers to cultivators in the Great Historial Land so that the latter could decide which of the powers is the middle vital energy?” “No.” Yegor chuckled. “As far as I am aware, people from both sides have tried to send ten or so superior cultivators to learn and train in the Great Historial Land. “However, those men initiated a war when each group tried to monopolize the entrance to the Great Historial Land for themselves.” James was rendered speechless by how absurd the reason was for those men to initiate war back then. Just then, James recalled something and asked, “Mr. Yegor, I heard a mysterious energy had fallen upon this place and sealed all the cultivators at war. “That was how the war was stopped. Is that true?” “Yes.” Yegor nodded. “It was an ove
Jamesʼ initial plan was to get to the very top of the pyramid and arrive at the entrance leading to the fifth level of the Forladtt Land. However, James stopped abruptly just as he was trying to exit the sixth floor of the Pyramid Battlefield. He could sense a mysterious, overwhelming restriction suppressing him. James could not manage to overcome the restriction even though he had the Ultimate Golden Body and powers of the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. Yegor and Herodias quickly noticed that James had fallen behind. They returned to his side. “What’s the matter?” Herodias asked. “I suppose it’s because my cultivation is not enough.” James remained in the same spot. “I guess not everyone can make it to the entrance of the Great Historial Land.” Yegor and Herodias understood the situation almost immediately. The couple had achieved the Ninth Xaeclon Rank, but James was only on the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. Yegor knitted his brows. “Is there no other way for us to help you get through here
James managed to keep up by performing the Terrastride Step and Dawnblaze Form. He unleashed the Marciais Power fully. The purplish-gold powers and Jamesʼ tricolored powers collided in the air nonstop. The force of those collisions destroyed nearby star clusters almost instantaneously. At the side, Yegor and Herodias frowned as they watched the battle. James was capable of fighting Seventh Xaeclon Rank cultivators even though he had only reached the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. However, the mysterious, dark figure who just appeared was holding up against Jamesʼ attacks fairly well. The couple could tell that James had met a strong opponent. Boom! As James and the mysterious person threw their fists at each other, the tricolored power and purplish-gold power radiated to the surrounding space. Herodias and Yegor quickly conjured a wall of light consisting of the Tirta Power before them. However, cracks formed over the wall as the powers of different colors washed over the structur
James clicked his tongue. “Why do you look down on the beings from the Ying World so much?” “Why, you ask?” The mysterious figure snorted. “They are simple-minded beings who are obsessed with the Marciais Power and fighting. “They foolishly tried to master the Marciais Power after receiving some of Yianniʼs knowledge. They simply can’t grow stronger. Yianni was an exceptional hero whose powers surpassed countless cultivators across different realms. “However, his disciples and followers were just unremarkable. Isnʼt that pathetic?” “What about your people?” James snickered. “Are they that much stronger than the Ying Worldʼs beings?” “Of course!” The figure snapped, “If it werenʼt because that strange power sealed us, the Historial Power would have become one of the Historialʼs top vital energies.” Upon hearing those words, James laughed scornfully. “Why are you laughing?” The figure shone brighter with the purplish-gold light as his anger rose. “I’ll tell you the truth.
He looked at James. “Please spare him. He probably has more of the information that you’re looking for than I do.” James listened to the coupleʼs pleas and summoned the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell hovering above the mysterious manʼs Golden Body back. At the same time, the dark clouds overhead dispersed and disappeared. It was also quiet again as the bell chiming stopped. The purplish-gold light radiating from the Golden Body shone brightly at that moment. A few seconds later, the mysterious personʼs true form was revealed. A middle-aged man who had grey hair and wore a white robe stood before them. He had a face that would make anyone feel like the man had been through a lot. “Sir Yared, how have you been?” Herodias grinned. The middle-aged manʼs eyes bulged. “Youʼre… You’re Herodias?” “You have an excellent memory.” Herodiasʼ grin widened. “I could still recall how you were close to achieving the Daelcon Rank when you came to the Thirty-Third Heaven to see my mother. “How c
James could not stand Yaredʼs conceited attitude. He rolled his eyes. “Challenge? Can you really hold up against my attacks?” “Why you little…” Yared balled his fists. “Do you want to fight me again?” James snorted. “I’ve only spared you because Mr. Yegor and Ms. Herodias have asked me not to. “Otherwise, you would have become my cultivation resource now.” Yared looked slightly flustered and embarrassed as he turned his face away. “Who is this guy? How could he speak so arrogantly to me?”“I think he has every reason to do that.” Herodias smiled mischievously. “You’ve lost to him earlier, after all.” “Uh…” Yared looked at Yegor instead. He quickly realized that two out of the three people before him would not take his side no matter what. Yared might still be able to get some answers from Yegor since the latter had shown respect for him. Yegor let out a soft sigh. “Sir Yared, he’s the Chosen One and successor of the Marciais Power. Yaredʼs gaze fell on James again.
James fell silent. He could not help but feel slightly offended by those remarks since he had defeated Yared earlier. However, James could not deny that Yared was a competent cultivator to some extent. Herodias looked at James. “In the past, the three major realms were at peace. Those three realms were Zymurgy, Hokuwn, and the Tai Chi World. “Zymurgy came to exist because of the vital energies. They are in charge of affairs related to the Heavenly Tribulations and Paths. They reward those who are kind and generous. “On the other hand, Hokuwn was born from Zen. That place governs affairs relating to death, reincarnations, and souls. They punish those who commit sins.“Finally, we have the Tai Chi World inhabited by living beings. “We, living beings, spend our time trying to improve our cultivation. The kind cultivators may someday succeed in achieving their ambitions, whereas the evil cultivators may be annihilated at any moment. “One’s life and encounters will be affecte
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
