The gigantic purplish-black lotus carried Thea and shot toward James. However, the lotus bounced off slightly as it came into proximity to the malevolent energy. Simultaneously, an ominous, blinding light radiated from James, who was enveloped in the purplish-red malevolent energy. It dyed the purplish-blue space around them in an eerie shade of purplish-red. Gusty winds whistled. Tremors could be felt in the space around them. The impatient Corey had a look of horror on his face as he witnessed the apocalyptic scene before him. Meanwhile, his captives, Yegor and Herodias, had stopped screaming. It was not solely because the powers of the sword formation acting on them had been abruptly cut off. Apart from that, the couple were also stunned and terrified by the sight before them. “He chose to do this to save us… That silly child,” Yegor sighed and said in a shaky voice. “No… No!” Herodias held her head between her hands. “You can’t let him control you, James. What would
The purplish-red sword energy shot toward Yegor and Herodias immediately. Both Herodias and Yegor sustained severe injuries. They could see that the sword energy was aiming at them. However, the sword energy was moving at an incredible speed, and the couple was overpowered by the sword energy’s aura. They just did not have the strength to dodge the attack or fight back. Herodias and Yegor closed their eyes in resignation. They would fight back if they could. Unfortunately, the couple had yet to possess that level of power. Furthermore, they were not sure if it was Morgott or James who had control over the other person. To their surprise, nothing happened although seconds passed. Still, they could feel a tremendous amount of pressure coming down on them. As they opened their eyes, the couple could see the purplish-red sword energy levitate right before their faces. Curiously, it had stopped moving. “James, are you trying to dispose of me after using my help?” Morgottʼs irr
James immediately looked in Theaʼs direction. He noticed instantly that Theaʼs body was glowing with a purplish-black light. A thick mist surrounded her form. Still, James could see the grimace on Theaʼs face. “Morgott, get back inside the bell now!” James bellowed. “Calm down, James.” Morgott chuckled. “With your powers, you can access the Great Historial Land. However, you won’t be able to bring your wife and the couple along.“Let me have your Ultimate Golden Body for a while. I promise to keep your wife and child safe. Your child will surely be born a gifted Historial Child.” James fell silent. Lesia transmitted her voice. “Morgott, you may have taken over Masterʼs body, but that does not mean I will let you do whatever you want. “If you dare play some sort of trick on us, I will take you down with me.” “I get it,” Morgott said flatly, “I know you’ve always looked down on me. However, I’m not a fool. I know what to do and what not to do. After all, I admire James mor
“Thea…” James called out. However, he was stopped by Yegor, who grabbed him by the shoulder. Yegor smiled reassuringly. “Herodias is more experienced than you in this matter.” “I… but…” James frowned. “Why is my wife screaming so much, though? She… she…” Yegor burst into laughter as he looked at how nervous James was. Just then, the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell materialized above James. It expanded and moved toward Herodias and Thea, placing itself over Herodiasʼ formation instantly. Lesia, Hera, and even Xabat came out of the bell the next instant and began helping out inside Herodiasʼ formation. James paced around anxiously as he watched what was happening. He wanted to do something to help but did not know where to start. It was what every father would go through. James had always felt bad about him being absent when Thea gave birth to their children previously. Finally, he got to experience what it was like when their child was about to be born. Yegor crossed his arms
The Hongrome Quasar Soul formed a cocoon around Thea. Simultaneously, it generated a force that pushed those around Thea like Lesia, Hemera, and Herodias away from her. The Hongrome Quasar Soul lifted Thea higher in the air. It began shining brightly with vivid, colorful lights. Purple clouds gathered above them. Thunder clashed as tremendous amounts of purple Hongrome Aura came from different directions and pooled in the sky. “A Hongrome Birth!” Yegor exclaimed, “That’s a really good fortune!” “The true Hongrome Child will be born.” Morgottʼs spirit grinned. “James, your childʼs potential will be immeasurable.” Suddenly, the purple auras in the sky started flowing quickly toward the orb of light formed by the Hongrome Quasar Soul. The light orb was visibly growing larger. Thea began screaming hysterically. A while later, she yelled angrily, “James, you horrible bastard! Ah…” Her shrill screams reverberated through the space. James was extremely worried and nervous wait
It was too late. Morgottʼs spirit moved past the purple auras and entered the baby’s body at an astounding speed. “Hahaha! The Hongrome Child is mine!” Morgott manipulated the childʼs body and started laughing. “With this fortune, I will be able to break my seal soon! No one will be able to defeat me!” “Die!” Herodias materialized next to the ball of purple aura. She lifted the Tirta Sword and swung it down forcefully. James immediately demonstrated the Dawnblaze Form and destroyed the sword energy with a punch. “James, what are you doing?” Herodias yelled at him. “Ms. Herodias, that’s my child.” James said through clenched teeth, “You’ll harm it if you try to kill Morgott.” Herodias argued, “Morgott claimed its body! If you donʼt kill it now, it will only bring more disasters.” “Let me take care of this.” James bowed his head slightly. “Please, Ms. Herodias.” “Herodias, you’re being too rash.” Yegor caught up with the pair and grabbed Herodias’ arm. “You should let
James remained silent after listening to what Morgott said. Behind him, Herodias and Yegor exchanged a glance. Both of them were frowning slightly. If James were to agree to cooperate with Morgott, the two of them would make an indestructible team. Even though they were both Ninth Xaeclon Rank cultivators who possessed the Tirta Power, Yegor and Herodias were still no match for the pair. Still, the couple believed that James would not do that. That was because James was very different from Morgott, especially in terms of his personality. The Yin governor, his wife, would always be James’ first priority. She meant the world to him. Moreover, they just had another kid. The child’s presence would also give James courage and a sense of purpose. A short while later, James glanced over his shoulder at Yegor and Herodias, who were staring at him. Then, he turned his eyes to Thea, who was still lying on her back while levitating mid-air. There was a flash of determination in hi
Suddenly, the baby who was enveloped in a mass of the purple Hongrome Aura started spinning slowly. “Oi! Whatʼs happening?” Morgott called out nervously, “I didnʼt tell you to spin! Why are you spinning now?” The baby spun faster, despite his frantic screaming. A stiff wind blew, causing the purple auras to swirl in the air. A short while later, Morgott started screaming in pain. “Shit! This… This is a girl with the Ultimate Yin body type! I didnʼt expect this…” James had a look of bewilderment on his face as he listened to Morgottʼs desperate cries. Meanwhile, Herodias and Yegor were visibly delighted to hear what was happening. On the other hand, Lesia had moved the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell to hover above the baby. She appeared to be attracted to the energy emanated by the baby. “No! No!” Morgott shouted in a shrill voice, “I was wrong! I admit that Iʼm wrong! Let me go! Release me!” Unfortunately, Morgottʼs pleas were completely ignored. Just then, the spinning bab
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
