James was consumed by a flurry of activity in the following years.First, he boldly decided to abolish his allies’ cultivation base and sent them into the three towers to be reborn through Nirvana.Next, he supported Yegor in establishing an extensive intelligence network that spanned the Greater Realms, even infiltrating the most remote corners of mortal planets. Their primary objective was to identify and monitor individuals with exceptional talents without directly interfering with their destinies. All gathered intelligence was meticulously cataloged at Skynet’s headquarters and kept as an essential database.This strategic initiative was important to James’ plan to quickly assemble an elite team. After all, his opponent was the entire Zymurgy.Subsequently, he orchestrated the relocation of the two prominent holy temples led by Zeux and Beatrice to the Great Historial Land. The Zazen, Shadow Yarrowvale, and Xephyr Temple were also migrated alongside. Ultimately, they collective
After a moment, James suddenly slapped his forehead and chuckled. “Stephen, Leuko, thank you.”Stephen chuckled. “We owe our lives to you, Master. We’re family. You don’t need to be so polite with us.”Leuko, standing aside, rolled his eyes and inquired, “Has Ms. Thea forgiven you yet, James?”James furrowed his brow, glanced back at Thea in the Forbidden Bloodshade, then shook his head with a rueful smile.Stephen looked at James and said, “We’re aware of what happened. If needed, we could revive Lyla—”James waved his hand to cut him off and sighed softly. “Let’s discuss this later. Don’t bring it up in front of my wife.”Stephen and Leuko exchanged glances, then nodded simultaneously.James frowned and said carefully, “I must make a trip to Zymurgy. We’re in the dark about the Fortieth Heaven. I should investigate a little and see if I can cultivate the Five Spirits.“As for my wife and children, I’ll entrust them to you for now. In the Great Historial Land, you’re invincible
In the Forty-Seventh Realm of Zymurgy, amidst the vibrant hues of a grand temple, enveloped in sacred light. Two flashes of light emerged, and a man and woman appeared.The man possessed a striking handsomeness, yet his messy hair and the ominous purple-red aura swirling around him hinted at a darker nature.His companion, draped in a flowing black robe and a veil of mystery, exuded elegance. Her long hair cascaded down, and her every movement held a captivating allure.It was none other than Morgott and Yehria who thought they had escaped from James.Since their escape to Zymuegy, they had disguised themselves and concealed their auras. With Yehria’s guidance, Morgott lifted 70 seals and fused them with his fragmented spirits. His Demonic Body had been cultivated to near perfection, and he had regained about eighty percent of his prime.Though they could not navigate Zymurgy with ease, their ambition remained unsatisfied.Standing together, they gazed upon the imposing plaque in
Morgott swiftly turned around and fixed his gaze toward Yehria's direction. Behind him was a pile of rubble, yet Yehria was nowhere to be found.Morgott called out, “Are you still alive, Yehria?” The demolished ruin trembled, and a figure emerged.Yehria coughed up blood, her hair unkempt, her complexion ashen, and her body cloaked in thick soil. Upon witnessing Yehria's disheveled appearance, Morgott erupted into laughter.Yehria brushed off the debris, and a swirl of black and white light enveloped her. She instantly restored her to a lady-like appearance.At that moment, she frantically scanned her surroundings, her expression a mix of anxiety and fury, before letting out a piercing scream.“Where is my innate Xyloria Tai Chi Axe? Did you pick it up?”Morgott frowned and shook his head. “I don’t have it. Why would I want it?”Yehria immediately appeared beside Morgott and stared at the Taishi Grand Temple in horror.“Could Taishi have taken it?” Morgott stared at the Tais
After a while, James bowed three times in a row. Just as he was about to take action, the temple’s door swung open.A multicolored divine light emerged from within the Taishi Grand Temple.Observing the unfolding spectacle, the handsome young man stood dumbfounded for a moment before ascending the staircase leading up to the temple. Each stride was deliberate until he reached the open temple door. With ease, he stepped inside, vanishing into the vibrant hues of divine light.A flash of colorful radiance engulfed the temple entrance, and the door was sealed shut, reverting to its original state.Only then did Morgott and Yehria cautiously emerge from their concealment among the ruins. They gazed at the Taishi Grand Temple with bewilderment.After a moment, Yehria asked angrily, “How did that brat waltz in so effortlessly?”Morgott’s eyes sparkled with admiration as he chuckled, “That’s James for you. Even Taishi has to show deference and open the doors for him.”Yehria shot him a
Upon entering Taishi Grand Temple, he anticipated encountering a magnificent sight, a towering statue, or even Silver in person. However, what greeted him was far more dull than his expectations.“Your name is James Caden, right?” Suddenly, amidst the vibrant divine glow, an ethereal voice resonated. It sounded sacred and exquisite, capable of cleansing the mind of impure thoughts.James jolted, swiftly scanning his surroundings before replying, “Yes. That’s me! It’s an honor to be in your presence, Ms. Silver.”“You’re the Chosen One, a disciple of Emperor Yarden, who integrated the Three Treasures and is also the ruler over the Greater Realms. Despite your achievements, you remain remarkably humble. You’re much better in every aspect than those two unsightly beings outside.”James bowed respectfully at her praises. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted. “You need not say a word. Wesley has already come to see me and conveyed everything.”James lifted his head abrupt
James was taken aback. He looked in the direction and saw that a familiar yet strange figure appeared in every Wama Energy Ball.Some were killed before, some were subjugated later, and some were still alive but James had never met them.What shocked James the most was that Henry, Quattro, Yemima, Wyot, Maxine, Morgott, and the senior authorities of the Jademora Empire were among them.“Uh…” James’ face twitched. “What tribulation is this?”“It’s the Cholera Tribulation,” Silver said in Kalon’s voice, “It’s strange, right?”James took a deep breath. “I can accept the rest, but my friends…”“An unexpected tribulation is a true tribulation,” said Silver, enunciating each word.When he heard that, James looked like he had been struck by lightning. He stood in the light, stunned. He had already arranged everything, including his friends’ paths and cultivation improvement. Could something else happen that would turn his friends against him?“The third tribulation is the Solemnity Tr
Slowly, James closed his eyes and entered a wandering state.In this state, he seemed to be the wandering Xurraeus. At once, he gained insight into the entire Zymurgy. Then, behind Zymurgy, a huge illusionary gas appeared.The gas couldn’t be seen with the naked eye. It was formless, but James could sense the magnificent and mysterious power in it.Suddenly, James sensed a figure walk out of the formless gas. The figure gradually became clear.It was a quaint elder with a strong build and red hair. As his appearance became clear, James was stunned.It was Yarden.“I didn’t expect you to end up here,” Yarden suddenly said, “How odd.”“Aren’t you already dead?” James asked, “Even your last soul consciousness was destroyed because you gave me the inheritance. You also left two towers behind.”Yarden smiled before turning around. In the formless gas, a familiar and beautiful figure walked out. As she stepped into the void and got closer, James was stunned. He was extremely shocked.
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
