When Thea came out of the tower, she didn’t see a huge monster. Instead, she saw a rather handsome middle-aged man.He sat in front of a rectangular table. He threw the luminous balls on the table into his mouth one after another. Then, he drank wine from a wine jar. He looked comfortable.At one end of the rectangular table, there was also the tower Thea used just now. It was shining.Upon seeing that, Thea was doubtful.“You’re quite powerful.” The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Half the strength of the Yin governor is comparable to an emperor’s strength.”“In my opinion, among the Five Path Emperors in the Forty-Ninth Heaven, apart from Lord Goyo and Xanthakos, you should rank third.”When Thea heard that, her face twitched. “What are you eating?”The middle-aged man who was about to throw the luminous ball into his mouth froze. Then, he threw it to Thea.Once Thea caught it, she found it heavy. She hurriedly used both hands to hold it.The luminous ball in her hands was
After all, these words spoke highly of James and gave Thea who was uneasy a different kind of comfort.However, she was still curious as to where Marius was from. How did he meet James? How did he know James so well?“Since you’re here, for James’ sake, I can’t let you go around the place blindly.” Marius stared at Thea. “As for Yiulia, she has no power. In the Forty-Ninth Heaven, there are Five Path Emperors, but only two of them hold real power.”“Lord Goyo and Xanthakos?” Thea blurted out.“Yeah!” Marius nodded. “If you want to save James, you must meet Xanthakos first as he carries the Gate of Mystery.“You must have heard what I said just now. Xanthakos is going to hold the Wuia Integration Gathering. Do you want to give it a try?”Upon hearing that, Thea shrugged. “Didn’t you make the person who sent the invitation leave?”As soon as she finished speaking, Marius waved his hand and a vivid screen appeared in the void.Inside, there was a handsome middle-aged man in a purp
Thea shrugged. “Since you don’t tell me how you met James, I feel suspicious.”Suddenly, Marius raised his head and laughed. Then, he waved his hand. An exquisite token appeared.Thea was taken aback. “What’s this?”“It’s the Wyrmscale Token.” Enunciating each word, Marius said, “With this token, you will be the master of the Wyrmscale Source. Everyone in the Forty-Ninth Heaven knows it.”Then, Marius waved his hand again. A ray of purple light entered Thea’s right arm.“Alright. Now, you’re the master of the Wyrmscale Source.” Leisurely, Marius said, “Whether you believe it or not, if you want to save James, this is the best way.”Upon hearing that, Thea took the token without hesitation. No matter how the situation developed, it couldn’t be worse than it was now.Seeing Thea’s actions, Marius waved his hand in the void. He grabbed a handsome young man wearing a purple robe.He was none other than Yule who was scolded by Marius but still stood at the entrance of the Wyrmscale
With a resounding crash, the solid black sword and the Helblaze Dragon quickly entangled, fiercely battling in the void. Their ferocious fight sent shockwaves rapidly spreading in all directions, causing the entire Gate of Mystery to shake violently. Cracks appeared on the formation walls.The massive Xaltor Palm swept in with terrifying force from among the millions of colorful lights on the periphery. It carried countless flames and Galeat Wind, as if mountains and seas were being overturned.The space within the Gate of Mystery began to tremble as the Xaltor Palm emerged. It was as if everything in its vicinity froze. The originally flowing Wuia Aura in the surroundings instantly solidified.The black sword and the Helblaze Dragon seemed to sense extreme danger and immediately disentangled. At that moment, the Xaltor Palm descended from the sky, forcefully enveloping both the black sword and the Helblaze Dragon. Boom!A series of continuous explosions erupted as the Xaltor Pa
Lesia, Yianni, and Morgott chose to confront the three incoming Sword Lights head-on.Clang!A sudden sound echoed as Yianni was the first to face the attack. He swung his longsword to meet the incoming Sword Light, but his sword shattered into two pieces upon contact. Accompanied by a buzzing roar, the Sword Light poised at Yianni’s neck. At such proximity, Yianni could feel the intense heat, sharpness, and gusts of wind emitted by the Sword Light. His pupils contracted in shock, and he stood there in a daze.On the other side, Morgott clashed with the Tyrant Spear against the Sword Light. The spearhead was sliced off, followed by the shaft being split in half. Just as the Sword Light was about to cleave his hand, Morgott shouted in panic, “James, I’m in the wrong—”The Sword Light abruptly stopped less than an inch from Morgott’s hand. However, it whistled forward and pressed firmly against his throat the next moment.“What kind of Supernatural Power is this?” Morgott was bewild
They wreaked havoc within the Gate of Mystery, causing a commotion that shook the world. However, it was Emperor Qadeer, who resided in the Forty-Ninth Heaven, who suffered. With each successive onslaught and sweep that befell the gate, he continued to cough up blood uncontrollably, although seated in lotus position. This left the emperors seated nearby bewildered.Youcef was seated in the first row on the left. He suddenly stood up. “Guys, there’s a matter concerning my dad. Let’s discuss our affairs later.”The emperors exchanged glances. Then, they stood up and exited the temple one by one.Only then did Youcef dart to the side of Emperor Qadeer, supporting him with a firm grip. “What’s wrong, Dad?”Cough! Another gush of blood spewed forth, and Emperor Qadeer’s face drained of color. He lifted his head with a look of regret. “I’ve been deceived into James’ vile trap.”Youcef frowned upon hearing this. “James Caden? What does he have to do with this?”Emperor Qadeer could not
Youcef stared intently at Emperor Qadeer expressionless. He was a proud, even arrogant martial fanatic, but that did not mean he was truly foolish. He understood better than anyone else just how ruthless and cunning his father could be. The sudden rage followed by a change of demeanor concealed many schemes and plots. It was thought-provoking.“Then go,” Emperor Qadeer said. “Not only will I allow you to go, but I’ll also have you take the Twelve God-Kings, the Eighteen Emperors, and a hundred thousand Marauder Army to bolster our prestige.”Upon hearing this, Youcef squinted his eyes and stayed silent. The Twelve God-Kings and the Eighteen Emperors were the top-tier powerhouses under his father’s command. Their combined might could dominate half the Greater Realms. It would be even more formidable if the hundred thousand Marauder Army joined. Yet, to deal with James alone within the Gate of Mystery, he wondered if such a grand display of force was necessary. He was curious about wha
Emperor Qadeer spoke slowly, “This time, I’m giving you all a chance to make a mark. I want you to enter the Gate of Mystery and eradicate the devils. There will be substantial rewards.”At these words, dozens of transcendent powerhouses simultaneously raised their heads, excitement, and eagerness evident on their faces. For them, entering the Gate of Mystery once was already a tremendous stroke of luck in their current cultivation journey. The crucial point was the opportunity to enter and exterminate the devils. This was a remarkable achievement indeed. This sudden stroke of fortune left them feeling honored and grateful. Each of them immediately bowed to Emperor Qadeer to express their gratitude.Seeing the attitude of these powerhouses, Emperor Qadeer slowly stood up. He spoke with an authoritative tone, “For this mission, you will follow the arrangements of the Young Master. However, it is imperative to ensure his safety. If he suffers even the slightest injury, heads will roll.
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
