Looking at the graceful woman, James narrowed his eyes. “Lord Zenda, aren’t you meditating in seclusion for your injuries? Why do you have time to come out and meet me, a lowly living being?”When Zenda heard that, her face flushed. She bowed and apologized, “Chosen One, we have offended you many times. I hope you can forgive us.”Enunciating each word, James said, “If I don’t forgive you, Zazen Temple will have broken walls and be full of blood.”Upon hearing that, Zenda felt chills run down her back. She bowed even lower. “Thank you for having mercy on us!”James took a deep breath. He threw Horatio onto the ground. Then, he said, “You don’t need to thank me. Thank yourself for being smart.”At that, Zenda straightened her back. Astonishment flashed across her eyes.“Is he your brother?” James used his chin to point at Horatio lying on the ground in fear.Zenda was stunned. She looked at Horatio. “Yes, but he’s cruel and perverted. He always causes trouble using the name of Za
In the huge Zazen Palace, James stood before a lifelike portrait. As he stared at the elder in the portrait wearing a red robe and stepping on huge waves with a red halo on his head, the Decachrome Holy Light in his eyes changed rapidly.A while later, red power erupted in the portrait. It engulfed James instantly.In that instant, James felt so overwhelmed that his Ultimate Golden Body was baptized by the waves. Thus, the two Quintessential Hearts in his body were purified. Then, they upgraded to two Nonusential Hearts. His red hair returned to black instantly. His terrifying aura changed and was entirely hidden.After the light dissipated, James, who was tall and had long legs, was dull. He didn’t have the slightest fluctuation in power.Zenda was standing behind James and covered her mouth in shock. “It’s the Nonusential Heart. It’s one of the Five Energies. It hides one’s spirit in the heart.”James didn’t answer her. Instead, he stared at the portrait. The lifelike elder had
“So, none of the seven holy temples have the Soma Daeclon Rank powerhouse?” James asked.Lord Zenda responded, “It’s said to exist, but it’s never been seen.”“What about your Zazen Temple?” James fixed his gaze on Lord Zenda.“Well...” Lord Zenda hesitated. “If we had it, we wouldn’t have been bullied by Haurvatat Temple.” James fell silent as he looked at Lord Zenda. Previously, he had thought that the background of Yehria must be beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, possibly even the Supreme Path. However, it seemed that things were not as he had expected.The seven holy temples jointly promoted Yehria to ascend to the position of Tai Chi, establishing an unbreakable ceiling above the heads of all living beings in the myriad realms.‘Why was this so? Was it because of the Chosen One? Considering the Ten Holy Temples’ contemptuous attitude towards living beings in the Great Historial Land, the fact that they could elect Yehria, who was born as a living being, as the Tai Chi undoub
“It’s Haurvatat Temple,” Lord Zenda hastily replied. “Whether they capture you or your wife, it’s all to please Adina. This is not only because she is the strongest powerhouse of the Great Historial Land, but also because she holds the status of a Chosen One. As long as they elevate Adina to the position of the Supreme Path, they can claim credit for supporting her and gain endless benefits.”“Okay.” James nodded. “I want to save my wife now. How do you plan to support me?”Lord Zenda was taken aback, then said, “What’s your current cultivation base? I can’t see through it. It’s basically falling into a trap if you haven’t reached the Soma Daeclon Rank.”James glanced at him, then turned around and asked, “Would you dare to take action against Haurvatat Temple if I used the name of Zazen Temple?”“Well...” Lord Zenda was suddenly at a loss for words.James said, “I’ll back you up.”Lord Zenda lifted her head. “Are you confident about that?”James fell silent again. At this mom
Lord Zenda replied, “Let him die.”It left the man in the white robe speechless.Haurvatat Temple was situated within Haurvatat Nova. A towering and vast palace spanning thousands of stars, resplendent and majestic. In the main hall, a handsome young man, dressed in the attire of a noble, held a brush in his hand, gracefully maneuvering it across a scroll shimmering with iridescence. On the scroll, the name “James Caden” was written in bold seal script, exuding strength and elegance.Beside him, a mysterious woman in a purple robe chuckled lightly. “You study diligently in every aspect of living beings, not hesitating to be tainted by worldly affairs. Do you know what these two characters represent?”“The leader of all living beings, the Chosen One,” said the man as he smiled faintly. “He is also the first stumbling block for you on your Supreme Path to mastery.”“Is he not an opponent?” the woman in the purple robe asked.“Him?” The man burst into laughter. “He’s a lowly living
Outside the protective formation of Haurvatat Temple. Under James’ control, Lord Zenda led a group of Yitro Daeclon Rank powerhouses, along with the man in the white robe, hovering in the void with a formidable aura. They were ready for battle.As they challenged Haurvatat Temple, dozens of mysterious powerhouses suddenly emerged from within its formation, confronting Lord Zenda and her group in a standoff. Leading them were Sherman and Manny, the so-called envoys James encountered when he first entered the Great Historial Land.Staring at the imposing Lord Zenda and her companions, Sherman’s face darkened as he exclaimed, “Lord Zenda, you haven’t settled the score for snatching our Chosen One yet. Now you come to Haurvatat Temple to make trouble. Isn’t that too much?”“This is too much!” Manny said coldly as usual.Lord Zenda showed no interest in engaging with them. However, the man in the white robe standing beside her sneered, “Does Haurvatat Temple think it can stop us by brin
A flippant male voice suddenly echoed in the void, tinged with mockery. Within the Haurvatat Formation, a massive, colorful carriage, supported by four stunning ladies dressed in white robes, swiftly approached. Ribbons fluttered around the carriage, and inside sat a handsome young gentleman, elegantly fanning himself.At the sight, Lord Zenda’s brows almost knitted together in a knot. Meanwhile, James could not help but scoff, “What a show-off, this so-called Emperor of the Yatagan Sword.”“Not as dashing as you,” murmured Lesia. “His carriage is quite interesting. Do you want me to snatch it for you to ride?”James chuckled softly and responded via transmission, “I won’t stoop to such foolishness.”At this moment, Lord Zenda fixed a cold gaze on the man in the carriage and spoke sharply, “Neville Haurva, surrender the Yin governor. Perhaps we can avoid a battle.”Neville’s eyes immediately sparkled with interest. “What did you say? The Yin governor, one of the three most beautif
“The Yatagan Sword that suppressed the Great Historial Land isn't that impressive,” said Lord Zenda. With a flick of her fingers, the massive purple light sword, originally aimed at Zoltan, abruptly changed direction.“It’s only polite to reciprocate. Let me return the favor!” Lord Zenda exclaimed. She flicked her fingers forward. The purple light sword, carrying a majestic purple and white Sword Energy, charged straight towards Neville.Boom! Another thunderous explosion echoed as the purple light sword swiftly collided with the carriage ridden by Neville, unleashing a terrifying force. In its wake, the four ladies supporting the carriage were all sent flying and heavily wounded. Meanwhile, Neville soared into the air from the explosion, still elegantly fanning himself as he stepped atop a purple cloud.“Well done, Zenda,” Neville sneered. “You’re truly worthy of being the strongest in Zazen Temple. Since I can’t have the Yin governor, I’ll settle for you, the stunning beauty of th
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
