After coming to an agreement, they withdrew from the Zen battlefield.Marcus and Mical, who were sitting cross-legged in reality, vomited a large mouthful of blood, and countless wounds suddenly broke out all over their bodies. Blood flowed down their bodies, which was extremely terrifying.Thea, who withdrew from the battlefield, grew even more radiant. Not only was she not injured, but her strength increased.“What a surprise.” After a while, Marcus slowly stood up. Mical raised her hand, and a strange light enveloped the whole room. Then, she said, “Long story short, you and your husband are now the rulers of the Greater Realm’s living beings. But simultaneously, you’ve become a thorn in the eyes of those in the Forty-Ninth Heaven.”“Honestly, although Yehria freed us, more powerful figures are aiding her. These individuals hold higher status and greater power than Yehria.Thea shrugged, “Just admit it’s Qadeer, one of the Path Emperors.”Marcus corrected, “No, it’s more than
Marcus and Mical followed after her. They gaze at the clouds in the sky in surprise.“It’s clear the trap laid out here has been triggered. You’ll be doomed if you stay.”Mical looked at Thea anxiously and said, “As long as you survive, there will always be another chance. Come with us. We have a secret passage that can lead to the Forty-Ninth Heaven. Once we reach the Wuia Forbidden Land, nobody can touch us.”Marcus added urgently, “She’s right. Your husband is the first of the Greater Realms to have integrated the Three Treasures. He is immortal and can’t die. They can’t…”Thea interrupted without turning to face them, “It’s too late. I won’t be able to escape, and you two will also be sacrificed.”As she spoke, she transformed into a brilliant sword of colorful light and shot into the sky.Boom!With a sudden loud noise, the colorful Sword Light manifested by Thea collided with the “Path” word descending from the void. A powerful shockwave spread rapidly, scattering the brigh
Youcef declared, “Whoever dares intervene with our fight will be my mortal enemy. It doesn’t matter who they are!”Seeing Youcef’s determination, Thea took a deep breath.Just as she was about to speak, a stunning figure appeared in the void, accompanied by a flash of multi-colored divine lights.“Aren’t you being too naive, Youcef?”“She is no longer the Yin governor that came into existence from Xyloria Aura, but a demon colluding with the orthodox sects to bring disaster upon Zymurgy!”The figure transformed into a lightsaber and darted at Thea.However, before the lightsaber could get close, Youcef intercepted and caught it between his fingers.The figure shouted, “Are you courting death, Youcef? The plan is to eradicate the demon! Everyone from the Forty-Ninth Heaven agreed to it. Even though you’re Emperor Qadeer’s son, you can’t just defy it!”Youcef responded coldly, “I just said she’s James’ wife! Anybody who touches her and disrupts our battle agreement will have to f
Thea opened her eyes and replied icily, “He tried to kill me first.”Youcef parted his lips, but words failed him.At that moment, an ethereal female voice resonated from the void.“The ruler of Hokuwn indeed possesses remarkable strength. It appears that you’re beyond saving.”Youcef shouted anxiously, “It’s Emperess Hyacinth! Quick, take refuge inside my bracelet…”Unfortunately, it was already too late.In a burst of iridescence above his head, a figure garbed in a crimson robe materialized, emanating a fragrant aura.She exuded an orchid-like grace with delicate features, a voluptuous figure, and breathtaking allure.Her body exuded an enchanting fragrance, and her every move was elegant.“Long time no see, beautiful.” Hyacinth descended, flicked her sleeves, and laughed.Thea looked at the woman with interest and said, “I never imagined a lowly woman like you would actually become an empress. Truly, the Forty-Ninth Heaven conceals their filth pretty well.”Hyacinth laugh
As Thea’s voice faded, her powers within the purple-red lotus merged and intensified, causing it to spin rapidly. Her Marcisias Power and Taishi Power condensed within the lotus merged, giving rise to numerous vibrant, brand-new holy light energy balls. The energy balls descended precisely onto blooming lotuses. Upon contact, they burst out with dazzling lights and cracked open to reveal thumb-sized infants that resembled Thea. Though their eyes remained shut, they were bathed by the lotus’ energy and developed within a divine light.Hyacinth immediately caught on and exclaimed, “Primordial Spirit Nurturing! We can’t let her succeed, or else her power will surpass the Three Treasures. It’d be impossible to defeat this demoness by then!”She unleashed a torrent of colorful divine lights, transforming them into dense lightsabers hurtling toward Thea. Other emperors swiftly followed suit, unleashing their most potent skills in a concerted assault.Countless phantom palms, lightsab
“Are you satisfied with this speed, James?” asked Morgott.“It’s not bad,” Morgott spoke again, this time with James’ voice.Hyacinth widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.“You…you’re a fusion of Morgott and James? You two demons actually…”Before she could finish, a sharp pain coursed through her body. Looking down, she saw a gaping wound in her Ultimate Golden Body.A second later, a tragic scream erupted from behind her, and an emperor whose body was pierced exploded.Consecutively, several more emperors twisted in pain and exploded one after another. The Fortieth Heaven had blood raining down from the skies and body parts scattering everywhere. The emperors’ souls were left without a vessel and could only flee in panic.The Hyacinth witnessed the gruesome scenes unfold before her eyes. She was terrified beyond words as she looked at Morgott.‘Didn’t they say one would become invincible and could dominate the Greater Realms after reaching the Daeclon Mahayana? What the hel
James stood outside the air wall and smiled warmly at Thea despite her silence.With a raise of his hand, a vast Innate Energy surged into Thea’s collapsing barrier, instantly restoring it to its original state.James then shook his body, separating from Morgott and returning to his physical body.Morgott asked hurriedly, ‘What do you mean, James? Weren’t we merged pretty well? It’s perfect for us to fight to our heart’s content. Why separate now?”James interrupted irritably, “Shut up. You talk too much. It’s annoying to stay merged with you.”Morgott laughed awkwardly, “You don’t want to be exposed, right? I can act as your cover-up!”James snorted, ignoring Morgott’s remarks.He wanted to avoid exposing himself because the opponents had not taken action. Now that powerhouses from the Forty-Ninth Heaven had been sent, it was clear they already saw through him.It would be rather foolish to continue the act since there was no need to conceal anything.Moreover, the trap in th
The success of their plan hinged on the outcome of the upcoming battle. James meticulously allocated all available resources in preparation.After a brief pause, Morgott let out a sigh. “I’ll do it. However, I also have a condition.”“Go on.” James nodded.Morgott proposed, “Let’s avoid fighting to death. Our main goal shouldn’t be to kill the Path Emperors. It should be finding an opportunity to ensure our safety and escape.James chuckled.Irritated, Morgott asked, “What’s so funny?”“It’s just unexpected. To see the once ruthless demon showing strategic acumen is quite amusing,” James replied, his tone reflecting surprise.Morgott, clearly displeased, retorted, “Our strength is already insufficient, to begin with. Engaging in futile battles would only be a humiliation for ourselves. You’ve already integrated the Three Treasures. Given time, you’ll grow stronger after integrating the Five Spirits as well. It wouldn’t be too late to take revenge by then.“Time is on your side
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
