Herodias turned her gaze to Yared, her tone heavy with accusation. “Since you seem to possess such extensive knowledge, why did you choose to diminish the strength of all the Greater Realms, thereby granting Zymurgy the greatest advantage?”“We were deceived. At that time, Tai Chi used Zymurgy’s Sanctum Token, claiming to be opening an opportunity for another being to enter the Daeclon Rank. It triggered the war within the Greater Realms,” Yared sighed.Herodias reprimanded, “Foolish. How would you believe Yehria’s words?”“We thought the founders of the Historial Power and Marciais Power had positively influenced Zymurgy. Moreover, it had been hundreds of thousands of entrapochs since someone had reached the Daeclon Rank. Who could resist such temptation?” Yared said defensively.Herodias was rendered speechless.Meanwhile, James slowly closed his eyes.Yehria’s authority provided her with the leverage to manipulate others. She pretended to allow the Greater Realm’s living being
James and his companions followed Yared’s lead. With a sudden burst of light, they found themselves atop a vast mountain enveloped in swirling mist.To their surprise, amidst this serene setting, two elderly men with white hair clad in robes, engaged in a chess game. However, their chess differed from the conventional game. They utilized the vast expanse of the void as their chessboard, with planets serving as the pieces, harnessing the formidable power of the Historial Power as their hands to manipulate and display their masterful skill. The sight was magnificent and unique.In the void, their chess board was etched with lines of purple-gold light and adorned with countless stars. Dim and radiant planets intermingled, forming a celestial chess game.Witnessing the spectacle, Yegor promptly sent a telepathic message to James, asking, “Do you understand what’s unfolding here?”James replied, “It’s amazing. It seems like the chess movements are mysterious and complicated Supernatural
Following another series of thunderous explosions, James’ eight clones shattered the constraint, knocking the chubby old man tens of thousands of meters away.He regained his balance and said surprisedly, “Who is this man? How does he wield such an extraordinary Supernatural Power?”“Let me have a go at them,” The tall old man declared, immediately positioning himself above the eight clones. He waved his hand, unleashing a gush of Historial Power. Instantly, countless palms materialized across the sky and descended like meteors.Simultaneously, the chubby old man raised his palms and summoned countless Sword Lights infused with Historial Power. The Sword Lights quickly encircled James’ clones, rapidly constricting and exerting pressure on them.Seeing James’ clones in imminent danger, Yegot hurriedly warned, “Those are your mental projections, James. You’ll suffer any harm inflicted upon them.James abruptly opened his eyes, which flashed with gray, black, and white lights.“Two
Yegor clenched his fists and said, “This is unfair. Both of them are at the Eighth Xaeclon Rank, but are teaming up against someone at the Fifth Xaeclon Rank? Do they not have any honor?”Just as he was about to intervene, Herodias stopped him.“What are you doing?” Yegor’s face darkened.Meanwhile, Yared crossed his arms and commented excitedly, “These two old men haven’t had a good and enjoyable fight for a long time. They should experience it themselves, or else they’d think I’m exaggerating.”Surprised, Yegor asked, “Did you do this on purpose?”Yared replied with a grin, “You fail to grasp the situation. If I were to tell them this youngster defeated me, they’d surely mock me and think they’re better than me. Wouldn’t that be a blow to my reputation?“Let them join forces against him and personally experience the might of Yianni’s Marciais Soul.“But there’s no need to fret. It’s for his benefit. Through this battle, he’ll gain insight, and his future path will become smoot
“Historial Cloud Master, Wynneth Zolstice, Supreme Sword God, Hawthorne Longstride,” Herodias addressed them, a hint of amusement in her voice, “The two of you were once unrivaled figures, commanding legions and reigning supreme over countless living beings. Do you acknowledge your defeat?”The two old men exchanged glances, their discomfort palpable.They had experienced Herodias’ sharp tongue long ago in the Tai Chi World. After allowing her to see them in such pitiful states, they knew retorting would only further embarrass them.“There, there,” Yared clapped and said with a smirk, “You two claim to be top five in the Tai Chi World, but it seems I, ranked sixth, might be better.”With a smug expression, Yared approached the two old men and said, “Allow me to formally introduce him. The man who bested you is the successor of Yianni's Marciais Soul. His name is…”He paused and looked at Yegor.Yegor took over, saying with a smile, “James Caden.”“Yes, it’s James,” Yared turne
“Hold on,” James suddenly interrupted, asking, “What’s the difference between the Daeclon Mahayana and the Daeclon Rank?"Yegor patiently explained, “As you know, the Daeclon Rank is different from the Xaeclon Rank, which has nine levels. Meanwhile, the Daeclon Rank only has four levels, namely the Xurxo Daeclon Rank, Yitro Daeclon Rank, Soma Daeclon Rank, and Historial Daeclon Rank. Living beings are accustomed to calling it the Daeclon Mahayana.”“Every hurdle in the Daeclon Rank is like an insurmountable chasm, each with a prerequisite. Not only does one need an Ultimate Golden Body, a second body, but one must also be capable of summoning more than four clones and consolidating them into physical entities at the Ninth Xaeclon Rank. Additionally, one must be able to merge them seamlessly.“The level one can reach within the Daeclon Rank depends on the kind of power cultivated beforehand. To reach a higher level, one must be able to fuse higher powers.”James gasped in astonishment
Herodias snorted coldly. “Although James hasn’t reached the Daeclon Rank, he has an Ultimate Golden Body that qualifies him into the Daeclon Mahayana. Kneel, you three old farts.”Yared and the two old men were startled. Although horrified, they refused to kneel.Never did they expect that this young man named James would possess such a remarkable background.The tall old man scrutinized James and asked, "Gray clouds and thousands of bells chiming. Are you above the Genesis Powers and have mastered the Marciais Combat Form? Have you met all of them?”The chubby man chimed in, saying, “That’s not all. You must also have Nirvana Golden Bones, a Quasar Second Body, the Dernaturae, and the Daeclon Mahayana. Do you also possess these?”Herodias retorted, “You obstinate fools. If he already had them all, you two would be mere ants.”Yegor explained sincerely, “James almost has them all. You three should be convinced by now.”Suddenly, James waved his hand, unleashing a formidable powe
“Such impudence.” Another figure, a tall and unattractive middle-aged man clad in a robe, descended from the void.Yet another figure materialized in a shimmer of golden light—a young woman adorned in a black and white robe. Brandishing a sword, she leveled it at the other woman who had arrived before her and reprimanded sternly, “Your audacity knows no bounds, Faela. You’re a successor of the Marciais Power. While Sir Yuldra may tolerate your presence due to his benevolence, such behavior will not be condoned.Faela snorted disdainfully in response, then fixed her focus on the elderly man.The elderly man smiled and said, “Your ally, also your opponent, has arrived.”“A successor to the martial arts realm?” Faela’s brow furrowed in consternation. The elderly man smiled gently and replied with a nod, “Yeah. This may very well be the breakthrough to our situation.”Faela immediately looked in the direction where James was with a doubtful expression.The other two individuals exc
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
