In the blink of an eye, Biefren unfurled his hands and soared into the sky. His hands morphed into colossal golden wings, beating against the air with force.A fierce gust of wind ensued, carrying a barrage of golden feathered arrows, tearing through the stronghold with a ferocious hurricane. The once sturdy defenses crumbled as if struck by a mighty force of nature. The ground quaked, and protective enchantments shattered like glass, releasing a cascade of divine artifacts into the air, a spectacle of impending calamity.“You must have a death wish!” From the heart of the storm, a figure charged forth with lightning speed. At the same time, the spread in the ground withdrew with a resounding buzz.Boom! Boom! Boom!An explosive shockwave erupted as the spear pierced through the void. The ground ruptured, forming gaping chasms that threatened to swallow all in their wake. But without so much as a glance, James effortlessly sealed the chasms, gently tapping his foot to the ground. The m
As his words trailed off, a few more explosions emanated from the collapsed stronghold. It was a sound so uniform and terrifying that it would send shivers down people’s spines.Even Biefren, hovering in the void, swiftly returned to James’ side out of caution. “What’s that sound, James? Before James could answer, the gravely wounded old man exclaimed, “That’s the Divine Army! They’re more dreadful than Xanthakos’ Marauder Army. If they breach the stronghold, it will spell disaster for the Wyrmscale Source.Biefren’s expression darkened upon hearing his explanation. However, James remained seated, unperturbed.As the thunderous rumble grew louder, a dark mass resembling a raging sea appeared in the distance. The Divine Army had shown up.They marched in four square formations, roughly 10,000 in number. Though their numbers were not impressive, their murderous intent truly chilled the air.After halting a light year away, a graceful and beautiful figure emerged from the formation and d
Biefren let out a soft hum.James took a deep breath and said, “That’s unusual. Whether your intentions are sincere or not, I appreciate your gesture. I’ll allow you to withdraw unscathed.Zaila’s expression darkened at James’ words. She replied coldly, “You’re very arrogant, James. Your stubbornness seems to know no bounds!”James shrugged and sneered, “Look at that. It didn’t take too much for your real attitude to come out. The intelligence of divine beings isn’t quite up to par with us mortals. “How dare you!” Zaila roared, brandishing her longsword. Behind her, the 10,000 soldiers of the Divine Army, arranged in four formations, marched forward with thunderous steps, their hostility palpable.Biefren furrowed his brow and asked, “Shall I break them up?”James waved his hand and answered, “No. It’s a fair fight between two armies. We don’t have the upper hand, but we can’t lose to their aura!”With the wave of a hand, a purple-gold beam shot up and instantly spread througho
The fierce battle raged, causing tremors to spread throughout the Celestial Realm.The Wrymscale Army’s troops had been empowered by James’ Annonymous Gas and fought with great strength. The Divine Army, famed to be stronger than the Marauder Army, was overwhelmed by its opponents.Watching the Divine Army fall in droves to the power of their foes, Zaila was stunned. She never imagined the supposedly inferior Wyrmscale Source to wield such terrifying strength.The man standing beside Zaila advised, “Order them to retreat. At this rate, the Divine Army will be wiped out.”Zaila scoffed, “They can dream if they think the Divine Army will fall so easily!”She thrust her sword forward, and a blinding light instantly engulfed the battlefield. At that moment, her fallen soldiers were resurrected. They became even fiercer and more bloodthirsty than before, quickly turning the tide of the battle in a short period.Marius, who was confident about winning the battle moments ago, frowned. “
While groaning, Zaila and the military advisor fell at James’ feet. They spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the longsword used by Zaila to control the Divine Army fell to the ground and was grabbed by James.Looking at the dazzling longsword in his hand, James smiled evilly. “Febby, you finally did something good.”Upon hearing that, Marius who was in the void frowned. Then, he burst into laughter.Zaila, who was slumped on the ground, stared at James with hatred. “You’re the Chosen One, yet you insist on going against the Path and doing evil. You will die without a burial place and face endless tribulations.”James wasn’t enraged. He played with the longsword in his hand and said, “You keep saying I went against the Path. The Path you believe in is just a tyrant. If you follow it, you will prosper. If you don’t, you will perish.”Upon hearing that, Zaila became furious. “I’m an Xanadu Alcide being. I’m a heavenly and noble being. A living being like you can’t control
Dorvus was stunned. He hurriedly bowed at James.“Commander, you know best about the situation of the Marauder Army of One Hundred Thousand Warriors. In terms of combat power and strength, it’s indeed not comparable to the powerhouses from the Wyrmscale Source…”“Don’t make excuses!” Marius said coldly, “Since you respect the Wyrmscale Saint, you should obey his orders. Otherwise, it will mean you have ulterior motives.”When Dorvus heard that, his face flushed with anger. Although he was reluctant, the current situation didn’t allow him to play any tricks. Otherwise, he would lose his life.After thinking clearly about it, he lifted the ax on his shoulder that Marius placed and shouted, “I will do as you say. The Marauder Army of One Hundred Thousand Warriors isn’t worse than your powerhouses.” Then, he took out a token and waved it. “Marauder Army, listen up. We will launch an attack from the front, center and back.”After that, the one hundred thousand warriors immediately form
With a snort, Xanthakos said, “Do they need to report the siege? It was originally a siege anyway.“But I don’t care whether they are on the middle or west route. What I care about now is the Wyrmscale Source. I want to know if James and the others have started a war against the Goyo Daonus Realm.”Suddenly, Quillan raised his head. He wanted to say something but couldn’t say it.“What about you?” Xanthakos turned to glare at Quintus and Quentyn. “Is there any news about James? It’s related to our overall situation.”Quintus quickly returned to his senses. “Emperor Qadeer, I will look into it now.” Then, he ran away.When Quentyn saw that, he cursed in his heart. He was left behind.“Mr. Quentyn.” Xanthakos approached Quentyn. “Since we met James, we rarely had a chat.”Quentyn sighed. “Xanthakos, if you start a huge battle in the Forty-Ninth Heaven, do you know how many lives will be destroyed?”Xanthakos was stunned. Then, he burst into laughter. Quentyn frowned. “Lives wil
On James’ end, as the Marauder Army of One Hundred Thousand Warriors led by Dorvus launched an attack, the first line of defense at the southern part of the Goyo Daonus Realm was completely breached.Then, they separated into several groups with eighty thousand powerhouses from the Wyrmscale Source. They were overwhelming. After breaking through more than a dozen lines of defense, they finally arrived at Terythor Universe which was the largest universe in the south part of the Goyo Daonus Realm.The Marauder Army of One Hundred Thousand Warriors was indeed a powerful weapon. The army was so terrifying that Dorvus could be regarded as one of Xanthakos’ powerful generals.However, Dorvus was ruthless. Wherever he went, there would be flesh and blood everywhere. Whether they were men, women, children or surrendered warriors, he would kill them all without mercy.As for the cultivation resources, he would plunder them as much as he could. Everything that couldn’t be taken away would be
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
