James slowly raised his hand at that moment. “Mr. Wiktor, I am grateful for your advice, and I understand your concerns. “I know it’s just an excuse when you say you’re worried that I’ll fall for the trap. “What you and the others are really concerned about is that I may go down the wrong path, turn away from the teachings of the Path, and rebel against the governance of your master’s group. “The fact that me and the unorthodox sectsʼ and factionsʼ members may turn into demons is rather alarming as well.” Wiktorʼs eyes bulged with shock. He knew James would surely arrive at these conclusions with all the knowledge and experience the latter had. Yet, he never imagined James would just say it out loud. “I would have become a demon already if your concerns were valid.” James continued, “As for those guys from the unorthodox sects and factions, they have such horrendous appearances and strange beauty standards. “I like beautiful things, so I canʼt stand them. “Hence, I’d
On the other hand, a beam of Wama Divine Light shone on a spot inside the Great Historial Landʼs Forbidden Bloodshade, filling the space with colorful lights. “Ms. Taishi?” Theaʼs eyes flew open. Thea had been inside the Forbidden Bloodshade in a seated position. She seemed pleasantly surprised.“I hope I’m not intruding,” a voice echoed through the air. Thea quickly got up and bowed slightly. “Greetings to Ms. Silver!” “You’re the master of this place, whereas I’m here to seek protection.” Silver chuckled. “You don’t have to be so formal around me anymore.” Thea was slightly flustered as she straightened up and looked upward. Just as she was about to speak, a shiny energy ball shot out of the Wama Divine Lightʼs source and swiftly entered Theaʼs body. A tremendous amount of energy filled her body the next instant. Thea hurriedly sat down and focused on channeling the energy to enhance her cultivation. Gradually, the purplish-red light radiating from her body was repla
Thea responded, “I…” “I havenʼt had the chance to pass on my knowledge to someone until now.” Taishi explained, “I’ve finally done it now. Moreover, you are the very last Alcide being who’s still alive. I am truly honored.” Thea gripped her hand. “Still, your…” “Donʼt worry about me.” Taishi shook her head. “I possess the earliest form of Innate Energy. It is enough for my stay in the Great Historial Land. “It’s different for you, though. You need to go out and join the battle. You bear the responsibility of saving all beings and helping your husbandʼs mission. “Cultivation and powers were simply what I needed to keep improving myself. With James becoming the lord of all worlds soon, I will have no use for those things.” Taishi gently wiped off the tears streaming down Theaʼs cheeks. “You two were a pitiful couple who had suffered too much pain and hardship created by the Path. “Now, your cultivation surpasses that of Jamesʼ. Excluding the Five Path Emperors and the two
It was bustling and lively in and outside the Palace of Law at the Fortieth Heaven. All leaders and superior cultivators from different groups and temples based in and below the Fortieth Heaven could be seen there. However, Wesley, the Law of Paths, had left for the Forty-Ninth Heaven. The Palace of Law was supposed to be not in use. Yet, a mysterious group seemed to have appeared and taken over the palaceʼs ownership. The group claimed to have come from somewhere above the Forty-Ninth Heaven. They declared themselves to be the true Path. They represented the Path which was stronger and more authentic than the Waitara Path. These men even gave themselves a flashy name, the Ultimate Cosimeonar Path. Not only did they want to rule over everyone in and below the Fortieth Heaven, but they also requested everyone to follow the Ultimate Cosimeonar Path and train using their theory and methods. At first, the temples and factions that were targeted were opposed to this. Unfor
James chuckled inwardly. “It’s not my fault all these ladies are coming to me. Itʼs Morgottʼs fault.” Morgott snapped at him, “How can you push the blame on me? If you were to reveal your true appearance, all the ladies here would pounce on you! “You’ve always been a ladyʼs man, and you are responsible for this mess!” James clicked his tongue. “Why you…” “That’s enough.” Lesia cut them off. “You are both charming, attractive, and handsome, okay? We know that. So, none of us need to hear you two boasting about it.” James replied, “I’m charming, whereas he’s just alright.” “Damn it! I’m not doing this anymore! I’m outta here!” Morgott fumed, “We are friends, but you canʼt…” “Alright, that’s enough. Another one is here.” James stopped Morgottʼs grumbling. As he finished, a gorgeous lady in a white robe walked over and stopped before James nervously. The ladyʼs cheeks flushed pink. “Mister, is it alright if I sit beside you?” Before James could reject the lady, Morgott
Lesia reassured, “Don’t worry! Even if Thea shows up, she might not be able to recognize us.”‘She’s right. Even if Thea shows up, it’ll be impossible for her to see through our disguise. After all, we did deceive two Primal Spirits and the Five Path Emperors.’ James’ tensed heart was immediately relieved.Morgott gloated, “She’s coming! Walking straight toward us. James, your heart is beating so fast. You’re panicking, right?”James was startled as he felt the familiar figure slowly walking toward him.A mysterious goddess wore a snow-white robe and white veil, radiating with a charming aura. Her clothes fluttered, and his hair danced.As she squeezed into the crowd, the other women instantly looked mediocre.Even though she was covered with a white veil, her aura was exceptional and immediately mesmerized everyone present.Amid the commotion, the woman suddenly stopped. Then, she looked at Morgott and James meaningfully. Amidst the chatter and activity of all the living bein
Thea replied telepathically, “It’s a secret. James is attracting all these bees and butterflies to him. I’ll settle this account with him sooner or later.”While speaking, Thea stood up, snatched the teacup from Lesia’s hand, and splashed it on her face. “That’s not enough to fool me, bitch!”Soaked by the tea, Lesia instinctively took two steps backward in shock.The next moment, she immediately grasped the situation and laughed.“Don’t be so ungrateful, Yin governor! I didn’t think you would be brave enough to show up. Since you’re here, don’t think about escaping!”“Just you?” Thea snorted coldly and suddenly unleashed a colorful force at Lesia. James immediately grabbed Lesia and dodged away. Thea’s attack struck the position where Lesia was just seconds ago. A loud explosion ensued, causing the surroundings to shake violently.Witnessing such terrifying power, the group of onlookers were instantly thrown into an uproar, both horrified and excited.They were surprised th
The being had long, flowing hair, striking charm, and unbridled confidence. His presence stirred a commotion among those around him.“It appears we’ve encountered Zorion Darkwood, the mysterious young master of the Eastwind Temple from the Thirty-Ninth Heaven."“It’s him? Rumors are that he traversed the formidable Soma Daeclon Rank in three hundred entrapochs, becoming the second to reach the Daeclon Mahayana after the Wesley Shepherd.“I know about him. He’s always been a figure cloaked in mystery, seldomly seen below the Fortieth Heaven.”“He has been dubbed the anomaly of paths. How can such a young powerhouse exist below the Fortieth Heaven? The Forty-Ninth Heaven noticed and recruited him a long time ago.”“Then why has he returned to compete with us for the position of Supreme Path?”“Well, he is from the Fortieth Heaven. Hence, he has a rightful claim.”Amid the surrounding creatures’ chatter, Zorion turned his gaze towards Thea, offering a gentle smile.“You’re the fir
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
