Since assuming control of the affairs across the Greater Realms, Xanthakos favored those who were among the first to enter Zymurgy. Of course, some Alcide beings ingratiated themselves with him, pledging their loyalty.“But think about it, his influence is already enough to force me to such an extent. He is also backed by Taiyi, even the other three Path Emperors have no choice but to follow him. So what can we, as Alcide beings, do?”Listening to Goyo pour out his frustrations, Thea glanced at James and asked, “Does this mean we misjudged the Alcide beings?”James replied calmly, “Not entirely. Their attitude toward us indeed had scrutiny, perhaps even excessive, but there are underlying reasons. Ultimately, the cause of it all is Xanthakos.”Goyo frowned and said, “Exactly. In our eyes, Xanthakos represents all of the Greater Realms’ beings. For his own selfish ambitions, he had brought such devastation to the Haleth Realm and has been actively suppressing our kind. How can we no
The Jawdat Region exists amidst the expanse of the Forty-Ninth Heaven, a pristine domain dedicated to the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness It is also revered as the birthplace of the Waitara Path, acknowledged as the Genesis of Paths.Situated eighty-one billion light-years beyond the surface of the Forty-Ninth Heaven, neither gods, demons, nor even the Xyloria Gods could use their divine powers to reach the place. The only access to the Jawdat Region is through the unpredictable Whirlwind Sentinel, which was a very rare phenomenon.After one enters the Jawdat Region, regardless of their level of cultivation or strength, they are purified by the boundless energies within. All powers are stripped away, reducing them to their primal state and leaving them devoid of everything they possess.Thus, the Jawdat Region is known as the first taboo of the Haleth Realm. Even the Taiyi and Taichu would hesitate to venture into its depths.However, at this moment, on the normally quiet edge of
Xanthakos stated, “First, I have the Sealstone Pearl, a treasure that my wife, Mirella Windrider, had left behind. It’s capable of locking onto any passages. That’s how I accurately pinpointed the Whirlwind Sentinel.”He sighed, looked at Quentyn, and explained, “The second thing we had brought were the three hundred billion female servants. After we entered the Whirlwind Sentinel, their yin bodies helped us determine the exact coordinates. They played a huge role and proved their worth.”Quentyn's face darkened instantly. “You sacrificed three hundred billion lives just to find the coordinates of the Jawdat Region?“They were devout followers who worshiped you. Even the weakest among them was at the Yitro Daeclon Rank. Yet, you used them as sacrifices?”Quintus quickly grabbed the enraged Quentyn to prevent him from exploding. Meanwhile, Xanthakos sighed regretfully. “There was no other choice. How else could we fulfill our plan and wrest control of the Haleth Realm from the Alcide b
With a sudden, muffled sound, Quintus lunged forward, stabbing Quentyn in the lower back with a dagger.Quentyn trembled, turning around in disbelief.Xanthakos also glared sharply at Quintus, completely taken aback by the situation.“I…” Quintus panicked, shouting, “How could you betray Emperor Qadeer and side with James? He’s not even a match against you. He’s a defeated foe. How can he compare to Emperor Qadeer?“You’ve gone mad, absolutely mad. I won’t allow anyone to betray Emperor Qadeer, not even you!”With a roar, Quintus pulled the dagger from Quentyn’s back and aimed for his head.Bang!Quentyn countered, thrusting his palm forward. Quintus was instantly sent flying upon impact. The force of the blow sent Quintus hurtling towards the barrier of Jawdat Region.Xanthakos waved his hand, enveloping Quintus in a shroud of Nothingness Dead Energy, halting his fall just before he hit the formation.The next moment, he fumed, “You’ve truly gone insane, Quentyn! We’re sworn
In front of outsiders, even his own wife and children, Xanthakos could maintain the facade of a virtuous and compassionate man. But in front of Quentyn, he could not pretend to be righteous. Quentyn had been with him since they embarked on their path of cultivation. They knew each other’s pasts and deepest secrets.Quentyn sighed and said, “You’re no match for James. In terms of benevolence, righteousness, decisiveness, wisdom, and strength, you fall short in every aspect compared to him.“Perhaps once, you brought hope to the beings of the Greater Realms. They revered and worshiped you, seeing you as someone who could become their lord. However, your desire and selfishness for power destroyed all of that.”Quentyn's face twitched with extreme pain, and he instinctively reached for the wound on his lower back.Seeing this, Xanthakos clenched his fists, his face twitching with barely contained rage.Quentyn sighed and said sentimentally, “Our brotherhood has come to an end. I didn’
Meanwhile, James had arrived at the Goyoan Temple.Amid the shattered walls and ruins, corpses lay scattered everywhere, blood flowed like rivers, and a mist of blood filled the air, creating a scene of utter carnage.For the Alcide beings and the treacherous divine beings who had taken over this place, Goyo showed no mercy, slaughtering them all.Even when the traitors panicked and begged for mercy upon his arrival, Goyo’s disciples and followers continued their ruthless massacre without hesitation.Betrayal is a one-way path. Any ruler with ambition knew that in a life-or-death struggle, there could be no leniency.“This is quite a bloodbath.” James sighed as he stood in the main hall of the temple. “Are you being so ruthless to intimidate me?”Goyo shook his head and replied solemnly, “No, of course not! Sometimes cleaning up requires drastic measures.”With that, he waved his hand and shouted, “Everyone, clean up the mess!”Following his command, a large number of Goyo’s d
James furrowed his brow and urged, “Get to the point.”Goyo stared intently at James and responded, “His Nothingness Dead Energy! If Xanthakos can truly enter the Jawdat Region, obtaining Nothingness Dead Energy wouldn’t be difficult because the Jawdat Region was once the Xyrisia Gate.”Thea rolled her eyes and said, “We need a way in.”Goyo shrugged and said, “I don’t have a way. But I do have something that can roughly pinpoint the Wuia Palace’s location.”He immediately handed over a shimmering box.James turned away without taking it, but Thea accepted it and opened it directly. Inside, she found a purple-gold compass, looking surprised.“Is that it?”Goyo nodded and answered, “Yes! With this, you can avoid a lot of troublesome situations. Once the position of the Wuia Palace is locked down, the rest will be about navigating through the three layers of tribulations that surround it.”Thea turned to James and said, “Regardless of whether Xanthakos has gone to the Jawdat Regi
In the Taichu Daonus Realm, within Taichu Temple, Taichu sat serenely on a cushion dressed in a pristine white robe. Below her, eight Great War Saints delivered reports, updating her on the ongoing battles in the Forty-Ninth Heaven. At this point, she had developed a thorough grasp of the situation on the battlefield.After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly said, “Does any of you know where Goyo is?”The War Saints exchanged glances, then simultaneously shook their heads.Taichu sighed lightly, a tinge of regret in her expression. “He is the esteemed leader of the Path Emperors, the strongest of the Greater Realms. He couldn’t have really been killed by a bunch of small fries, right?”As soon as she finished speaking, a beam of purple-gold light suddenly shot into the hall, instantly transforming into a divine being with a stunning appearance, kneeling on one knee.“Reporting! We’ve acquired news that Lord Goyo has reappeared and has retaken the Goyoan Temple, clearing out t
