Upon hearing that, before Hattie and Zachariah spoke up, the beautiful woman answered in agreement.When she was about to head toward the corpses, she turned around and looked at her two companions. “Hattie, Zachariah, are you going against the Path Emperor’s order?”Zachariah clicked his tongue and said coldly, “Of course not. But you should lead the way.”“That’s right.” Hattie said lazily, “You like the living beings’ souls the most. We’ll let you go first.”“Are you guys even men?” The beautiful woman was furious.“Alright.” Stavros sat with his legs crossed. “Yamila, just go.”The beautiful woman, Yamila Moreau, snorted angrily before walking toward the corpses alone.On the other hand, Hattie and Zachariah drank wine leisurely.Their actions were being watched by James and Thea who had hidden their auras in the void.Through Lesia’s introduction, they had learned about Stavros.It was just that when James saw his face, he found the latter familiar. He couldn’t explain i
Stavros turned around. At once, his eyes widened. He was shocked.“It’s the Jozo Sword of the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword. Darn it…”Then, his body flashed. He shot up to the sky with the Wama Light.With a loud explosion, the Gate of Wuia burst open. At once, the entire area shook. The ruins of the Palace of Law were struck with the fluctuations again. The Gate of Wuia was buried.On the ruins, Hattie and Zachariah immediately activated the holy light defense and shot up to the sky.“James, you’re seeking death.” Seeing that the Gate of Wuia was buried, Stavros was enraged. He slashed out in the void. Palms of the Wama Light filled the sky and attacked James.At this instant, a huge formation landed from the void. It trapped Stavros and the palms inside.Then, in the sky above the formation, there were gray clouds. The bells were ringing. Wama Lightning struck.From the ground, Wama Flame soared into the sky. The fierce Galeat Wind filled the sky, forming a powerful comprehensive
Emperor Stavros spewed a mouthful of blood as the last physical clone exploded. He was utterly shocked. Each of his thousand physical clones possessed the strength of the Soma Daeclon Rank. They had all been destroyed by a single strike from this mysterious woman. He was curious about this terrifying strength.“Something’s wrong.” Emperor Stavros pointed at Lesia. “You look familiar. I think I know you.”“Is that so?” Lesia sneered with her arm akimbo. “I’ll give you a chance to tell your nonsense.”“Y-You’re Frona Dhimer!” Emperor Stavros exclaimed in horror. “You’re one of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness, the God of Prophecy.”Lesia’s face remained charmingly coy as she smiled without replying.“Impossible!” Emperor Stavros immediately dismissed his guess. “James is just an insignificant living being. How could he possibly summon the God of Prophecy? This must be an illusion.”As he spoke, his body erupted with dazzling light. His wounds were instantly healed, and his pow
At the critical moment, a blue and a red phantom shadow rushed in from the void of the formation. They circled the two phantom hands holding Lesia’s Sword Light, spinning swiftly and breaking the hands with two sharp cracks.“Ah!” Emperor Stavros screamed. The phantom shadows enveloped Lesia and pulled her away into the air.“There’s no way of escape!” Emperor Stavros roared. He sent out countless phantom hands to seize the phantom shadows and Lesia’s Sword Light all at once. In an instant, the red phantom shadow transformed into a blazing fire lotus, consuming all the phantom hands. Simultaneously, the blue shadow turned into countless Galeat Wind and swept toward Emperor Stavros.Lesia finally caught her breath and broke free from the phantom hands. Then, she darted toward Emperor Stavros’ throat in Sword Light form.Facing a three-pronged attack, Emperor Stavros remained calm. He opened his mouth to swallow the Sword Light. In the next second, his thousand phantom hands converge
Amid the endless explosions, two figures simultaneously flew out and were separated by tens of thousands of light-years before steadying themselves. Staggering, Emperor Stavros was covered in blood. He looked at the massive bloody hole in his Ultimate Golden Body, his eyes shooting out intense rays of fury as he suddenly raised his head.On the other side, the figure revealed itself as James. His hair was disheveled, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Yet, he wore a fierce smile full of battle spirit.“You finally appeared,” Emperor Stavros said through gritted teeth. “James Caden, I didn’t expect you to become this strong.”“I don’t know either,” James replied with a smile and a shake of his head. “However, taking you down shouldn’t be a problem.”“You’re so arrogant!” Emperor Stavros immediately stood straight. “Do you think two clones and a second body could injure me? You underestimate the Forty-Ninth Heaven.”“No, you’re wrong.” James shrugged. “They weren’t my clo
Emperor Stavros moved as fast as lightning, attacking swiftly and deadly. Just as he was about to strike James, nine rapidly spinning transparent sacred lotuses appeared in front of him. A terrifying and mysterious energy erupted from them with a buzzing sound.Emperor Stavros was caught off guard. Immediately, he was assaulted by the rotating mysterious energy. With muffled thuds, his Ultimate Golden Body was quickly covered in numerous deep and bone-revealing wounds. “W-What are these?” he exclaimed in shock.Desperate, he launched an all-out attack with both hands against the nine transparent sacred lotuses surrounding James, but each collision sent him flying back. Realizing he could not break through the defensive formation of the sacred lotuses, Emperor Stavros retreated swiftly, only to be severely wounded again by forty-nine golden sacred lotuses that suddenly appeared behind him.In a state of shock, he noticed that there were eighty-one rapidly spinning jade lotuses form
Facing the siege, Emperor Stavros burst forth with a dazzling array of ten thousand radiant lights. He immediately engaged in rapid combat with the Forty-Nine Primordial Spirits Clones. They clashed powerfully.Each move, each sword and palm strike, was relentless, shaking the world. Despite his immense powers as the Daeclon Mahayana Rank Path Emperor, Emperor Stavros struggled to withstand the relentless assault of the Forty-Nine Primordial Spirits Clones.After countless rounds of battle, Emperor Stavros realized he was losing ground. So, he quickly summoned the Jyndor Cauldron. It rotated swiftly around him with a resonant hum. Boom! A terrifying explosion erupted, sending the clones flying away.“Hahaha!” Emperor Stavros laughed and roared, “James Caden, did you think I am made of clay...?”Before he could finish his sentence, a dark shadow flashed before him. A long spear moved with lightning speed and pierced through his Ultimate Golden Body at the chest. In that stunned mo
Seeing the sudden turn of events, Zachariah and Hattie stumbled in fright. They nearly fell out of the void. James calmly lifted his hand and tossed Emperor Stavros, bound by the Jozo Sword, to Thea’s feet.Then, he slowly spoke, “Alright, you can come out now.”A flash of purple-red light appeared on James’ body, revealing the soul consciousness of Morgott.“Y-You all!” Emperor Stavros glared at James and Morgott’s soul consciousness with a mix of grief and anger. “You rebellious devils, you will die like a dog!”“James, he’s cursing us.” Morgott’s soul consciousness grabbed Emperor Stavros. “Let me cut out his tongue first.”“How dare you? You insane devil, you...” Emperor Stavros was sent flying with a punch by James before he could finish his words.“After all, he’s one of the Five Path Emperors. Killing him would be a waste,” James said. Then, he turned to Thea. “Darling, I’ll leave him to you. Please absorb his cultivation base, so I can feel more at ease.”Hearing this, 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
