Emperor Yarden was very powerful and could read minds, allowing him to precisely pinpoint James’ weakness.Indeed, while James dearly wished for his family’s safety, he was also a man of deep moral conviction. He had a heroic spirit that aspired to seek justice for their worlds.Perhaps even James had not fully recognized the facets of his character, but Emperor Yarden easily saw through him.Emperor Yarden said, “The basis of love is the order of the world. At our heights, who doesn’t yearn to pursue the realms of freedom and ease?”“Just as I, despite having died many years ago, I still find myself entwined with the living world. Who can detach themselves from worldly affairs?”“Being open-minded and desiring nothing is great. However, being completely indifferent to the world’s sufferings also contributes to injustice and allows evil to prevail.”James closed his eyes and pondered Emperor Yarden’s words. It was as if he had grasped some of them but was still missing the essenc
James could not react to Emperor Yarden’s swift movements. After Emperor Yarden took the soul pearls, he swiftly unleashed subsequent bloody red light rays, sanctifying their glow.Emperor Yarden reprimanded, “Are you trying to destroy such great treasures? You possess both Hongrome Essence and Chaos Essence. Naturally, you should fuse these two first. Then, use the newly formed power to merge the soul pearls. It’ll achieve the best results.“Your approach just now was reckless. You could attain a stronger power but almost wasted it.”James asked, “Are you saying the Hongrome Essence and Chaos Essence can also be fused?”Emperor Yarden responded solemnly, “There is nothing that can’t be integrated. It’s the principle of cultivation, the ability to create something out of nothing and turn imagination into reality.“It seems you've yet to master any true fusion techniques, so I’ll introduce you to the Bloodshade Fusion Art.”After speaking, he lifted his hand, and a fiery red lig
Meanwhile, Herodias, hiding within the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell, grumbled, “Are these two trying to destroy this place? The tremors are only growing worse. Is this ever going to end?”Thea chuckled, “Usually, such a big commotion means a significant opportunity has arisen. We should be happy.”Herodias grunted, “Of course, your husband is destined for great fortune, but mine might not be that lucky.”Thea laughed uncontrollably, then said, “You’re underestimating Mr. Yegor too much. With Tirta Power as his foundation, he forged his righteous aura. He is a man of immense talent. Perhaps he might have the chance to have his righteous aura appraised.”Herodias’ eyes lit up at Thea’s words. Just as she was about to respond, a spectral soul emerged from the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell and interrupted the moment.“It’s time for us to talk, Herodias.” Herodias was visibly shocked by the voice.Thea exclaimed, “It’s Morgott.”Morgott smiled eerily and said, “Don’t panic. I don’t mean any har
On the other hand, James was still merging the Chaos and Hongrome Essence. Suddenly, he sensed the disturbances from the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell and immediately panicked. The two energy balls in his hands quivered intensely in response to his unstable emotions.Sensing the abnormalities, Emperor Yarden quickly rushed behind him. He extended his arms and began transferring energy into his body to stabilize the volatile energy.After a few moments, the energy balls in James’ palms burst with seven-colored lights. The light gradually spread throughout the cave, eventually permeating every area of the Forbidden Bloodshade.Boom! Bang!Another tremendous burst of lightning and thunder erupted, sending countless electricity bolts cascading toward James.The seven-colored energy balls in James’ hands grew increasingly radiant. After emitting a sudden flash, they returned to a state of tranquility.James took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. Two vibrant rays of light shot forth
As the Morgott flashed an evil grin, Herodias instinctively shielded in front of Thea.Herodias warned, “Don’t listen to him, Thea. He’s a liar, a deceiving demon. He promised my mother he would cease the slaughter of Zymurgy’s supreme beings. However, he did not keep his word. Ultimately, the former Tai Chi and Law of Paths died under his hands. He’s a—”Before Herodias could finish her accusation, Morgott abruptly extended his hand, and a terrifying purple-red light burst forth, merging into a massive, ghostly hand. Herodias was choked by the neck and lifted into the air.“You!” Thea was furious.Morgott warned in an icy tone, “Thea, I suggest you remain still. Otherwise, I’ll kill her. And you should know, being slain by hands means no chance of ever being reincarnated.”Thea’s hands clenched into a fist. “Did you secretly enter the Daeclon Rank?”Morgott responded with a sinister chuckle, “I have to thank your husband for that! If he hadn’t brought me to the Great Historial La
Thea sighed. “I originally thought you were a great hero. I didn’t think you’d—”Morgott interrupted abruptly, saying impatiently, “Shut up! Shut up! I’m not worthy of your praise. You’re my friend’s wife, so I’m going easy on you. But that doesn’t mean you can use these tricks on me.”Sensing Morgot’s annoyance, Thea laughed, “Then what must I do to make you believe me?”Morgott snorted and unleashed hundreds of purple-red light rays at Thea, enveloping her body in a menacing glow.The next second, he smiled wickedly, a hint of triumph in his voice: “I only believe in myself. What I know is controlling you means controlling James. Huh?”Before he could finish his words, the purple-red light around Tfadedfade away.Morgott’s eyes widened, and he stammered, “This…this…you? You’re immune to restrictions and curses? Even my Demonic Soul isn’t effective?”After a brief shock, Thea feigned a collapse to the ground with a dramatic thud. He clutched her head and cried, “Ahh! I’ve been
Inside the cave within the Forbidden Bloodshade, James was deeply engrossed in channeling his Wuia Essence to fuse the Historial Soul Pearl and the Marciais Soul Pearl. As he did, the cave was enveloped in a mesmerizing display of colorful light, illuminating the dim surroundings.Meanwhile, Lesia hovered above James and radiated with a six-color light. A faint purple light began to merge into a protective light shield, enveloping her within it. Lesia’s body began to mature, and eventually stopped when she had the appearance of innocent and beautiful twelve years old. Suddenly, Lesia flipped her hands in a fluid motion. Her body burst forth with a vibrant six-color power, blending seamlessly with the surrounding purple light shield. This fusion of energies intensified the barrier’s radiance.In an instant, the spectacle within the cave amplified, the colors growing even more vivid. As the purple light shield surrounding Lesia merged with the six colors, it transformed into a dazz
Emperor Yarden laughed and said, “But I’m curious how he will react when he sees you restored to your true form.“After all, you were considered one of the top three beauties in the world, even surpassing his wife, the esteemed Ying governor…”Lesia rolled her eyes and retorted, “Superficial. You’ve been dead for many years and still don’t understand mortals. They have emotions and desires. Choosing a partner based on looks isn’t love. It’s nothing but lust and desire.”Emperor Yarden smiled and stroked his beard. “You’ve been by his side day and night for so many years but never developed feelings for each other?”Lesia stated proudly, “We’re loyal comrades who will fight side-by-side. Moreover, he is madly in love with his wife. It’s to the point where other women don’t interest him in the slightest.”Emperor Yarden fell silent. Lesia looked at him and said, “We need to re-evaluate the treatment of the Greater Realm’s beings. In the past, we viewed creatures as greedy, selfish,
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
