Upon hearing this, Xalvador’s face twitched with embarrassment. It was clear that James’ words had hit a nerve, reflecting his true thoughts. However, hearing such words from a mere living being felt offensive to the high and mighty Alcide beings like him.No matter what, these despised living beings now held the fate of a hundred thousand Alcide beings in their hands, capable of deciding their lives and deaths at any moment.James suddenly turned around and stared directly into Xalvador’s eyes. The surge of overpowering aura made Xalvador tremble uncontrollably and fall to his knees with a thud. His face turned pale, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.As the foremost of the Seven War Saints under Lord Goyo, his status across the Greater Realms was among the top five, if not the top ten. Among the Five Path Emperors, only Lord Goyo and Emperor Qadeer had ever intimidated him. Yet now, he was utterly shocked by a lowly living being. “Sir Xalvador, it must have been a long
Facing James’ overwhelming threat, Xalvador slowly got back up and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with two teeth.Despite the raging fury in his heart, Xalvador had neither the strength nor the leverage to retaliate. He felt his cultivation base and power being increasingly suppressed by the Nothingness Dead Energy. “Guess again!” James shouted.Xalvador slowly closed his eyes and gave a bitter smile. “James, just kill me. With your dominance, it seems you won’t choose to cooperate with us...”Slap!Another crisp sound echoed as James struck Xalvador with the Anonymous Gas and sent him sprawling again. This time, the gas was even stronger, causing his body to twitch as a strange. The black Dead Energy emanated from him.To his astonishment, he realized that the Nothingness Dead Energy suppressing his cultivation base and power had miraculously disappeared. Not only that, but his severe injuries had healed completely after James’ three powerful slaps.After his initial shock
“However, he authorized me to meet with you, and you can bring up any conditions you have to me.”Upon hearing this, James stared directly into Xalvador’s eyes and then smirked devilishly.Xalvador could not help but feel nervous as he saw this unsettling smile.“Your Majesty, I’m speaking nothing but the truth. I have the soul sigil of Lord Goyo as evidence.”“No need to show it.” James pushed back the sigil Xalvador offered. “Except for Lord Goyo in person, neither you nor anyone else will be accepted.”Seeing James’ dominance, Xalvador’s expression fluctuated between red and white. He was like a cat on a hot tin roof, pacing back and forth in front of James. He was very anxious as if some unspeakable secrets could not be revealed. Meanwhile, James leaned against a huge rock, slowly pulled out a jar of Chaos Absinthe, and began drinking nonchalantly.After a while, Xalvador seemed to have made a certain decision and said to James, “Your Majesty, Lord Goyo’s faction is willing t
Xalvador slowly closed his eyes, struggling within himself. He understood that at this point, any attempt at concealment would be in vain and would only bring disgrace upon himself.James’ extraordinary mental acuity and keen intuition, as the lord of all living beings across myriad realms, were simply unparalleled. This sent shivers down his spine.Taking a deep breath, he finally spoke with difficulty. “I can take you to meet Lord Goyo...”“No.” James refused. “Let him come to me.”“He can’t come!” Xalvador suddenly snapped angrily. “He has fallen victim to a treacherous plot by Maria and is severely injured.”At this revelation, James could not help but furrow his brow. He wondered who could plot against someone of Lord Goyo’s cultivation base and strength.Thinking thus, he asked coldly, “Who is Maria?”Xalvador sighed lightly. “She is the chief executive director of Goyoan Temple, responsible for its daily affairs, and one of Lord Goyo’s most trusted confidants.”Hearing t
“She looked absolutely ravishing even in that state!” The gray-haired elderly cultivator chuckled slowly. “Let me have my way with her first once we subdue her, Dorvus. I’ve never seen another lady who is as captivating as Yehria and the Yin governor like her.” Dorvus grinned. “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Salim. I want the gorgeous lady as much as you do.” Salim Withal, the Supreme War Saint, furrowed his brows and said, “I’ll let you have Maria instead! I’m sure you’ll enjoy having a Double Cultivation with her.” “Maria!” Dorvus ran his tongue along his lips. “Sheʼll make a wonderful slave for Double Cultivation. However…” “Iʼll add one more thing to my offer.” Salim stared at Dorvus. “Iʼll let you take full credit once we capture Lord Goyo.” Dorvus widened his eyes and laughed heartily. “Alright! Itʼs a deal!” He stood up and called aloud, “Stop resisting, pretty lady! Weʼll spare you if you agree to surrender now!” Those remarks enraged Harper. She extended her arms an
“We can always rush forward and fight these men. And Iʼm not afraid of dying.” Yianni continued monotonously, “However, do we have what it takes to rescue Harper? “What do we do if we fail to rescue her and ruin Jamesʼ plan instead?” “Who cares about sticking to a plan in a situation like this?” Morgott snapped, “Can you bear to watch her die right in front of your eyes?” Yianni took a deep breath. “Alright, letʼs do it…” “Wait.” Lesia said, “You two will only sacrifice needlessly since youʼre no match for those guys. I should be the one doing the rescuing.” Just then, Harperʼs clear voice reverberated through the space. “Dorvus, Salim, and Maria! Donʼt get ahead of yourselves! Youʼre all dead meat once my sweetheart is here! “Iʼve braced myself to meet my end at any moment ever since weʼve decided to invade Forty-Ninth Heaven. Even if I die now, my fellow living beings will not give up fighting. “My sweetheart will lead the living beings and bring down all of you imposto
Dorvus and Salim came to their senses as well. They could hardly believe what they had just witnessed. Meanwhile, a small commotion erupted among the Alcide beings who were watching from the side. “How dare you hurt my woman! You must have a death wish, demon!” Salim flew into a rage. He transformed into a beam of light and darted in Mariaʼs direction. The purplish-gold light sword turned around and headed for the beam of light as well. Boom! Boom! Boom! Deafening noises echoed through the area as the purplish-gold light sword and the beam of light collided. To everyoneʼs surprise, they could see Salimʼs beam of light being destroyed one section after the other under the purplish-gold light swordʼs swift attacks. Boom! A violent blast of air was sent outward in all directions as the beam of lightʼs final section was shattered. The bodies of numerous divine beings and Marauder Warriors found nearby exploded as they could not withstand the overwhelming pressure. As fo
“Aargh!” Mariaʼs shrill and terrified screams somehow brought everyone to their senses. They could see her skeleton fall apart. Maria was still screaming hysterically after her head, the only good part left of her body, plopped onto the pile of bones on the ground. Everyone was paralyzed with fear at the sight before them. Maria was the chief commissioner at Goyoan Temple and Lord Goyoʼs close aide. She once represented Lord Goyo in exercising his authority across the different realms, but someone managed to put Maria in such a horrific state. Meanwhile, an ashen-faced Dorvus was shaking all over like a leaf in the wind. His legs threatened to give way at any moment. Behind him, the gods of the Four Seasons had prostrated themselves. They kept their heads low, trembling and sobbing quietly out of fear. Divine beings like them were not afraid of death since it meant they would either have to start over again or they would cease to exist completely. However, they feared end
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
