For a while, Morgott stared silently at the Xyloria Tai Chi Pearl with rounded eyes. Suddenly, he leaped to his feet and shouted excitedly, “Shit! Did you dig up Xyloria Tai Chiʼs grave? “She’s not buried in a grave, though. There is the Kronosia Realm…” James rolled his eyes. “I took it from Yehria.” “Sheʼs one sneaky lady.” Morgottʼs eyes widened even more. “I searched everywhere after killing the Xyloria Tai Chi but couldn’t find the pearl. I thought I must have somehow destroyed it. Who knew it was hidden so well?” James responded, “You donʼt have to elaborate on your past wrongdoings. So, is this considered one of the Five Spirits?” “Of course!” Morgott nodded vigorously. “The Xyloria Tai Chi Pearl is a manifestation of Xyloria Tai Chiʼs spirit. “It can be used to control all living beings. What’s more, it is a top-grade item of the Tai Chi Aura required for the Five Spirits Integration. “You’re in luck, James. You got such a great item for the Tai Chi Aura. You’ll
James also finally understood why Morgott was so frightened when he unsheathed the Jozo Sword. “Good heavens!” Morgott stared at James. “I’m glad I’ve chosen to join your side. Otherwise, I would probably be exterminated for good this time.” James took a deep breath. “So, can I head up to the Forty-Ninth Heaven and defeat the Five Path Emperors using this sword?” Morgott fell silent and looked to the side. There was something strange about the look on his face. It was as if he was trying to plot something. James knitted his brows. “Perhaps you can.” Morgott tapped his finger on his chin. “However, it is a different story if they use the gates in the battle.” James replied, “I have the knowledge of the Three Treasures Integration, this sword, and the cultivation of a Soma Daeclon Rank cultivator…” “You should still master the Five Spirits Integration first.” Morgott cut him off. “The Forty-Ninth Heaven is like a huge trap for us. “We only have one chance to attack that p
James raised his hand and cast a small cloud of Innate Energy into the energy ball given by Wesley. In a flash, an open scroll appeared before his eyes. Several lines shining with blood-red light were written on the scroll. “For a long time, we had hope. All beings waited for the Caden Supreme Path to restore peace and restructure the world. “Donʼt fret even if it’s a matter of life and death. I will do everything in my power and risk my life even if I have to. To prepare the way for you to achieve the Supreme Path and realize the Bloodshade Theory. “Therefore, I have three reminders for you. “First, practice the Three Treasures and search for the Five Spirits. Strengthen your base and steel your resolve. Recluse yourself and enhance your powers. “Second, bring peace and order to the Tai Chi. Open up the Historial and let others in. Use your men wisely and form a new system. “Third, pause the Tai Chi Tribulation. Keep the Yin governor and Morgott under control. Be extre
A good-looking man wearing a black robe levitated mid-air in a seated position. A bright purple light and a tremendous amount of Qrohm emanated from his body. Apart from that, the man was surrounded by countless colorful, slow-rotating light orbs. Upon a closer look, those light orbs were actually mini universes. The word “Path” floated above the manʼs head, glowing faintly and rotating slowly. It added an air of authority and holiness to the man. A beam of Quell Divine Light appeared in a far corner just then. A beautiful young lady in a white robe stepped out of the light the next instant. Her body glowed with the Quell Divine Light as well. The man’s eyes flew open. “Huh? What are you doing here?” “I have good news and bad news.” The lady smiled mischievously. “Which do you want to hear first?” The man clicked his tongue. “Leirita, I donʼt like playing your childish games. Just say what you have to say.” Then, he closed his eyes. “You already have the Three Treas
“What a pity…” Leirita treaded slowly. “Youcef Maevik, the number one cultivator among Zymurgyʼs younger generation. The Chosen One who will most likely be the next Supreme Path… “Yet you were completely clueless about a potential enemy. Instead, you are still stuck in that naive and arrogant delusion of being matchless among your peers. What a joke!” Leirita focused her gaze on the man. “Youcef, I’ve heard that Yehria is your older sister. She is captured by your opponent now. Shouldnʼt you, her brother, do something…” “Shut up…” Youcef said bitingly. In an instant, the mini universes around him emanated overwhelming amounts of pressure simultaneously. The pressure came down on Leirita. Leirita was not intimidated in the slightest. She released the Quell Divine Light to protect herself. “Leirita, you shouldn’t be picking fights with anyone just because you’ve reached the Daeclon Mahayana Rank.” Youcefʼs monotonous voice rang through the space. “Even if you’re my fiance
“Great!” Yegor laughed heartily. “For so long, we had to follow those pretentious supreme beings’ rules. “We’ve had enough! We’ll form our own group and system and completely ignore them.” Herodias rolled her eyes. “Jamesʼ plan of becoming independent is just a temporary thing. “Once he becomes the Supreme Path, all realms will fall under his governance, including Zymurgy.” “Of course!” Yegor turned his eyes to James. “We should start working on enhancing and refining our skills and powers. “With abundant cultivation resources, I’m sure we living beings won’t lose to Zymurgyʼs beings in terms of power.” “That is why I’ve chosen the group of you.” James said in a deep voice, “It takes more than our current manpower to be enough to bring down Zymurgy. “Therefore, I need everyone to grow stronger. “Some of you have achieved the Daeclon Rank or the Xaeclon Rank while some are close to entering the Xaeclon Rank.” James paced around briefly and stopped before the group agai
Herodias and Yegor looked at James in shock. Everyone else’s expressions also changed drastically.Thea shook her head and reprimanded, “You’re drunk, James! How about we stop here for today?”Morgott stood up and exclaimed, “The Chaos Absinthe is fantastic! It can increase one’s Chaos Essence! Drinking more of it is good…um…”Before he could finish speaking, Thea kicked him.Seeing Morgott sprawled on the ground, the tense atmosphere instantly eased as everyone burst into laughter.Truett pointed at Morgott and laughed, “It’s a blessing to be hit by Thea.”“Right? Not only is she my buddy’s wife, but she’s also the Hokuwn’s ruler. She could trample on anyone she pleases.” Morgott patted his rear and stood up. He glanced at Thea, snatched the Chaos Absinthe on the table, and scooted to a corner.His petty behavior elicited laughter from everyone once more.James clenched his fist and said, “Alright, that’s enough. Let’s focus on the matter at hand. Before deciding whether to st
His words immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Faced with their hostile glares, Morgott shrugged and said indifferently, “Don’t get me wrong. I meant everyone here except James and Thea.”Hearing his provocative words, everyone except James and Thea stood up, eager to fight him.Truett retorted, “Damn it, you devil…”Morgott pointed at Truett and said, “You shouldn’t be angry. You don’t even understand how the Greater Realms are divided, so it’s ridiculous for you to be commenting on rules and regulations.”Everyone was furious at his words but was listening intently for an explanation.Morgott slowly got up from the ground and said solemnly, “From nothingness to From the nothingness comes the Wuia; from the Wuia emerged the Five Primal Evolutions. Thus, from nothingness to existence, death to life, stillness to movement. Ultimately, it came to forming the Xyloria Tai Chi and the Six Xyrisia Sacred Spirits.”“Then, Yin and Yang emerged from the Xyloria Tai Chi, heralding t
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
