At that, Marius and Harper exchanged glances.James had already said what needed to be said. They understood everything, but they were still shocked. Xanthakos didn’t hesitate to start a war in the Forty-Ninth Heaven just to hold Goyo and James back. He wanted to buy time for his plan.Once he seized Wuia Temple and Path Designation Bead, Goyo and James would no longer be his opponent. However, were Wuia Temple and the Path Designation Bead so easy to seize?After pondering for a while, Harper pursed her lips and looked at James. “Can we summon Frona, Morgott and the others now?”“Now?” James frowned.“The Marauder Army of One Hundred Thousand Warriors suffered considerable losses during the battle this time,” Harper said, “If we summon them now, Dorvus won’t notice anything.”James took a deep breath and said, “There’s no need for that. You, Febby and Hankin are enough.”“That’s not what I’m talking about.” Harper approached James. “Do you really want to satisfy Xanthakos and l
In the Havenshine Nebula of the Terythor Universe, there was a huge Golden Body that spanned tens of thousands of star clusters and occupied almost more than half of the nebula.In the remaining half of the nebula, the star clusters rotated around the Golden Body slowly. The light drawn out was dazzling.Above the Golden Body was a shining planet rotating rapidly. In the center of it, a man with white hair and a young appearance was sitting with his legs crossed.He shone brightly. It was as though the nebula and the entire Terythor Universe were illuminated by his light.He was none other than Xerach Donnelly, the Blazing War Saint, who was the head of the seven war saints under Goyo.At the same time, he was the commander guarding the southern part of the Goyo Daonus Realm.Regarding the dozens of defensive barriers at the southern part being breached and all the universes except the Terythor Universe being seized, Xerach wasn’t panicked at all. It was as though he had everythi
This time, the three Emperors finally obeyed and left one after another. Nevertheless, they stayed in mid-air. It was as though they would take action at any time if Harper stepped out of line.“What a bunch of idiots!” Xerach waved his hand. Two golden lights shot out, knocking the three Emperors away.It was only then that Harper withdrew her shield and approached Xerach with a smile. Xerach pointed behind Harper and a chair appeared. Then, he made a gesture signaling her to have a seat.“As expected of you. You’re polite.” Harper smiled and sat down.“We shouldn’t fight. What are you here for?” Xerach looked at Harper with a smile. “I have something to say first. If you want to persuade him to surrender, please don’t speak.”Harper asked with a cunning smile, “Do you know that your current situation isn’t great?”Xerach sighed and said, “Why does James not want to be the Chosen One obediently? Why must he do evil? We know each other well, so why don’t you try to persuade him?”
Xerach wasn’t afraid at all. He still played with his sleeves with a smile.“Harper, this is a competition between the top powerhouses. It isn’t a battle between you and me. You take James as your leader while I take Lord Goyo as my leader. They are both leaders. The overall situation should be the most important thing.”Harper clicked her tongue. She stretched out his hand and stroked the body of the longsword. “Why are you afraid? I’m just giving you the token.”Then, a jade pendant appeared on the tip of the sword. She gave it to Xerach. Heaving a sigh of relief, Xerach took it. After inspecting it, he sighed. “As expected of James. He’s worthy of being the lord of all living beings. He’s really smart. It’s ridiculous that Xanthakos claims to be the smartest when he’s the most stupid and ridiculous man.”After that, Xerach put away the jade pendant and looked at Harper again.“Do you want to wait here for the news or do you want to go back and I’ll send someone to contact you
“Only the three million Divine Army and the one hundred thousand Alcide powerhouses can battle against the Marauder Army of One Hundred Thousand Warriors and the eight million Wyrmscale Source powerhouses.” The Supreme War Saint squinted his eyes and then revealed a strange smile. “If you all follow my orders, I guarantee that you will achieve great merit here. Then, ascending to the rank of Holiness or path kings won’t be impossible.”Upon hearing this, Lazaro and the other two emperors’ eyes sparkled with excitement.Suddenly, the Supreme War Saint turned around and reached out his hand. A terrifying black Dead Energy enveloped the three emperors simultaneously. In an instant, the three emperors erupted into hysterical screams of pain, their bodies twisting grotesquely.“Surrender.” The Supreme War Saint laughed eerily. “Following Lord Goyo leads only to death. Only by surrendering to Emperor Qadeer can you have a real future and truly obtain what you desire in the next Deificatio
On the other side, James and the Divine Marius patrolled the occupied area in the southern part of Lord Goyo’s Daonus Realm. Everywhere they went, they found only broken walls and ruins, a wasteland devoid of any living beings. The vast multiverse was silent and lifeless, casting an eerie sense of horror over the scene.Along the way, James collected every wandering spirit they encountered, not missing a single one. Unconsciously, his soul space became full. So, he could only open the Gate of Anonymous to provide these pitiful spirits with a place to stay.This unintentional act of kindness allowed countless spirits to be reborn, and their physical bodies regrew. As more and more spirits were reborn, the originally small Gate of Anonymous began to expand.James was shocked to discover that the gate was now much larger than Emperor Qadeer’s Gate of Mystery and the Gate of Perception he had encountered before. It had grown to half the size of Daonus Realm of the Forty-Ninth Heaven and
On the battlefield, the Wyrmscale Source relied entirely on the Seven Great Living Beings and Emperor Yevgen, who led the charge to stabilize the situation. Despite being at a severe disadvantage in terms of manpower, they managed to hold their ground. This was a rare feat.“Damn it!” the Divine Marius growled in anger. Just as he was about to make a move, James suddenly spread his arms. In an instant, a vast and boundless Anonymous Gas erupted from his body, enveloping the battlefield for millions of light-years.Immediately, fierce winds howled, and black-and-white energies swept across the area. All weapons on the battlefield, including those in the hands of both sides, were drawn into the void. Faced with this sudden scene, both sides ceased their attacks and stared upward in shock.The weapons suspended in the void began to spin rapidly under a terrifying force, forming a massive weapon formation that covered the entire battlefield, emitting a buzzing sound. At that moment, a s
Whoosh! A piercing sound of breaking wind rang out as James’ manifested light sword pierced through the body of Emperor Xianelle, creating a terrifyingly large blood hole.In an instant, Emperor Xianelle’s crazed assault came to a halt as her body trembled. She glanced at the gaping wound, then looked up with a sinister smile. Her body enveloped in a strange, black Dead Energy, which vanished in a flash. The wound disappeared, replaced by an even more ferocious and savage expression as she turned to attack the light sword again.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Amidst a series of consecutive breaking winds, James’ manifested light sword continued to pierce Emperor Xianelle’s body, gradually reducing her to a skeleton. Yet, it still could not stop her relentless assault and furious roars. Witnessing this, the Divine Marius, hovering in the void, could not help but gasp in shock. “What kind of monster is this?”The powerhouses on both sides of the battlefield were stunned as they witnessed th
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
