A faint smile played across James’ lips. “Are you saying that I should kill them by using the Historial Helmnor Formation?” “Yeap!” Lesia chuckled. “That method is way more interesting. We can also check out how the formation works.” Just as James was about to command the Marauder Warriors, Youcef opened his mouth. “James…” Everyone turned their eyes to Youcef upon hearing his voice. Youcef lowered his head as he was flustered by the amount of attention he was receiving. He said in a small voice, “I know Iʼm pretty much your captive now and I have no right to ask you this. However…” “Go on,” James said. Youcef paused and raised his head. “James, I am their leader. I’ll take full responsibility for what’s happened today. Please spare those men.” Jamesʼ eyes narrowed. “Have you lost your mind?” Lesia ranted, “You’ve seen what happened earlier! Do you think you can control these people? “Even your master, whom you respect so much, doesnʼt want to listen to you. You a
Boom! The sounds of an explosion and people screaming came from outside the Nothingness Formation. Bright lights shone across the space. Without needing to check, the sounds must have been caused by the attacks generated by the Marauder Warriors to kill Dorvus and his comrades. Youcef was alarmed by the sight. “James, I beg of you…” James waved his hand and signaled him to stop. “Youcef, I admire your spirit and bravery. However, what you are offering is not enough.” He met Youcef’s eyes. “Besides, the person who I want to strike a deal with is not you but your father.” Youcef was momentarily stunned upon hearing those words. He slumped to his knees. Youcef had a sudden realization. People called him a Chosen One, the Qadeer Templeʼs young master, or the number one genius in all of Forty-Ninth Heaven and across all realms. Yet, all of that seemed like a joke ever since James made an appearance. Youcef lost half of the pride and arrogance he had in him after the battle w
“Master, it would be lovely if you could share some of your precious liquor collection with us.” James grinned. “It won’t be as entertaining if I can’t enjoy the show with some liquor.” Yianni glanced over his shoulder at James and smiled wryly. Then, he lifted his hand and conjured dozens of bottles of Chaos Absinthe on the table. Lesia and Morgott exchanged a glance. Then, each of them strode forward and stopped on either side next to James. “This is it, James?” Morgott pouted. “Arenʼt you going too easy on these hypocrites?” “This is just the beginning.” James gulped the Chaos Absinthe. “With their level of powers, they can stay in the Historial Helmnor Formation for a few entrapochs and be just fine.” Lesia frowned. “You should just do it now if you want to get rid of those men for good, Master. It won’t do us any good to drag it out for that long.” James beamed at her. “Are you worried that the soul contract between me and Xanthakos will expire during that time?
James sneered, “I need a favor from you. If you get it done, I promise to fight you with all my strength and show no mercy after we leave the Gate of Mystery.Youcef’s eyes lit up with expectation, but his face darkened in the next second. “With my current strength, am I even worthy of being your opponent?”James squinted and asked, “Yes or no?”Under his sharp gaze, Youcef felt pressured.Yianni sighed and said, “James rose from nothing to someone who can dominate the Greater Realms and suppress countless powerhouses. You were born in the Forty-Ninth Heaven and have access to abundant resources. Do you have no confidence?“If so, I truly pity James for having an opponent like you.”Hearing Yianni’s words, Youcef slowly clenched his fists and regained his fighting spirit. He stared at James and asked, “What do you want from me?”James answered, “I’ll send you out of the Gate of Mystery, but I need you to deliver a letter to your father.”After speaking, a shining scroll appeare
Youcef came to a sudden realization. Considering his father’s cruelty, it was likely Hankin, who had failed to complete his task, would face a grim fate.However, Hankin stood a chance of survival if he stayed in the Gate of Mystery with James. He abruptly kowtowed and climbed back to his feet.James unleashed a Sword Light toward Youcef without hesitation, instantly sending Youcef out of the Gate of Mystery.Lesia, Morgott, and Yianni then turned toward James, their eyes reflecting admiration and respect.While they never questioned James’ strength and wisdom, his generosity and tolerance for others truly impressed and humbled them.At that moment, James waved his hand. The two black dragons entangling Hakins drew him into the Nothingness Formation.With a loud thud, Hankin crashed onto the massive lotus. As the black dragons soared into the void with roars, he gasped for air and scoffed bitterly. “Congratulations, James. You’ve grown strong enough to dominate the Greater Realms
Hankin, Lesia, and James exchanged glances before cautiously stepping forward.Lesia questioned, “Will you die as a slave of the Qadeer Sect or as Emperor Benevolence of the Greater Realms?”Hankin’s face darkened as he asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re the Soremsia of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness’ leader, Frona, correct?Intrigued, Lesia put her hands behind her back and replied, “You can call me Lesia. Am I also considered a demon to you?”Hankin was at a loss for words, and his face twitched with embarrassment. At that moment, he caught a glimpse of James calmly sitting down while enjoying some Chaos Absinthe and instantly felt a shiver down his spine. James was clearly in charge of the current situation. However, he remained silent and allowed a subordinate to humiliate Hankin and change his mind about dying.Hankin recognized that James was an extraordinary entity, excelling in cultivation, strength, wisdom, and strategies. If he were devoted to cultivation, he w
Hankin had personally witnessed what Goyo and Qadeer had done in the past. It was very clear to him what they were both fighting for.However, he had no choice but to submit to them. Lesia’s words had hurt his pride, and his deep-seated ambitions gradually burst out. Lesia looked at him and said, “You’re Emperor Benevolence, one of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness. In terms of status, you’re only second to the Waitara Path.“Yet now, you’re a mere follower of the Waitara Path, and even for this adherent, you’re prepared to sacrifice your life out of loyalty. How dare you pass judgment on whether James’ character?”As if his true nature had been laid bare, Hankin quivered all over, his complexion draining of color. At that moment, his former arrogance had completely vanished."I understand," Lesia remarked, pacing around Hankin with a smile. "You're struggling amidst the intrigues and power struggles of the Haleth Realm. You gradually lost your way and seek oblivion as an esc
Hankin bellowed, “No, I never forgot! I just didn’t want to witness any more suffering, bloodbaths, and catastrophes!”Lesia snorted, “You’re finally being honest.” After the remark, she turned to James and said, “It’s your turn, Master!”James looked at Hankin, who had a pained expression, then carefully placed his wine jar down. “You already scolded him to tears, so forget it. However, if he knew the Greater Realms’ living beings were protected by Spiritual Providence, he might not be so stubborn.”Before Lesia could respond, Hankin abruptly turned to James and asked, “What did you say? Spiritual Providence? The Greater Realms’ living beings have produced Spiritual Providence?”Lesia rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah. Do you think my master would be really that heartless? He wouldn’t just subject the Greater Realms’ living beings to suffering while he challenges Zymurgy’s supreme beings.”Hankin leaped to his feet and stared at James with excitement. “So, even if you’re fighting
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
